Reviews
I recently visited a BBQ smokehouse in West Palm after seeing it on Instagram, and I drove up from South Florida to try it out. The atmosphere was really nice and the staff was friendly. They let you order by scanning a barcode at your table or by going up to the bar. I had mixed feelings about that — my friend liked the convenience, but I personally prefer having a server take my order so I can ask questions about the menu and get a little more attention during the meal. We did notice that after the food came, no one really checked back on us. I waited about 20 minutes for to-go boxes before eventually getting up to ask for some. Now the food itself was really good. I absolutely loved the empanadas, the brisket, and the pulled pork sandwich. The cornbread was the only thing I didn’t care for. I also tried the cheese fries, turkey sandwich, collard greens, mac and cheese, and the chicken wings — which were huge! I even joked that the wings had a BBL. The sweet tea was also really good. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and I would definitely go back for another visit.
Can’t go wrong with anything you order here and the beer selection is top notch. And then you have the smash burger… is there a better burger in Palm Beach county, or all southeast Florida? Crispy and juicy patties, extra melted american cheese, house made pickles with a little kick, soft potato bun and the smoked bacon is to die for. I can go on and on but I’ll leave it there for now. Thank you 🙌
Although some might complain about the bbq not having a carolina vinegar taste, for me the latin fusion and taste of the briskets & Burgers are mind blowing! I love this place been here 3rd time here and its my new favorite place! Between the top shelf tequila, beer and blue music, this place is a must for their world famous smash burgers! Im not paid to review, i paid to eat! I go hungry leave happy! Picture says it all, parking is tough is the hardest part!
You scan the code and order from your phone at the table, and they bring your food to you with a self service condiment bar. We tried the hush puppies, chicken wings, kale salad, brisket, ribs, smash burger, fries, mac n cheese, cornbread and beans. The chicken wings were large and tasty, brisket a bit dry, kale salad good but tiny, ribs meh, mac n cheese not hot and bland, cornbread just dry, beans too smoky and needed a bit of sweetness imo. The fries are pale and soft, a few slightly crispy ones…we asked for crispy well done fries but the always come out the same way, pale soft and somewhat hot. The stars were the hush puppies and burger! The puppies come out crispy and piping hot, drenched in honey butter and the burger is perfection in one bite! Flavorful, with just the right amount of sauce, heat and onions.
This has been the most mild tasting bbq I’ve had in South Florida and I felt truly disappointed. I ordered a little bit of everything (see the receipt with the full order in the photos) and the star of all of this was the burger, which was excellent. Ribs were ok and so was the pulled pork and the sausage but everything else was DRY and overcooked, specially the brisket. I don’t know if that was a piece of the flat but even with a knife it was hard to cut through it, same with the beef rib. Portions are fine but overall, not worth the hype in my opinion, which is a shame but I was really looking forward to trying it.
