Bulldog Barbecue 

Located on Biscayne Boulevard in North Miami, Bulldog Barbecue is a no frills barbecue joint boasting treats so tasty your glands will salivate, all cooked up by our celebrity chef/owner Howie “Bulldog” Kleinberg. Acquired during his stint on Top Chef Miami where his bold – to put it nicely – attitude earned him the nickname, the Bulldog namesake stuck, and our restaurant concept was born.

Our star Bulldog fell hard for barbecue after spending summers in North Carolina as a pup. He now enhances the down-to-earth fare with a few of the hautey tautey cooking techniques and ingredients he picked up cooking alongside some the nation’s best chefs. After the Top Chef competition, Howie set his mind to pursue his culinary dream. In February 2009, just under two years later, we opened our doors and have been smokin’ ever since.

At Bulldog Barbecue, we may not adorn our tables with flowers or dress our servers in ties, but we get serious: serious about plating up the best North Carolina-style ‘cue you’ve tasted this far south, serious about having a great selection of gulps, including lemonade made to order, root beer floats and ice cream sodas, beers, wines by the glass and Champagne cocktails, and serious about providing fast, friendly service. No white tablecloths here, you’ll sit at the butcher paper-covered tables or the stainless steel bar and pull from a roll of paper towels to wipe the sauce from your face. We insist you come as you are, dig in deep and stay as long as you like… as long as you leave happy and come back with friends, our dogs will remain tame.
