We had a hankering for authentic smoked BBQ nearby. After a quick yelping, we ended up at the highly rated Smoke & Dough. It's easy to find right off Bird Road with easy strip mall parking. Upon arriving it sets the mood entirely with great fun appropriate decor and a prompt happy welcome. Staff Makes us feel they are glad we came-What a cool place! We settle on the brisket, baby back ribs, potato salad and beans with brisket. Can I tell you EvErYtHiNg was spot on!! And we plan accordingly to try their famous 12 hour smoked Flan dessert!! 1. Smoked Brisket- moist, perfect flavor, hearty portion, tender and high quality meat. Comes with great sauce, which I didn't use since it was so perfect as is. 2. Smoked Baby Back Ribs- Another hit with healthy portion, great flavor, and super meaty. Honestly, just hard to stop eating it! 3. Baked Beans with Brisket- A true meal unto itself! I could've stopped here! Tons of brisket ground into the beans, almost like the best "chili" ever. Flavor is sophisticated smokiness, not the usual sugary sweet restaurant rendition. Yay! 4. Potato salad is FIRE! Fresh perfectly cooked tender white potatoes, cooked carrots & peas add just enough interest and a magical a touch of mayo. Yes please. 5. 12 hour smoked Flan-STAR * of the show, the flan of my dreams! Staff insisted this flan is all that and they are correct! It's LEGIT. We left with a doggie bag, so worth it. Price was for real, you pay for quality. $74, but we brought plenty home. You could get by with a meal for two around $50-60, if you need. Check out their Later week Happy hour sand weekly specials as well as brunch & breakfast. It's all good here! Thanks for following me-happy spring 2026! ~Tami in Miami read more

Not your traditional barbecue but great flavors. They have given it a Miami twist with Latin inspired flavors. All the sides are great. The Mac and cheese and corn bread are a must! read more

My daughter and I love BBQ food so we were thrilled when we found S & D! It is located in the Sabina Shopping Center in Miami. We were greeted by the very personable Brayddy, who helped us pick out our dinner items. We were tired after being at a local pumpkin patch all day in the heat and just wanted to get home and not cook. So we did a take-out this time. It was very well packed and arrived in great shape. Brayddy outdid herself. Both ladies were very nice and helpful. We ordered and shared the very tender and well seasoned Brisket, which practically melted in my mouth. It was really good! We also got the half rack Baby Rib back...wow, it just fell off the bone and was so delicious!! Very good! The cornbread was amazing, especially with the sauce we were given to pour over it. I have no words. As a side dish for the meat, we got the Truffle Mac n Cheese, which was outstanding. Everything was great!! Last but not least, we unfortunately were disappointed in the Smoked Flan. It had no flavor, how could that be when the other items were so delicious? We each took a bite but couldn't continue, We have had flan before but this had a strange taste, I'm sorry to say. Things happen. We will still be back to enjoy the ambiance, great service, good music, and very nice staff. Kudos to the chef! Parking is in front of the restaurant and has wheelchair accessability. They also share space with Empanada Harry's Bakery. I want some good guava pastries next time! read more

Mouthwatering surprises await you at this Mom&Pop restaurant out in West Kendall. There were so many things we wanted to order on the menu that we vowed to return to try all of them. Everything was delicious, falling off the bone flavorful. The cornbread was out of this world! The smoked flan yummy. The service was good and the ambiance was great. Loved reading all the signs. We got there at the perfect time, because it got packed afterward. Everyone had happy bellies read more

I came here for the first time after I saw a recommendation on Infatuation Miami. I came with two friends. We decided to try the Miami Spice deal. It was $35 per person for an appetizer, entree and dessert. Two of us ordered the Arepitas con lechon and the other ordered the smoked croquettes. The Arepitas were my favorite part of the meal! They were so delicious! I could have eaten ten of them! I tried half of one croquette, and they were really good too. Lots of flavor, crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. For our entrees, I ordered the rib combo, one friend ordered the Triple Play, and the other ordered the Tamal en Cazuela (corn casserole with pork belly). I think the Triple play is the best deal, but I don't like sausage. I loved my rib combo. The coleslaw was really good! Some of the best I've ever had! The fries are ok. Not my favorite type of fries, but they were good. The rib meat was falling off of the bone. The bbq sauce is really yummy. All three of us had leftovers. No one finished half of their meal. We all ordered the Tres Leches as our dessert. We had them to go, since we were too full to eat them. They come with a meringue on top. I tried it later at home and it was too sweet for my taste. It was like eating straight sugar. Not for me. I would try the flan next time. They automatically add a 20% gratuity to the check. Altogether our bills were $44+ each. One friend ordered an ice tea and her check was $51+. The waitresses were SUPER nice! We loved the service! The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. But it's a little small. I can see how they easily get on a wait. If I wasn't going on a weekday for lunch, I'd probably get my food to go. If you like BBQ, I highly recommend trying this place. I'd love to go back again. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this strip mall restaurant in Western Kendall. The menu creativity and interior decor stood out. The beer and wine selection was just right. Brisket mole and pulled pork mofongo were impressive. The smoked flan stole my heart. The texture, consistency and flavor reminded me of my Mom's version but with a unique "smoked" touch. Staff is young, charismatic and happy to be working here. read more

Smoke & Dough... I Went Looking for BBQ... and Found One of the Best Pastrami Sandwiches in South Florida Back in my day, going out for BBQ wasn't something you did every weekend. It was a special occasion. If you grew up in Miami, you probably remember The New Hickory on Coral Way. Then there was Uncle Tom's on 8th Street. Great food... but let's be honest... everybody was just a little nervous eating there because it was right next to the cemetery. You'd be halfway through your ribs thinking... "¿Tú crees que ese ruido vino del parking... o del cementerio? Later on we graduated to Luther's on Bird Road and 117th Avenue, and of course, Shorty's, the undisputed king that's been feeding hungry Miamians for generations. These days it seems like a new BBQ place opens every other week in South Florida. I recently tried one of the newer spots in South Miami... except when we got there they were out of half the menu. Nothing kills your BBQ excitement faster than hearing, "Sorry... we're out of brisket." That's like walking into Versailles and hearing they're out of croquetas. So when our friends Ana and Henry invited Betty and me to Smoke & Dough in Kendall, I was ready to get my BBQ on. We walked into this unassuming strip mall, I grabbed the menu, ready to order ribs or brisket... ...and then I saw it. The Pastrami Sandwich. Now THAT got my attention. Finding a really good pastrami sandwich down here isn't easy. Roasters 'N Toasters has a very good one. Lox of Bagels (what many of us still call Lox of Lox) makes a solid one too. But this one... This one beat them both by a mile. The meat was warm, juicy, incredibly flavorful, the cheese perfectly melted, the Thousand Island dressing was just the right amount, and the bread held everything together without falling apart after the second bite... a miracle in itself. And it wasn't one of those fancy little sandwiches you need a magnifying glass to find on the plate. This thing was substantial. I shared it with my wife... ...and I was full. ¡Y yo soy tremendo comelón! Our friends ordered the brisket empanadas, a quiche, and brisket sandwiches that looked absolutely outstanding. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked like somebody back there really cared about what they were serving. The atmosphere surprised me. Instead of feeling like an old-school BBQ joint with picnic tables and sauce bottles everywhere, it feels more like a cozy neighborhood bistro that just happens to know its way around a smoker. Comfortable, relaxed, and the kind of place where nobody is rushing you out the door because another party is waiting. They also have what looked like an excellent selection of wines and craft beers, which gives the place a slightly elevated feel without being pretentious. Now... everybody has been telling me about their famous **Smoked Flan Apparently it's slowly cooked on the barbecue pit for about five hours, giving the creamy custard and caramel a subtle smoky flavor. Believe me... I wanted to try it. But after that pastrami... Game over. There wasn't enough room left. The owners came over, introduced themselves, shared a little of the history behind Smoke & Dough, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Those little moments still matter. You leave feeling like they appreciate your business instead of treating you like the next number in line. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Good food. Great company. Friendly owners. A relaxed atmosphere where you actually want to stay awhile. After our last dining experience at another restaurant where we practically felt like they were timing us with a stopwatch, this was a refreshing change. Will I be back? Absolutely. Not just for the BBQ... I'm coming back to see if that smoked flan lives up to the hype. And maybe... Just maybe... I'll order ,another pastrami sandwich. read more

Smoke & Dough is a family-owned BBQ spot, and you feel that from the second you walk in. Michelle, one of the owners, greets you with genuine warmth, and Harry -- the head chef and co-owner -- actually comes out of the kitchen to check on guests and make sure everyone is enjoying the food. That kind of hospitality is rare and makes the experience feel personal from start to finish. The food is outstanding. The dino ribs are the absolute star -- massive, tender, and bursting with smoky flavor. Pair them with the mofongo, which is mind-blowing and not something you'll find at most BBQ restaurants, and you've got a combination that's truly unforgettable. The sides are just as impressive: creamy mac and cheese, sweet cornbread, and tangy pickled veggies that round everything out. Portions are generous, so you always leave full and happy. The vibe is laid-back but polished, with the kind of consistency that keeps you coming back. Service can run a little slow when it's busy, but honestly, the food is worth every minute of the wait. Between Michelle's warm welcome, Harry's personal attention, and standout dishes like the dino ribs and mofongo, Smoke & Dough is easily one of Miami's best BBQ spots. 5 stars without question -- and a place I'll keep coming back to. read more

Incredible place!!! The service was courteous and prompt!!! The food was amazing! The empanadas, the truffle mac, the duck Mofongo and the ribs were all to die for!!! Highly recommend this place. read more

RESTAURANT: Located within a shopping center, the restaurant did not look much from the outside, but inside, they really did a good job staying true to the bbq aesthetic. Love the giant bbq sign, the wood barn door and furniture and the variety of pig statues and figurines. Then, on the other side is a completely different restaurant, and empanada restaurant. FOOD: Right on the entrance is a huge bar, stocked with local beer, wines and bottled teas. We started with the arancini balls. Never had those before and they were delicious. For the entrees, we got the ribs and brisket with the slaw and corn bread. The sides were delicious. The brisket and ribs were both smokey and tender. Not the best flavor I had but not bad at all. I wanted some arepa and empanada too but I was saving room for dessert. So we had the smoked flan which looked promising but really did not hit. Texture was good but the smokey flavor initially was too strong but as soon as that dies down it was not followed by party in my mouth that typically happens with Filipino flans. I preferred their smoked cheesecake. SERVICE: Service was good. We dined after lunch and so it was slow and I believe that one of the owner was our server, cashier, everything. She answered our questions, made suggestions and told us a little bit about the restaurant and how they got started. Food arrived swiftly. Overall, our experience was good. Price point is on the high side as expected when working with bbq type meats. Will definitely come again to try the "dough" side. read more

Quickly becoming one of our go-to BBQ spots. Pricing is great, food is consistently good, excellent service, and great, casual ambiance. Legit some of the best cornbread I've ever had in my life. Absolutely love this spot. 10000/10. read more

When is this place ever open every time i go it's closed.At first it was good but the quality has gone down a lot .

I've been wanting to try this place out for a long time. We were greeted and sat down right away. It was a small little restaurant, but with real cute decor. They have an extensive menu of fusion bbq. We had the burnt ends empanadas (delicious), bacon jam sliders (phenomenal), bbq tater tots (don't skip out on this, they were insanely good), waffles y más (pretty plain but the waffle was very good), and lastly a trio platter that brought a little bit of everything. The sausages had a Smokey flavor that gave us stomach aches, not sure why but I don't recommend it. Overall, everything was delicious and I reccomend if you're trying to find some reasonable priced bbq. read more

Another fantastic visit to smoke and dough last night. Got lucky and they had a Dono Rib special- honestly, only adding this review to share photos. The service and ambiance were great as always. By the way, their honey butter is one of the most amazing things I've ever tasted. read more

I've been wanting to try smoke and dough for a while and I'm so glad we finally did. The restaurant is kind of on the small side, so if it's crowded expect a wait time. I'm not sure if they offer reservations but I'd make one if possible. For an appetizer we ordered the pastrami tequenos and I have to say these were the best tequenos I've ever had. I want to go back just for the tequenos. For my entree, I ordered the burger. The burger was really good and came with a special sauce. I can't wait to visit again! read more

Came to Smoke and Dough for take out, to take food to work for lunch for my upcoming double shift. Ordered the brisket of course with a side of truffle Mac and cheese and I also order the Tostones con lechón. The Brisket, excellent, perfectly smoked, melts in your mouth I think the addition of the chimichurri sauce was good but I thought I should have been given some house made bbq sauce to have with it. The Truffle Mac and Cheese was ok, it had some bacon bits for some additional flavor, I think that with some additional cheese blends added on to it would have been a wow. The totosnes con lechón was very good. Lechón perfectly cooked as well, very tender along with the totones, the sauce and the pickled onions made it with wholesome goodness. Some hot sauce would have been great. Beautiful design of the establishment lots of artistic things in there. Very clean nice atmosphere. The service was good but I thought they should have given me some hot sauce and house made bbq sauce to go along with the food. Will try again along with other things on the menu. read more

Minus 1 star for almost cold food. 5 minutes after being served my food was cold. """ Not a cheap place to eat..""" First time here. In on a Thursday at 5 for dinner. NO SWEET TEA!!! It goes along with BBQ in the south. No sauce on the tables. Server brought small cups of sauce. Told the server "please tell the kitchen NO cold food". ORDERED: Meat Quattero (supposed to feed 3) $56.00 1/2 lb of brisket. Good 1/2lb of pulled pork. OK but needed sauce. 1 Sausage link. Over cooked. Very hard on the outside. 1/2 rack Baby Back Ribs. Being covered in sauce, you can't taste the quality of the ribs. Just the sauce. Honey Cornbread. $9 Very Good but not worth the price.. TOOOOO FAR FROM HOME TO GO BACK... read more

As far as authentic slow smoked BBQ goes, this place is among the best in Miami. Do note however, that Miami is honestly not a great place for BBQ, I like to joke that we are too far south for southern BBQ. We enjoy the smoked platter very much, especially the ribs and the brisket. Very tender with the right amount of fat to make them succulent. The yuca fries came out way too hard and dry though. The place has a nice set up and staff is very friendly, so overall a great experience. However, it's a bit overpriced for the food, compared to BBQs in the real south. It's a place I will come back to but probably not as often as I'd like. read more

I will do my best not to misjudge or be unfair. I went there with high expectations since they were in the WSJ top 50 restaurants in the nation. I did my best effort to find a reason for that. At the best I found them just an average place. Staff was nice, kind and fast. Fries and calamari was salty. Ribs tasted good and pastrami sandwich was generous and delicious. The best dish was the dessert. The brownie with ice cream was very good. Did not make my top 30 in Miami. Apologize read more

This place is RIDICULOUS!!! I wish I had two stomachs because I honestly wanted to eat more and more and more.. there was not a single thing that we ordered that was not absolutely, finger licking fantastic! Perfectly balanced in flavor, each plate was savory, flavorful, home-made, and unique. From the smoked ham croquetas preparadas and perfect fries, to the pulled pork tostones (not pictured), to the pulled pork nachos - holy YES , to the brisket, we as a family are all fans and already can't wait to come back!! Not pictured were the desserts we ordered. We were stuffed but couldn't leave without trying a least a bite of them. Needless to say, the kids ate all their dessert, I was able to savor my bite and take the rest of my flan home to be enjoyed again later!! We tried the smoked vanilla ice cream and brownie.. The brownie is oversized, creamy and perfectly balanced for the smokiness of the ice cream. The ice cream alone should be its own category.. it's unreal and sooooo unique. The Dulce leche and banana empanada was rich, smooth, not overpoweringly sweet, and crunchy. The smoky flan is one of the best flans in texture and flavor I've ever had. I honestly have nothing critical to say other than bring your appetite cause you're gonna over-stuff yourself- GUARANTEED!!!i read more

Small but tasty BBQ spot! Stopped in on a Thursday for a late lunch and it just so happens Thursdays they have all day happy hour!! We ordered the full rack of Ribs and the pastrami sandwich and for the sides had fries, baked beans and ranch coleslaw as well as their amazing corn with cinnamon butter. The food had amazing authentic bbq flavor. The ribs fall right off the bone and if you're a fan of sweet zesty bbq sauce you'll the guava bbq. The fries were crispy outside soft inside and the beans had plenty of meat and amazing flavor, so far fave beans of any BBQ beans I've tried. The coleslaw was also good a bit sweet for me but for those who favor the sweeter versions of coleslaw I think you'll enjoy this ranch version they make. And now for the cornbread, this is by far the best cornbread I've had... a definite must have. We will definitely be back to try other daily specials as we were told the menu varies each day a bit! And let's not forget the service... our server was not only super friendly but also very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu items. If you're in the area definitely give them a try and for those not in the area I think you'll find that it's worth the trip, just check out their daily specials so that you visit on a day that you can enjoy whatever you want to try! read more

Looking for a Dee-licious pulled pork sandwich? This is just the place!! Found Smoke & Dough while searching on Yelp on the quest to find a delectable pulled pork sandwich in Kendall (which I lowkey feel is hard to come by) and decided to try it out. We unknowingly walked in during their Sunday brunch special but arrived at the perfect time. We quickly realized this place was a fan favorite as a line started spilling out the door. Since we were only a table of two we were seated relatively quickly considering the rush. The interior is well decorated and gives cute modern cracker-barrel vibes; It felt very homey and intimate. My pulled pork sandwich was by far one of the best I've had in South FL if not THE best. I tried some of my bf's brisket which had great flavor and was very tender. I was pleasantly surprised by their guava bbq as I'm not a fan of guava at all but it had a great sweetness that wasn't too much. I'm glad we stumbled upon this place while scrolling on Yelp, it truly exceeded my expectations. The only thing I didn't care for was their cornbread. The corn bread was a bit too greasy and dense even without the butter. I prefer a fluffier and moist cornbread. Overall, I can see myself coming to smoke & dough again and would put my friends & family onto it too. read more

Came for dinner last Saturday night for the first time. I recommend you make reservations as the place is small and gets busy. The decor is cute and the restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. We ordered the brisket with coleslaw and the cornbread as sides. The food was delicious. The brisket was flavorful and really good. The coleslaw was fresh and was also very good and the cornbread was amazing! A must try!

Been in Miami 20 years, and I've finally found a BBQ spot that has me feeling like I'm back at a North Carolina summer BBQ festival. I used to visit my grandma in her small NC town, where the BBQ is sacred. Between the local joints and the annual BBQ festival, it set a very high bar. This place? The closest I've found in Miami by far. The burnt ends empanadas were unreal good. The pork belly brisket was delicious. And the cornbread? Chef's kiss. Not too sweet, very moist, and with chunks of corn. The slaw and potato salad were tasty, though what I'd consider non traditional. Pulled pork was solid, just not Sunday-best level. Still dreaming of fried okra, collards with fat back, and banana pudding like my Grandma used to make, but until I find that here, this spot's top of my list. I'd honestly give it a 4.5 if I could. It's not quite a 5 for me but it is higher than a 4. read more

Had an amazing Father's Day meal with our family. I've been plenty but all my parents and brother's family all left blown away! Great food and service, Harry & Michelle really do you make you feel welcome as if you were at a true family run establishment. Server, Patty was very attentive and offered up great suggestions for a larger group (not typical on a busy holiday). I had the Mofongo (now available on Sundays as well) and the rest of us shared and picked from larger plates or tapas. Truly something for everyone (including kids) Been going for years and can say the upmost quality has been maintained throughout. Highly recommend. read more

Have been hearing about this place for a while. Started with nachos which were amazing. Would go back just for that. Mofongo was very tasty. Pastrami sandwich delicious. Would say the rest was just good. Yuca bravas, choripan, pulled pork sandwich. Cornbread was good but super sweet so was more of a dessert. All very filling. Was kind of sticky and humid inside. (I'd give 3.5/5 but included my family's rating overall) read more

Miami is often chastised for being a "Southern city" without many BBQ options, let alone a unique BBQ style. There are several institutions that have tried to change this perception, with Smoke and Dough being one of the latest ones to do so. This BBQ restaurant located deep in West Kendall is the brainchild of 2 proud husband and wife FIU Alumni who are adding a distinctive Miami style to smoked BBQ. Think Pastrami Tequeños, Cafecito rubbed Brisket, Guava BBQ sauce, and more! We made the trek on a Saturday afternoon without a reservation. We did have to wait about half an hour for a table and were starving, but everything was so worth it! All of the servers were extremely welcoming and had awesome recommendations! We even noticed the owners/head chefs of the restaurant helping out in the front desk, helping to clear out tables when needed, and talking to patrons about their dishes. They clearly take passion in their business and stay involved in the day-to-day nuances of running it. Upon sitting down and getting a wonderful beer recommendation (Tank Brewing Freedom Tower), we ordered the following items: - DUCK LUNCHABLE ($16): SMOKED DUCK BREAST, SMOKED MOZZARELLA, BLUE CHEESE OLIVES, HERB OIL CROSTINI - PASTRAMI TEQUEÑOS ($12): 4 SMOKED PASTRAMI, WHITE CHEESE, GARLIC AIOLI - 1/2 LB CAFECITO RUBBED BRISKET ($18) - BUILD YOUR OWN MOFONGO: PASTRAMI MOFONGO ($28) I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the Pastrami Tequeños are a must order appetizer. The addition of smoked Pastrami is a tasty way to give this classic Hispanic bakery dish a meaty and BBQ twist. The garlic aioli dipping sauce was divine, but the tequeños themselves were so flavor packed that I wouldn't be surprised if one devoured them all without even touching the sauce. The Duck Lunchable was an interesting take on using duck breast in an appetizer. I would definitely describe the dish as an elevated Lunchable-- bringing back many fond memories from when I was a kid! The daily special for Saturday was the build your own Mofongo! As someone who hadn't had Mofongo up to that point, this was a real treat! The way it works is you get to select your own Mofongo base (Traditional Green Plantains, Fried Yuca, and Trifongo), followed by your choice of primary protein (Brisket, Pulled Pork, Pork Belly, Duck, and Pastrami). All Mofongos come mixed with Smoked Pork Belly, Garlic, Broth, Butter, and Spices, and served on a Wooden Pilon. I chose to have mine with Fried Yuca and Pastrami-- such a unique combination and delicious combination! My fiancée and I were able to comfortably split this Mofongo with one another. Her order of the 1/2 LB of Cafecito Rubbed Brisket was so juicy and tender! This is probably the best piece of brisket we've had in Miami to date! We capped off our late lunch with a Cuatro Leches. I believe Smoke and Dough's version was infused either with Bourbon or with Rum, and the meringue on top was lightly toasted. Both of these small touches really enhanced this traditional dessert offering! Overall, I can see why Smoke and Dough made the New York Times' list of Top 50 US Restaurants for 2023. Continue making Miami proud and helping bring Miami style BBQ to the forefront! Every dish served here will take you on a wonderful flavor journey and have you realizing that you've never had BBQ like THIS before! And always remember, #PawsUp ! FIU Alumni are doing big things! read more

Smoke and Dough - Brisket, ribs, pork belly and corn bread - Barbeque Near Me - Miami, Florida

Came here on a Saturday night after being recommended this place by a coworker. I took my sister and we both came with the intention of getting some good barbecue, but ended up in a completely different direction! Lol The wait was long but not that bad. Maybe like 30/45 minutes. The place was pretty busy and we didn't think to make any reservations so it was no problem. To start we ordered the arancini balls and the smoked ham croquetas. The arancini balls were good but the croquetas were better. I felt like you could really taste the smoked ham flavor in it. We were deciding on bbq for our entree when the server let us know on Saturdays they have Mofongo available.... And that's what we ended up getting! I got the pork belly and my sister got the pulled pork. When the mofongo arrived, it was presented in this big cup. At first you may look at it and think it's not a lot but don't let the cup deceive you. The cup is filled, PACKED, all the way to the bottom. I ended up dumping all the contents from the cup onto a plate and it was piled high!! The Mofongo was excellent and I think I liked my sister's more, the pulled pork. We also ordered the honey cornbread to share and omg. That was delicious. We were fighting over it and when we were full and said we couldn't eat anymore.... We still went and picked at the cornbread. I think that is a must if you come here! Overall, the food was awesome. I would come back and certainly have to, to try a bbq entree! read more

This place may have the best barbecue I've had in Miami. We tried their pork belly, croquetas, brisket, ribs, truffle mac and cheese, and smoked flan.

I would definitely return to this establishment. read more

We were very excited to try Smoke and Dough as we are big fans of Empanada Harry's. To start, they were out of ribs for the night, so we elected to get double brisket in the meat Quattro instead. Unfortunately, the brisket was very dry and extremely fatty. The sausage was really good, and the bit of pork I tried was also good. The brisket empanadas were excellent and the Mac and cheese and salt and vinegar fries were also very delicious. Most surprisingly, my favorite thing we had was the corn bread with the cinnamon butter...this was the standout for us! The service was great and the restaurant is small, but cozy (though we elected to eat as takeout). I would definitely try it again, hopefully they'll have ribs the next time we can stop in! read more

Smoke and Dough - Meat Quattro Mac and Cheese Brisket Empanada Salt and Vinegar Fries Corn Bread - Barbeque Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place has been on mine and my mom's list of places to try for a while . We were very excited to be able to go for brunch today and thought it was great that we were able to get a reservation just an hour before . However there were some pros and cons . Pros- the waffle was perfectly cooked and I enjoyed the brown butter on top , the cornbread was a hit (thought we would have preferred the butter on the side) the cornbread bread itself was not too sweet and reminded us of a type of Dominican corn cake that we make , since we went for brunch we were able to try the brunch mofongo which we had never seen before along with the parchita brunch cocktail which reminded me of fresh passion fruit juice with a kick. Cons--I am not sure if it was because we were sitting in a back room or because of the unbearable Miami heat but the restaurant was uncomfortable warm, my mother who is always cold also felt super warm as well which was made for a less than ideal experience, though our drinks were good my mom who got a cream soda was confused by it being bottled because she thought since they were craft sodas and had such a detailed description they were made in house (we may have read the menu wrong ) none the less it was good, as I mentioned above the parchita cocktail was good but I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get my drink until after all the food had come out and we were about a quarter through our meal. got the waffle y mas breakfast which was good and was glad I was able to upgrade to the brown butter waffle but was a bit disappointed to see that the upgrade was just the same butter as the cornbread for an additional $3, I thought the brown butter would be mixed in to the batter , the last issue was the mofongo after reading the menu again we realized that they mixed the caldo in to the mofongo which made it soggy and more of a mangu consistency. I suggest they serve it on the side for a more authentic consistency.All and all we would still go back for the cornbread (butter on the side ) and to try a few new menu items albeit probably not in the summer . read more

Great food and service. Highly recommend the brisket, which was soft and expertly done. The sides we loved included the Truffle Mac and the Cornbread. Lots of beers to choose from. The atmosphere was nice- casual but modern. read more

Smoke and Dough - Brisket and Pulled Pork - Barbeque Near Me - Miami, Florida

Tried Smoke and Dough with a group of friends. Coincidentally we were all in the mood for BBQ. Given the great reviews and appealing menu, we decided to check it out. This restaurant is nestled in a shopping center in West Kendall. Parking is not challenging. Ambiance: The restaurant is small and gets crowded so reservations are recommended. The music is slightly loud though, which I am not a fan in any restaurant. Food: Our group decided to order the Smokehouse platter with a side of full rack ribs and nachos. The pulled pork and Cheddar sausages were good, however, the prime brisket was disappointing with us feeling just okay about it as it had no real flavor; and we did not care for the baked beans at all. The baked beans were way too sweet. The cole slaw was too tangy; we prefer a sweeter flavor slaw. The mac and cheese with bacon wasn't bad. The ribs were just ok and the guava bbq sauces over powers the rib flavor in my opinion. The cornbread and sausage were our favorites out of everything on that Smokehouse Platter. Personally, I feel this place is over priced and we were a bit disappointed with our overall meal as it wasn't very memorable for us to return. Also, the small plates that were given to us were just awful to make a nice dining experience pleasant. I am hoping the waitress just forgot to give us bigger plates. Service: We have very good service. Our table had 20% gratuity included. read more
