Here’s an unpopular opinion, Miami isn’t just good for its beaches or even its nightlife. There are amazing local shops and restaurants scattered all over South Florida, but for the sake of simplicity, I found at least 5 for you.

Scrubby’s

Last but not least!!! My all-time favorite barbeque restaurant is Scruby’s. It has anything you can think of at a barbeque and so much more!

Scrubby’s is a good family atmosphere with melt in your mouth to die for barbecue. It also has great sides like sweet potato fries, collard greens, cole slaw, and of course my favorite Garlic Toast.

Appetizers include jalapeno poppers and fried pickles. There are also a lot of barbeque dinner and rib combinations, as well as wraps.

I personally would recommend bringing your family or a group of friends here and perhaps order off the family dinner specials such as the Spare Rib for Two or the Tail Gate for Four.
