    Brisket burnt ends with cornbread soufflé and Sweet Potato Fries
    Jany G.

    Very authentic and tasty! It took like 1/2 h for our food , but it's worthy. We will come back !

    Just another sampling of items off the menu. The ribs are tender and fall off the bone.

    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!

    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. Everything was good. It wasn't nothing special though just good. I am not that big fan of a BBQ food. Maybe I will come back.

    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. Service is good, just know you have to wait cause they pump out a lot of orders. The food is super delicious. My favorite is hands down the burnt ends. You have to try it.

    Shiver's BBQ still amazing, still has a friendly staff, and always hits the spot!!! ^.^ Rich Smokey flavors, homemade bbq beans, corn bread mash, sweet potatoes, etc. My absolute favorite is the Beef Brisket a must try with any side you pair it with is good. This mom and pop BBQ spot has been here for many many years and the atmosphere is friendly no wonder they have been in business for decades. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

    My Burnt End Sandwich with Hush Puppies and Cornbread Soufflé
    Ana S.

    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.

    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!

    Rib Trio and Ribs and Pulled Pork
    Aurora G.

    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.

    Fried Mac 'n Cheese Wedges
    Lauren W.

    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. P

    The Short Ribs w/cornbread soufflé & coleslaw.

    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.

    Haven't been there since the late 70's. Still the same great food and service! We lived in this area back then and would go here all the time. I thought that it would be gone by now, but glad they are still there and doing well! Love it!

    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.

It is pristine and clean inside. Very comfortable seating. Water is served to the table in an old whisky bottle which is a neat touch. They start you off with a bowl of chicharron. We started off with the queso frito, soft delicious cubes of cheese. What makes it is the honey drizzle on top. delightful.. We also had the salmon lunch special and the fried fish sandwich. The salmon was so tasty and so was the asparagus! The size of the fish is a little small, but hey, it's a lunch portion. I loved the balsamic drizzle. The fish sandwich was a great size and was tasty. It comes with the croquette of the day. today's was spinanch and cheese. I would like to return on a night where they have the live music to try their cocktails, or maybe one of their salads because they look good!

This is one of few locations in FL where the staff actually had more than 1 star. I rate our visit 4 stars mostly due to the menu changing. I was not impressed by the menu and I can see it slowly turning into an Applebee's. Another thing that caught me by surprise was the drink menu. I guess now they sell cocktails, wine, and beer. While I love a good glas of wine I don't know why it made me sad to see this on the menu (but I understand it helps them bring in more money and possibly younger crowd). I personally liked when there wasn't alcohol involved. Their pot roast was delicious and everything seemed reasonably priced.
