Miami has no shortage of great eats, but when it comes to barbecue, there’s a new king of the smoke pit — Apocalypse BBQ in West Kendall.
This unassuming spot, located on SW 124th Avenue near N. Kendall Drive, is redefining barbecue in the 305 with bold flavors, Cuban flair, and a vibe that keeps people lining up — sometimes for hours — just to get a taste.
First things first: Come early. On weekends, lines stretch out the door and waits can run up to four hours. That alone speaks volumes. People aren’t waiting for food that’s just good — they are waiting for barbecue worth every minute. And Apocalypse delivers, plate after plate.
From the moment you arrive, the courteous, knowledgeable staff run like a well-oiled machine. Whether it’s your first visit or your 15th, the energy is personal and passionate. Every order comes out fast, fresh, and hot, with no detail overlooked — from meat temperature to sauce pairings.
Now, about the meat. The star of the show? Brisket bacon. Picture ultra-tender brisket seasoned with coarse black pepper, smoked until it nearly melts at the touch. Salty, smoky, and kissed with a hint of sweetness, it pairs with Apocalypse’s house-made mojo mustard — a tangy, golden sauce that could be bottled as liquid gold.
The Cafecito Ribs aren’t far behind. Glazed with the signature Oro Negro BBQ sauce — crafted with over 300 Cuban coladas per batch — this sticky, sweet-savory glaze layers espresso, molasses, and smoke over ribs that fall clean off the bone.
Don’t miss the sides. The Skull Cornbread, baked in skull molds and dusted with flaky salt, is moist, buttery, and slightly sweet — the kind of dish that sparks table fights for the last bite.
With bold flavors, flawless execution, and creative flair, it’s no wonder Apocalypse BBQ is being hailed as Miami’s best barbecue — and maybe even one of the top spots in the world.
So whether you are a barbecue purist or a flavor adventurer, line up early. Apocalypse BBQ isn’t just serving food — it’s serving a movement.
Apocalypse BBQ is located at 8695 SW 124 Ave, Miami, FL 33183. Open Wednesday–Sunday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. (Closed Monday and Tuesday).
