Hometown Barbecue

Hometown Barbecue brings the craft of authentic pit-smoked meats to Miami's gritty, industrial Allapattah neighborhood, nestled inside the Miami Produce Center. Founded by Brooklyn pitmaster Billy Durney, this warehouse-chic restaurant earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its exceptional value and quality — a rare feat for a BBQ joint in South Florida.

The cavernous space features an open kitchen, a long fully-stocked bar, communal dining tables, and a sprawling patio perfect for Miami's year-round outdoor weather. The menu centers on Texas-style smoked meats: a hulking beef rib crusted in salt and black pepper, melt-in-your-mouth brisket, and fall-off-the-bone spare ribs.

Miami locals will also find wood-fired dishes and Latin-inflected sides like elote and yuca alongside classics like Frito pie and house-made cornbread. With craft beer, seasonal cocktails, and wine by the glass, Hometown BBQ is just as much a great bar as it is a destination restaurant.

Priced at $$ with free parking, it's accessible for everyone.
