Hands down the best brisket I've had in Miami. Real smoke ring, perfect bark, and the portions are huge for the price. The mac and cheese is a must.

The place
B&D Trap BBQ is a barbecue restaurant at 200 E Flagler Street in Downtown Miami, Florida. The kitchen smokes brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and turkey over wood and serves them with classic Southern sides. The menu features loaded BBQ plates, sandwiches, and family-style platters built for sharing. The restaurant holds a 4.8-star Google rating across 134 reviews, with diners praising the tender brisket, generous portions, and friendly service. B&D Trap BBQ offers dine-in, takeout, and delivery through major third-party apps. The Flagler Street location places it within walking distance of Bayfront Park, the Miami-Dade Government Center, and the Metromover Government Center station, making it a convenient lunch stop for downtown workers and visitors.
Tucked into the heart of Downtown Miami on Flagler Street, B&D Trap BBQ brings slow-smoked Southern barbecue to a neighborhood better known for Cuban sandwiches and high-rise lunch counters. The counter-service spot has built a loyal following on the strength of its wood-smoked meats and street-level convenience — you can grab a tray on a lunch break and be back at your desk in twenty minutes.
Order the brisket — it's the most-mentioned item in Google reviews, sliced thick with a peppery bark and visible smoke ring. Pulled pork, smoked turkey, and St. Louis-style ribs round out the meat lineup, and combo plates let you sample two or three proteins with sides like mac and cheese, collard greens, and baked beans. Loaded BBQ bowls, brisket sandwiches, and family packs are the most popular orders.
The dining room is casual and counter-service; no reservations are needed. Street parking is metered along Flagler and Miami Avenue, with paid garages nearby on NE 1st Street. Takeout is the default, and delivery is available through Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub. The Bayfront Park Metromover station is one block away, which makes transit access easier than driving in for many downtown diners.
What to expect
Expect a casual, counter-service barbecue stop in the middle of Downtown Miami's office corridor. Order at the counter, watch your tray get assembled from the smoker, and either eat in or take it to go. Portions are generous, prices land in the $$ range, and the brisket is the headline. Lunch rushes between 12 and 1pm move fast — staff are quick and the line clears.

What people are saying
Stumbled in on a lunch break and now I'm a regular. The pulled pork sandwich is messy in the best way and the staff are super friendly. Quick service even at noon.
Authentic Southern barbecue right in downtown — wasn't expecting that. Ribs were fall-off-the-bone and the collard greens taste like my grandma's. Will be back.
