    Receipt for the lunch specials at Doral!!!
    G M.

    We stopped in to grab a quick sandwich before visiting someone in the hospital. We ordered two brisket sandwiches; one with fries the other with the onion strings. It was 2:00 pm on 05/14/2026. The sandwiches were delivered to us by the waiter, who was also the host at the door. The brisket was chopped up into little squares, cold and tasteless. The buns were cold as if they were just pulled out of the bag from inside the cooler. The onion strings were greasy and the fries were undercooked. The only redeeming thing on the plate was the single slice of tomato and the pickled onions. As well, the waiter overcharged us for the sandwiches. At $19.99 per sandwich, I would definitely expect something that would have blown my mind. These did not. Even if we were billed at the $15.79 lunch rate, I would have expected something better than what we received. The place was fairly empty (only a handful of tables occupied), but it was clean. I'm just extremely disappointed in the whole visit. I am sure someone from the store or corporate will contact me, but it will take a lot of convincing to return after such a bad experience.

    Ehh .. At first glance upon arriving it appeared good. Clean and plenty of servers/staff. Our waitress was friendly and took our order promptly. What we ordered: The hubs ordered a Long Island Ice Tea from the bar- good Burnt ends and cheese sticks - the apps were good- nothing over the top Cheeseburger - 6/10 it lacked flavor and was just plain Chicken breast plate w/ mashed potatoes and corn on the cob - 5/10 this dish had no flavor at all. The chicken was not seasoned and over cooked which made it taste extremely dry. The mashed potatoes were so plain and the corn was literally taken out of the water that it was cooked in because it tasted like water no flavor just bad. Hubs ordered - a mixed plate that had a chicken breast, steak, sausage baked potatoe and corn on the cob .. he said it was just "safe" in other words no flavor no seasoning just plain. Chicken sandwich - 6/10 just okay nothing to write home about .

    What can I say? Don't mess with perfection I've gone to other barbecue places, South West Palm Beach to Miami and the best place is famous Dave's. First of all I always said goodbye and get great service on the bartenders. Drinks are fairly priced and the menu at all. It is fairly price. This time I went straight to the food because I wanted a platter that brings a little bit of everything so I did order that platter. It was like a feast. It brought three ribs, cornbread corn on the cob with fries, mac & cheese barbecue chicken and brisket and baked beans. Every single ingredient was perfectly prepared. The ribs are almost amazing to superb. The preparation looks competition style as well as the brisket. Perfectly cooked perfectly sliced great pack of cheese great corn on the cob. The baked beans were amazing and so are they fried fries? I forgot to also say that I brought coleslaw. I mean this was endless. What can I say I almost finished it but it was a delight. Lots of napkins and lots of barbecue sauce just the way I like it. Add Jack Daniels to perfection. Perfection love the Bible. Seeing this place is always packed. There always got the game on great bar scene this is my go to place. I love it if you come you're missing out. Good family fun good barbecue great food. we also ordered a burger chug grilled it tasted like those barbecue burgers you did on your wedge grill wow.

    We were in the Doral area and decided to try Famous Dave's for the first time since the menu sounded great -- but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The drinks were pretty watered down, which didn't make much sense since it wasn't busy at all. Service was also really slow -- it took about 20 minutes just to cash out after getting the check. The tequeño cheese bites were actually really good, but we didn't get the aioli sauce that was listed on the menu. The boneless wings (not pictured) were a bit chewy and seemed overcooked. For the main entrée, we went with the Memphis-style baby back ribs. The menu said they were smoked for hours, but they tasted more like Chili's dry rub ribs. The mac and cheese had corn mixed in (which was odd), and the onion strings were cold -- probably sitting out for a bit. Hopefully this spot makes some improvements, because we'd definitely be open to giving it another shot in the future.

    A good taste of barbecue! Love the options with meats and the flavors of the barbecue sauce options. The server was so kind, funny, and attentive. He was a perfect fit for the night. Southern food all the way! Great tasting and finger licking good! The location was clean and organized. Lots of parking and well-lit at night. Overall my visit was great.

    I here arrived at 12:50pm on a summer Sunday afternoon to grab lunch with my son. We were seated promptly. 2 minutes after being seated, our waiter arrived and took our drink order. Our order was placed at 12:58pm. My son got the kids bbq chicken with sautéed veggies and an Oreo cookies. I got the lunch brisket with sautéed veggies. There is ample seating that can accommodate groups of various sizes. We received our food 15 minutes later. The food was delicious! I added some salt/pepper to the veggies but no complaints. If I'm in the area again, I'd return! Serve was prompt and staff were friendly and attentive.

    Famous Dave's is located in Doral by CityPlace Doral. Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday on a week night and it wasn't too busy. We had a large group so we made a reservation ahead of time. Although we made a reservation, they weren't ready by the time we arrived and we still had to wait a little to be seated so they could prepare our area. I liked how we were seated in a pretty private area with just our large group. The server was pretty prompt and attentive taking our drink & food orders as fast as he could while letting us know that it may take a while since there were several large parties that night. I shared the Feast for One and it was a good amount of food- ribs, chicken, brisket, and a few sides. We added the Burnt Ends for an extra $8 and a loaded baked potato. I don't think adding the burnt ends to this was worth it and will probably opt for it as an appetizer next time. Overall, the food was pretty good, especially considering I don't really like BBQ. The Devil's Spit was the best sauce and a great addition in flavor to what we got.

    The ribs that had no meat on the bone !

    I go to Famous Dave's frequently when I'm in the area ! I went on March 16, 2025 . I ordered take out . Usually I check my food before I leave - for whatever reason this time I didn't ! What a mistake . When I got home (I live near the zoo) I was pissed at the quality of food I got . I ordered a combo- wings and St Louis ribs , baked beans and coleslaw . I never got the baked beans ; they gave me mac and cheese (I hate mac and cheese ), and the ribs were meatless - no meat on then bone at all! The wings were old and dry but slathered with sauce to try to cover up the fact that they were old ! To say I was pissed is an understatement! If I lived closer I would have returned the meal ! Do better Famous Dave's , we pay too much money for food these days to have it not meet top tier standards!

    Food and service here is always good. Their draft beer tap lines need to be cleaned though. Draft beer tastes funky and flat no matter what you order.

We rotate locations to keep it fair, and last month brought us to Doral. We started at a cigar shop, wandered into Sports Grill Doral... and never left. At first glance, it feels like a classic sports bar. But spend a little time there and you realize it's operating on a different level. The food is outstanding, the beer selection is strong (especially if you're into IPAs), every major game is covered across wall-to-wall screens, and they even have a DJ on certain nights. What really sets it apart is the service. The manager, Manny, and his team created an experience that felt intentional, not transactional. When they saw we wanted to play dominoes, they didn't hesitate. They set us up with a proper table on the terrace so we could enjoy cigars, order cocktails, and settle in for the night without feeling rushed. That level of awareness and flexibility is rare. If you're in the Doral area and want a place that delivers on food, drinks, atmosphere, and experience, this is it. Whether you're catching a game or running a few rounds of dominoes, this spot earns a return visit.

For example, I got the "sports burger" as an entree but had no idea what toppings/sauce came on it. I got a side of fries, which could've used salt, and asked for a side of BBQ sauce to which they ran out of... on a Friday with a big football game happening. Service was on and food was ok at best. If you're looking for a quick bite, I'm sure this place is good but if you're looking for a proper meal, not sure it's "the place" to go. Also, bring a sweatshirt. The place is VERY cold.

Best Way Let's be honest: you don't always expect a sports lounge to deliver food that makes you pause mid‑bite and go "wait... this is actually amazing." But Doral Billiards does exactly that. Everything comes out hot, fast, and way tastier than you'd expect from a place where half the crowd is busy sinking shots on the pool tables. The staff here? Absolute gems. They're quick, friendly, and somehow manage to keep the vibe fun without ever hovering. Whether you're ordering food, switching up your hookah flavor, or grabbing another round, they make it feel effortless. This place is a paradise for pool lovers. The tables are clean, well‑kept, and plentiful, so you're not stuck waiting forever. Whether you're a casual player or someone who takes their cue game very seriously, you'll find your groove here. The whole place has this electric, upbeat energy without ever feeling chaotic. Dim lights, great music, the sound of pool balls cracking, people cheering at the TVs--it all blends into a vibe that's fun, social, and totally addictive. If you want a spot where you can eat well, laugh loud, smoke smooth, shoot pool, and watch the game--all under one roof--Doral Billiards & Sports Lounge is the move. It's the kind of place you go once and immediately start planning your next visit.

A tad light on dessert options for our taste hence why only 4 stars - but the typical Brownie Hot Fudge with Vanilla Ice Cream worked for us. Sodas of course for the under age and a dart board and table Polo for the restless kids - I vaguely recall. The place has clean bathrooms and nobody's ever rude unless you are and rush them too much. It's in the South-East end of Miami Springs just West of LeJeune Road (also same as N.W. 42nd Ave.) Go West on 36th Street from the Airport, past the McDonald's on the North side in a Days Inn I think No reservations needed unless maybe a very large party. It's really very close to the MIA Airport area. We went 3 times while down there. Prices we felt were very affordable for all items and the dress code is casual anything and families are definitely welcomed. Very much a locals place like Cheers but because they are adjacent a hotel - lots of out-of-towners and the airport lunch crowd too.
