Big Mama's BBQ

Ordered delivery: ribs, fried chicken and corn bread.The ribs were tender and full of flavor the french fries divine. Rest of the order was not as good, chicken was over fried w not much taste and heavy breading, corn bread was dry. Would give it another try but at their location and see if the visit will improve the experience.

One order of fries was missing. Chicken was flavorless and gross looking. Waffles are soggy eggo things that are like wet bread. Fries were ok just stale. All beef hot dog was just like what you'd buy at a supermarket and boil I guess. They also put sauce on everything when I asked for it on the side when I called complain I got a rude attitude saying sauce on the side doesnt mean not on the item? Tried to blame the delivery driver and was just rude.

*** Big Mama’s BBQ **** Colorful place, parking could be challenging. Clean spot, very good service. Lots of open space. THE PULLED PORK SANDWICH It was ok, enjoyable. Def will consider supporting small businesses like BMB!! FRIED CHICKEN WITH FRIES It wasn’t tender at all. Not good. The bbq sauce was interesting good. Price is fair. $$ Wanted to order dessert but they didn’t have any. 🤌🏻🤌🏻

The only reason they got one star is because of the fries and google won’t let me half a star. But this was my first timing trying this place and the food was horrible. The only good part was the fries. They gave me one ketchup packet and 1 syrup for 2 plates of dry chicken and Kellogg eggo waffles with 2 fries. This was a big turn off since it’s was my first time trying chicken and waffles. Maybe they other food is good but the chicken and waffles is a The Office Season 5 episode 9 1:50-2:00

This is a great home style bbq joint, big on flavor and can't be beat on portions. Had the 1/2 rack of ribs which were fall off the bone meaty perfection! The Georgia style sausage was good, not mind blowing, but good. Seasoned fries are excellent, and again cooked perfectly. They were out of the pulled pork, you've got to get there early before they sell out! Do not pass this place up, plenty of on street parking. Outside seating only in nice covered garden area with great music and plenty of fans for air movement. I was comfortable seated there in July, that says a lot in south Florida!

The BBQ here is 5-stars. I have been eating BBQ all my life and this is officially THE BEST BBQ IN MIAMI! All the sides are amazing too, mac an cheese, bbq beans, onion rings, everything. And they have this thing called chocolate chip cornbread that is just divine. The burger is amazing. I can't get enough. Well done Big Mama's, I will be eating there as long as you will feed me!!

The ribs were good and flavorful. I was expecting more of a smoked flavor but nevertheless the sauce was really good and the ribs were tender.

Absolutely delicious. I ordered delivery, and was so impressed. We had the ribs, coleslaw, and onion rings. The ribs were cooked to perfection and I couldn’t believe how well the onion rings traveled! The extra sauces they provided were incredibleeee, I would buy those sauces by the gallon if they sold them. New fave spot. Highly recommend!

Weird. Whatever comes to mind when you think of a Big Mama and BBQ is probably the opposite here. If you are seeking real BBQ, keep searching. This food is not authentic BBQ. There is no pit, or outdoor grill. You won't see lines of people or smell the food from a distance. This reads more like someone who thought of a cool concept and went with it, but this restaurant falls short on the delivery of the star of the show because it is inauthentic BBQ. Edible mistake? Yes. Regrets? Yes. Would we do it again? No. We happened to be in the area and hungry so we gave this a try. Firstly, the website food prices are lower than the prices listed at the restaurant. The names are catchy, but the food isn't great. The okra was good and seasoned. We wasted $12 on two pieces of cornbread that tasted terrible. The Mac n cheese was ok, but served in a small cup and floating in grease. I didn't even want to eat it, it looked sad and very odd. The fried chicken was salty and extremely dry. The burger and cheese fries were probably the best thing going and what our party enjoyed the most. If you must go, get that and nothing else. Who thinks of a burger as the best thing about a BBQ joint? Nobody. Can we get a refund? Do yourself a favor and keep looking elsewhere.

Anybody else sick of the absolute dog food we call BBQ in Miami? I mean we should be ashamed! (Yes I lived in Texas for 9 years). This was a delivery order so maybe that had a small impact. Full rack of ribs - I wouldn't call this fit for human consumption the meat tasted off. On the plus side my dog is loving them. I took one bite from three different ribs and decided to just give the rest to him. 1/10 Pulled pork - it's technically edible but very salty and dry. 3/10 Mac & cheese - was average but there was a disturbing oil slick in the bottom of the container a centimeter deep. 4/10 Baked beans - about as good as a can of Bush baked beans. 5/10 barbecue sauce - actually good better than Stubbs but it's no Head Country 7/10 The last barbecue place I roasted here - the owner Claimed to have gone through all of his receipts over the course of several months and not see my name meaning I never ordered there and was a liar. That place went bankrupt. It was much better than big mamas.

Didn't get to order since the girl working there at this exact moment was very bothered by me and my husband interrupting her text/social media post. No acknowledgement. When I said hi, she was annoyed and asked me to "give her a moment". We did. Then she looked up after sending her text, without any words of apology or any invitation to order food. Just a 'why are you here?' Look In her eyes and her vibrations pretty much said 'go to hell.' Sad bc it looked like a good menu but we just left after this interaction without ordering. She's not good for business and I'm sure Big Mama's isn't her establishment, which is why she felt so bothered by our presence in trying to order food and give her money ‍ FYI- no one else is even there eating so she's going to still be there and texting all by her lonesome. We won't be back.

I remember when this place was Cheeseburger Baby. Another great establishment that likely fell victim to a poor location. There is no parking here! Repeat: there is NO PARKING HERE! It's on the corner and the closest parking used to be a lot across the street, but it has since been bought by a neighboring business and is no longer an option. Let's get to the food; I really enjoyed my pulled pork sandwich and the fries were fresh and crispy! I will certainly return to try other items, but keep in mind, there is no parking here!

Don't bother ordering their chicken & waffles. They simply use frozen Eggo waffles (or similar). I specifically called and asked if the waffles were homemade or store bought. They said they were made there. I guess by "made", they meant heated up or microwaved. The chicken was fried well and not dry, but it is not your typical fried chicken. It had absolutely no breading or seasoning.

I kept driving by this little spot and couldn't tell if it was open or closed. Today I just decided to go for it! I kid you not... and i'm a southern gal so I know ribs... THE BEST I HAVE HAD! Perfectly smokey and sweet sauce delicately drizzled (with extra on the side of course) on the half rack I ordered. I was almost hallucinating while eating them I was in such a trance! I cannot wait to go back for lunch tomorrow to try more off the menu! The atmosphere was great - there was a local who seems to eat there multiple times a week who welcomed me and recommended that I must try the fried chicken next. My Modelo beer was cold enough to withstand the Miami heat & Luisa was not only sweet but beautiful - and damn, can she make some food! My new favorite place to eat! It is worth the drive for anyone craving some REAL barbecue!

I wanted to give this 5 stars - and it has potential to get there. We placed an order online, which wasn't received. We arrived for pick up and they were clearly cleaned up for the evening and had to pull everything out to make our order. The ribs were tasty. The fried chicken was crispy with great flavor. It was a little dry on the inside. The baked beans didn't seem cooked all the way through. The Mac and cheese was fine. Same with the cornbread. The coleslaw was from Publix. I also heavily judge a BBQ place based upon its pickles - which I saw were just Mt Olive... so maybe it's a good thing they forgot them. Perhaps it would be better / fresher if we had come earlier.

Pretty cool spot in a growing area of 79th street. My friend and I didn't have plans until later on the 4th of July and wanted to get the feel of a cookout for lunch, so we opted to check out Big Mama's. Very cool vibe with outdoor only dining. You order at the counter and then dine under a canopy outside. Great for a nice day, but could get a bit messy if the weather is bad. Very chill ambiance, with a group of people playing beer pong outside and having a hot dog eating contest on the big table. We opted for a full slab of ribs and the fried chicken (made spicy, and served with fries). The ribs were St. Louis style and while the meat wasn't quite "fall off the bone," it was very tender and offered a nice char. The sauce was a tomato based sauce that didn't pack much punch, but still certainly got the job done. The star of the meal was certainly the fried chicken. It offered a very think batter and was dusted with some mild spice. The fries were also double battered and seasoned, coming complimentary with the chicken. Lone downside was the speed of service, not the service itself. Everyone was exceptionally friendly. We called our order in on the phone and when we arrived, it was clear that there was some sort of mixup and they hadn't even started our food yet. The owner was nice enough to give my friend and I a free beer while we waited, so I am more than willing to forget about the confusion in the matter! Definitely will be running it back with the same exact order next time that I head there!

We were visiting from out of town. I wanted to try some bbq so we decided to give this place a try through ubereats. The prices are reasonable. We got the pulled pork on Kaiser rolls and chocolate chip cornbread. The pulled pork was extremely salty too much seasonings it didn't taste nothing like bbq. I couldn't finish my sandwich. The fries were okay. The cornbread was dry and hard. I also saw they had lemonade and thought it would've have been home made but nope they sent a bottle Minute Maid lemonade I was super disappointed.

This place closed down and I never got to try it, it's too bad. The location is a bit odd but I'm sure something else will come here

Big Mama's BBQ on 79th Street in Miami is a great place to go for delicious BBQ that is flavorful and well made. I like everything on the menu here and it is well worth it for some of the best BBQ in the area. The staff here is very friendly and makes sure that everything is ready when you need it.

Tastes really good, decided to give a try after been so hungry all day and glad I wasn't disappointed

This is a small location with pick up only. I don't know how long it's been there but the new paint job caught my eye a few weeks ago and I decided to stop in this evening. I'm glad I did. I ordered the pork platter which came with a significant amount of pulled pork and fries. It was reasonably priced at $12 or $14. I can't remember. But I'm full and I still have a decent amount for later. The pork had a nice smoky flavor to it and, better yet, was NOT drenched in too much sauce. The fries are well seasoned and crispy.

Food was delicious. Luisa was very polite and patient since it was our first time. We did take-out. Now I know for sure what to order the next time!!!

I drove by a couple of times and wanted to check their ribs. I have to say that they were absolutely delicious! The place is new and is located in an up-and-coming neighborhood, it does not have parking spaces, but you can park around the corner. It is a small place, with only outdoor seating on a lovely patio. Nothing fancy, but all blends with the decorations in the neighborhood. The menu offers St. Louis ribs - whole or half racks - with beans, different sandwich options come with fries (the menu does not specify it, and we ordered two additional orders), sides, and desserts. The menu is short, but all looks good. My friends ordered the burger and the Georgia sausage and were super happy with their selection too. You can order to eat there or to go. I'm not sure they do deliveries. It opens from noon until 8 pm. I loved the menu, the taste and the service. I will visit again to try something else!

First meal in Miami did not disappoint! Ordered the pulled pork platter and a salad, and both were excellent! The pulled pork was some of the best I've ever had and even the fries were amazing! The staff was super friendly and the patio was comfortable and had a really nice vibe, complete with hand washing station (especially appreciated during covid). Do yourself a favor and come eat here!

I can't believe I fell for these employee written reviews and spent $18 for 4 rib bones FULLLL of gristle w specks of meat in between! They're smoking something , alright! Do not waste your money! Highly overpriced and the ribs didn't even taste bbq'd or smoked they tasted like the premade ribs you get out of the vacuumed sealed bags at publix and put in the oven.. and it took almost an hour for it to be ready! Baked beans $6 that taste no better than Campbell's pork beans?! I'm literally livid I wasted this money you would be better off getting a plate from Presidente!

Holy fuck! The best ribs I've ever had. Melt in your mouth, filling, tasty!

The young lady that took our order... was rude and not friendly... she kept referring to me as sir... i am a 100% natural born women BTW (long hair and curves) i got the PullPork BBQ sandwich, the bread had mold on top... i was nervous to send it back because u can't see what's going on in there where they prepare the food and i didn't want them to spit or do something to my food being that she was already nasty to me and my friend. I ate my fries and threw my sandwich in the trash! Never again will i go there when i come back to Miami! I wish i could've took a pic.. my phone was dead!

I just ordered from here! And I got the big mama's burger. So good! It was delicious! Had to stop myself from finishing the whole thing lol. Will definitely order again!

The BEST BBQ ribs I've ever had. And I've had a lot of great ribs. The seasoning is just right and the result is delicious juicy ribs. Baked beans are also done right. Had their burger and it was also great. Only item I wasn't impressed with was the corn bread. Too dry and no taste. Skip it. Maybe the chocolate chip corn bread is the real deal.

I order Uber eats from this place and it never disappoints. Fall of the bone ribs, yummy fried chicken, great burgers, perfectly seasoned crispy fries... I can go on. A lot of love goes into big mama's cuisine!

Best BBQ in Miami! The food is amazing, ribs are outstanding and they also have ice cream!

I'm giving this place a two-star just because I want to be generous. After looking for the right BBQ place around Miami Shores, this place came out, and we loved the "five-star" review, clearly colossal mistake! As soon as we walked in, we noticed this lovely person on the counter where you were supposed to order sitting charging her phone and with a mask. We waited for her to move to order, but she was too busy giving us a look, like if we, the customer, were bothering her. Then she continued to charge her phone, cough, and sneeze twice all over the counter towards the cooking area, so that was our hint to leave this place. I keep encountering this place where attention to the customer is not there, or they are too good actually to do their job! A little advice to business owners WE pay for your salary; WE are the ones who actually keep your business running with our presence, not the other way around.

Unsure who is writing these good reviews. First red flag: no smoker on site. Second red flag; asked for sauce on the side with my pulled bbq rather than on it. Girl said "no can do; that's how we make it." Which means "we buy this in a container from somewhere and heat it up here." Oh, and the onion rings were terrible. Seriously? An onion ring is the equivalent of a grill cheese. Almost impossible to screw up. My can of coke was cold so I guess that's why they get one star.

Oh man! Been a BBQ lover for over 6 decades and these St Louis Ribs are Epic. Among the very best we've ever had. Uniquely sweet and crisp but still moist and fall off the bone delicious. And plentiful too. The French fries are the bestI've had in Miami. What a find!

the music is too loud, you can't even have a conversation because you have to shout all the time, it's not a nice place to share
