Ahh, barbecue. The taste of warm weather. The deliciousness that feeds the soul and warms the belly. While barbecue restaurants in Florida might not be as popular as some other states in the South, that doesn’t mean there aren’t spots that are a must when you pass through the state. Everyone loves a good roadside barbecue spot, especially on those long road trips. And while this teeny tiny BBQ spot might not be as big as some of the others, it sure comes through with flavor and finesse.

Sparky’s Roadside Barbecue in Miami, Florida has quite the following throughout the country, despite being such a small spot.
