(Review of brisket only) This was a no for me. I came to try out the brisket since the reviews say it's decent, but from my experience I'll pass. Traveling to Kansas City and experiencing the different taste of brisket I kind of knew what to look for. First, The "brisket" wasn't giving brisket, more like a bottom round cut meat that's being smoke. Second, the meat was dry, so the sauce was a must. Lastly, the guy was a bit rude, not welcoming. Again try at your discretion, but I know good food and this ain't it! read more

There isn't much else to say when it comes to truly remarkable BBQ. The buzz around town--from people in the parking lot to patrons waiting in line--tells you everything you need to know: it's the real deal in this bbq truck. He's been at this spot for well over nine years and proudly claims he'll never go anywhere else. My husband and I, hungry as we were, didn't even wait to get home before sharing a combo of ribs and brisket in the car--and let me tell you, it was every bit as delicious as everyone says. Glad to have found this bbq gem. read more

Smokey Trails BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Miami, Florida

Solid BBQ. Slab of ribs- perfectly cooked, had a delicious sweet glaze, and no fat. Brisket was tender and smokey. Chicken was moist and delicious. Baked beans and mac n cheese- perfection. My only complaint is we did an Uber Eats order and the menu didn't include cole slaw or collard greens. I called the restaurant and the owner told me they were out of greens but to order the macaroni salad and leave a note on the order to substitute Cole slaw, which I did for four sides of Cole slaw. I even texted the owner to make sure he knew and he replied. That said, I wound up with four macaroni salads and no Cole slaw. Despite this glitch, the place is a winner. We will be back. read more

one of the best og bbq spots to go food was amazing. chicken just falls off the bone. great service as always from the pit master

best BBQ I've had in a while. Great services as well and overall a good time with great food!

This is authentic and really good. The homemade sauce makes it all come together, but beware of the cry sauce!

My name is Rafael. I love eating barbecue. I eat barbecue all over the state across the country and I look for different places to eat barbecue. I've gotten to the point that I just make my own barbecue because no one has satisfied me until I went over here to Smoky trails and let me tell you something His ribs is chicken. His brisket was on point tender and fresh I can guarantee you you are not gonna be disappointed by the food there I only had the ribs, chicken and brisket. I'm sure everything else is off the hook. I did try a little bit of the mustard barbecue sauce and now I am a fan of that I will be over there this weekend to purchase more barbecue. read more

The food here is ridiculously good. The brisket is so tender and flavorful. The baked beans and coleslaw were great. Not overpowering, just a nice addition. The portions are HUGE. It's 100% worth the money. The only down side is I went around 5pm and there was no Mac salad or Mac and cheese. Aside from that, this place is a 10/10. The owner is very attentive and accommodation. Def will become a regular. read more

Smokey Trails BBQ - Ribs, brisket, coleslaw, baked beans - Barbeque Near Me - Miami, Florida

Food is delicious and tasty pretty good variety and sides to choose from would recommend!

I have never ever in my life experienced something like this. I ordered from here on UberEats. The Uber driver calls me and I hear a man YELLING in the background telling him to leave and that he won't give him my food. I tried to reach out to the restaurant directly. The same man picks up, yells at me as if I did something wrong, and then HANGS UP! Completely unprofessional. This kind of behavior is unheard of. I don't know what the dispute with the Uber driver is about but absolutely no need to take it out on the paying customer. So rude. You should not be in the service industry. read more

The ribs are huge, a half a rack can feed 2, and.... The food taste delicious! Highly recommend it. read more

Best BBQ in town no questions about it, highly recommend it five stars all the way. P read more

Smokey Trails BBQ - Outside - Barbeque Near Me - Miami, Florida

Just rude...I went this past Sunday and I parked next to the truck that the stand was near I got my purse and proceeded to exit my car. Very rudely a man standing outside the tables rudely said you need to park in a parking spot that was behind the truck I'm looking like there's literally no one here. By the time I was going to tell him that I would probably be gone by the time anyone got there he had rudely turned his back to me and did not acknowledge that I was going to say something. I politely got back in my car and left. As rude as he was I will never go there again. Customer service is everything, it's not what you say, but how you say it... read more

Absolutely the best bbq chicken. Fantastic brisket and great ribs. Love the Carolina bbq sauce. Oh and my favorite beans!!! Most importantly. He is the nice, honest, and hard working. Feels really good to support and independent business man. You have to try it. read more

Award winning brisket bbq for sure!!!! The Mac and cheese was great. Wish we could come back from North Carolina!!! Flavors on top of flavors!! Oliver ( North Carolina) read more

The BBQ was great and very friendly service. I will definitely swing back through next time I'm in the area

Coming from Texas and being stuck in quarantine with shows like Tiger King and Ozark made me really crave bbq. I was skeptical at first, since Florida was never known for its bbq. I picked a place with good reviews that also delivered and landed on Smokey Trails. I ordered the 3 meat combo (ribs brisket and sausage) with a side of slaw and tater salad. The thing that bumped them to a 5 star was the portion and the ribs. The sides were standard. The sausages and brisket were good, enough fatty vs. lean parts, nicely seasoned, and there was enough of everything for 2 meals. There was enough sausage for 3 meals actually. Now onto the ribs. I've had a lot of great ribs across Texas, and these ribs were very nicely smoked and then broiled. The smokiness with a sweet herbal flavor was fully soaked and intertwined with every inch of the meat. It had a nice crunchy outer crust with just a good touch of bbq glaze. The ribs were so good I finished all of them the first round. Overall, would love to have those ribs again any time! read more

Mr G. Is exactly that. First time customer and can't rave enough about not only the food but the attention to detail this man puts into his craft. He takes his time to guide you through the menu and how he prepares the items served. Going back today haha read more

This is BBQ place is incredible! I have been coming here every week or every other week for a few months, I got a job near by and my employer said it was a great place, possibly the best bbq in the area. I think he's only around on Thursday or Friday, but just makes me look forward to Friday even more. The meat is so tender, if you go a little later for lunch there's no line so it's easy. It's just in the parking lot off exit 10A at the Bravo super market. Only place I know that hands out gloves - that's how you know they got the sauce! read more

Smokey Trails BBQ - This is the brisket sandwich, with sweet bbq sauce. - Barbeque Near Me - Miami, Florida

Wasn't sure I was at the right location based on GPS but it was tucked in the corner and the menu was pretty straight forward. I ordered a slab of ribs and whole chicken for family and friends. The owner asked what sauce I wanted and I personally wasn't sure and simply wanted the sauce in small plastics containers, and my request was simply ignored and he insisted on wanting to know what sauce and he simply just squirted the sauce in the container on the side. Nonetheless the ribs and chicken were great the chicken was truly one of the best smoke chickens I have ever had. I would have given a 5 star review but the owners customer service skills are lacking. Being that I have never visited or tasted his sauce or food it would have been helpful to know before forcing my hand to choose a sauce when it was for not just me and for a group. Will I return? yes his food is great. I would suggest offering small samples of your sauce or simply charge for sauce on the side. Nonetheless he is craftsman with his smoking skills! read more

Visited here today for the first time and was pleasantly surprised with how good the BBQ is and how reasonable the prices are. I was the only customer at 12:15pm on a Friday. They had a ton of smoked food available including chicken, sausage, ribs, brisket to name a few. Opted for the 2 mean combo and got ribs and brisket. My total was less than $28 and there was easily more than enough ribs and brisket for two meals and I'm pretty good at eating BBQ. There was plenty of parking in the lot that the food truck/smoker is located in. They take credit cards and have plastic ware and plenty of napkins. I tried the mustard sauce on the ribs and sweet heat sauce on the brisket and couldn't pick one that I liked more - they were both excellent and the sweet heat was plenty hot. I didn't try any sides this visit, but I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Seriously good - and quick - BBQ! read more

Work close by this area and was in the mood for BBQ. I gave this place a try because it had excellent ratings. When I got there it wasn't busy at all I came up and there was a gentleman sitting there I believe he was the owner? I'm not sure anyways, he didn't really acknowledge me. He just got up and said something to me but was hard to hear him with the generator. I asked where do I order? He was rude being my first time there I wasn't sure how it work as far as ordering. He pointed to a menu so I told him I was going to order 3 meals still with an attitude and again I couldn't hear him seems like he didn't even want to be there. Anyways he bagged my stuff and I paid. The food wasn't what I expected I had the rib combo with sweet bbq sauce no flavor to the ribs but you can taste the smoke just not what I expected in BBQ ribs. So not only the customer service wasn't great but the food wasn't great either. read more

I was in the neighborhood and decided to give this food truck a shot. I was talking with the "cook" and he was a delight. Funny, charismatic, friendly and very inviting. His customer service skills are exceptional. When the other person came out off the truck "I'm assuming he was the owner or manager" he didn't say anything other than keep your distance while using a nasty tone. I respectfully backed off but his demeanor was one of a rude and sour person. When I gave my card to pay for the meal the rude person used the card and threw it aside once he was done swiping it. The "cook" retrieved the card and thanked us for our patronage. The food was good and the gentlemen who attended me was polite and funny however the other person was a total douche. It's a shame because I love to give back to small businesses but truthfully I'd rather go elsewhere until this "gentlemen" improves his manners. In response to Gregory's comment: I understand the 6 foot social distancing and I immediately complied to your request. I spoke to you with respect and I expected the same. I was not standing close to you but I did respect your wishes. However the manner in which you expressed yourself and the attitude you gave me afterwards was not warranted. Perhaps you should try and treat your customers with the same respect they give you. read more

Delicious!! Price is fair and you get a lot for your money! Not a small plate of food. Pork ribs, brisket, and bbq sauce were delicious. Will definitely be back!! read more

We called Mr. G. around noon with a very large order for the same day, and we are VERY glad we got him. He was able to complete about 40 lbs of absolutely delicious BBQ (chicken, brisket, pulled pork, ribs, several sides ... everything) for a very hungry college swim team. It made our night, and we would certainly recommend Smoky Trails BBQ to anyone looking for great food that will make you happy. Thank you Mr. G! Oberlin College Swimming and Diving read more

My last day in Miami was spent looking for this truck so I can try their delicious smoked ribs. It was a bit tricky to find a first because it was in a shady looking parking lot and I didnt know it was a food truck. You can smell this food truck from a mile away and it smells heavenly. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and bbq ribs. The sandwich was amazing. My only thing was if they put it on a different bun. The bun was a bit thin so the sauce from the pulled pork made the bread soggy quicker. However, the ribs is what won me over. This is the BEST smoked ribs I have ever had in MY LIFE. I have never had bbq ribs that is soooo smokey and flavorful on the first bite. Sooo good that I had to lick the sauce off my fingers (jk.) They need a chain restaurant because Im pretty upset that its only a food truck in Miami and I can not get it anywhere else. Hands down a MUST TRY. The smokey flavor is out of this world and you can tell the man that owns the truck knows what he is doing. read more

I ordered takeout on a Friday night and I was not pleased to say the least. I got the two meat combo and a side of macaroni and cheese. The Mac and cheese was definitely store bought and out of the freezer. You can tell just by looking at it and the taste was even worse. I took one bite and threw it away. The pork ribs were basically just bones, meat here and there. Not worth biting into and chipping a tooth. The brisket however was very good. Kudos to whoever got that right. Overall, I won't be trying this restaurant again. read more

Legitimate smoked meats & poultry! Easy going Pitmaster with a top notch Smoker-Truck. Wide variety of products and extremely well organized. Arrived at 12:30 and was the first to be served. Ordered a variety of ribs, brisket, whole chicken & chicken wings, with side orders of Beans/slaw & Mac (three delicious sauces were included) for my office. I was well taken care of and my crew at the office all enjoyed! Will return for sure...... read more

Not only they serve good food, they are nice people too. We came late and they are about to go home but they still accommodated us. Another reason why we support local businesses. They take pride in taking care of their customers. Highly recommended. Best brisket ever!!!! read more

four stars for friendly service and the potato salad , which was delicious!! also, i had the cry sauce.. good flavor; quite a kick up front but fades quickly.. well played.. i will come back to get more potato salad and try some other meats.. now, the brisket.. i am a SNOB!! i was originally only going to give three stars but i realized that was super unfair to hold an otherwise excellent bbq joint to my texas standards.. i used to argue with folks about how good brisket can be found anywhere.. that was an ignorant argument as i had not yet experienced texas bbq.. since then i've found exactly one place in this country (and i've travelled the lower 48 extensively) with texas level brisket.. sadly, this isn't it.. don't get me wrong, it was good, but my expectations are next level.. like, you can leave your dentures out because you basically don't have to chew it.. if you know, you know.. my quest continues.. read more

Yes. The food here was exactly what I was craving and some of the best bbq I've ever had. There's a lot of love in this food. Flavors hit right. Meats are well cooked. Brisket was well made and the serving sizes are right. This is a cook that knows what he's doing. This business just created a repeat customer. read more

The brisket was amazing and so was the sweet barbecue sauce. I was not a big fan of the coleslaw, otherwise I would've given it five stars. On the other hand, the brisket is worth five stars. I will definitely go back again. read more

Let me lead with: I meant to take pictures but the smell was making me crazy so I had to try. Then once I tried I couldn't stop!! Wow, what a great gift this man has for bbq. I'm a Carolina girl so I had to try the pulled pork sandwich and potato salad first. Did. Not. Disappoint. The yummy Smokey smell just makes your mouth water. To me the portion was HUGE!! I ate about a third of the meat and still have enough for a sandwich and a half, at least. I chose the sweet-hot sauce to go with it. The meat is amazing on its own but the sauce really made it pop. Outstanding stuff. The potato salad is serious business as well. Creamy without being mealy, spiced perfectly and enough good stuff in there for texture that your mouth will be happy after the first bite. My buddy got a pound of brisket to bring home with him so I got a small taste of that. Yowza, the crispy bark was the perfect friend to pair with the delicate, tender meat. So tender you could eat with a spoon. It has that yummy pink smoke ring around the edges... if you're in the area and need some good home cooking during these trying times I highly recommend Smokey Trails. read more

The man has a horrible attitude and his food honestly tastes like smoke. There are dozens of other places that offer BETTER FOOD and BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE I drove from a whole other county to come to this shaggy food truck just to be treated badly. His business looks like it's bound to fail anyways. When I got there there wasn't even a line. If you're gonna be such a miserable human being why be in this type of business? read more

WOW. What can I say about this place and Greg Got there as he was packing up (9PM or so) and he greeted me like I was his first client. Bought everything he had left (ribs, pulled pork) and he gave me Brisket for free By far the best BBQ in Miami and you cannot ask for a nicer guy than Greg. Definitely coming back read more
