Barbecue 58 - Doral

The soup had a sour taste, and the sandwich had an unusual flavor.

The service was satisfactory, but the food was rather mediocre. I found the coconut mojito to be quite disappointing. Although they promote their ribs, I thought they were just average. The sauce was fine, but the meat didn't have the tenderness I expected from something advertised as being slow-cooked for 12 hours. On a positive note, the patio dining area by the canal is really pleasant.

The food was just mediocre and quite overpriced. However, the artists were fantastic. Unfortunately, the staff came across as passive-aggressive and overly intense, which I didn’t appreciate. As for the manager or owner—I'm not sure what her role was—I found her unwelcoming and not pleasant at all. Overall, I won’t be returning or recommending this place.

The food was great! There was a nice variety, and everything was very tasty. The restaurant is small but cozy and charming. We dined indoors on both occasions, but it looked like they had a lovely outdoor area by the small lake.

I typically stay away from writing negative reviews about local or family owned businesses. However, I cannot believe the nerve of this place to charge what they do for food. It 's not about being able to afford the food, its simply a matter of principle. We had two $19 sandwiches and one soda, which was canned. They charged $3.50 for a canned Coke. I should have known immediately that we were in the wrong place as soon as we learned that didn 't have fountain drinks. Nevertheless, the food was decent at best. I ordered the Sandwich De Costillita, which was basically a fancy McRib. I would have loved to have tried the ribs or chicken, but at $39.99 for a full rack, it just isn 't fiscally responsible. With that said, I would understand if you are thinking, Just because you think it 's too expensive, doesn 't mean its not a good restaurant . Here 's the thing, no matter where you eat, on South Beach or Cutler Ridge, you ALWAYS have to feel like it was worth it. This place even automatically charged a Service Charge of 18% for two of us. If the owner called me personally and offered a free meal, I wouldn 't make the drive. Good luck to Barbecue 58, they 'll need it!
