Where to get barbecue in Doral: smokehouses and open-fire grills

Last checked Oct. 9, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Doral has two American barbecue restaurants, Famous Dave’s near CityPlace Doral on NW 36th Street and Mission BBQ on NW 41st Street (Doral Boulevard), and two restaurants that grill meat over open fire in the South American way: a Brazilian rodizio on NW 25th Street and an Argentine steakhouse at Miami International Mall on NW 107th Avenue.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside the Doral city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 9, 2026. We added Miami to Brazil Rodizio from the state’s restaurant inspection records and confirmed it on its own site. Several Latin grills in Doral have no website we could read, so they are not listed here. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it.
