Best BBQ in Kendall, hands down. The brisket is smoked perfectly and the staff treats you like family. Patio is great for game day.

Tucked into a strip plaza off SW 130th Street in Kendall, Hate Mondays Tavern has built a loyal following as one of southwest Miami-Dade's go-to neighborhood barbecue joints. The vibe is unpretentious sports-bar — flatscreens on every wall, a long bar pouring craft beer and cocktails, and a covered patio where regulars bring their dogs. With a 4.8-star Google rating across 660+ reviews, it punches well above its price point.
Order the smoked brisket or the pulled-pork sandwich — both are the most name-checked dishes in Google reviews — and pair them with mac and cheese or burnt-end baked beans. The smash burgers have their own cult following, and Saturday breakfast brings a loaded breakfast burrito and steak-and-eggs crowd. The bar program leans American: bourbon flights, local drafts, and frozen cocktails.
Reservations are accepted for groups; walk-ins are the norm on weekdays. Parking is free in the plaza lot directly out front. The patio is dog-friendly and shaded, takeout and delivery are available by phone or third-party apps, and the kitchen serves through early evening Friday and closes mid-afternoon Saturday — a daytime BBQ stop, not a late-night one. Closed Monday and Sunday.

Came for weekend breakfast and stayed for the burgers. Smash burger is one of the best in Miami and the bloody marys are loaded.
★★★★★
Neighborhood gem. Dog-friendly patio, big-screen TVs, and the pulled pork sandwich is a steal at this price. Will be back.
