    This place is a staple in West Kendall. When my daughter graduated from school a few years ago, we had Hate Mondays Tavern prepared 10 smoked chickens, which they marinated in Jupina- absolutely delicious. I haven't been in the area in a while so after a business meeting we decided to head over to eat. They had a long table in the back for our large group. We ordered wings to start and they were smoky and tender. The ribs had great flavor and texture. A lot of food for great price- if you haven't been here you are missing out!

    Indoor seating only

    Came to Hate Mondays tavern Tuesday afternoon around 2-ish. It wasn't busy at all so we were able to sit down right away. I tried the Taco Tuesday menu, 2 steak tacos and 1 brisket taco and they were INSANELY good! They load those tacos up with meat, they definitely don't skimp. Ambience is definitely dive bar, classic Florida vibes, low lighting, very chill. Will definitely be coming back for more tacos!!!

    Inside

    We literally found an amazing hole in a wall. We were searching for some delicious barbq and we found it. The place is a small warehouse but the inside is extremely cool. They have all sorts of signs and dollar bills hanging around. Then service was great. We got attended to right away. The food was AMAZING!! We started off with the tostones. They were sooooo good. They bring you 2 sauces, one is more of a mustardy flavor and the other barbq flavor. Both just as good!! I had the pulled pork wrap. Oh my god!!! It was perfect because it wasn't overpowered by sauce like most places. My husband had the burger which comes with a patty and pork belly. We also had some crispy fries with our meal. Needless to say, we will definitely come back to this hidden gem. The people are super friendly. Lots of regulars! Can't wait to come back!

    Brand new beer!

    It's a love/Hate relationship. We Love Hate Mondays! Been 3 times so far; 3 amazing, mouthwatering, satisfying meals! Smoked salmon, so delicious with no fishy taste. Monday remedy burger, unbelievable. Salmon melt, melt in your mouth, with scrumptious potato salad. Topped off with Hate Modays IPA. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE. Great service with a million smiles. Great dive scene with a casual feel. I'm a Hater for sure!

    Smoked wings

    We were very lucky to find this local hole in the wall hidden gem with a very unique atmosphere with every space on the wall covered with something interesting or unique that made it fun to sit and to enjoy looking around. This is a very small place with not much seating. They have a large grill/smoker outside and they cook outside but also cook inside and they serve inside. Our waitress Lu Lu knew all the beers and the menu very well and was very helpful in helping us make our decision on what to order. She was always available and very friendly. Their food is amazing! We started with their homemade smoked salmon dip with homemade pita chips; incredibly! We ordered the smoked wings, smoked ribs and smoked brisket and shared everything around the table and nothing disappointed us. The meat was tender, perfectly seasoned and was bursting with so much flavors. We tried a few of their local beers that were served cold and in a cold glass. We finished with some deep-fried Oreos that were so unique and amazing. We had no problems with parking. The owner Karl was extremely friendly. He was saying hello to all his guests. I am looking forward to returning and trying more of their food.

    Brisket and waffles and tacos
    Luis F.

    We went for Taco Tuesday and they had all the proteins available, so we ordered the brisket and waffles, tostones, and of course the tacos. Everything was excellent. The tacos were stuffed and not skimpy at all, and the brisket was absolutely delicious--tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The restaurant has that true hole-in-the-wall, Florida Keys vibe that makes it feel laid-back and authentic, and the owners are genuinely great people. If you're planning to go, I'd recommend checking their hours since they close early on some days, and definitely ask what proteins they're offering that day. Highly recommend.

    I came to Hate Mondays Tavern for the first time around lunch time. It was a little difficult to find the parking entrance from the road but once I saw the smoker I knew I was in the right place. The interior is quite small but is a very lively with a bunch of wall and ceiling decorations. The staff were super friendly and helped me place my order. I went with the brisket and the ribs as recommended by them. The brisket was unfortunately not very juicy and a little chewier than I expected. The honey mustard sauce that was drizzle on top of it was very tasty though! The ribs had great texture and flavor. I definitely want to come back and try some of their burgers as a lot of people were ordering them!

    Talk about a hole in the wall! Great food, great beer offerings, and the BEST service by Lulu! I love the look and made me feel like I was somewhat in a Key West type of restaurant with the bills on the ceiling. The wings were amazing and with a kick (bbq is my spicy). So many beer options, it was overwhelming but in a good way, I tried Pregame from Funky Buddha and a pilsner from Carlsberg which was great! Overall, amazing! The whole team, including Jo the chef, were so inviting, we had a great time! Definitely coming back for a "real lunch". I loved this place!

    Brisket loaded fries

    04/2024 Rating: 4.5 Found out abou this place through Yelp and Instagram. If you're not from the area, you won't even know it's there unless you follow where the smoke is coming from. Located within the warehouse business near Costco, parking is small and can be difficult. I recommend coming early. RESTAURANT: The grill master does this magic outside. Inside is actually pretty small. You are greeted by a small counter that gives you a sneak peak of what is happening behind the scene. Seating can be limited so I recommend coming right when they open. Every single wall is adorned with trinkets from military mementos, movies, sports and more. There are so many things to see and discover. Furnitures consist of wooden tables and chairs. I did find that some of the booth/bench is a bit far from the table. The restaurant is clean, especially the restroom. It can get loud in there but the vibe is overall a really good time. SERVICE: The grill master himself said hello to us as we entered and thanked us sincerely as we left. The serving staff were also wonderful. She answered all of our questions and made suggestions that we thoroughly appreciated and enjoy. The food came out in a timely manner and she made sure to check on us throughout our meal. They crew seems to enjoy working with one another and it was nice to see that they are like one big happy family. FOOD: Now, for this visit, we came specifically for the oxtail, baby! I saw it on instagram and I was like..."I must have it." I am used to the Cuban style rabo encendido and the Filipino peanut dish called Kare-Kare so I was curious where this dish would fall. We also had the brisket loaded fries and chicharon. Ok so the chicharon was not what I expected; I was expecting you know the usual crispy pieces of pork belly with that crackling skin. This chicharon were defibitely pieces of pork belly but they are thicker and juicy, not crispy but delicious nonetheless. The brisket loaded fries was just a party with that huge plate of skinny fries, with tender pieces of briskett and pico de gallo and avocado crema looking sauce and topped with bbq sauce. It was so good, I highly recommend. Then comes the braised oxtails which came out in a nice large plate on a bed of white rice with garbanzo beans...a little too much beans but I ate them all. The oxtail was so tender, falling off the bone goodness. The flavor is a lot more subtle compare to the Cuban version but that sauce was saucing. I am grateful they gave big chunks instead of just little pieces. We left nothing on that plate. Overall, this was a wonderful experience. Everything we tried were delicious and I was glad the school was out on a Tuesday because Oxtails were on available on Tuesdays. The pricepoint is a bit high but considering it is meat cooking literally right there as you enter, it can't get any fresher than that. Love this locale business. Highly recommend to see the bearded chef. We will definitely return.

    Variety of beer selection
    Family O.

    This place was on my list for over 6 years, but their schedule is limited, and every time we happened to be in south west Kendall it was closed or closing within minutes (3pm-4pm). Small, little hole in the wall interesting place. The food was mid, checking this off my list one and done. We ordered a variety, Mondays Burgers ( was told good), pulled work (was told ok) and the brisket platers (was ok), only sides potato salad and coleslaw (both good). I personally ordered the brisket, that's my go to especially in a place like this which had been very hipped for me, I was disappointed, the meat was lean, flavors was good and the Carolina sauce over it was also good it was swirled cold over the meat and it put me off. They had a good variety of canned beer. Give it a try yourself, if I were you, and form your own opinion.

    All the food was amazing & the service incredible. Loaded Croqueta Preparada with Brisket. Such a great hole in the wall.

I also ordered a Frozen Strawberry Margarita, and unfortunately, it was a little too watery for my liking. I LOVE frozen drinks, so I'm definitely not a "margarita on the rocks" girl. Give me my drink nice, thick, and frozen! For my burger, I ordered the Meltdown and added a slice of American cheese because, listen... I'm a Cheesehead! The burger was HUGE! And of course, I had not eaten all day, so by the time we got there around 6-something, I was starving and thought ordering all this food was a great idea. I don't know what possessed me! The burger was really good. It was flavorful, satisfying, and definitely bigger than I expected. I only ate half, and honestly, I'm still mad about it because I wanted to finish that whole thing! But there was no way I could do it. We also got the Cheese Fries to share. They were good too! Even though they were covered in cheese, the fries still had a nice crisp to them. I really appreciated that because I do not enjoy soggy fries. I only ate about five, but those five were good! The manager was really nice and welcoming and so was the waiter who took our order. Next time I need to go hungry frfr!!
