Henry's Cafeteria

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.

The service is great, the sauces are great, the barbecue... not so good. I ordered the smoked wings and a rib/brisket/pulled pork combo. The wings were tasty, but very rubbery. The ribs also had the same chewy, rubbery consistency. The brisket was tender, but tasted more like a roast than a smoke. The pulled pork was good and very tender. The fries were a little thin for me, but the seasoning was nice. The mac and cheese tasted fine, but was really mushy. I did love almost every sauce they offered. All homemade and really flavorful. They even make their blue cheese dressing in-house. I just wish the meats were better... The food doesn’t justify their high prices. I can’t afford to give these guys a second chance.

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.

UPDATE: Brisket was dry, pulled pork soggy. Ribs OK buta bit tough, vinegar sauce was good. The crawfish roll was OK. The Chicken sandwich had some interesting flavor served on a DIFFERENT TYPE OF ROLL. The collard greens were the best part of the meal. Staff was attentive but this did not Make up for the lack of good BBQ. After receiving a questionable reply from the owner due to our review, we will definitely not return.

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.

This is one of the few gems of downtown Miami. The reason? Great food and a wide selection of beer. The place gets really crowded specially during lunch hours and Fridays, which can make the wait longer, but I definitely a tasty option for meat lovers. And if you bring a vegan friend they have salads too. Everyone wins here :)
