Smith and Webster - BRINED & SMOKED FIRE GRILLED WINGS - Southern Near Me - Miami, Florida

I made it back to Smith and Webster in North Miami but for brunch this time! It did not disappoint!  This beautiful restaurant is owned by retired NFL player Kayvon Webster and Starex Smith (Food Blogger "The Hungry Black Man"). I would describe the menu as Southern cuisine with a twist of French and the Caribbean.  This spacious restaurant has a bar, happy hour, dinner and brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Oh and there's a 90 dining max. DRINKS Hmmm where are the brunch cocktails/drinks? Cranberry Mimosas, brunch punch, Spiked Sparkling Basil Lemonade. fresh orange juice, apple juice, coffee, etc. I had WATER. lol SIDES Buttermilk Biscuit w/ House Honey Butter --- It looked like a smothered biscuit. The SAUCE was everything! Adding some ginger would even kick it up a notch. Soooo good! The biscuit sauce combo hit the spot. Also, it said "BiscuitS" however I received one biscuit. Fix this please. Make it singular. MAIN Crispy Lemon Catfish/Cajun Cream Sauce and Grits ---- Delicious! The grits were so creamy and flavorful and the fish was cooked to perfection with a delicious sauce on top however I did not taste the lemon as per description. Cajun Fried Salmon Bits and over Creamy Grits/Cajun Cream Sauce ---- Same as above w/ a tasty sauce. Applewood Smoked Apple Cider Bacon ---- Just look at the photo! The thick smoky bacon was soooo good and paired with the grits. Grade: A- read more

First time visit since the reopening and the place is beautiful. From the greeting to the food and service, everything was 10/10. I had an array of appetizers, including the oysters, shrimp, smoked and citrus wings, tacos, and for the entree, oxtail lasagna. The food was amazing!!! The drinks were also very good. Our waitress Daija was very attentive and right there throughout the night. I would def recommend this place and asking for her, during a nice night out for dinner and drinks. Happy hour as well too! read more

The place was horrible. The costumer service was horrible. We waited a lot 1-hours for drinks then told that they ran out of glass wear when the restaurant was very empty. It took around 2 houses to get food. We order food n was told that the reason behind the wait was because the party was large and they wanted to bring all the food at one time. when they still brought the food out 1by 1 n half the party didn't get there for at all because they still hadn't cooked it yet. in the 2 hours the served other tables. The manager was very rude and disgusting , told us that any food that we cancel they would just give it to the next table that orders the same thing. There was plenty more bad things going on at this place that made me never want to go back and even give a second chance read more

I would highly recommend this place. It is black-owned and has a great atmosphere. I would suggest making a reservation before going here though; it has become a very popular place, and for good reason. The food is amazing. The ambiance is great. The service is great. I just really love everything about this place. read more

BLACK OWNED LETS GOOOO!!! The atmosphere was very nice and clean. With great music. Our waiter Michelle was pleasant and helpful with our food / drink order. Definitely recommend the Raspberry lemon drop! Now to the main event the Food. We ordered the Rockefeller oyster, Crab cake, and Snow crab legs appetizer. - Oysters was okay. The collard greens took over the dish. - Crab cake was meaty. No complaints great dish. - Snow Crab legs. The butter sauce made the dish. Entrees we Ordered the Short Rib, Turkey wings, and Grilled pork chop which they ran out or don't sell anymore. So we opt for the Branzino. And side of Brussels spouts. - Short Rib was sent back the sauce was too sweet definitely could not enjoy the dish. - Turkey Wings was dry and the cornbread stuffing was not it. The collard green and black eye peas was salty. -Branzino. Was amazing no complaints cooked to perfection. Brussels spout was tuff. Could not enjoy them. Could have been cooked longer. Unfortunately we all was sick throwing up not even 5 minutes after leaving the establishment. Don't know if I will return. I don't know anyone who will pay almost 400 to be sick. read more

I have a lot to say.however I will keep it short. The food was good. The service could've been better. I'm sure We was over charged. And I'm still waiting on my receipt. My brother paid for my party of 11 on 9/8 and they didn't give us a receipt. I reached out to yall via phone I was told that it would be sent to me. I'm still waiting for it. read more

BEWARE OF BEING OVER CHARGED!!! The bartender Essence was amazing. If it wasn't for her we would have never enjoyed one moment at this location. Once we were finally seated, our server took over 20mins to take our drink order (at least 40 mins after our reservation). The cocktails weren't brought to us until another 30 mins later. THEN the server finally came back to take our food order. Never checked on us in between for refills of any kind. Got some of our food (after another 40 min wait) Eventually maybe 10 mins later getting the rest. Still never asked if we wanted any more drinks. Our server isn't the one who brought our food out. Finally when our server came I pointed out the sides I received wasn't what was on the menu. She responds "maybe the kitchen is out of the sides". Soooooo you just give me what you want to give me instead of providing me options? Collards greens is very different from red beans & rice. I asked for hot sauce and water..... 10 mins later I have to ask again for the same. The food was fine. Like I said the bartender Essence made great drinks. The service was crappy as heck from our server. THEN she wouldn't hand us the hand held payment machine. She wouldn't let it go so we could review the charges!!!!! We had to ask for a printed copy of the tab before we paid for it. She had it already printed!! It was in her pocket. When I said oh it includes service charges of 18%. The servers demeanor completely changes! Remember she wouldn't let go the handheld payment machine. She tells our friend to tap her card on the machine. We tell her we're tipping in cash. Again straight attitude as she tells lies!!! She starts to tell us that she doesn't get any money from the service charges. It's all pooled with everyone in the restaurant (table busters, bartenders, etc, etc.) The tip we are leaving goes to only her she doesn't have to split it. The whole point in pool tipping is to make sure all staff is taking good care of every customer. If you want to provide an additional tip then that's because you provided that exceptional service and deserve it. That's why it's "additional". The fact that her whole demeanor changed and she was crappy already as it was... why would anyone want to give you more? You weren't attentive, you were even smiling, couldn't even get water & hot sauce in a timely manner. I'll definitely be double checking that charge that hits my friends bank account to see if she gave herself an additional tip on that payment machine she didn't want to let go of. read more

Smith and Webster - Miso Salmon - Southern Near Me - Miami, Florida

I love this place. I've been for brunch, happy hour, and dinner. The food is on point, the music is great, and the service was excellent. This is Miami. The price point is on par with other restaurants I go to and the food here is some of the best. An 18% service charge is also pretty standard, so I'm not understanding the complaint there. They've done a great job here and I hope to see them stay for years to come. read more

I wanted to love everything about this restaurant. But alas my expectations were too high. The first missed opportunity was no clear signage on the door that enters into the establishment. Upon entering the restaurant the ambiance was great and we were greeted well. Second missed opportunity came with the seating. Our party of 9 was placed in an odd corner (we had reservations) the table and chairs were reflective of a conference room. The chair backs were extremely high for a restaurant. The tables were so oddly placed that the server Monique was not able to navigate and host the entire table seating. Third missed opportunity was our server Monique who had a displeasing demeanor and the personality of a burlap sac. Fourth missed opportunity I've never dined at a restaurant that serves its cocktails in faux glass. Said cocktails were reminiscent of non alcoholic juices. Your standard 1.5oz pours definitely came up short. Also, charging $14 for a small glass of hibiscus iced tea is an entire travesty especially when served in a plastic cup. Lastly, if an establishment has a size-able service charge included in the check said check should give the options for an additional 3-20% as an option. The choice was taken away by automatically making the options 18% or more which in essence will cause clients to inadvertently be tipping upwards of 35%. read more

this was my favorite restaurant at some point I have been going there since it opened but every time I go the price gets higher and the portions get smaller. Most of the food is pretty good but it's kids portions at adult prices and they don't make any substitutions so the meal said fried chicken Collard greens, macaroni and rice. I don't eat collard greens. I still had to pay for the collard greens and had to pay extra for a side that I actually liked. I did not like the fried chicken at all the batter was given. I don't even know the batter for fried chicken was weird and the texture of the fried chicken was also weird but the rice beans and macaroni was really good overall, I don't think I will continue to dine. Ask him if the Webster the overall in lower in the higher the more I go in the more I go the more disappointment read more

I wish they had an option for a zero as a rating. I visited this restaurant April 23rd, 2023. My heart bleeds for the experience I had at this place. I paid $82 for an Uber ride there and back and $95 for a dish and bad koolaid that they called a cocktail. The Martini was room temperature and not good at all. The food was below mediocre at best and overpriced for such trash. Out of the 7 to 8 main dishes they had on the menu, they were out of two. They even had a three ingredient salad, but was out one of the ingredients. The environment was a room full of 20-year-olds that was karaoke singing as loud as they could at their tables. The waitstaff were non responsive to the point that we had to ask other waiters and hostess for the items we needed. Some never came. They served the people at my table their salads long before the rest of us got our food. By the time our food came, our guest was finished eating. Anytime you leave 2/3 of your dish including over half the lobster on your plate and not ask for a to go box, you know it has to be bad. The website will give you a false sense of the reality you will experience there. I don't understand how I read such good reviews unless they are coming from people that haven't experienced real dining. This was supposed to be the grand finale of our girls trip. I should have kept my reservations at Mila but I wanted to support a black owned restaurant. EPIC FAIL........ I am so disgusted. If I can warn every person walking this planet not to go to this place, I would have served my purpose on this earth. If you want to waste money on a ghetto establishment with low quality food, then have at it. It's all yours. They automatically charge you an 18% gratuity, which is understandable; however, half (9%) of that gratuity goes back into the business and the other half (9%) is divided between all of the employees. How can you expect your employees to provide good service when they are only making pennies on the dollar. read more

It seems the place is very new just by a couple of things: 1. They stuffed my party of 10 into a closet sized area that guests had to walk through to get to the bathrooms. Very weird. 2. We got 2 appetizers and they never brought out plates. Most places have the plates set out or bring them with food. Not sure if they are very novice or what. 3. Getting refills is impossible. Your cup will sit empty. 4. The food will come out at different times. Example half the table was done eating by the time 2 meals came out. The long waits made it hard to wait until all food came out before eating. I'm talking 15 minutes between first couple dishes to the later ones to get all entrees out for the table. 5. The chef is good. 4/5 there. 6. Lemon drop was made with tequila vs vodka 7. As a whole, it needs a third party company or so to come in and teach them restaurant etiquette or turn it into a food truck read more

The food and ambiance was good. No complaints on this place at all. The only thing is that it is not kid friendly, no kids menu and just too loud, so just leave them at home. I had a small dinner party and I brought my kids but we had a private room. I will definitely be returning for date night. read more

My beautiful niece visited Smith & Webster, and found this restaurant incredibly AWESOME! The ambiance was beautiful and the staff was amazingly attentive and very much on point. At the bar and after we were seated, the manager walked around checking to see if we were ok and, "How was the food?" I loved it. I 'over love' customer service. read more

The vibe was really nice ! Its not that big but I loved the low lights & music playing ! Perfect for a date night or birthday . Also, the decor in the girls bathroom is perfect for pictures . However , They ran out of alot of items when I went for dinner around 7:30 but overall the food was good ! Quite EXPENSIVE though . Idk if I'll be back for dinner cause of the prices but maybe happy hour or brunch ! Also the cranberry lemon drop was delicious & our waitress was sweet. read more

You just have to try this place never mind the places around this is the best when looking for great food

This was my first time here for my aunts 65th birthday. I must say my oxtail lasagna was amazing. Each bite was full of lasagna. I also has a strawberry Hennessy that was a but pricey but decent. The only thing that through us off was the 90 minute rule. You have 90 minutes from the Starr of your reservation to order eat and mingle. That was challenging for such a large party especially because there was a few of us that was fashionablely late. And they don't play about that 90 minutes. They came to our area 6 times and told us we has to rap it up. But all in all I will definitely go back. It's an entire vibe, the food, the service and the ambiance is on point! read more

Nice ambiance! Great for a dinner night! Menu has a wide variety! The Blacker the Berry is definitely worth the price! I added a little simple syrup to mine to avoid some of the bitterness from the blackberries and pomegranate. My friend loved the jerk chicken pasta/ it was extra spicy! The bourbon glaze short rib was just ok unfortunately. It was good but I'm a big fan of short ribs so was excited about trying this. The mashed potatoes with it were nothing spectacular either. I will try the place again but out of many restaurants in Miami that are black owned and I've been too this spot would not be in my regular rotation. The biscuit was good as well!! Not sure $5 worth it for one but it was good! read more

We were a party of 8, celebrating my husband's birthday. Our waitress Destiny was friendly, well informed about the menu and made great suggestions. We had a little hiccup with one of the orders, but Jason the Manager addressed it right away and we were satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend the oxtail lasagna and sweet potato soufflé. My husband could not stop saying how good his turkey wing and cornbread stuffing was. Needless to say birthday boy was happy! One suggestion I have is to lower the volume of the music. It was hard to hold a conversation at times. The playlist needs some fine tuning. The genres of music were all over the place. Honestly, the food was so good we stopped noticing after a while. We are looking forward to returning for brunch in the near future. read more

Ok sooooo me and 3 guests went here on Thursday 4/25/2024. We ordered 2 lamb chops one with mac and cheese and one with mashed potatoes, turkey wings with stuffing and collards. Two lemonades and a rum punch. I have 2 say the lamb chops were fire, mashed potatoes just ok, the mac and cheese ok. Now 4 the turkey wings were tough and unseasoned, the greens had so much vinegar I could not eat, the stuffing was good. We were charged $5 valet parking, $35 service fee, and 18% gratuity. soooooo the bill was a whopping $287 for 3 people and the food was trash. I go the extra mile to support black businesses, but this was a horrible experience. I told the waiter that the greens had too much vinegar and I couldn't eat them and she said ohh ... I can tell you and everyone on here I will never ever ever support this location again...poor service and food. They charged us $35 without disclosing this in the beginning yall don't have to worry about me and my family ever again read more

The food was outstanding l, I had the Lobster and Grits and the lobster was so tender and juicy. Living in California grits are made with sugar but the grits and Smith/Webster blew me away and changed my taste for a new taste of grits. I just wish I could have taken some home on the plane. The service was excellent above and beyond standards, very attentive ensuring my needs were met. The ambiance was beautiful the decor and style was chic and sophisticated. If your in Miami this is the place to go!!! I will be back!!! read more
