Wow!! I guess this place has been around since 1950! 76 years!! It was delicious!! We hit this place on our way back from Key West. We stopped at Robert Was Here, first. It's a few miles down the road. It is very casual, with a roll of paper towels at your bench. We were fans of the sweet sauce and honey mustard sauce. Great price with a ton of food!! read more

Went while in town for a soccer teams last soccer game of a 10 month season. The food was absolutely amazing, however the staff was so bothered that a high top table entered the door her annoyance was so present the entire time we were there. Every table she assisted she referred to our table as being the problem where the tables would then be staring at us and our kids the whole time. Every ask was met with a forced smile, and rolling of the eyes as she walked away. She then went to the system to enter the orders and was pointing at us - She clearly was annoyed of having to serve a large group like ours and made the experience terrible despite the food. I understand it's inconvenient when a high number table arrives but there was still a level of service and respect that should have been present. We will never go back. read more

Great--loved the smoked chicken, balanced seasoning and was a huge leg. The cornbread soufflé was excellent, just the sweet I need to pair with the bbq. The sauces on the side were great--loved the spicy vinegar one and the mustard bbq sauce. Alright--all of the bbq came with a ton of sauce dumped on it which makes it difficult to enjoy the flavor of the smoke/grill. The ribs and brisket were quite dry. The burnt ends had a 3:1 ratio of meat to fat and was too fatty overall. Service was excellent. read more

Love Shivers the food is classic BBQ. I had the brisket and pulled pork and both were fantastic. Service was very friendly and helpful. The ambiance is very down home. Love this place! read more

Loved this BBQ joint! First the food quality is amazing, it's so good that some menu items do sell out. The service has been excellent, however it gets busy during the evenings and there is a longer wait time. Absolutely worth it though! I love the rustic look inside it's very homey, but I'm not a fan of the community style tables especially when it's packed. Still I'm giving five stars because it's really really good bbq! read more

Shiver's BBQ still amazing, still has a friendly staff, and always hits the spot!!! ^.^ Rich Smokey flavors, homemade bbq beans, corn bread mash, sweet potatoes, etc. My absolute favorite is the Beef Brisket a must try with any side you pair it with is good. This mom and pop BBQ spot has been here for many many years and the atmosphere is friendly no wonder they have been in business for decades. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Communal seating, fast service, decent bbq, although we found the popular brisket burnt ends to be dry, the portions on the smaller side for the price, and the bbq sauce a bit bland. read more

This is definiitely one of those homestead \ Naranja originals. Outside definiitely looks like an old western movie. I ordered takeout. Ribs, pull pork, beef brisket, fries and hush puppies. Everything was good. It wasn't nothing special though just good. I am not that big fan of a BBQ food. Maybe I will come back. read more

This place is a Homestead staple. It's been around forever. This is genuine and authentic BBQ. The place has a lot of open seating, it's just popular so you'll sometimes have to wait. Service is good, just know you have to wait cause they pump out a lot of orders. The food is super delicious. My favorite is hands down the burnt ends. You have to try it. read more

Shiver's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Homestead, Florida

Shiver's BBQ is a staple BBQ spot in Homestead. My friends have been raving about this spot over the years and we finally decided to take a lil adventure down to Homestead to get it with a group of friends. We went on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy since we were able to grab a seat with a group of 6 and my friend says that there is usually a line out the door. Seating is on what looks like large, communal picnic-style tables so get ready to get friendly with a few folks. Our server was super quick and friendly. My friends are regulars here from over the years so we knew what to order right away. We all mainly came here for their famous brisket burnt ends but unfortunately they were completely out when we came. That's the only reason I can't really give this spot five stars because everything we tried was just good, in my opinion, and I was really looking forward to this. It was also the beginning of the day when they opened when we came so it was a bummer they didn't have this. We ended up ordering a whole bunch of other stuff. Their plates and combos all come with two sides and they have a big variety to choose from. All my friends are huge fans of this place so I think I had too high of expectations coming in. Again, everything was good but just not too out of the ordinary in my opinion. I'm also not the biggest BBQ fan so I think I have high expectations when it comes to BBQ. Overall, still a good spot if you want some classic BBQ if you happen to be in the Homestead area. Not sure if it's worth the drive from anywhere more north like Broward of PBC but worth a stop if you're here! read more

This is my 3rd time coming here and you know what they say...third time's the charm. And it was. The food was delicious and the service was great and the ambiance was nice. (It would've been better if that screaming baby wasn't there.) Anyways, I always try to have something different to a restaurant that I have been to before. And it didn't disappoint me. I ordered the burnt tips sandwich with hush puppies and cornbread soufflé and my fiancé had the half of chicken with the same sides as me. But this time I ordered the salted caramel cheesecake to go. It was so mouth watering, I can't wait to go back and try something new. I would still recommend this place to anyone who is willing to drive for awesome barbecue. Two thumbs up. read more

We came at a super busy time and waited about 25 min to be seated. We got wings and corn nuggets to start. Both were good, although the wings needed a more flavoring. Among the family we got a mix of ribs, burnt ends, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and brisket. Mixed reviews for sure. The flavor was good on all of it. They have some amazing bbq sauce! The burnt ends were by far our favorite. The brisket was a bit dry and the ribs had very little meat. That being said, the rest was really good. It is a typical bbq joint with picnic tables and lot of wood. All of the staff were super friendly. read more

Great food. Great service. Just the right amount of options. Try to save room for desert - good luck.

Head to this place to step back in time. It's family style seating in a tiny building way down south. The bbq is GOOD. My only complaint, if it is one, is that they finish it with too much sauce. I'd rather taste the pork rather than it be slathered in bbq sauce. I loved the collard greens and enjoyed the beans, but the corn soufflé was a little greasy. Overall, I'd order the spare ribs and the greens again. The service was great - I think I'd go nuts working there but they were all grace under pressure. It gets pretty toasty inside, so don't wear a jacket. The car picture is just for fun. :) I love VWs and there were 3 antiques parked outside. read more

This place was awesome, the food was DELICIOUS and I was worried the wait would be long because of how busy it was but they took my order quickly and had the food out within probably 15-20 minutes. I took my food to go but they had plenty of benches to sit on outside while waiting, and the inside looked nice. read more

I try to not visit South Florida unless I positively absolutely have to go there. Until today, I found the most amazing barbecue restaurant! Shivers BBQ!!! They have beef rib ribs. Yes, they have beef ribs. I know I was shocked, too. They also have corn nuggets!! I think I died and went to heaven. They are amazing. The service is phenomenal and the prices are fantastic!! If you're in South Florida visiting or live here you need to go to Shivers BBQ I think it makes living in South Florida almost worthwhile. They definitely will make it a little less painful. read more

We have been to Shiver's a few times and it never disappoints. The atmosphere here is always inviting despite the communal tables which is not my favorite type of tables. Most importantly the servers are always great and the food is always perfectly cooked and delicious. read more

This restaurant was highly recommended by my friends as some of the best BBQ in town, so I was really excited to pay a visit! Inside is a spacious barn-like atmosphere where there are lines of tables for people to sit. The time we went was not too busy, but I've been told normally there is a constant line of people waiting for seats outside. The food was amazing, so flavorful and fresh! My favorite appetizer starter is the fried Mac and cheese wedges - I will make sure to order this again! The catfish was well seasoned (not too salty and not too crispy either - bonus it was piping hot!) and the baby back ribs are delicious. The cornbread soufflé and cheesy hashbrown casserole are also worth trying, they're both so creamy. The only limitations to my visit were that they happened to be out of burnt ends for that day, which was something my friends really looked forward to eating. Also parking can be quite limited and it wasn't even packed that day (so I can only imagine rush hour here). All in all, I'll have to go back again to try these burnt ends and order all my favorite sides. But this was definitely a great visit for BBQ! Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

I have been there before. The last time I was there was 2025. I had a BBQ Chicken, Beef Rib, Fries and Coleslaw. I had a small order of Brisket and it was delicious! I love their Cornbread or the Soufflé! The one thing that I was disappointed in the Beef Ribs. It more like the Beef Back Ribs. The only reason for a 4. Otherwise, the service is excellent! The ambiance is Texas style. read more

Service was terrible, our waitress was on her phone, talking to everyone and we had to ask for things several times. We drove 45 minutes south to eat here since it was highly rated and recommended by a friend. We're going back to Mission BBQ. Better prices, wider selection of BBQ sauces, better corn bread and no need to tip a waitress. Even the key lime pie, who the waitress highly recommended since it was from "key west", was terrible. Not returning to shivers again. I think that place is popular in homestead because the options are limited. read more

We stopped by at around 5pm and there was no wait with a lot of seating available. The restaurant had large benches to seat all parties. The interior looked like a simple shop but air conditioned well to the point I felt like I needed a jacket. The bathroom also had its own very strong air conditioning unit. We both got the combos. My partner got baby back ribs and pulled pork with sides of hush puppies and bbq beans. I got wings and baby back ribs with hash brown casserole and cole slaw. The meats were good but the sides were all surprisingly cold. If not for the cold sides, I would've given the place a 4. read more

The food was amazing; however, the wait time was incredibly frustrating. I understand that Sundays can be busy, but it was disappointing to see several parties who arrived after us get their food at least 30 minutes before we did. By the time the third couple who came in after us was served, it was hard not to feel upset. We brought this to our server's attention more than once, and her response was dismissive--she simply said it wasn't her fault and that our order just took longer. While I appreciate the challenges of a busy shift, the service we received left a lot to be desired. The food is great, but the overall experience was affected by the lack of attention and communication. The people who got there after us finished before we got our meal and when our meal was served it was cold. Sigh... read more

Everything here is amazing you won't regret it, from the burnt ends to the corn bread shuffle

We came as a group from the community center, and we were treated terrible. They refused to give us individual checks. It took a nightmare to figure out how everybody could pay when someone came without cash. Some came of cash and they refused to be accommodating. We'll never come back again. The chicken tenders were fake chicken very disappointing. Save your money go somewhere else. The kids pork sandwich had two little slivers of pork on it. I'd leave zero stars if I could will never come back. read more

The best bbq I've had in a long time! Worth the drive from Broward everytime. The brisket is amazing!

Super causal family place to dine in. Picnic style seating. Friendly service and easy to order. Be prepared to eat. Food is so tasty, you really don't need the extra sauce but it's a plus. Our favorites after the burnt ends and pulled pork platter. Yum yum. read more

Could you not this is the best barbecue place I have gone to in a very long time. The building itself is awesome. The inside was really cool. There was a lot of different posters and things that you can enjoy while sitting down for lunch or dinner. The barbecue sauces they had for their food was really good as well as their pulled pork sandwiches, their ribs and everything else. I do highly recommend you getting a nice tea as well because that was also delicious. This is the type of place where you wanna go and just relax and eat your food and talk to others around the service by our waiter was awesome and they did a fantastic job, giving us options and changing things around for those of us who needed it to be changed read more

From the moment you step in the Shiver's you feel welcome. Seating is family style at long rows of picnic tables. We had read through the reviews and had some ideas of what we wanted to order, since we both wanted to try the burnt ends we went with the burnt ends meal with 2 sides, I chose green beans and cheesy hash brown casserole and my husband chose the pig trio with collard greens and barbecue beans. We shared the meats which were all delicious, perfectly tender with a wonderful smokey flavor. The cheesy hash browns were just like homemade with just the right balance of flavors and the collard greens were excellent with not too heavy of a vinegar taste. We elected to have the homemade banana pudding for dessert as a to go when we finally ate it it was good but not the best but very good. I would absolutely recommend Shiver's when you are wanting barbecue in the Homestead area. read more

Unfortunately this place has totally changed, today our order was put out to serve and it sat there for 17 mins before it was brought to us , obviously is was cold, they took it back and reheated, instead for serving a fresh dish and again it was put out to be served and the waitress ( heavy set lady with black hair ) was sitting while on her phone and wasn't bringing the food again so I had to get up and get it myself. After all that the ribs were dry and hard and lukewarm ( maybe because they reheated it in a microwave ). This is a NTR ( never to return ) restaurant. read more

First time going to a BBQ restaurant in this area and I am very impressed. Went on a Saturday and the wait was about 10 minutes. I loved how the restaurant inside felt very Southern and homey. Seating was community style picnic tables which means that another party could sit close. Ordered one meal to share and it was completely enough for two people even having left overs. The ribs were made to perfection as well as the cornbread souffl. Would definitely return to give the brisket a try. read more

Okay, long time traveler here saying flat out this place has some incredibly good food. Been in a lot of states and ate a lot of BBQ. This might be my new King of the Hill. Pulled up and opened the car door to a heavenly scent. Loved the campy feel and the picnic table seating. But the star of the show is the food and the staff as 1and 1a. Man, I'm going to miss this place. read more

Ordered the 2 chicken breast platter with two sides (cole slaw and beans). Wife ordered meal with french fries and fried okra. Both chicken breasts sent back ref over cooked and dry. The French fries and okras were hard from over cooking in grease. Beans over salted. I was charged for the two chicken platter-sides $3.99 each. Will not be returning guess i got a bad batch meal. The waitress was great she was tipped 20%. read more
