The End of an Era at Dadeland. The Tradition Lives On.
Since 1951, Shorty’s BBQ has been part of South Florida’s story. For 75 years, generations of families have gathered around our tables to enjoy great BBQ, celebrate special moments, and create memories that last a lifetime.
As we prepare to say goodbye to our iconic US 1 Dadeland location, we want to thank everyone who has been part of our journey.
Our Dadeland location’s last day of business will be Sunday, December 27, 2026.
But don’t worry — Shorty’s BBQ isn’t going anywhere! We’re still smoking, still serving, and still bringing you the BBQ you’ve loved for generations.

75 Years of Memories. What’s Your Story?
Every family has a Shorty’s story. Help us celebrate 75 years by sharing your favorite memories, stories, and photos. Email them to bayley@shortys.com.
Before we say goodbye to Dadeland, come visit us one more time, enjoy your favorite BBQ, and make a few more memories with us.
And the tradition continues beyond our restaurants! Our Catering & Events team is ready to bring the Shorty’s BBQ experience to your next gathering or special occasion. Contact catering@shortys.com.
Thank you, Miami, for 75 incredible years!
We look forward to welcoming you at our other locations and making many more memories together.
Shorty’s BBQ — Still Smokin’. Still Serving. Since 1951.
