Don’t you just love those restaurants that you can smell coming from a mile away? We have a place like that in Florida. The type of place where if you’re nearby you can roll your windows down, take a deep inhale, and let the soothing smell of Southern, sweet barbecue wash over you. Some have dubbed it the best barbecue in the state, others…the best all around. But you’ll have to be the judge of that.
Shiver’s BBQ has been family-owned and operated in Homestead, Florida for over 60 years.
Expect to find Shiver’s packed with people, especially on weekends when there is nothing like chowing down on barbecue, sipping on a cold beer, and taking your time with your family.
Perhaps what makes Shiver’s so popular is that it promotes casual atmosphere, where families can come as they are and unite over a love of delicious barbecue.
Some patrons have claimed that Shiver’s is hands down the best barbecue they have ever had—not just in Florida, but outside of St. Louis, Memphis, and Kansas City.
It’s not just pulled pork sandwiches, tender ribs, slow roasted brisket and a bevy of side options, but it’s the corn nuggets and burnt ends and BBQ cheese fries that round out the menu.
The address for Shiver’s BBQ is 28001 S Dixie Hwy, Homestead, FL 33033. The hours are from Sunday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Also, while you’re in the Homestead area, we have a one-of-a-kind historic tropical trail that you’ll want to check out.
