Excellent barbecue, especially the chicken and ribs combo. It offers a kind family-style service and old-fashioned soul food, with sauce served on the side as my recommendation. The flavors have a good smoky infusion. read more

Good food and good people! The ribs were fantastic, and the people are great. I would also suggest you try the collard greens and the sweet potato pie. read more

I love Mama Lucy's! The ribs are always fall off the bone! My treat is a slice of light bread (for y'all that don't know what light bread is... a slice of white bread...) dipped in their BarBQ Sauce just makes you want to holla! read more

Went in to order a rib sandwich for someone, lady inside that takes the orders was very rude. The order was a barbecue rib sandwich with sauce on the sandwich, and extra sauce on the side. The lady taking the order said I can't have sauce on the side even if I paid extra, or I can't have extra sauce on the sandwich. I asked her, how am I supposed to order a sandwich to my liking. Her gesture was very rude, and she said "THIS MY HOUSE". I got my money back, and I will never be returning. This place gets a thumbs down and one star for customer service ‍ I wish I could give this place a no star. read more

IF I CAN GIVE THEM A ZERO STAR I WOULD!! NO MASK AND NO SAFETY AT ALL! THE MAN TOLD ME WHY I ONLY PLACED ONE ORDER. Who does that?? What business questions your order and purchases WORST COOK. LET ME NOT MENTION THE WORST CASHIER, this untrained cashier; handout me an out dated MENU with 2000 yr old price's. When I asked why my order cost $3 on top of it original prices based on menu. The young light dark red skin cashier. Upset at me (the customer) for not having knowledge of their current menu prices. I went ahead and placed a second order, the same day. On the second order, the cook tells the worker I don't even tip to be asking him (the cook) to see the slabs of rips. Smh, worst experience. On top of that he did not have a mask on to be talking over my food I already paid for. SUPER NASTY. read more

The rib sandwich is solid but Small end sandwich s undefeated and the chicken and ribs combo is a solid buy but the sauce is 5 stars

Best BBQ I've ever had. All my sides were delicious. The meat was tender. Service was good.

Rib quality = Excellent Racism = Not I am white and the friend I was with, is latin. The price per rack of ribs was $29 each for both of us. So we were charged $58 for 2 racks of ribs... Wandering what the price would be if we were black? read more

Ribs was not fully cooked meat was not tender !!! The service was fast. Don't go late because they're won't be no sides.

Mama Lucy's is always a go too for years. I'm always satisfied with their food. My parents been taking me since I was a kid here and now I'm taking my kids read more

After reading the rave reviews, I ventured into Mama Lucy's. I have to say for me, it wasn't worth the trip. First of all the interior is run down. There happens to be a for sale sign posted outside the building. I ordered the rib dinner, greens, mac and cheese, potato salad and the peas and rice. Throw in a soda and the meal came up to $15. The ribs were thin and didn't have much meat. Even worse, thy were served lukewarm. The potato salad wasn't bad, but I couldn't eat the mac and cheese. The "creamy" texture just wasn't my preference. I like my mac and cheese baked. The greens and cornbread were OK. It just seemed like this meal was poorly put together. You know how folks say they cook with love? It's real. I didn't feel the love here. read more

I would normally write my own review, but I have to give full credit to the first guy (Joshua). These ribs are divine and should come with a warning label RIBS: WILL PUT YOU TO SLEEP ;) read more

Absolutely disgusting, after making payment for 2 short in rib sandwich's I go around to the grill man who was eating a sweet potato pie with his hands and licking his fingers. giving him the benefit of the doubt I waited to see if he would wash and sanitize his hands but no he immediately reached for the grill as i stopped him mid reach asking him to wash his hands and grouchingly he did but I was just to disgusted I went inside, (did I forget to mention the atrocious smell of the inside ) however the cashier gave me a refund I called my brother to tell him about my experience and he too had a disgusting experience here too the grill man on his Trip to nasty Lucy's was picking his nose Ewwww I'm upset I have to give a star read more

This is to go to rib joint as of lately. I mean you really can't go wrong with a couple smokers pushing out clouds of Smokey goodness. We ordered a couple rib sandwiches which is another way of saying half rack with a slice of white bread slapped on top. We always order our baked beans and Mac n cheese which are well worth the occasional 25 minute wait for the ribs. The beans are sweeeet and the Mac is really cheesy and a solid side. I know there were some other Yelpers that complained about the sides, not sure if they just went at the end of the night or when they were running out of stuff but I've really never had a problem with any other dishes. I do get a little annoyed with the fact that sometimes you go at a decent hour and there is a 45 minute to an hour wait for ribs and they won't sell you the meal unless the meat is ready. It makes sense don't get me wrong, but almost an hour for the ribs is just too ridiculous. Overall a decent place, fairly clean with decent prices. read more

My daughter and I were dying for bbq so we found this place on line. No eat in- pick up. Kaye was super helpful and sweet, and you go outside and the ribs come straight off the grill. We got the small end half ribs - 2 orders and we had many leftovers with 4 women eating. Could've done the one order easily especially with the sides. Also recommend the sweet yams. Didn't care much for the cornbread. read more

The only thing this place is good for is the ribs. The collard greens are nasty had too much sugar, and the mac and cheese didn't have enough cheese or seasoning. The sweet potato pie is nasty and the pound cake is nasty. read more

I ordered small end ribs with extra sauce. The ribs were hard as hell. I think I got last nights leftovers they reheated. I tried to call them four times no one answered the phone it went straight to voicemail and you couldn't leave a message. I will admit the sauce was good. lol lol lol read more

I came to this place expecting some good soul food and was highly disappointed. The yellow rice was hard, the yams were dry like Popeyes biscuits. The Mac and cheese had no cheese look like box mac and cheese. The ribs were over cooked. The chicken wings taste like the grease was 3 days old. The baked beans had no taste. The sweet potato pie crust was hard as a rock. read more

This place may be in the ghetto and I probably would count on take out for future meals but if your in the mood for good BBQ it is worth the trip. The neighborhood may be ghetto but that says nothing of the people who frequent the restaurant. During my trip I held the door open for four people and all four thanked me, try that test anywhere else in Miami. I am usually lucky to get one out of four. The building is a little old but it is southern BBQ so I think that a older building is a prerequisite. There are only 8 or so seats in the dining area which is the reason for planning all later meals as to go meals. When you approach the building you will see four old school BBQ grill out front. You then walk up to the counter and order. They will hand you any sides ordered and direct you to a window on the side of the building at which you present your receipt and collect your meats. I ordered a half rack of ribs and some okra. The ribs came in a styrofoam takeout container with four pieces of white bread and some oxtail, all dripping in BBQ sauce. Let me tell you this is real BBQ, it is messy and oily, the ribs are a little fatty, and the only way to describe how good it tastes involves expletives and a good portion of a heart attack. The only reason it doesn't have 5 stars is because I don't want anyone thinking it is a good place to take a date. It's not, but your sure to have a great meal and take about a month of your life expectancy, as it should be. read more

This place deserves way more love than it's given. Definitely a hidden gem! I'm from out of town and found this place due to reviews. The ribs were absolutely to die for! What makes this place the best is the customer service. The lady that served me was one of the owners, Shella and all I can say is what a doll. She was so kind and made me feel right at home! Do yourself a favor and come here! read more

I'm very disappointed after being a customer for years. I ordered a rib dinner and they gave me hard burnt ribs smothered in barbecue sauce. I couldn't even enjoy my meal. The collard greens were even extra salty. People shouldn't be treated this way especially when they charge $15. read more

Didn't even get to try the food we arrived two minutes before the open the lady rudely told us to get out. place look kind of dirty anyways so kind of glad it happened that way read more

The Ribs only are worth 4 stars but the building AND the service is GHETTO!!!!! I was not really feeling going around the side of the building to pick my food up out of a cut out window... But I Guess :/ Anyways as good as the Ribs tasted I never been back... Still Deciding.... Oh Yah the conch was pretty good I will give them that too... I haven't tried any of there side dishes though... read more

This little place is so non-de script that I've lived near it for years and never ventured in. The one time that I did go in, the lady at the counter informed me that they didn't take credit cards. I made it there yesterday and Viola! They now accept credit and debit!!! Rejoice all ye! Rejoice! The ambiance: There are 8 tables in all and approximately 18 chairs. Take out is your best option in my humble opinion. The building is run down. And there is a big sports theme all over the walls. The sides: I don't eat macaroni and cheese. I can't stand the stuff. My sister on the other hand does enjoy it. She informs me that they have very good mac and cheese. Cheesy, creamy, and tasty. The collard greens are to die for!!! You can taste the smoked ham hocks. The greens are firm, not too bitter, and perfectly seasoned. The rices that they prepare are made very well. The yellow rice is good, but the pigeon peas and rice are better. The ribs: I enjoyed the ribs. My one issue was that my order of ribs were a little on the tough side. The sauce was good though. I can see that sauce smeared all over anything and being a big hit. The Oxtail: There are two luxurious cuts of meat on every cow that always make my day: the tongue and tail. These people know how to slow stew oxtail until it's falling apart, and so tender. I will be going back for more!!!! The conch: When I saw it on the menu I knew that I had to try the deep fried conch. I had my doubt because I've had some really tough conch in the past. However, Mama Lucy's tenderizes their conch perfectly. The breading was light and tasty. It wasn't too overpowering at all. It was perfect. If I have a complaint, it isn't regarding the conch it was the fact that I didn't get any lemon or lime with my order. Thankfully, my order was a take-out and I had some at home. Tilapia: I've heard that they have excellent tilapia. I have yet to try it. I will be going back to try it. Souse: Mama Lucy's motto is "Where Souse is Boss." I'm going to go back later and try it. If you don't know what souse is, it's a brined meat that's been stewed until it falls apart. Traditionally, it's a head cheese but I've seen the term applied to chicken wings that have been cooked by this particular form of cooking. read more

I bought a large fountain drink for $1.75. It was at least half ice. When I finished it I requested a refill and was told I would have to pay another $1.75...lame lame lame They ran out of ribs 45 minutes before closing which required waiting until the place closed for them to finish cooking The entire interior is FILLED with smoke from the barbecues so waiting in the restaurant was like sitting inside a burning building... They use generic wholesale Barbecue sauce, I.e corn syrup based garbage. I'm convinced all these reviews are fake. This place is awful, and also in a very bad part of town. read more

The ribs was bomb love the food here they was supper wet the greens and Mac was good the sauce tasted kinda weird

Food was good but because of my horrible experience with the staff, I would never go back. Rule #1: Customer service. The grill outside will have me "taste" the place once but the impatient, rude, nasty young ladies behind the counter will keep me away forever. Shame b/c I pass the place 5 days a week but I refuse to stop. read more

The best soul food in Miami! Their servings are enough to last two days , you get rice and 2 sides plus your meat-it's so much food! Their oxtail is good and the ribs are delicious! I love the yams,& collard greens!! Super friendly family owned spot! read more

Great place to stop by for their famous Rib Sandwich (about a quarter rack of crispy, whole, slow-roasted pork ribs with two pieces of white bread - $7.50) after a game at Sun Life Stadium! Signed NFL Jerseys from former UM Hurricane greats cover the walls inside, but the place is really a takeout joint as they call your name outside and hand you the food through a window in the parking lot. Ribs are toothsome (if that's what you prefer, as opposed to the fall-off-the-bone variety) and properly smoked... Their sauce is good... I just enjoy Fat Man's TOO much to give this one the top review in Miami... But a worthwhile stop-through, indeed... read more

The best ribs in South Florida the sauce is amazing my favorite is the short ends rib sandwich

This is the best barbecue I've had in such a long time! Here in Florida I'm starting to realize that it is hard to find food that tastes above average. The sauce has a strange vanilla-ish or chocolate thing going on, but it works! i would love a recipe. the ribs are seriously good and smokey. No fat and cut very thin. Don't be afraid of the smoke pouring from those grills, They know what they are doing! read more

I went to this restaurant to pick up dinner. Never again the chicken was hard and old, the Peas and rice was gummy the potato salad was the worst. Save your money don't eat here $30.00 gone down the drain, read more

From the 4 stars this restaurant was given i thought the food would've been good. The ribs smelled, like they were bad before they were cooked. You could smell rotten meat over the bar b que sauce. The macaroni was just awful, the food is horrible I'm really considering calling the health department cause that rotten meat could have someone sick read more

First of all it's worth the drive to the hood so just Man Up! Everything here is delicious which the long lines are a clear indication! The ribs, to die for Mac n cheese and peas and rice are finger lickin' good! Don't forget to try one of their homemade pies! read more

You arent going to find better soul food anywhere else. The bbq sauce they have? Good Lord!
