Shorty’s BBQ isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place where tradition is served with every meal. For over 70 years, we’ve been honored to bring the time-honored art of authentic Southern BBQ to South Florida, using age-old techniques passed down through generations. Our roots run deep, and every dish we serve tells a story of family, craftsmanship, and a commitment to the rich, smoky flavors that make BBQ a celebration of life itself. From our award-winning, fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs to our melt-in-your-mouth brisket, every bit at Shorty’s BBQ is a reflection of years of tradition, perfected over fire, wood, and patience.
Pit BBQ pork, chicken & beef is the draw at this funky Western-themed venue of a regional chain.

My wife and I stopped in on Wednesday night for dinner. The service here was awesome. We ordered alot of food because it was our first time here. The dinner crowd was definitely a older bunch ( mostly around 60). The brisket was overcooked and not tender at all it came with grilled chicken that we upgraded to all white meat for a dollar it was tasty. We also ordered a cheeseburger, sausage, and corn. We finished it off with the only in house dessert they offered which was key lime pie. Overall it was nice experience.

I’ve been to Shorty’s BBQ in Davie several times, and overall it’s a solid spot. The food is consistent, and the corn on the cob is really good — definitely one of my favorite sides there. The place has a casual, laid-back vibe that makes it easy to stop by for a relaxed meal. It’s a good option when you’re craving BBQ and want something familiar and satisfying.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Shorty‘s in Davie for ribs. And eating there the other day reminded me that I need to go back more. The half rack of ribs was right off the bone delicious. Juicy, tender, and oh that barbecue sauce yummy. It makes me feel like I’m in Texas with the interior decor. fun place to go and eat.

Went to Shorty’s for a late night bbq craving and dudeeeee this was 10/10. Got the mozzarella (cause I’m a kid at heart, and the cheese pull hit the spot) along with the burnt ends for apps and almost stuffed ourselves with the burnt ends and didn’t eat the actual mains.
For the mains, got the brisket platter and the half order of the baby back ribs – ribs were fall off the bone and the brisket was moist, both were smokey and so flavorful.
Service was excellent!! Hostess Princess was so bubbly (def could be a server in the future) and was waited on by Nadia who was incredibly kind and gave great menu recommendations – Both were wonderful to be around!

Really great BBQ place with a lot of variety from ribs to brisket and sandwiches.
Service was good and friendly. We ordered the platter which is huge! It had basically all the meats from ribs, sausage, brisket, chicken and side dishes of coleslaw, beans, and garlic Bread.
The food was very good and large portion sizes, enough to share.
You absolutely must have the Butter corn !
I would definitely recommend you check this place out if you enjoy Bbq.

Haven’t been to Shorty’s in years. Happy to report it’s still great! Lots of affordable lunch specials. We got two half racks for $29 with sides included (baked potato, corn bread, cole slaw & corn). Safe to say it was a LOT of food. BBQ sauce was on point. Ribs were good but was hoping for more fall off the bone action. Friendly service. Recommend you try it out if you haven’t already & come hungry!

I have eaten here a few times over the years. Good bbq, pretty good ribs, even good chicken & fish. It’s rustic looking, but plenty of tv’s to watch sports. They also have frozen bananas covered in chocolate whether just the chocolate, or other options like peanuts, rainbow sprinkles, coconut, & strawberries. Pepsi products, as well as tea, lemonade, & fruit punch.

Shorty’s BBQ in Davie is a local staple that delivers classic, smoky barbecue in a laid-back, family-friendly setting. Their baby back ribs are char-grilled with their signature sweet BBQ sauce. The combo platters are generous, pairing favorites like brisket, pulled pork, and hickory-smoked chicken with sides such as coleslaw and golden fries. The atmosphere is nostalgic and welcoming, and the service is friendly.
