Karl was a excellent host! I am sure he was surprised to see some Asians comin in thru his door! Hahaha Such hospitality as well as his staff! He went to talk to us directly wondering how we found them. This was like what everyone said...a hidden gem!! I saw the reviews and pics, and I am always up for a unique place to eat. So glad we came to try this place. What a great idea to use a storage unit! Cheaper rent...It got me to come! You drive up to this place and it's literally a storage unit that turned into a small restaurant. I thought inside was small but was a pretty good size! A good 15-20 people can sit here so come early on a weekend! I loved the decor. It felt homey and welcoming. My party of seven sat in the back with their only biggest table. We all tried something different. We had their half rack of ribs, pulled pork sandwich, onion rings, their special ox tail for Wednesday and smoked wings. The ribs are the best I have had in a long time. It was smoked just right with the right flavors and falling off the bones! That's what I like! Make sure to ask for their spicy house sauce that is if you like spicy food. Hehe Too bad they are closed early. They are only open late on Fridays. Still....Totally recommend this bbq place if you're close to Miami. It's well worth it...coming back again next year if I can visit Miami again. ;-) Thanks Karl! [98/100] read more

Where do I start? I loved everything we had in here. The amazing sandwich, so juice and well seasoned. The mouthwatering ribs and the crispy fried Oreos. All that combined with the wonderful service made this a wonderful lunch! read more

I've eaten here a few times. My wife and I love the food, the ambiance and Karl is always very attentive. I contacted Karl a couple of weeks ago to cater for my baby's first birthday. I have to say that the food was on point, we got brisket, ribs, baked beans, potato salad and Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious and on time, I asked him to have it ready by 02:00 and Karl was already waiting for me at that time. Thank you Karl, I'll see you soon! read more

Came here for the first time to celebrate a good friend's birthday. We had great food and company. Karl the owner was very attentive as well as our waitress. It was even more special as we sat next to Karl's mother and her friend and we talked all through our lunch. It was a very nice spot that felt like a small town experience amongst locals. I cannot stop raving about the smoked ribs, tacos and wraps. Even the coffee made by Karl was spectacular. Definitely returning! read more

O. M. G. This place is almost hidden as it's in a warehouse complex. But it's the 1st bay so you should find it fairly easy. Look for all the stickers. When you walk in it's not very bright on the inside but the ambiance is friendly and relaxing. Plenty to look at on the walls and the ceilings. They have money hanging and it's pretty cool to see the different things they have. The food is DELISH. I had the lemonade which I didn't care for as it tasted more like water with a hint of lemon and not much sweetness, that was my only disappointment. I didn't buy a Tshirt because it was funny and perfect for my bestie There was an array of people there from all walks of like. I LOVED that. It was like a BBQ melting pot of folks coming together to enjoy some great grub. Would I go back, YES. I highly recommend it for anyone and everyone. The staff is great and I love that the owner came around to ensure we were happy with our meal. read more

I was a bit disappointed with the service because I wanted fries with my ribs but they didn't have fries because their order was delayed and they didn't offer much as a side for the ribs. I got a full rack of ribs and when I got it, it was overly grilled to the point that the top was black and I can taste the charcoal. I was offered 2 tostones for the side and was an extra charge. Then, a group of guys come in an they get a huge tray of fries so I am not sure why they didn't offer us fries. I spend $60 dollars for a burger, ribs, and 4 tostones. No fries for burger or ribs. read more

I have been ordering for delivery for the last 6 months the grilled chicken sandwich on Rye with tomatoes red onion and lettuce. Their grilled chicken is the best I've ever had. Never dry very juicy. The coleslaw that come with it is very good as well. I highly recommend these folks. read more

I hate Mondays, but Love Hate Mondays Tavern. Hard to find, someone who has been there has to show you the way. Once you discover this hidden treasure, you'll truly know what a meat lover's heaven is all about. The service is fast and friendly, the food is carefully prepared and never served before it's time, the atmosphere is one of a kind. I was told to order the chef's special, and I was amazed at the flavor, portion and price. I will be back on Tuesday to order the 16 hour cured brisket. read more

Hate Mondays Tavern - Smoked Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Miami, Florida

Ordered on the phone and the customer service was amazing!! Went to pick up my order closing time and great service was still great in person!! Food was ready except the one of two wings ordered i had to wait a few minutes. I chatted it up with the owner and another gentleman. Its a small place literally INSIDE a storage container. The ribs were good I purchased the wings for someone else but they enjoyed them!! I really likes the bbq sauce but needed more. The sides were uneventful the meat took center stage. Real BBQ in a storage unit!! Love It!! Will be back to eat there ..hear it's popping on a Friday!! See ya Friday! read more

Catchy name, great food, & friendly service. A winning combination every time. HMT has been around for a few years now & I have eaten there about 5 times. Now that I have tried a little bit of everything, it's time for my review. Interior: Inside it's not a very large place, has about 5 smaller tables(2-4 max) & one larger table(6-8) in the back. When waiting for a table, the area right in front of the entrance is where you'll stand until a table is available. You can order a few drinks while you wait. Everything on the walls is laid back & a few stickers around even offer a few good laughs. Menu: There is a beer menu board as you walk in showcasing all of their current offerings. BBQ/Smoked items are their specialty. I have tried a bit of everything but my favorites are the BBQ pulled pork & the Ribs. I also liked the french fries. For breakfast, they also make some good pancakes. Service: Every server I have had was extremely friendly, attentive, & welcoming. The owner himself, Karl, makes it a point to visit each table to see how everything was. He takes great pride in his cooking & it shows. My friend catered HMT for his birthday celebration a while back. Karl brought his smoker out to my friends house, parked it in the driveway, & made the entire neighborhood drool in jealousy. Good Times! read more

The definition of hole in the wall! They took a regular storage unit in the outskirts of Kendall and turned it until THE BEST bbq spot in Miami! They do a great job of making you feel like you're in another world. My good friends come here often and have been raving about the food and service. I just had to check it out. Long selection of beer and cider, fenomenal Mac n Cheese, pull pork, chicken wings, garlic bread, brisket tostones, meat sandwiches and if you're looking to try something off the menu, they will cook up something special just for you. Nothing cheap about this place beside the price! To top it all off, the staff all around is amazing. so humble and sweet they make the experience that much better. It's worth taking a trip for!! read more

One of the last few places in Miami where you can get good barbecue and relax. Especially in Kendall. I had the croqueta sandwich with the pulled pork and it was delicious. I could have even shared it. Came on Cuban bread and was great with hot sauce. Chef is amazing. read more

Unpredictable place, hours and overall pretty good food and ambiance. Your local dive vibe. Enjoy!

The most amazing experience. Flew in from PR and couldn't stop hearing how amazing the establishment was and amazing how the staff treated everyone like family . Small space and had to wait for seating but definitely worth the wait ! Just incredible atmosphere and the cozy feeling. Thank you for your outstanding hospitality and making me and my family feel loved. Definitely recommend this to everyone from Puerto Rico.. who comes to Miami. Again thank you read more

Best restaurant in Miami hands down!!!! A must if you love food and especially BBQ. Best brisket and Ribs in town. Not to mention remedy burger and croqueta preparada!!!! read more

Hate Mondays is an awesome place. It is a very unpretentious restaurant..... more like a "Dive" as Guy Fiery would put it. Hidden in a warehouse on a not very busy street you will find this little, locals gem. With a smoker outside that is smoking all day long and a tiny kitchen inside this place delivers on food and service. Food here is super good. From smoked chicken wings, to short ribs and pulled pork this chef knows BBQ. From the kitchen the hamburgers are very food as well the french fries. Lots of craft beer options and all sodas. Only 4 stars because I think they should have a couple of homemade sauces to go with this great BBQ. All hot sauces were store bought.... not exactly a problem... but it is always nice to have a house sauce. For those thinking of coming here keep in mind that it is a small place. There are just a few tables and big groups would be hard to accommodate. Give the chef some freedom and let him prepare the surprise dish. You will get whatever he wants to give you. read more

I don't even know where to begin on how amazing this place is. So many beer choices. I had the ropa vieja tostones. Absolutely amazing. Then had Smoked salmon balls of deliciousness. My friend had the ribs. Fall off the bone melt in your mouth ribs. I had wings. Not just regular wings. But huge full drum and wing wings. So tender and good. The cole slaw is sweet and so good. As is the potato salad. With a little bit of tang. Amazing. I've been wanting to come here for years and so happy I finally came. I can't wait to come back. read more

I went here for lunch with my friends and we loved it! We went for Tomahawk Thursday but they had rib eye instead. We had the ribs, brisket, rib eye, corn nuggets and onion rings and everything was amazing! The vibe and ambiance are very relaxed and the service was excellent. The owner and servers came to us multiple times to see if we needed anything and asking if we were enjoying our food. And the price was excellent! Definitely a hidden gem! read more

Great service and great barbecue wverything....their corn poppers were also delicious!

I love Hate Mondays. I have tried everything on the menu and it is always amazing! They have the best pulled pork I've ever tasted!

I know I am just piling onto the 5 star reviews, but honestly, I'd give 6 if I could. The barbecue was the best I've ever had, including bbq I've had in Texas and Tennessee. We got: corn nuggets (delish), brisket (holy moly so good), ribs (literally fall off the bone in a way you can only dream of), and pulled pork loaded fries (a great break from the smoked meat). Outside of the food, the atmosphere was incredible. If you like dive bars and great rock music, you'll want to spend your life in this restaurant. Oh and the beer! Such awesome selection and great recommendations from the staff. Cannot WAIT to go back and eat everything again and again and again. So so good. read more

Hate Mondays Tavern - Wings & potato salad/ ribs & coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Miami, Florida

I've been there twice, once for dine-in and once for takeout. First of all, I should mention that some customers might be put off by the political views of the owner. He flies an upside down flag outside, has a sign on the door announcing there are no transgender bathrooms (I've never seen one at any business) and has a Let's Go Brandon magnet near the cash register. My in-person visit was at 2pm on a Saturday and we had a roughly 30-minute wait for a table for two. OK, how about the food? It ranges from outstanding to inedible; hence the 3-star rating. The highlights were the meaty ribs, tasty brisket and smoked salmon dip appetizer. The worst offering were the wings, which were overcooked to the point that the drumettes were dried out and the flappers were inedible. I asked if the burgers cook be cooked medium rare and the waitress said they could. Sadly, mine was served medium well. I am not a potato salad fan, but their potato salad is the best I've ever had. I had asked, though, for the cole slaw side. read more

Hidden gem. The whole concept of it being in warehouse but with the homey feeling was new but I loved it with the decor handing from the ceiling and everything. Amazing food, would definitely come back. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. read more

If your looking for the best BBQ in Miami.. this is it right here! Staff was very friendly and attentive as soon as I entered the door. The menu is simple and straight forward we'll every item unique. I also learned that the chef has specials not on the menu and they can customize items for you. Prices are reasonable and especially for the scrumptious food they serve it's definitely worth every penny! My partner and I ordered the Brisket Sandwich (Friday special) with potato salad and Full Rack of Ribs with chips. These ribs ARE THE BEST IN MIAMI! Just saying ^.^ P.S- The ironic part is they literally hate Monday's they close that day! Haha The brisket was so good I forgot to take pictures of it. Lols read more

Love brisket Friday f. The tangy gold BBQ sauce really compliments the brisket shredded meat, and if you ask for couple of eggs on top, you will have just an excellent and enjoyable mixture of elements. This place has always come through with fresh and tasty meat. These Hate Mondays smoked ribs saved me and a lot of my associates in the 2020 quarantine times when a lot of places were closed. Ever since then, when I think of BBQ meat, this is the spot choice. The place itself is small but really comfortable. It's always very cold, with a lot of different themes in the walls to keep your eyes wondering and investigating. The music quality sound is just perfect and allows you to enjoy the music while being able to carry a conversation with your companions without the need for screaming. Music choice is great and diverse based on my several experiences. The people serving and the chef himself have always been very attentive and nice to my family, friends and I. I just love the food and the ambience. read more
