"Big Mama's BBQ is a little outdoor barbecue spot on 79th Street that serves a mix of things like fried chicken, cheeseburgers, and pulled pork. It’s all solid enough to make a trip here when you’re craving a big plate of ribs, but Big Mama's sides are even better than the entrees—especially the Cajun fried okra, savory BBQ beans, and sweet cornbread. This place is pretty much just a to-go window, but they also have a fenced-in patio where you can sit down and eat on a barrel that’s been MacGyver-ed into a little table.

"Cajun Fried Okra I’ve been driving by Big Mama’s BBQ for a couple months now, and every time I pass the little outdoor barbecue spot on 79th Street, I make a mental note to order from them. This week, one of those notes finally stuck, and I got some ribs, cornbread, mac and cheese, and Cajun fried okra. The ribs were good, but the sides were even better - especially the Cajun fried okra. The little nuggets of golden brown okra are crispy, well seasoned, and taste good dipped in the sweet barbecue sauce - or all by themselves." - Ryan Pfeffer, Carlos C Olaechea

"Big Mama's BBQ is a little outdoor barbecue spot on 79th Street that serves a mix of things like ribs, fried chicken, cheeseburgers, and pulled pork. We've tried the ribs and the burger here - and both were pretty good. The ribs are St. Louis style, with a very sweet barbecue sauce, and as long as you don't let the burger sit too long and get soggy, it's tasty. But Big Mama's sides are even better than the entrees - especially the Cajun fried okra. The little nuggets of golden brown okra are crispy, well seasoned, and taste good dipped in the sweet barbecue sauce - or all by themselves." - Ryan Pfeffer

"Temporarily shuttered restaurants got to work making food for those in need, including out-of-work hospitality workers, plans that continue today. Groups like Food Rescue US-Miami, a volunteer organization that collected leftover food from major events to distribute to the hungry, changed things up to work with local restaurants like Chef Creole, Rosie’s Pop-up, Kush by Stephen’s Deli, Cafe La Trova and Big Mama’s BBQ, to feed the neighborhood and keep restaurants making food." - Olee Fowler

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.

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

*** 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. 🤌🏻🤌🏻

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!
