***** Smoke’t Southern Kitchen & Tap, 1450 South Dixie Highway, Coral Gables, Florida 33146, (305) 669-8338.

I’m now gonna tell you about a great and I do mean great “bbq” joint…Smoke’t Southern Kitchen & Tap located in Coral Gables.

First things first…check the joint’s website www.smoketbbq.com for menu/prices/photos. Trust me on this…the food tastes as good as the menu “reads.” Service is real good. Prices are reasonable.

A recent outing had me eating like a pig… just so you know entrees come with 2-sides—-rack of baby backs ($23.95)—bbq beef ribs ($14.95)—1/2 bbq chicken ($13.95)—pulled chicken/pulled brisket/pulled pork sliders (3 sliders with fries are gonna run you $9.95)—1/2 fried chicken ($12.25)— french fries—sweet potato fries…

I am telling you, the food is outrageously good. The bbq dishes are smoked, but not overly smoked…trust me, you’ll love this stuff. The fried chicken was absolutely dynamite…same goes for the sliders, each was on a nice soft bun-meat/chicken piled high/onion strings–side of french fries.

Let me do it this way…Smoke’t is one of the best bbq restaurants going. Cool decor, full bar, live music—terrific food.

Smoke’t is 7 days a week for lunch 11:30am-5:30pm and for dinner Sunday-Tuesday 5:30pm-1pm and Wednesday-Saturday 5:30pm-11pm.
