Food was great and our waitress was very sweet. The cornbread soufflé wasn't my favorite but that's just me. Overall, I recommend this place! read more

Wow!! I guess this place has been around since 1950! 76 years!! It was delicious!! We hit this place on our way back from Key West. We stopped at Robert Was Here, first. It's a few miles down the road. It is very casual, with a roll of paper towels at your bench. We were fans of the sweet sauce and honey mustard sauce. Great price with a ton of food!! read more

Great--loved the smoked chicken, balanced seasoning and was a huge leg. The cornbread soufflé was excellent, just the sweet I need to pair with the bbq. The sauces on the side were great--loved the spicy vinegar one and the mustard bbq sauce. Alright--all of the bbq came with a ton of sauce dumped on it which makes it difficult to enjoy the flavor of the smoke/grill. The ribs and brisket were quite dry. The burnt ends had a 3:1 ratio of meat to fat and was too fatty overall. Service was excellent. read more

Service was terrible, our waitress was on her phone, talking to everyone and we had to ask for things several times. We drove 45 minutes south to eat here since it was highly rated and recommended by a friend. We're going back to Mission BBQ. Better prices, wider selection of BBQ sauces, better corn bread and no need to tip a waitress. Even the key lime pie, who the waitress highly recommended since it was from "key west", was terrible. Not returning to shivers again. I think that place is popular in homestead because the options are limited. read more

Loved this BBQ joint! First the food quality is amazing, it's so good that some menu items do sell out. The service has been excellent, however it gets busy during the evenings and there is a longer wait time. Absolutely worth it though! I love the rustic look inside it's very homey, but I'm not a fan of the community style tables especially when it's packed. Still I'm giving five stars because it's really really good bbq! read more

Communal seating, fast service, decent bbq, although we found the popular brisket burnt ends to be dry, the portions on the smaller side for the price, and the bbq sauce a bit bland. read more

Okay, long time traveler here saying flat out this place has some incredibly good food. Been in a lot of states and ate a lot of BBQ. This might be my new King of the Hill. Pulled up and opened the car door to a heavenly scent. Loved the campy feel and the picnic table seating. But the star of the show is the food and the staff as 1and 1a. Man, I'm going to miss this place. read more

We came at a super busy time and waited about 25 min to be seated. We got wings and corn nuggets to start. Both were good, although the wings needed a more flavoring. Among the family we got a mix of ribs, burnt ends, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and brisket. Mixed reviews for sure. The flavor was good on all of it. They have some amazing bbq sauce! The burnt ends were by far our favorite. The brisket was a bit dry and the ribs had very little meat. That being said, the rest was really good. It is a typical bbq joint with picnic tables and lot of wood. All of the staff were super friendly. read more

This is definiitely one of those homestead \ Naranja originals. Outside definiitely looks like an old western movie. I ordered takeout. Ribs, pull pork, beef brisket, fries and hush puppies.

This place is a Homestead staple. It's been around forever. This is genuine and authentic BBQ. The place has a lot of open seating, it's just popular so you'll sometimes have to wait.

This is my 3rd time coming here and you know what they say...third time's the charm. And it was. The food was delicious and the service was great and the ambiance was nice. (It would've been better if that screaming baby wasn't there.) Anyways, I always try to have something different to a restaurant that I have been to before. And it didn't disappoint me. I ordered the burnt tips sandwich with hush puppies and cornbread soufflé and my fiancé had the half of chicken with the same sides as me. But this time I ordered the salted caramel cheesecake to go. It was so mouth watering, I can't wait to go back and try something new. I would still recommend this place to anyone who is willing to drive for awesome barbecue. Two thumbs up. read more

Shiver's BBQ is a staple BBQ spot in Homestead. My friends have been raving about this spot over the years and we finally decided to take a lil adventure down to Homestead to get it with a group of friends. We went on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy since we were able to grab a seat with a group of 6 and my friend says that there is usually a line out the door. Seating is on what looks like large, communal picnic-style tables so get ready to get friendly with a few folks. Our server was super quick and friendly. My friends are regulars here from over the years so we knew what to order right away. We all mainly came here for their famous brisket burnt ends but unfortunately they were completely out when we came. That's the only reason I can't really give this spot five stars because everything we tried was just good, in my opinion, and I was really looking forward to this. It was also the beginning of the day when they opened when we came so it was a bummer they didn't have this. We ended up ordering a whole bunch of other stuff. Their plates and combos all come with two sides and they have a big variety to choose from. All my friends are huge fans of this place so I think I had too high of expectations coming in. Again, everything was good but just not too out of the ordinary in my opinion. I'm also not the biggest BBQ fan so I think I have high expectations when it comes to BBQ. Overall, still a good spot if you want some classic BBQ if you happen to be in the Homestead area. Not sure if it's worth the drive from anywhere more north like Broward of PBC but worth a stop if you're here! read more

Head to this place to step back in time. It's family style seating in a tiny building way down south. The bbq is GOOD. My only complaint, if it is one, is that they finish it with too much sauce. I'd rather taste the pork rather than it be slathered in bbq sauce. I loved the collard greens and enjoyed the beans, but the corn soufflé was a little greasy. Overall, I'd order the spare ribs and the greens again. The service was great - I think I'd go nuts working there but they were all grace under pressure. It gets pretty toasty inside, so don't wear a jacket. The car picture is just for fun. :) I love VWs and there were 3 antiques parked outside. read more

We came as a group from the community center, and we were treated terrible. They refused to give us individual checks. It took a nightmare to figure out how everybody could pay when someone came without cash. Some came of cash and they refused to be accommodating. We'll never come back again. The chicken tenders were fake chicken very disappointing. Save your money go somewhere else. The kids pork sandwich had two little slivers of pork on it. I'd leave zero stars if I could will never come back. read more

This restaurant was highly recommended by my friends as some of the best BBQ in town, so I was really excited to pay a visit! Inside is a spacious barn-like atmosphere where there are lines of tables for people to sit. The time we went was not too busy, but I've been told normally there is a constant line of people waiting for seats outside. The food was amazing, so flavorful and fresh! My favorite appetizer starter is the fried Mac and cheese wedges - I will make sure to order this again! The catfish was well seasoned (not too salty and not too crispy either - bonus it was piping hot!) and the baby back ribs are delicious. The cornbread soufflé and cheesy hashbrown casserole are also worth trying, they're both so creamy. The only limitations to my visit were that they happened to be out of burnt ends for that day, which was something my friends really looked forward to eating. Also parking can be quite limited and it wasn't even packed that day (so I can only imagine rush hour here). All in all, I'll have to go back again to try these burnt ends and order all my favorite sides. But this was definitely a great visit for BBQ! Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

I have been there before. The last time I was there was 2025. I had a BBQ Chicken, Beef Rib, Fries and Coleslaw. I had a small order of Brisket and it was delicious! I love their Cornbread or the Soufflé! The one thing that I was disappointed in the Beef Ribs. It more like the Beef Back Ribs. The only reason for a 4. Otherwise, the service is excellent! The ambiance is Texas style. read more

We stopped by at around 5pm and there was no wait with a lot of seating available. The restaurant had large benches to seat all parties. The interior looked like a simple shop but air conditioned well to the point I felt like I needed a jacket. The bathroom also had its own very strong air conditioning unit. We both got the combos. My partner got baby back ribs and pulled pork with sides of hush puppies and bbq beans. I got wings and baby back ribs with hash brown casserole and cole slaw. The meats were good but the sides were all surprisingly cold. If not for the cold sides, I would've given the place a 4. read more

Shiver's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Homestead, Florida

The food was amazing; however, the wait time was incredibly frustrating. I understand that Sundays can be busy, but it was disappointing to see several parties who arrived after us get their food at least 30 minutes before we did. By the time the third couple who came in after us was served, it was hard not to feel upset. We brought this to our server's attention more than once, and her response was dismissive--she simply said it wasn't her fault and that our order just took longer. While I appreciate the challenges of a busy shift, the service we received left a lot to be desired. The food is great, but the overall experience was affected by the lack of attention and communication. The people who got there after us finished before we got our meal and when our meal was served it was cold. Sigh... read more

Super causal family place to dine in. Picnic style seating. Friendly service and easy to order. Be prepared to eat. Food is so tasty, you really don't need the extra sauce but it's a plus. Our favorites after the burnt ends and pulled pork platter. Yum yum. read more

Some of the best bbq ever. I could do wout my neighbors eating at my table but excellent service and food.

From the moment you step in the Shiver's you feel welcome. Seating is family style at long rows of picnic tables. We had read through the reviews and had some ideas of what we wanted to order, since we both wanted to try the burnt ends we went with the burnt ends meal with 2 sides, I chose green beans and cheesy hash brown casserole and my husband chose the pig trio with collard greens and barbecue beans. We shared the meats which were all delicious, perfectly tender with a wonderful smokey flavor. The cheesy hash browns were just like homemade with just the right balance of flavors and the collard greens were excellent with not too heavy of a vinegar taste. We elected to have the homemade banana pudding for dessert as a to go when we finally ate it it was good but not the best but very good. I would absolutely recommend Shiver's when you are wanting barbecue in the Homestead area. read more

Could you not this is the best barbecue place I have gone to in a very long time. The building itself is awesome. The inside was really cool. There was a lot of different posters and things that you can enjoy while sitting down for lunch or dinner. The barbecue sauces they had for their food was really good as well as their pulled pork sandwiches, their ribs and everything else. I do highly recommend you getting a nice tea as well because that was also delicious. This is the type of place where you wanna go and just relax and eat your food and talk to others around the service by our waiter was awesome and they did a fantastic job, giving us options and changing things around for those of us who needed it to be changed read more

Ordered the 2 chicken breast platter with two sides (cole slaw and beans). Wife ordered meal with french fries and fried okra. Both chicken breasts sent back ref over cooked and dry. The French fries and okras were hard from over cooking in grease. Beans over salted. I was charged for the two chicken platter-sides $3.99 each. Will not be returning guess i got a bad batch meal. The waitress was great she was tipped 20%. read more

What?!?! You haven't been here? You must not like great eats off the bbq grill! Best barbecue in Florida. fuggedaboutit!!!

Unfortunately this place has totally changed, today our order was put out to serve and it sat there for 17 mins before it was brought to us , obviously is was cold, they took it back and reheated, instead for serving a fresh dish and again it was put out to be served and the waitress ( heavy set lady with black hair ) was sitting while on her phone and wasn't bringing the food again so I had to get up and get it myself. After all that the ribs were dry and hard and lukewarm ( maybe because they reheated it in a microwave ). This is a NTR ( never to return ) restaurant. read more

First time going to a BBQ restaurant in this area and I am very impressed. Went on a Saturday and the wait was about 10 minutes. I loved how the restaurant inside felt very Southern and homey. Seating was community style picnic tables which means that another party could sit close. Ordered one meal to share and it was completely enough for two people even having left overs. The ribs were made to perfection as well as the cornbread souffl. Would definitely return to give the brisket a try. read more

Great place we really enjoyed it here. Felt very welcoming, very much a homestyle setting and the food was outstanding

If you're looking for fantastic BBQ, shivers is the spot. I've tried a few BBQ places and so far none measure up.

I was excited to try Shiver's because of the strong reviews. As previous reviewers said, go with the baby back ribs because they're the most tender and flavorful. I got the two meat combo (pork spareribs and baby back ribs), green beans and BBQ beans. The pork spare ribs were tough and not seasoned enough. The baby back ribs were flavorful and much more tender. The green beans were canned and could have been skipped. I would give this a 5/10 or 3/5. I may try it again but generally speaking this is overrated. Just got to Apocalypse BBQ and call it a day. read more

Haven't been here in a long time and now i remember why... I got the rib trio.. Beef back ribs had almost zero meat plenty of membrane tho smh.. My spare ribs were dried out beyond belief and my baby backs were tender although cold... This was a Sat around 1:30 lunch time and they were packed.. My wife ordered the half baby backs and burnt end combo... she asked for no sauce on the burnt ends or ribs and that whole order needed to be redone because the kitchen didn't follow the instructions so we didn't get to eat together.. The remake of her order took another 15 min which i don't under stand because the food is pre made. I've tried to come here over the years and every times it's a disappointment... The only reason why it's soo packed is Sonny's is still not open and there's no other options around.. also prices have keep going up yet the quality keeps being sub standard imo.... read more

Shiver's BBQ - menu 2/10/18 - Barbeque Near Me - Homestead, Florida

This place is worth a try if you're visiting the Homestead area. It's one of the best BBQ places at which we've eaten in a long time. In short, it's southern BBQ at its finest. Prominently located on US 1, it is not hard to find. It's brightly lit up at night and the storefront screams to you upon entry that you're about to get a wonderful downhome meal better than your mother used to make (sorry, Mom!). Inside there's long benches arranged in parallel running the length of the interior. It's meant to give the feeling that you're in a picnic pavilion. It's possible at the busiest times that you could be a little cozy with your neighboring party. But we were there at a time where it was only moderately busy and we never had the feeling of being on top of those next to us. We were seated right away and our server attended to us without delay. She clearly was experienced and very good at her craft. She did a great job throughout our stay. The menu featured a lot of Southern favorites making it hard to choose. One thing we knew we wanted to try was the fried corn on the cob and it turned out to be a highlight. It was made to perfection and tasted as good as it sounds. It's a great choice as a starter. For her main, my wife decided to try the Burnt End Sandwich, which she enjoyed immensely. I had a taste and thought it was exceptional. Another highlight for this place is the fabulous array of sides. She chose the Cole Slaw and Sweet Potato Soufflé. The cole slaw was good but the soufflé was great. I had the BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Cornbread Soufflé and Baked Beans. The baked beans were good, the sandwich was excellent, but the soufflé was special. The combination of tastes made this meal perhaps the best one of our one-week trip to Florida. It is not often when I have very good meat for my meal that I say the sides were the highlight...but these soufflés were simply that good. Something else to highlight was value. We had just water to drink so our bill with food, tax and tip was under $50 USD. At less than $25 each with leftovers to take home for another small meal or snack, I was quite happy with the value. The quality was great and the quantity was quite sufficient. If we get down this way again, we'll be sure to make another stop. read more

Food is more like 4 stars. Service at to go is lacking. Plus a missing item. We ordered takeout from here yesterday. We had to drive 30 minutes to get here but he said it was worth the drive. So we did. We placed the order over the phone. It is a loud place so a little difficult to order but not too bad. Parking here can be annoying. It gets crowded and there are some skimpy spots. He drives a full size truck. Even if we wanted to dine in we would not have been able to. I love, love brisket and hardly have it. I was looking forward to it but that ended up being the most disappointing thing we ordered. What wasn't fatty was dry. I LOVE the brisket at Mission BBQ in Davie and this one is the polar opposite. Disappointing. I at least sampled everything else and here is what I thought. Ribs. Excellent Chicken. Excellent Cheesy hashbrown casserole. Very good Mashed potatoes. Pretty good Baked beans. (I normally do not like these but I wanted to try it. That bite was pretty good. Saying a lot coming from me) Cole slaw (Something else I do not love but took a bite and this one is pretty good) He was supposed to get chicken tenders and that was not included. Now they have a sign saying check your order. Well, I didn't go in to pick up and he does not want to be bothered. By right, the restaurant should include what he paid for without him double checking. Other annoying thing is I wanted medium buffalo sauce. I told the gal on the phone. So they include 7 BBQ sauces. I happened to notice this because they were in a little bag. So I went back and asked for the buffalo sauce. The gal made me wait. A few minutes. Then she is just standing there looking at me. I asked for the sauces again. She told me it is $2. I did not bring money in. I did not want to go back to the car again which was parked a little far. They included all the wrong sauces. Nickel and dimeing is annoying when they made the mistake. I really wanted to give them three stars but the food is mostly good. Customer service is important too and that can turn me away from a place. read more
