Lack of seasoning on the ribs, steak and chicken, bad is an understatement. Used to be good, not anymore, 18% service charge on top of bad food, not worth it. Stay away

This location has an 18% gratuity included that’s definitely not worth the service. Food here is amazing ! Kudos to the chef and kudos staff. But their servers could not care less, having the tip included, they didn’t even put an effort on the service they delivered. There was 3 ladys here this night, they were more into their own gossip that into taking the order or even checking on us. First she took 20 !!!! 20 minutes to even approach the table and take the order , they were killing the awesome vibe this place have with their extra loud gossip. I had the ribs and the nachos , nachos were ok but the ribs ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DELICIOUS GORGEOUS It comes with fries and coslaw. I definitely recommend ordering from this place. I loved the decoration but the service was so bad in the future ill do uber eats or any other food delivery so i can enjoy their ribs and other dishes without getting upset. I do recommend this place tho because you have to try this food.Vegetarian options: NoParking: Free parking, a few spaces, i think is enough tho i found 1 or 2 availableWheelchair accessibility: Yes

The pulled pork had that authentic hickory smoked flavor. The meat was tender and juicy, not dried out or overcooked. The pulled pork was lean, no big globs of fat.

We loved this atypical restaurant for us as French people on vacation. We were able to choose our place and opted for the terrace. There is a TV with a football match. The food is very good and the service very pleasant. We recommended this restaurant to a group of French people on vacation in Miami because it really deserves a visit. This is our favorite of the ones we tested. Thank you for this good time.

All in all this was a place that I’ve been wanting to come check out for decades. Never had for one reason or another. Disappointed is an understatement. Food was terrible. Quality was sub par missed the temps and the brisket felt 3 days old. Side were just as bad. Corn bread was dry and Mac annd cheese was bland annd definitely instant. Avoid at all costs. Oh and they are nice enough to add a service charge on the check.

I’d give it more than five stars if I could. Excellent! Even arrived quick and hot from Uber Eats! No photos honestly because it was so good I didn’t even have time to take photos.

Sunday around 3:45 pm. I am from the area so I drop in on Tom’s after over 16 yrs coming here. I was impressed! Good food pretty good service! Yea I’m not going to let 16 yrs go by again.

Disappointing! No BBQ joint; we had baked potato, brisket and corn bread, and all was dry and reheated. The potato was definitely a work of the microwave, the brisket was dry and reheated on a grill (could see the stripes), the over seasoned corn bread was probably the only really fresh thing there. The burnt ends appetiser was maybe from the day(s) before, but definitely not fresh. You can tell, that Uncle Tom's has seen better times, and in the evening it serves only as a places for local Latino workers to have a beer after work, that's it. Definitely can'T explain how this place makes it into any lists for recommended BBQ places. Maybe around noon the meat is fresh, but avoid it in the evening at all costs. Because it is expensive, and tasteless, even more so in the evening.

I cannot in good conscience recommend Old Uncle Tom’s Barbecue for barbecue. I ordered the beef brisket. It was dry, chewy, and lacked flavor, and you could see the fresh grill marks on each slice where they reheated it. Also, there was a salty brown gravy on it. The sides: slaw and fries and BBQ sauce were good.
