This experience was amazing. Best food that I've had in Miami thus far, as well as the cheapest. If you are in downtown Miami this is a must. The food was great, the homemade sauces were amazing and the customer service was immaculate. They greeted us as soon as we walked in, ask multiple times if we were doing ok, and if we needed anything. What really got me was I didn't even finish my drink and there was another on my table in no time. I can say if and when I decide to come back to Miami I will definitely be stopping by the place again. Thank you for a great experience.

Update review on this reataurant. Due to Covid 19, the restaurant cannot accomodate customers inside, however they now have tables with nice parasols outside for your convenience. Go ahead and support your neighbors and local businesses. We need to keep in mind that all members of staff count on the customers to try and make ends meet. Makig a living for restaurants and hotels employees is so difficult at the time being just like everyone else's. The staff here are curtious and kind, helpful and welcoming. Let us all be kind and let those who can, assist those who cannot. The food is very tasty and affordable. A meal can cost no more than 15 bucks or so. A big meal. I suggest the brisket or the special of the day. The banana pudding is also a delight. Check new pictures to see the outside seating area.

Small, hole-in-the-wall, type establishment. Good food, fair prices, exceptional service. Girlfriend and I shared a 1/2 dry-rub rack with two meats and sides, was more than enough to share. Only two servers working but both were on top of their game ensuring everyone was cared for, better than can be said about most other places with many servers.

Great little place. Was not expecting much when walking over to it in this business district. Pleasantly surprised with some yummy bbq. His dry rub ribs were a bit better than my wet tinier ones, but the brisket was great! We got th blast corn bread and I dont think they have another corn alternative - might be wrong.

Had a craving for some brisket but decided to have the sausage sandwich instead. WOW. the fries that came with it were devoured in a minute and the sandwich rocked my appetite. Staff are friendly and fun too.

Casual bbq spot with service above and beyond expectations. Awesome beer selection both on draft and bottle. Server knew everybeer, very impressive. deserts: just get the banana pudding and thank me later. Chicken tenders are fantastic. Biggest suprise was the salad was actually really nice. As far as the bbq goes I would opt for one the the sandwiches. The 3 meats is decent but go the sandwich route.

Everything was delicious. We had the catfish fingers the side of bacon the pulled pork and the brisket. the brisket was sliced extremely thin as if it was going on a sandwich rather than in a larger chunk as if to be eaten on its own. Their hoisin BBQ sauce was incredibly delicious. Also they had a really great beer selection.

First - great beer selection - beer 12 on tap and a wide variety of bottled. The brisket cheese steak sandwich with peppers was excellent. I am a collared greens fan and they don't disappoint. The pecan pie was excellent. It doesn't hurt that the server was really nice.

Great BBQ and super friendly staff! Got the ribs with sides. There’s a wide selection of different sauces, and plenty of ribs to try each one. Place had a good vibe and was a fun little hangout for lunch. Remember to save room for desert!!!

We found Sparky’s by a google search for near by restaurants. The atmosphere was very cool and staff very friendly. The bbq was different than what I’m used (St Louis style) to but very good. I had the baby back ribs and brisket with fries and baked beans. The brisket was in a sauce and very tender. The ribs had a nice rub and tender. My wife enjoyed her veggie burger and fries. I ended my experience with the key lime pie. If you are in the mood for good bbq, I suggest Sparky’s.
