Not a half chicken, but still good
Annette F.

My horoscope said to plans something I enjoy with someone I love ... so my husband and I went here for lunch - it's been a long time since we'd been to this restaurant. Our lunch did "lift my spirits" as predicted! Don't pay attention to the lunch special sign out front ... it's difficult to discern what is included in this - maybe a list of sandwiches at the bar, maybe not! I had the barbeque chicken with white rice and cole slaw. All was really good. But ... 4 drumsticks is not the half chicken listed in the menu. My husband had the half ribs with congri and yucca. He thought the yucca was the best he's ever had. We'll have see what my next horoscope directs me to do in the New Year.

Let's try this local place Always catches my attention when driving in the morning to work...so ya day is the day. I asked server for the special menu and she suggested me one item out of the menu called ranchero pork... pictured here before was gone Pork was seared outside and juicy and tender, sides were delicious I even enjoyed the garnished pickles They offered regular BBQ plates and sandwiches that I will try soon In the meantime, sharing this great local find...

This location used to be known as Hitching Post, an old Miami BBQ spot that I'm sure had been around before the 20 years when I'd come here for lunch from the coworkers at my first job. It used to be low slung and dimly lit. I tried going a few years back, and the greasy smell drove me away. Fast forward two weeks back, and I see it renamed to its current name and a "New Ownership" sign, so I decided to give it a try. I saw actual smoke as I came in which is a good sign at a BBQ spot. Architecturally, the space is more open with a bar in the center and better lighting. I walked in before the dinner rush, and was pleasantly greeted, having the restaurant mostly to myself. (People did start arriving as I left.) The menu is meat eater heaven, with combo plates of ribs and chicken, or ribs, chicken and ham. They also serve burgers. My dinner appetite was a little more measured so I started with a potato skin appetizer. I like the fact they're done with slices of real cheese, fresh green onions along with a nice sprinkling of bacon. Next up was their bbq half chicken. A big bird (I couldn't finish!) and I like that their base sauce is sweet BBQ. Baked beans are tasty, as is the corn on the cob. I could have done without the sprinkled cheese and more butter on the corn but I'll just be more specific next time. I definitely plan to come back for their desserts (and maybe a smaller main course).

I live so close to Paladar Okeechobee ribs but somehow it took me years to decide to give it a try. My husband and I went on a Saturday for lunch. We decided to sit outside. I had pulled pork, BBQ chicken with mashed potatoes and cole slaw. My husband had brisket with pulled pork with cole slaw. We ordered the Mac and cheese to share. The Mac and cheese was delicious. The brisket was tender and smokey. The BBQ left us satisfied enough to decide to order for Father's Day for ten people. For the catered order we had brisket, cole slaw, yuca, and corn. The BBQ was a hit at our small get together. However, the cole slaw was very watery the second time around and not as good. The pricing for ten was great. Overall I'd give it 3.5

I know this place for more than 20 years when I used to work at Hialeah and at least one a month on Fridays we went for lunch, was the best pull pork and ribs ever . This time I was hungry and pass by and want to remember the old times. When I open the door I was impressed with the new layout, a bar in the middle look very cozy. We order chicken wings as appetizer, ribs and BBQ pull pork as dinner. They bring the food first and when we asked for the wings? The waitress said that the wings take longer to cook than the food. How can be possible bring the dinner before the appetizer? I never understood. And the wings taste bad, 6 wings 8.99$ almost same price is you order the dinner plate. Bottom line food was Ok. Never come back I prefer the old time old country restaurant with exquisite ribs than a fancy modern like now.

Great food and great service super recommended. We had a family meal for two which fed three of us. The meat falls right off the ribs.

Can't get enough of the BBQ! EVERYTHING on the menu is good. SOOO good, great original place and atmosphere. One place you MUST try.

Came by for a quick dinner with the family. We received great service and delicious food. The food came out looking presentable and tasted very fresh. For appetizers we got mozzarella sticks , came out super fast and the cheese was soft and melting and ah so yummy! We tried churrasco and ribs combo, cooked to order. And the sauce for the churrasco was very flavorful. I had been here before many years ago and definitely has new owners . The whole place feels open and homey at the same time. It has TVs to watch sports , and nice trendy music playing . We will definitely be back! (Sorry guys no pics... once I tried the food I couldn't stop eating)

9 Feet Under is exactly what a speakeasy should be…read more From the outside, the building is completely unassuming, almost easy to miss. But that's part of the charm. Once you step inside, you're transported back to the Prohibition era with a moody atmosphere, intimate setting, and all the character you'd hope to find in a true speakeasy experience. The cocktails are unquestionably the star of the show. Thoughtfully crafted, well-balanced, and presented with attention to detail, each drink feels like part of the experience rather than just something to sip on. Add in a live DJ, great music, and an energetic crowd, and the result is a place with incredible vibes from start to finish. Whether you're looking for a unique date night, a nightcap, or a spot to impress friends from out of town, 9 Feet Under delivers. Joe, at the door, was very welcoming. Fabricio, the mixologist, was a true craftsman. We'll definitely be back.

It was really disappointing and distasteful to see this post…read more I'm one of the regulars at karaoke night at 9 Feet Under, and I can honestly say karaoke has always been about bringing people together. My own birthday was celebrated there on karaoke night, and it was one of the most amazing and unforgettable nights. We also celebrated my niece's graduation on karaoke night, and it was another incredible evening filled with friends, family, laughter, and great memories. Seeing an employee post something so negative about an event that so many of us genuinely enjoy is disappointing. From the outside looking in, it seems like there's been a big shift in whoever is running these events. I recently attended both karaoke night and ladies' night, and the atmosphere was completely different from what many of us have come to love. FYI, karaoke night *brings people together*. I can't think of a single time we've gone and not had a great night. That's why this post doesn't reflect what 9 Feet Under has always represented to so many of us. If you work there and karaoke night is that terrible *for you*, maybe it's worth asking yourself why that is. Or perhaps this isn't the right environment for you. But please don't portray an event that has created so many positive memories for so many people as something negative, because that's simply not the experience the rest of us have had. Now you've lost customers!!

Can't recall ever reviewing staff and patrons, but ya kinda have to in the case of Kaona. That's…read morebecause the guests here are almost as engaged in the operation as the staff. Guess the insight here is Kaona draws folks who so totally want to be there and participate in the nightly celebrations that it becomes contagious, spreading from table to table with smiles, laughter, and cameras. Oh yeah, and did I mention the cocktails? I feel the term 'artisan' is so overused nowadays that I avoid using it, so can we just go with the Bill & Ted description that Kaona's tiki drinks are "Most Excellent!" Will non Gen-Xers get that last reference???

What an amazing evening! Two of my favorite things: A speakeasy, and a tiki bar. So a tikeasy!…read moreSure, it took a couple of tries, and maybe asking the wait staff at the Irish bar next door, where the tikeasy was hiding. You enter an immersive world that really outshines any tiki bar to which I've ever been. The magic radiates out of every nook and cranny. That was complimented by our bartender, Billy, knocking out some perfect killer classics, like a real Mai Tai, and Navy Grog, that, post the 1950s became kind of sugar filled, over-the-top mockeries of the Tiki cocktail arts. No mockery here. Just the old school magic. It's a very analog, and thankfully honest, unhipster revival for a generation who knows not of Bali Hai, Don the Beachcomber, the Mai Kai, and San Francisco's once-great, now seedy Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, at the Fairmont Hotel, on Nob Hill. The crowd, including the regulars, were a lot of fun. In all, a really awesome evening! Five stars, for all of that, and a sixth for the memories.

What surprised me was the excellent service, from start to finish. I arrived early and had a drink at the bar, served by a gorgeous, knowledgeable and polite bartender. As it was early, I probably paid attention to the others at the bar more than I would normally, and it was a very colorful, diverse mix. Beautiful people dressed to the nines, a few couples and a few who were obviously tourists. Great start! The highlights included the dumplings, truffle fries and Snapper. I am a French fry purist, but these changed my mind! I would skip the tuna with caviar over rice appetizer. This one hurt as it was highly recommended by our server. The proportion is just wrong. The mushrooms as a main side were also rather pedestrian. I know we had multiple desserts, but I can't remember them. A big plus for me is that we were rooftop, but it is fully enclosed. Smart and perfect for Miami's unpredictable weather. Since it's clear, you won't miss a thing.

The speakeasy atmosphere is outstanding--walking through the iconic red phone booth feels like stepping into another era, only with much better bourbon. Victoria was an absolute rockstar. She took some fantastic photos of our group (which is no small feat after a couple of perfectly made Manhattans), anticipated everything we needed, and somehow managed to make us feel like regulars on our first visit. Speaking of Manhattans... they're exactly the way we like them: balanced, boozy, and dangerously easy to order "just one more." Pair that with a great cigar, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both upscale and relaxed, and you've got one of the best spots in Miami to unwind. We came for a drink. We stayed for the cigars. We left wondering if we should install a red phone booth at home. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully Victoria will still be there to remind us that "one more Manhattan" is always a questionable life decision.

Just try anything or ask.to be surprised. Remy was our server and he is freaking awesome and has skills. He helped us choose our cocktails cause everything was sounding like a vibe. The food options sound delish and the sliders and pizza seemed to be a hit as we saw that mostly. We were here for drinks though and we stuck to it. Only down fall for us is that we aren't cigar smokers, so the room was filled with it as we didn't know its a cigar lounge as well, but to each his own. Come drink eat and ber merry!
