SOUTH MIAMI, FL. - One the last American-style, western-theme restaurants in the city, Shortys BBQ continues to spice the palates of locals and travelers alike. I had 48-hours left in Miami and I could not leave without tasting that famous homemade BBQ sauce of theirs. I went cruising down South Dixie Highway at high noon, when I saw their iconic flagship store with its bright red neon lights that read SHORTYS. Just then, I flashed back in time. Edward Louis SHORTY Allen, who started the business back in 1951 from a barbecue... read more
Only go to US1 – Shorty's BBQ located on US1 is the only one my family and I eat at, great service, great food, great atmosphere to take your family. the only issue with this shortys is that sometimes the bathroom smell lingers into the rest of the restaurant.
BAD FOOD AND WORSE SERVICE - STAY AWAY – I have alway liked to have new experience with food, but this one I could have done without... My partner and I made a trip to Shorty's BBQ in Deerfield Beach in the hopes of having a decent meal, we obliviously had bargained for too much. We were aware of this very soon on when we walked in, we stood at an empty hostess station for 3 to 4 minutes before we were finally attended to. Another server came out and asked us or herself "where is this girl?", referring to the server that we ... read more
Fantastic BBQ – This place has amazing BBQ. The ribs, pulled pork sandwich, onion rings and sweet potato are fabulous- this is proper Southern BBQ at its finest. I'm completely addicted to this place and sometimes pass up opportunities to go to more upscale restaurants to go to Shorty's. Its also a great value for your money. Make sure you go to their website before going because they often post coupons. Service is colorful but good. The one thing that sometimes disappoints me about the place is that more than once when I've... read more
Bad Quality Meets and Poor Sauces Make for Disappionting Experience – Even when BBQ is bad -- it is still tasty. Unfortunately, that doesn't hold true for Shorty's. The Shorty's on South Dixie Hwy serves low quality products and ranks low on the taste meter. The pork is hard and stringy, and the spare ribs have less meat on them than Nicole Ritchie at an anorexics anonymous meeting. The sauce is not thick and sweet or even slightly spicy like good BBQ should be, but namely brown, runny, vinegary goop. At first, I thought we ... read more
Consistently good service and food – Miami native remembers the old Shorty's way ago in the late 50's and 60's when you had to wait your turn in a long line for the finest barbecue is South Florida. Sadly, today's Shorty's is but a shadow of what it once was, the passion is just not there. Still, good barbecue, especially recommended is the half chicken platter or for lesser appetites the ridiculously cheap priced pork or beef sandwich. Avoid the ribs. My advice is to skip the US1 Shorty's and ask for directions to the Bird ... read more
Above average service – Shorty's is not what it once was. Years ago, we'd stand on line for half an hour waiting to get in. Now, the food seems too mediocre for such a long wait. The ribs, sauces, and Key Lime pie are good but the fries have got to be the worst ever made. The coleslaw is too "goopy" and the beans are just "okay". Come on, Shorty's, we miss the old days!!!
South Florida's most popular low-frills barbecue joint for more than half a century. – In Short A favorite since 1951, Shorty's often has lines of hungry people stretching out the door. The old-fashioned log cabin building is bare-bones, with concrete floors and long wooden picnic tables. Seating is family-style, utensils are plastic and service is friendly and quick. A bulletin board menu lists various combinations of beef, chicken and pork, including platters and sandwiches. Ribs, including the baby backs, are lightly sauc... read more
Great Memoirs that Water our Mouths – All of us that have lived in Miami at one point in our lives have Shorty´s in our hearts. Its not only the great juicy BBQ ribs, or the greasy corn on the cob, but also the memoirs left in our hearts. I´ll never forget: * The white haired elder waitress that has been there for ages. * Waiting for the Flyer coupons to have an excuse to go to Shorty´s (even if we didn´t use the coupons after all) * Going with our parents, high school friends, families, and then taking our children to taste... read more
