Sparky's Roadside Barbecue isn't all South Beach and fancy and pretentious and that's what makes it so easy to bop into on a weekday for lunch. Which is exactly what I did yesterday in between business tasks in downtown Miami. We arrived at 12:05 to an almost empty place which made me think about whether or not it was the right choice but by 12:20 every seat was filled and people were waiting for tables to free up.
Sparky's has been visited by the Burger Beast and Jeff Eats and there's a couple dated Chowhound threads on it so I'll let you click on those links to get a more complete review. For my part, I had the smoked chicken thigh platter with mac 'n cheese and baked beans and everything was out of this world. I tried my dining companion's waffle fries and they rocked the house. In addition, the service was friendly, quick and courteous even though the place was getting slammed.
Oh, and there's cool music.
Do yourself a favor and visit Sparky's. The food is superb and the ambiance is priceless.

oh, look, another place that SDFB loved! ;)
I like Sparky's too. Happy hour beer prices are great too.
All I can say is that I just flew from Brooklyn today... Prime reason for trip?
Sparky's pulled pork with a touch of LAVA sauce.
Only three hours to go. The wait is painful. You don't know how lucky you are down here!!!
Thanx for the recommendation. We're adding this to our "must do" list. =)
You and Fanless won't be disappointed, Balou.
Frod....touché.
