Miami New TimesJuly 27, 2014Uncle Tom's reopened in June 2014 with a menu full of authentic pit barbecue items like brisket ($10.95), baby-back ribs ($19.95), and chicken ($9.95). Great barbecue at a good price.- Meyvelines GomezJuly 4, 2014Food was pretty good. Had the pulled pork sandwich and it was great. From the old reviews it seems like they are getting back to there roots.
Charlie MonteleoneAugust 25, 2011Great lunch! Can't go wrong with any lunch item, the waitresses all work together and are very easy on the eyes.
Jason IbarraMay 27, 2013disappointing to hear this place WAS old school southern. it should be called Tio Tom's Cuban BBQ Fusion. the pork sandwich was Cuban pork (mojo) with BBQ sauce on a potato roll.
Tony JuliusJune 8, 2013Place is under new mgt removing some of the items. Going back to its roots!!!
Justin GileadNovember 4, 2010This place has been here forever. It changed hands a few years ago and became much more Hispanic. For decades, however, this was the only old school southern BBQ place around. Still tasty though.
Sharon WatsonSeptember 2, 2014Good BBQ but way too loud.... Uncomfortably so, with the sound system for all the tv's. Can't talk at the table very well
Alex TrigoJune 17, 2012Been a miamian all my life and driven by a million times. Heard it was good back in the 80's, but don't waste your time. Food is horrible. Got the baby back ribs and i think i can make better ribs.
LROKK PADILLAJuly 20, 2012The thre chicks that work here look good. Food aint so bad, and they also offer cuban food aside from the BBQ
Ana KarinaOctober 30, 2011Bad service and sad food. Do NOT visit this joint. I thought it was a "Cracker Barrel" style restaurant but its just a low quality cuban place, you can go anywhere else for better Cuban food.
Anthony RodriguezJuly 6, 2013It's a shame but there was a fire in the kitchen here today and this place burnt down. May this piece of Miami history RIP.
Daniel GarciaJanuary 18, 2011I've visited this place a few times now and with every visit the service keeps getting worst and worst! Food felt average as well. Hope these are not signs of where the rest. is headed.
RobertJanuary 12, 2013As far as the food, I've had better and I've had worse. The service is horrible. In my opinion, don't eat here
Tiffany W.August 9, 2014Yuck, yuck and YUCK. BBQ sauce was gross so we didn't order. Even the brewed tea was mediocre.
