I came to Bare Bones BBQ & Jerk ready to eat. I was not prepared for just how good it would actually be. The Spread: We ordered the brisket, smoked chicken, spare ribs, and baby back ribs -- yes, all four -- on one tray lined with butcher paper. It looked like a BBQ fever dream and tasted even better than it looked. The Meats: The brisket was the standout for me. Smoked over real wood for 12+ hours, hand-carved, pink smoke ring, tender all the way through. The baby back ribs were glazed and meaty with deep smoky flavor, and the spare ribs were thick, juicy, and packed with bold bark. The smoked chicken rounded it all out -- moist, flavorful, never dry. The Sides: Rice and peas with coconut milk -- fragrant and perfectly cooked. The 4-cheese mac was outrageously creamy (I kept going back for more). The sweet and tangy coleslaw was the perfect palate cleanser between bites of rich, smoky meat. The Extras: The 4-pack of sliders was a great add -- soft buns, well-seasoned patties, could easily make a meal on their own. The fries were golden and crispy. And the watermelon lemonade Kool-Aid with berries at the bottom? Refreshing, unique, and the perfect closer to an incredible meal. The Space: Big news for fans of Bare Bones -- they've just opened a brand new storefront next door with about a dozen additional tables and plenty of seating for the whole family. No more eating in your car or rushing home with takeout. You can now sit back, relax, and enjoy that tray of smoked goodness the way it was meant to be experienced. It's a welcome upgrade that somehow makes the food taste even better. This is a family-run operation with over 20 years of food experience and it shows in every detail. Bare Bones isn't just good BBQ -- it's a South Florida treasure. read more

Found this Gem in pembroke pines. Outside of the amazing food the service TJ provided was outstanding. Went for lunch on wednesday. Parking is easy as it's located in a plaza. Plenty of sitting space. I ordered the Texas Brisk'wich. The price is worth it 100% the flavors fill all your tasting buds and make you understand why . Food comes out quickly and it's a great spot for any meeting business or pleasure. Ambience was quiet allowing for good conversation. More of a casual setting but food A+ read more

I checked the Yelp reviews before I ordered and seeing 4.6 stars out if 448 reviews, I ordered with confidence. However, Fellow yelpers, my heart is broken. This restaurant is selling baked brisket as smoked. Does anyone not know the difference? Smoked brisket should have a pink line around the edge. This does not. Aldo it was dry even though dripping in juice the meat itself felt dry and got stuck on my throat. I'm attaching photos of what it should look like for your review. read more

The BBQ was absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The collard greens were seasoned just right, and the macaroni & cheese was creamy, cheesy, and hands down one of the best I've had. Definitely a 10/10--I can't wait to eat here again! On top of the great food, our server, TJ, was the best! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His excellent customer service made the whole experience even better. Great food and outstanding service--I highly recommend this place! read more

Great selection for everyone, from plant based to straight up bbq. I found the staff to be friendly, informed, and helpful. I made up a veg platter for me including: mac & cheese, rice and peas, apple corn bread, grilled vegetables, potato salad and coleslaw. So good. My dining friend had the 1/2 portion of ribs, it was a man meal sized amount of food but what she couldn't finish went home. I found prices to be very fair, my only concern was the iced tea which I feel does not come with refills, but I didn't stay long enough to find out. It works and if you like bbq or jerk this is where you would start in this area. read more

I gave this place five stars a couple of years back. So disappointed with new management or all of the new takeover leadership. Prices have nearly doubled. It's lost it's family oriented touch.. I really want from spending $50 for three people to $96 for the same exact food. Portions have also decreased in size. Lost a loyal customer. read more

Real Great Food. I really enjoyed the spare ribs- they were fall-off-the-bone-tender and juicy and flavorful. The collard greens were also very flavorful, I fully enjoyed eating them. The jerk pork was also pretty good, a nice spicy that is flavorful and not overpowering -if you can handle spice, go for them. I personally wasn't a fan of the Mac and cheese since it's not baked Mac and cheese, but a lot of the reviews liked the Mac so to each its own. The house sauce was also very very good. Overall, excellent food, excellent service from Tommy. Would def come again and try the burgers, jerk chicken and/or the spare ribs and collard greens again. read more

Went late on a Friday- about 90 min from close. It was pretty slow at this point. Only one other customer there. The service was good. They answered our questions and were nice. The Mac and cheese was really good- nice and cheesey. But the collard greens- I was so surprised how much I liked them! Usually I get it as a veggie so I can be balanced but I'm not a huge fan. However, bare bones collard greens were actually really good. The brisket I got was decent. I asked for more moist so I did get some fatty pieces but I felt they were a little too fatty in big chunks. But I got what I asked for , so can't complain. They gave a thing of bbq sauce too- wish I got more so I could dip my brisket. I'm sure if I had asked, they would have. I tried the pork jerk. I only one piece cause it wasn't mine. But it wasn't bad. The jerk didn't taste homemade though. I didn't try the salad but it looked so pretty! read more

let's start with my order. I requested a small collard and the gentleman said I should get a large -- then ignored me and charged me a large. I noticed the rate was high so I asked the lady to check the order and we found it was not what I requested. WHO DOES THAT? next, the lady who took my payment had an attitude the moment I requested my order be corrected. very dismissive for such a simple fix. she then gave me my order with collard green juice all at the bottom of the bag -- when I asked for the golden yellow bbq sauce she became dismissive -- told me I had two already there. I thanked her and then. checked my bag in the car because I live in Aventura and I know my family would like this specific sauce. After noticing the sauce was the regular barbecue sauce I walked back into the store and requested a clean bag and the correct barbecue sauce. She then took the wrong sauces and tossed them into a bucket with even more attitude. At first, she only gave me one barbecue sauce and I had to ask her for two to replace the other two. This was a mission and a half just to order baby back ribs, macaroni, and collard greens. I don't even know how it This experience is not something I'd want other people to have. You might have better luck ordering online and picking up to avoid horrible customer service. read more

I dare you to find me better BBQ than Bare Bones!! The smoked chicken, corn, cole slaw (made with vinegar not mayo) is hands down amazing!! This is your next best take out order read more

For America's birthday we stopped by bare Bones and had jerk ( Jamaican bar b Que) chicken. Decided to dine in. The place is expanding so excuse the dinning area (not a big deal) The service was good, the drink options were mid. The wings and Mac and Cheese was amazing. Did not like the greens or potato salad. I will most definitely be back for some wings and Mac. Worth going there for that! read more

This was great bbq . I Had baby back ribs. They were tasty and moist . I'm used to sweet and sticky but these were good. I also Had s beef bone . It was good. It I was Not expecting the huge size nor price for 1ib. My partner had the smoked turkey which he loved. The coleslaw was also very tasty but I Made a mistake with the veggies. They were more stewed than grilled. The service was friendly and helpful . TJ had lots of personality . The dining area was simple and functional and throw away . It's definitely set up for take out. But the bbq experience was definitely worth it . Will be back or do a delivery . read more

Just opened: Dine in seating. Very comfortable Works for me, sometimes I don't want to take out. Best BBQ in town but don't sleep on the jerk pork and chicken. New fries. Their beans with meat is very tasty. read more

I ordered food and the chicken was not fully cooked. The next day my friend ordered chicken and it was not fully cooked. I called the restaurant and spoke to a lady who said she will tell the chef. Not a good response when you could have made several people really sick if we ate the undercooked chicken. There was still blood in it read more

I was in the plaza and spotted this bbq spot and decided to try it and I'm so happy I made my way in here! It is one of the best places for bbq I have tried in the area and I will be coming back. I had the full rack of ribs and the ribs were very lean and not too fatty which I love and the sauce did not taste like a bomb of sugar. The sides I tried were Mac and cheese, rice and beans, grilled veggies and corn. Their Mac and cheese is yummy and doesn't taste like craft, rice and beans were good and so were the veggies and my fav was the onion. Their corn is so good and sweet and the staff was very nice and smiling which made me feel very welcomed. The establishment looked very clean and it is small but it has a big kitchen so I took it to go. Can't wait to try more things here ! read more

This hidden gym is literally 5 minutes from me and I never knew. Chef Tommy is bringing multiple cultures together and meshing them perfectly. I didn't like potato salad till I had his. Don't get me started on his beef short rib, it was falling off the bone tender. Also his smoked jerk wings were so good. read more

The BBQ Gods trained the hands making these fine meats! Not gonna lie I was quite skeptical seeing "jerk" boasted on the sign and not a Jamaican in sight but the execution is flawless and the flavor ring/bark alone should be studied as a guideline for how to prepare jerk pork perfectly. The brisket is so tender with the perfect fatty to meaty ratio. Love me some brisket but the pork won this showdown. Slaw is light and refreshing with a nice soft crunch against the rich savory meats. Fries are standard but a nice pairing and not too filling. Def get 2 sauces, it's a lil' loose but super yummy. Don't think I've ever had bbq that went down so light and easy, a true testament to the high quality of the ingredients. The inside is a renovation in progress but looks like it will be really nice to dine in soon. It is obviously family owned and the service/hospitality is as lovely as the meal. I will certainly be back when the meat cravings kick in! Got the 2 meat combo with slaw and fries and it was $23+change. A shareable plate or 2 meals easily. read more

This is the only place we go for bbq. The jerk chicken is the best in the area. The Mac and cheese is authentic made with real cheese. The rice and peas side is always good. The highlight of the sides is the collard greens! read more

I lived in Texas for a few years, and never found any BBQ that came close to it here in South Florida . Until I came across Bare Bones BBQ. They have been open for 10 years and it show , best BBQ hand down . I enjoyed the Brisket , so juicy !! The Apple cornbread was delicious. This is more of a takeout place as there is only two tables . I would have given this place 5 stars but the fries weren't cooked all the way . They seemed a bit disorganized as they where getting orders mixed up . Overall , will still be coming back for the food . read more

One thing about it, Black folks do NOT play about BBQ! And while this spot wasn't the worst, it definitely wasn't the best either. You gotta double up on whatever you order 'cause they be a lil' stingy with the meat, and sometimes it's giving undercooked. The potential is there, but babyyy, it could be so much better! I done ordered for my mama a couple times--only 'cause everywhere else was closed--and each time, it was underwhelming. Mac and cheese? More cheese than noodles, not hittin'. But hey, everybody's taste buds different, so pull up and see for yourself! read more

Delicious mom and pop bbq joint. First time was a catering order. They got it all right. Good service solid mom and pop eatery

Highly recommend! The food is good best barbecue spot I've found so far that gives you that Texas vibe. If you ever tried Texas barbecue places then you will know exactly what I am talking about. read more

Really awesome. If you call make sure you ask about the specials. Everything was excellent. The sides were also great. Top notch and no frills .. some of the best in the County read more

The service was fast, the staff were really friendly and attentive, the food was really good.

I ordered the brisket and ribs combo with Mac and cheese. Well let's start Mac and cheese was basic maybe it needed to be baked or some more seasoning but it just did not do it for me. The ribs were ok soft and moist - the brisket was pull apart great. I didn't really get the Bbq feel to it. read more

BBQ was out of this world. Had the jerk chicken and brisket! It was incredible especially with sub par bbq in south Florida. Would recommend for sure. read more

TJ was a great person to meet once you walk in. He was very personable and knowledgeable. TJ recommended everything we ordered. once we received our order, we couldn't wait to devour the food. The food was so good especially the hot pressed corned beef. When TJ came around to ask how the food was, we told him that everything was amazing. He said to make sure to try their burger next time we come back. Well we were coming from Miami so we weren't sure when we can come back so we told to go ahead and make a burger even though we were so full already. He asked if we wanted take it to go, I told him that I will punish that burger once they get it cooked. they rushed to make the burger. sure enough the burger was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. It was well worth loosening my belt a notch. The place was clean since Tj made sure to stay on top of that when he is not busy taking care of his customers. Great people and great food! read more

Bare bones barbecue in church and listen I love y'all. I haven't been to y'all about two or three times and the food is consistent. The baby bag of ribs is really good. You know what I mean and the chicken is really really good and I think I have some shrimp or some grilled shrimp. I don't know I don't I'm not sure but I do know the food was amazing and excellent and I will be back to get some barbecue as a fact read more

This place is delicious. They have the best barbecue sauce ever. I am very picky when it comes to sauce, but their sauce is not too sweet and not too tangy. It is just right. Also, if I ask for extra, they do not give me an attitude rather they are happy that I actually love the barbecue sauce. My favorite is the pulled pork. It is so tender and flavorful. You will not be disappointed. They have all the meats mastered, but The only thing that I don't really like is their Mac and cheese It is not your traditional soul food mac & cheese it's kind of bland. It almost taste like the one that you buy that's already pre made from Hormel. The main star is the meat for sure. This restaurant is kind of small so I would not recommend eating here it's mostly a to go place. The service is quick and efficient. I definitely take everyone I know here if they want good tasting fresh barbecue. read more

Ordered from ubereats and i feel like I got robbed. I ordered the spare ribs combo and jerk chicken combo, with sides of rice and peas, pork and beans, Mac n cheese, collard greens, toast and cornbread. The only thing that was good out of everything was the rice, beans, and Mac n cheese. The spare ribs were tough and could use more sauce. I only got 3 ribs worth of meat. I could've spent the 18 dollars at Publix and cooked the ribs how I like em. The jerk chicken was mid. The corn bread for some reason had what looked like potatoes but tasted like some type of vegetable. I've never in my life experienced cornbread that was so soggy. The toast needed seasoning. Idk how the bread was so tasteless. All in all you would have to pay me money to eat here again. read more

Good: Flavor of the meat is on point. I ordered the two meat combo with brisket and pulled pork. My dad ordered the brisket sandwich and he loved it. Portion sizes were generous and you could split meals between two people. Bad: While the flavor was good, the meat was also very greasy. You could see the grease pooling at the bottom of the Styrofoam container and when I put the leftovers in the fridge, they were inedible the next day because they were congealed in fat. I've eaten at a lot of barbecue places around the country and haven't seen so much grease. My dad and I also ordered two sides each with our meals and then another side of apple cornbread a la carte. However, someone must've gotten confused because we only got one side each in our containers and then the apple cornbread. read more

Not too sure how they managed to nail EVERYTHING we ordered! So simple, so delicious! Ordered last minute because we weren't cooking today, but wanted ribs lol. Ended up ordering baby back ribs and jerk chicken family meal, baked beans, coleslaw, big toast. They did not disappoint. read more
