JJ's Cuisine did not disappoint! We ordered the large platter, and it was more than enough food to share. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The meats were tender, juicy, and packed with amazing BBQ flavor. Our server which was Heidy was very nice & helpful! She The real standout for me was the banana cornbread--absolutely incredible! It was moist, sweet, and the perfect complement to the barbecue. Honestly, it's worth coming back for all by itself. Great food, generous portions, and excellent value. We'll definitely be back! read more

We went for lunch on June 19 with a group of 11. We were served drinks and we ordered some appetizers for the whole table. Once we all ordered our main course, unfortunately it took well over an hour to be served. We wondered if the food would actually ever come? We think there were only two people working in the entire place. It was almost as if they called the cook in when we ordered? There were only two other tables in the restaurant so it wasn't like it was crowded and busy. The food was good. I had smoked chicken along with the Mac and cheese and it was delicious, although a few people said their food was cold. But no one wanted to send it back since they were starving at this point. Then came time for the checks. A huge fiasco! First it seemed as though should could not get whatever system they were using to work. When I approached her to ask if I could get my check as I had a doctor's appointment and needed to leave, she said I am having a problem. So I sat back down and patiently waited. We all did. Well over an hour later we got our checks and then it took well over another half hour to pay. All and all we were there for 3 hours for lunch! Unacceptable service! No apologies. No offer of anything to make up for this. Perhaps if she served us some coffee or a couple of desserts for the table while she sorted out whatever problem it was she was having it would have gone a long way to appease us during our long wait! With no one else to help her, I am sure she was super frustrated. No manager on duty? Only one employee on the floor? NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!!!! read more

The place was clean the service was nice the food was really good I really enjoyed my time there... I will be back when I come back in town! read more

If you are looking for top-tier BBQ and portions that will guarantee you leave with leftovers around Homestead, JJ's Cuisine is the place to be. I recently stopped by for lunch and was completely blown away. First, you cannot leave without trying their banana corn bread. It is absolutely spectacular--perfectly moist, flavorful, and the ultimate sidekick to their savory meats. I have never had corn bread with banana, and I was pleasantly surprised. The portions here are very large, to say the least. I tried both the pulled pork tacos and the Beefy Toston bites with brisket. The tostons were absolutely huge, packed with flavor. Every single bite of brisket and pork was cooked to perfection. I also had a passionfruit milkshake which was amazing. My friend ordered the Smoky BBQ Platter with a side of mac and cheese, and it did not disappoint. The smoky depth of the meat combined with the rich, creamy mac made it a standout plate. We dropped in for lunch, and it was not crowded, making for a relaxed dining experience. I wish we had been there at night because they have live music, and I am sure it is an amazing vibe. Between the massive portions, the incredible banana corn bread, I'll definitely be back! read more

We had a great experience here! The food was great. The prices were reasonable for all the food you get. The brisket was so good. They have a banana corn Fred to die for. They also had bogo margaritas. Everything was really good. Our waitress Heidi was so kind and patient with us ordering. read more

Stepped into one of Homestead's newest steakhouse spots and the atmosphere alone sets the tone before the first bite even hits the table. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a bold brick accent wall with a vintage bicycle mounted front and center giving it that upscale industrial feel. The words "Serving Good" stretch across the brick, and it honestly fits the vibe perfectly. It feels intentional... warm... inviting. Inside, the space opens up with rich wood tables, clean black seating, and a modern layout that still feels comfortable. The lighting is dialed in soft but vibrant with a chandelier centerpiece that gives the room character without overpowering it. You'll notice the "blessed" sign on the wall, and it genuinely reflects the energy of the place good people, good food, good environment. The orange walls bring life into the room bold, confident, and different in the best way. There's a visible pride in the setup, from the clean floors to the organized seating and even the "maximum capacity" signage that reminds you this place is built to be full. And the people... that's what makes it. Smiles, hospitality, and that hometown feel you can't fake. Food, GREAT drinks, atmosphere all on point.cant wait to come back!! Homestead, this is what it looks like when local businesses step up and create something special. Let's support it. read more

You would not believe the lengths I would go for some good brisket. I just drove an hour to visit south Florida's only smoke house that uses Texas post oak wood. If you know you know. They have a huge space, their patio is gorgeous and can handle the Miami Heat. Somehow through sorcery they're able to maintain their outside patio at around 72 degrees in the summer. We checked them out for their new brunch menu, they have all the fixens, their brisket passed the test and if you go with a big group you have to try their pulled pork rustic fries. Those fries are beer battered to perfection with pulled pork. Their biscuits and gravy with the chefs signature pickled onions was an elevated version to comfort and I love their version of the corn bread. They combined banana annnnd corn bread. Genious. They have tons of events, space and a full bar to make any occasion fun. Their staff is insanely sweet and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back. read more

My family and I decided to have dinner here after hearing good things about the restaurant. There were nine of us, and when we arrived the dining room was relatively quiet, so we expected a smooth experience. We were seated quickly and our drink orders were taken without any problems. After ordering our meals, however, the wait became excessive. Nearly an hour and a half passed before our entrees reached the table. We checked with our server a couple of times and were simply told the kitchen was running behind. Considering there were several empty tables throughout the restaurant, the delay didn't make much sense. When the food finally arrived, some dishes were excellent while others had clearly been sitting for a while and were only lukewarm. Everyone was hungry enough that no one wanted to send anything back and wait even longer. The biggest frustration came when it was time to leave. Splitting the bill turned into a drawn-out process because the payment system kept having issues. We spent close to another hour waiting for our checks to be corrected and processed before we could finally pay and head home. In the end, what should have been an enjoyable meal lasted nearly four hours. Delays can happen, but what was disappointing was the complete lack of communication, apology, or effort to make things right. Good food alone isn't enough to make up for service like this. read more

The Mac and bri burger?! Man most filling and good eats I've had in a good while tha brisket literally melted in each bite! Milkshakes are dang good too! Bartender is so sweet and pours good so their drinks are definitely worth coming around for. Yall should definitely give this place a try!!! read more

We stopped here after a long day exploring the Everglades and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed the alligator bites, I had a half smoked chicken, and my husband had a burger. They are still working out the bar, so we had straight liquor as well as a tester drink and everything was great. The servers were personable and everyone made sure we were taken care of. If we come back to this area we will definitely come back. read more

The food was ABSOLUTELY DELECTABLE, the service definitely miles above any other place I have been as of late. I want to take a moment to shout out our waiter Juri, and "chef" for a very personal tour of the establishment. The ambience was sublime, the rustic colors, fully stocked bar, earthy tones as well as spacious dining room with a stage, and music that'll make you tap your foot or get up and dance. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

We were SET to go for a Community Center luncheon with a set price to make it so the seniors could afford to go out and at the last minute the owner decided not to honor it and we had to find somewhere else to go not a very nice way to treat your customers we will never go back again , the owner actually said find another place to go, they had everything worked out ahead of the day as it was planned and priced! read more

The food was great! We had the brisket sandwich, and the smoked pork belly chops. Both delicious. Service was good. It is a large restaurant, and we were the only ones in it so it felt a little bit awkward. My guess is they are relatively new, so that should solve itself. read more

My father and I were perusing Yelp to find a new place to eat for lunch and this place came up. Country is much our style but we decided that it looked pretty good so we gave it a try. Can't say we were disappointed! The food was incredible! I had the smoked ribs during the lunch special and they were amazing, the barbecue sauce was perfect, and the sautéed veggies along with it were great! My father got the Bacon Mac & Cheese and Pulled Pork Sandwich. In his words, he'll definitely be coming back to have that Mac & Cheese again, bacon flavor was amazing and the cheese was very creamy! And we were kinda surprised when the Pulled Pork sandwich came out because it was served on Sourdough bread, but the sandwich was made much better by it! Unique take on a pulled pork sandwich and it pays off! The waitress was also very nice and talkative with us, very pleasant experience! We'll definitely be coming back again! read more

We have been seeing this place for a while and have been wanting to come by, today was the day! Definitely won't be the last. The food was amazing, as well as the service. We came in on a Tuesday and it was empty when we came in. It was literally just us but slowly a couple more people trickled in. Don't let that fool you I promise you the food was still fresh and delicious. It seems like the weekend is their busiest times because they offer karaoke and music and things like that. During the week you can a more calm environment. We got a platter the one priced at $85 meant to be shared. We were 4 and we had lots to take home. The banana corn bread is a nice surprise, a creative twist on a classic. I would say the bbq has a Caribbean flair, maybe even Cuban. Being Cuban myself I season my ribs the same. It was like a mojo bbq. Amazing flavor. The brisket was super tender, the ribs as well. The Mac and cheese was and the veggies were amazing as well. Also their sweet tea was chefs kiss. All around a delicious dinner. We will be back for sure. A special thank you to our super kind waitress Thalia. She was a doll! read more

Honestly didn't know what to expect. I been to almost every spot in FL for BBQ but not 1 disappointed me like this one... Got a brisket and personally like it lean but it just tasted bland without the sauce.... Mac & cheese might be the worst one I've ever eaten. Not sure what the green thing is on top but it made it worse for the Mac with every bite just gave up.... The corn bread was the saving grace actually good almost nostalgic. Needs a lot of work this place. Please go see some other BBQ spots especially apocalypse in Kendall to see the quality on the brisket cuz it's not here chief read more

Wow!! My son and I ordered the mini platter-- the ribs were good, but they paled in comparison to the brisket and the pulled pork, which were amazing! Probably the best pulled pork I've ever had, and my son says the same about the brisket. Chicken was tender and perfect. The sautéed vegetables were actually pretty fantastic! If this weren't a barbecue restaurant, I could've ordered these and called them dinner! My son had the mashed potatoes and said they were ok, but not what he was looking for since they were out of macaroni and cheese and baked beans tonight... Maybe because those sides just that good? Still, absolutely five star barbecue and we will be back! Also great music playlist and our waitress was super helpful! read more

What a great place! The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend JJ's Cuisine.

I won't lie the outside a neighborhood was a little sketchy but the front was lit up very nicely and when you walked in, it was very clean. The atmosphere was uplifting and positive! The staff was prompt and responsive. The food came out looking amazing and it tasted delicious. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Went as a party of 5 for dinner and sat outside. We had the tostones with pork and the larger platter with 6 meats and some sides. Fed 5 people for less than $200 with leftovers to boot. Everything was delicious, banana cornbread is phenomenal. It's new so was pretty empty but they have a good thing going. The manager and waitresses were really friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend and will go back. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant while on Yelp and decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint! Kayla was our server who was absolutely great. The pulled pork on the marbled rye bread, topped with pickled onions and sauerkraut. This sandwich was out of this world good. Kayla recommended we try the corn bread that was definitely unique and equally delicious. Definitely going back to try the brisket she recommended! read more

Our service was not good. Three of our four orders came out together. Of the three one was wrong and had to go back. The fourth order took over an hour to come out and all it was just a baked potato. The manger didn't care that the service was poor and did not offer to comp any portion of the meal. Will never return and will definitely not be telling others to go there read more

We ordered the corn ribs(YUM!), Churrasco steak (so tender and melt in your mouth) with yuca fries (crunchy even after the drive home) and mixed veggies (fresh and not overcooked). We didn't eat inside the but the atmosphere looks just right for a date night. 100% recommend! read more

Delicious food and great open space. Service was A1. Will be returning soon! Very near and high quality!

Terrible place. Would never recommend. Don't waste your time. Trust me. I don't give this place more than a few more months until they shut down. --------- Edited review: Since the owner wanted to know my issues after accusing me of posting a fake review, here is my feedback. First of all, the pricing is ridiculous. The only thing that is a true bang for your buck was the rustic fries. To add to that, they don't offer free refills so on top of the expensive food, you're paying for each drink you're getting which is not typical at restaurants nowadays. Secondly, the food takes very long to make even though the restaurant is essentially empty. Lastly, they don't take cash and they don't specify that they don't until you're ready to pay which is ridiculous and incredibly inconvenient. I went to this restaurant maybe the second week of January to this restaurant and didn't post about it. The reason I'm posting it now is because my friend got food from there and brought some back and when I tell you I still wasn't impressed, I really wasn't. Also, for the owner to try and say that my review is fake rather than act professional and ask more questions is ridiculous. How dare you even say to me that "we don't have record with your information"? Excuse me?? Now I can add to my review that the owner is rude and unprofessional. Is that enough of a review for you? read more
