    I. AM. OBSESSED. Get a reservation because you'll be waiting a while for a table.. but that's NO PROBLEM, just go upstairs and get your alcohol fix with Robert, the AMAZING bartender!!! Everything about this place is MAGICAL.... MAGICAL I TELL YOU! From the impeccable service, to the perfectly portioned, deliciously seasoned, and perfectly cooked food to the overall feel and atmosphere of the restaurant.... this place is amazing. We went on Friday night and ate so much we had no room for dessert... so of course we came back on Saturday! The bartender remembered us and even came to our table to say hi and talk about a cocktail my friend mentioned the night before, and we got lucky and sat in the same area as the night before and had our AMAZING waiter again! We had the Sticky Icky Bun... and all I have to say about that is... WOW. He explained it and I wasn't all that into it, but he brought it out anyway and I'm so glad he did! Heaven in your mouth! Needless to say... we made another reservation for this upcoming Friday with out favorite waiter... Swine is our new bff! Love this place, and everything it stands for. SO happy to have a restaurant like this near my house! :D OH..... and the music is AMAZING! love love LOVE

    I'm quite the fan of 50 Eggs establishments. Yard Bird on the beach is pretty hard to beat. But Swine holds up its end of the bargain. Deliciously interesting dishes and cocktails. Dinner was tasty and included brisket and mac and cheese but brunch was even better! I had country-fried bacon and waffles. Yes, fried bacon... mmmm bacon!!!! There also happened to be bacon in my bloody mary, which I was not upset about.

    Probably the best place in the Gables - and the bar is the best around. Let's start with the atmosphere, it is very old fashioned country and has a lot of warmth to it. Valet is pretty easy and reasonable - there is also plenty of street parking. The bar in the front makes some incredible cocktails. The bartenders spend a lot of extra time making some specialty drinks - most of which I have not seen before. The food was EXCELLENT - starting with the best corn bread I have ever had. I LOVED the Grilled Gem salad. The combination of bacon with blue cheese was perfect. Something I have never had before was the Angus Burnt Ends. They were excellent and portion was nice sized. I highly recommend sharing everything as an entree. The Seared Diver Scallop and the Brisket are going to be the signature dishes. I've had many briskets and I would say this one was (almost) as good as Moms. Leave a little room for desserts. They must have a pastry chef - because they have plenty of cookies and cakes on the menu. I recommend the chocolate cake. Also, the ice creams are unique. Very impressed the first time around - I look forward to the next time.

    What an amazing experience. Everything we ate and drank was delicious. Totally recommend to everyone. We had the pig, sirloin, corn bread, mac and cheese and burnt ends. Omg, all was so good we can't stop taking about it. Go enjoy!

    The upstairs is a fun place to chill for a big group. Our server was Roly that evening and he was excellent. My favorite is the Mac n cheese with bacon bits! My friend Jannette loved the cornbread and short ribs. You can't go wrong with bacon as the main attraction!

  • Dania G.

    This is now my favorite restaurant. I usually don't like Mac and cheese but their's is to die for. The burnt ends are delicious and the duck is amazing. Finally the dessert was like a cinnamon bun with ice cream. It was orgasmic. The ambience and service was also great.

    I came in on a monday for brunch, but reached way before my group... Most places make you stand outside before opening hours; not here, the Manager asked if I wanted to wait inside, I went inside as you walk in you're no longer in the Gables, you just got transported to what feels like a southern barn house. The Ambiance is excellent, Service is superb, the food is excellent, but the prices are a little steep! I don't mind paying the price but when it comes to pulled pork sandwich $14-15 is a bit much especially for brunch!

    I recently gave their lunch menu a try and have been converted... Those brisket sliders, thick cut fries, and swine burger were definitely something to write home about. I would definitely come back for lunch!

    These guys are geniuses. But they miss in this one Yardbird kong. Great food great service We live in sobe so we trekked to coral gables Burnt ends were indeed burned and cold. The clams were great and the broccoli was sweet Then came the ribs cold burned and dry Why? We had two waiters a girl and a guy girl was lazy I ordered a bourbon and eventually she said we don't have it ordered a different one and the one they didn't have and I didn't get was months bill I asked for Tabasco and she did the " we don't have any" I asked the guy and sure enough they had some Beers were good. But worth the trek no.....needs work. And the food really needs work even by the ve Ty low miami standards Beware

  • Elle M.

    I love Yardbird, but I am not a huge fan of BBQ. If this applies to you, just go to Swine! IT IS AMAZING. Normally, I try not to focus too much on the service, cause I believe restaurants with excellent food should have great ratings even if the services is not 100% ideal. However, in this case I decided to make an exception. Both times I have been to Swine the service has been impecable! The waiters are so attentive and the management is constantly walking around talking to customers and making sure they have everything they need. The food was amazing! Nothing has ever been just "okay" at swine, it was all perfect. Brisket, Ribs, Mac and cheese, burnt ends, pig ear salad, hushpuppies - all PERFECT! Cannot wait to try their brunch!

    I'd been wanting to try this place out for a while since it's located on a main avenue and I kept seeing it when I was in the area. First off, I recommend making reservations if you want try this place out. I was a walk-in with my wife and had to come back an hour later. They do text you when the table is ready unlike other places. This place was good but not Great. Service was on the bottom of the list, our server never seemed to show up to check on our drinks or if we needed anything else. Got my $15 drink after I had 3/4 of my dinner and I got it because I reminded the waitress. I really should have just taken it out because it was bad. I had the Mexican and it was like a peach iced tea with a hint of tequila. We also shared the shoulder and Mac. The meat was good and tasty but had more fat than meat. The Mac and cornbread were good but nothing to write home about. The place is trendy and great atmosphere for a date but not good enough for a second date.

    I know we were all excited for this place to open, but definitely do not recommend for lunch if you are on a timed lunch...at least not yet. My coworkers (3) and I got there no later than 12:10p for lunch and were asked to wait 15 mins. Fine. The bar staff were really nice while we waited and told us their favorite dish and offered water. 20 mins later we still didn't have a table and had to leave disappointed. The thing is they had available seating upstairs, not sure if that's for VIP. I'm going to give it another try sometime later this year, and I really hope to actually try the deliciousness everyone talks about. Swine just wasn't on time.

  • Katherine S.

    **Update** The management was severely apologetic and refunded my party's entire tab. I think I'm going to give this place a little more time to get the wait staff issues fixed but overall, I'm very impressed with their attempt to recover us as customers and look forward to dining there in the future. I'll give them a 4 at this point -- stay tuned. Original: A laughably bad experience. I'm not mad only because no one got sick or died. Drinks: The only reason to go! We ordered the penicillin and it was phenomenal. Unfortunately, it was so good that a fly chose to expire in one of our cocktails. I understand that these things happen but it should not have taken 20 minutes for the drink to be re-served. Food: Swordfish was cooked unevenly and undercooked -- potentially dangerous, rookie mistake and a $26 let-down. Also, $9 for "shared" grits which is NOT enough for two adults is ridiculous. $8 swine hash was VERY good but too greasy and made me sick afterwards. $4 for a glass of sweet tea which was brought unsweetened? WTF bro, that's not what I would call southern hospitality. Service: Our waiter was either high or needed to get high. He had no idea what he was doing, put in the wrong food and order, made bullsh*t excuses for everything and took 30 minutes to get us our check. Thank goodness his colleagues tried to pick up the slack otherwise we would have left before the meal was over. As a southerner originally from northwest Florida, I am NEVER going back to this poorly-run establishment. If I want legitimate southern food, I'll go to Chuck Wagon (where I can buy four meals for the price of one at Swine) or spend the $110 my friends and I spent on a crappy meal for gas money to Savannah so we can get something edible.

    Been here twice. Once for drinks, the second time for brunch. Impressed by both the bar menu and the brunch food. Service was quick. Pancakes with Blueberries, Blackberries and Bourbon Maple Syrup were amazing, as was the Mac n' Cheese. And, you can't beat the ambience. This is the nicest looking restaurant/bar in the Gables, and nothing about it leaves you disappointed.

  • Rick D.

    The food here is great!! Having lived in North Carolina for 20-some years, it brought back memories of wonderful southern cooking. The tastes here are amazing and also unique to Miami, which doesn't have many southern restaurants. The service here was good. The wait staff is knowledgable, friendly and attentive. Can only give 3 stars because of uncomfortable furniture and the high prices. But hey, I guess if Southern cuisine is a rarity for you, then the prices are worth the opportunity for you to try this delicious food.

  • Nora C.

    Very noisy. Overpriced for what they serve. Weak, expensive ($16) drinks. Definitely avoid the fatty $40 - 1/2 duck for two. We would not go back.

  • Cynthia L.

    Came with a couple of friends for breakfast. There are several items on the breakfast menu that are also on the dinner menu so it's not strictly breakfast food only which was nice because I'm not always in the mood for just eggs and such. Everything we ordered was great. The bacon in the bacon and waffles was to die for! The brisket was a little fatty but great flavor. The service was also very good, attentive but not overbearing. Would def recommend to anyone. If I could give half stars I'd give 4.5.

  • Jessica B.

    Came for Sunday brunch with my hubby, glad I had my reservations because the restaurant got packed pretty quick. The place is gorgeous love the lighting and the airy flow throughout the place. The waiters are really friendly and the service was great. I couldnt decide what to eat so asked the waiter and he was very helpful. We started with the pastry basket which had cherry scone, cornbread with a jalapeno kick to it, banana muffin filled with cream and lemon pound cake it was all amazing...then i had the pork belly quiche and the mac and cheese. my husband had the farm egg and maple sausage sandwich and we both did not enjoy that, Cant wait to try burger and other menu items, will be going back soon. FYI cappucino $6.00 2 sips of coffee only.. My only suggestion is if youve been to yardbird and tried the mac and cheese then try something else because its the same. Next time ill try the hush puppies instead.

  • Madelyn F.

    Yes, It's only been open for a week, and yes, I've only been once, but my visit to this little gem in the Gables made my heart happy! The ambiance is down-home barnyard chic. The lighting is beautiful and the decor makes you feel right at home immediately when you walk in. They have two bars, a smaller one upstairs and one larger one downstairs, both serving whiskey-frisky drinks. The food was fantastic. My friend and I ordered the cornbread served with honey butter and blackberry preserves. We tried the 5-cheese Mac & Cheese and then shared the 14-hour Brisket... which was HEAVEN in my mouth. The brisket is served with pickled okra, coleslaw and sweet potato bread all on the side. The rest of the menu looked great too, and I'll be going back for the shrimp & grits, pork and beans and the ribs. We ordered the homemade apple pie with buttermilk ice cream for dessert, which offered a nice finish to our great, down-home meal. Overall, the place is gorgeous, the staff is friendly and the food is delicious. It's hog-heaven! I can't wait to go back.

    What more can I say excellent service something rarely found anywhere in Miami well this is coral gables after all. The mixologist was amazing and the food flawless. Burgers were juicy and biscuits extremely southern.

  • Ernie A.

    Bring stretch pants! Not one bad thing on the menu. Save room for dessert (hard to do). Drinks a must. Guess I'm not allergic to this Penicillin. Thanks to Juanita the bartender. Jason the waiter was so helpful for us party of 6 first-timers. Think he was fattening us for a sacrifice later.

  • Michael S.

    Food was amazing. Brisket was perfectly cooked. Pork was tender. We tried 6 dishes and everyone was happy. Great atmosphere. Cant wait to return.

  • Eddy D.

    This new wave kitchen/bar restaurant is on the rise. Nothing is more frustrating than when you have to wait 2 hours for a table, unless there are two top notch bars to help. Take a moment to check out the photos at this place. Swine is down to the core a fantastic atmosphere to enjoy outstanding BBQ, all while having a quasi ultra lounge feel in the heart of the south. Highly suggest giving this place a shot. Good food good drinks.

  • Stephanie D.

    Not all it is hyped up to be. Food is OKAY at most. Nothing out of this world. Cool atmosphere. Other than that not worth it. Terrible service. The restaurant is also very cramped. The peach cobbler was way too sweet. The burnt ends were the best thing we had. The ribs are terrible. Just not worth it to spend $160 for two on barbecue. So many other good barbecue places in Miami. This one is just not worth it.

  • Thomas S.

    Came here for brunch and loved it. Very authentic, southern style restaurant/bar - amazing wood decor, lighting, etc Endless bloody marys and bottomless mimosas. They have fantastic brunch options, omelets, pulled pork & eggs, so many great options! Definitely recommend this spot!

  • Lissette P.

    YES. YES.YES. Delicious. Had this place bookmarked for a while. My husband and I have been debating the perfect time to make time to drive 30 miles south (from Pines) to visit this restaurant. So glad that we finally did, being that my birthday is next week - this was a bit of a "treat". We arrived for brunch on a Saturday morning. LOVE the decor, the wood planks on the walls and ceiling, the little touches that make you feel like you are part of southern country living- but you are still in Miami. The hostess greeted us but didn't seem too cheerful to be at work....she was however, very helpful in helping us with a booster seat and getting us accommodated at our table at the front of the restaurant. This really nice guy immediately came over and filled our glasses with water (I love when severs do that!) After a few minutes debating on which starter to try we decided on the Jalapeño Cornbread. Four absolutely delicious cornbreads wrapped in a cutesy paper and kept warm in a white linen napkin, served with a delicious and rich maple butter and berry jam. What a way to start our meal! While the cornbread was yummy, I must say it was not "hot" or "spicy" at all; this may or may not be a good thing depending on your preference. Also there was one little piece of bacon discovered inside one of the little cornbreads - more bacon would of been a nice surprise. :/ Our plates arrived shortly after finishing the cornbreads. I ordered the Smoked Brisket and Eggs served with hash brown casserole. Absolutely delicious! The brisket was of course juicy, with smoky flavor, and with just the right amount of fat ( of course it's bad for you but oooooh soooo good !) Eggs were cooked perfectly sunny side up. The hash brown casserole had too many onions in my opinion. My husband ordered the Swine Burger which was a bit of a disappointment. With all the #foodporn I'd seen about this "Swine Burger" I had high expectations... And it was just ok. The best thing about the burger was actually the pickled onions but the meat itself was not at all flavorful especially since it's made with short rib, brisket, and smoke pork-I've had better. I won't return for the burger- BUT we will be back to have more of the brisket, try the burnt ends and see what else their dinner menu offers.

    Fall off the bone ribs check Shrimp and grits one of the best I've ever had Burnt pork ends with a creamy cornbread goodness OMG Brussle sprouts must try. I can not wait to go back. The rustic feel was a nice change to the while Miami picture. I can't wait to go back!

  • Lucinda N.

    I came here for Fourth of July to chow down on some ribs. Since I have been to a few other restaurants by 50 Eggs and enjoyed them, I came in with high expectations of the food. When I walked in, I absolutely loved the design! The restaurant is beautiful, with a weathered, rustic, farm type of feel. We had reservations, but it wasn't particularly busy, and we were seated right away on the second floor. I ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs, a side of french fries, and like a true southerner, sweet tea. I really enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere! The french fries were absolutely delicious! The ribs had a different texture and flavor than what I have typically had, but they were meaty and pretty yummy. Our server was nice, and the food came out in good time. Although Swine is a bit on the pricier side, it is an enjoyable experience and I'll definitely go back to try a few more things on the menu! It's difficult not to compare it to Yardbird, but it definitely has its own charm!

  • Jacqueline M.

    Wow! I'm just going to dive into the foodie talk. I ordered the country fried bacon and waffles. We're talking thick country fried smoked bacon with cheddar cheese waffles, watermelon, honey hot sauce and bourbon maple syrup! I dont even like bacon but oh swiiiine...why do you do this? Now I think I like it...ugh! Homemade cornbread - jalapeño, cheddar and bacon...I didn't even try the jam or butter with it cause it was good all by itself. Last item on my comfort food list...the Mac & Cheese! Crispy crust with little bacon bits. What normally would seem heavy and unappealing to me was actually saying eat meeee eat meeee and I did! Service was phenomenal. We were seated right away and were taken care of immediately. Our waiter was friendly but not creepy or overwhelming. He realized my friend and I were funny girls and played up on our jokes throughout the dinner making our experience more personal. Swine has a cool concept. Its not your typical restaurant layout which I love. Its got a cool vibe, nice lighting and rustic decor. My only complaint would be the closeness of the diners. A couple walked in and was seated directly next to us making conversations slightly uncomfortable. I kept thinking they were conversation stalking us...they may have felt that way too cause they asked to be moved upstairs...lol Another couple walks in and they sat them right next to us again, but this particular couple chatted us up and jumped in our convos. Luckily we were at the end of our meal so the awkwardness was brief. Overall Swine was pretty legit. My drink which was the upside down pineapple cake was superb and the little mister making it was pretty entertaining. He was shaking that cocktail like it was going out of style! I had to literally stop chewing to just watch him and give him the thumbs up sign...gotta love passionate people! Lol

    We tried this place off of a whim and right off the bat, the decor is spot on. The whole rustic, simple theme really sat well with me especially the light fixtures; they were very easy on the eyes and nice to look at. Apart from the aesthetics and decor, food was pretty good. I was expecting OMG BBQ flavors, but it wasn't quite there except for the burnt ends. I'll start there... The Black Angus Burnt Ends appetizer was delicious! Especially that cream of cornbread sauce!!! That is a definite must try and the waiters recommend that as soon as you begin looking at the menu. The meat was tender and pulled apart very easily. Hands down the best thing we ate; and I'm pretty sure if it came in entree portions, I'd only eat that. I then ordered the burger while my boyfriend ordered the pork shoulder with the bacon Mac and cheese. We didn't finish our plates because we were kind of full and part of it could've been because it wasn't to die for. It was good, but we were expecting fire works especially after that scrumptious appetizer. For our drinks, we ordered a pear cider and a house made Mexicali Crush (tequila, mango, lemon, honey and cilantro). The cider took some getting used to but I liked it and the Mexicali crush was made very strong and tasty! I wish we had room for dessert but that will have to be for next time. Overall, I'd definitely be back. Despite some lack of flavor, the food is cooked well and the service is good.

    Travis Burns, Restaurant Manager, warmly greeted me and my mama at the door. He selected a seat for us; escorted us to the table; and, fully described their various menus in detail. This is a restaurant that does NOT limit you to happy hour in their bar area only. Score! Carlee was our waitress and she was both pleasant and knowledgeable about their various offerings. She was also attentive and quick to fill glasses, bring food or make recommendations for other items. We came for happy hour (which is daily from 4-7pm). They have various beers, wines and cocktails for either $4 or $5. I had their Run Pig Run Punch, which was fruity and refreshing with a kick! We also ordered their burnt ends...so delicious and flavorful. The fried grits were a great complement to the aromatic beef. Next, I enjoyed their fried green tomatoes. They were crunchy on the outside and sweet-tangy on the inside. It was a total bonus to learn that they have live music every Monday night from 7-10pm. We will have I check it out next time. In a nutshell, I had a great BBQ experience. My only dings: 1) No discounted happy hour food; 2) No wifi (free or paid); 3) No parking in the adjacent lot; and 4) A bit too dark for those who are visually impaired. Overall, the food, drinks, blues music, great dećor and the fragrant wafts from the kitchen will keep me coming back!

    I wanted to like Swine as much as I liked Yardbird, but I had a rather disappointing Sunday brunch here. While I love the industrial feel and the awesome decor, the menu didn't impress me. First of all, most of it is a la carte and way overpriced. Some menu options include 2 eggs for $6...a buttermilk biscuit for $9...bacon and waffles for $22...Seriously?! We ordered the granola and fruit parfait, the farm eggs and maple sausage sandwich, a kale salad, French fries and Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was disappointing and everything else was just okay. Nothing stood out! Very average food for the price! This place doesn't live up to the hype! 12/18...Edited to add, I checked my inbox as instructed by the "owner" and sent an email as instructed and never got a response. Thanks for wasting my time!

    Ita s a decent place the service is ok. I had the black angus ends appetizer it was pretty good not worth all the hype everyone states but good. The ribs have a different flavor to it wasnt too big a fan. The pork shoulder was ok as well very tender the flavor ehhh. The brussel sprouts where awesome thats a must try

    Don't bother. Came here for the Swine burger. Tasted like a Five Guys burger with a Spam in it. And it's $18. Disappointed.

    I was looking forward to eating here since I've tried their other two restaurants. I booked a reservation several days ago and Swine called me the day of the reservation to confirm but then they called about 2.5 hours before our reservation time to cancel....Mechanical difficulties was the excuse. What a disappointment since it was a special day I had planned....

    (Changed my review TODAY)Unpdated review: went for Spice Lunch The Swine Burger , Cesar, & Cookies are Absolutely AMAZING. Everything was great Service spectacular. Also I saw the BLT's back on the menu Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy" Old Review: Haven't been to Swine in almost 1 year and a half until recent. The food is lacking. Everyone knows this place isn't the same and one of the main reasons is because that menu is incorrect "/ yikes I hate to say it. It's so hard to find stuff to want to eat off that menu. The presentation is just out the window. The prices are tooooo high if they are going to serve you the food like looking like a BBQ truck on the side of the street. The Fried green tomatoes seem OUT of place with out the pork. No more Bacon & Waffles for Dinner???? Huhhhh shocking. To me it seems like the menu benefits the kitchen to do less work but not the guest. The Mac & Cheese AMAZING the brisket I crave it DAILY it's yummy, Shrimp & grits so tasty, corn bread the best in the south. It's actually better than GiGi's & Sweetie Pies Restaurant. The restaurant is gorgeous as always. That cornbread purée..... Smh get rid of it, replace it with Grits that's how they do it in the south. I'm surprised there are no Collard Greens yet. Or a signature meat loaf or chicken Pot Pie. The saddest thing is the dessert they use to be so yummy at Swine. The presentation (gone) & the construction lacking. Sticky buns with no sweet potato ice cream I almost screamed. The dessert choices saddened me. I had to get all of those things off my chest but this restaurant still deserves 4 stars. The services was great & (some) of the food was amazing! I like this place I really do. Also Lisa the hostess she was really great from making the reso, seating us, & making sure we were takin care of. Very Rare.

    We were in Coral Gables for the weekend and came here because of the special dinner menu they were offering for Restaurant Week. When we asked for the menu the waiter casually said they don't offer it on weekends. That was unfortunate, since nowhere did it say that would be the case. (In fact, the restaurant had a Restaurant Week poster outside with the dates June 8 - 28, and no fine print.) This bait-and-switch aside, the food was good. The cornbread was moist and the butter/jam combo was great. My salmon was cooked perfectly (crispy outside, pink inside) and the vegetables it came with were seasoned nicely. I tried someone's mac and cheese, which was hearty, but while the the ribs I tried from another person fell off the bone, they were on the verge of being too sweat for my taste (and too expensive for what it was). The design of the place is nice, but a pretty loud. Also, our table was on the second story, crammed between the bar, a kitchen door, and a table of about a dozen people, making it more cramped than intimate. Overall, the food was worth the visit (even if we paid twice as much for it as expected) but the atmosphere was a little wild for that price range.

    I had tasted one of the best burgers I had since Delmonico's in NYC-this is a must, even a vegetarian-to-be whom I was with called it a good choice. It's definitely not to disappoint. Off miracle mile Swine offers a BBQ feel,great ambience, and several cords of wood for their smoker. The burger was a blend of short-rib, brisket, and pork, in addition we had this burnt end pieces of Angus brisket plate, a must have in creamy and dreamy corn bread with a Swine Old Fashion and the other party had the Homestead bound cocktail, both unique flavors which include honey. The other party had a kale salad with the burnt end Angus tips in it and they liked it; dessert - jack and cookies with Jack Daniels honey milk - completely homemade and worth every damn calorie. It's a go to place when in Miami-Coral Gables, trendy while maintaining a southern BBQ feel. Parking is challenging (as most pockets off miracle mile) and reservations would ensure a table and great eats.

    This place definitely lives up to its hype! I'd been wanting to dine her for a few months now and once my birthday rolled around, I knew where I wanted to go! I made reservations via OpenTable and even though I arrived 15 minutes due to the wonderful Miami traffic, my reservation was still on hold and without any question my party was sat immediately. We were led upstairs and though it was an awkward table for a party of 4, we went with it. Within minutes of seating, our waitress greeted us and was more than happy to share her favorite items on the menu with our table of firsttimers. So here's a list of what was ordered at the table: deviled eggs, cornbread, crispy pork caesar, the swine burger, mac n cheese, the 1/2 rack of ribs and for dessert, the cookies & bourbon milk. What was left you ask? Nothing! Because everything was absolutely delicious! We all shared and ate everything till the very last bite. YUM! All of us left fully satisfied and pleasantly surprised that Swine won us over on our very first visit! From excellent service to great food, I'll be back again very soon!

    Felt like I ate at a TGIF or Chile's and that's being kind (and they are still amazing compared to this place). Let's start with the drinks, completely overpriced. They have an elaborate drink menu, the drinks were nothing special and barely had any alcohol in them. At least the presentation was nice. The food was terrible. The corn bread was mediocre, the brisket was terrible, and the sirloin ha let's not even talk about it. The only thing worth ordering is the Brussels sprouts.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants - period. I've eaten here for brunch and dinner about 5 times. The food is consistently top notch - "well crafted" and "harmonious flavors" are applicable keywords here. Memorable are the burnt ends, brisket, cornbread, marble potatoes and hush puppies. Every dessert we've tried is amazing. Also, I'd be remiss without mentioning the cocktails. John, the bartender has talent for sure. The Swine Old Fashioned is everything everyone says it is (and more), and I've had some top notch handcrafted (custom) drinks that are among the best drinks I've ever had. Think of Swine as "upscale barbecue with a twist". They take traditional Southern classics, customize them a bit and kick them up a notch. If you're in Vegas or South Beach, try Swine's sister restaurant Yardbird which is right up there with Swine. Kudos to 50 Eggs, and we can't wait to see what new restaurants they bring to Miami.

    I've been dying to eat at Swine for a while and finally got the opportunity to go for lunch on my wedding anniversary. The place is small but very nicely decorated in a industrial style with some warm accents like the exposed brick wall and areas of recovered wood (or at least wood that has been distressed to look like recovered/ recycled wood). The brunch menu is not very extensive but every single entree features some sort of delicious pork product:) I ordered the BLT Benedict, described as "homemade buttermilk biscuit crumble, soft poached organic egg, house-cured bacon, cherry tomato salad, frisee, Hollandaise". It was delicious! The buttermilk biscuit crumble was buttery and toasted but still soft and fluffy on the inside. The house cured bacon was freaking amazing! The plate was small and I thought the entree looked tiny but honestly, I had a hard time eating the whole thing. Of course, this could be because we also ordered buttermilk biscuits which were HUGE, buttery, pillowy and came with butter and a house-made blackberry jam. My hubby ordered the pulled pork and eggs, which I thought sounded pretty weird. I was pleasantly surprised. It is described as "organic farm eggs, smoked and pulled all-natural pork, Adluh South Carolina stone ground grits". The pulled pork was perfection, the scrambled eggs he ordered were delicious combined with the pork and barbecue sauce and the grits were great. Not sure what Adluh means but who cares, the whole thing was awesome! I look forward to visiting again and trying the Swine Sticky Bun made with "cinnamon butter, maple-bacon bourbon pecan brittle, sweet potato ice cream"...nom, nom!

    Stopped by for a couple of drinks and appetizers. Mike @ the bar was awesome, providing that comfy southern hospitality vibe. We requested a smooth fresh cocktail and he got it right @ the first try "The Great Mouse Detective" if you want a smooth vibe this is your mouse lol. We enjoyed some hush puppies, corn bread and macaroni & Cheese. Perfect stop for a quick bite even though they offer a full menu but the full bar will get you rocking...Thanks Mike

    Food is really great! We had a big party and pretty much ordered one of everything on the menu! The cornbread was my favorite and the kale salad was really good too! Definitely larger portions for sharing. You'll have wayyy too much food if everyone orders a plate.

    I thought the food was good, but was surprised at the lack of flavor. I'm hoping this is just because I chose a poor dish, because everything else I saw at the table looked more interesting. Maybe I'll return some time and update this review. I had the omelet of the day, which was the burnt ends omelet. The flavor was very one note and not exceptional. The egg could have used salt and pepper. The burnt ends largely tasted like the molasses sauce they were cooked in. The only vegetables in the dish were onions, and they did little to add to the taste of the dish. None of this was "bad" per se, but the omelet was a missed opportunity. It came with fruit salad, which was generic and uninteresting. Melon. Same as you would get at any diner. I had a jalapeno bacon cornbread muffin which was solid though not exceptional. A bit dry. Though still warm, I wish this had been served hot. We had excellent service. Our server was engaging without being intrusive. I was very impressed that the person in our party who got bottomless mimosas received multiple refills (without asking) even after we paid our bill. Obviously, no one tried to rush us or neglect us in order to get our table clear. Very classy, and frankly impressive.

    God I love food.... But It's almost unhealthy how much I love BBQ. Place had some serious good food. I went for dinner and despite being disappointed (no pulled pork sandwich) I was glad I tried something else. The pork shoulder was very good. We had the Mac n cheese and the jalapeño cornbread as sides. The Mac and cheese was good but not how I pictured instead of creamy cheese it was more like layers upon layers of cheese. It was delicious but not the kind that makes me close my eyes and throw my head back. The cornbread was more like a muffin and was amazing! We had ordered the deviled eggs as an app and I am so glad I did because they were possibly the best I've ever had. By this point, there was no more space for dessert :( It is a little pricey but so worth going as an experience. Cute decor and cozy atmosphere make it so much fun! Happy hour is until 7pm FYI

    Swine is devine!!! This is the best/most authentic Southern food in Miami. Being from Charleston, SC I can say with confidence that I know great Southern food, and Swine hits the nail on the head! Their hush puppies... amazing. I've never had better hush puppies in my life! They put a lot of creativity into their food and cocktails. The bartender knows what he's doing and will make you a unique craft cocktail tailored to your tastes. I wish I could eat here everyday!

    Whenever I go to a BBQ place I usually order brisket....it's the kind of thing you just can't make at home (at least not in a condo). Unfortunately most brisket is usually underwhelming....dry and chewy. I had wanted to try Swine for a while. Yesterday I found myself in the Gables at lunchtime and headed over. I sat at the bar, and the lovely barmaid immediately told me that they had a brisket sandwich special so I didn't even bother to look at the menu and ordered it. The space is nice...upscale brick walled BBQ and blues theme. I ordered a can of Miami Vice IPA and then my sandwich arrived. These guys do brisket right! It was very tender, fatty, juicy and delicious....really exceptional....maybe the best I've ever had. I will make an effort to have dinner there soon. Great craft cocktails too.

    Went there for brunch last Sunday and was pleased. It took a few minutes longer to be seated than originally expected, (I was by myself and they said it would be about three minutes-it was actually about 12,) but the quality and service made up for the wait. I originally went in drawn by the 19.99 bottomless mimosas and true to form, they were delicious and very bottomless. Andrea was delightful and steered my in the right direction with choosing the Breakfast Sandwich vs. the omelet of the day. She checked on me a few times and made sure to refill my glass as many times. The food was out fast, extremely rich and delicious. Very glad I decided to pay a little more than some other spots and went with Swine. Awesome food!

    First time visit. When I walked in I was taken away by how beautiful the place was. We were a large party and sat towards the back. Felt like we were dining in a winery cave. Got to enjoy Coral Gables Restaurant week menu when I went (3 course meal for $30) Had a shrimp in spicy red sauce appetizer. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and the sauce was divine. On to the main course...I had the grilled trout with vegetables and roasted potatoes. I had never had trout and it was phenomenal! Vegetables were as equally good. Dessert was tiramisu great finish to a great dinner out! Tip: went on a Sunday before 7pm and it was happy hour. Some cocktail drinks & wine selections were 50% off.

    So I've been here for brunch twice even though, I'm against eating at establishments that charge exorbitant prices for what should be cheap, comfort food - $28 shrimp and grits? $22 bacon and waffles? Hilarious. The food I had both visits was good though (jalapeno cornbread and the bacon & waffles). Last time I went with a group, everyone who ordered the BLT benedict complained that it wasn't good. With Coral Gables Restaurant Week upon us, I decided it was time to come here for dinner. We had reservations and were promptly seated. The waiter came by and we asked for the restaurant week menu. He informed us that they don't have it on Fridays and Saturdays. That's funny, this minor detail is conveniently not mentioned on the menu posted on the CG restaurant week website nor on the menu posted on their very own website. After staring at the menu for a few minutes, I decided it was foolish to spend any money here, so we got up and left. We informed the staff our displeasure on our way out.

    I'm not a pork fan girl but this place could convert me. The smoker is outback and the execution is outstandingly. Short distance but you'd have to travel a long way to find better BBQ. Our party savored the meat section of the lunch menu - ribs, port shoulder and brisket. Everything was on the money, succulent, fat free and you could eat them with a spoon. We tried on Sunday for brunch but it was an hour wait so we skipped. Monday lunch we had when whole place to ourselves. Wait staff were very attentive but I'd hope for that given the numbers. Bottom line - there's a lot of food in the brisket, port sizing is perfect for lunch, get the ribs if you're a mans man.

  • Janae L.

    I went for brunch for a friends birthday and ordered the quiche & Mac and cheese. The quiche was amazing! It was savory and surprisingly a bit sweet. The Mac and cheese was good, but I think it looked better than it was, nothing like I couldn't live without! The other girls loved it though, so maybe just my taste. Although I didn't order the bottomless mimosas (only $20), Keith kept 'em coming! Never once did someone have to ask for a refill, truly bottomless lol. We had an amazing time, great service and food, we didn't feel rushed out, would def come back again.

    The food is always delish here. Always. My only gripe, if you can call it a gripe, is when the place is packed (which is often) , sometimes my eggs are overdone. This is the third time I've eaten here and had to send my eggs back. I'm from the northeast where over-easy means over-easy. Very lightly done on both yolks, pink on color and smooth, with a perfectly runny center and the whites aren't goopy. So, yeah I'm very picky about my eggs. But truly everything else is amaze balls. Cornbread.. Yes. Brisket.. Yes. Sweet potato hash.. Yes. Definitely try this place out, just put emphasis on the egg temperature if they are busy!!

    Nice BBQ spot in Coral Gables. Make sure to make reservations. My husband and I ate here while we were in Coral Gables for our wedding weekend. Everything my husband ordered was delicious from the entree (brisket) to the sides. We also shared the skillet cornbread and okra for an appetizer. I ordered their shrimp and grits but it had an unbearably strong demi glace sauce which made it unpleasant to eat. I took a few bites and decided I couldn't commit to eating it. I rarely send food back but when the waiter came over and asked how I liked it I had to tell him the truth. He immediately understood and said the demi glace was off-putting to some. He offered to let me choose another dish, it was replaced with a smoked and pulled pork dish which was perfect. My second dish was so much better.

    So I happened to be chatting up my new--found love for BBQ and brisket (yea, where have I been??) and Mike James told me I had to come to THIS PLACE for the best brisket etc. in town. He was not kidding. When you walk in, the place smells AMAZING. They smoke their brisket 14 hours overnight and holy wow- when you taste it, you'll appreciate that. We got the burnt ends (I think that is what it's called, forgive me) appetizer- sweet mother of GOD I could have a plate of just that. Then they bring out cornbread with some maple butter and something else, I think I was in a food haze by then-- we also ordered the salmon dip/spread appetizer-- never tasted anything like it, so delightful!! Then we got brisket for dinner- all of us. TO DIE FOR and the child got macaroni and cheese and I wanted to rob his plate what does that tell you?? I could not drink because I am on some medication currently but WOW when I can, I will do it up right here, because their adult beverage menu looks amazing. OMG AND BRUSSEL SPROUTS DONE RIGHT-- to die for. This place is like 20 stars. For reals.

    The decor of this place puts you in a smoke house in Tennessee. The smell in there waters your mouth the moment you step inside. I had the burger and I must say, it's the best tasting burger I've ever had in my life. The meat was scrumptious and the pickles onions they put on the side make that burger all the better. We also had the brisket. It was so tender and tasty. You may want to take a pepcid AC beforehand, though. All this delicious food wouldn't taste so good without all that FAT :) Just a recommendation.

  • Michael P.

    If you are really into bbq you should go here because it is legit, but a word of advice, only order from the little section that says "from the smoker" or something like that. The other items on the menu are average and over priced. The items from the smoker are really good and legit. We had the chicken wings ,mac and cheese, swine burger and pork shoulder. The mac and cheese was good but not worth the price tag but still pretty damn good. The chicken wings were dry, salty , and burned so don't get those and its a pig place so you look like a fool getting chicken too. The burger was different becasue it had rib in it but in the end it is not worth the price either. Now the pork shoulder was from the smoker and it was melt in your mouth goodness, that was absolutly worth it.

  • Ashley S.

    Oh, Swine... how do I love thee? Let me count the ways... 1. Bottomless Mimosas during Sunday Brunch. Seriously, bottomless. Our super attentive waiter refused to let my glass be empty. And considering I was celebrating my birthday, I had no complaints. 2. Country fried Bacon and Waffle. My mouth waters at the very thought. This amazing entree replaces fried chicken with deep fried, thick cut pieces of bacon. Seriously... Deep. Fried. Bacon. Combine that with a cheddar cheese waffle, honey hot sauce and Bourbon maple syrup and you have a recipe for love. 3. The ambiance of this Coral Gables restaurant transports you to a cute country-side eatery. Modern country actually. It's almost like a Pinterest page come to life but in the best way possible. I've only been to Swine once for brunch but I will certainly be back to try their other options. I strongly recommend a reservation since it gets pretty full. Now that I've written this review, I have a craving for the bacon and waffle. See you Sunday!

    Wow What a Great lunch experience I had today here at Swine. When you walk in and that Delicious wood smoked smell hits your nose and palette you know you're about to have a Delicious meal! I started off with the deviled eggs. The presentation is nice but the taste is incredibly smooth and velvety. Then I had the Swine burger. The burger is made of a blend of short rib, brisket, and pork which blend perfect together. Then it's topped off with thick cut house smoked bacon and their special sauce. Everything compliments each other. For the piece of resistance I had the Salted Caramel shake and it was so Awesome! The shake is made with Left Hand Milk Stout, candied bacon, caramel, and chocolate slivers. One of the Best shakes I have had. The place is clean and well kept. It's decor is modern southern vibe and it has a full bar with some craft beers and wines. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu items and have some great suggestions. Well definitely be back to try their brunch menu.

    We loved the experience we had here, including the best burger we have ever had!!! This is a must go place. The ambiance is great and the place is beautiful. Our server was very nice and was happy to suggest delicious dishes. The Mexicali Crush was delicious and my fiance loved the Shniders Eisbock. The fried green tomatoes were full of flavor and even better with the pickle. When the burger arried it looked delicious, my fiance grabbed one French tdt and dipped it in to the ketchup... Wow we had not even touched the burger and we were amazed br the ketchup which had a light spice to it. The burger!!! Oh the burger! It had a thick dulce of bacon which was cooked to be crunchy un the outside but soft in the inside. This is defenetely a oler to go and have amazing food. Make reservations as the wait is long (even with reservations).

    I really really enjoyed Swine the two times I've eaten there. But first, a couple nitpicks. I get that they are a really busy place almost all of the time. But PLEASE try to have someone answer the phone. I had to call back three times once and twice another before someone answered. The other nitpick isn't really something they can fix now but for the future, 50 Eggs, PLEASE stop making your places so tight! I know it's a "thing" of these 50 Egg places to be compact but it really is annoying when my husband has to move out of a waiter's way every time he wants to get by. Those nitpicks aside I really love the atmosphere of Swine. I love that they love carbon filament bulbs as much as I do and I appreciate that the music is loud but not TOO loud. And of course the service has always been wonderful. I appreciate that the servers we've had can help make food and drink suggestions unlike some places where the servers just look at you blankly when you ask their advice. I've had the kale salad both times I've gone and I love it. I'm not going to fool myself and say it's healthy but it probably is one of the "lighter" options if you care about that sort of thing at a place called SWINE. It's really filling though but not so filling you won't enjoy a whiskey cocktail (I recommend the Buck and Gable, especially if you're a fan of ginger beer). My husband had the ribs the first time we went and those were really good. I HAD to have a rib and I don't even like ribs that much. The portion is huge he actually had leftovers for the next day- and he is a big eater. He's also had the swine burger and enjoyed it. His parents had the pulled pork which came with a nice side of fries and cole slaw. The cole slaw was ok. But the fries, were amaaazing. So fluffy and potato-y. Perfect for dipping in any of the sauces they have- whether it's the bbq, the blackberry jam that comes with the corn muffins, or the spicy ketchup. Personally I wasn't wowed by the desserts I've had there. I know people swear by the sticky bun which was good but I could do without. Honestly, I would rather put the money towards another cocktail because they really excel at those. Really, I could go to Swine and just have cocktails and their corn muffins and be happy.

  • Nikka L.

    I'm not surprised this place lost a star because Swine is truly not what it used to be and if it weren't for my past love of this restaurant I'd give it only two or three. My boyfriend and I came here in its opening week and I still remember describing the food as ethereal, ambiance was great and the place was always packed. They'd tweak their menu seasonally so we'd come in for dinner every time it rolled over and popped in for brunch or happy hour pretty frequently, always leaving with full and satisfied tummies. Biggest criticism is that the new chef completely lost sight of the fact that this is a southern, primarily Pork (hence swine) restaurant and completely destroyed the menu. There's not much BBQ left on it besides the originals and all the fish and poultry dominating the menu just doesn't fit in, or taste as good for that matter. We left disappointed, unsatisfied and not at all satiated last week, (the head hostess was sympathetic at least.) The worst part is feeling like we lost our favorite restaurant and our go to neighborhood spot. Here's hoping they make a comeback.

    Love coming here! I have never been disappointed whenever I come to Swine. The food is phenomenal and just delicious. You won't be disappointed if you come to Swine. Try getting here as early as possible because this place can get crowded quickly, especially now that they take reservations. Try their bacon and waffles (to die for!) and also, whenever I come to Swine, I can't seem to pass on the opportunity to have their Old Fashioned (one of the best that I've ever had).

    We had a reservation and still had to wait for over 45min, not because there was no table but because she forgot about us. After she helped a few people that came in after us, we had to ask how much longer it was gonna take, and then she had a excuse that she was waiting on a table, I pointed out a few tables and she said, ooo those are being prepared, so give me another 10min. Long story short, we left after a hour waiting and no food.

    I rarely ever give 5 stars but I loved every single thing I tried along with the decor. The restaurant is narrow but has a cool 2nd floor that includes a bar. The smell of pork, bbq, and firewood had us salivating before we even started! The Hash is amazing...I could have easily enjoyed a full plate as an entree. The Mac N Cheese was delicious. We ordered the Swine Burger, the Pulled Pork Sandwich, and I got the Pulled pork and fried eggs. The sauce from the pork and the runny eggs all mixed with the grits was diabolical (and I don't even eat grits). These I had till the last bite! We left there feeling beyond satisfied and agreed we'd have to come back!

    WOW WOW WOW!!! I went here for dinner with my boyfriend. I was really excited, as this was a place I had been wanting to try for quite some time now. Boy was I satisfied!! We ordered the brisket, wings and mac and cheese. Talk about yummy! The brisket was slow cooked, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The wings were cooked just right, a little crunchy ( which I prefer) and had a little spicy kick to them as well. The Mac and cheese was also very good! It was a creamy cheesy mouthful of heaven! Definitely felt like a fat kid after having it. The service was top notch. Our waiter was so attentive, made sure our food was cooked just right and that our glasses were never empty. I will definitely be back here. Gorgeous place, Excellent service and Amazing food!

    Fantastic location, friendly and prompt service, and savory swine! What's not to like about this place? My husband and I gave Swine a try on the day of the Kentucky Derby. Boy was that fun! There was a big screen showing the race and enthusiasts at the bar. There was even a special menu for that day. We had the hush puppies, mac & cheese, seared diver scallops, and pork porterhouse to top it off. Everything was AMAZING! The mac & cheese was perfect, the scallops were spectacular, and the pork porterhouse was divine. The service was on point, our server was very attentive and we never had an empty glass of water. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious southern cookin'! Oh and the aesthetics, ambiance, decor are beautiful!

    I love pigs. I love bacon and pork belly and crispy pork skin. I love anything and everything pig related from the curly crunchy fried pig ears to the fall apart pulled pork. I am judgmental of pork at restaurants, and definitely went to Swine with a bit of a critical eye. Well, I was disappointed.. that I did not come here sooner. If I lived closer to Coral Gables I would spend more time here, it is truly amazing. Last time I went to Swine was in a group of 8-10 people, the other times have only been myself and my girlfriend. All of the experiences have been top notch. Where can I begin? The staff is very friendly, and our waitress last time was very funny and enjoyable. I really wish I remembered her name, but she was short with dark hair (in Miami?! what?!?) and definitely made the experience even better. It was a Saturday morning, bottom floor, long table. Maybe she has the same section? But anyways, on to the food (and drinks): I can't speak to the cocktails myself, I am a neat Whiskey person myself, but everyone was definitely enjoying their mimosas and bloody marys. By the way, speaking of Whiskey, they have a very nice collection of common, uncommon and rare Whiskys, and for a (hefty) price, you can sip some Pappy with your meal! Their jalapeño cornbread is out of this world, as are their biscuits, especially coupled with the house jam and butter. One order has 4 breads, so keep that in mind! I had the Country Fried Bacon and Waffles and when the plate arrived, I was truly giddy seeing that plate of heaven in front of me. That thick cut bacon, coupled with the cheddar waffle and bourbon maple syrup were enough to leave me in awe. I don't remember much of that plate, I think I might have been on some other plane of existence. Thanks to sharing is caring I was able to indulge in the Bacon Mac n' Cheese, Banana Muffins, Biscuits, Cornbread and French Fries - all delicious, all wonderful in their own right. On a previous visit, I had the Swine Burger. Unlike what another reviewer said, I did not see it at all as a Quarter Pounder from McDs. It was packed full of flavor: their blend of short rib, brisket and pulled pork definitely hit the spot. The pickle (which I am usually not a fan of) added a great contrast to the heavier patty and bacon strips. I ordered it medium rare and enjoyed it thoroughly. I would eventually love to try everything they have here, but there's only so much that can be done on each visit. 14 hour smoked brisket is up next time! For dessert, get the Cookies and Milk (if there is any room.. who am I kidding.. always room for dessert) I will continue being a loyal patron to Swine so long as they continue serving heavenly pig in Coral Gables. If you haven't been there yet, or you have, go!

All of their menus, from brunch, lunch, to dinner are spectacular. You can dress up or down; no matter. Cocktails are mixed to perfection. The ambiance is chill and relaxed, can also be romantic. Is definitely unique in Miami. If you want a southern taste with gourmet flair, come to Swine!

    Out of town friends is a good excuse for all of us to try this place out. We headed over for brunch on Saturday a little after they opened, and ended up being the first ones there. That's always weird but cool. First thing I noticed was the smoked smell of the place already so early in the morning. Kitchen's going! The only problem with that is that it seemed to irritate my self-diagnosed asthma a little bit, and I started coughing a little. That didn't stop me from enjoying my meal. Brunch menu is great! All kinds of ways you can have your pig. I had a hard time choosing, but finally settled on the Swine burger - short rib, brisket, pork blend with cheese and bacon - with fries on the side. Man, this burger was yummy! Thickest cut bacon you ever did see. Really tender patty. And even though the cheese was just regular American cheese, it was really the icing on top. Melted, cheesy, gooiness that just held the meats together. Looove it. The downside for me was the side of fries. Maybe I had my hopes up too high, but I wasn't thoroughly impressed nor did I feel it matched the greatness of the burger. Crispiness was on point, but I thought it could use a little more flavor. But they're a pig place, and they sure do pig well! Sooooo-weeeee, pig, pig, pig!

    Swine - Coral Gables. Best BBQ I've had this month! The pulled pork was smoked to perfection. The burnt ends had a very nice bark on them. They had a nice sauce that had just the right tang:) the 2 sides (grits & Mac n cheese) were also very noteworthy. I could have made a meal with just those 2 items. (Also posted this review to Texas Monthly BBQ)

    Meh... We had the tips appetizer, which was probably the best thing we tasted. Whipped liquid cornbread? Yes! The pork shoulder was fatty and the sauce detracted from the taste. The brussel sprouts were good, not great. Service was fab... Overall, this is my 3rd trip and I probably won't be back. These southern restaurants aren't my favorite.

    Decided to finally try out Swine after hearing very good things. Started out with 2 Mules, a Kentucky and a Moscow. I was very pleased to see that they served them In their proper form, copper mugs. So they get a star right off the bat for that! I really like my Bourbon and they have a great selection of that and many others. We ordered the Smoked Salmon Dip and Burnt Ends for appetizers and both were delicious. The ends were full of flavor with their amazing sauce. The smokey flavor of the dip was perfect. On to the entrees, Brisket was perfection. It was moist without being fatty or greasy, and once again the sauce complemented the flavor. The burger needed absolutely no additions, no ketchup, no mustard, nothing. Eat it as is! Full of flavor with a mix of ground meats and just the right amount sauce, provided by the little slice of brisket that blankets the burger. Wow! On the side we tried the Mac n Cheese (I had to) and the Marbled Potatoes. The Mac n Cheese was quite impressive, and I'm picky on this southern staple. Creamy, topped with bacon and bread crumbs. Not too salty and not bland at all. Great balance. The Marbled potatoes were also delicious. Basically a mix of small roasted potatoes in a buttery garlic sauce. Sounds heavy but not at all. Everything was just the right amount of flavor and texture. The service was good. Brisket came out a few minutes after the burger but the waiter was on top of that right away. Otherwise he was attentive and friendly. Definitely will be back for more. So many other dishes I can't wait to try.

    Swine has been the biggest let down of the year for me. Maybe because I'm obsessed with the 50 Eggs Group and their restaurants and this was so hyped up. I went during brunch on a Saturday and it was nearly empty, which should have been my first warning since this just opened. You couldn't get a table at 1 at Yardbird if you were the president and for good reason. The interior looks exactly like Yardbird but more wharehouse-y. It's cute and it's their sister restaurant so it was expected. But really, the ambiance as good as it might be won't make or break an experience for me. I had the Chicken Fried Bacon and Waffles. Total let down unless you're into waffles and breaded pork fat for breakfast. The waffle, I felt was misnamed a cheddar cheese waffle. There wasn't even a hint of cheddar in it or on it. And don't get me wrong, it was good, but a simple waffle with that delicious hot sauce beats this entire dish by a mile and it doesn't cost $22. We also ordered the Pulled Pork N Eggs. This was considerably better but still nothing to write home about. My favorite thing about it was actually the grits. Eggs, after all, are just eggs. And the pulled pork didn't exactly blow my mind. The combination of the three was good. But it didn't leave me with that amazing feeling I had leaving Yardbird or Khong. It was totally mediocre and doesn't hold a candle to the other two.

    Review of Dinner on 7/18: After dining for both Brunch and Dinner at Yardbird I expected nothing less from Swine, but I was wrong. First off we had a reservation for 9:45 and we had to wait 40 minutes before we were seated. What's the point of having a reservation if the establishment will not keep to them? The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to answer all out questions but the service on his part was slightly lacking. Had to ask for drink refills and food was missing from our meal that came after we had all started eating. The Mac and Cheese which was suppose to have bacon on it had none, just a bunch of crispy topping to hide that it didn't have any. Which isn't surprising as the both Mac and Cheese ordered at the table came 15 minutes after we got our food. There was 2 pork shoulders ordered at the table. One of them was perfect, but the one I received was mainly a piece of fat. I told the waiter and he quickly changed it for another piece. Unfortunately this piece was also pretty much just fat again. I didn't bother mentioning anything because at this point I was already disappointed and just wanted to leave. I feel that just because we went and were eating close to closing time everything was just rushed out. So I would not recommend going anytime near closing. As I said this was a huge disappointment and a big fail for Swine. Sad that Yardbird, which is owned by the same company is SO much better. I might give Swine another try, but for now I can't say I would recommend it.

    Outstanding drinks, ambience, desserts and...oh yeah FoOd! Located in the bustling Miracle Mile area yet easy to find parking, (although valet is available), this intimate setting accommodates folks of all walks of life with delicious southern cooking. Your right arm will go numb as you begin your entrée, but it's worth it!

    Ya, this place is heaven. I'm so fat that the other day when I couldn't wake up half my friends to eat here for Brunch again I went and sat by the bar BY MYSELF and ordered the chicken fired pork bellies and waffles. This food is goddamn criminal. I have since ordered many drinks here which I usually don't care for or rave about but their quality and attention to detail is stellar. Not to mention their great selection of beers. I've been there 7 times and haven't strayed from the waffles and porkbelly plate like a fatass but im working my way to pulling the trigger on a different entree. I have had all of the sides however and they are all executed quite well. If I had to make/give A criticism about Swine it would be their 35 dollar corkage fee for bringing your own wine. Come on man! let a brother play with his alcohol and food :P

    Yeaaa buddy this place is awesome. I had the best cocktail of my life here order the Penicillin yea its not on the menu but it CAN BE MADE INSIST ON IT!! the portions here are huge and a bit pricey but worth it. The mac and cheese came in a pot a small crock pot!! Anywhere that gives you a POT of mac and cheese gets five stars in my book.

    Hog Meat Lovers Paradise! This place is awesome. Most gastro pub type places, with such attention to the food they turn out, are going to be a little pricey in my opinion. They use choice ingredients to create their masterpieces. Everything is pork themed, & man is it good. I've been here a few times, including for brunch and it is good, good, good! Even the Bloody Mary's are garnished with what else.... BACON! YUM! The chicken wings are awesome too. They're smoked, not the traditional Buffalo Sauce variety. It is a nice change, and boy are they good. The décor is Southern Barn rustic. This place is an experience and given the quality of the food, I think there is still value for money here! If you're a porkaholic, trust me, you won't run into any vegans here. Thank GOD!

    Service was exceptional. Swine gets kudos for the level of detail given the food quality, appearance, and menu options. Our table had the burger, brisket, and the ribs. Our sides were the okra and the Brussels sprouts. The ribs were very high quality cut. The outside char and sweet inside almost made up for the fact that they weren't quite falling off the bone. The burger was nice - not exceptional and the brisket beautiful to look at but tasted average. The sauce was very good but didn't make up for the lack of flavor. The exception was the okra - it was outstanding! The drinks were great, too. It's been a few days since we ate there and while everything about the ascetics was picture perfect its hard to believe such high quality ingredients when combined could be average. To me, it lacked soul.

    Pros: pork... Mac & cheese... Old cuban... Fried green tomatoes.... Negative .... You leave smelling porky... Sometimes a long wait I went with a friend for a girls' night out. We had been dying to go for months but the wait was always over 2 hours. We went on a rainy Wednesday & were seated right away. The Mac & cheese was good as were the fried green tomatoes. Service was good. Will definitely return because I love pork!!

    We had a great first-time experience at Swine, owed in large part to our waiter, Nicolas. He recommended a great Cabernet that wasn't even on the menu and a Raspberry Bourbon Smash to me that was so strong but so sweet. Both were amazing! We had the Burger with a Mac & Cheese side, a perfect pairing btw. And we got the Icky Sticky Bun for dessert as a delicious end to the night. Definitely will be returning for more in the future!

    Been meaning to come here for awhile especially for brunch and it satisfied all of my southern cravings. Entered in with no reservations but were immediately seated upstairs with a perfect overhead view of the restaurant, filled with mason jars, wood, and brick décor. Very warm feeling. Started off with their Warm Sticky Icky Bun. Dessert first? Did not regret it one bit. Not only did it satisfy my sweet tooth but was a perfect balance of hot and cold, as well as texturally on point with their "sweet potato pie" ice cream with surprise crispy bits inside. Oh and also, mmmm candied bacon. Next, Mac & Cheese. This thing sits in a cast iron pot, careful. If you're looking for a creamy pool of cheese this isn't for you. If you enjoy the "string effect" of pulling cheese then look no further. Oh yeah, mmmm more bacon. Last on the day's list were their Country-Fried Bacon & Waffle. Hold up, you're telling me that this is actually pork belly? So yes, this piece won't be your casual thin strips. The waffles were thick enough to fill any space left your stomach can handle but the cheddar wasn't as predominant as hoped for. Advice, the bourbon maple syrup, don't handle with care. I suggest sharing everything as main courses are heavy on the wallet. Will definitely be back for dinner.

    My major issue with Yardbird was their inability to craft a properly balanced cocktail. (And by properly balanced, I mean with sufficient booze). Swine, however, came to play with bacon-washed old fashioneds and the buck & gable. Grabbed some cocktails with a friend and spent the hour long wait chatting on breezy Ponce Ave on the patio out front (a patio markedly bereft of tables). When we finally got inside, to our table, my friend and I split one kale salad, one burnt ends appetizer and one order of mac and cheese. Each of these dishes came to our table at least three times. "No, no, we actually already ate that." Whoops. Someone needs to help them with their expo process. We would have happily accepted the extra dishes, but you know, morals and stuff, I guess we have them. This is not to imply that the service was not impeccable, our waitress was on point and happy to comply with my ridiculous request for just a single ball of vanilla ice cream for dessert. Ridiculous because they make this absurdly delicious sweet potato ice cream which my friend ordered. Learn from my mistakes, people, risk it and order the dangerous-sounding thing on the menu. This applies to our main meal as well; the burnt ends were obscenely delicious chunks of barbequed pork bits while the macaroni and cheese was drowning in sour cream. Despite some minor technical mishaps, our meal was good, but mediocre mac n' cheese means an automatic star-downgrade. I'll be back though, I can't resist a good old-fashioned.

    Who ever thought a burger could literally blow your mind? Calling all skeptics! Get your tails over to Swine and be ready for a good-gaawwwd kinda experience! One bite and your soul has found redemption! In all seriousness though, this place is hands down FANTASTIC. Walk in and you're instantly in Gatlinburg, Tennessee--or at least that's how it feels with it's wooden decor, smoky aroma, and hanging lightbulbs. Cute cozy and cabin-esque! Save your pennies though, Swine is a little on the pricier side but have some faith! This place is worth it. My husband and I checked out this little Gables gem on a Thursday, for lunch (the more budget-friendly-but-still-equally-delicious option) and ordered their Swine burger and Smoked Brisket Sandwich with steak-fries and a salad (together, less than $40). Perfect for conversation, perfect for sharing, perfect for coming back! Which we totally plan on doing.

    Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays ask for Juanita at the bar. No need to come any other day to Swine. She is the reason I come to Swine as often as I do. Hands down best bartender in south Florida. You must must MUST have one of her many off the menu signature drinks! The juanita and the blackberry bourbon are my personal favorites. This woman knows her stuff! Ask her to recommend you a drink. You will not be disappointed! They should rename this place Swanita!

    Ate here a couple months ago but thought I should add it to the portfolio because it was one of my favorite spots. Everything was spot on from the service, ambience, and most importantly the food. I remember we had the pulled pork egg breakfast concoction as well as the sticky icky bun. The sticky icky bun is a must have regardless of whether you are on a diet or not! Suck it up and enjoy the calories. I look forward to going back for dinner as I can only imagine their dinner is as good as their brunch.

    Peer pressure will not influence this review! So nope, sorry Swine, I am not giving you more than three stars! You're good, but I just can't seem to cough up that extra star! I think Swine and I were just not meant to be from the beginning. From the moment that we spoke to one of the girls over the phone to make reservations, a sour note was hit. To make a long story short, apparently trying to accomodate a toddler is quite the task. "Reservations for two, and we need a high chair, please." "We don't have high chairs, please hold." Six minutes later, "I'm sorry, but why are you on hold?" "We need reservations for two, and we have a stroller, so can we have a booth please?" This last request was met with a(n) (annoyed) sigh and an "Oh yeah... I'll see what I can do, but if anything changes, you need to let us know." This upset me - immensly. Not to mention the girl was on the verge of hanging up on us within the first 5 seconds of the phone call because she assumed we wanted reservations for dinner (they were booked) so my friend had to quickly utter out that we were coming in for lunch. This whole phone experience was a solid Strike 1. Still, I came for lunch because I really wanted to give this place a chance. Our waiter helped redeem Swine's customer service (thankfully) with his professionalism and attentiveness. Luckily we beat the rush (the line to get a table got bad!) and were ushered into the first booth right by the entrance. The food itself was good; some things I liked more than others. We ate from the Fixin's menu, so beware that this is a review on those dishes. Here's the rundown: - Fries: I did not like this dish. They were thick-cut with a thick batter. Although I wasn't digging these, I still ate them in hopes that they'd grow on me. They didn't, though. - Grits: I LOVED the grits! They were cheesy and had bits of bacon sprinkled on top; creamy and flavorful - I 100% recommend this dish! - Baked Beans: Eh - another dud for me. There was nothing special found in this dish. My friend, on the other hand, thought they were tasty. I wouldn't order these again. - Cornbread: Again, not blown away. This cornbread comes baked like a cupcake in its own little wrapper with a side of vanilla butter. The cornbread is infused with bits of jalapeno and bacon. Although it looks really interesting and appetizing, for me, it ended up being a disappointment (but I must say that it tasted better the next day when I heated up the left overs - go figure!). - Hush Puppies: Hallelujah! This dish was soooo good! The inside of the hush puppies were soft and fluffy; the outside, breaded and crispy. I also loved the sauce they came with! DO give these a go! - Grilled Cheese: This was pretty good. The cheeses come layered between 3 pieces of bread with bits of bacon infused throughout. And the fries that come with the Grilled Cheese are different from the ones on the Fixin's menu. I actually enjoyed these more, eventhough I barely had any room to fit them! Overall, the food was okay. I am willing to come back and give Swine another opportunity to really hook me in. Like it's sister restaurant Yardbird, I can't seem to give it higher than 3 stars. Next time I do want to eat something off the regular menu to give a legit review on their big dishes and not just on their sides. Also, if I can offer a suggestion to the restaurant: parents are people too! We deserve to enjoy your establishment just as much as any other patrons. Please consider getting some high chairs, or at the least, somehow being a bit more accomodating. The over the phone expereince really left me soured with your customer service; even my friend who doesn't have kids was offended by the way your employee handled the situation. Regardless, I will be back. With a better outcome, I hope!

    Sunday brunch at 11:30 am I was able to be seated right away (unlike most places in the area) the service was incredible. The food amazing! Fool of flavor and cooked to perfection. My date and I were very satisfied and are already making plans to try this place for dinner! We sat upstairs where it was quite and intimate. Not to loud, able to carry out a pleasant conversation. A bit pricey for brunch but do not regret a penny!

    A little on the pricey side, but if you're going to Swine you should know that before you walk through the door. It was our first time there and we were excited to try the Swine Burger, recently lauded as one of the best burgers in Miami. Much to our disappointment, the server informed us that they only serve Swine Burgers on certain days and only after 10pm and then informed us that they were closing that day at 10pm... awesome. Not to worry, though, because Swine has an extensive menu of high-end Southern/BBQ style food, the descriptions of which are enough to make you almost drool over the menu. Our server (well, one of them, more on that later) gave quite a performance in terms of suggesting items from all over the menu, stressing that they prefer the food to be shared, and for the experience to be communal. With a large group of people, I can understand that sentiment, and would definitely be down for it. But that night there were three of us, and we weren't going to order much. I went with the 12 hour braised brisket and a side of corn bread. I am not normally a fan of cornbread, but as this was jalapeño bacon cornbread with honey butter on the side, I had to. The brisket was simply out of this world. Something that just melted in your mouth and created an explosion of flavour unlike any other barbecue I've ever had. The portion is not huge, but it's enough for one person, and if you pace yourself it is certainly worth it. The cornbread was better than I could have expected, and I was excited that they give you four pieces (especially for the price), because it meant I could take some home with me. My friends ordered a pork loin to share, made in some special sauce. I was surprised they took the chance because let's be honest, pork loins don't exactly make for "haute cuisine" fare. But not at Swine. Our table was graced with the tickets pork loin I've ever seen in my life, and cooked perfectly. I have never tasted a piece of pork more infused with flavour or prepared more perfectly than their order at Swine. They also ordered the mac & cheese, which is nothing out of this world. Considering how popular mac & cheese is becoming, I was honestly disappointed that they didn't have some sort of short rib, brisket, or pulled pork mac available. It was just simple, au gratin, but not worth much attention. The service was also at the top of what I've had in Miami. This is a place that encourages sharing, and you can tell that it extends to the staff, who share responsibilities seamlessly. We had three servers taking care of us, taking orders. asking us questions, and none of them were redundant or overbearing. When you consider that there are two or three servers per party, there is a lot to keep in order, but they managed it beautifully. For dessert, I ordered the red velvet cake to go, which came with buttercream ice cream and eggnog whipped cream. They offered to serve me the buttercream ice cream in the restaurant since it would not travel well, and even brought three spoons so all of us could share. It wasn't my favourite at first, but I grew to like it, and I suspect it would have gone very well had I eaten it with the cake as intended. Later on in the night when I could fit in, the cake turned out to be heavenly as well, no longer a surprise coming from Swine. And that eggnog whipped cream? I'm going to have to learn how to make that. The restaurant loses one star because of the price. The food and the service are great, but it's hard to justify some of the prices on the menu. There are things that are affordable, but some of it does seem a little ridiculously priced. And while they have an extensive drink and beer menu, the drinks are also on the pricey side, even for the Gables, so I opted not to try any of them. I should also mention that they had a live cover band which covered a bevy of rock songs from The Beatles to other classic rock artists, and they were actually very, very good. On a weekday night, too. Let's say this review is more of a 4.5 than a 4.

    Remember when you thought that Princess Kate was pretty damn hot? Then that opinion changed when Pippa came prancing around with all of her "assets"? Well Swine is Yardbird's hotter, younger sister. The dudes at 50 eggs know what they are doing - taking the southern comfort goodness that is Yardbird and making it better by focusing on pork. For example - how can you make the bird's Chicken and Waffles any more awesome? Well Swine does that by making it Bacon and Waffles. (bacon makes everything better) The B&W's at Swine are so good that they should be on death row menus across the states. The drinks here are equally as good. Ford & The Giant peach was surprisingly pleasant considering it has rye in it. It was a nice refreshing peachy goodness. Coral Gables residents have taken notice, as this place has been slammed both times I have come - and it was mid-week. I would say that it would be wise to make reservations here on the weekends. For those who can't make it out to the beach, you are lucky as the hotter sister happens to live right by you....

    Went there with the family for an early Sunday dinner. It was incredible. Our server was extremely polite and knowledgeable. I started with a very original and delicious bloody mary that came with a piece of bacon as a garnish instead of celery. The mac and cheese was incredible as were the brussel sprouts. The ribs were tender, juicy and smoked to perfection. Great experience!

    We took a work/fun vacation here this past week. I had to do some work during the day but she got to sit by the water and enjoy the sun. She also looked up some of the great eats in the area for dinner! Well this is the place. Swine was talked about at the pool and at where I was working as the place to go to experience good miami food. Everything about this restaurant was great. THe wait was not too long, tuesday night but still. The staff were friendly and of course all the food. If you are in town, go here. Its worth it. Take the time and enjoy this area of Miami too. You may have to hit th egym in the morning but it is great place to go.

    We've been here twice now in 2 weeks and it is such a fantastic experience. The service is excellent, the waiters are incredibly attentive, and the management frequently visits to make sure you're having a good time. And the food is spectacular. Our first visit we had the sliders (melt in your mouth), the Brussels sprouts (crispy and salty), the mac and cheese (just ok), the kale salad (also just ok), and the cornbread muffins with maple butter (absolutely unbelievable). On our second visit we had the pulled pork sandwich with homemade barbecue mustard (spicy and sour, fantastic) and the Caesar salad with fried shredded pork (perfectly salty and savory with delicious anchovies). Everything about this restaurant is a must see and a must have. Best restaurant in Miami.

    All I have to say is Mac & Cheese and Fried Brussels Sprouts! AMAZING! Must try. The ambience is kinda busy but it is to be expected in Coral Gables- I went for lunch. I was happily surprised to find that it was two stories- I like that you could look down at the other dining area below. The staff is very attentive and are good at recommending what to try. Fun for a date.

    We would have rated it higher! It definitely was not the food more so than the service. Our waitress totally sucked :( we ordered the deviled eggs at the bar which were delish. Once we were at our table we ordered the Mac and cheese, cornbread, pork shoulder and the swine burger. The Mac and cheese was good as was the pork shoulder and the swine burger.i asked about the cornbread and she said she would check on it only to find she never placed the order for it. She comes back 15-20min to say they ran out ! Really?!? No bueno I asked for a dessert menu to find her doing everything but that! We would come back but they need better service :-/ would have made my 3 star 4.5 If she has long hair and glasses run

    Best smoked short ribs i have ever tried. Excellent! You have to come to swine just to try them. Although the pork shoulder is not good at all.... The bartenders are very nice but the host is mean, with a fake smile. If you dont like her, you'll never get a table. Come with reservation because the wait is long, but worth. You will leave the place with a strong smoky smell so go straight home!! Jaja. The short ribs deserve the 4 stars.

    To preface my comments, I have a smoker myself and think my que is pretty good, so restaurant BBQ usually doesn't measure up. This was an exception, the brisket was extraordinary, macaroni and cheese, never had better (except with lobster in it LOL). Good eats here for a pretty stiff price, the only reason I gave it 4 stars. So IMHO, excellent quality food, a little more pricey than I would have liked but hey, you only live once and it was excellent quality. Job Well Done!

    I love this place! I'm just gonna put it out there and say this is the best burger I have ever had. Seriously. I ordered the burnt ends, which were excellent, but ended up hijacking mr. O's burger. It was just so good! We started with the cornbread which was also delicious. Everything was great with beer, they have a nice selection. Service was good. Can't wait to go back.

    Soooooo... Someone on Yelp said the food here was so good it'll make you wanna slap yo momma, twice. I have to agree with this person because holy-shitzkies that was delish. Came in yesterday for an impromptu Easter lunch. Ordered the burgers and the Mac n' cheese but everything looked amazing. The smell that hits you when you enter is just fabulous, like a cloud of roasted yummies you want to float on for hours. I really wanted to have dessert but I was stuffed. I devoured my burger in about six minutes flat. It was kinda embarrassing really. Ok, no it wasn't. It was great! Don't hesitate and just come here. The service was also excellent and shout out to our waiter who took pictures of us twice because my boyfriend has a hard time keeping his eyes open. Cheers and oh yeah, homestead bound drink rocks.

    Travis, one of the Managers, is awesome! Our server, Carlee was right on time. Goodness, she knew everything! The drinks are far, far better than the food! Lemon Drop Martini's (2) were AWESOME. The burnt brisket tips with fries grits were, at best, only okay. The fried green tomatoes were, hmmm, okay. The Lemon Drop Martini's were OFF DA HOOK! I will try again. Would like to see/taste their ribs.

    Believe the hype! Been here a few times and you really cant go wrong with anything you order. Even if you're not an appetizer type person (not sure if there are any of these people) get the burnt ends anyway - you will be sorry if you don't. I'm not a huge fan of this but the bone marrow was very good as well. For entrees the highlights for me are The ribs, Swine Burger and the brisket... they use quality ingredients to create their pork masterpieces and all are amazingly awesome! For Dessert I have yet to try anything but the The Swine Shake (Salted caramel ice cream, left hand milk stout, candied bacon)... need I say more? Ok I will AMAZING! The price is up there, but the level of service and food presentation is on par. The decor and ambiance is spot on, a very rustic, backwoods-type feel, perfect for a BBQ joint... Great place to go and "Pig Out"!

    As advertised, this restaurant delivers on its promise of mid to upscale southern BBQ. The ambience is excellent. The 1855 black angus burnt ends off the snacks menu is the item to order above all others.

    This place was amazing. I came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and everything we ate and drank tasted great. We started off with some hush puppies which were delicious! We each ordered the ribs and were pleasantly surprised at how delicious the half of rack tasted... It seemed like a larger portion than your typical half a rack. We ordered the Mac and Cheese to share and ate it all up! For dessert we had the cinnamon bun with ice cream and it was DELICIOUS!!! We will definitely be back!

    A group of us were running in the rain and stopped here for shelter. Best. Decision. Ever. Four BBQ lovers from Texas and we LOVED this place! I totally expected it to be like Tim Loves's The Woodshed in Fort Worth, overpriced mediocre hipster "BBQ." Swine was far from being overhyped. The price is up there, but the level of service and food presentation is on par. We started out with goat cheese ravioli. I have a bit of an unhealthy relationship with goat cheese, but I could have lived without this appetizer. The burger's appearance wasn't as decorative as other dishes but it was one of the best burgers I have ever had! Three patties cooked medium with delicious cheese and 1/4 thick bacon! The bread was sweet with some amazing sauce and homemade pickles. The mac and cheese. Oh Lordy, the mac and cheese. To die for. The ribs were second hand experience but my mom and stepdad killed em. I am looking forward to coming back on my next trip!

I want to be convinced that it really is worth every penny. Looking forward to my next visit and changing my rating of 4 stars to 5 stars. P.S. Watermelon with the Porchetta was a very nice touch to this event. Thinking outside of the box! Love it!

    I was strolling in the gables and looking for a place to have lunch. My friend suggested we eat at Swine- BLESS HER HEART because this place did not disappoint. I was recommended by 3 people to order a meal from their Smoker and I went with the ribs. My dish was phenomenal! My dish came with ribs, mac and cheese, beets and cornbread. The ribs were soft and bathed in a deliciously sweet sauce. The mac and cheese was great, too! The corn bread was a jalapeno cheddar cornbread, I believe. The beets were tasty too. This entire dish was amazing. But what was even more amazing than the dish was the service. I was treated very kindly by Mariela, Chris and our server, Amilkar. Thank you for the great reccomendations and a wonderful time!

    Magnificent, flawless, succulent, and divine SWINE brunch. This is absolutely as good as brunch gets if you really want to pig out (I had to make that pun... just had to. You understand, don't you?) Dinner is really hit or miss when it comes to the meats (mostly a miss except for the pulled pork) but brunch is just a home-run every flippin' time. With one exception. The coffee. The coffee could be a ton better. Instead of ordering a coffee you're probably better off ordering a cocktail. They have pretty good bartenders who could whip up a drink that's probably ten times better than any coffee... (*probably* SWINE folks... but, ya'll should seriously negotiate a pouring contract w/Panther Coffee because that would be a decadent and world-altering match made in coffee bean heaven.) But I digress... Truthfully, everything on the brunch menu is sublime. The service is always spectacular and genuinely, best in class. I heart SWINE in a big way. You should too.

    This place is perfect for the yuppies with money to blow. The food menu is a-la-carte you pick the main dish, and your separate sides. So I got the smoked brisket $28, and a bowl of potatoes $10. The cocktail I got was $15 (watered down mojito) the brisket I received had a nice healthy portion of fat cap on it, so it was 60%meat and the rest fat. And the portion was small, sorry for $28 that better be a nice lean piece of meat and a healthy portion. Flavor of the food was ok. I'm sure the talent in the kitchen is spot on and can do better than what I've received. And why are they putting the utensils on the bare nasty table! Anyways. Hope you have a better experience.

    This restaurant was recommended by a good friend of mine....BIG MISTAKE.....decided to try it out Friday night...accompanied with my wife and friends of ours we arrived around 7:30 pm, we where seated 2nd flr about 10 min after arriving...waitress came over took our drink order brought us menus...we ordered appetizers..the smoked salmon dip, wood fired grilled octopus, and black angus burnt ends...the appetizers Where ok nothing out of this world...we received our drinks that where watered down liquor with ice...and we where brought over new silverware the server placed on the dirty table he also left the dinner napkins all of which had a terrible odor...we asked for paper napkins and advised server the napkins smell...next we ordered our main course i had the cast iron skillet salmon, my wife and friend had 12oz beef strip lion, his wife ordered the low and slow ribs, we also ordered sides of mac n cheese, marble potatoes and corn bread...the salmon was ok not what i expected, the beef lion had a good flavor, but the low n slow ribs they outdid themselves.,.horrible they where burnt to a crisp..looks like they sit under a heat lamp..should be dry and crispy ribs... the waitress came over and realized the ribs she just served us where burnt she apologized and offered to replace them at that point everyone was already eating so my friends wife ended up not eating .,,the manager then came over and apologized like always offered us free dessert He stated the chef agreed the ribs where burnt and apologized again..my friends wife ordered the brownie sunday, my wife was going to order and the waitress said that would be enough for all of us...the server brought us fresh silverware along with the smelly napkins...dessert was even worse than the ribs. Looks like the brownie was not even cooked thoroughly, after 1 bite we where done...bill came 287 for the price definitely not worth it...my wife and i eat at many high class restaurants this one you are paying for the name and location because the food is awful and there is not even a good selection ...we will never come back here again...

    As always, Swine is on point! After attempting other happy hours in the area, we found ourselves at Swine Happy Hour where we were seated immediately, attended to admirably and served deliciousness! We enjoyed: $5 drinks; Swine Old Fashion made w/bacon and Run Pig Run Punch $5 sliders (2/order); yardbird fried chicken sliders and fried pork belly BLT sliders with pickled onions NEW ITEM ALERT: Alabama Chicken Wings, grilled to perfection and served above an Alabama White Sauce that will make you change your mind about Nick Saban (not really, but they taste great!) To top it all off we enjoyed DESSERT Triple Chocolate Texas Toast Bread Puddin'. I normally don't gorge out on extra chocolate-eee plates, but this has the perfect combination of chocolate, fruit (mandarin oranges) and bitter coffee ice cream. All in all, I must thank SWINE for what otherwise would have been a terrible Happy Hour Adventure!

  • Melissa S.

    Been to swine on numerous occasions and the food is above average and on some occasions excellent but Friday nights service guaranteed I will never return. I'm not sure what went wrong in our server Bryan's day but it wasn't an excuse for the awful service which ranged from tossing food on the table and taking off without bringing plates, or speaking to us, to throwing menus down in the center of the table, or never coming back in a timely manner to ever take additional orders to passive aggressive comments and attitude. We had to ask the manager for plates, ordered several dishes from the bus boys and were there a ridiculous length of time. Saving grace of the night was Robert who kept our water glasses filled and recommended a delicious dessert to end the night. Without him, we would have walked out.

  • Nabila Y.

    This place was great. I went for the first time with my mom on a Monday night. We ordered the pork ribs and the black angus burnt ends. Wow !! That's all I can say about the burnt ends! This place is pretty pricey for a southern BBQ place but it is in the heart of coral gables so that's understandable. If you do go to swine please do yourself a favor and try the black angus burnt ends! I wasn't too fond of the ribs. They were I believe the bigger kind, spare ribs. They were a bit dry and was not easy to chew. Maybe that's the style since I'm used to baby back ribs which they don't have. Nonetheless the ambiance was great. The decor was very nice and it's great for big groups! I recommend this place to anyone!

    I love Swine. My wife and I have eaten at Swine numerous times already and we never left disappointed in the food or the service. Although the food is a bit pricey, I can honestly say that It is well worth it, considering all the mediocre overpriced restaurants that surround it. The chefs at Swine consistently put out great food, in which I will pay extra every time to have that perfect bite over and over. The restaurant also has a great, fun atmosphere. Small yet tall (two story) but not too crowded. Beer and liquor, pickled veggies and smoking wood all stored around the restaurant neatly, contribution to the overall southern style ambiance of the dining room. Don't come to swine on a tight budget. This restaurant is not cheap. If you're hesitant to try, bring a few buddies or arrange a double date and split plates, I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

    Friends have always told my boyfriend and me about Swine, and last night we finally decided to go check it out. The environment was cool and chill. We made reservations, so we got seated quickly. I am a huge cornbread fan, so we started out with a basket full. It comes with two cute little jars, one with maple butter and the other with blackberry jam. It was DELICIOUS. Now, I consider myself a bit of a cornbread expert, and this was seriously some of the best cornbread we had ever had. I also suggest that you slather that bad boy up with the maple butter because it was so. freaking. good. My boyfriend and I decided that we'd save some of the cornbread for the entree, but we had a lot of trouble keeping ourselves from gobbling the whole thing up. In the end, willpower prevailed and we each managed to save a half of a slice...this is not to say that we weren't eyeing it like crazy though. As for entrees, my boyfriend ordered the ribs (BIG portion, by the way), which he kept raving about, and I got the burger. The burger was great but not out of this world amazing. That being said, I loved their fries, which I suggest you dip in the maple butter and jam. We also ordered the mac and cheese, and THAT was amazing. It's both crunchy and gooey and just all sorts of yum. My only complaint is that the portion is a bit small, but with the cornbread and our entrees, it was enough for us to share (we actually ended up bringing almost half of our food home, and we're usually able to clean up). The service was also really good. The waitress was nice, helpful and attentive. She made sure to check up on us throughout the night. Also, my glass was never empty! Any time I got down to about a quarter of water left, someone would stop by a fill it up. We had an awesome time! We definitely want to come back and try those angus tips... and gorge on more of that yummy mac and cheese and cornbread!

    Communal/Shared Dining Experience. Low-lighting. Classy Casual. Expensive (unless during HH). Full of Flavor. SPECTACULAR! This place converted me 100%. I am obsessed with southern food now and even chose to have it at my wedding! Happy hour is also a fun feature and they have great cocktails to choose from! The pecans are really unique and we love the burger, ribs, brisket, and mac & cheese. They also have live music during the week and communal tables. Definitely one of the top places in Coral Gables and Miami.

    I don't know what else to say that hasn't been covered in the other 388 reviews at the time of writing this review. Location: Phenomenal Decor: Outstanding Service: Exemplary Portions: Plentiful Menu: Perfect Flavor: Delicious Desert: Second to none From the moment we walked in, we were pleasantly surprised. Do yourself a favor, check out Swine, its not the cheapest of places but definitely hip and different. Southern flavor with a modern twist. Deserts are homemade and fresh. The honey bun and oreo cookies were a hit Pork Sandwhich is my favorite lunch item, and waffles with bacon are my favorite dinner option. I don't know what else to say?

    I am conflicted about choosing a rating for this establishment. The food was ok but the service was extremely lacking. I liked the burnt ends appetizer . We enjoyed the BBQ chicken and the lovely roasted potatoes. The flavors were just delicious in the house BBQ sauce. The food was well seasoned and we would have stayed and had dessert and more drinks had the waiter been more attentive. The server was never around to refill drinks . We had to hunt him down after waiting 30 minutes for him to even take our order. Then we waited quite a while between courses and he never came by to ask us how are me was. Then we had to get up and hunt him down to get our check. All of us had empty beverage glasses that were never refilled. We were seated upstairs. Maybe servers don't pay attention to the guests seated upstairs? I don't know. The food was actually very good but unless the service steps up we will not be returning.

    My birthday dinner with my wife and sister-in-law. I had been looking forward to trying this place for months. The manager was manning the host stand when we arrived. I let him know that 2 other guests were going to be very late as they had been hung up at work. He was disablingly perplexed and explained he could not seat is until they arrived. The hostess next to him solved the problem by suggesting a table/section where there was flexibility to add to our existing table if necessary. Thank you. Seated, ordered drinks. They were good. Appetizers ordered, out of the smoked fish dip. We had the "burnt ends" brisket app which was very good, and the fried green tomatoes, which were a 7/10. I had the brisket entree. Just ok, not what I was expecting from the smoker menu of a restaurant touting southern cuisine. My wife had the pork shoulder. Small portion, mostly fat and bone. Flavor of the actual pork was again, ok. My sister had the octopus... Texture was right but a little too fishy for fresh. Dessert. My coffee was served room temp. 10 minutes and finished dessert before it came. The sticky bun was very good. $200. Won't return. Too many other southern options in the area.

    What an out of place restaurant. I mean who would expect great bbq in Coral Gables FL. The atmosphere is upscale barn with reclaimed wood and brick on the wall. There was a nice lunch crowd for a Tuesday. The food is fantastic. Some of the best bbq I have had in a while. They have a great selection of single malts and bourbons to go along with the extensive food menu. Started off with the beef brisket chilly. Had great flavor and just the right amount of heat. The crispy pork caesar was interesting though I found it a little too crispy to eat sometimes. We ordered the mac and cheese for the table and it was delicious. It came out in a small iron skillet, rich and creamy with a ton of cheese. Finished up with a nice espresso and a great lunch was complete.

    Pretty amazing place. 5 Star all the way around. -Food. The 1/2 rack of ribs is outstanding. Some of the best ribs I've ever tasted. Jalapeno cornbread was good, although it wasn't too warm. Kale salad good. Chili good too. Dessert of sweet potato pie and salted caramel ice cream were delicious. -Drinks: Unique. You can't find drinks like the ones here in Miami. Very good. -Atmosphere: I feel like I'm in an upscale barn here. Authentic and very comfortable. A non-Latin influenced true Southern restaurant. The kind of place you'd find in Tennessee, Alabama or Georgia. -Service: Excellent. Genuine, caring and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and giving recommendations. -Overall experience: This place has a wow factor. Very special. I'd definitely come back.

    Well, this place really let us down. I only go to this kind of expensive restaurant on special events, and this time we chose Swine to celebrate my husband's birthday. We have been looking forward to meet this restaurant since we moved to Miami, and I have to say that it was very disappointing. We ordered the BBQ Bone Marrow as we were curious about it. It was not bad, this kind of texture is not my favourite, but it had a lot of taste. The bread served to complement the dish was too dry and overcooked, but its flavor was the best of the day (yes, bread flavor was the best :( ). Definitelly not woth of $18!!!! The Country Fried Bacon & Waffles was OK, but we expected more. The bacon didn't taste as a good bacon should, perhaps due to the cover it had. The whole mixed with waffle worked out. And finally, The famous 14-Hour Smoled Brisket was very dry and tasteless, awfull presentation and poor complements. I liked the decoration and the distribution, but it was a very very noisy place. We were almost jelling to talked to each other. Overall, in my opinion, this place is overrated and overvalued.

    I've been to the sister restaurant yarbird and was dying to try swine after reading reviews on yelp. I went with a small group of friends for my birthday dinner. My experience was life changing. I need an excuse to return here for their brunch which I've heard is good. The food was fabulous. The concept is similar to yarbirds in terms of decor but unique with 2 levels of seating. We shared a few items, some of which were the the bacon & waffles, Brussels sprouts, cornbread and mac and cheese. My mouth is watering just thinking about the food. The Brussel sprouts were delicioussss. The bourbon dipping sauce was heavenly. My friends got the brisket and i can't remember what else. We just couldn't stop talking about the food after stuffing our faces. Sadly, I was disappointed with our waitress. She was too slow on a slow night. Unacceptable. She said that we couldn't order milk and cookie dessert due to time constraints and the kitchen closing.I was upset because it was my birthday. But swine is a must try! There is something for everyone. RUN, don't walk. You surely won't regret it.

    Burnt tips are to die for. Great staff. Great ambiance. Corn bread was good not the best I've ever had. I also got the half chicken and ribs. Half chicken wasn't seasoned well enough. The ribs weren't fall off the ribs. A bit tough. Mac and cheese was okay not the best. I celebrated my birthday and the staff was great!!! I would definitely return for the burnt tips!

    The fried green tomatoes are firm and flavorful. The mac and cheese is the perfect amount of creamy. The brisket was perfect. The atmosphere is rustic, yet upscale. The service was very good. My one critique is the price. The food is really, really good Southern BBQ, but you are paying mostly for their high Gables rent. My husband had a cocktail and I had a glass of wine. We shared two appetizers: fried green tomatoes (3 slices of tomato) and octopus (which was slightly overcooked and rubbery). We shared an entree: the brisket (4 smallish pieces of meat with a piece of white bread) and an order of mac and cheese. The bill (not including gratuity) was over $100.

    What can i say about Swine!!!!!!! 50 Egg inc does it again!!!! This place is def something Miami was missing. Before this place Miami had limited pic on Southern Cooking.

    Saturday night table for 2. OJO that the Miami Spice menu isn't available on Fridays & Saturdays. We loved: the fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, 4-7 pm $5 happy hour punch & old fashioneds, salmon & pork. The Texas toast dessert was yummy, but by the time it came out, I was so stuffed that I couldn't enjoy it too much. The only miss were the beets. Meh. Nothing special. Our server, Mike was attentive, helpful and friendly. Minus one star for: the beets, not showing on the website that Spice isn't available on Fridays & Saturdays, being out of the Piña Colada drink, and giving us one receipt when we split the check (the second one fell on the floor somewhere, our server said). Looking forward to going back! Enjoying the smoky campfire smell of my clothes.

    Went to Swine for lunch this past Thursday with a party of six. The first thing that stands out is the wonderful hickory smoke smell. My vegan and vegetarian co-workers were not the biggest fans, but it really adds to the flavor of the place. The ambience is awesome, very modern yet country. Several members of my party couldn't help but take pictures of the cool setup. I ordered the Ribs with Mac & Cheese, Grits, and Corn Bread. The Ribs were a little disappointing, but the sides were all amazing. I also got a chance to try out the Swine Burger, which was something I wish I had ordered. My vegan and vegetarian co-workers were all satisfied as well with a cauliflower and apple soup and the large variety of salads. The real problem we ran into was the service or lack of. It was a workday and we expressed our urgency, but our server kept disappearing and we ended up at the restaurant much longer than we would have wanted. So do not come expecting a quick meal, but if you have time to kill the food is well worth it.

    Our family friends recommended this place as being really delicious and quite satisfying. We went here on a Friday night and were really satisfied.

    Amazing amazing amazing! I've been to dinner and brunch and both times I was impressed by the service, cuisine and ambiance. I had the best birthday dinner there this year. We had a long table but the upstairs bar which was beautiful and it felt very private although there are other tables in the upstairs area. The food was really yummy! A little fatty, but we'll is expected which is why you are going to a Southern style restaurant in the first place. Highly recommend it for dinner!

    This is review is a little late -- oh, well. I had been wanting to dine at Swine for a fairly long time due to all the great things I had heard. I'm also a lover of all things pork, so I figured it would be a match made in heaven. I was SO HAPPY to have had the chance. I LOVED everything I had. The service was on point, which having worked with restos in the past, is a thing I pay a lot of attention to. It had been our first time and our serve was more than happy to suggest dishes, which is what we ended up eating. Plates are a shareable size and everything makes you want to lick the plate at the end. Looking forward to returning.

    3 stars only because I went in hopes of having some Sweet bad ass pork n beans! Well I couldn't have it. You see I have an issue with an unfortunate food allergy and its chicken. They pork n beans are made with chicken broth so i couldn't enjoy it... However the waitress made every possible attempt to get the chef to accommodate my issue, but unable to. Kudos to you for your help. about the place, if I had space for a man-cave, this is exactly how I would have the decor, the place is freaking cool! Next guys night has already been scheduled, however booking a spot for 8guys maybe hard.

    Where else would you find great food, top notch service and fine spirits from a crew who know their trade, products and how to treat customers. The upstairs bar is a find stocked with small batch bourbons, whiskey, scotch and more where you can eat, drink and tables that overlook the downstairs buzz. What is even better than hitting the high notes with flavor profiles from well-made dishes ...is getting great recommendations from the staff. Started with the Burnt Ends and Fried Green Tomatoes that Nadia recommended. Awesome! The meat was tender and had a crisp, hearty taste that needed savoring before the next bite. The corn bread was a tad sweet for my tastes for the dish. I would like a firmer version myself but I can see how it can appeal. But paired with the Fried Green Tomatoes BLT, made for a great tasting meal that hit the spot. Drink menu is varied and offers a variety to please. Especially when the drink menu is leather bound with more pages than the food menu. Tried the Good Ritten Sour which was a good start. But the Barrel-aged cocktail is the drink for those who appreciate a clean, neat spirited drink. However, nothing is better than finishing a meal with a good scotch, bourbon or whiskey. Favorite Bourbon tonight was Buffalo Trace experimental with a rich smooth finish. Old Forester had a cleaner yet sharper finish. But the wall of bottles will allow someone to find their poison easily. Brisket was off the wall, I was told. As is much more on the menu. Allegra is a wealth of knowledge with the fine spirits and makes sure everyone is well taken care of along with Randy who checked in to make sure everything was going well. Need I say more...I have to be back.

    Southern cooking meets luxury! I fiercely believe in the quote "You get what you pay for" and Swine proves it. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it so mouth watering that I'm writing this review three days later because I'm dying to go back? Yes. Swine was recommended to me when I told a few friends about my appreciation for its sister restaurant, Yardbird. I was not disappointed. I wouldn't call it "overpriced" because the food is THAT good. Sure, I can get Chicken and Waffles at Popeyes for 1/10th of the price, but that doesn't even come close to the amazingness Swine's Country-Fried Bacon & Waffles has to offer. Being the gracious man that I am, I offered to devour any leftover Mac & Cheese my friends didn't finish. Delicious. As for drinks, I had the Mexican State of Mind. Strong and spicy, in a good way. I highly recommend this place and I can't wait to come back! (Also, I'm a little baffled at Vegans giving 1 star reviews. The restaurant is called SWINE, not salad.) Oink.

    I'm updating my original review. My first experience at Swine must have been a truly off night. Since that time about 11 months ago, I've been back at least 5 or 6 times and every time has been great. Service has been exceptional and the food is easily some of the best in Miami. So lemme re-cap: I clearly bumped my head for my first 2-star review. I was wrong and I'm glad that I gave it another shot. Lovin' the Swine now!

    I enjoyed this meal. My wife had the pulled pork and it was a bit dry for our tastes, but edible. I ordered the burger and it was one of the best burgers I've had in Miami. Have no fear in ordering a burger here. The star of the night was the bone marrow. Delicious! We finished it up with the sticky bun, which was also great.

  • Marli E.

    The food was utterly DELICIOUS! We ordered the Burnt ends as starters with cornbread then the brisket steak and Mac and cheese as our meal. The portions are good enough to share with someone.. The brisket steak is smoked for 14 hours so it literally breaks apart at the fork. The seasoning and sauce is just amazing. We ordered from their selection of craft beers to compliment the food. It's a beautiful restaurant and the waiter took the Time to recommend food and drinks depending on your taste. Very well informed. The only downside is just parking. Depending on the time that you go, the parking at coral gables can be a bitch but other than that HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Hubby and I went for our anniversary. They treated us to an amazing dessert with a white chocolate happy anniversary sign on top. Food was stellar and service 5 star.

    So the original plan was to go greenstreet cafe for brunch however parking was horrendous. Thanks to my girls quick thinking, we audibled to Swine. If you've been to Yardbird then the interior looks familiar. We sat upstairs and it was pretty nice. My date had the pulled pork-eggs and grits, it was so damnnnnn good, grits were so creamy and delicious while thepork was the perfect balance of salty and savory. I had the Country Cut Bacon and Waffles, unbelievable! The Waffles were perfectly cooked and the bacon, it's on another level when it's thick cut and fried. I Wish we had room for dessert cause we saw a couple with a sticky bun that looked delicious. Can't wait to go back.

    It was shocking that Swine has no beers on tap. Upon entering it's woodladen narrow interior, this sexy spot begs for beers on taps yet no. Related to Yardbird in SOBE, this is also a professionally run destination. Foodwise- hits and misses. We did have a sour German wheat bottled beer which is good. Ordered @ lunch Peach salad with crispy pigs ears Cobia Sandwich Fried chicken breast sandwich The salad came underdressed and even after I sent it back for dressing was boring except for the peach & pigs though the greans were nice, it was uninspied. The sandwiches fared better and they were both tasty, tasty- the fried chicken breast was done to perfection. Service was very sweet though the hostesses here may have a stick up their proverbial arses. It migbht fare better at brunch.

    First things first. The service is OUTSTANDING. Having said that, we had high expectations for the food, after all the reviews we had read before visiting. However, we were a bit let down. The brisket was very very tender, as it should be after all those hours of smoking and that was great. But as for the taste, it just didn't wow us. Their mac and cheese is phenomenal! I never thought mac and cheese would impress me ever. Anywhere. But damn that was good. Overall, ehhhh. Just a bit overhyped in my opinion.

    READ THIS FIRST: It is a very nice use of space and the interior is done well. The music was very loud upstairs because you are closer to the speakers but they will turn it down for you if you ask. I love smoked food and slow smoke my own meats once a month or so. However, the wood smoke odor in the restaurant became a little over whelming and I even left with the smell on me making a business mealdifficult. I had the Boudin and although it seemed perfectly prepared and thought out, the boudin itself was flavorless, not dry or over cooked but flavorless. That is unfortunate because the rest of the dish showed very well and the use of the leeks lent itself incredibly well to what the dish should have tasted like. I didn't finish it. Also, I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the ultra crispy casing, almost bread crumb like. But if the boudin had flavor I might never mention the casing part. I also had the Brisket Steak. Like most of the menu, very interesting reading dish. I forget the waiters answer when I asked but it was somewhere between 12 and 15 hour slow smoked meat. Contrary to the flavor of smoke in the air of Swine, the meat had less smoke flavor than I would hope for. I think the smoke flavor that I did get from the dish came for the sauce they put on it. The sauce was very good to excellent but I'd rather go a brisket steak without sauce and let the meat speak for itself. It did seem plenty juicy. The one problem was that it was sauced and put on the grill a little too long and too much of the sauce burnt. It was then resauced. Had it not gone too long on the grill it would have come out very nicely. The corn relish was a nice refreshing side and showed well in and against the BBQ sauce. The grits were not quite southern grits, of which I am not a fan except on rare occasion. Although these had been modernized they still came off as unmemorable. Maybe it was as simple as missing salt. All said and done, I would order that dish again and/or recommend it. The downside is that my entire meal took so long that the manager comp'ed it without mentioning it. Except for the wait, service was very good and professional. It was 40 minutes to the boudin and an hour and 5 mins to the entree. The waiter said the kitchen was short that day but I saw 2 tables come in after me order, eat and leave before I even received my entree. I don't think this is a common problem and based on the way the management handled it I am comfortable with returning. Is it an upscale BBQ joint? Yes, is that a bad thing? No. Is it worth the prices they are charging? If you are willing to pay it, then Yes. Will I go back? Yes. If this review was helpful to you, click a link or add me as a yelp friend.

    I've eaten here twice and both times the food was amazing! Go ready to eat a lot and be very full when you're done! The drinks are amazing as well and the atmosphere is very cool! This is a favorite stop for business dinners and I'll definitely be going again!!

  • Jenny R.

    Finally got to try this place out and loved it. BACON EVERYTHING PLEASE. Mac n Cheese was good, hush puppies had a nice kick to them but it was that smoked pork shoulder that really melted in our mouths. We both had the old cuban guy drink, it was really refreshing after a long walk on the mile to get here, so we each had two. Prices are what you expect for Gables, NOT CHEAP. We shared the meal and we even took left overs home, so in that case it's bang for buck, and run on the treadmill after that. Only complaint is the noise level, it was Tuesday night and LORD IT WAS LOUD. The decor is great for a date.

    Four YELP stars is pretty darn good so my wife suggested for her birthday today we take a drive down to see the Miami Law School I've been supporting with my son's tuition for the past two years and stop in to this highly rated BBQ place. I have high expectations for BBQ because I dabble in it myself and have watched BBQ Pitmasters for years learning from the likes of Grand Master of BBQ Myron Mixon, Tuffy and Big Bob Gibson (who's recipe for dry rub I've been using for years now). We arrived at around 5PM and the 5 in my party were hungry. We ordered the burnt ends, deviled eggs, and fried green tomato's for an appetizer, to be followed by the 1/2 pound of brisket, the bacon and waffles, shrimp and grits. two orders of ribs and a kale salad for Grandma (which she enjoyed but had nothing to do with BBQ) Commenting on each item I would say the Burnt Ends were 75-80% fat. To be fair my 26 year old 6'3" 230 pound former Cornell Univ. tight end and Miami Law Intermural Football Championship football team member son, said his two pieces of burnt end were more edible than everyone else's. I think his eyes are better than ours so he grabbed the two best pieces of the two full orders of burnt ends? The deviled eggs were decent (pre-made) but far from say, "Coconuts" made to order deviled eggs in Ft. lauderdale, which is my gold standard for restaurant deviled eggs. The fried green tomato's were nicely done so in all I would say the appetizers were no eventful experience, especially because the prices at Swine are no value! Oh I almost forgot we had the corn bread which was three little mini muffins. They were quite good and fresh tasting, but not when considering the quantity (tiny) or value $$$? We also tried the fried Brussel Sprouts which were good but not as good as Sakaya in Miami. The Mac and cheese which we had three orders of (at the waitress suggestion) was good and very rich with tons of rich cheese. Let me get right to the real BBQ. The ribs and Swine's 1/2 lb of Brisket. The ribs were very well prepared. Good smoke flavor and just the right/correct amount of pull to get off the bone for competition ribs. The rub they use is lame by competition standards but overall I would say that ordering the ribs is your best bet because they're one of the few non fatty products, and other than my knock on their lame rub, they are good (need sauce). The 1/2 lb of Brisket was so fatty that it should be called 1/2 lb of fatty brisket. Moving on to the chicken fried bacon (pork belly) and waffles, i would say the waffles were good but our pork belly thick slices were 95% pure fat. The Shrimp and Grits may have been the best flavored entre we had of the lot. The recipe was a good one. The grits could have been creamier and the shrimp bigger, but the overall flavor of the dish was good. Considering we had a very pretty and sparkling personality waitress, the meal was tolerable. It was my wife's birthday and we mentioned it early on, but to our surprise they brought 5 forks for the one person (not my wife) who ordered dessert. The poor girl (my son's girlfriend, who is a "Law Review" smart and beautiful, accomplished student at Miami Law) thought she was going to have to share her slice of pie 5 ways? They even put a candle in her pie and it wasn't even her b'day? That was a very tacky way to handle a birthday. The bill came to about $340 with the tip ($68/person with no alcohol?) I think this place will never see us foodie's again, but the atmosphere and vibe are nice .For drinks and a snack I might consider it, but for serious BBQ I still haven't found anything local that will compare to real BBQ. I have found reasonable burnt ends at Pride and Joy (Miami) but little else to write home about there since they stopped serving the Garlic BBQ shrimp that was world class. In all Swine is very expensive and unfortunately has plenty of room for improvement in many areas. It's a nice friendly place but foodie's looking for the real deal will have to keep looking. Because a place has nice drinks, good atmosphere and service, is just not going to cover for super fatty Brisket, super fatty Burnt Ends and acceptable ribs brought out to the table in no particular order? We got our appetizer deviled eggs last? I almost forgot to mention that I have never seen a BBQ type restaurant that doesn't serve BBQ sauce? They had a little tiny 1 ounce thimble of a bad brown sauce served with the super fatty brisket, but not one of us liked it or felt it was worthy of a BBQ sauce designation? Everything was dry. I feel secure in saying that those who think Swine is a great restaurant worthy of the four stars I am seeing here, are those nice folks looking for good drinks, decent service and possibly a nice burger, breakfast waffle or salad (which Grandma said was very good) and possibly a good dessert. I suggest they haven't been to Tennessee, Texas, Missouri, Georgia, North Carolina or other BBQ hot spots to eat Swine at it's best.

    O M G..... I don't even know where to begin. This place is AMAZING!!!! Just had brunch here today for the fist time and was absolutely blown away. I highly suggest that you do as I did and elect to come with friends. We ordered several things off the menu and passed them around the table, family style. Starting with the cornbread, homemade, with jalapeños, cheese, and BACON! Yes... BACON! Cheese hash, chocolate waffles smothered in Nutella and topped with fresh sliced bananas, followed by burnt ends and their take on a Benny! Did I mention Bottomless MIMOSAS?!?! :o Service was incredible, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. On several occasions, managers dropped by the table to assure that everything was exceeding our expectations. Watch out Hillstone, there's a new player on Ponce!

  • Laura C.

    Swine has absolutely delicious food and drinks. The pulled pork and eggs on the brunch menu is to die for and all the sides they offer are equally as delicious. For dinner, my favorites are the Swine burger and the ribs. This place is definitely one of the best in Coral Gables!

    Went again recently. Upping it to 5 stars. Service speed was perfect and quality is consistent. This will definitely become a regular spot, particularly for happy hour and their happy hour bar bites. Those pork sliders are unbelievably good.

  • Diana P.

    Totally blown away! Define irony: a vegetarian and a non-pork eater go to a restaurant named Swine for dinner...and end up having an absolutely delicious meal. I had high expectations going to this place, but they by far exceeded them. From the moment we arrived and were so warmly welcomed, to the visit to our table by the chef, every bit of the dinner was great, and obviously helps to have great live music playing in the background. We had the fried green tomatoes, brussel sprouts, mac and cheese and the kale salad, all made for vegetarians. I am now looking forward to going back and taking more people with me to experience the very cool vibe of this restaurant, where you don't even feel like you are in Miami. Plus...I want to come back with enough notice so I can try the corn bread without bacon! Highly recommend it to both meat eaters and vegetarians.

    The bone marrow was out of this world!!!!! We had the Pork and beans and although the size of thebplate was enough to feed 2, it was great to take some home and keep enjoying it. The collard greens were also delicious.

    The pulled pork 'n' eggs brunch dish alone earns this place 5 stars! Came here with a large party and the service was excellent. Everyone ordered something different and it doesn't seem that you can go wrong when ordering. I have also been here for happy hour a few times. The food aspect of the happy hour menu isn't very extensive so we ordered a few sides that served as appetizers that we split. We ordered the homemade cornbread, fried brussel sprouts, and mac & cheese. All three items were absolutely delicious, especially the brussel sprouts. They were cooked to perfection and the apple and bacon add really interesting flavor. I always recommend this place to people visiting the area!

    This place located on Ponce de Leon, a half block off the Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, has a very cool look. It is a very tall, industrial looking space with exposed brick and lots of rough-hewn wood. Great vibe with a busy bar where they make excellent drinks. True mixology going on here; the drinks are made with care. I liked the Old Fashioned they had with Bourbon infused with bacon. For my meal I tried the half rack of ribs. They were very good, though the barbeque sauce was a tad too sweet for me. I almost wish I tried the double burger which looked great and was made with pork as well as other meats. Later I tried two desserts that were outstanding. The sticky bun was exceptional and paired nicely with the ice cream it came with. As a side I tried another ice cream flavor, salted caramel, which was excellent.

  • Marisa C.

    So I've been twice once for breakfast and another for lunch. I'd have to say breakfast here is by far better. When we went for breakfast there was small items, such as biscuits and fried chicken. I dream about the banana bread here too. The second time when I went for lunch it was okay, nothing like my first visit. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries. The spicy sauce and the chicken was not as great as the first time. My boyfriend got the shrimp tacos, they only came with 2 and the side was tomatoes, which you could not substitute for fries.

  • Heather S.

    I've been here several times and have loved it each and every time. I went last night and it wasn't crowded at all, it was perfect. The only thing that I couldn't help but notice was that since it wasn't busy, the waiters stood around talking while our drink glasses remained empty for quite some time. The quality of the food is excellent and everything was delicious so even though I was a little annoyed that my waiter was standing around talking, the food made me forget about it. Unfortunately, later when I got home, I started to feel very ill. I have been in bed ever since with food poisoning. My boyfriend ate the exact same thing as me and he was fine. The only thing that we didn't share was I got sweet tea and he got lemonade. When I finally got a refill of tea, it did taste a little funky so I didn't drink all of it. I guess that's what did it. Tea is tricky like that and needs to be made/cleaned properly or else harmful bacteria will grow and make people sick like myself. I'm still giving 3 stars but I will probably not go back at all or at least not for a very very long time. Sucks that my $90 dinner went to waste.

    We came for brunch on a Saturday around 1:30 & it was pretty empty. They sat us upstairs which gave us a great view from above. To start off we had the biscuits which my bf really enjoyed, but I didn't care for them. I had the cocktail Ford and the Giant Peach which was good and he had the Ready Aim Fire which really had your lips on fire (very spicy). For brunch I had the burger which was good but I was expecting great. He decided to step out of the box and have the Country bacon and waffles. He isn't a fan of thick cut bacon which was why he didn't care for it but it was very good. The service was great! If I were to return I'd want to try the ribs and Mac n cheese.

  • Fed C.

    I just want to throw a reality check out there. While this place is good and it has definitely established itself somewhere where it is very hard to do so (Gables), it can improve on many fronts. The service needs work. Twice, I've waited over an hour (almost two) for a meal during lunch and the last time I was there, I wasn't comped one thing or received an apology without soliciting it. For those interested in knowing about the food, it's creative, appealing and worth a taste although you should be aware you are paying a premium for BBQ. The burger, which some call the best in Miami, is simply not. I don't care if you put pork in your burger, I need mine pink. However, the brisket is something special and hard to match in South Florida. Also, in a rare twist, the ceasar salad (with bacon and anchovies) is magnificent and the red velvet cake is the best I've ever had and pairs well with a bourbon or single malt from their extensive list.

  • B. T.

    This was a very fun night out in Coral Gables. Excellent food and service. Great cocktail menu and beer selection. The chicken wings were "out of this world" good. The best thing on the menu. We also shared a bunch of sides which were all tasty and ordered the heritage pork which we also enjoyed. The ribs were just ok, kind of dry to be honest and they also upsold us on the sticky bun for dessert and frankly, it didn't do much for us. But everything else was great and overall it was a very good experience.

  • Alexander P.

    I had high expectations for this restaurant, but they were beyond met. The quality of the service was great! Everyone was friendly and extremely helpful. The quality of the food was amazing. Nothing felt reheated or even the slightest bit cold. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! If there is anything bad I could say about this place it would be the price. Don't get me wrong, I understand the notion of you pay for quality, and that remains true to this establishment. HOWEVER, some things here seemed a bit too high in price for what you get. Off the top of my mind, the soft drink and one of the desserts. I forgot the specific prices, but when I saw the bill I was a bit taken away by it. But all in all, the prices remains true, considering the dish itself, quality and the location of the restaurant. In a nutshell would I come back here...YES!

  • Jo W.

    Oh my god, I'm in love with swine. Talk about amazing service, fabulous food and a great atmosphere. To kick the meal off, a Kale Salad. Yes really, a kale salad and a damn good one too. Kale = meh, but throw in some cornbread as croutons and all the other great addition and you have a salad that makes you say mmmmm. Okay so I loved the Cornbread so much that I had to have even more. It got even better. Once you add that butter and jelly to it, you'll be in heaven. For my main I had the Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich. I would snatch some chickens and pluck them myself to get a sandwich this good again. The Swine Burger was on point too. Burgerliscious if you ask me. Dessert if u want to call it that, I call it my everything. It was kind of like, everything's does not go together, too many different flavors, but after slobbering it down, its wow nothing has even gone together so great since peanut butter and jelly. The Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Berries, Cashew Graham Streusel and Mango Sorbet was on point. Lunch at Swine was divine.

    I was looking forward to dinner with friends I hadn't seen in a long time, and we thought that Swine would be a great place to meet. It reminded me of a nice, pretty girl with no soul. The place was nice. The hostesses were nice. The waiter was nice, when we saw him. The food, well, there was no soul. The Burnt Ends were mostly fat, and there was none of the crispy bark I was expecting. When, my swine burger came, I thought I might have been teleported to Johnny Rockets. It looked like they ran over there and grabbed a double with cheese. It was tiny, dry, over cooked, and totally lacking in flavor. My companions got the brisket which came in noticeably two separate sizes. It looked dry and unappealing. The most disappointing of all was the mac and cheese... Runny, tasteless, and the only evidence of cheese was the topping. Hint, drain the macaroni! Overall, I think the atmosphere is nice, but food wise, I'd rather stand on the street in North Miami at Bo Legs Barbecue, and eat food that cost a fraction of the food at Swine, but at least it has a soul.

    Amazing food, great service, chill atmosphere. When I didn't like my drink the manager was more than happy to switch it out. The lemonade is AMAAZINGGG. The food is fresh and creative. The ribs were delicious. It is pricy but well worth it. I can't wait to go back.

    THIS PLACE IS THE BOMB! omg, I can't even. Come for happy hour from 5-7pm with deals on drinks and appetizers. I got the Run Pig Run Punch and it was delish! If you don't like your cocktail too sweet, try the Blackberry Bourbon Smash. Good price, good drink = thumbs up! There are a lot of old fashioned drinks if you're into bourbon. Then for dinner, I highly recommend: - Burnt Ends = hands down must try if you are to pick a dish. It is AMAZING! - Sticky Buns = might as well just jump to the dessert and your dinner will be complete. This is a MUST GET. An explosion of sweet and salty, warm and cold in your mouth! my gosh. Other good dishes: - Ribs are also very good, but I do prefer it a little more saucy/juicy. It's not quite the fall-off-the-bone ribs like other yelpers have said, but it's good. - Pork shoulder - Shrimp and grits I forgot to get the corn bread. I subconsciously was planning my next visit I guess.

    Swine is the sister-restaurant to my favorite place in the world: Yardbird. My dinner at Swine 2 years ago was incredible. Drinks creations were amazing, pork was delicious, everything perfect. The price outside my budget, the drive to the Gables, and my aforementioned obsession with Yardbird had kept me from returning until this week. I was finally able to try the much talked about SWINE BURGER on the lunch menu. The awards and praise are well deserved... this thing is flawless. Definitely on the favorite burger list. Absolutely a reason to return again and again!

    Having been to their sister restaurant Yardbird I was very excited about Swine. My girlfriend's best friend was in town from New York for a wedding and they wanted to meet up and have brunch it was a perfect opportunity to try out the restaurant. I ordered the Pork N Eggs and the Jalapeno cornbread. My girlfriend had the Big biscuits and the Swine Hash. I was blown away by my meal, The pulled pork was so mouth watering and the combination between the poached egg and cheese grits was simply sensational. This was orgasmic and was full of flavor. The Corn bread was on point. Great corn flavor and I was surprised it had bacon in it as well. Wasn't dry and it wasn't too moist either they got it just right. The big biscuits where nice and plump, they had a home made butter that I forgot what was inside if it but it was delicious. I think it had maple or molasses. The service was great and the waiter knew the menu very well. No complaints and I WILL be coming back soon!!!

    I'm salivating thinking about brunch earlier today. I had the brisket and eggs. Came with a generous portion of brisket, 2 sunny eggs, and a big side of cheesy hash. The brisket was nice and tender, fell apart easily, and just super yummy. The husband got the swine burger which was also delish. The burger was nice and juicy with 2 pieces of thickly sliced pork belly inside. It also came with a side of fries. We were so full already but got the sticky bun to share for dessert and we could not help but finish that as well! The sticky bun was warm and came with a little scoop of sweet potato ice cream, a sugar brittle, and candied nuts and bacon. How could you say no? Aside from the food, the service was excellent. Waited only a few minutes to be seated.. But it may be much longer if you're in a bigger party. My water glass was always full. Waitress always making sure we had all we needed. I will def be back for more Sunday brunches after church :)

    I can comment only on drinks and service since I did not eat the food (though the menu sounds amazing and I'll definitely be returning soon to try!) After having dinner across the street, a small group of us decided to go for a nightcap, and the bright red shining letters that read SWINE came across my vision, immediately drawing me in. The vibe of this place is very different than many a traditional Miami restaurant, with its dark wood and down home country vibes. Drinks are served from mason jars and seemingly endless bottles of whiskey line the bars walls. We were lucky to find three open bar seats, since the restaurant was packed and has limited seating (fits less than 100 people). I opted for the blackberry bourbon smash (I believe this is what it is called) which was expertly crafted and absolutely delicious, with fresh mint and orange peel along the rim. A friend of mine ordered the Old Fashioned & Makers on the Rocks, which were very generous pours. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. From the looks of how busy it gets, I highly recommend you make a reservation. Can't wait to go back. :)

    Two weeks ago my boyfriend and I went back to Swine. Our first time had been for dinner so we decided to try out the Sunday brunch this time around. To our surprise they had bottomless mimosas for $19 per person, this was an immediate plus!!! The server was attentive, friendly, and knew the menu well enough to recommend certain items. Mike had asked for the brisket and eggs but they ran out of brisket.... That was not a problem because from brisket they upgraded the meal to a 10 oz steak! I had the pork, grits, and eggs, my meal was good but I wish I would of gone with the dish I ate the first time I had been at swine(bacon and waffles). Next time I will not miss out on the bacon and waffle! To top off our meal we had the sticky bun with sweet potato ice cream... It was incredible!

    We stopped in for a early lunch (11:30am) and the place filled up very quickly. The swine burger was a delicious twist to a traditional burger. It was so juicy and perfectly balanced. The pickled onions provided a great compliment to the layers of cheese. The fries are made in house.

    Only came here for drinks, but the cocktails we had were delicious and left an impression. I had a Good Ritten Sour, and I was a little skeptical about a wine/rum/rye cocktail but it twas balanced out nicely by an egg white (egg whites are so hit and miss in cocktails) and it definitely got the job done. It also smelled really good as far as food was concerned, will have to come back for dinner next time I'm in Miami. Side note: The decor here was a welcome invitation from the usual flashy/modern bars that I've seen in Coral Gables, I loved that it was rustic without making me feel like I'd taken a wrong turn and ended up in a barn.

    Best meal I had in Miami. I love everything about this place. You walk in and it smells amazing. There's wood everywhere. Cool black and white pictures adorn the walls. They've got funky old light bulbs. They play tons of blues and Otis Redding. So right off the bat, I wanted Swine to be an actual human lady I could marry and impregnate. Instead, it's just a restaurant. Anyway... I was there for brunch, so I sadly missed out on the amazing dinner options. But I enjoyed the following treats... * The Swine Burger ($16) - Short rib, brisket and smoked pork, all rammed together in a patty. There's also cheese and bacon. I really liked this. It was super juicy. In retrospect, I wish I'd gotten a main dish that was more barbecuey. Because while this was good, it also just tasted like a good burger. And I came here for BBQ. * Cornbread ($9) - You get four delicious muffins. It's cornbread. If you don't know what it is, blame your parents for raising you like an animal. * House-made sausage ($8) - Four slabs of sausage. Fairly tasty, but perhaps my least favorite dish. The service was outstanding. Servers were always on hand to fill your water or clear your plates. For example, I took the wrapper off my cornbread muffin and they came by to clear just that. JUST THE WRAPPER! Amazing. I believe after I left, I still had a wonderful smoky smell on my clothes. I may or may not have sucked on my sleeve the rest of the day.

    Best bbq I've had in a long time! I recommend starting off with the burnt ends, which are melt in your mouth goodness. The Brussels sprouts (which is my least favorite veggie) was pan seared with green apples and was so amazing! This place is a little pricy but great ambiance and food for a once in a while splurge

    Been here twice. Once for dinner with 4 ppl who were all happy. I got some big ass burger that was delish. Others in my party got brisket, pork shoulder, and chicken. All excellent. Fun atmosphere in there. Place has a really cool vibe. Brunch was a bit disappointing tho. I got the BLT Benedict that came out without bacon or hollandaise. After sending it back, they added bacon but still not hollandaise. It was good, not great. The place is definitely worth checking out, but perhaps not as consistent as it should be.

    Great music selection playing. Excellent whisk(e)y selection. OK beer selection. Interesting decor. Had the grilled octopus appetizer - which was tender, but basically flavorless and the ribs which were knife and fork tender and had decent flavor. Staff was friendly. Way overpriced though. Octopus, ribs, and two beers came to $62 before tip. Overpriced as far as value, but typical for area.

    Forgive me Swine for a have sinned. It has been 6months since I have visited and tasted one of my favorite burgers in all of South Florida. I have been singing your praises to all my friends to go and taste it. All of your food is amazing, not just the burger. Keep doing what you are doing. Oh, I forgot, that spicy ketchup concoction...rocks. Gotta bring the wife down soon for a meal and some bourbon.

  • Katy P.

    Swine's devil eggs are award winning, you have to order them for an appetizer. And for the main meal you are trying the swine burger. This thing is epic. It has short rib, brisket, smoked pork blend homemade dill pickle, thick-cut house-smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, American cheese, and their special sauce. My advice? Be close to a bed for nap time.

  • Yara V.

    Great place, great location, great service, great taste! The bloody mary was like none other seen before. Very cool, and tasted delish! The decoration is this type of industrial look that is super! The mac and cheese looked heavenly. The staff was super helpful and very nice. I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for something different in Miami. It was a little bitty noisy, thats the only thing negative I could say if I had to. Loved it though ;)

  • Diana Z.

    Every time we go there, it's amazing. From the service to the food to the drinks, it's always great. My boyfriend and I have gone for brunch and we get the Shrimp & Grits along with something else and split it. But, we always get the Shrimp & Grits (highly recommended). For dinner, we both agree that they have a delicious burger. Go to Swine! Oh, and cornbread... get that too.

    After much huffing and puffing, the big bad wolf finally caught the three little pigs, slaughtered them and grilled them to perfection. It took him a while, but it was worth the wait. Swine successfully mixes succulent southern-style food with a bachelor's degree in culinary arts. And serves delicious, artery clogging, pork-inspired dishes that satisfy the "big bad wolf" in you.

    Everything was delicious. No longer have the Oreos or salted caramel shakes though which was a bit of a bummer. Still everything was very good. Had the burnt ends which were awesome. I had the ribs which are also great. Couldn't finish them. Finally for dessert the homemade cookies with jack honey milk was great.

    Have you ever felt like you need a break from Miami, but you don't have the luxury of jumping on a plane at a moments notice? As much as I love this city, I must admit, I've had that feeling... I'm happy to say I found a place where as soon as you walk in the door, you feel like you've left Miami. walking into Swine, is like being reunited with an old friend.. The friendly welcome, the sweet aroma, the sound of happy chatter throughout the room. Immediately you feel excited, and you realize, that old friend is food. The décor at Swine is Modern Southern Barn.. And the are options for tables, booths, and communal seating. We were fortunate enough to be seated immediately. Our waiter, Erick, was very helpful in explaining the menu options and offering his best recommendations. My choices were the grilled wedge salad and the smoked Brisket. Both were amazing! The portions are enough to share if you don't want to be a glutton and keep all the deliciousness to yourself. While enjoying our meal, the manager, Roly, came by to greet us. He was very helpful and friendly as well, a rare touch for a Miami restaurant. He made dessert recommendations and made sure we were well taken care of. He also went over to greet our neighboring patrons who sounded just as impressed as we were with the service. To finish the night, we ordered the dessert special, chocolate bread pudding with chunky monkey ice cream.. Heaven! Thank you Swine, I'll book my next trip soon ;)

    Great place. The brunch menu has plenty of variety. The food is really good. The biscuits with the butter and yam are delicious. Their egg Benedict's are made with their biscuit instead on an English muffin and pork belly, It's really good. They offer a bottomless mimosa or Bloody Mary deal for $20, it's very well worth it. We were a group of seven and our waiter was great, very attentive and funny. The valet is convenient and its $8.

  • Carrie D.

    Um....YUM!!!!! I am in love with Swine and I want to go back today and every day for the rest of my life. If only fat girl food was healthy! My recommendations: The chicken wings for SURE!!!!! The burger was the best I've ever had! The shrimp and grits were the best I've ever had! The mac and cheese was awesome and the sticky cinnamon bun desert thing was off the chain! Also, the drinks were delish! The cuban drink was SO good! Impeccable service. I am pretty picky and they really step it up. The prices are high but I truly believe the food and service are worth every penny. I will definitely be back!

  • Andreina G.

    I genuinely enjoyed it. The restaurant smells like barbecue -- a smoky flavor in the air. We ate upstairs overlooking the bar. The staff was so sweet and they spoke to us in English and Spanish. We tried the burgers and the ribs. To be completely honest I don't think I've had such a good burger in a long time. The meat was tender and flavorful. I'm not one to get a burger in a barbecue joint but it was amazing. We also had cocktails, and mine was strong and delicious. At the end the waiter came with milk and cookies and sang happy birthday and it was the cutest thing.

    Pretty awesome way to intro to Miami after 10 years. Hipster bourbon bar and expensive pickled sides for your well prepared meats. Love the dark and wood Southern motif.

  • Rich S.

    Easy to make reservation on Open Table... Showed up and were seated immediately. The interior design is awesome. Really rustic and western. Smell of BBQ fills your senses! Service was good and the waiter was very enthusiastic. The cocktail I had was the "Swine old fashioned" which was made well and came at the recommendation of the waiter as one of his favorites. We had the Smoked Brisket entree which was RIDICULOUS! Tender, smokey, sweet!!! The broccolini was good to Counterbalance the meat. We were slightly disappointed with the 1/2 Rack of ribs. The flavor was good but it wasn't that tender and you really needed to work at the bone to get some meat... Definitely overcooked. Overall would come back again and try the other items and indulge in desert. Hopefully next time ribs won't be overcooked.

  • Cristin R.

    I felt this restaurant was due for an update, since I originally wrote the review in the first month of restaurant operations-- not entirely fair for the restaurant owners. Even Daniel Boulud and one of my favorites- Jose Andres don't live up to the 5 star mark in the first month of operations, so here goes. 1. The ambience. 50 eggs creates the best dining experience, overall.. from the actual design of the restaurant, to the uniforms, to the drink choices.. its really amazing. 2. The smokers and food make the best bbq in Miami.. you can skip out on shorty's for a fine dining bbq experience. 3. THE DRINKS. I haven't been to pat pong yet, but 50 eggs drinks are something to talk about.. try the Mexican drink.. thank me later. 4. Go for lunch or brunch so you can get the burger. The spicy ketchup that accompanies the fries is also that good. but the burger.... yummm.. that burger! I could eat a burger everyday, and if it were the swine burger, I would be in hog heaven. EAT THE BURGER. thank me later. you should also try the Kale salad if it's still on the menu because the cornbread croutons are amazing. What else is amazing? - the grits that come with the Brisket plate. DO THE PLATE. the grits melt in your mouth. and naturally, end with any dessert, but if you're me.. you'll end with the sticky bun. second best to knausberry farm. 5. They mastered the hostess situation. they may not be Hillstone yet, but they are on the way.

  • Syrel R.

    The best hidden treasure in the heart of the gables. Every time I have gone, the food has been spectacular. First off, let's talk drinks. The old fashioned here is off the charts. They use maple syrup instead of sugar cubes to make this cocktail & that's been their best idea yet. Wow, has to be one of the best old fashioned's I have ever had. Now let's talk food. I never leave here without getting the Mac & cheese. If you're in the mood for Mac & cheese, this is where you need to go. The Mac and cheese has bacon in it (they had me at bacon) and it's topped with more cheese & breadcrumbs. Can you say YUMMMM!... Now let's talk about their cornbread. Jalapeños, bacon, cheese.... And the maple butter with blackberry jam that it comes with, well let's just sat that it will leave you speechless. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves savory food. Just don't plan on going out after dinner at this place, you will be stuffed. But so worth the food coma.

  • Michelle N.

    I usually don't write reviews but this restaurant is worth the effort. By far, the bacon and waffles are my favorite. Served with a bourbon maple syrup, the bacon is melt in your mouth delicious and the waffles are delicious on their own and as the perfect compliment to the savory bacon. The portions are big enough to share with three if you get two sides. The ambiance is nice for a date, yet great for happy hour or a girls night. Go hungry because this place is "unbutton your pants" good.

    It was the first time we visit after talking about going for the longest time. This place is reallly really good. The atmosphere feels like you are in a totally different place. The service was very good, the waiter was incredibly knowledgeable and recommended several dishes. The only drawback was that one of our plates never made it on time to the table (ironically, it was a simple chicken salad) The food was very good too. The burnt ends were well made but to me, the highlight of the whole food experience was the the bone marrow appetizer dish. OMG!! Soo good!! You can eat family style (although the serving sizes seemed small) or a la carte - you pick. Next time, we will try for the a la carte menu, just to try something else.

  • Vic R.

    I went for lunch on 3/6/15 and ordered the slow smoked brisket with okra and beets. I also ordered the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. I received 3 slices of fried green tomato for $12. The brisket was good but it had some rather fatty parts. The okra and the beets were excellent.

  • Gabriel T.

    This is the kind of place that makes you wish you had a second or a third stomach to enjoy the full menu in one day. Everything from the entrees to the rack of ribs is awesome. Not me mention the fact that they have a huge selection on rye, bourbon and whiskey, actually they are one the few places that carry Pappy Van Winkle. Friendly staff, they are not wandering around, everyone looks busy all the time, the girls are gorgeous (especially Rosy) and the check is what you are supposed to pay for fresh, well prepared and great tasting food.

    Coral Gables needed this so much! A new great place. It shows on the always present 40+ minutes wait for dinner any day of the week. Food is great although very heavy! Drinks at the bar are amazing! Way better than its Yardbird sister unless you are not into pork!

  • Anna M.

    This place was really good! As soon as you walk in you're greeted with the amazing smoky smell of slow roasting pork. I ordered the pork shoulder, which was great and perfect for sharing. Also tried the mac an cheese. But there were so many things on the menu I wanted to try. I was not disappointed by my choices though. The service is quite good. Attentive and friendly, would much rather be here than anywhere in SoBe. Their drink menu is the best. The couple of cocktails I tried were great, not sweet and not skimpy on the alcohol. Well done swine!

  • Spencer A.

    I am certainly not easily impressed by most restaurants. Swine is a novel concept of fusion cuisine with southern cooking. Lunch today had a limited menu that contains beef, pork or shellfish in virtually every dish including the cornbread. Erick our server tried had to accommodate by dietary strict restrictions both limited by cholesterol and the laws of Kosher. I was very clear about what I could and would eat. When my Kale salad with snapper was served I thought was having ONE of the single most delicious meals of 2013--until the server informed me hat the cornbread croutons with my kale salad and grouper contained both bacon and ham something in my wife's veggies also had pork. Appetite completely lost---and the one relaxing work free lunch a week with my wife was ruined. A concerned manager rushed to comp my salad and offered a mediocre fruit salad in plate instead of the entrée. Unacceptable. My wife's entree was described by her as "amazing." Would I come back? Probably not and here's why: The whole meal in my mind should have been comped after such a blatant mistake, or at least a desert offered. Or a return for a free dinner? Why, because it ruined my taste forever to return. But what would one expect at a place called Swine? Should my experience deter those who eat pork and beef even when baked into the bread? No. Enjoy and don't tell them I sent you.

    The food was so amazing! The atmosphere was laid back, and they had a live bad performing upstairs. The drinks were so different than anything I had ever tried and they were so good!

  • Millie G.

    I went to Swine with my husband a little before happy hour started. It really doesn't live up to the hype. I would only go here for Happy Hour if I was to go back, which btw their happy hour does't include any food items. Try their punch that was delicious and my husband liked the the beer he tasted it was the Naragannsett . We tried their quiche and pulled pork and eggs. The pulled pork that was good not great but good. My husband did say maybe their dinner is better, because lunch was very disappointing.

    Made a reservation for 14 People... They said "no you didn't." Terrible!!! Don't let this happen to you. The Manager did not make much of an effort to correct the situation. He answered all of our Questions with a Question.

    Listen to me. Don't heed the advice of others. Just pay attention to everything I'm going to tell you and do as I say. Number 1. Order the bone marrow. Number 2. Order the 14 hour smoked brisket. Number 3. Order the fried bacon and waffles. Number four, dip that shit in some hot sauce and pour a lil' syrup. Then take that shit to the face. That's right. Even the water here is fucking delicious. Now. The service. I felt like I was vacationing somewhere I'd never been before. Every word spoken by the waiter was calculated to stimulate the senses. The food was described in food porn context. There are these wood cutouts on the roof where the light emits from, its pretty epic, if you find them, think of me. You will feel like you're John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. Hair slicked back kinda swag. Just come here, and you'll know what I'm talking about.

  • Maggie C.

    I love this place the service is awesome! The BLT Benedict was delicious , my aunt ordered the ribs and as always were very tender, I ordered pulled pork over grits with an egg on top which I guess if you like over easy egg it would compliment the dish but I like my eggs well done. I found it to be too much for the dish but the grits and pulled pork was very tasty. My daughter ordered the kale salad , a side of macaroni salad and Brussels sprouts which we all enjoyed. The only thing lacking in this southern restaurant is maybe one tv in the bar area so I could watch the World Cup.

  • Tanya R.

    My partner and I were in town for the holidays and were told that the Swine experience was a must! When we walked in we were greeted not only by the incredibly mouth watering aromas, but by the wonderful and accommodating staff as well. It was near closing but the manager assured us that there was plenty of time to order dinner and enjoy a cocktail. We chose to sit at the bar upstairs because of the view (we love to people watch). We wanted everything on the menu and were quite indecisive, but luckily the manager Jennifer came up to check on us and suggested a few dishes and we are so thankful that she took the time with us because everything was spot on! Bacon cheddar jalepeno cornbread, fried brussel sprouts, kale salad, Mac and cheese and a gorgeous stack of ribs...a foodie's dream come true! Top that off with a vast selection of whisky...This place is a must when in Miami! It makes me sad to type this knowing we won't be back for a while. Best food experience and service during our vacation in Miami.

  • Brittany J.

    I love me some mac&cheese, and this is the best. The cornbread with bacon is awesome too...they bring you little jars of homemade jam and butter. Haven't really tried a full course here, just appetizers and drinks. All of it was amazing.

  • Vienna F.

    I usually don't like writing negative reviews, but I was so disappointed by Swine. I will give 2 stars for the friendly service, drinks and decor. I've had Swine on my list for a while so I was excited to finally get in. No prob on the wait and I was impressed by their cocktail selection, but our food was nothing to write about. It was an unpleasant surprise. It's a fun place to grab dessert and a cocktail, but we were not impressed. I think people get caught up in the thrill of a new neighborhood restaurant and the visual of a new dish, but not noticing the flavorless food. The dishes looked like they were packing some punch, but failed. After our meal all I could hear was the horn sound effect when someone loses on The Price is Right show. "Wha-wha-whaaa"

  • Kristin G.

    Came here for my birthday dinner with my husband and sister and her fiancé. They did not take reservations, so we put a name on a waiting list. They said it would take about 20 mins, so we sat at the bar and had a drink, and then 20 mins later, we had our table! I ordered the Pork and Beans, and it was EXTREMELY good! I basically licked the plate clean. My husband ordered the ribs, and it was amazing as well. Besides the price, I would be back here every chance I get. Definitely worth the experience.

  • Alex R.

    Absolutely impeccable! As a southern belle I'm very picky about my barbecue/American cuisine. It's a family style setting so you get to try it all. Everything from my drink to dessert was pure perfection, including the service which still gets me excited! I'm definitely coming back because there are so many things left to try

  • Noe N.

    This place is great to visit once for the brisket, which was great. It was pitched as enough for two people, but four small slices of beef shared by two is not enough and at $26.00 a la carte is a bit excessive. We had 4 corn muffins for a whopping $9.00, which were okay but not worth the price. The $10.00 mac and cheese was warm at best, and looked like it had been sitting out for a while. The sticky bun dessert was just okay but no biggie either. The decor is very cool and the service was great, but at these prices I expect better food and bigger portions.

    (3)

  • Charity Z.

    Love this place. Been there 3 times already.the brisket is off the chain! The best shrimp and grits ive ever had, comparable to the plate i had in South Carolina. One of my fav places for Southern comfort food. just be prepared to wait but totally worth it,i promise sticky buns are to die for ,everything about this place deserves props,from the minute u walk in your senses will be stimulated,trust.

  • Brian C.

    This place has a modern yet very country feel to it. Located in Coral Gables, you'll most likely not find it unless you're looking for it. When you walk in, you feel like you stepped right into a barn that has been converted into a restaurant. You'll never know that you're in the middle of a city, which I like. The designers did a very nice job on the decor and overall feel and vibe of the restaurant. There is a small bar directly to the right of the hostess /check-in area and upstairs where we had a couple more drinks at the end of the night. They have a good selection of drinks with a whole section dedicated to my favorite liquor, whiskey. We had a reservation, but had a couple drinks before being seated. The hostess was very nice and showed us to our table when we were ready. On to the food. The menu, as stated earlier, is dedicated to the most magical animal on the face of the planet, the pig. We had bone marrow, cornbread, and pork cheeks. The pork cheeks were ok and not that memorable, but the bone marrow and cornbread were amazing. The marrow had good flavor and had a good consistency to it. The cornbread was moist and fluffy. Combined with the spreads that were provided, it made it that much better. For the main course, I had the brisket. The brisket was moist, had tons of flavor, and basically melted in your mouth. With the right combination of seasoning, fat content, and just the right amount of char, this was the best thing on the menu. Other people in our party had the duck and the ribs. The duck was also good. I have found that every duck I've had in Miami tends to be on the dry side. This one was the first duck that was actually moist and tasted like how a duck was supposed to taste. I am Chinese so I have eaten my fair share of duck and have eaten duck in many different places in LA and Hong Kong. The ribs, however, was actually the one I was looking forward to taste all night. What a let down this was. Dry and tasteless, I had half of one and didn't want to finish it. Being a BBQ place, you would think that the ribs would be one of their specialties. It is on the menu, but the taste just wasn't there. The whole table agreed that the ribs were by far the worst dish of the night. Minus 2 stars for that one. It was really disappointing. Overall, this place was good, besides the ribs, can't believe the ribs were bad. The service, drinks, and atmosphere were very well done and I see this place staying for a while. Just be sure to kick up your rib game. Especially with a name like Swine. You can't have a name like that and not deliver on ribs. C'mon!

    Sunday Brunch was exceptional at Swine today! Our visit started off a bit rocky when we were told by the hostess that we would have to wait 20mins, after we called ahead and was assured there was no wait and no reservation needed. After about 15 of those 20 mins, my husband asked again and we were told another 20 mins so needless to say we were agitated. An awesome manager came over and rectified the situation and had us seated immediately. We then commenced on a wonderful spread of Brisket and eggs with hash and Bacon and waffles for my hubby. Fresh, steaming hot coffee and bottomless mimosas!! During our decadent brunch we where greeted by a total of 3 managers who checked on us to make sure we were satisfied and this is when we met Julio! Julio is the BOSS!! We talked, he made us feel welcome and wd soon forgot how the day began and it made the food and the atmosphere so much more exhilarating. To top it off, Julio gave us a sweet dessert of Sticky Bun to take home on the house and that sealed the deal for us!! Moral of the story: GREAT FOOD, GREAT ATMOSPHERE, AND EVEN GREATER STAFF!! We will definitely make this a monthly drive down from Broward and take our friends with us!! Kudus to Swine and especially to Julio!!

    Are you southern? Whether that's a yes or no, who cares. Come eat here. My family and I ate here last night and boy did we have a grand 'ole time splitting their southern dishes. Here's what I recommend: Hoppin' Jack, the $57 ribeye (you'll thank me later), BBQ half rack ribs, smoked pork shoulder, mac n' cheese and for desert: "Slice of Heaven". Great location. Great ambiance. Sick looking bar upstairs. Bless their heart.

    Really good. But also reeeeally expensive. And I'm not sure I'd go back to Swine if I wanted to spend that much dough. It's not enough of a "special occasion" place. I had the ribs, which were yummy, as most ribs are. My favorite were the brussels sprouts! And also my drink, the Homestead Bound. We got the Sticky Buns because they had raving reviews, but I just found it to be just okay, to be honest. Not out of this world. The service was great-- I loved our waiter, a handsome bald guy who knew the menu inside out. He was awesome. The atmosphere was really neat, felt like I had stepped out of Miami. If I were to go back, I'd go just for drinks, and perhaps a small dish.

    Swine may just be better than its chicken sister Yardbird. Went here for dinner during Gables restaurant week and it exceeded my expectations. The food was simply decadent. We got bone marrow, mac and cheese, and my boyfriend ordered off the restaurant week menu which offered hush puppies, brisket, and cheesecake. This was PLENTY of food for the both of us, and I can eat! We thoroughly enjoyed everything and were especially impressed by the bone marrow, please do not deprive yourself of this beefy buttery goodness! Overall, service was excellent, food was flavorful, and our whiskey drinks were on point!!! Will definitely return :)

    By far the best place to eat if your looking for food thats out of the ordinary. I've gone 3 times and each time the food has been excellent. The bacon and waffles are my favorite so far and the swine burger is excellent aswell. Also make sure to try the swine old fashioned if your a whiskey drinker.

    I came into Swine today for brunch with some friends and had an awesome meal. Once again, Swine doesn't disappoint. After having eaten, we wanted to roll outta there and take a siesta! What an awesome way to start my Sunday : ) Let me add that our waiter Miguel - which was on point and very attentive - recommended me an Old-Fashioned with Pumpkin (WHOA!!). It was really yummy. All the dishes I've ever had at Swine have been really good. I'll add that I usually go with the waiters' or friends' recommendations. So either I have good luck or all the dishes at Swine are nothing less than delish. Today for brunch here's what we had: -Mac & Cheese -Brisket steak & eggs -Country fried bacon & waffle -Crispy brussels sprouts All in all, Swine always hits the spot and has become a neighborhood (or perhaps city) favorite. Come in for a meal or even just a drink - you won't leave disappointed. The food has very good flavors and is well seasoned (wow what a concept!) and the scotch drinks are well...I have no words. Plus the staff is always so welcoming and willing to go the extra step. So next time you're in the Gables or just hungry and looking to go out...go to Swine and give it a try!

    Way better than Yard Bird! Feel like it's to expensive for bbq. Beer selection is weak. Whiskey selection is great. Overall the food has tasted different each time I've went. Never bad but definitely can tell the difference between shifts.

    Okay so my first foray into a 50 Eggs joint (Yardbird) was not the best but I will be honest THIS place has changed my mind. My first impression on walking into Swine was a good one. From the hostess to our table, in less than two minutes. I loved the feel of the place it's like a chic hole in the wall it was great. Our server Miguel was AMAZING, polite, knowledgeable and just overall awesome. We got a basket of biscuits with Blackberry jam & butter before our meals came out which were ginomus and tasty. I had the Pulled Pork n' Eggs...absolutely delicious. The meat was tender and well seasoned it's not a sweet BBQ its more vinegary and tangy so a heads up to those of you who like your BBQ caked in sweet sauce. My eggs weren't over cooked and they actually cooked the grits correctly. They weren't all grainy and dry, they were smooth and absolutely delicious. My sister had The Mornin' Quiche with a side of the Swine Hash which I tried a bit of each myself and they were delicious as well. To round out our brunch, I ordered the Warm Sticky-Icky Bun...oh my goodness. That little dessert right there (as I put it to our waiter) is "Nothing short of the Devil's work". It was by far one of the tastiest desserts I've had and that Sweet Potato Pie Ice Cream...good lord put it in pints and sell it already it's delicious. My sister and I left Swine happily stuffed and ready to go back. I will definitely be going back to Swine. I can't wait to try their Lunch/Dinner menus. As Paul M. a fellow Yelper said in his review "...Swine is Yardbird's hotter, younger sister"

  • Yesenia S.

    A bit pricey but I enjoyed the experience. Drinks are amazing. I'm not a whiskey drinker but thoroughly enjoyed my Good Ritten Sour. The Angus Burnt Ends....OH. MY. GOD! Delicious, cooked perfectly. Who doesn't love burnt ends on any BBQ dish? Weirdos, that's who. I normally hate fatty chunks in meat but this was cooked so well the fatty parts were almost "chicharron-like." The sauce was amazeballs - sopped it all up with those yummy, warm blocks of cornbread that were still piping hot on that skillet. Topped with berro/watercress it was a dish I won't share next time. The mac & cheese is not to be missed. I wonder why it didn't impress me at Yarbird but here I couldn't get enough. Different recipe? No se. It was so cheesy that I had to pull the cheese strings a few times to break it off. Bacon on top was a huge plus. We should all change the phrase "cherry on top" to "Bacon on top." Makes a bigger impact.

    They have incredible happy hours here and even if that is the only thing you have, you should do it. I liked all of the food I tried, most were huge portions. All of the drinks are incredible and I would recommend anything that has barbecue. The atmosphere is a bit dimly light and service sometimes took a bit to get to you but everything else was good. This is definitely a great place to try drinks so I would highly recommend going there for that reason.

    I was holding out on writing a review, but after reading a few others, I decided I would give my $.02 as well. The first time we stopped by, we decided not to eat, because we couldn't hold out on the hour plus wait. The place is always packed, and there is a great vibe when you are there. The bar serves some very unique drinks all of which were very good. This is a place to be seen. But, I have to agree with a few of the people out there, its a little expensive for food that isn't very unique. $32 for 6 ribs that were just smoked with dry rub and some baked beans just didn't sit well with me. I have eaten BBQ all over the south, and I have had considerably better BBQ for less than $10 (and that was all you can eat). If you are looking for a hip place to hang out, then this is it. BBQ.. you may be better off spending less money elsewhere.

    My first suggestion is to make reservations. We had one for 9:15 but got there a little earlier and made a sport out of how many people were turned away for not having one. The service throughout the night was incredible. Our waiter was friendly, eager to make recommendations and never seemed in a hurry, even though the restaurant was packed and we knew people were waiting for a table. Now, lets talk food: Ribs: Really good, although I found them a bit overwhelming after a while. It is hard to describe, but the taste just becomes almost too much after eating half a rack. Some pieces were fall of the bone while others you had to work for, but overall best ribs I have eaten in Miami. Pork Shoulder: My husband loved it, but I found the texture of the fat to be a little icky. The actual meat was very flavorful. Mac and Cheese- good. like really really really good. Worth it and more!!! Anson Mills Green Farro- Only item of the night I was EHHHH about. Too much olive oil and confusing flavors. I totally blame my husband, who ordered it because it seemed healthy. Who goes to a pork restaurant to eat healthy?? Cookies and Milk- Their version of oreos does not disappoint. Highlight is definitely the bourbon infused milk. It tasted like warm pillows and sweet dreams. Warm Sticky Icky Bun- they give the amish a run for their money. really good candied bacon. perfect ending to the meal. So the food was good, the service was great but the drinks....the drinks were AMAZING!!! Old Fashioned was very smooth and had a nice kick. The Water Blossom drink, however, is the reason I would come back. Pisco, tequla, watermelon, limes and acai , it was truly a magical concoction. Hard to describe, but it was totally the highlight of the night. This is a great date night, special occasion place, but not one I could see myself coming to more than once a year. Try it, love it, then come back in a year.

    Love the decor & swanky vibe. I have yet to try to the food, but the bar area upstairs is great. Tell the bartender something that you like... whether it's like lemon, avocado, etc and they'll make a crazy cocktail with it. It's pretty impressive. I have to come back and try the bone marrow; my friends can't stop raving about it.

  • Carolina G.

    Went to dinner on a date. No reservations, they sat us right down. We started with an old fashioned and a reserve specialty bourbon. Both were delicious. We had the octopus and oysters as the appetizer. The octopus was amazing! We were surprised the seafood was fresh for a BBQ restaurant. Main course was the shoulder BBQ, okra and artichoke as sides. The meat was well cooked and flavorful, the veggies were good. Our waiter was present and not overbearing. Overall great experience. Friendly staff and delicious food.

  • Chris K.

    I gave this restaurant another shot as the first review was not great. The service this time was excellent. My guests were impressed. The drinks were also very good. I had the old fashioned. The appetizer spread was tasty (deviled eggs, beef tips, fried Green tomatoes and corn bread). The main course (pork dish and brisket) were OK. Once of my guests had the strip. I was upset to see that they took the milk and cookies off the menu for desert. I will go back but do prefer Khong River House and Yardbird.

    Was expecting more. Cornbread was good. Fried green tomatoes were very good. Brisket was okay... a bit mashy with too much remaining fat. Service and wines were good. Butter accompanying cornbread was very good. Was expecting 4 stars based on word of mouth. Hoping for 5.

  • Cessie C.

    Been to Swine for both brunch & dinner. Both are amaing, but they don't have the brisket for brunch. My favorite cocktail: Tequila, bourbon & Jalapeno infused cocktail. For brunch, I ordered the steak & eggs, waffles & corn bread. For dinner, DEF do the baked brisket, Mac & Cheese & shrimp.

  • Ramon J.

    Ok today I left room (yes was able to after a swine burger) for dessert. Sticky Buns with Sweet Potato IceCream .... What! Beyond Delicious! The sticky bun was light but soooo flavorful. The IceCream was not too sweet. Candied bacon served as the crunch factor. This dessert was a perfect compliment to the meal. Unless you are a member of the Joey Trebiani (remember "Friends") .... Order multiple desserts and share. Woah!

    We visited Swine for a friend's birthday. We were a pretty large group so we were seated upstairs by the bar. At first glance it appears to be a very hip, swanky restaurant. They specialize in barbque with a kick. Delicious food and unique cocktails. I am a traditional girl so none of their specialty drinks called my attention so I went with a cosmopolitan. Now, I am a worldwide cosmopolitan connoisseur so I'm very picky with my cosmos. The Cosmo at Swine was good but in my opinion lacked more cranberry punch. It was very light pink in color and tasted like orange/lemon juice (no bueno). I think I'll stick to the ones hubby makes me at home. For my entree I ordered their bacon and waffles dish. This was AMAZING! Such smoky bacon flavor and paired with the waffles was a divine combination. I also really enjoys the watermelon garnish and the spicy chilly they put on it. Makes the perfect accompaniment. In all I wouldn't give Swine 5 stars, mainly because of the lackluster drinks and their prices but I would consider returning to give it a second shot.

  • Julia K.

    Great ambiance, good bar and service was very attentive. Unfortunately, I was hoping they would actually do BBQ well. Got the ribs (tasty) and the brisket (utter disappointment), along with a side of squash (very cheesy). I can't think of a place in Miami that actually does Texas brisket well, so my expectations shouldn't have been so high. However, it is listed on the menu as a 14-hr smoked brisket. From what we could tell (barely a smoke ring on the meat), it wasn't or was just done really badly. Additionally, the cut was too thick and meat was flavorless. The accompanying sauce was tasty but good brisket should be tasty enough to eat on its own. The ribs were much better, on the sweeter side but I think that's how this style of ribs (KY) are supposed to be. I think Yardbird still has a better menu for the price, but this place is worth checking out as there were other tasty looking items on the menu. Just don't get the brisket.

  • Paul T.

    The only negative is they got rid of by far my favorite thing on their menu for dinner. The Bacon and Waffles is now only a brunch item I was told. Was also surprised with the increase in fish dishes for a BBQ/Swine type place. Besides for that everything was great. Best Grits and Brisket in town. More expensive than most place too, but by far the best. Have been going here since it opened and will continue to come. Though no more Bacon and Waffles for dinner does limit my "want" a bit. Need to come for brunch I guess.

    Came here for brunch on a Sunday, Love the restaurant, it has an Austin, TX vibe to me. The food, oh the food! My husband ordered the fried egg and sausage sandwich, its three fried eggs, three slices of cheese and three sausage patties in between a homemade biscuit, that thing was HUGE and he enjoyed every last bite. I ordered the swine burger, which is a blend of short rib, brisket and smoked pork. Comes with two patties, two slices of american cheese, thick cut house smoked bacon, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes and their special sauce, it was so juicy and delicious! We also ordered the swine hash which is smoked brisket and rib meat, burnt ends, sweet potato and fried onions, it was good but I took leftovers and it tasted better the next day. The Mac N Cheese is to die for, its creamy, crispy and amazing, if you love Mac you gotta order it. Dessert was the Warm Sticky Icky Bun with bourbon maple toffee syrup (you can taste the bourbon) pecan butter, candied smoked BACON and sweet potato pie ice cream, the perfect end to a perfect brunch.

    Seriously some of the best food I've ever had. The decor was on-point, southern-modern and rustic with food so good it makes you wanna smack your momma. Twice. I went for their 1 year anniversary, where they had $2 old fashions and $5 burgers. I had their mac and cheese...and dear mother of lord savior...IT WAS SO BOMB. Do yourself the favor and start saving your pennies for a pricey but totally delicious meal at Swine.

    Alright so I've been wanting to go to swine for a very long time and I finally got the opportunity to go with my girlfriend last week. Although our wait time was for about 20 minutes., It wasn't bad for weekend and it was definitely worth it. We sat down stairs by the bar where was nicely lit and were attended by a very nice bartender. We both had ribs, the fish dip, and the beet salad which we ate in about 5 minutes haha. I had an old fashioned to drink and was surprised to taste the different way that they made it which was amazing! We can't wait to go back

    Aside from the price point, Swine is one of the best restaurants around; specifically outside of South Beach and Downtown. My course for the night consisted of the slow roasted pork shoulder, Mac and cheese (out of this world) and a fine glass of markers mark to top it off. This restaurant is a must visit and only a start to what Miami needs more of, quality restaurants like this. Two thumbs up Swine, three if I could.

    I've been here before and was happy with food and service. However, last night we went with a friend from Chicago, and we all know how good there restaurants are. What a disappointment. And we had been bragging about Swine. 1) ordered a bloody mary and was told there was no more bloody mary mix 2) ordered a glass of wine and it was brought in a carafe and was told they had no more wine glasses, so she brought a brandy sniffer and asked if that was okay. 3) when the manager came to see how everything was and we told him the pork loin was so tough you couldn't even cut it with the knife, he did offered to take it off the bill 4) ordered a dessert after our waitress kept insisting, ordered one and then she came back to say they didn't have any more of what we wanted. After I made a comment of "can't wait to review this place on Yelp" miraculously the dessert we wanted was placed on our table with an explanation of "I found one". 5) the band was playing so loud that even my sister who is deaf in one ear was saying it was so loud. I love music, but I enjoy taking to my dinner companions more. 6) the bill came and it still had the pork loin and she had charged us for 2 desserts. 7) I need a drum roll please on this one.......someone from our party went outside to smoke and saw our waitress run after two women sitting behind us that were leaving, showing them the bill and saying "is this right, I only got a $4 tip" What a joke! I live and work in the Gables and I'm sure I'll go back to Swine again, but I won't brag about how good it is.

    If you are into pork, this is the place to go. I like that it is different from the Cuban style pork that you can get in many places in Miami (no disrespect to lechon, this is just different). Starting with the bar, the bourbon and rum selections are out of this world. I had some rums from Guyana and wow. Banana, coconut and coffee notes on a very light rum (that was 20 years old). Next, the food: We started with the cornbread which was very good, especially with both the butter and the jelly. then we had the Caesar salad, I'm not a big fan of anchovies but we got them on the side, try it with the little fish, trust me it's worth it (the contrast with the pork and the dressing is wonderful). Then we had he shrimp and grits and Mac and cheese, all I can say is mmmmm. The service was great our server was very knowledgable and attentive. All around great experience. I highly recommend getting a reservation though. This place can get packed.

    Sucks !!!!! Food is a 2 atmosphere was good the hostess sat us in a tiny two top when there was at least 4 nicer tables the brisket was the worst ever over cooked and yellow! On the bright side corn bread with butter and jelly awesome !! I suggest a Monday nite though live music although a little loud I was a good change.

    If there's better BBQ in Miami, I haven't found it. I've tried almost everything on the menu and each item has been amazing. I love the look and feel of the place with the wood everywhere and the rustic feel. Love the lunch menu, dinner seems to be the same portions for what feels like double the price. Items that stand-out; The Swine Burger O_o out of control, and the fries with the spicy ketchup awesomness. Also, Slow Smoked Brisket sandwich phemazing fire. Must try both those items. If you have room for dessert, you MUSTTTTTT get the Warm Sticky Icky Bun. WOW.

  • Sabryna L.

    I went here a couple weeks ago and got a salad. It was during Miami spice. I can barely comment on the food, because the service was just so terrible!! I am not sure if waiter was new or what, but basically it took 3 hours just to get our food (we have a 1 hour lunch break). Anyways, so as everyone has gotten the food, which took a full hour, one of my coworkers still hasn't gotten her simple sandwich. We find out that the waiter actually never put in her order, which means we needed to wait ANOTHER hour for her food. You can tell the manager was super upset with the waiter and the waiter rolled his eyes pretty much. So after all this, when it comes time to pay, the waiter actually charged me the wrong price and they then need to void my payment and asked for my card again. The ambiance is really cool and hip, and it seemed like it would have been a good place but the staff needs help.

    Came here for dinner on a Wednesday night, and loved it from the moment I walked in. The place has a really laid back yet somewhat upscale vibe that makes it feel inviting. Great decor. If you like southern style food, then this place is for you. Yes, the food is rich, but that's how it supposed to be! I ordered the brisket steak and grits, with a side of bacon mac and cheese. The steak was tender and well prepared, the grits were doused in butter (just how I like em) and very tasty, and the Mac didn't disappoint. I saw on other reviews that a few people complained about the noise level, but I didn't find this to be a problem. I was able to comfortable converse with my date. The waiter did a decent job, but could have been a bit more attentive however. I would definitely recommend Swine to anyone looking for great southern style comfort food and will definitely be going back. We liked the place so much that we moved to the bar and stuck around for a post-dinner cocktail.

    Went last weekend for brunch with my family and boyfriend. The ribs were perfection on a bone. The only thing I was a little confused about is their side of grits. It's more like a soufflé. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that but it was okay.

    I had a 50-50 experience here. The burger I had was delicious, homemade bacon, two patties, cheese & pickles. We also ordered the brisket which I didnt like at all. Its one of their signature dishes but I wouldnt recommend it. We ordered a pecan pie to finish the meal but it came out so cold that we couldnt cut into it. Id only come back for the burger.

    Horrible horrible experience!!! Decided to take my daughters to eat at Swine last night for their birthday, we were all very excited to try this place out. When we arrived we were quickly seated. It took a little while for the waiter to take our drink orders, when he came back with our drinks he quickly left and did not even ask us if we were ready to order our food. He went around to all his tables then came back to us last and took our dinner order. On the bright side the food did come out promptly. The first two dishes that came out were the corn breads and the burnt tips. Both were phenomenal, that was until my daughter bites into the corn bread after applying the jam that it comes with and chews on something that pinched her mouth, she pulls it out of her mouth and said be careful eating This because it just cut the inside of my mouth. When I took a closer look at what she bit into I see thrones. I immediately called the waiter and very nicely showed him what my daughter just bit into he looks at it and said "omg it looks like a raspberry thorn, I'm sorry about that I'll be right back" he took the 2 inch raspberry stem "with thorns". When he came back probably about 15 min later he said did the manger come and talk to you we said "no". The waiter then sees the manager and tells him did you speak to them. Rick the manager then comes to the table as if he was being bothered, very sarcastic he explains "this was a raspberry thorn you know we pick them fresh and make our jam with it" like if we obviously did not know that, and he walked away. This made me pretty upset Rick the manager did not show any concern what so ever, he was very rude, and short.What if my daughter would have swallowed the stem?it could have been worst!! A simple apology from the manager would have been all we needed. At this point the experience just got worst. Once all of our food arrived we began to eat although I slightly lost my appetite after the incident (it really bothered me the way manager treated us). We realized that our brisket was never brought out, we let the waiter know and he apologized and said he would treat us to a desert that it was on him. Well at this point it appears that they shut the air off it got really hot all of sudden inside the restaurant. I asked the waiter for two deserts and asked him if they do anything special for birthdays, he said "we can put a candle on one if the deserts". We ordered the cinnamon bun and the sinner Sunday!!! Then once again we were disappointed can't believe he brought the sinner Sunday with the ice cream literally melted it looked like soup, the ice cream on the cinnamon bun was perfect. I wanted to say something but I didn't. When we received the bill a whopping $250 later we got no desert for free!! Which was fine because that was not what I came to this restaurant for. I decided to bring my daughters here to have a nice dinner and enjoy a nice experience, which was so not the case!! Just for the record the food tasted amazing but the service was horrible, worst part we all left there with stomach aches!!! Never again will I come back to this restaurant and I will make sure I tell everyone about my experience here!!! Over priced BBQ and horrible service!!!

    It's a concept restaurant with exaggerated features and over priced drinks. To top it off, gratuity starts at 18% to 22% "recommended". The ribs were overly smokey and $26 for a half rack. The burger was $16, not that it was bad, just over priced. And all drinks were $15 and up. That's like Nikki beach.

    I hate to be "that guy" but, I gotta tell you, if you want really awesome BBQ, this isn't the place. The atmosphere and service were top notch so we definitely had a fun time dining with our friends. But, to be totally honest, the BBQ was lacking. Maybe this is the best in Miami but seriously, there are way better BBQ places in Florida (a veritable BBQ wasteland) and certainly beyond in Texas and Tennessee. Why you ask? Well, my ribs were presented beautifully. But, the meat was nowhere-near-fall-off-the-bone and I had to literally gnaw at these spice-less creations. The burnt ends on the other hand were definitely tasty. The mac and cheese was decent. The brisket didn't have a smoke ring or really any flavor to speak of. Sorry. I love the concept but it missed the mark for us food-wise.

    Absolutely delicious southern food, great ambience and friendly staff. Highly recommend . Best to order meats and side dishes and all share in your party . It will enhance the experience .

    Awesome atmosphere. Love the decor and presentation. Reservations are necessary. We had one and still got in about 20 minutes later. The food is a little underwhelming. It's good but nothing to go crazy for. We ordered the brisket, ribs, and brussel sprouts and liked the sprouts best. I wish I had ordered the bacon and waffles. Overall, great atmosphere with mediocre food. But a pleasant experience nonetheless.

    Freakin' AWESOME! Soooo I was eating the candied pecans that were scattered on the plate from the Warm Sticky Icky Icky Bun. Just taking it off the plate and crunching away... the waiter came up to see if we had enjoyed our dessert and I had to stop gnawing away at it like a rabid beast to tell him "Yes, it was wonderful" and he's like "The bacon is good right?" to which I replied "Bacon?" He's like "Yea..." I obviously hadn't read the menu and just got what had been recommended...I was chomping away at candied deep fried bacon... FREAKIN' AWESOME!

    Swine is amazing...everything from their Fried Chicken, Fried Green Tomatoes, Burnt Tips, Grits and Shrimp, Chicken and Dumplings...the have become a place to Go in Coral Gables for Southern Style Comfort even for this Runner. Great Service too! Obviously the Drinks w/Bitters are amazing.

    Came here for lunch on a rainy Wed, the place was empty but I couldn't resist the smell of smokey BBQ that was surrounding this place by a 2 block radius. I had heard great things about yardbird which was on my list of places to go , so I was thrilled to see it was the same owner. I sat at my table and drooled over the cocktail/beer list and was bummed that it was 2pm and I would have to wait for another day to try them. My lunch date was running late and I was soaking wet and starving so I ordered the pig chili, it was piping hot , a little spicy and served with some nice toppings. After my friend arrived we asked our waitress what we needed to try. She suggested the brisket sandwich , it was really juicy and delish. We also shared the crispy pork ceasar , I liked the concept but it was wayyyyy too unhealthy , then for a side was the most amazing part of the meal : the brussel sprouts. They weren't anywhere on the healthy spectrum but they were worth the cals.

    Had lunch for the first time at Swine and it was nothing short of excellent. The swine burger was amazing, you can definitely tell the difference when it comes to the food quality here. The servers are attentive and knowledgeable of the menu items. I look forward to coming again soon to try the brunch that look fabulous as well!

    The DRINKS!! I have yet to go to the restaurant and actually sit down to have a meal. I walk straight to the second floor and approach the bar go to the back an get greeted by a gentlemen named Josh behind the bar. Josh, You were fantastic! Went over to swine after work for "happy hour" and Josh just seemed to know and mix up exactly what we needed. Mixologists at work here. It you don't like the your drink (which didn't happen to me) or even if your just not feeling the menu selection of cocktails just ask Josh, give him the flavors you like and BOOM something deliciously tasty comes out of the bar. I gotta say I have never been a fan of mixed drinks. I usually have mine straight or stick to something traditional and safe. It's nice to see more mixology come to Miami. It really is like watching and tasting the work of chef but all packed into a delicious drink. So if your in the mood for a tasty drink ask for Josh and I'm sure hell take care of you. Pros- 1. Ambience is fantastic. 2. Location is steps off Miracle Mile in Coral Gables. Definitely a happening spot. 3. There is valet and a garage a block down for parking. 4. The drinks! Cons- 1. A little pricey but worth the drinks and the mixology experience.

    The same high-quality, southern-inspired food that you can expect at Yardbird, just a bit further from where I am. Go to whichever's closest. The ribs were succulent and delicious, though if I had been hungry I wouldn't have wanted to share. The beans were a little on the tart/vinegary side for my taste, but I'm aware this is definitely how bbq rolls. The jalapeño corn bread is amazing. Get yourself some. The staff was especially friendly, but not in an overbearing way - definitely a Southern hospitality feel. Again, go if you're close, go to Yardbird if you're closer to that.

    sorry fellow swine conasewers but i was not impressed. let's start by noise level. It was very noisy. Filled to capacity with everyone speaking while trying to compete with the loud music playing. Seats - the seating arrangements were kinda different. We sat upstairs at a very tiny table against the railing - where you can actually look down onto everyone on the first floor. And right in front of you, there is an entire row of patrons looking forward right at you... chairs are not very comfortable... But well we came for the food - with the Coral Gables Week menu on hand, I decided to go with it. Hubby on the other hand tried his luck with the regular menu. We were advised that the servings are "family style" and that if we were to order off the regular menu we should get 2 appetizers, 1 or 2 sides and 1 entree. We start off with "Fried Green Tomatoes" off regular menu. This brought 3 nice size bread and fried green tomatoes. Topped with a healing amount of pimento cheese then a very small piece of pork belly. I felt that the star should of been the pork belly (especially at a place called Swine) and it was unfortunately not. the generous amount of pimento cheese over powered the little jewel on top. I deconstructed by piece scrapping off some of the cheese in order to savor the pork belly which was btw nice and crispy. wish it was bigger thou. Off the coral gables menu i went with the kale salad, Shrimp and grits and sticky bun dessert. It was ok. kale salad was ok - had a nice combination and intention, but oil over powered it. needed a bit more acidity. liked the apples (when i could get one of the very few and thin slices) Shrimp and grits - It was a nice size serving (even thou we were advised ordering from this menu was not family style but a much smaller portion). Grits were cooked nicely, good texture and a bit on the low salt side (which i really did not mind). Shrimp were a bit over cooked for my taste. Demi glaze was really good thou it seemed to me that it would of been amazing on a steak dish instead. The bits of ham it it were a nice texture surprise as well. So were the tomatoes. If we go again, I will skip this dish. hubby went with a "brisket" off regular menu. ok at the start we were told "family style" - his place consisted of 4 pieces (thin slices), pickled onions / coleslaw and white bread (2 slices). If I were to have shared this with him, i would of had the pickled onions only.... he was able to eat all of the serving by himself. the best part was the molases it came with on the side. it was ok for him too..

    DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! Wow what a disappointment this place was. Idk I really wanted to like this place. WHY PEOPLE OF YELP, WHYYYYYY?!?!? The waitress was super nice I must say, but other than that the food is nothing stellar. Also, the prices... Like seriously for that food? Uh huh okay. It was my first time there, I hope it was just a bad day in the kitchen but I will not return.

  • Kelly D.

    Love the ambiance and the menu selections were top notch, however, most items were a tiny bit flawed. A group of us ordered about 6 items to share. The kale salad and brussel sprouts were spot on tasty, however, the mac and cheese and pork lacked that certain "je ne se quoi" you seek when at a Southern spot. Overall, I would definitely return, and stick to the kale and brussels - yum! Sidenote: the cocktails are quite pricey ($15 for a mimosa) ... eek!

    I came here for lunch with my uncle after begging for him to take me for months. It's always packed for dinner (about a 2 hour wait at times), so we opted for lunch. It was Coral Gables Restaurant Week so we got handed a special menu on top of their normal lunch one. My uncle went with the RW menu that included a kale salad, pulled park sandwich and a fixin of beans. I went with the normal menu and chose the brisket sandwich. The Kale salad was so fresh and yummy. Mind you, I hate kale normally. My uncle sandwich was said to be delicious, he practically inhaled it. My brisket sandwich was delicious! Tender, cooked right with delicious swiss cheese and yummy bread. The beans were yummy with a touch of bourbon flavor. The potatoes wedges we got were crispy and when paired with the special ketchup, they were mmmmm good. As full as we were, I HAD to get dessert. I went with the infamous Sticky Icky Bun. OOHHH MYY LORDDDD. So good! My uncle who didn't want any, ended up eating 3/4 of it. It was paired with candied nuts, a bourbon syrup, candied BACON (yes, bacon!) and sweet potato icecream. DELICIOUS. All in all, 5 stars and a million thumbs up. It was super yummy and yes, its a bit pricey but worth it. We're dying to go back to try to dinner menu!

    Food porn at its best. If I weren't in the middle of the restaurant, I would have shoved the ribs down my pants! Seriously, the food was great and the waiter was very attentive. I will be back ..... put me in a dark corner.

  • Cecily K.

    tl;dr: great food, great atmosphere & elegant decor, slightly pricey but well worth it! I've heard a lot of good things about Swine from friends, so I finally decided to try it out when a friend came to visit. Parking was a little hard (it's right off of Miracle Mile), but we were seated in no time. My friend and I split the cauliflower, the hush puppies, and the grilled cheese. Everything was phenomenal (especially the cauliflower!). The cauliflower was sauteed with cheese and pickled peppers and was accompanied by an asiago dipping sauce. I could not get enough of it, and the waitress mentioned it was one of their most popular dishes. The hushpuppies were also very good. It was accompanied by this tabasco-sauce-like dipping sauce, and the hushpuppies themselves were moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. The grilled cheese was made in 3 layers of cheese, tomatoes, and bread, and it was also phenomenal. They have a hugeee selection of alcohol, and their beer selection is very eclectic. I was a huge fan of their Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale, for those of you that like a smooth, darker beer. I will definitely be back!

    Came here for brunch after reading all the reviews. The food is really delicious. My boyfriend and I split the sticky icky bun and the pulled pork and eggs. We couldn't even finish the eggs. The portions are very generous! The sticky icky bun was so tasty. In addition to fabulous food, the decor was cool and the wait staff was friendly and prompt. Wish I lived closer, so I could enjoy it again.

    Not too long after relying on my iPhone's GPS, my two friends and I discovered swine. Entering we are greeted cordially and almost promptly, but not quite, for the hostess abruptly placed someone over the phone on a brief hold to greet us properly. Table for three? she asks and she was correct. We followed and she sat us down at the center of a high communal table with a somewhat decent view of the second floor and three large words, clad with bright lightbulbs that provided me with a sense of humor throughout the evening. Run Pig Run. Before we got a chance to bask in our dining experience a food runner mistakenly places what appears to be ribs in front of us, I guess that communal table might be a bit perplexing to work with. It actually belonged to our neighbors who aside from the, too many to count dishes in front of them they'd also must of not counted their drinks; they righteously claimed the ambiance with their obnoxious loud laughter. I will not mention our servers name, but she was most of all a character. Pleasant and not pushy. The three of us decided that we'd skip cocktails so we wouldn't end up like our foolish neighbors and moved the innovative, everything infused cocktail list to the side and hastily open the wine menu only to come across a tantalizing forty dollar bottle of Malbec, which turned out a spectacle. Once we had deduced that the food menu was not as reminiscent to yardbird as we expected we began to argue over starters, and the winners were: the crispy Brussels sprouts and the Mac and cheese. I guess the pig doesn't need to run just yet, well with the exception of the "greatly implemented" bacon vinaigrette on those (not as crispy as I thought) Brussels sprouts. To end out starters experience the Mac and cheese was surprisingly an original take on a sometimes massacred iconic and simple dish. To say the least, not bad at all, I even considered ordering another one for the table primarily due to the fact that the portion fell just under my expectation. The next dishes consisted of the inescapable corn bread, that lived up to the menu description and was far too comforting on the palate. My dinner buddies agreed. The grits, which our server was kind enough to ingeniously recommend to pair with some honey were "tasty" to state an understatement. Great idea on the honey, if I may add. Oh and the Jo Jo's which are country fried steak fries. These fries certainly would be a must order item if they could only take it easy on the salt back there. The accompanying ketchup was to die for, wait scratch that to live for. I would heavily consider my tomato intake to come solely from this ketchup. Upon ordering the same bottle of wine again, the cooks must have finally managed to catch that pig that must of ran free for about twenty two minutes. So the pig arrives, it's loin at least. This pork loin was the epitome of comfort food, miami's version of it. It consisted of too many ingredients and the server took delight in mentioning them. I personally enjoyed it, but my companions begged to differ. I guess their mouths were far too busy devouring the capstone of this restaurant, to fully enjoy its very gimmick, hence the restaurant's name. The wood grilled 24 ounce bone in rib eye, certainly the most memorably scrumptious pieces of red meat I've had the pleasure of eating in quite some time.

    We were so disappointed and baffled by management's lack of concern for its guest. The restaurant was pretty much empty, considering it's nestled in the heart of Coral Gables business district. We ordered some appetizers: Black Angus Burnt Ends and Deviled Eggs. The Angus Ends were served cold and covered with the cornbread swine BBQ sauce that tasted like vinegar. I called the manger several times, finally he came to our table took the dish back to the kitchen. Ten minutes later the server came back with the dish, again it was cold. They totally forgot the Deviled Eggs. I ordered the Brisket with The Kale Salad, my guest ordered the Swine Burger. We were sitting in the restaurant for 40 minutes before the entrees arrived. I noticed the manger running from the kitchen to the other tables- mind you there were only four tables' max having lunch. All the guests were complaining why the food was coming out cold and late. The Kale Salad was delicious however, the Brisket portion was less than 3 ounces and served cold. What's going on, I asked the manager, he was at a loss of words devoid of an apology. Unacceptable! Asked for the bill, they had charged the Deviled Eggs that were never served. Cold food and reckless service is unacceptable in any restaurant. I will never return to Swine Southern Table and Bar and you should not venture dining there.

    If you are into southern bbq this is your spot. It's more refined than your average southern style bbq spot. It's a nice place and the food was amazing. The bartenders were serious "mixologist" with their old-timey cocktail concoctions that kept me coming for more. The prices are a little high especially if you expect big portions but you have to know what you're getting into at these type of restaurants. They're tapas style places so it's best if you go with a group and everyone shares. We got to try mainly everything on the menu including the swine bone marrow (mmm), and had a great time for our friends birthday.

  • Pedro C.

    Particularly good for groups, this spot is large and comfortable. Wouldn't call it romantic, but it's dark and warm. The smoked menu is excellent but I'd recommend ordering plates off the entree menu as well, to get more variety on the palate other than the smoke. If you have to choose one smoked dish, go for the brisket - the duck is good, but can be tough and/or fatty. The brussel sprout side is pretty amazing and will make you a vegetable lover (although it's smothered in pig parts). Entrees big enough for two, so share a-plenty. If there during happy hour and there's an old fashioned on the menu, grab it.

    Hallelujah! Finally, another addition to my short list of great restaurants in Miami... The 50eggs group is at IT again. This place is amazing! From the beautiful wooden interiors, the amazingly delicious food, tasty drinks, to the holy cow dessert (we got the caramel milk shake) - everything was PERFECT. We ordered the mac and cheese, crispy brussels sprouts, country fried bacon and waffles, 14-hour house smoked brisket -- ALL were great! So just do it - make the trip, the overall value - it's worth it! And this is coming from someone who is a foodie and hard to please!

  • Dan S.

    Obviously overpriced but the food was good. The waffles in the "waffle with chicken fried pork belly" were great but the pork belly tasted like chicken and that was weird. Overall though a delicious dish. Shrimp and grits were fulfilling, I didn't expect the plate to be so large, that was definitely a plus. Ribs tasted great and the meat was tender. The beans tasted like barbecue sauce which is a no-no for me. One lonely okra on the plate that left with the waiter, why? The drink prices were outrageous! $18 for the only drink that caught my attention, I decided to stay sober. The decor of this place is pleasant and the server was attentive, too attentive for my taste but that is American service for you. They took our plates away and someone was still eating so we were left with an empty table just watching my friend eat. Would go again if a group picks it but wouldn't recommend it to anyone because I assume everyone is as cheap as me.

    Everything was amazing. Miguel our server is the man. Waited to be seated by the bar and had some drinks before dinner. Loved the burnt tips they are a great appetizer. My wife had the ribs and I had the brisket. Very large portions but we had them for lunch the next day. Sooo good and you must try the Mac And Cheese!!!!

  • Francisco F.

    Seems like great food but I wouldn't know been waiting for 3 hours plus for a table. The staff doesn't seem to care either. Gave it a 1 star. Update A manager was shocked and disturbed at our situation and remedied it by getting us a table and comping some appetizers. While it made the situation better it didn't make up for the wait. I will not go back without a reservation or on the weekend. The food was amazing and will up my review to 3. Burnt ends, brisket, mac n cheese, and burger were as advertised. Great food.

    Love BBQ and this place was delicious! I love yardbird and swine doesn't disappoint. I had the chili which was thick and not you're average. It was with pulled pork and amazing!! Also, had the burned briskest which you MUST order ! Love the venue and decor inside as we'll. the service was really good and the ambiance is laid back.

  • Peter M.

    Last night with a large party and dinner was great. Been here a few times, prior experience was decent. I previously would have preferred Yard Bird (same owner). After last night I'd say it was great. Best dishes were ribs, burnt ends, kale salad, fried green tomatoes, and Mac and cheese. Desserts were also very good (Sticky Bun and Pecan Pie).

    I was part of a group of 4, and here's what we ordered: Mac & Cheese - Good, but you kind find similar quality at gastropubs or soul-food joints. Sausage Duo - Not very memorable, but definitely edible. Smoked Brisket (2 orders) - Extremely tender and the highlight of my night. Chicken & Dumplin's - Good, but not amazing Memphis-Style Ribs - Good, but not amazing Sticky Bun - Good, but did not live up to the hype. I've had similar quality at a donut chain (Yum Yum Donuts) Red Velvet Cake - Didn't try, but my group enjoyed it. Several Cocktails Bill total was $300 w/ tip. The service was a bit odd. I was definitely expecting something else at this price point. Server kept apologizing for long wait times for our drinks. However, all of our food was timed well, so that means the kitchen runs smoothly. High-end soul/bbq is not my thing. I probably won't be back for dinner, maybe just for happy hour. I'd prefer to spend less money and receive the same quality food at a dedicated bbq joint or soul-food spot. Setting and service are not part of the equation when it comes to this type of cuisine. It's not a good enough value for me...

  • Lee W.

    Prepare to do battle against the Vegans! Best BBQ meal I've had in a long while. We sampled almost everything here. You really cant go wrong. Even if you don't go for appetizers, just get the burnt ends anyway. You'll thank me later. Bone marrow wasnt very notable. For entree's the stand outs were the ribs, and the brisket. Mind blowingly good! The mac and cheese is great but almost too cheesy. Desserts are okay, you aren't mising anything too special if you have no room left or if you are

  • Jennifer R.

    This place is stupid good. I don't live in Miami but I'm willing to drive there just for the Mac & Cheese... and that is just the beginning. I've only been for the brunch menu but every single item I have had was heaven on a little white plate. My first trip with with a group and we ordered at least 6 things and double that in drinks and nothing was less than an A in my book. When I order a Bloody Mary and you bring me a glass with a piece of bacon and an okra as a garnishment, you've got me. I'm pretty sure if it was legal my boyfriend would marry the waffles with chicken fried pork belly. The prices are high but you're in Coral Gables and that is to be half expected. No trip to Miami should go without a trip to Swine.

  • John K.

    I heard amazing things about Swine so i did my best to keep my expectations in check; been let down too many times before. However, this place delivered by providing a dining experience that we truly enjoyed and one that Miami has lacked. From the decor, to the knowledgeable waiters/bartenders and of course, the food...WOW. Expectations were for a long wait. Solution: went upstairs to the bar and was blown away by their Rum slection (only looked at the food menu online). Barbancourt 15 year, Mount Gay XO, El Dorado 15 year. My wife and I went with another couple so we ordered the following: 1. Started with the burnt ends- very good. 2. I ordered the smoked Brisket- best I've ever had...didn't want to share but had to. 3. Memphis style ribs- fall off the bone delicious 4. Chicken Fried Bacon with Waffles- presentation and taste were solid 5. Duck Sassafras- presentation seemed a bit out of place but good. 6. Sides: Jo Jo's and Mac & Cheese- great compliments 7. Dessert: Molton Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Looking forward to the next go around for the Bone Marrow.

    Tried this place tonight and it was great. The drinks were great and the food was delicious. We tried the ribs, the burger and the Mac n cheese for the main meal and all were great. The cornbread starter was also very yummy! The ambiance is great. This place is super cute. I would totally come back.

  • Christine P.

    I'm a HUGE Yardbird fan - so Swine was a no-brainer. Tried going on a Friday night but they didn't have any reservations left and the wait time was 2+ hours. Finally was able to return for a leisurely weekday lunch on my day off... and I can't believe I've waited this long. Ordered the mac & cheese, brisket sliders (omg) and the Chicken & Dumplings. Shared with my best friend... plus drinks. I ordered a drink with Peach in the title, even though I was warned that it was very "booze-y"... and yup, definitely a guy's drink... but I braved it! Our waiter Jason was great - so friendly and fun - and went out of his way to make sure our first experience there was amazing. Even if you stuff your face... make room for the Sticky Icky Bun with Sweet Potato Pie ice cream. The ice cream sells it... but the whole dish is amazing. Will definitely be back.

  • Jessica F.

    This was my second time at Swine, I liked it more than my first, however the first time wasn't bad. We were a party of 7 for brunch and adopted an "everyone order something different" policy so there were no repeats, all the dishes were delicious. Biscuits- insanely good, brisket was perhaps the best thing we had along with the shrimp n' grits. For brunch in gables, this would be my first recommendation unless you have an afternoon pool party where you have to be hanging around in a bathing suit post a giant hearty meal, which is what happened to me, otherwise go crazy with the menu and then head home for a nice food-induced coma.

  • Adam C.

    I'm a big fan of Swine; the restaurant and the essential food group. They have a great selection of spirits, including my favorite whiskey, High West Rendezvous Rye. Although all the food was delicious (country fried bacon and waffles, some sort of salad to feel healthy, etc.), the highlight of the meal was definitely the brisket tips with fried hominy. Holy cow, I could eat those brisket tips every meal, every day, and be satisfied with my impending morbid obesity and certain death. That is how good they are. Extremely charred without the burnt taste, very juicy, the fat....oh the fat! So perfectly crispy. The crispy hominy is also amazing. Imagine red-neck polenta, or deep fried corn bread batter. So friggin good. Valet was a bit pricey. The brisket tips are so good, it made me forget about the rest of the food. Minus one star for everything not being as good as the brisket tips. Arbitrary? Yes.

  • James S.

    I have to say, the atmosphere is good. The food is good. However, when compared to Yardbird, this is the weaker of the two. Yardbird is more fun, has better service, and a better menu. If in coral gables or points further west, it is worth going. However, if you live east, head straight to yardbird. Everything that is good about Swine is great about at yardbird.

  • Fabiana L.

    So bad!!! Ordered brisket, it was inedible. It was pure fat and cartilage. We returned it and the next one was better but no flavor. I'm a Texan so I might be picky but you should be able to chew brisket. Try another overpriced restaurant in coral gables cause unfortunately this one is a pure miss.

    I've indeed here on multiple occasions. The food is always impeccable. The Niger is sublime w just the right combination of savory and interesting. I especially love the thick bacon. The hush puppies are done just right and the dipping sauce is very tasty so much so that I asked for more for my fries. I have had experience here w crappy service but our waiter was knowledgeable and very pleasant. All in all a great dining experience. Parking does suck though unless you use he garage down the block.

    It was probably a mistake to hit up Swine the second weekend that it was open last month, but one of the four people in our group was DYING to check it out. When someone's craving pork done up foodie style, you don't get in their way. They were booked, but told us to stay by the bar and that they would have us seated in an hour. It wound up being an hour and 20 minutes. The place was packed. Both the upstairs and downstairs bars were all elbow jabs. At this point I'm thinking I better be anointed to sainthood by my friend for sticking it out this long. Probably the most ridiculous thing about Swine is that there are just two bathrooms -- and not multi-person bathrooms. How does this play fly on two bars and just two toilets? What works? Well, the rustic decor works, though just like the crowded bar this is the kind of place that could have gone for a larger space than the old narrow Les Halles spot. Some of the food works also. I don't think the value is there on some of the choices -- $32 for eight ribs is math for chumps, the chicken-friend steak fries are NOT enough for the $9 ransom -- but I wouldn't mind coming back for some of the sides including the tasty jalapeño cornbread and the dolled up mac & cheese. I'm going with a two star rating, though it may lean to a three. The food quality is worth about four stars but the prices, the lack of bathrooms, and being tricked into spending time at a bar all whittle that down. Even my pork-craving pal was unimpressed, and that's saying something when some of the baked beans, bone marrow, and brisket went uneaten and no one cared about bagging it for later.

    Ive missed southrn flavors since I moved away from Ga. Im so glad I found Swine! I think Im in love! I tried the griled peach and crispy pig ear salad(delish, if your into other parts of the animal), mac n cheese(mmm), country fried bacon and waffles(the combo was sooo wrong, but sooo right!), and the cornbread(yum, yum, yum) If I could Id take a 1/4 of a star away bc I asked for sweet tea and I got unsweetened instead. ; / Id come back more often if I could but non of my friends eat oinkers

    Love this place. Came on a Saturday night. Having been here several times, decided to order the brisket steak while my girlfriend had the burnt ends. We always get the kale salad. Impressed with the quality and portions. and if you are into whiskey and bourbons they have a nice selection.

  • Alexandra S.

    I was pretty excited to try this place out after so many incredible reviews, so came here for dinner on a Sunday night on my own figuring it wouldn't be too hard to find a seat at the bar. Indeed, at 7pm, I had no wait and sat at the upstairs bar. Definitely a nice atmosphere there. I ordered the flank steak, and crispy Brussel sprouts, with the least expensive glass of wine. Albeit the food was quite good, I don't think it warranted the $51 bill. This may be a great place to go as with a few friends so you can share and try their interesting things on the menu but as one person, I didn't quite get that chance. I skipped desert there and just walked around the corner to get a small frozen yogurt for $2.71.

  • Rishi M.

    I am in love. They do not accept reservations. The ribs were perfect. It is dry rub so sauce lovers may not be happy with that. I would have to say the bacon and waffles were just as delicious as the ribs. Get both if you can. The service was topnotch, every single employee was friendly and as accommodating as possible.

    Swine Southern Bar & Table : Guest Post By Stephanie Wajsman Now let's get this straight--BBQ and Miami are not a great fit together. I hail from the great Atlanta, Georgia and went to school in gamecock country (South Carolina for all the college sports illiterate folk) so I'm fairly up to speed on the difference between great BBQ and imitation BBQ. Moving down to Miami was a BBQ culture shock. When I first moved to Brickell and started walking around to get to know the area, I saw Brother Jimmy's. I immediately was intrigued. How did this BBQ place get to Miami? Is it any good? Obviously, I tried it out that night. You know those movies that have the servers dressed up to please the tourists and their food is nothing like what they advertise? That was Brother Jimmy's and an "Oh Brother" it was. I felt like Jennifer Anniston and her "flair" were going to come up behind me and bring the check. I was heartbroken. I figured if I ever wanted to have the BBQ I have grown accustomed to, it would have to be when I crossed the Georgia-Florida line. Luckily I was wrong. 14-Hour House Smoked Briske The redneck-flannel-down-and-dirty-BBQ made its way down to Miami in the form of a posh and popular restaurant aptly named Swine. Despite our 10:30 reservation (all that was available on a Saturday night), the place was crowded and loud enough so that you knew people were there but quiet enough so you could carry a conversation. But really, enough about the place--let's get to the food. My favorite kind of BBQ has always been brisket, so we went with the Black Angus Burnt Ends as our appetizer. It. Was. Amazing. Perfectly tender and juicy with an authentic BBQ sauce. Add in the fried cornbread and dare I say they were the best burnt ends I've ever had. Our main meal was the ribs. Now you may want to ask me, "Stephanie, if your favorite is brisket, why go with ribs as the main and brisket as the appetizer?" Well, let me answer that for you: the place is called Swine. How was I going to go with something other than pork the first time eating there? And people, I got it right. Next time, sure I'll get the 14-hour smoked brisket; but this time the ribs were absolutely necessary. Again, cooked perfectly and full of flavor (And not that gross smoky flavor that tends to infiltrate the meat but a real made-in-my-backyard-next-to-the-moonshine flavor). It's something you can't describe but you feel. Trust me--it sounds crazy but go get you some ribs and brisket (and wash it down with some whiskey) and get for "y'all" to become a part of your vocabulary. -Stephanie Wajsman For more reviews by a Miami Beach local check out DannyHertzbergBlog.com

    I had been waiting for this place to open and when it finally did I couldn't wait to get in the door! I ate there for the first time last week and I have to say it was an amazing experience. The staff was friendly, the place looked awesome and the food was delicious. I'm not a big pork eater, but I will definitely eat pork here. I ordered the Pork and Beans and it was delicious! The pork was soft and full of flavor while the beans had that smoky taste! The plates are meant to be shared, but between me and my date we could not finish it! Highly recommend it! I order Mac n Cheese as my side and it was to die for. Finally for dessert I had Cookies and Milk! Yes, delicious "fresh out of the oven" cookies with "spiked" milk! I was in food heaven. Did I mention that the drinks are made with fresh ingredients! No fruity syrup from a bottle! Delicious!

    I love Yardbird, and that is why I had to try their new sister restaurant in Coral Gables, "Swine", where the main ingredient is none other than the other white meat, pork. We decided to check it out during opening week, when getting a reservation for a party of 4 was close to impossible. We weren't deterred, and decided to try our luck without a reservation. The narrow, rustic restaurant was packed with fellow pork-loving people. I was advised to wait at the bar for four seats, and were finally successful after an hour-long wait. As a group we ordered the - TCB (thick cut bacon): The TCB seems to be Swine's version of Yardbird's chicken biscuits. A thick cut of bacon (pork belly) is served on a side of corn bread. We were excited when we read the description, but the execution was lacking. This just made me crave Yardbird's chicken biscuit. - Mac-n-cheese: good, not great. It was a great complement to the pork and beans, but alone was disappointing. - Corn bread: Good, but not great. Nowhere near the level of perfection that Yardbird has reached with their biscuits. - Pork and beans: I left the best for last. This dish was absolutely amazing. It was heaven. . . it was great. . . it was SWINE... Imagine a layer of BBQ beans underneath an iceberg shaped piece of pork that was as soft as butter. This was what I expected from the 50 eggs family. This dish was by far the table favorite. After the pork and beans our group was in good spirits and still hungry. The waitress suggested the scallops and we went along with the suggestion. The dish is not very big, enough for two, but satisfied us four. I especially liked the Cajun style sauce that accompanied the scallops. It received my boyfriend's seal of approval, as he grabbed the last piece of corn bread and wiped the plate clean. Our party had room for one more dish and we went with the ribs, which were suggested by the bartender. The ribs were good, not great. They gave the sense of being ribs from a posh southern place. When I think of ribs, I think of a juicy, tasty mess. I did not even need a napkin to clean up after myself. To end the meal. we went with the sticky bun, which is AMZING. Like my boyfriend says, not good for your health, but great for the soul. It was a warm cinnabun with ice cream and candied bacon bits. Swine took it there. It even included pork in their dessert, and did it beautifully. The big winners were definitely the pork and beans and the sticky bun.

    Let's start with the ambience and decor. This is perhaps the best thing about this place. Looks like a picture from a magazine. Rustic, brick, and wood everywhere. Lights are dim and it feels comfy. Designers did a fantastic job. The place is small, though, and if you sit upstairs, you will find yourself feeling cramped. There is only one bathroom for guys, and one for girls, each with one toilet, which caused lines (4-5 deep at one point) for each. The bar by the entrance was our first stop. The bartender was hard at work, and took our order within a reasonable amount of time, but kept getting distracted as he was making our drinks. What should have taken a few minutes, took about 10. The drinks were tasty, but too fruity. The ladies in our group all ordered the Homestead, which is similar in taste to a strawberry daiquiri, though it is on the rocks and all natural. I ordered the Southern Pacific, which was unimpressive (think mai tai with a vegetable stalk instead of an umbrella). The bar was low/out on scotch, which didn't please the scotch drinkers of our group. I ended up switching to beer at dinner, which was a great move because the 2 lagers I had were terrific. We started with the scallop appetizer and burnt ends. We also ordered some cornbread for the table. The scallops came first. They were slightly undercooked, but we ate them anyway because we were hungry. The presentation was eh and I didn't care much for the sauce, which was bbq'ish. The bacon that was buried in the sauce was good. The burnt ends, on the other hand, were fantastic. Purposefully fatty and very flavorful. Cornbread in the burnt ends dish impressed. The basket of cornbread we ordered, though, was too dry. The wait between appetizers and main courses was unusually long. And getting a drink refill was not easy (ordering was easy, but getting the drink is another thing). When the main course came, it was incomplete, meaning only some people in our party (of 6) were served. It took what seemed like 10 min. or so for the last person in our group to get served, which resulted in some people finishing their meal as others were getting started. Unacceptable. I had the Memphis style spare ribs. The presentation was cool (stacked like lincoln logs), but they were cold. After being reheated, I found them to be unimpressive. I did like the rub, but I wouldn't order them again. I also sampled the chicken, which was equally unimpressive. Dessert was a cinnamon type roll (for MIami natives, think Knaus berry Farm), but smothered in some sweet sauce and complemented by some sweet potato ice cream. It was delicious and the highlight of the night for me. I understand that this place is new and still getting the kinks out, but so many kinks for an experienced management staff is unacceptable. I don't want to give this place another chance, but probably will simply because the menu has so many items that look great and would gamble that they can bounce back. Probably will go on a weeknight, though, when less crowded.

    I had a great time visiting this restaurant over the holidays with a group of friends. The decor is amazing! We arrived early for brunch at around 10AM and were among the first to be seated. The staff was very friendly and brought us our drinks in a flash. I ordered the BLT Benedict dish. The waitress was kind enough to inform me that it's not your typical Eggs Benedict plate, but it was delicious nonetheless. I left completely stuffed and satisfied and will definitely be going back to visit sometime soon.

    To put it simply, you just feel effortlessly cool walking in here. The unassuming entrance belies the warm, earthy industrial space inside. I recommend posting yourself upstairs in the loft bar, which overhangs the trendy urbanites mingling below. The menu of hand-crafted cocktails (and extensive list of artisan whiskies and bourbons) is reminiscent of a modern-day speakeasy and sure to please even the most discerning visitor. The food plays confidently on old-world favorites and will remind you why you're happy to be an omnivore. The space is effortlessly intimate and boasts staff who knows their pig ear from porkbelly and when to offer you another drink or just let the conversation simmer. Whether you're looking for dinner, drinks or a shared plate - you'll find it here. My prediction? It'll be THE new place in the Gables in three weeks or less.

    This place is Gorgeous! We had the bacon grilled cheese sandwich it was hot, tasty and just perfect. The staff was lovely, bartender as nice as can be. Crowd was a bit of a mixed bag sort of your typical gables crowd blended in with some young trendy hipsters. There was a lowered section/seating at the end of the bar with an unfriendly chap. I got the vibe that he was management as he did not have food or a drink in front of him just his cell phone. This chap saw fit to have his cell phone ringer on the highest of decibels. He just sat and conducted his affairs/business while everyone at the bar ate. It's a shame this guy is clueless as to how he should be conducting himself at work. I plan on going back to Swine very soon. I am hoping Cellphone Chap has a proper office by my next visit.

  • Paul W.

    All I can say is don't order the Swine Burger....Very uneven experience(and quite overdone as well)...Alex our waiter was excellent and knowledgeable but the menu's description of the above was not even close to what we got...Also regarding upstairs seating...either have tables overlooking the 1st floor OR tables against the far wall but not BOTH! Very cramped and hurried feeling...Consequently,we could not wait to leave. I did not get the ribs, so I cannot speak about the quality of that choice but overall this establishment feels to me like another tourist ripoff(high prices/sub par food) in order to meet the high commercial rent in CG. Stay away from this place as it is not the real deal for BB..Swinehundt's!!!

    I can't believe how unbelievably bad the service is. This is not a good place to bring children either. The hostess and waitstaff are unattentive and the meals are overrated. This is your typical Miami place which is hot at the moment, good to be seen, but really not at all worth anyone's while. The only swine you'll see here are the people working there.

    Swine, with a name like that you have to figure it is good. First, the good parts. Service was attentive and delightful. The real brewed sweet tea hit the spot. They got us a table right away at lunch even though the place was full. I ordered the burger and my companion had the chilli. The burger is a fabulous blend of three meats, seasoned and cooked to perfection. The chilli was thick, rich, and more like a plate of meat with sauce than a chilli but the flavors were fabulous. A meal unto itself. Decor was also a hit. Now the bad. I had to nock a star off what would otherwise be a stellar experience because of the fries. They were crisp and the spicy ketchup was a hit but the fries were salted to the point of being inedible. I had to send them back and get an order without the seasoning they add so liberally. I asked our server about the saltiness and he indicated that was normal. If so, it's a bad normal. If it wasn't for that, this would have been 5 stars. The other thing that could turn some people off was the price. To me, I will gladly pay for really good food but others might find the prices a bit high for burgers and BBQ. I think you get what you pay for and the elevated flavors makes it worth the price.

    This restaurant seems to have alternate personalities; they do some things exceptionally well, and some thing exceptionally poorly. I can really only speak about drinks, sides, and food from the smoker, so you may have a different experience if you order entrees off of the regular menu rather than from the smoker. As for the good parts: the mixed drinks were fantastic. The sides were excellent. We had the beets and the ragout, both of which were well-balanced, flavorful, and plated beautifully. The bad: Their BBQ is supposedly smoked low and slow for 14 hours. We got ribs and brisket. Both meats were incredibly dry and lacking flavor. This was disappointing, especially considering the premium you pay for these dishes. If I go back, I would order a different entree and avoid the smoked meats menu entirely. In sum, they seem better at traditional restaurant fare than BBQ. I would recommend this place if you like a cool ambiance and good mixed drinks. However if you're a fan of good BBQ, I would avoid this place for sure.

    Had a Doctor's appointment in Coral Gables and after a great report decided to stop for lunch and celebrate with my friend Kim.We chose SWINE and aside from the Doctor's good news was the best choice of the day!-Started off with the Crispy Pork Caesar ,which truly lived up to it's name-Crispy and fresh. -In a league with the Caesar salad once prepared for me by legendary Chef Emeril Lagasse- Our Main course was the Slow Smoked Brisket ,which melts in your mouth and can be sliced with a fork... The accompanying side of french fries and Mac and Cheese were to die for! For dessert we had the day s Chef Special.. homemade LUCY CHARMS ice cream and Sweet Potato Pie ice cream! Stopping at SWINE truly made our day a LUCKY CHARM!-We will definitely be back soon.. Matt K

    We went here in June 2013. It happened to be restaurant week. We had a tasting menu which was underwhelming. The desert was the stand out. App was deep friend corn bread which was odd and a couple pieces were raw in the middle. We also had the ribs which were good- but not nearly price point good. For all the other restaurant weeks we have been to you usually get better sized portions. It is supposed to be a deal. Old fashioneds were on special which were good but really weak. I was disappointed after how great Khong river house was- which is a partner restaurant. To top it off with how much money we were spending there were tons on children to the left and the right. I know it is an affluent neighborhood, but anytime I am planning on dropping 30$ an entree I don't want to hear fussing and screaming. If you can afford the food here you can afford a sitter. Maybe the regular menu is better, but I will not be going back on the off chance we are in Miami.

    If there were more than 5 stars, Swine would get it!! All of the Swine hype is true, this place is where you go when you feel your world is falling apart and I promise you stepping into this southern oasis will help put it back together. (okay, maybe not, but it's worth a shot). Yes, there will be a wait, so go in knowing that. Yes, you do need a reservation (and even then you will still wait), so call now if you plan on going a few weeks down the road (no, I am not kidding). This place is the new hotspot in the Gables and they have a good thing going. To start with we hit the bar and our party of four all tried different cocktail creations. They are a little on the steep side ($14 and up), but pretty tasty and different, nothing like you would get at any other bar/restaurant. When we got to our table we all were eager to order since their awesome looking dishes had been passing us by while we were hanging at the bar. We started with a lot and it all came out at once, so I would only order maybe 2 items at a time, and then order more later (unless you like for everything to come out at once). We all were sharing, which seems like the best thing to do when you go here since you want to try everything on the menu! So here goes the list and yes all of it was beyond impressive: Chicken Fried Bacon and Waffles (my favorite dish), 14 hour house smoked brisket (so tender), Mac n Cheese (to die for!!!), Hush puppies served with hot sauce (bringin' me back to my roots), black angus burnt ends x 2 (everyone's fav at the table) and then comes the desserts....oh lawrd...at this point I was already needing the elastic waist pants...of course we had to order the Sticky Icky Bun, it does not disappoint, two specialty milkshakes/floats (one was a root beer one infused with different beers, the other was a caramelized sea salt that I thought was outstanding). Major props to Pastry Chef Max! Our server was excellent, see if you can request him (Jason). Cannot wait to go back!!!!

    Wow! What a feast! From smoke-filled and tender brisket to the best Brussel sprouts I've ever eaten, this was bar-b-que that rivals that I've had at the highest rated places in Texas, Kansas City, Memphis or the Carolinas! It was wonderful, as was the service by Erik, who recommended an outstanding Zinfandel to compliment the meal. Then, to finish, the Sticky Bun dessert was out of this world good! It is expensive, but so worth it. We can't wait to return!

    So I sat on this review for a few days, making sure I simmered down. Good: table staff where on point, meaning they where knowledgable, accommodating, and just a great time once we had a few drinks. Bar menu was great, and food was good to. I had been to yard bird before and this felt like the summer home in that universe. Bad: the hostesses. Swine does not take reservations, which I see as a positive, as it forces those who really want to eat there to wait, making everyone a plebeian. My group gets there we put our name down and go to the bar and grab some drinks. A group of 8 show up after and the guy is bragging about how he has the hook up and this and that. He walks in, comes out and says he has a table of 8 ready. They ask if he paid them blah blah blah, you get the idea. That really ticked me off but don't let that sour you from going. Once you get passed the front door, your in for a treat!

    We were in Miami for 2 days and had to visit Swine since moving back to Austin. Our server described the menu so beautifully that we could not make up our mind. We put ourselves in her hands and she nailed it! We started with the Good Rittant Sour and the Bacon Old Fashion. The cocktails are very unique and at $16 they'd better be. The BBQ Bone marrow with country bread and Yam puree is heavenly. Fat + Sweet + toasty bread = pure-fection. We really appreciate the twist on Texas brisket with the cheddar cubes and sliced bread. She suggested the house made maple butter for our Cheese grits and thank goodness she did. The salty, sweet and buttery goodness is a memory I will not soon forget. We were excited to see Chicken and Dumplings on the menu. The chicken and the sauce were spot on but the dumplings are just too wet and doughy. The Brussel sprouts were a bit too greasy. We only had room for one dessert and insisted on the Sticky bun since we had heard so much about it. We agreed to another Old fashioned to pair with the Sticky Bun. Our server, Lisa helped make this delicious meal, a memorable one. We will be back when we're inext in Miami. Hopefully Lisa will be there to guide us agaiin.

    First off...50 eggs...well done AGAIN- The place is beautiful. It was packed when we got there, an obvious sign of true quality. The wait was an hour and a half and I will say it was totally worth it. The service was excellent. Our waiter gave us his recommendations and we ordered accordingly. We definitely had way too much food, but we tried just the right amount and it was very reasonable. What to get: Black angus burnt ends (excellent), Hush puppies, Shrimp & grits (AMAZING), the 14 hour smoked brisket (possibly the best I've ever had, competes with my mothers), the spare ribs (AWESOME), and jo-jo's fries. We had Aldus the bartender make us random drinks a whiskey drink, dan amazing mojito, their old fashion was amazing and a great selection of beer. We loved everything we ordered. I'd definitely come back.

    Came here for dinner on a Sunday. The Mexican State of Mind cocktail was delicious, but for $14 I was left wanting more. Bone Marrow was good. We ordered the spare ribs and brisket dish. Both were pretty amazing. Probably the best ribs I've had. Worth the money! Trust. Sticky icky bun was awesome. Overall a little pricey, but quality food and service!

    Went there last week during lunch time...around 2pm. Restaurant was full. Warm welcome by the hostess and the server. The server did a good job on explaining the menu and the drink menu. I love the leather menu book for the drinks!!! Atmosphere was awesome. Totally felt like we were in the South somewhere. RunPigRun in the wall;) The BEST part was of course the FOOD! The deviled eggs were delicious!!! With the bacon crunch. I got "lettuce wrap". The combination of onion, lettuce, onion and the crunchy pig ears with the awesome sauce just did magic in mouth!!! Yum! I also got a side of grits. It still tasted good even the day after!! (I had to take it home cuz there was no more room in my belly) My boyfriend got The Swine Burger. The burger was juicy and flavorful...loved the homemade pickles and the presentation. The table next to us got the Smoked and Pulled Sandwich. It looked good! I felt like I want to pull the Pulled Sandwich from their hands!!!;) I am a foodie and I rarely give 5 stars....but the food in this place is awesome. The ambiance transformed us elsewhere and the service was punctual. Can't wait to go back for dinner!!!

    Great atmosphere and superb staff. When we walked in looking for a table of two the hostess said there would be a wait because they were short staffed. A minute later the manager came by and took us to a table. The waitress and bus boys were excellent and personable. Our food came so fast there was no sign the were operating with reduced staff. The pork shoulder was delicious...more than I should have eaten, but I couldn't stop. I will definately go back again, but prices will keep me from comming more often.

    THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! Food service ambiance all perfect. Love love love the food... the drinks the dessert it was all great! Went this past Wednesday for my anniversary. I had originally requested a nice table for the night but they couldn't honor my request so they offered us champagne and ginger ale for my 2 year old son in a champagne glass. That definitely made them win some brownie points. I love Swine, one of my new... maybe my new favorite place.

  • Nicole P.

    A few days after posting my review to Swine I was contacted by the owner. He was apologetic and kindly asked to let the manager know the next time I was there so that the meal was on them. The past few months, I have only been going in for drinks. This time I decided I should use that "freebie" and give the kitchen another shot. I ordered the ribs, mac n cheese and the brussel sprouts. The ribs were extremely dry and tough. I sent them back and I got another batch exactly the same way. Yuck!The brussel sprouts had so much "sauce" on them, I actually spit it in to a bar napkin. The mac n cheese was cold. I really don't understand why the kitchen at Swine can not keep up with Yardbird. Luckily, I still enjoy the bar.

    This place was amazing! Nothing but good ol' southern hospitality and the food was really good! We had the charcuterie board, the bone marrow, the peach salad, the mac and cheese, the brisket and the chicken liver mousse and a few more delightful dishes, compliments of the Chef... I must say, everything was SPECTACULAR! The drinks and dessert were really great too! Got a tour of the kitchen and everyone was so friendly and seemed so happy that we were there.... You guys ROCK! I will definitely return and make sure to tell all my friends! - Thank you to Pete Morales and the rest of the Swine crew for a memorable experience!

    I went to swine for dinner and had an exceptional time. The food was amazing!!! There was a wait so my friend and I went to the bar for a drink. Our bartender Alex was very friendly and funny, I couldn't decide on a drink so I told him I'd take anything with whiskey, I have no idea what he made but it was delicious! My friend ordered a gin drink, I normally hate gin so I was surprised when I tried hers and loved it!! We where at the bar for another 30 minutes before our table was ready. Our server Keith also took great care of us, he recommended the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and we ended up getting a second order! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves bacon! Make sure to stop by the bar and leave your drink up to the bartender they are masters of their craft!

  • Nicole F.

    Great foof, great atmosphere, great service. My husband had the ribs, they were amazing. I had the buger, and it was too dry (over cooked), but we were impressed with the service. We ended up chatting with the manager serendipitously after dinner, while we were waiting for our cab (note to self: a cab ride here from South Beach will cost a whopping $35 each way) and he recommended their sister restaurant, Yardbird, which is in South Beach. Swine, which is a pork-focused menu (whereas Yardbird is a chicken-focused menu) was worth the trip. Just wish the manager could have told me the name of the artist/ photographer that had all these amazing photos on the wall, mostly of African Americans in the 50's and 60's. Love!

    My recent obsession with BBQ had this place on my list even before it opened. Especially since I am such a huge fan of Yardbird. My first time exceeded all my expectations (and I really expected a lot)!! The smell of wood burning hits you the minute you open the door. The decor is beautiful and sets the mood instantly. We were seated immediately on the second floor. Right when we sat down we were greeted by our waiter, "Little" Cameron. He helped us with our drink order and I was finally able to try my first Old Fashioned. It was sooo good!! All the drinks he suggested were delicious. He even concocted a drink for my friend based on her tastes and she loved it! Now onto the food... We ordered Fried Green Tomatoes to start which we're topped with pork belly and a little bit of tomato sauce. They were the perfect blend of crunchy and melt in your mouth pork belly. Since the pork belly was so good we decided to stick with that theme for our entree. We ordered the Double battered double fried pork belly and cheddar waffles that came with a drizzle of hot sauce and a side of maple syrup. YES this is every bit as good as it sounds. I thought it was going to be a little overwhelming but it wasn't, all the pieces fit together perfectly. We also had the Pork Shoulder and Beans which was very tender and the beans were a thick consistency with just enough sweetness. The best surprise for me were the pieces of boiled peanuts in the beans for a nice crunch. We also got a side of Mac and cheese (same as Yardbird. Always creamy and delicious) Even though we were completely stuffed, we couldn't leave without trying the Sticky Icky Bun. It was a giant cinnamon roll with a scoop of sweet potato pie ice cream. HEAVEN! As you could tell we LOVED every bite we had here. I highly recommend this place to any BBQ (or food in general) lover. You won't be disappointed. And if you have the opportunity, ask to be seated in Cameron's section! He was so helpful describing exactly what each dish was made with and tasted like. He really made our first time so enjoyable! I will be back here very soon!!

    Loved the ambiance and upon arrival greeted by smoky aromas. Service was a bit cold and slow but the food was good. I thought it was a bit too salty but I still enjoyed my meal. Had to ask for a beverage menu but am glad we did they have a lot of unique options.

    My new favorite restaurant in the Gables! Lisa was our waitress and she was so attentive and funny, loved her! She gave us some suggestions and we ordered accordingly. Fried Green Tomatoes = HEAVEN, I seriously think that was my favorite dish. My friend and I split an order of ribs, mac and cheese and cheesy grits. Best. Ribs. Ever. They are extremely tender and meaty. Our sides were excellent as well, especially the mac and cheese. I wanted to try the shrimp and grits but my friend does not like seafood (boooo you, Laura! lol) Oh well, now I have a reason to go back sooner because yes, I will be coming back and often (as long as I'm working out every day!) Despite the fact that we could not breathe after our meal we decided to order possibly the largest dessert on their menu, and managed to somehow finish it all in under 10 minutes. The second I took a bite out of that sticky bun, the world froze for a moment. If it is your first time dining here, don't even bother asking for a dessert menu just order the damn sticky bun and you will thank me and all the other fellow yelpers who gave it a marvelous review!

    Stopped in for a few drinks and appetizers after hearing about Swine from its sister restaurant, Yardbird. The place looked great and wasn't too packed. My gf and I decided to sit at the bar and were greatly immediately by the bartender. He handed us a cocktail and food menu and made a few suggestions. We decided to ask for a signature drink and he made my gf an amazing carrot daiquiri with muddled pickled carrots and topped with champagne. Really creative! He then made me an Old Fashioned with rye whiskey and st germeine. Also delicious. For the food we went with the bone marrow, mac n cheese and brussel sprouts. Everything was very tasty but kind of pricey but we will definitely be back to try out some entrees and more amazing drinks by Alex. 4 stars on food and price. 5 stars on drinks.

    Great cocktails in the Gables - finally. Rob at the back bar is a superstar with the right attitude with people! Food is tantalizing! BBQ deliciousness meets gastropub spot. Absolute greatness. Highly recommend you check this spot out early or grab a reservation. I am not working towards regular status...

    We stopped in for a late brunch/lunch on a Saturday with some friends who were repeat visitors. The restaurant was busy, but there were plenty of seats available. The space is well-designed and while it's not huge, it's not small and all the seating feels pretty intimate. We would definitely return for a romantic dinner or another meal with friends. Since our crowd had been there before, we let them lead the way. Everything was delicious! From the Odds & Ends, we tried the biscuits, cornread, and mac & cheese. I generally think mac & cheese is overrated, but this one was by far the best, most addicting one I've had. A must try. From the rest of the menu, we had the kale salad (good compliment to all the meat), morning quiche (my favorite), shrimp & grits (a must), the ribs (excellent), and chocolate waffles (beyond decadent). The only dish that I wouldn't order again was the country-fried bacon & waffle. I hated everything but the spicy walnuts scattered around the plate. If you can find a way, save room for dessert. The sticky icky bun and sweet potato ice cream are beyond, and the special that day - chocolate passion fruit cake with whipped sour cream - was stellar. I'm not a sweets person, but this place does it right by bringing in savory flavors. And lastly, how could I forget the cocktails! The bartender will venture off menu if you ask, but there are some great ones listed. We tried a few, but our favorite was the Mexican State of Mind.

    Swine Southern Table lives up to its name. You walk into the smell of that nice flavored wood that they have on display. The food absolutely delicious. Had the Po Boy rolls for a starter. So good, very tender and just right. To finish off I had the slow smoked brisket sandwich and the brisket just melts in your mouth, very juicy and not filing at all. It fell just right for a satisfying meal. The service was awesome and their staff are very attentive to your needs. Highly recommend it!! Just as good as Yardbird Southern Table and Bar who are the same owners

    The food and drinks here are amazing! What's better is the service particularly of one bartender, Juanita! The wait was very long so my fiancé and I decided to take a seat at the bar and have a drink while we waited. To make a long story short, we were treated so well that we decided to stay at the bar! Juanita never lead us astray with any suggestions, from drinks, to appetizers, main course, and even desert! Her skillful drink-making, knowledge of bourbon, and food suggestions (along with my fiancé and I actually consuming everything) made us love this place! The burnt ends were phenomenal, the bacon and waffles were astonishing, and the honey bun was just plain sinful yet so good! The best part, that amazing drink, old fashioned with the huge cube made ever so perfectly! Definitely coming back real soon!

    I'm not a big meat eater and usually not a fan of pork I have to say this place impressed me. The I miss feeling is great and a really nice is that reminds me of the West Village In New York City

    Absolutely delicious. Visiting Miami and had to stop in and try Swine on our last day. We ordered the burnt ends, chicken fried pork belly and waffles, Mac and cheese and cheesy grits. The Mac is excellent! Hard to get great Mac & cheese at a restaurant these days but Swine has it! Will be back

    Bacon. Bacon. BACON!!! How could you possibly go wrong with bacon? Well, I'll tell you: YOU CAN'T! I love that it's in the Gables, and I love that I walked in without having to be dressed up. Like, at all. No make up. No pretentiousness (which is great for the Gables). The food is homey, warm, comfort food that will probably make you super fat if you eat here enough. I have gone for lunch and for brunch, and yes, the food is amazing, but I really love their drinks at this place. Their Swine Old Fashioned with the bacon whiskey and maple whatever concoction infused into it is deeeeelicious. It's smooth, it's comforting, and it makes you feel warm and oh, so fuzzy after downing a couple. For brunch, the Bloody Mary is a great morning started. Had a long week? Here, have a Bloody Mary--oh, and stick a major piece of bacon in there because how could you possibly go wrong with bacon (You can't--I mentioned it already). I had some brisket with grits special that was pretty delicious, but what really made my morning was that Warm Sticky Icky Bun. Just sling me one of those and a Bloody Mary with Bacon and I'm a happy (albeit getting fatter by the moment) camper.

    Came for the first time with some friends and had appetizers and drinks. I must say everything was amazing in its own way. We had the burnt beef tips which were delicious and were braised in this sweet sauce that left you wanting more. The kale salad was so good I could've had the whole plate on my own.....it was citrusy, cheesy and crunchy. The macaroni and cheese was so creamy and perfectly cooked and the brussel sprouts were crunchy and very well seasoned. For dessert we had the cinnamon bun which came with a yam ice cream that was unlike anything I've ever had before....in a good way! I'll definitely be back for the main entrees!

  • Rob S.

    For how much you'll pay, there is better barbecue. I got the pulled pork sandwich, which was impossible to eat as a sandwich because the meat was about half fat and barely pulled. They should call it a 'non-pulled, half-fat pork sandwich.' The sides were pretty average. The sandwich came with seasoned fries and cole slaw. The one barbecue sauce option was mustard-based (meh). The staff was really nice and the place was nicely decorated, but the food was lacking. The experience wasn't terrible, but I doubt I'll be going back.

    Decided to come for a quick birthday lunch for a co worker on Wednesday afternoon. The restaurant itself is a very pretty, hyped up, fancier version of a bar b q joint. We were a party of 5 and were seated upstairs. As a table we ordered 2 rounds of drinks - A bacon bourbon concoction, very good. We ordered 2 orders of deviled eggs, and pickled shrimp rolls. I ordered the slow smoked brisket sandwich and it was very good. All my other co workers ordered the pulled pork or the brisket and they were all very pleased with their meals. Now...the reason I gave a 2 star and not a 5............... The table next to us was being occupied by 4 tired ass old woman who were having lunch as well. These woman were openly and loudly harassing a woman with a 1 year old child because the baby making goo goo noises. Apparently the sound of the child irritated the old hags so they found it necessary to clang on their glasses and yell obscenities at the child and his mother. I found it insulting that the management did not step in and escort these savages out of the restaurant because they were obviously being a nuisance. I do not think other patrons should have had to get involved, this should have been the managements responsibility. I would had left and had lunch else where if we were not already finished with our meal. As a mother it was disgusting to have to witness that type of behavior without any consequence by the restaurants employees or management.

    I went back here the other night and had the opportunity to try a few other dishes, all of which were fantastic. My experience the second time was just as good if not better than my first trip there. The dishes I was able to try were the chicken and waffles and the brisket. The chicken and waffles is some of the best chicken and waffles I have ever had. I had the sweetest taste in my mouth when I ate the chicken on the waffle covered in maple syrup. It was so sweet and delicious. I loved the way the chicken was prepared too, I had never seen chicken prepared this way before. The chicken was boneless and very juicy. The brisket was also delicious. I don't think I have ever encountered a brisket that was so tender. I was able to cut it with just my fork. In addition it was cooked to perfection. When you combine it with the BBQ sauce that it comes with it is even tastier.

  • Josy P.

    Amazingly flavorful southern food. The ribs, brisket, burger, pulled pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, baked beans and of course their corn bread are all outstanding. Save room for dessert because their sticky bun is just too good to pass. I've never had a bad experience. A must go to!

  • Luvadish I.

    Run Pig Run.....Lives up to the reputation of it's sister restaurant, Yardbird. Obviously, the focus here is pig and the chef doesn't disappoint. We were a party of six so I was able to sample lots of dishes without ordering an entree. The standout dish for me was the Chicken Fried Bacon & Waffles. There is no way that I could have eaten this dish alone because the portions are definitely for sharing and it's rich. This dish sings! The house smoked brisket was perfection. Hubby's favorite dish was the 1855 black angus burnt ends appetizer. I've heard mixed reviews from friends, but our experience was wonderful from appetizers to dessert-Warm Sticky Icky Bun...amazingly good!

  • David S.

    Giving two stars is generous. This place is terribly overpriced for its genre. I had good memories of BBQ in Florida, but this place misses the mark in many ways. The pork had no BBQ sauce (don't flatter yourself, it's fine, but it's not that good). Strangely, however, the shrimp-and-grits dish was covered in mystery reddish-brown BBQ-like sauce, when it didn't need any sauce at all. Everything is a la carte, and the sides are about $10 each, which is too much for a BBQ side at a cheap-feeling place with no refinement and nothing at all to justify its prices. There are few normal BBQ sides to order (no beans, no greens, no potato salads), but rather inappropriate ones, like a cast-iron pan full of incorrectly cooked wanna-be roasted potatoes.There is no beer on tap, which is ridiculous for the "vibe" they are trying to create. Seriously, I would not recommend this place at all. I will never go back.

    Ambiance was great. It's a small location so a wait time was to be expected with the crowd that was there but I was able to sit at the bar with a couple of friends and try out some cocktails. The two I had were fantastic (penicillin and I forgot the other). I went on a meat tour with ribs, Brisket, and burnt ends. All of which were fantastic. The brisket I don't think I will ever forget it has to be one of the top three meats I have ever enjoyed. Since our eyes were bigger than our stomachs we ordered two deserts and they were huge. The sticky bun with sweet potato ice cream Will definitely be a reason I come back and save a little more room for dessert as hard as that may be.

    I think I am the only person on yelp that found this place completely overrated and overpriced....Service was great, food and drinks came out fast but something about the food for me was lacking. We started out with the cornbread and Mac and cheese, I enjoyed both but my bf hated the cornbread. The brisket and ribs were just okay but I would of rather gone across the street to Houston's where the ribs are amazing. Best part was the red velvet cake....it was delicious!!!! Worth a try but probably won't be back, much better choices with more bang for your buck in the area.

  • Erin F.

    Being a lover of all things southern bbq, beef, pork, slow-cooked, and juicy, I was BEYOND excited to experience Swine, particularly after reading rave reviews on yelp. I'm sorry to say, my experience was far from rave-worthy, in contrast to many reviewers before me. One star for service - our bartender/server was attentive, quick to replace an $18 (ouch) glass of maderized Barolo (gross) with one from a fresh bottle, and to provide several recommendations of his favorites from the menu. A second star for the kale salad, which was by far the BEST thing we ate. A heaping platter, fresh and green, dressed to perfection... I could've eaten three more plates of it - and I'm not even a huge kale fan, so that says something! Now for the sad part... The fried green tomatoes were... okayyyy... just, fine. The tomatoes themselves were cooked perfectly, tender with a crunch to the crust, but if you're advertising them to be served with pork belly, give me my juicy, caramelized piece of fatty meat, not a minuscule overcooked piece of ham atop each tomato. A HUGE pet peeve of mine. And the entree, the pork & beans - the SPECIALTY our server raved about, which arrived halfway through consumption of the salad (another pet peeve), was a huge disappointment. Now, what would you expect from a plate of pork and beans at a place called Swine? A juicy piece of pork shoulder, glistening and unctuous, over a pool of homemade, special recipe beans to make your mouth water? Probably. Sadly, what arrived at the table was far from that dream: a dry chunk of shoulder (how is that even possible?), tough to pull apart, bland, and boring. The sad part is that I kept eating it, hoping that my next bite would be that mouthwateringly juicy bite I was waiting for - but it never happened!! The beans were undercooked to say the least, in a sauce that was... well, nothing to write home about and definitely not worth eating til I was uncomfortable (as I had hoped they would be)... we left most of them on the plate. The only creative thing on the plate was the tomato-peanut relish, which was good, but not enough to save the rest of the dish. I know it's just "pork and beans" but when I think of all the ways this dish could have been made better, it makes me want to cry into my overpriced glass of Cabernet that I just spent $100 on a dinner I could have prepared better myself in my own kitchen for a fraction of the price. Ughh! With a name like SWINE, pork should be your specialty, no? No amount of atmosphere can make up for a crappy meal at those prices. What a disappointment - we won't be back.

    It has been 5 days since I had dinner at Swine and I still haven't stopped thinking about it. WOW!! That was absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!!!! I do not have words to describe how amazing the food was. Luckily, I was with a large party and able to try an array of menu items. Every item from the "small plates" to the "big plates" were out of this world. In summary; Fried Green Tomato BLT (yum), Burnt Ends (awesome), gotta have the Homemade Cornbread, don't forget the Mac & Cheese, the Grilled Little Gem WAS a gem...Ribs, Brisket, Shrimp & Grits, Chicken Fried Bacon & Waffles AALLL to die for! Sooo make your reservation and go. The only downfall are their signature cocktails. If you like expensive fruit juices go ahead and order but if you like to taste the $14 worth of alcohol in your drink, then order yourself a bourbon! Oh and save room for dessert.

  • Alejandra M.

    Not impressed...in fact it was a major let down. I went for brunch and I would have to say the bread basket was probably the best thing I had. We ordered the grilled cheese with bacon & the Chicken Fried Bacon and Waffles both of which were absolutely GROSS! Anything labeled bacon in this place is lightly fried LARD (totally not joking or exaggerating). I love Yardbird so I expected this place to be at par but it most definitely was not. :-/

  • Derek S.

    Another fine addition to the restaurant scene. I've only been once so haven't tried more than a few things on the menu and will have to update in the future. Quick review would say the food is better than the layout of the restaurant but I get it. Pack as many people in to a spot and rely on the food being served. The place is definitely loud but it would have bothered me more if it wasn't because of how close you are to other tables. I sat upstairs and was bumped into by patrons or servers more than a few times. So how does it get 4 stars? The food was excellent. I think this is the best non-Texas brisket I've ever had and better than many I've tried in the Lonestar State. The Mustard Greens were on point and unless you hate the zing of vinegar you will love these. The scallops were very good as well but the bed of short rib that they sat on were fantastic. We also throughly enjoyed the tips. I can't comment on dessert because we were too full to go further. Definitely a place to go back to and likely one of the better bbq/southern food places you'll find this far south.

    $57 for a 24 ounce Ribeye, it tasted like any other ribeye I had at half the price, also the atmosphere way too noisy, seating was very cramped, this place will go away real soon, as for me i am not planing on coming back

  • Joe F.

    Wow, I finally made it to Swine. This place has the most professional and nicest staff anywhere, from the lovely lady hostesses to one of the best bartenders I've met to the management. Next, this place is A bit over-priced. To my taste, the food is pretty good but not great. We ordered a glass of a house Sauvignon Blanc and a JD on the rocks at the bar while we waited for our table. The tab for those two drinks was $26!!!! A little abusive for two run of the mill drinks. We also ordered the clams and pig tails appetizer. This was okay; a nice portion of clams and a couple of pig tails that were lost in the batter in a very salty sauce. Not worth $17. At our table we ordered the brisket and ribs with two sides - green beans and corn bread. Both proteins, in my opinion, were over-cooked. The meat on the ribs easily came clean off the bone using two fingers. I think the meat-falls-off-the-bone style of cooking ribs has brainwashed the public. Those types of ribs feel and taste like mush. I didn't go to Swine for Joe's meal deal. I like to bite into the rib meat and take it off the bone. The ribs did have a a nice smoky flavor all the way through. The brisket should also snap when pulled apart. This one didn't. It too was too soft. With a fork and a little pressure, it easily fell apart on the plate. The green beans cooked with ham hocks were out of this world; the best thing I ate all night. The corn bread was good but tasted smoky. I only ate two of the seven ribs and my wife had about a third of the brisket. I'll probably be back to taste some of the other food. Maybe I'll give the ribs another try when it's earlier in the day.

  • Gary T.

    I was excited to go to eat here because I heard there was another high-end BBQ place on the scene. I was pretty impressed by the service, decor, atmosphere and had a good time people watching but the food was wasn't the best. In regards to the food, it was a little expensive for what you get. At the end of the day, it's BBQ and not "fine-dining" so $100-ish for 2 is a little pricey no matter how cool the place looks inside. It was cool to try it out, but probably won't be going back too soon.

    The food was fair and service good. Things were a bit pricey for a BBQ place. It just seemed a little trendy but this is Miami. I kinda want to see some smoke when I pull up to BBQ joint and not valet parking.

    Great vibe, great food, definitely worth the wait. I had a couple of dishes like the pork cheeks, bone marrow, bacon and waffles, pork loin, and the squash casserole. 5 stars on every dish!!!! Perfectly executed plates with amazing flavors. Portion sizes were big and very shareable. I'll be back!!!!

    I'm really a fan of this great place. I went for lunch and really enjoyed every bite. The service was 5 stars all the way. Our server Roly was super attentive and was full of great recommendations. The Mexican state of minx drink was refreshing and strong - a must try! The cornbread was fantastic.. The perfect touch of sweet with a little kick of spice and bacon.. Delicious!! I ordered the swine burger which was cooked to perfection. My husband ordered the special which was a shrimp burger.. He couldn't say enough about it. And the grand finale was really just amazing - the sticky bun w sweet potato ice cream. We will definitely be coming back soon.

  • Blair W.

    Food was good up to the point we found a bone in the pulled pork sandwich. It happens but the way it was handled dropped their rating from a 4 to a 2. We told the waiter and he said- sorry it happens from time to time and did not advise the manager. A little later the manager was making his table rounds and we advised the food was good except for the large bone that could have chocked us. He's comment was " was there any collateral damage?" And moved on. Really?!?!?! Good thing I'm not an attorney. Management is poorly trained handling customer services issues. A simple apology, not a discount, would have prevented this review. Get a clue management before you loose more regulars.

  • John G.

    This place is waayyyy overrated. Food was ok, but lacking in portion. I'm not someone who judges quality based on portion size, but expensive, very small, and cold food in that is supposed to be fresh from the smoker is not a good sign. The cocktail and wine options are also on the pricey side. I had wine and at $14 a pour I wished they had a better selection. Not impressed, not recommending it, not repeating it.

    (2)

  • R G.

    Very nice place. The decor is very cozy and southern like, of course. The food was better. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was very tasty. It comes with breaded onions inside the bun and that adds a very unique taste that will have your palate wanting more. I tried the boneless rib sandwich from a friend and that's what I will have next time, because I will go back again and again. Bit pricey, but worth it.

    We came in to try Swine for Miami Spice, on Sunday mid-day, but they were doing brunch so were not participating in Miami Spice for that meal (my bad, I read the website wrong). We stayed and had the award winning burger. It was definitely an award deserving burger. My husband got fries with his (really good) and I took the salad option. The salad was watercress, and was good, but was extremely stingy in size. Like a dab on the side of the plate. But the burger was so good, I didn't mind too much. The only real down side was there was a fly issue going on that day. Everyone at the long table we were sitting at were constantly batting away flies, that were landing on us, the food, the table top, etc. I don't see any other reviews mentioning this, so maybe it was a one time only thing. It did help us strike up conversations with the other customers at the long table! So that is the upside of the fly issue that day, ha ha. But seriously, they need to check into that.

    I have no words, just awesomeness. This is seriously a place to rave about; I can't find a single thing to complain about at all; just good things! Their fried green tomatoes with pork belly and tomato jam is MY FAVORITE!! Good God, If I had to choose a single meal for the rest of my life...yeah. Their ribs are also finger-lickin' delicious and so tender and tasty. The bacon jalapeno cornbread is also out of this world. Seriously, is there anything this place can't do right?! I HIGHLY recommend these drinks: the Mexican state of mind and their old fashioned. I'm obsessed with this place.

    Five stars these guys know what their doing from the entrance, service, waiters' knowledge, drinks, FOOD, DESSERT! Get the burnt ends, pork cheeks, pork shoulder and end it with cookies and milk. Oh yeah old fashioned much reccomended. If not dupont beer go for it.

    Excellent atmosphere. Great service and every single dish is delicious. The brisket is so fresh and tender and the squash and hominy is surprisingly tasty-- even better than the mac n' cheese-- if that's even possible?! Just go-- you wont be disappointed.

    two words: Lisa. Juanita. Dining at swine was a great, great experience. It's clear they didn't need our business, but the hostess was very conscious of our wait time. It was definitely a refreshing feeling- added on to the wonderful feeling from Juanita's signature drink. Thumbs seriously up! Our server, Lisa, was awesome. She went from a server to a therapist to a comedian...she was really spectacular. Overall, fantastic experience and not to mention the food was beyond delicious. The Brussel sprouts were incredible; the waffle plate was so tasty plus whatever amazing spicy sauce that's added; you don't even need to chew the brisket...hello, mac and cheese! oh, and of course, dessert. All highly encouraged and supported by our fabulous waitress. She never let us down!

  • Romi C.

    overrated, overpriced, over manicured meets the whole southern fried food craze in Miami a little too late. years too late but necessary. The bone marrow was miserably brief and overpriced. I get it, you're in Coral Gables and want to reap the financial gains of a young business executive crowd that has watched the food network and now knows what pork belly is...but i think it is only fair to offer a little more bones to scoop delicious little globs of glutton out of if you want to charge that much for an appetizer. Don't offend me with two dry little bones not cut lengthwise. The Memphis ribs were also pricey but were great. The service was pleasant as was the decor. Very nice lighting

    (2)

  • M C.

    OVERPRICED AND OVERRATED Let me begin by saying the service was excellent but the food was Ok, We were seated at 8pm and wanted to order brisket and were told it would not be ready till 9PM. So we had to order something else.The Ribs were dry rubbed and quite pricey (the ones at Houstons are better) the Shrimp and Grits were good and the Brussel Sprouts with Apples appetizer was very tasty. For dessert we had the Tres Leches with Strawberries, not a good combo, strawberries are to acidic for the tres leches.

    I was lucky enough to be brought here to eat prior to the official opening and was really blown away with the food. I apparently love all things 50 Eggs. I have a small obsession with Yardbird (usually go a couple times when I return to MIA) and have yet to have a full meal at Khong, but love their apps. So, that being said. I love swine & I don't eat swine :) GET THE CAULIFLOWER!! There. I said it. Trust me, you won't regret it. Fricken amazing. Also, for you veg heads out there they will make the mac n cheese for you without the meat & it is equally delish. My friend and I pretty much tried every single one of their specialty drinks and honestly it is hard to pick a favorite (I love whiskey so I may be biased here). They were all really good, albeit expensive. Hush puppies = awesome, the sauce is ridic. Just get those too ok? Yum! The cookies are amazing if you need some sweets to round out your meal.

    I have only gone once for brunch and was very impressed with the place. I have tried to go for dinner but it is always packed so I was happy to see that we could get a nice table with no wait for brunch at 11 AM. Our table ordered juice and bloody marys, both of which were good. For food I ordered the quiche which was rich and delicious and paired nicely with the creme fraiche (I think that's what it was). The best dish from our group was the swine hash, though- it was so creamy and cheesy and absolutely mouth-watering. For dessert we all split the famous sticky bun which was as sweet and buttery as everyone has suggested- definitely leave room for it. Overall my only complaint was that our server took forever and we had to wait a very long time to even get drinks when it wasn't even that full.

  • Carlitos P.

    It was just as great as everyone told me about... I will definitely return to keep tasting the different options that because I simply can't ask for three different plates I couldn't enjoy during my first visit to the place .... And since experience in a restaurant is just not about how good the food is, employees and management team treat me and friends in a very friendly and courteous way, taking our experience to an A plus level.... Guys from Swine remember this face, cause Im going to be there back sooonnnn....

    attempted to eat at swine twice a few weeks ago and failed miserably. a 2 hour wait one night and the other night no resrveations available (at leats not online). so we changed our game plam - we showed up at 630 and scored a table immediately on a random weeknight. we looked over the menu, talked over some ordering ideas with our super friendly waitress. and decided on serveral things: *kale salad - delicious!! super crisp refreshing but i found the price pretty steep at 13 esp when there is no meat in it. *scallops - realllly good, cooked perfectly, however they were only 2 very small pieces, so at 17 i probably would never order again. *corn bread - awesome! initially i wasnt digging the jalapeno flavor but once i added the honey butter it was a burst of delicious flavor. *mac and cheese - really cheesy and really good. we devoured the whole thing and enjoyed every single bite, especially the bites from the top that were a bit more crispy. *brisket - totally delicious. i was a bit hesitant about ordering brisket, but the waitress convinced us and im so glad she did! perfectly cooked and the cole slaw as a side was really refreshing. the bread that came with it was good, but kind of bland (maybe grilled with some butter or garlic would be better) *sticky buns - my husband and i were torn on dessert - he really wanted the apple pie, i wanted the sticky bun or chocolate/pb, we went with the stucky bun. it was good but i wasnt blown away - i would gladly get a different dessert next time! the prices are trypical for coral gables and a new trendy restaurant. expect to spend at least 50 per person (75 if you like to drink). our total bill after tip was 160 which i found kinda steep, but again in miami whats new and in style is gonna cost you! the decor is beautiful! i was kinda sad to see les halles close down as i loved that restaurant and the european cafe feeling you got when you dined there. i was more than plesantly surprised to see that swine did a beyond excellent job at renovating the space - its absolutely gorgeous, manly but chic and trendy at the same time. my husband kept saying if he ever gets a man cave this is exactly what he would want. men should come here for power lunches or to discuss business over a strong drink at the bar. and women - if youre single this might be the best place to meet a well dressed man, as it was full of them! my only small gripe is the bathroom - there is only one bathroom for the ladies - for a restaurant this size and this popular that seems like a big mistake. oh and if you could add a purse hook it would be greatly appreciated!! ;)

    Just one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Very personal with a unique concept (at least for a European). We ended up going twice during our Miami stay. The service was at the level where one of the managers went to an outside store to bring some candy for our 3-year old son. I have never had better slow cooked pork and it's something I'm actively searching for when choosing restaurants. I just wish they could open a similar place closer to where I live.

    I have been to Yardbird a few times, and I'm in love. When I heard they were opening another restaurant I was so excited to come in and try everything! Unfortunately, I went in late last night, but only for some drinks and jalapeno bacon cornbread, neither of which were a disappointment. The wine menu is quite impressive, if I may say so myself. Our server, Cameron, was very friendly and hospitable. The decor is beautiful and the bathrooms are very clean and intelligent (sensors and touchless dispensers). I will be coming back for dinner very soon . I am excited to eat some southern deliciousness!

    This place was great! Absolutely delicious comfort food. Shared and enjoyed Black Angus Burnt Ends, the Mac & Cheese, and the Crispy Brussel Sprouts in a bacon vinaigrette! It was all so good! It's a little pricey, but definitely a nice treat! My boyfriend and I left very satisfied. Nice atmosphere too! Highly recommend :)

    The experience was great. My girlfriend and I both enjoyed are meals and the service was comfortably attentive. She had the swine burger with jo jo fries and I had the pulled pork n' eggs. Both had great presentation and straight forward flavor profiles. We will be back again

  • Jennifer S.

    I went in with high expectations based on the reviews. I was thinking I would leave raving about the food and looking forward to coming back. I think that was the first mistake. Overall food was definitely "Meh." We had: Scallops - 2 to a serving. Overpowered by the sauce, fried onions and ham. Burnt ends - yes, they were burnt. Nothing special. Brisket - A little overcooked and dry. So not worth the $32 price tag Mac and Cheese - nothing to write home about Cauliflower- Dry, dry, dry. Pie of the day - it was supposed to come warm and it wasn't. Did not taste home made at all. Definitely a disappointment. I just wasn't "wowed" by anything. The service and the decor were definitely the best parts of the place. For the quality of the food and the $125 bill, I will not be going back for dinner. Don't get me wrong - I love to eat and I don't mind paying for a delicious meal. But for what you get at Swine, get your calories in somewhere else and really enjoy it.

    Awesome, all the way around !!!! Excellent food. If you want something special, and not on the menu, just order a side of their delicious pork belly with their maple Bourbon syrup !!!!!!! Awesome food, awesome service !!!!

    A nice twist of BBQ. Over priced, swanky place but just a little too rich for BBQ. Dishes are special so it's worth the visit. Clean and fancy, enjoy it!

    After reviewing this place and having gone back a second time as guests of the owner, I have to say that everything we had was good, cooked how it was supposed to be. The service was very attentive and we had no complaints, but then again I'm sure we were given extra attention that night which was a great thing. This restaurant has alot of potential, maybe once the fever dies down a bit we would go back but not on a Friday or Saturday night...maybe I'm getting old but standing around for 45 minutes to 1 hour to eat is not my idea of a great night out!

  • Sandra F.

    I don't know...I didn't really get it. Everything was fine. Burnt ends were very good, scallops with pork was ok, jalapeno corn bread ok, baked beans ok. Drinks were very good. But it cost a fortune. And after asking our waiter to ensure we didnt over order he had us tack on more food. I would give it another shot though. Swine prove me wrong!

    Every aspect of this restaurant was dead on. The decor is great. Every member of the staff I encountered seemed genuinely courteous from the hostess, to my waiter to every other staff member who crossed my path that day. I was here for lunch and had the pulled pork sandwich with crisply Brussel sprouts on the side. Both items were full of flavor and better than expected. I will definitely go back.

  • Lourdes P.

    I would have given this five stars but I wasn't that big a fan of the pork belly. However, the service, decor and these 2 delicious items saved it: - the corn bread: HOLY LORD OF ALL THAT IS DELICIOUS. Best corn bread I have ever had... and I am not a fan or corn bread. jalapenos, bacon and cheese in my corn bread... now I know what I've been missing! - the mac & cheese: I wanted it to never end but unfortunately it did... fast. Gooey, cheesy but not overpowering Their home made BBQ sauce is amazing as well

  • Elizabeth B.

    I have dined here twice now. Once when they first opened and the second Recently. My first experience did not match my high hopes :/. However I gave them a second chance since they changed their menu. It was like night and day. They have delicious cocktails made with fresh juices. Service however needs a bit of work, it took a while for us to be greeted by our server and then a mission for him to tend to us during our meal, I'm sure he noticed because he offered us free dessert at the end of our meal which was very nice. The food was quite yummy too even the vegetarian dishes offer tons of flavor.! It will probably be a while if I ever go back again.

    Memphis blues pumps throughout the room, loud but somehow not too loud. Service is friendly and attentive, even though the place is packed. The crowd tends to be young or young at heart, but well-heeled - which is good because this has to be the most expensive BBQ I have ever eaten. The food is good, much better than Khong (we have never done Yardbird), with - despite its meat-centric orientation - good veggie options. We like to follow the adage of eating more veggies than meat and that was easy to do, and tasty as well. The salads are meant to be shared (we each had our own), and we enjoyed the cauliflower and the peas & carrots, as well. The mac and cheese was good as well, and not the chewy-gooey mess I was expecting. Finally, we split an order of Memphis ribs - plenty of meat for the two of us, well trimmed and quite tasty. We did not need dessert, but pigged out on this course, opting for the apple pie (really good) and the highly-touted sticky bun, which was way too sweet for our tastes. But, the highlight of the night for us was the cocktails. The Old-Fashioneds are too good! Warm and comforting, and a good match with the cuisine. Why only A-OK? It is just too expensive! The place is well-staffed and the pricing is consistent with the level of service, but to us ... it is just BBQ. Good BBQ, but just BBQ nonetheless. We would definitely return with a group, because it can be a real fun time. But, based solely on food value, its not the spot for dining for two, which is what we were up to. The food is good, don't get me wrong, including the veggies. But just too expensive for what is on the plate. Maybe if we had not had so many cocktails? No. no, no - they were the best part!

    The cornbread and mac and cheese are DELICIOUS! Drinks are very good too! The pork however, is simply average in my opinion. Nothing special about it. It's still worth going to for the mac and cheese alone!

    Since moving away from Miami, any time I spend visiting the city is precious. Thankfully, I invested one night during my last trip home to eat at Swine. Verdict: Time and calories well spent! Everything I ordered was delicious and memorable (so much so it inspired this return to Yelp). The service was fantastic. Our server was helpful, personable and, actually, quite charming. It made the experience that much more enjoyable. So here's the culinary rundown in case you want my replicate my successful visit: Brisket, hush puppies, little gems salad, red velvet cake (heaven) and a couple glasses of their delicious Homestead Bound cocktail. Although I will say that judging by the reactions of my fellow diners (three friends and my particularly discriminating boyfriend) you can't go wrong with much on their menu. This Gables spot (not surprisingly the product of the same team behind Miami Beach's Yardbird--another must-try) definitely merits a repeat visit during my next trip home.

    If you are tired of seeing all those great BBQ shows on TLC or the Food network, and being greatly disappointed by the mediocre BBQ restaurants around South Florida, look no further, for Swine is right up there with the great pit masters of the north (north of Miami that is). Never have I been more pleasantly surprised, at the thought of finally finding the kind of high quality American BBQ that simply makes you think you are a judge at a pit master's tournament. I had the black angus burnt ends as an appetizer, which is the type of flavorful meat that simply melts in your mouth, along with dry rubbed & smoked Memphis style spare ribs that are cooked and presented to perfection. The warm sticky icky bun for dessert just took my whole experience to the next level. Swine just simply offers great BBQ food not easily found in Miami and their service is by far one of the best around town. My waiter was great, and I frankly don't remember his name. The best impression of service came from the one person it should start from, the manager! His name was Rolando and he made his first great impression from the time I asked for a table until the time I paid for the meal and walked away feeling like I have finally found my favorite BBQ restaurant! Rolando was extremely instrumental in making my experience grand. Not being very familiar with southern BBQ plate names, other than ribs and brisket, he was able to perfectly advise my party and me on some of the choices I had been craving for months. I highly recommend Swine for their food and service!!!!

    First thing you notice when you walk into swine is the smell of bbq. Great mesquite smell however you will smell like that for the rest of the day/night....it sticks to you. Went for lunch and the blt special with house made bacon, watercress and aioli sounded interesting so i went with it. Wasnt wowed but it was tasty. Bacon cut very thick, maybe too thick, so you get quite a few pieces of extra chewy fat which was a bit much. Good fries with a crispy coating and spicy ketchup was delicious. Would like to go back and try some of the other dishes people rave about on yelp.

  • Charlie B.

    happy to see it finally opened. and we were not disappointed. Started with a Swine Old Fashion which was amazing. as far as food, everything we ate was delicious. The corn bread, the hush puppies, mac cheese were all great starters. We were a group of 7 and shared family style. loved the porterhouse pork, the duck, and the ribs. But the foodgasmic highlight was the brisket...O M G!! for dessert the sticky bun was an over the top decadent über yummy dessert.

    It's hard to find great southern food and unique cocktails in Miami. Swine has it all! Make sure to grab drinks from Alex - he makes the best drinks and is extremely creative/talented. He convinced me to try cocktails I never thought I'd like...and now I'm hooked! My favorite is a BACON (yes, bacon!!!) infused old fashioned. I can't stop craving them! Also, when dining, try to sit with Jason...he's great! His recommendations were spot on - chicken (which is actually pork belly fried like chicken) with waffles and bourbon syrup, angus burnt ends, kale salad and, of course, Mac n cheese. I could eat/drink here every day. Enjoy!!!

  • Francesca L.

    Loved it!! Went for Sunday brunch and everything we ordered was amazing. I highly recommend the bacon and waffles! Swine should give other restaurants a lesson on how to make a proper Bloody Mary, one of the best I've ever had!!

  • Matt S.

    So that was pretty great! Got there before the rush. Beautiful greeters! than never hurts! Our server really made the effort to treat this as a dining experience. Walked us thru the menu, knowing much more than expected. Perfect timing on shared courses, constant table manicuring, and great BBQ will set Swine apart from all the new guys on the block. We ordered more food than we could eat - just to try more things. I like close neighbors. I offered them to share in our gluttony. They know they're good, and they charge for it! Kudos! Also sounds like they're getting into hosting events. Pairing up with local growers and brewers. Facebook page has more info on that. Lastly... Sticky bun... That is all. I won't ruin the surprise.

    This place is the best... the only problem is that I eat so much that I can barely move afterwards. The burnt ends and the brisket are amazing! Best restaurant in Coral Gables.

    I love this semi-new restaurant and bar - a real gem in the Gables. They serve up delicious food and FANTASTIC drinks! Plus there's a great vibe resonating within these walls. I found it to be a cool spot just to hang out with the girls and enjoy a fun evening. But I must say, my favorite thing about this place is my girl Juanita! This NY transplant knows how to make a mean drink!! Girl doesn't play! She's an amazing mixologist and I highly suggest her insanely good bourbon concoction mixed with maple infused bacon, or my fave - The Juanita cocktail, (written up in the NY times). Just wow! I'll be back soon for more.

    Ever since I moved to New York 6 years ago I noticed the dining scene in Miami was rather bland.... lots of latin, chinese, italian and sushi joints and thats about it. So I was excited to try out this much acclaimed restaurant on my latest trip to miami. You have to know when you come that you will wait.... they only take reservations for large parties so just sit back relax and have some drinks at the bar (two bars one upstairs and one downstairs). We arrived on Saturday night at 7pm and had to wait an hour, the good thing is they text you when your table is ready so you can even go somewhere else in the neighborhood and return if you don't want to spend $15 dollars on a drink (yep that's what it costs, almost makes me want to take away a star). Hands down one of the best restaurants I've been to in miami because it has the whole package: ambiance, food (yes I've had better food but I'm looking at the whole picture here), service (very attentive, explained the menu etc), large portions for the price (yes an entree might be $25 but it is enough for two). The standouts: Brisket ( soft and flavorful) and the fried green tomatoe BLT! I wouldn't return for the ribs or the mac and cheese but there are so many other things I want to try on the menu it's not even an issue. I love the idea of plates made to share (as they suggest you do) so you can try different dishes and be a bit more adventurous with your food choices.

  • J N.

    YUMMY!! First off, there is a cocktail that is amazing!! It's called the homeland i think- may be $14 but its worth of every cent. I also highly recommend the burnt ends. Perfectly made with a touch of this delicious sauce. Cornbread with jalapenos' was really tasty. We also ordered the brussel sprouts, mac and cheese and brisket. Brussel's were amazzzzing. Mac and Cheese was just ehh and brisket melted in your mouth. To finish we got a cinnabon which i have to say was probably my least favorite part of the meal. Wasn't that soft or warm.

    Im a local to all the Gables eatery, and was very sad to say when I saw this place replace Les Halles. When I walked in the place had a great vibe. We were seated immediately on a Sunday 6pm dinner. From the appetizers the bone marrow was amazing. I only wish that there was more, it was served with an amazing jelly to give it a sweet after pallet. They are right about sharing portions, we had the spare ribs ( I would have to say were the best Ive had) and also the brisket (another amazing dish). Order a side or their brussel sprouts, they may not compare to Whisk but they were good. The cornbread is a must, it burst with the flavors of jalapeño, maple butter and blackberry jelly. I will definitely be coming back.

    I was looking forward to this place so much that i was in a deep depression after not being able to go for several weeks. Finally i find a friend to go with me. We drive by the place and the first thing i notice is that there are no people waiting outside and the hostess area does not have anyone standing around waiting for a table. Hmm. We are seated right away. The hostess was friendly and she took us upstairs. The upstairs is a bit narrow. She sat us at a table up against a the rail overlooking the first floor. The waiter approaches us right away. He's a friendly guy. Met all of our dining needs throughout the entire visit. I was disappointed because they didn't have french toast since i am a french toast fiend, but i am happy to see the waffle. My friend orders the chicken fried bacon and waffle dish and i order the pork and eggs. The food came out pretty fast. I was surprised. I feel like it was only 15 minutes or so. The chicken/waffle thing was presented well. Neat. The pork and eggs was a mess and i had no idea how to start. The eggs were piled on top of the grits and the pork was surrounded the egg/grit mountain. Did not look very appetizing as the pork was practically black with sauce. The waffles had this watermelon spicy sauce dripped on top of it. The sauce itself was good. But not so good when combined with the syrup the plate came with. The syrup was really good. I asked for butter since my meal did not come with butter (blasphemy) and the butter was a homemade maple butter that was excellent...def ask for it. the pork which was touted to be bacon was actually slabs of pork fat that were fried. I was furious. I feel like they tried to trick me by hiding this fatty mess under such a delicious crispy shell. It was disgusting. The waffles were supposed to be cheddar waffles, but i could not taste it at all. the pork and eggs dish was just that. Pork and eggs thrown in together into a bowl. The eggs were well done. the pork was good, but the sauce is a little sweet/sour. I did not see that in the description. I might have missed that. that pork was not fatty, though. which really solidifies my theory that they try to hide the fatty pork with the fried shell. The grits had a strong buttery taste which i disliked...maybe if it tasted like their homemade butter.... I left there unsatisified and i was not full. I went to chocolate fashion next and picked up some carbs to satisfy me. OH! and side note: they only serve mexican Coke. I really dislike Mexican Coke.

    This place is amazing!! I went with a friend on a weekday (don't remember exactly). We just had appetizers, the cheese jar with cured meats.

    Visited while in town after hearing so many people talk about the food. I was pleasantly greeted and headed upstairs where there was lovely live music. The bartender, Jennifer, was very busy but got to us right away. We didn't know what to drink so she made us up some things that weren't even on the menu. Delicious! So good we let her order for us and what a meal it was. All of her recommendations were right on including the best Brussels sprouts I have ever had. We really felt like we were the only people she was taking care of. We will definitely go back to see her!

I had the brisket sandwich and it was so great I was asking my girlfriend whether it was socially acceptable to lick the plate. Erik was our server and he was great, very friendly and informative. I will definitely come back here and try everything on the menu, highly recommend it.

    Having heard good things about Swine, we ventured there recently to see what the hype was all about. If you love BBQ, this is the place for you. The food is very intense ... each bite is rich with flavours, and what appears as small portions actually are extremely filling and satisfying. We began by sharing the fried green tomatoes (very tasty) and burnt ends (ridiculously tasty). I had the ribs, which were quite simply the best ribs I've ever tasted. What amazed me most was the intensity of the flavour. For dessert, the lava cake was great ... extremely rich, but quite delicious. The best part was the homemade ice cream. Next time, I would just get the ice cream. A couple of words of warning: 1) You will leave this restaurant smelling like you've been in a smoker for 5 hours. I used to work in a restaurant, and that was the last time I left a restaurant smelling like the food. 2) Based on 1), this is not a place to take a lady to impress her on a date. 3) The decor and ambience are not consistent with the price. If you judge a restaurant by the prices on the menu, you will expect fancier decor. This is a place for serious food consumption, not idle chit-chat. 4) If you are not into BBQ, don't bother. Technically, there may be an item on the menu that is not BBQ, but this is not a place that caters to vegetarians or non-meat lovers.

  • Julie G.

    The food was yummy and tasty! I loved the rustic, intimate, yet happening ambiance. The cocktails were delicious, I especially loved the homestead cocktail. My favorite dishes were the Mac n cheese and fried green tomatoes. I highly recommend the sticky bun with sweet potato ice cream for dessert. I love that the food is served family style, allowing me to sample several different dishes. I definitely think this place is worth checking out however, reservations are a must! We had a reservation for 8:30, and waited about 45 min to be seated. So you might want to wait until the hype dies down or try yardbird, their sister restaurant, it's equally delicious!

  • Jose G.

    My expectations were higher. The atmosphere was perfect the wait staff was good the food was slightly above average. Pulled Pork was nice but not better than Sparkys. Fish was not good at all Hamburger was real good. Steak Fries are nice and Wood burned cauliflower was different. I came in expecting so much bet i would heave ranked it better if my expectations were not so high. I would go back and give it another try.

  • Private A.

    Maybe I am biased having experienced Texas BBQ (Krites, Ironworks for example) but Swine missed the mark. I once read a review on Randazzo's where a Yelper commented that it had The Big Cheese food for outrageous prices, I was going to say the same about Swine; it has Shorty's food for outrageous prices-but, Shorty's is better. $35 for a 1/2 rack of DRY ribs that may have been left over from lunch then reheated. I've had better at Tony Roma's. Cornbread also dry and unimpressive, The Cracker Barrel has better cornbread and southern style green beans also. The baked beans were very tomato saucy, I prefer Shorty's beans. Save your money and go to Shorty's if you want BBQ.

  • Taylor P.

    Solid 2 stars. Ambiance was great and I liked the decor, the service and food were not that great. The check came to a total of $120 for 2 people. We spilt an app and an entree, dessert and we had 2 drinks. Way overpriced for what we had. Ordered the burnt ends, yes they were burnt; however there was no meat in our order, we ate straight up grizzle. The pork butt main dish sounded great, however another let down on the flavor scale. They did not have any quality light beers too choose from or beers on Tap. I feel that any BBQ place should most defiantly have a quality beer selection and draft beers, seriously... We ate the milk and cookies (homemade Oreos) for dessert, they were good, but not great. In addition, our waiter hovered over your back and whispered in your ear everything, every time he came to the table, and to all of the other tables he had. It was pretty annoying, I almost told him how annoying it was and I'm very surprised his manager or no one else has mentioned it to him? My and my girlfriend's stomach killed later that night and the next day. If you want good BBQ in Miami, then go someplace else. You'll pay about a third of the price and have a better quality meal.

    This was our 2nd Swine visit and what a pleasure to be sat immediately. Our host greeted us with a warm smile. We'd done our research and want to say Thank you to Robert for living up to all the press about your cocktails. Our server Lisa is knowledgeable and professional while still exuding warmth and a genuine desire to provide us an unforgettable night. It's not always just about the food, which was mostly awesome. This visit, our brisket was HUGE and so tender. The mac and cheese was a little loose and saucy, not as thick, creamy and spectacular as the first time we had it. The ribs, burnt ends and cornbread were spot on. The beans; "eh" Order the brisket and request Lisa as your server.

  • A D.

    Great decor. Nice bar. That is where my likes end. Ribs - Too salty and not hot enough. $32 for a plate of ribs is a bit much. Burnt Ends - OK Brisket - Actually very tasty. Best dish by far. Shrimp and Grits - Too much going on and not much shrimp. Mac and Cheese - Average. Scallop appetizer - good. Corn Bread - Not good at all. If you are going for a drink with friends and happen to get some food, the place is fine. The food is edible but this is not the best food in town.

    The place - NOTHING like Miami, which I absolutely loved. I love my city, but something must be said for interior design when once inside, you question if you're really in your hometown. An upscale country feel, with cozy lighting and a fresh oakwood aroma to get your senses going. Simple and quaint, yet with all the elegance of contemporary dining. The service - There was a little bit of a wait, but our bartender, Alex made it a pleasant one at the bar upstairs. Excellent service by our server Josh and very knowledgable of the menu, which is huge for me. Above all, everyone seems happy to work there, which makes for a feel good environment. The food - Oh my gah! Amazing stuff. Two words: Brussels sprouts. Mac and cheese, to die for. Meat, meat and more meat! The portions were perfect and so rich in flavor! I didn't make it to dessert, but the classic options seemed simple enough to bring a smile to any soul. Overall, an excellent experience. But, you might want to make a reservation to avoid a long wait for dinner.

    Loved our brunch there a week ago. Our server was amazingly helpful with all of our questions. Coral Gables has desperately needed a new, fun, relaxed place like this that also has GOOD food.

    50 Eggs Has done it again! I think every restaurant these guys make is amazing. The mixture of ingredients and flavors is amazing. Decor, was very hipster. The Crispy Pork was 2DF!!

    My boyfriend and I are big on good drinks and good food and Swine did not disappoint. We got two small plates and split an entree with a side and left more than satisfied. Great service, nice ambiance, great cocktails and even better food. I recommend the Buck and Gable cocktail if you like ginger beer. BLT fried green tomato was out of this world. For an entree I recommend the chicken and waffles. Don't be mistaken its not made with chicken, it's even better, pork belly! as a side the mac and cheese was delicious. I definitely recommend this place for couples, singles and anyone looking for an overall good time.

    After seeing the great reviews online I was so excited to visit. My friend and I had the ribs and brisket. The meat was amazingly tender but lacked any flavor. The BBQ sauce tasted more like ketchup than BBQ. The Brussel sprouts were burnt to a crisp. The service was lackluster at best with our food arriving well before our drinks. Thoroughly disappointed and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area.

    The pulled pork and eggs are incredible. Service was great. My only problem was that they didn't have high chairs for my toddler. Had a hard time feeding him and eating trying to hold him.

    Food was excellent. The service was expensive as our credit card was " swiped" and used for a fabulous outing at South Beach..without us. The insult is that we are now the third couple we know that has had this same problem within the past 6 months! So, forget the tip as they give themselves a generous tip on your credit card!

    OK, but not great. Service was great, but food could be better. The Mac and Cheese was well prepared, but cold; ribs were dry and VERY spicy overall. The cornbread was delicious. Burger was a great option. Frankly, it is hit or miss in this place.

    I think this place is really suited for the 20-30 year olds, not the 50 plus. Too noisy, tables to close together and pricey for what you get. That being said the food was delicious the drinks were fantastic, something called the penicillin, boy two of those and you would never need to see the doctor again! Would recommend to my daughter's and their friends.

    Gotta be honest here for the price I was expecting out of this world ribs. Flannigans for the $ is a better deal. Can't charge a super premium and not deliver. Also ordered the deviled eggs. Not very good way toomuch dill. Mac and cheese needs work. Has an odd flavor that it was left open in the fridge. Also ordered the cookies dessert they were under cooked. Only thing i really liked was my latte. Wouldnt go here again Corn bread was also bland. Great that it's free but get with the salt man add some honey to the batter

    I went to Swine this morning for brunch with a group for a friend's birthday. They put us in a communal table even though we had a reservation and they took forever to take orders and bring out drinks. They bring out the food as it's hot, which is very inconvenient for dinning in a group--our waffle was done way before everyone's food and then theirs came slowly, one plate every few minutes. Also, their food is way overpriced. I mean, really overpriced. They tell you that all their portions are meant to be shared between two people but out of everything our group ordered, the only thing that was sized to share was the shrimp and grits ($28). My husband and I ordered the Big Ol' Waffle ($15), which had nothing "big" about it. It was a regular-sized (maybe even smaller than that) waffle with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, strawberries, and bananas on top. It tasted ok--nothing to write home about. We also ordered the Organic eggs ($6) and those were actually really good. My husband ordered a diet coke and they brought out this little 8oz glass bottle that barely filled the glass. That was $3. If you order a regular coke, you get a bigger glass bottle, but I am not sure how much they'll charge you for it. All and all, we spent $30 on a unsatisfying meal in which we received subpar service. We left feeling hungry and disappointed. My table also had burgers (which looked kind of good) and eggs Benedict, which were definitely not big enough to share. Also, the mac and cheese comes in a TINY bowl. Overall, very overpriced and overhyped. I was not impressed by anything I saw. Also, the whole concept of "indigenous southern food" is a bit much. Just because you put bacon in everything it doesn't mean you are making southern food. Having lived in the south for 7 years, I think I can tell fake southern food when I see it, and this was definitely it.

    Amazing! These guys at 50 Eggs really know how to take a restaurant concept and blow it out of the park! I loved the whole Southern feel the restaurant had- from the decor to the drinks and the food I felt like I was in the South from the moment I walked in. I had to try Swine after I fell in love with Yardbird and of course I was not one bit disappointed. The ribs were an amazing fall-off-the-bone experience. I also tried the scallops and fish and were both great. The sticky icky bun for dessert did not disappoint either. I definitely want to be back to try to Brisket, looked absolutely amazing!

    Really really good. Just be prepared to diet the day before you show up...and the day after too! Pulled pork is unbelievable. Sticky Bun for dessert is a can't miss. The atmosphere is A-1 as well. Cool wood and country benches to sit on.....they also make a homemade moonshine type drink in a big barrel upstairs....fun.

    This is the type of place that really divides me. First off I love the decor of this place just the smell alone is enough to get you drunk on pig. Now, first our waiter was very efficient, but man put on a smile once in awhile, he just looked like he wanted us gone. Next, the bar is amazing especially if you are a whiskey lover, but it is very expensive, but good whiskey is supposed to be a little pricey. However, I really did not like their selection of beer, I mean come on this is a BBQ place get a better selection of beer. Also, they had a Pina Colada which my wife had and it was terrible, literally straight up rum with ice and I paid $13.00 for it. Alright now to get to the part that kills me about this place. Listen I love BBQ and have had some of the best in NC, Atlanta, SC, and other places in the south and I can say that Swine does have some great BBQ, but BBQ is never meant to be this expensive. Pork and brisket are not expensive!!!!! so don't charge $30 for a pork chop which by the way is very small. Also, the whole menu is full of over-priced and small portioned items. For example a side of fries is $9.00 and its a small portion consisting of 8-10 small potato wedges. Now those fries were good and the baked beans were amazing, but again a small portion with a big price tag. Honestly, Swine is a great place, but come on this is BBQ and it is not supposed to be so fancy and expensive. Keep it simple and that is where some of the best food is found. I most likely will not be going back to Swine unless its for happy hour or a special event. Its not a rip off, but there are other options for BBQ with much more reasonable prices. Enjoy, but get your wallet ready for a big hit.

    This is for happy hour only. Limited, unimaginative drink and food menu (2 cocktails, 1 beer, 2 anonymous wines). Upstairs bar. HORRIBLE service. 10 min for the order to be taken, 3 different servers bringing other tables orders to every table there until people started waving "hey over here, don't care what it is we've been waiting a long long time. Skip this unhappy hour.

    All I can say is AMAZING! After hearing so many friends compliment this place, I thought I would give it a try for dinner the other day and I am so glad I did! I had the ribeye and my daughter had the brisket and both were made just right. What I loved most about this place was the service. There is nothing better than having a knowledgable server and that is what we thankfully had! Miguel took great care of us and recommended the sticky icky bun which was the best part of our experience there! I would go back for the stick icky bun every day if I could! We will definitely go back one of these days!

    Been here twice. The first time was 2 stars the second was 4.5. The newly revamped menu was much needed. Brunch was insane! I ordered the special which was an alligator sausage omelet. It was great. The burger was perfect. I could've done without the pulled pork sandwich. The dessert was delicious, albeit too sweet. It was a cinnamon bacon roll w a bourbon ice cream. It's not my favorite but it definitely won't dissapoint!. The service was great except that they wouldn't seat us until our entire party was there. I decided to wait at the bar and was ignored by the bartender for quite a while. He didn't even acknowledge my existence. Eventually I got my drink and it was delicious. Later I ordered the Bloody Mary. It was of the better bloody Mary's I've had. The music was way too loud upstairs but they lowered it after it became so loud we had to yell to one another. All in all a good spot! Not as good as yardbird tho :)

    I came here for HH with a girl friend. We decided to sit at the downstairs bar because it was not too busy. As soon as we sat down we were greeted by our bartender for the night, Alex. He asked what we would like to drink, my friend decided on a glass of white wine. I am a bit more adventurous and told him to surprise me. and boy did he! he made me the best daiquiri I have ever had. I couldn't quite figure out what one of the flavors was and asked and he said carrot juice, pure genius. It was absolutely delicious. We only had plans for one drink, but he convinced us to try the sticky buns, the selling factor was definitely the candied bacon. Alex suggested that we pair the sticky bun with a Basil hayden. I usually do not like rye bourbon, but it was delicious. I would definitely come back to eat here, food was great and service was excellent. Hopefully next time I come back, Alex will be behind the bar to mix me up another concoction.

  • Victor L.

    First, the service and ambience are top notch, no complaints there. But I have to agree with a couple other reviewers: the food isn't really all that. I had the pulled pork sandwich, a brisket slider, the mac and cheese and the sticky bun. The pulled pork was nearly inedible. WAY too much mustard; I have to imagine this was an error on the cook's part. The brisket was alright but also drenched in sauce, like a mouthful of KC and worcestershire. I don't care how long you slow cooked it, if you murder it with sauce at the end, congrats you just ruined a good piece of meat. The mac and cheese was the best I've had (and I've had lots of pretentious mac and cheese) and pushed this rating from a 2 to a 3. The sticky bun was delightful, but also it's just a $10 cinnabun when you think about it. The food is exorbitantly priced for the amount you get and nothing on the menu is a good value in the slightest. In Miami there isn't much in the way of BBQ, but Memphis, St Louis, Chicago, Kansas City et al will give you much better and more BBQ for half the price. Go for a power lunch so you can rub elbows with the slightly more attractive people, but don't expect a life changing experience.

    Why do waiters speak in the plural we. How are we today. Have we been to swine before. This was my second impression of swine but the one that comes to mind first. My first impression is that it is a pseudo ranch barn, reminiscent of a retired barn. I looked around and sighed because brasserie les Halle was such a fine place for bistro food and looked like it. Back to swine. Decent bar b que up scaled. Does not deserve the right to call it BBQ but that's for joints. This not a joint. The ribs were pricey at 32 bucks for about 8 or so ribs. Nothing accompanied the ribs. In fact except for the sandwiches which come with fries the mains come plain. The shrimp and grits was smokey with ham but the shrimp seemed under cooked and it needed more grits. I mean grits ain't exactly the price item so why not toss a few more grits on the table. We tried the hush puppies. Not bad but pretty much fried corn bread balls. In all it the service was friendly and professional, the food decent, and the prices high for lunch. It's south beach comes to the gables and if you like that sort of thing you will have fun.

    Can't stop dreaming about the Mac and Cheese! Went for the first time last week after hearing my co-workers talk about the food and drinks non-stop. We got there around 8pm and the hostess told us it would be a small wait. She said we should take a look at the cocktail menu while we waited. We were greeted warmly by the bartender who was in the process of breaking an egg and using the whites for a drink. I had never seen this before so I asked him what it was and he said he was making one of their signature cocktails. I ordered that drink and it looked amazing while he made it, but it got even better when he drizzled red wine over the top. Wine and liquor, together at last! My friends all ordered cocktails also and they were all delicious. Alex definitely made us fans of Swine right from the start. For dinner we all shared the burnt ends of a pork roast, brussel sprouts, brisket and the mac and cheese. Everything was really tasty and came out fairly quickly. Miguel our server was very attentive and was quick to bring me more of Alex's delicious drinks. The mac and cheese was definitely the star of the meal for me though. I ordered a second one for the table and didn't share it at all! Overall we had a great time and everything lived up to the hype I had been hearing for months. Absolutely coming back again and again.

    Wow was I looking forward to this place! You walk in and everything smells like pork and bacon (translation: this is what heaven ought to smell like). We started with cocktails. The Old Cuban is a must. Then, the fried green tomatoes. These were really good with just enough pork belly and the pimento cheese was a great addition. For our meal with ordered the brisket and the pork loin. Our waiter said the pork loin was the chef's favorite dish and that it was a "must-have". It was not. The loin was tasteless and bland. The brisket on the other hand, was tasty and the portion shareable. The mac and cheese really saved the meal. Last, we shared a slice of red velvet cake. It was forgettable. I had high hopes for this place. Overall, I might give Swine another try.

    Kudos to the restaurant management of this restaurant and the beyond professional staff. I arrived Saturday nite at 8;45 to a packed house. The short wait was handled by gracious ambassadors of this new restaurant. The wait was short lived and accommodating in every way( Catch MIami Beach could learn from this well tuned organization). The food came out promply and delicious. Try to get a table upstairs where the noise level is less intrusive. I will be back and strongly recommend.

    The entire meal was delicious..... We came with reservations made- ( highly recommend ) in tow of a birthday celebration.... The shrimp and grits and chicken fried bacon waffles are a must..... The fried green tomato BLT, and crusted cornbread dish was absolutely tasty.... The sticky bun dessert was out if this world.... Our waiter - Jason was super friendly and knowledgeable. He worked hard to make it a flawless night. I would give it a 5- but still a few hic cups to iron out.... A few drinks were forgotten and a main dish... But that's okay- we were stuffed anyway.... two thumbs up.... You must try Swine. We dig it....

    Well I'm back came with my father in law and we are bbq southern favorites. The place was packed but handled well . I am so upset I gave this place fours stars after this visit. The food was so incredible I wetted a tear. I mean this is good fooddddd. We order the Mac n cheese well being a steak house person , I can't remember when was the last time i even ate something close to this Mac n cheese. Wow it had it all creamy texture flavor ok enough then the burnt ends we're amazing a must try, after some great bourbon we enjoyed the good music and were presented with our main courses. Her imp and grits and the smoky ribs. Wow both we're amazing the shrimps were juicy and perfectly cooked and the sauce wow and the ribs had a dry rub that was special and so juicy hummmmm I can't wait to go back . Tis is the best!!!!

    I previously left a review after having a lackluster lunch experience here. However, I went back for dinner and they won me over. :) The food was great, and the service was as well. We had the burnt ends as an appetizer, the brisket as an entree, and had the cornbread and mac & cheese sides. All were really delicious. My only complaint are the drinks - they seem quite small considering the pricing! However, my drink, I think it was called Homestead Bound, was quite good. Just wish there was a little more of it!

    I finally went here after being told how amazing the burger is and must admit.... holy crap possibly my favorite burger in south florida. You may want to eat healthy all day in order to not feel horrible after this splurge but I highly recommend giving it a shot. We also had the sticky bun thing for dessert and it was also delicious and very clearly artery clogging.

    My family took our mom to Swine for Mother's Day. We were seated immediately and to accommodate our party size, they placed us in at the back table (by the bar- 2nd floor) which was great. It was a cozy area with soft lighting and our waiter immediately greeted us. We ordered the cornbread, chicken fried bacon, salad (special at the time), cauliflower, and brisket. The food hit the nail on the head for southern cooking and was packed with flavor. Midway through the meal, after opening Mother's Day gifts, we started feeling warm and smelling smoke. The room seemed smokier than we remembered and alarms started sounding. Shortly after, the power went out and the dimly lit room became very dark with few lights powered by a generator. The manager and waiters were franticly trying to address the power outage which now took the AC victim and meanwhile my mom struggled to see whether she was cutting brisket or the table. As with any bad situation, we tried to make the best of it and used flashlight apps to see the food on our table. Our waiter and the manager apologized profusely and truthfully made it fun in the process of tending to us. We even had waiters rig flashlights to lighten up things. At the end, the manager brought us our check with an illustrated "check" symbol and explained it was on the house. The food was delicious, staff great, and it's an experience we'll never forget. Surprisingly, we'll definitely going back.

    My wife and I arrived Wednesday at 6pm and although the restaurant was empty except for a couple seated at one of the many tables on the first floor and three people at the far end of the "shared" table in the back we were told our only seating options were at the bar or the "shared" table since they had a large party coming which would take the second floor. I asked what I felt was a reasonable question, "if the large party will be upstairs why can't we sit at one of the many unoccupied tables for two downstairs?". This line of questioning apparently did not sit well with the hostess who again stated our choices were the bar or the shared table. We elected to sit at the shared table and took our seats at the opposite end of the table from where the other patrons were seated. No more than 60 seconds later another rather snooty hostess came to inform us that we had to move down the table because a group of 5 people were going to be seated. Mind you, there are at least 2 or 3 times that number of seats between us and the party at the other end and when I asked why we had to move rather than the party of 5 sitting in the unoccupied seats the hostess said there was an issue with how the table is divided among the waiters. At this point my wife and I decided to leave and had another wonderful time a block away at Flemings, arriving at 6:10pm and enjoying the incredible happy hour specials until 7pm. SWINE.....you lived up to your name!

    Finally came here for brunch and wow the food was amazing! From the deep fried Brussels sprouts to my perfectly poached egg we were very pleased. They have unlimited mimosas or bloody Mary's for $20 during brunch which we enjoyed plus they had delicious bacon in their Bloody Mary. We ordered the sticky bun desert and it wasn't as soft as I would have liked but even then the flavor of the ice cream and everything together Really hit the spot. Will be coming back very soon!

    Awesome central location. Valet parking. Comfortable seating. Attentive staff. Delicious food. Do I really need to write anymore? My husband, mother, and best friend invited me out for my birthday dinner. I of course checked the restaurant out on Yelp before anything. Problem with that was I drooled over all the photographs and didn't bother to look at the dates they were taken (over a year ago) so some of the items I was now craving were not available like the vanilla bean milkshake with candied bacon, or the chicken and waffles. BUT that's okay. We were just in time for Miami Spice. $39 gets you an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Talk about a bargain for a restaurant where a plate of ribs alone is $28. The inside of the restaurant is a mod-barnyard type of deal with beautiful rustic lighting fixtures and preserved fruits and vegetables for decoration. The lighting is dim and sort of romantic, and the aromas of bacon is out of this world. Our waitress, Andrea walked us through the menu since it was our first time. She recommended a wine that was so good we ended up buying two bottles for dinner - Bebame (red). The menu is a la carte, but the sides really aren't necessary take my word for it. Since I was the only one in the party who took advantage of the Miami Spice deal; I was entitled to an appetizer. I ordered the Burnt Ends - holy PIG that was so delicious! It's a small serving of about 6 pieces of pork butt tips smothered in a smokey BBQ sauce served with cornbread purée. The waitress advised the best way to eat burnt ends is just by mixing it all together. She was totally right. The pork pieces melted in my mouth from how tender they were. The table ordered some cornbread. The cornbread was crazy good. It's made with jalepeños, cheddar, and of course BACON! They are served warm with a homemade maple butter *mmmmm* and a blackberry jam. One order brings 4 and since they're constantly making them they come out quick and fresh In case you get there starving. For my entree I chose the ribs and holy smokes am I glad I did. Those had to have been the best ribs I've ever had EVER and I am not exaggerating. They have a sweet and smokey dry rub and meat just falls right off the bone. Like you don't even have to try to get it off. Perfect "date night" plate of ribs for a lady lol. Everyone else at the table got something different: my mother ordered the shrimp and grits and she loved them! She finished her entire plate. My husband ordered the Swine Burger. Halfway through he looked like he was going comatose from how full he was, but it was so good he didn't stop. Lastly my best friend he orders a pork salad and a side of Mac and cheese (with bacon lol) the pork salad was a little odd, but he said it was delicious. It's a portion of what seems to be shredded pork and 4 small rods of romaine lettuce. I got some crazy coco dessert. I forgot the name. I didn't care for the mouse part at the bottom it was a little to salty for my taste, but the chocolate ice cream on top was to die for. I CANNOT WAIT TO RETURN!! Thank you SWINE for making my birthday one to remember!

    50 Eggs can do no wrong in my opinion. I've been to Swine a few times now and I've always been really impressed. Service has been solid (at least half the times I've been it's been great - others have been a little frustrating, but this is Miami, so I grade on a curve for service) and the food has always been on point. My two favorite things have been the burnt tips and mac & cheese. Burnt tips - I think I always get these. They are fantastic. Technically an appetizer, but it's a decent size if you are going for a smaller meal or looking to share various plates. Comes with cornbread. Mac & Cheese - comes with bacon, 5 cheeses and breadcrumbs that make a nice crust. It's delicious. I've also had the brisket, fried green tomatoes and pulled pork sandwich. The decor/look of the place is homey and screams "upscale comfort food" which is exactly what this is. With that said the price point is a little higher than what you'd normally pay for BBQ - but you are also paying for the ambiance, quality and of course the location. Parking has actually never been an issue. They offer valet, but I've always just parked at one of the garages. A quick walk of a block or so has never been an issue.

    This place is just incredible. My husband and I went for Miami Spice, and I'm so grateful we did. You walk in, and the place smells like BBQ and gorgeous smoked meat -- you're literally in heaven. The hostess was polite and welcoming, and our server was a great balance of attentive but not too pushy. We had both the Burnt Ends and the Fried Green Tomatoes, and they were both so excellent. I have to say that the Burnt Ends were the real star of the show from start to finish - charred on the outside, tender brisket meat, side of cornbread puree, and that BBQ sauce was so tangy and flavorful.... I would go back just to have that dish! Our entrees were the BBQ chicken and ribs, which were great as well. We were disappointed with the Death by Chocolate dessert, unfortunately. Seemed so mediocre after such a lovely meal. In addition to the so-so dessert, I have to say the price was also a factor in taking off a star. If it wasn't for Miami Spice, I'm not sure that we'd be able to go as much as we'd like. In short, it's very expensive, though the food is delicious. All in all, Swine is a GEM in the Gables community. So happy to have it here, and I'm looking forward to going back some day!

    Oh my god, thank you Miami Spice gods! I had been meaning to come here for a while, I'm beyond happy I came for their Miami Spice lunch! I made reservations at 1 and the wait was about 15-20 minutes but I wasn't going to give them beef, I'm understandable. The Interior of this place took me the Ole south, I loved it! It was dimly lit like a cabin, and I could smell the wood logs. A great job. The food and customer service does not fall behind, honest to the Miami Spice gods. Everything was spectacular. I walked in famished and was offered a refreshment while I waited to be seated. My waiter Amilkar who's Nicaraguan, was awesome! When your food tastes overly good and you get 5 star service, you want to come back! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    Where to begin with this heavenly restaurant? Southern food has been taken to a whole new level of greatness. I'm not a meat, pork or chicken eater but after having the food here I can learn to love pork. Everything in this place is perfect, the decor, the ambiance, it's modern and trendy and the main attraction is definitely the food. You must try the burnt tips and the corn bread muffins to start. The ribs and Mac and cheese are delectable and the desserts do not disappoint. They have delicious cookies and milk with a twist and the sticky bun with caramel ice cream is sinful.

    I went here with high expectations. I just tried Yardbird for the first time last week and it blew me away. We made a reservation for restaurant week and invited another couple to join us. We were greeted and seated rather quickly and dessert was amazing. In between everything was a little disappointing, Our server took absolutely forever to come and greet us. I know it's busy but at least make eye contact and let us know you are aware of us. The drinks took forever and the food was decent, not the extraordinary food I experienced at the sister restaurant. I started with the deviled eggs and they were standard. My main course was the fish special and it was okay. A little bland and over salted. The highlight of the meal was the blackberry bourbon drink and the homemade ice cream which were both phenomenal! Not to impressed, I'll stick to Yardbird.

    Edison light bulbs, North Carolina timber, distressed glass mirrors... These were some of the first things I noticed when I walked in for lunch. The decór is spot on for setting the tone for this BBQ experience. I finally made it to the restaurant and lucked out as it was participating in Coral Gables restaurant week. For lunch under $20 I had roasted cauliflower soup, the brisket burger (the smoked portobello was sold out), and the Jack & cookies. The roasted cauliflower soup was out of this world. It was so good I could have stopped eating and been thoroughly satisfied. The brisket burger was delicious. The brisket was a bit salty for my taste and the bottom bun was soggy. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't out of this world. The burger came with hand cut wedge fruits and a spicy ketchup that I'll copy at home or when invited to friend's BBQ parties. The staff were great to me during my visit. Michael was friendly and knowledgeable. I'll be back to try some more items from the regular menu, just not so soon since I can easily see the pounds packing on quickly if I eat here often. Definitely worth checking out.

    Came here for lunch during Coral Gables Restaurant Week... The decor is very nice... lots of wood. You get that southern style feel right off the bat and of course the smoked smells as soon as you walk in. Ordered: - Swine Mix Greens: The mixed green salad was really good. It came lightly dressed in a dressing. It had some golden raisins, pecans, and at the bottom of the salad was a nice surprise... a nice fat chunk of golden beet, which tasted awesome. I was so pleased with the addition of the golden beet to the salad. - Soup of the day was corn chowder: The soup was a little less inspiring, but it was a good soup. It was cream corned based. Not much to write about though. - Swine Burger- This burger was the superstar of the meal. The burger comes with two patties, bacon, pickles, american cheese, and their special sauce. The burger patties are a mix of short rib, brisket, and smoked pork= awesome combo. The burger patties are so juicy and tasty, the flavors of the meat is out of this world. Their fries are thick cut and are seasoned so well. 5 out of 5 burger. - The Overnight Burger- this burger was also very good. It's a single patty topped with pork belly chili that's heavy with black beans. On top of the chili there's some crumbled cheetos and a hot sauce aoili. I had a few bites of this burger and was also very good. - Mac n cheese: I decided to order a mac n cheese side since i'm a fatty. I am actually not crazy about their mac n cheese. It's a 5 cheese mac with bacon and toasted breadcrumbs on top. It's not bad, i'd eat it, but it's not a mac n cheese that I'd really look forward to ordering again if I were to come back to Swine. - Jack & Cookies:Chocolate chip cookies with a small glass of Jack Daniel's with Tennessee Honey Milk. The addition of the Jack Daniel's milk was nice, the cookies were good, but overall nothing out of this world. For $19 this 3 course meal was an AWESOME value. So far, the best lunch value i've had during restaurant week. The burgers were definitely the highlights. I left stuffed (shouldn't have even ordered the mac n cheese), the quality of the food was awesome, and at $19, I left very happy. Normally their swine burger alone is $18, which is not something I'd pay for on a regular basis. If they had a lunch deal similar to their Restaurant Week menu, I would definitely come by for lunch for often. Overall, the Swine menu is on the pricey side, but this review is specifically on my experience for lunch during Gables Restaurant Week.

    I love Swine. Ive been to Swine several times. My favorite dishes are the Swine Burger, Mac n Cheese and Burnt Ends and the Cornbread ...in that order. I just went for the first time during Happy Hour (weekdays 4-7pm) and tried the Bourbon Smash. It was delicious and only $5! I had two :) The nostalgic Cookies and Milk dessert is cute and tasty. They make their own "Oreo" cookies and spike the milk with something that I can't remember now. The place is gorgeous and the food spectacular. I can't wait to go back!

    Brunch= excellence! We already experienced swine dinner once and it was superb! After reading so many amazing reviews for their brunch, I was dying to try it. We made reservations for 2 pm on Sunday because swine is known to get ridiculously packed especially prime time. Thank god we did as the waiting time for no reservations was nearly an hour. Since we arrived a little earlier than 2 pm, we were told to just wait a few mins for our table to be ready so we decided to go to the bar and get our $20 bottomless mimosas! Like always, this is a great special during any brunch. So here we are a few mins later and we are being escorted to the upstairs dining room which I was secretly hoping they would sit us in. On our first visit for dinner, we sat downstairs so now I can officially say I've sat and dined in both areas. Upstairs is definitely the place you want to sit. It's much more cozier and it just has a different,cooler vibe. Having looked at the menu and reviews before, we knew exactly what we were going for. My bf went for the brisket steak and eggs with southern style hash and I went for the pulled pork and eggs. Omg, where to begin. First, the eggs are organic so that is a huge plus, second having had the brisket once before we knew the brisket was going be phenomenal. The meat is so tender, it literally slides off the fork. The brisket smell is the smell that literally fills up the entire restaurant when you walk in, its so hard to ignore. The potato hash is creamy and has a similar taste to their Mac and cheese which is to die for. My pulled pork was also really tender and was mixed in with cheesy grits and topped with 2 organic sunny side up eggs. Can I say wow??! It was the perfect combo! Brunch is perfection at swine. Definitely on my top 5. We didn't end our brunch with any of their famous desserts simply bc we had no room but we did end up running into Chris Bosh whose favorite place for brunch is swine, and we can't blame him one bit.

    Food is great! The server knew everything there was abut the menu and had a handful of recommendations. That was very helpful! I recommend the Shrimp & Grits, Brisket. I thought that the tables were placed really close together, it's as if you're eating with the people next to you. Parking is typical for the area - pretty sure they do have valet but don't quote me on that.

    Recently ate at Swine Southern Table and while the food was good, the setup of the tables is a bit odd. I had a little bit of trouble getting in to the first table they were going to sit us at and I'm not that big. We were also extremely close to our neighbors. We asked to be moved and they gave us another table upstairs that was better. The place is very loud for my taste. Had trouble having a conversation with my husband and he was sitting directly in front of me.

    Brisket burger and Mac-n-Cheese take the gold!! The BBQ-filled menu with a southern charm makes Swine truly worth every (a lot of) pennies! It's great for a group outing or romantic low-lighting date night. I had brought a cake for my boyfriend's birthday and they really helped out with placing it in the fridge and bringing it out for us. They provide plates and forks with no charge when you bring an outside-vendor cake. It's great finding a place that really values the event and customer. Oh & the Old Fashioned is a must have too.

    I'm overdue for a review of Swine. I love this place. However, I'm glad I never reviewed it before going to Pride and Joy BBQ, because I would've given Swine 5 stars and then would've had to give Pride and Joy a 6 star, which would've been a problem for obvious reasons...Anyway, to the point: while Swine wins with ambiance, service, booze choices, both in length (hello, LONG list of Scotch, Whiskey, Wine, etc.), and creativity (delicious craft cocktails), Pride and Joy takes the lead, (dare I say by far?) with their BBQ, which should be after all the big star of any eatery serving southern food. I've had Swine's burnt ends, mac n' cheese, Brussel sprouts, ribs, brisket, Sticky Bun...and while everything is good, (it was THEIR Brussel sprouts what converted me to an avid follower of this delicious little cabbage), once you try Pride and Joy's ribs, brisket, or any other BBQ variation, you realize Swine's is good, but not great. And this is why I feel that their prices are also a little inflated. Is it worth it then? Oh yes. Whenever you get a bonus, feel like you need to dress up a little, have outstanding service and drinks, or simply have an amazing overall experience, head over to Swine. If you just want to roll off your couch and eat outrageously delicious BBQ with the last 30 bucks left in your pocket, you guessed it right :)

    Phenomenal experience at Swine Southern Table & Bar. My fiance and I had a reservation for 2 for dinner. We were seated within 10 minutes of our arrival. The restaurant was absolutely packed and the wait (without a reservation) was up to 75 minutes. Thankfully they take reservations. The decor and ambiance is one of a kind. Wood paneling, leather seats, and dim lighting gives the restaurant a very rustic, backwoods-type feel, which is great for a barbecue place. We started with an order of the burnt ends. They arrived at our table within 10 minutes of ordering. It is their most popular starter, so I'm sure they have them ready to go. I honestly cannot think of any tastier, more delectable appetizer in a barbecue restaurant than these burnt ends. They are the perfect combination of smoky and hickory flavor. Just the right amount of barbecue sauce makes them a light appetizer not likely to fill you up. The ends just melt in your mouth. Literally. I secretly wanted the entire order to myself, that's how great they are. As my main course, I went with the Swine Burger with a side order of the pigtail mac n cheese, as I have heard nothing but good things about both. The Swine Burger was cooked medium and juicy as a burger could be. Complete with pickles, bacon and special Swine sauce, this burger satisfies even the hungriest of men. The mac n cheese is as delicious as your mother's homemade. Crispy on top, hot and steaming in the center. The portions are fairly large so you will be satisfied and not really wanting more. We decided against dessert as the two of us were filled up. The service was A+. Our waitress was very sweet and extremely accommodating. The service was flawless (except they forgot to set our table with silverware, but no big deal, they grabbed us fresh flatware right away). One drawback: the restaurant is VERY loud. We sat on the upper loft-esque level that overlooks the main dining floor and the noise just carries throughout. I would say that it is very slightly overpriced, but overall not bad considering the location (one block from Miracle Mile) and the high quality of the food. We will definitely be back to Swine!

    First things first - food is AMAZING. We had s group of 7, and 3 of us had the burgers (yum!!) one had the brisket, another had the pork shoulder, another had ribs. I tried all of them and was not disappointed. We had the Brussel sprouts, potatoes, and Mac n cheese as sides - ALL delicious. Our server Dylan took care of us, stayed on top of waters and drinks. Now, DO NOT VALET. The valet actually hit our friends car while backing out, right in front of us!! And they were so unprofessional and the guy didn't even speak English! Just don't do it. I get it, they are not apart of Swine, but man. Not a good experience there. And the hostess was a bit rude to me on the phone. I just wanted to let her know we needed to change our party from 6 to 7 people, and she was just snappy and talked back at me a bit. I get it, you have stressful days at the restaurant (I worked in one, most of my family and know friends in the industry) but, there was no way I was ever rude to a customer, that is a huge no-no. You are the face of the restaurant, could be a deciding factor of someone wanting to go or cancel a reso because of how you were treated. Overall, will definitely be back! Mainly for the food and the atmosphere ;))

    I've been meaning to try this place for awhile now because I hear such good things. The whole place was packed, but we had a reservation and were seated immediately. The upstairs seating was cozy and our server came over as soon as we got settled. I had the blackberry crush to drink and it was strong and tart - definitely refreshing with all the heavy food we ordered. I had the burnt ends and the Mac and cheese while my boyfriend had the brisket and the cornbread. I can honestly say that it was the best meal I've had in a long time. Everything was so well done. It's a little on the pricy side, but it was 110% worth it. The ambiance is wonderful and the food was even better. My only regret is that I didn't leave room for dessert.

    Our 4th time here if that's any indication of how much we like the food. Like rye whiskey? The selection will impress you. Beef tips with the creamy cornbread sauce? On point. Tonight we had the shrimp & grits and it wasn't good... It was amazing. The sweet mushroom gravy sauce with tomatoes that they pair with the grits is amazing and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. They actually changed this recipe by substituting red peppers for tomatoes and it's even better! Devin the manager and Brooke the bartender on the 2nd floor bar really outdid themselves, checking on us several times tonight. Happy eating!

    It has occurred to me that the more I experience Miami Cuisine, the more I realize just what an excellent cook I am. It's not that I don't like to be out there, dining out, eating, drinking and laughing with friends, , I do, I do, it's just that it's so seldom that I experience food that I can't honestly say, I can do this just as well, or better... There are a bunch of items that I no longer even consider eating out because I KNOW that mine are better. At Swine and Southern, Wednesday night, as much I enjoyed the company of dear friends at a birthday dinner; the pretty cozy wood, the low lighting that caused my friends to scramble to turn on their phone flashes,.....( Well "I" liked the lighting) I just was not wowed, and I wanted to be.. I always want to bow down to the chefs whose kitchen probably is 10 times the size of my house and tell them YOU have a technique, a way about you that is beyond me, that which I can not easily replicate. Bravo,or Brava!! Starting with a good, but not amazing Pisco sour for 15. ( what IS it with the price of drinks of late? Has everything turned into a fashion item? I really DON'T need a set of Mule cups at 16. each and If I did I'd buy them. Can't you just serve it to me in an uninteresting glass priced reasonably and I promise I won't steal it? We moved to a table and ordered appetizers the best of which was the jalapeno corn bread with house made butter and jam. VERY good, four for 6. Nice dense rolls, not too spicy One satisfied and was reasonable at 1.50 The mac and cheese with bacon was 10. Not nearly as good as Rok Burger's. (okay, just my opinion, I know) Caesar salad, w/ biiig bacon chunk on top, was the size of a ... small apple fritter..., tiny, tasty but priced at 17.? Give me a break! Christys, it aint. I struggled with 2 or 3 stars.. and finally decided on three because there's no denying the quality of the food was there...and the service,if a biiit slowish was not a problem... gave us extra time to dine; shmooze, My burger, as it was explained to me, could not be prepared rare because it had pork as an ingredient..but I was told it was juicy,( it wasn't), and voted best by New Times, (I dunno why.) Again, try Rok Burger or Butcher Shop. I was, In all fairness, told that if I didn't like it ,( too well done) ,to let the server know. I didn't say anything though I thought about it.... It wasn't baad..., just nibbled away wishing it were more rare and juicy, less dense, ...and at 17.....(sigh). The french fries, served with it may just have been the best I've ever eaten, NOT dragged through the Utah Salt Flats on the way to the table, coated with something delicious and of course MORE bacon Yet... they are a whopping 8. served a la cart.e You heard me, 8. for fries! Pork shoulder chunk..very tender, well smoked, really very good (28.) but it's pork damn it, , NOT Berns .and ALL sides are a la carte. The brisket sandwich, very good, though not anywhere sized like a NY deli sandwich,( Katz, Carnagie, even our own Roasters and Toasters) served with two pieces of..... white bread?? Worth 28. "I" didn't think so. For the record, I don't think Katz' sammaches are worth 18.75 either, delicious and enormous though they may be. For the same record;I also know that 'worth' is determined by what someone is willing to pay... Deviled eggs.small , like quail eggs, quite tasty but no different than any well prepared deviled egg ( 10.)...and The 1/2 rack of ribs, tasty, yes but 26. for a HALF rack? That's 52 for one rack!!! PS. Try Flanagans , trust me on this one...or Long Horn. Last but not least then I'll get off the soapbox, ....promise.... their famous "Stick Icky Bun" that puts a Cinnabon to shame, really luscious, tres yummy.( and sprinkled with guess what? RIGHT, bacon! ....but a frickin' 10 bucks ..for a smallish sweet roll??? ::cough cough:: Knauss Berry Farms... I really don't mind spending money on good food, creative fare, possibly I may even enjoy good friends and company even more than the fare sometimes... (remember, I'm an excellent cook).....I just like to feel that there's still good value out there for my bucks.. No more, no less. ....and preferably not leave suffering from BACON COMA ;-)0

    A SPECIAL PLACE We had a late lunch here & I had one of the best BLT's I've ever had. I asked for it on grilled bread (instead of a bun - a BLT belongs on bread, I think) and it had plenty of BBQ pork in it; it came with a nice house salad. My wife had the "Meat & Three" with ribs. They were excellent, as was her mac & cheese. The meals were so large that we brought home 1/2 to have for dinner. Yum. Food - 5 STARS Ambiance/Decor - 5 STARS Service - 4 STARS Location - 4 STARS Value - 4 STARS

    Nothing beats Southern Comfort food like Swine's Mac n Cheese. I needed a stiff cocktail and a warm meal so I made my way down Ponce to this gem and sat upstairs. The WildFlower cocktail with fresh strawberries & watermelon juice was yummy...tiny but yummy. Shortly after when the Wings arrived, I went with beer. I was impressed with the wings. They were much meatier than the usual Wing spot & I like how they Brine, Smoke, then Grill them which adds tons of variety and flavor. Ordering the Fried Green Tomatoes really made the perfect accompaniment to the Southern inspired dining experience. I wish they would've had a bigger portion but it was the lack of sauce that irked me. They needed a lemony sorta sauce to really complement it. What made them lose a star is for ditching the Oreos and Milk desert. How could they replace it with Oatmeal Raisin? On top of the fact that my drink was more ice than anything topped it off. I wish they had a more extensive Beer list because those Wings needed a juicy sidekick. I still ordered a Sam Adams and called it a day. Next time I'll try the Brussels sprouts and Pisco.

    This place is fabulous- from the decor to the service to the food. We went for the Miami Spice menu- i had the caeser salad with pieces of pork that melt in your mouth. Then the pulled pork sandwich which was indescribably delicious. And for dessert whole milk with grated vanilla bean and honey jack daniels and chocolate chip cookies. I don't like milk or jack daniels and it was wonderful! A definite go to!

    It's been over a year since I've been to Swine & was excited to have brunch with my girl friends. The wait was about an hour long but that's what we get for not making reservations on a Sunday at 12pm. By 1pm a lot of the menu items had run out which was infuriating but nothing we could do. No biscuits, no corn bread, no vanilla ice cream. The options were limited. I had my usual brisket hash and a side of scrambled eggs. The brisket was very tasty minus the blob of fat that was not removed. I washed it down with a spicy watermelon drink that is to die for unfortunately I can never remember the name. My girl friend had the brisket and eggs with a side of Mac and Cheese. The brisket was a bit fatty and the Mac and Cheese needed salt. The French fries were on point tho. It was honestly my favorite thing this time around. For dessert we had the sticky bun which I'm not a fan of. They ran out of ice cream so they gave us a measly scoop of chocolate. It didn't go with the sticky bun at all. Now the service, the reason why my review received such little stars. The guy was whack! Who pays for unlimited mimosas and only gets 2?! Apparently my GFs b/c the server never came around and we had to constantly remind him only for him to forget. He definitely loss Swine major kudo points. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. Wasn't wowed like in the past.

    I like the smell and the decor. I tried the ribs and they where good, specially in Miami that is difficult t find good ribs. All the other ones tried the short rib burger and it was also very good. The ice tea is very good, the bourbon selection and the cava are amazing. I went on a Miami spice lunch and the service and the food was very good. My 2 cents are that is a great place, specially to hang out with friends, but it is expensive for the type of food they do.

  • Divine A.

    My husband and I tried this place for the coral gables restaurant week. Drove far for this place and I think it's worth it. We came in and was greeted by the hostess and confirm our reservation. The ambiance and decoration shows the southern style of the restuarant. Although they had a small place they have 2 floors to accommodate big crowds. Menu was mainly southern cooking but everything seems delicious but we tried their menu for the restaurant week. Their menu during restaurant week was good deal. For 35$ you get 1 appetizer, 1 entrée and 1 dessert. My husband and I tried 1 of each in the menu. For appetizers we ordered fried tomatoes and Thier wings. And for the entrée we both has the pork shoulders since they ran out of ribs, and for dessert we had some apple fritters and ice cream. Everything was very tasty. But just hoped we had some of their ribs. We will definitely come back and try thier ribs.

  • Ron L.

    Very nice, upscale BBQ. I had the burnt ends and fried green tomatoes and they were delicious! The burnt ends were as tender as could be, served in a terrine with just a bit of BBQ sauce and a white roux-type gravy. The fried green tomatoes were done perfectly in coarse cornmeal. By my standards, they could have had just a bit more salt, but otherwise cooked to perfection and very tasty. My wife had the burger and she wasn't as happy. The burger is basically two patties on a bun topped with a slab of bacon. According to her, good but nothing to write home about. I have to comment on our server, Michelle. Her service was absolutely first rate. She was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and showed us just the right amount of attention. If service were a separate category for scoring, she'd get 5-stars! Next time I'm going to try the ribs. They looked meaty and delicious. If the burnt ends were any indication, Swine knows how to cook pork!

  • Candace T.

    Ever thought to make "Cornbread Foam"?!? Yeah.. Me either! Try those burnt steak tips and you'll be craving cornbread foam and trying to figure out how to make it at home. Pretty much all the food here is great.. You can start with cornbread and a nice kale salad.. the burnt ends plate.. brussell sprouts.. I never order chicken at restaurants but even their chicken is amazing. Every bbq entree is amazing here; the brisket is a fav. Ohh, and make sure to end your meal with a nice dessert.. I recommend the sticky bun!! What I don't like here? The drinks (I would rate it 5-Stars if they had a drink I like, but sadly I always go thirsty). Seriously, what restaurant doesn't have a few good vodka options on the menu? I've tried several of their drinks and am not a fan.. my husband however, loooves their drink menu!! The Swine Old Fashioned in particular. Be prepare to wait.. even with a reservation you can be waiting a while to be seated.. and then you'll wait again at your table.. Not the best service because I think they just need more waiters, but you're there to enjoy yourself, so relax, don't go when you're rushed.. I'd probably enjoy the wait more if I could have a good drink. Oh.. There is one food item here I don't like.. I think the crispy pork is a huge let down.. Pork is my favorite good group; it's good with everything and pretty hard to mess up, but in my opinion their crispy pork is horrible. It's basically just pork that's been reheated so much that it's dehydrated and chewy.. it wasn't crispy and it was practically inedible (I wouldn't even give it to my dog) and I won't order it again to even find out if it was a one-time mishap... but I'll definitely still be back to Swine for the rest of their food! Enjoy the food and make sure to go with good company, not only because you need a way to fill your waiting time, but also so you can try more delicious food than just what you ordered!

    Came here for the first time last night with a few friends and we ate like kings. The food was insane. I highly recommend the burnt ends appetizer which I could have eaten forever, and definitely the jalapeño cornbread. Everything we had was delish, but you MUST get the ribs. The service was also great, and our waiter was fantastic. This restaurant experience is definitely in my top 5 for Miami, and I already can't wait to find a reason to go back. I took no pictures of the food because it was gone before we even thought to document.

    MAC AND CHEESE!!!! Oh the Mac and cheese is to die for! Swine is definitely one of the best restaurants in Coral Gables. Everything I've had has been delicious, including their drinks! We don't go often because the food is very very very heavy but it's definitely a nice addition to the area when you are in the mood for pork! They used to have a delicious pork shoulder that came in a soup of beans, but they took it off the menu (tear, tear!). That was my favorite dish. Whatever you order, though, make sure you get with the Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese. You will not be disappointed! Oh, and if you have a sweet tooth, order dessert! The cookies and milk is my favorite!

  • Kelly N.

    The food is always delicious here. Great place if you're looking for southern comfort bbq food. This time around a got a hamburger. Lots of flavor and definitely delicious if you're looking for a big burger. It's heavy, so make sure you aren't planning to do any physical activity afterwards. I also had a side of Mac and cheese. It has the right consistency of creamy and cheesy, with small bacon bits to compliment. This is always a staple a item to get. The portion is small, so don't share with more then one person. That's if you even have to share. To end the meal, I went with the sinner sundae. Not my favorite and I wouldn't get it again. The flavor was overpowered with butterscotch and the cookie/brownie was way too hard. The worst part... We were given forks to eat the dessert with. I definitely do not recommend to eat ice cream with a fork unless you want a soup at the bottom of your plate. This place is always my favorite to come to in the Gables, so I will be back.

Nice place to go share some goodies with friends...

    I showed up at 8:30 and was told it'd be half an hour - we got seated at 9:40. Already not the greatest start. It was a Thursday and their excuse was that the party had paid but was still seated...okay, but I'm hungry? It's your basic rustic hipster place, which I'm a fan of! Except...it's not worth it. It's beautiful, cozy, and the food honestly wasn't bad. But $18 for FOUR pieces of burnt ends... No. They were yummy but they didn't melt in my mouth or have me drooling. The Mac n cheese had bacon in it (obvs it's Swine) but I barely tasted them, it was overall bland. My drink was perfect though - I had the Homestead. Even though for $14 it was also pretty overpriced. I ended up paying $50 with tip for one drink, four pieces of burnt ends and a bowl of Mac n cheese. I left saying I wouldn't be back unless my boyfriend wanted to (so he could pay haha)! But then I heard brunch is a completely different experience - so I'll update when I check that out...I can't resist brunch.

    Immediately as I walked in I was very impressed by the decor. The restaurant was setup very nicely. I didn't feel crowded when seated, which is often a problem at many of the more popular establishments. The waiter was very personable and attentive. The burger was good but not as good as others I have tried. The mac and cheese and french fries were amazing. They also had a great selection of craft beers. Overall I had a great time. I have heard the pulled pork sandwich is amazing so I will be back to give it a try.

    Yo, go here! If that's the only line you read from this review, read it and do it; go here. Yes, I had this bookmarked for months and would drool every time someone checked in or posted a photo. I adore their other locations I have had the pleasure of checking out, Yardbird and Khong so I knew this spot wouldn't disappoint with their focus of whiskey and some classic Southern cooking. It was a weekday evening but we still made a reservation a few hours out so we were seated immediately upon arrival. The decor is very farmhouse, rustic - if you have been to Prato in Orlando, very similar feel - and it's very comfortable and welcoming. We were seated upstairs with a view of the community table below. Great people watching. The service was good, appreciated that the manager stopped by to check in, that is always a nice touch, especially since they aren't brand new. For a cocktail, I had "They Call Me Mr. Bitterness" - Campari, Aperol, lemon juice, egg white and grapefruit bitters. It was heavenly and went down way too easy. We started with an appetizer and salad but let me get to the GOODS!! The Burger: Short rib, brisket and smoked pork blend, organic American cheese homemade dill pickle, lettuce, tomato, thick-cut house-smoked bacon Swine special sauce. - one of the very best burgers I have had in my lifetime. So juicy, flavorful, and memorable in every way. I can't stop thinking about it. I NEED ANOTHER. (or 5) Just when I think the pinnacle had been achieved for the evening, enter: their featured shake. The Swine Shake and it was salted, filled with carmel and I am pretty sure unicorn dust. It was perfection. I am so excited to return, I can't even contain myself. So happy it lived up to my expectations. Hats off to this restaurant group and this specific concept. Delicious and memorable!

    This is my new favorite restaurant in Coral Gables. It might be the sweet smell of mesquite (or whatever wood they use) burning, the great selection or bourbon/scotch/whiskey, or that it is a BBQ restaurant that has burnt ends. And that is exactly what I ordered to start my dinner at the bar. The bar keep was attentive and helped me to choose the swine burger as my entree, and even though it looked small it definitely filled me up with happy goodness. Next time I must try the brisket and/or ribs.

  • Sean B.

    Probably the best BBQ I have tried in Miami, the Beef Brisket was made to perfection and the side of Mac n Cheese and Roasted Potatoes are to die for. The food is almost perfect and made my girlfriend BDay perfect! Also as there drinks go, the Old Fashion is the way to go. If your a beer Drinker I would go with the Miami Vice IPA

    Items Ordered: Biscuits with maple butter and blackberry preserves Jalapeno, Cheddar, Bacon Cornbread with maple butter and blackberry preserves Macaroni and Cheese -'pig tail' macaroni, bacon, five cheeses, toasted bread crumbs Pulled Pork n' Poached Eggs with smoked pork, Adluh South Carolina stone ground grits Country Fried Bacon and Waffles with thick cut house smoked bacon, Cheddar cheese waffle, chilled spiced watermelon, honey hot sauce, bourbon maple syrup Blueberry Pancakes with fresh whipped cream, bourbon maple syrup Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie Warm Sticky Icky Bun with Maple Bourbon Toffee Syrup, Pecan Butter Candied Bacon Brittle and Vanilla Ice Cream Owned by 50 Eggs, the group behind South Beach hotspot Yardbird, Swine puts a smokehouse spin on the "Southern Table & Bar" and with a brunch menu running the gamut from pancakes to pulled pork the only real question during the 10am meal was "how hungry are you?" Undoubtedly a carefully curated spot, with plenty of wood and whimsy plus a high ceiling design allowing for an upstairs loft, our arrival at Swine was met with warm welcomes and quickly seated in cozy booth by the woman who would be our server it was not long before questions were answered and an eight-part order unfurled - a quartet of cornbread and three flaky biscuits with house-blended maple butter and blackberry preserves soon sending a warning that Swine doesn't skimp on quantity or quality - the toothsome muffins particularly impressive with smoke and spice prominent amidst a background only slightly sweet. Moving on to entrees, alongside a smoldering bowl of pork-imbued Mac, it was with eyes focused on things both sweet and savory that brunch progressed and although fluffy blueberry pancakes were quite delicious under a sheen of boozed up maple syrup they simply could not hold a candle to the quality of swine-centric specialties including acid-splashed pulled pork over creamy stoneground grits or audacious inch-thick strips of bacon taken to the deepfryer before nuzzling up to crunchy waffles drizzled in Tobasco, the later an absolute treat when taken with fresh watermelon and a drizzle of maple to help temper the heat. Sated but not stuffed it was somewhat disappointing to discover that much of Swine's dessert menu is only offered at supper but making do with what was available the results were pleasant enough, the $10 slice of pie a bit overpriced albeit delicious and quite rich while the signature "sticky-icky" bun was all sorts of sinful with melting butter dripping from golden curls as caramelized bacon brittle dazzled beneath slowly melting ice cream - vanilla as the menu-designated sweet potato was as yet also unready,

    Wow, the best fried green tomatoes! The brisket was alright and the dessert was ice cream with a brownie at the bottom. I don't remember what it was called, which says it all.

    Swine is in downtown Coral Gables. Now, we were happy to have made reservations a couple days in advance because this place was pretty much "seatless" at 7 pm on Saturday night. Before we entered we could smell that wood crackling on fire. It's a welcomed smell, especially in Miami. The hostess was very nice and seated us promptly. Overlooking the menu the first thing you notice is that you're going to spend a pretty penny for this meal. I happen to work in medicine where overtime is an option and I'll be picking up an extra shift this month. We ordered our drinks (nice options on whiskey/scotch). Then we hooked up Fried Green Tomatoes for an app. Excellent! For meals, the Swine Burger, Bacon Caesar Salad, and a full rack of ribs with Mac and Cheese. Nothing really disappointed. The food is rich as expected. My wife has been around this rodeo before and unbuttoned her jeans to make extra room. Even the owner dropped by and thanked us for coming. That was a nice gesture and should be done more often in my opinion. Even with all that said, something is keeping me from giving it 5 Stars. Not sure what it is but I guess there's always room for some improvement. In the end, great food, great drinks, great company in a special town like Coral Gables always lends itself to a memorable night. It's all one could really ask for in life.

    Delicious! Good service, lunch menu has large portions, loved the corn bread. The only thing I wasn't too impressed with was the salad. Parking is also a challenge if you don't like walking!

  • Nicky B.

    Can you give a place less stars? Went with a group of friends, very excited to try both the drinks and the brunch... What a disappointment. Space is attractive although super noisy, even at noon on a Sunday. Staff young and inexperienced. Drinks were overpowering and unbalanced. We had to send back bloody Mary's! Food was either bland or over salty and greasy. A lot of hype for less than mediocre food, friendly but inept service and feeling like you need to take a shower when you get home from all the grease and salt! Don't bother!

  • Julissa G.

    I've been here quite a few times over the past year and I have really enjoyed each meal. If you are a pork lover this is the place for you. If you think that you do not like pork, well then this place will change your mind. The brisket is amazing, and so are the burnt ends appetizer. The ribs are also delicious. Brunch is just as good! I highly recommend the quiche if you want to eat something "lighter" but the pulled pork and eggs is my favorite. Service is always top notch, I've never had any issues. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because I am not a huge fan of their drinks and they don't let you switch from bloody mary's to mimosas for their bottomless brunch. I love bloody mary's but was not a fan of Swines. Besides that I will gladly return.. again.. and again!

    2-DAY CRAWL OF THE TOP-RATED BBQ restaurants in Miami/Fort Lauderdale. We're both huge BBQ fans, and we'll versed on the subject. These reviews are only for the meat. We did not heavily weigh the sides or prices, since they were all acceptable. Sparky's Roadside BBQ, Miami - My nephew's favorite of the group. Small-town diner ambiance, delicious, smokey, authentic, moist BBQ, no sauce needed, generous portions, diner-style service. Swine Southern Table & Bar, Coral Gables - elegant BBQ? A quirky combination of trendy style and dressed up cuisine, soft but bland meat helped by creative sauces, chef instead of pit master, professional staff. We both enjoyed the restaurant, but couldn't rave about the BBQ. Most expensive of the group. Blue Willy's BBQ, Pompano Beach - Food truck graduated to extremely authentic BBQ restaurant, smokey, casual dining room with long tables, samples while waiting in line, good BBQ, but both ribs and brisket need the help of sauce for moisture and flavor. Park at Midas across the street. Father & Sons Smoke Til U Choke BBQ, Fort Lauderdale - Next to the Swap Shop, picnic tables on the porch, smokers out back, nice aroma, sadly, dry chicken and ribs which could not be rescued by their strange sauce. The only one we would not recommend. We ate dinner here and theorized that the meat had been cooked early in the day and dried out in the smoker. Pride & Joy BBQ, Wynwood - My favorite of the group. Clever interpretation of rustic BBQ joint with lots of picnic tables out back, friendly albeit casual service, big and open late, delicious, moist BBQ, no sauce needed, but good sauces if you're so inclined, good sides, nice aroma for blocks.

    Good nouveau Southern food in Miami. If you like pork, you should try swine. The corn bread and green fried tomatoes are delicious. The pork shoulder and ribs are very tender and full of sweet flavors. Good staff and good service.

  • Carlos I.

    I have been here 3 times now and cannot get enough of that MAC n CHEESE!! Everything on the menu is great! but the mac n cheese..... to die for!! I had a swine burger there for lunch once and honestly it is the only other burger I have liked since trying the Mustang Sally from Burgers n Beer and that is saying alot! I compare every burger to that one and by far this is the only worthy opponent! The spare ribs are delicious too, they have a great flavor to them with the dry rub and some sort of vinegar like sauce they use which gives them a tangy flavor.. awesomeness! Will be going back soon!

  • Fatty Cakes - Luisy P.

    The intoxicating aroma from the smoker greets you at the door and makes deciding on one dish nearly impossible... Finally, we decided on the Pork shoulder, the Brisket and a side of Mac N Cheese (Both were from the 12 hour smoker). I found the Brisket quite lean and therfore a bit on the dry side; While the Pork Shoulder was absolutely magnificent and drool worthy. The pork was tender, juicy, flavorful and fell apart effortlessly. Both dishes paired seamlessly with the smoky bacony flavor of the Mac N Cheese (probably the Best I have ever had). Portions were filling although I found SWINE to be on a pricey side, even for BBQ.

    Beautifully decorated with wooden walls, dark leather booths and amber table lanthers Swine stands about a half a block away from Miracle Mile. If you are into pork (which most of us are) this is the place for you, almost every item on the menu has some element of pork whether it is bacon or a delicious brisket cooked for 14 hours. The appetizers are really good, we ordered the octopus served with the peanut hummus and it was delicious, having said that for a plate worth $16 I think it should have been just a little bigger. This is however a high-end restaurant with comfort food and a casual atmosphere and like every "fancy" restaurant, some of the portions are on the small/pricey side while we are used to being served soul and comfort food in abundant quantities... Having said that, the ingredients are of the best quality! We also had the deviled eggs ($10) which were also small but truly tasty and beautifully presented. For the main course we had the 14 hr cooked brisket and the taste was out of this world!! The plate was $28 it had 3 slices of brisket but the sides were quite simple, pickled vegetables and white bread so we ordered sides separately, the Mac and cheese was to die for and it was abundant ($10), we also ordered the corn bread which had 4 portions and was filled with cheese and bacon ($10) also served with butter and marmalade. The service was impeccable, everyone from the busboy, to our waiter to Julio the General Manager everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive. The menu is pricey but the place is excellent!

  • Lazaro S.

    Obviously everything you get here has to have pork. It will likely be some of the best pork you've had. Pulled Pork Hash, Mac n' Cheese with Bacon the list goes on and on, I eventually would like to try every item on the menu. Staff was spot on, I felt like they where there for me and my wife only. Outstanding Food, drinks, ambiance and desserts! I can not wait until we visit again!

    Went to celebrate anniversary with my family for Brunch in Feb/15. Had to wait 35 +min. for my reservation but they were very polite and the manager provided delicious cheesy savory southern cornbread to tame our hunger ; ) specially with younger kids. The ambiance is great- modern rustic with smoky scents off swine Grilling. They sat us upstairs, table a little uncomfortable for 7 since there is not to much space but it was fun and cool to look over balcony at the space. They have a second bar upstairs, not sure how they have enough coking space to deliver food but it was pretty tasty and delicious.Waitress was very nice and food runner very funny and not stuffy. I Consider it a little overpriced but portions were decent. I guess they have to makeup for paying high rent in CGables/ location and not having a huge space to play with. Will recommend!

  • Walter H.

    One of my Favorites! I've been to swine a few times now, and have been wowed every time! Most recently, I had some family in town, so we went to try Swine's brunch. I was all set to order something when the waiter told me they had a very unique special, which was a pig tail omelette! I love trying unique things, and the pig tail omelette was off the chain! The tails were slow cooked over a very long period until they fell apart, so you wouldn't know the meat was a pigs tail if no one told you. The spices were so well balanced and interesting, I licked the plate clean! The chefs at Swine are very talented, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the owner maintains a presence always happy to meet new guests. If you had one day to eat in the Gables, this is the place to try!

    During a business lunch on a Tuesday, I ordered the famous Swine Burger (received numerous awards) and I would definitely compare it to a Quarter Pounder from McD's... The difference is that this one costs $17 bucks and its the same from the McD's dollar menu! French fries were raw and it took 3 times to ask for ketchup and mayo. The third time I walked downstairs and asked the hostess. Very nice young lady. I did end up ordering the Sweet Bun dessert(similar to cinnamon roll) and it was as close to perfection. Service was not the best. Sat upstairs and and did not get attention at all. First visit and not sure if I would give it another try.

    Went for a friends bday brunch , been meaning to try this place for a while. The positives ;:: had the steak and egg brisket, which was absolutely delicious, also had the chocolate Nutella waffles , perfect balance of chocolate and sweetness The negatives :: the 20$ unlimited mimosas. 95% orange juice, was terrible I would just recommend getting another drink that's not the mimosa

  • Claudia R.

    I was starving and desperate so we went somewhere close to home. I wasn't expecting to love this place so much! Not just the food, but the decor is amazing. I ordered the ribs, with Mac & Cheese. Sooooooo delicious. It is a little pricey but then again, you're in miracle mile and it's true when they say you get what you pay for.

  • Joe A.

    Okay, I said this about Yardbird too, but thank the good Lord this place is not within walking distance of me. Obviously, anything you get here has to have pork in it and I will say, it will likely be some of the best pork you've had. Pulled Pork Hash, Mac n' Cheese with Bacon, and of course, the Icky Sticky Bun with all kinds of maple, bacon, and probably magic? I don't know, but go here, bring an appetite, and order everything on the menu. You won't want to do anything the rest of the day, but who cares ... PORK.

  • Rachael H.

    I take back what I said. I take it all back. I have converted to a Swine lover. Ship me off to the Swine convent. I'm forever a fan. We started off with the cornbread (which was awesome), burnt ends (again.....freaking phenomenal), hush puppies (superb...I'm just going to keep using words all the synonyms ), and the mac & cheese ( we probably could have eaten....the entire pot of this stuff ), and the pork shoulder....oh the pork shoulder. So juicy. So tender. So everything I wanted it to be. The drinks were good and strong. We had old fashioned and some girly drink there. Order the old fashioned. You won't regret it. Thank me later. Now....desserts. Desserts is where it's at. We had the Swine shake, which has bacon bits (the real stuff) on top with house made cracker jack, the key lime pie (do they serve this in heaven? cause it sure felt angelic), the cookies and milk which comes with bourbon spiked milk. Yes, bourbon spiked milk. I literally drank just that for the end of my meal. We then had the sticky icky bun (yes, we still had space) which you ALREADY know is AMAZING, DELICIOUS, PHENOMENAL, OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD. Last dessert served was the triple chocolate bread pudding with housemade coffee ice cream and smoked fruits. How I so badly wanted to eat all of it, and lick the plate. That combo was just great. I'm not sure if I was left speechless because I was so full or if it was that good, but I'll go with the latter. Just go....go now. and order one...of everything. Except the Mac & Cheese. Order 5 of those.

    My wife and I have been dying to try Swine since it opened. So we decided to celebrate our 17th Anniversary here and what a great idea that ended up being. We were not let down at all. From the moment we arrived we were treated as if we were family. Our server Nate was extremely knowledgable and his recommendations were spot on. We started with the Burnt ends and corn bread OMFG!! Delicious, our drinks, the ambiance, everything was just great! We met the General Manager Julio and he made us feel right at home here. Great night all together and I can't wait to come back.

  • Krystal O.

    I came here several months ago for brunch and it was a good experience. My friend and I shared the quiche and the pastry basket and had mimosas. Everything was delicious and the pastry basket had a good variety of baked goods - most notable item was the grilled lemon pound cake - it has been months since I had it and I still can't get it off my mind - this thing was so legit we wished we would have saved it for last.

  • Dany C.

    Food is good. Really tiny portion for the Brisket though. Most of the items are over seasoned and overpower the chicken/pork but sometimes depends whose cooking makes it great.

  • Keith P.

    Pigs better learn how to run, tuck, hide, and fly because if everyone knew how to prepare pork as delicious as Swine, the whole pig population may be in trouble! The place definitely exceeds its reputation, and every dollar you spend here is worth it. I have never tasted pork that tasted so SO delicious! I came here for brunch on Memorial Day with my brother and his girlfriend, and each dish on their menu is completely thought out, and each ingredient adds something special to the meal. Everything is different, and you can tell that each ingredient was put into consideration when putting together these dishes. For my first visit here, my brother, his girlfriend, and I ordered the following dishes: Pulled pork n' eggs- egg, smoked and pulled pork, ground grits - The pulled pork is tender. The ground grits are well-seasoned. Anything with egg yolk is a 5 star dish. Morning quiche- pork belly, gruyeres, caramerlized onions in a flaky crust - The quiche can be a bit dry and tastes mostly like egg (because it is mostly egg), but the gruyere on the top mingles with your taste buds to create heaven in your mouth. The crust is flaky and has a texture that is to die for. Swine Burger- short rib, brisket, pork blend, American cheese, bacon, Swine special sauce - Five star burger! Imagine the best burger you have ever tried, and it is way better than that. All meat in the burger is tender. The special sauce is savory. Dessert- Warm Sticky Icky Bun- pecan butter, maple syrup, candied bacon, bun, sweet potato ice cream - Desserts like this deserve to be treated like fine pieces of art. When you examine art you try to figure out why the artist did certain things, and this bun does that to you. Each ingredient listed stands out on its own and adds something special to the masterpiece. It is the type of dessert that leaves you coming back for more. It also isn't too heavy, so don't worry about the calories. If you try just one thing from this menu, I highly recommend this bun because it might be unlike anything you ever tried. I highly recommend anyone who is a fan of bacon, pork, or any pig by-product to try swine. They serve some of the most delicious pork I have ever tried! They are seriously that good! Also, the service is phenomenal. Our waiter happily answered all our questions and treated us like kings. Five stars for another addition to the 50 Eggs family!

    I made reservations on a Friday night for fiancé's birthday for a group of 9. Got there about an hour early to sit at the bar, have some drinks and wait for the rest of our family and friends. 9:30PM came and went and our table was not ready. We did not get seated for an hour after our reservations. We were comped some corn bread and an appetizer which at that point could have been a piece of poop, and it would have tasted amazing considering how hungry we all were. After all was said and done, some of our appetizers that we ordered arrived at the table AFTER we were done with the main courses. Really? Need I say more? Over rated, over priced and just not worth it. Unless of course, you are there for the scene. If you are looking for trendy, this is the place for BBQ and $15.00 drinks. If you want great service and real southern food, not so much. Maybe the brunch is as amazing as I've been told it is... but, I doubt I'll ever go back to find out. Swine you let me down!

    The restaurant is attractive with tall ceilings, industrial looking space with exposed brick and lots of rough-hewn wood. The bar is crowded and loud which unfortunately makes the restaurant very loud as well. The menu is fun with flowery explanations for every item. A down side is that everything is a la carte. It is disappointing that they don't even bring bread to the table without a charge. Main courses we ordered: DRY-RUBBED & SMOKED MEMPHIS-STYLE SPARE RIBS - very large portion and the flavor was good but it wasn't tender at all. I really needed to work at the bone to get some meat... Not sure if it was over-cooked or under-cooked but I expect ribs to be tender and don't want to have to work so hard. Would have been nice to have some extra BBQ sauce on the side. BRISKET - Brisket's flavor was good, but it was dry. The plate was seriously lacking - Two dry pieces of brisket, some au jus (which tasted burnt) some pickled vegetables and two dry toast points (not a good presentation or quantity especially for the price). PORK SHOULDER - large portion, good flavor, but very fatty. Side dishes we ordered: HOMEMADE CORNBREAD - Corn muffins were good (a little dry) and came with butter & jam. Unfortunately these should be something that is served complementary to the table not as a side of $9! CHEESE GRITS - I LOVE grits and these were not my favorite. These had tons of cheese (which was good) but this was covering up the dry lumpy grits underneath. It seemed like they were dished up earlier and reheated before they came to the table CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS - Roasted Brussels sprouts with sun chokes & green apples - these were delicious and cooked to perfection. Overall - Swine unfortunately has room for improvement . From reading the other reviews (fatty brisket vs dry brisket) seems that consistency is one thing they need to work on. Also if they just make some simple changes, like having the corn bread be the complementary bread basket for the table, it would go a long way towards customers feeling like the restaurant is a-la-carteing then for every penny.

    Just to correct myself. I came back and had a full course dinner with a friend couple a let me tell you: This food is simply outstanding. Unforgettable. You can add any adjective here! Specifically: * the pork Caesar salad. Oh my god. * the brisket. Oh my god. * the pork loin. Oh my F god!!! And by the way: ask for ally to be your waitress. Ally!!! The waitress!!!! Wonderful advice! People: Come and have a dinner here. For a pork lover, this is heaven.

    Had dinner here yesterday. The service was good but the food, quality and quantity, left a lot to be desired. I had the Grilled Pork Cheeks starter and the 14 hr Smoked Brisket as a main course. The Pork Cheeks needed a magnifying glasses to see them and the bed of mashed something (potatoes) was very dry, same as the Brisket. Maybe they needed less than 14 hrs to smoke the brisket to keep it moist and not dry it out so much. My wife had the Forger's Plate, which was something covered by lots of grilled cheese. We also ordered the Smoked Squash Casserole, which tasted exactly the same as the Forger's plate. Maybe because it was covered by the same cheese!! Our guests tried the Duck which they thought it tasted more like chicken. The wine list was below average and expensive. The service was good and friendly. For the money, I would go elsewhere.

    This little piggy went to MY BELLY!!! My fab loudgirls took me on my first outing since my recent surgery this past Sunday and I just cannot tell you how incredibly amazing this brunch was. Swine you say, is a stout-bodied short-legged omnivorous animal that is dear to all of our bellies and let me clarify something- this place is NOT for you vegans out there so keep your distance- you have been warned. Entrance: Greeted with nothing but smiles, and being that I had an assistive walking device with me they immediately sat us as close to the entrance as possible. As we walked to our table we received a short sweet harmonica serenade by a very charming character aka Alex the bartender who made me feel at ease right away. Let's just say, with that- Swine had already scored major golden brownie points in this foodie's book. Ambiance: love the wood, its rustic, simple, non-pretentious. Like a restaurant should be: a little get away from your daily routine. Service: Our knowledgeable server- Jill could tell right away that this table of nurses was seeking refreshing alcohol tinged beverages along with a hunger for all things bacon. This lead us to the following salivating, worth every damm calorie meal... Food: Cornbread- don't even second guess it, just get it! BLT Benedict- oozing goodness of warm hollandaise and fresh organic yolks mixed with pieces of bacon and biscuit...wow! Morning Quiche- perfect size, little pieces of pork belly mixed peeking through airy eggs, with gruyere and a super flaky crust...just enough to get you going! Today's Omelet- smoked pulled pork shinning in the middle of bright yellow bed of fresh eggs with a side of delightful fruit...hits the spot! Chicken Fried Bacon and Waffles- please read the first 3 words of this sentence...yes indeed- pieces of chicken wrapped in fried bacon inside crusty brown goodness, carefully placed in between warm waffles, decorated with refreshing spicy watermelon and pieces of pecans. Oh and lets not forget the bourbon maple syrup--I died and went to heaven, and on my way up I whispered: oink oink oink.. ha! Warm Sticky Icky Bun- piece de resistance!!! Yes the bun is good but the added toppings could stand all on their own...Sweet potato pie ice cream, candied crispy smoked bacon, and maple bourbon toffee syrup...so dang dang delicious!!! After this ridiculously long review, I thank you for taking the time to read it and salivate with me as I type these final words in hope that you too can experience this place: Indeed the only part of a hog you can't use is his squeal... Yours truly: Swine.

    WOW!!! You know how when you read a menu and certain items sound like perfection, but when you actually taste them, you feel let down? I had the opposite experience here! The food was above and beyond my expectations. Even the condiments were extraordinary. What did they put in their ketchup? It tasted like pickles. Delish!! The service was incredibly friendly. They messed up on my husbands order. He had asked for no cheese, but his food was served with cheese. Our server apologized and then we had a friendly visit from a manager also apologizing. It wasn't necessary, but it was appreciated. Brunch was excellent! I am looking forward for coming back for dinner.

    So glad I finally got to check this place out. I was a fan from the moment I walked in. The smell of smoked hickory throughout the restaurant opened up my appetite and I couldn't wait to see the menu. As a starter, I ordered the fried green tomatoes. Three come per order and they are delicious. What I liked the most was the tomato reduction sauce they were placed on top of. Absolutely superb! For my entree, I ordered the mac and cheese. I know I should've ordered something else since mac and cheese is usually my go to meal if it's on the menu, but I just had to see how it compared to other macs I've had recently, and it definitely made my top 3 list! So creamy, so cheesy and so, so good. The breadcrumbs on top added a nice little crunch to every bite. Then came the moment we all anxiously wait for during dinner - dessert. I ordered the grown up almond joy, which was served with a coconut sorbet. This dessert is creative and delicious and worth going back to Swine for. Aside from the food being delicious, I thought it was cool how the produce is setup in stands outside of the kitchen, and the chefs/cooks come out to grab the produce they need to take back into the kitchen. This created a southern, home cooking feel. The wait staff is extremely friendly here, adding that southern hospitality we all wish existed everywhere.

    Went to Sunday brunch with my husband at Swine and I fell in LOVE with the decor!!! We ended up at Swine because of the high ratings and because we were going to a Marlins game that afternoon, so we were looking for something delicious in the area. Let me start by saying that the reason for 4 stars and not 5 is mainly due to the service. Our server took close to 10 minutes to greet us and it took forever to get some coffee, The food: Jalapeno corn muffins - heaven!! I could have just eaten this with some coffee. I ordered the quiche, which was quite nice and not too heavy. I loved the crust but the interior was a bit cold. Also the filling didn't have much egg and was loaded with a lot of ingredients, which made it hard to properly taste everything. I probably won't order it again though just because it wasn't amazing [and the rest of their menu is very tempting.] My husband ordered the Swine burger which was enormous but amazing. BTW - the fries were some of the best fries ever. Every single one was crispy and seasoned! My husband loved his food and swears we are lifetime customers. I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu and hopefully get a more attentive server.

    If you think back and look at the progress Fourth Florida has made, it's no wonder Swine has laid out a foundation of perfection. When I was a kid, we flocked to Shorty's on US 1, where we were introduced to smoked meats, Shorty's and Shrievers were the epitome of BBQ restaurants. Royal Castle was the place to go for a great breakfast, and Coral Gables most famous restaurant was Sambo's (true), the Vietnam war was ending, and the Beatles had broke up. Since then So. Fla has been introduced to the cocaine wars, money laundering and a restaurant in South Miami called Neon Leon's, where the DEA thrived. Once again So. Fla was transformed. Still restaurant coolnes would best be described as over amniotic frills with mediocre food. Now, South Floridians expect expect a bigger, better and finer, Swine is that and that on steroids too! They have taken smoked meats and blended it with Haute cuisine, the comfort level is clique casual, the talent that walks into Swine is proof alone of that. Ambiance is a mix of South Florida coolness and New Hampshire Barn cozy. The staff, couldn't get any better, everyone I dealt with had people skills, something that lacks in Miami, Swine found them, and my suggestion is keep them. Jake, the manager was proud to show off his restaurant, he new the menu back and forth, and how items were made, between him and our waiter, they made our dining experience that much better. The food, OMG! The ribs are exceptional, I've never had better. The Brisket and Egg's, once again OMG, I've never had better brisket. I have had good brisket, but this is a first in having great brisket in Miami, it was sooooooo good. The Has that they make, once again, was so good. This is a must go to place, an excellent brunch menu, an excellent staff!

    This place is truly DELICIOUS! If I could dine here everyday I honestly would. Every dish and every part of that dish is cooked to perfection. The staff is also super friendly and nice. Conclusion: if you haven't been, go tomorrow and if you have been you already know what I'm talking about ;)

    I loved the decor and ambiance. I sat at the bar and had the burger. I loved it but it was a lot of food for me to eat. Someone across from me ordered the Mac and cheese. It looked amazing. I'll have to try it next time.

    Great Brunch, had the unlimited Mimosas all for a great price $$$. I highly recommend the brisket steak and eggs from the brunch food menu. We also shared the Mac & Chesse which was great for pairing.

    I had a nearly flawless experience at Swine that left me anxiously waiting to return (next time probably for brunch). We had a dinner reservation and were seated right when we arrived. I was excited to sit on the second floor, giving me a perfect view of the floor below to spy on everyone else eating. Our waiter was friendly and eager to recommend drinks, food and answer every question we had. I knew I wanted to try a cocktail so went with the Homeward Bound which was very refreshing. There were only two of us so we had to be extra discerning when trying to figure out what to order. In the end, we decided on the jalapeno cornbread, mac & cheese, ribs and the icky sticky bun to finish. My mind was blown at how quickly everything came out, in total, we barely spent an hour in the restaurant. That being said, if you're looking to have a more drawn out meal, order in waves so that things aren't brought to you all at once. The mac & cheese and ribs were out of this world. The most tender and juicy ribs I might have ever had. And there's no thick sauce on them, making them (semi) date appropriate. The sticky icky bun as dessert was amazing but next time I'd be eager to try one of their cakes. The cornbread would be a pass next time, definitely tasted better the next day when I had leftovers for lunch. Overall, I found the service fast and friendly but most importantly the food was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try the famed shrimp and grits, grilled cheese, brisket and more. Even the bar areas looked like a fun place to hang out. Thank goodness I can walk to this place!

    50 Eggs gives good restaurant. First there was Yardbird, then Khong, and now Swine has proven their restaurant dominance is not just a South Beach thing. Swine has gotta be the hottest restaurant to hit Coral Gables in years! A friend and I headed in for dinner on a recent weeknight, about 2 weeks after Swine opened its doors. We were on time for our 7:15 reservation (sure, it was early, but we took what we could get!), and were immediately led to a table in the back part of the upstairs dining room. Before long our server greeted us and took our drink orders - Homestead Bound (vodka, strawberries, other fruit) and the High Monk (gin, pineapple, bitters, sage). Both were awesome, and probably go down a bit too easy. We opted to share plates, and went with the burnt ends, the diver scallops, cornbread, baked beans, and the spare ribs. Word to the wise - this was way too much food for 2 relatively hungry folks. Everything was awesome, but I gotta give my "best thing I ever ate" vote to the burnt ends. Melt-in-your-mouth, slightly-crispy corners of brisket - there's a reason why burnt ends are the quickest to sell out at most established BBQ joints back in the Midwest! Everything on the menu sounds awesome, so it was definitely hard for us to narrow down our selections. And I'll be honest, by the time the ribs made it to our table, we were pretty stuffed. I'll definitely be saving room for dessert next time, cause that sticky bun looked phenomenal! Prices are on par with the other 50 Eggs' establishments - with a cocktail, expect about $50-60 per person, and expect to leave stuffed! Can't wait to make it back for more delicious pig offerings!

    In elementary school my subject was Computers. Every Tuesday morning we'd pile into class and the ambidextrous Ms. Dias would write our assignments on the board. Finish early and you were rewarded with Oregon Trail on one of the state of the art Apple IIc with its laughable (by today's standards) 128kb of RAM. It's a choose-your-own-adventure game that its developers made while apparently very hungry as it revolves around food. Your objectives are to forage for fruit, pop caps in wild game and stay healthy by eating "Filling meals that are large and generous". These days I'd hope the rations my digital pioneer ate en route from Independence, Missouri to Oregon's Willamette Valley were comparable to Swine Southern Table's...fresh, mostly local, stick-to-your-ribs fare. I could tell you it's decorated like an upscale brothel in a spaghetti western, or how the Southern hospitality is as sweet as their bourbon-spiked tea but really the most important thing is what's for supper -- Roasted Bone Marrow: a theory that circulates among paleoanthropologists, the first meat our pre-human ancestors tasted was scavenged bone marrow. Regardless of the history, I had a hard time convincing my dinner guest to try it, in her words -- "That's a filthy thing to put in your mouth and I went to an all-girls boarding school." Being a woman, and therefore a hopeless carbivore with a bladder the size of a change purse, I decided to play a trick on her. While she powdered her nose, I buttered all the toast with the meat-flavored margarine of the gods. She returned, took a bite and looked at me like I'd just pulled a rabbit out of my pants. "I'm eating bone marrow aren't I? Now I will happily join the ranks of that vegan girl you tricked into trying lamb bacon, and the Rabbi you scammed into eating jambalaya." Ham & Cheese Board: I reckon the wagon that provisions ole Yardbird passed through these here parts cuz they're on the menu there too, albeit as the separate House-made Charcuterie and Pimento Jar. This combo has more variety and substance than its SoBe kissing cousin. Plus it comes with a variety of pickled oddities that made me the think that someone in the kitchen was a student of Portlandia Pickles -- youtube.com/watch?v=yYey… Grilled Peach Salad: After we'd had meat with a side of meat, with a side of booze, my friend was whining about wanting something green. I have a strict no-salad policy at restaurants, especially if it's over $10 but...I owed her for my earlier prank. Undercook pig ears and you're chewing Spam bubble gum, overcook them and it turns into bacon powder in your mouth. Thankfully they we're for no better word...al dente. The only thing I can knock SST for is its similarity to Yardie's (kale salad, shrimp 'n grits) and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Now there's two places I can sample my favorite Southern staples. Speaking of office supplies, I want to take the Pork 'n Beans and staple the included pork chop to my tongue so I don't forget the flavor. If I had a tub of that sauce I'd get down to my socks and have a lady give me a massage with the drippings so it would absorb through my pores. Per usual I over-ordered/drank and my belly and pupils were as wide as pies, which is probably why I had a nocturnal emission that I was back at Swizzle for a hoe down. Wife Beaters 'n Pork Eaters It was a communal table and everyone was dressed in ribbed tank-tops and BluBlockers. We all drank out of individual large format beers while sharing a whole hog. Maybe the Craft Brewas and the Make-A-Wish foundation could help little Rony's dream come true, until then Swine's fine with me.

    I hadn't been to Swine for brunch before, and finally had the chance to earlier today when I was in the Gables with a girlfriend on the hunt for a brunch spot after Eating House turned out to require too long a wait. We arrived and were seated immediately. I didn't need too much time to decide on what to eat since i'd heard so many good things about the Swine burger which I thought was only available for brunch. Since it's Coral Gables restaurant week, our waiter told us about the burger special that came with a mini kale salad and a dessert of mango sorbet and cheesecake. My friend had a tough time deciding between the Pulled Pork N' Eggs and the BLT Benedict because she really wanted cornbread, so we ordered some as an appetizer and she had the pulled pork. The cornbread was amazing, as usual. The kale salad was very refreshing. I tried my friend's dish and it was very flavorful and the portion size is huge. The burger was OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING! The burger was so good in face that I ate the entire thing. The fries it was served with were ok, but I was too busy with the burger to pay them too much mind. The mango sorbet and cheesecake were also good. But, the burger took the cake. If you make it to Swine, HAVE THE BURGER!

    Kinda like a supermodel but that grew up in the South not knowing she was drop dead gorgeous so she still very friendly and approachable....oh and she cooks REALLY well also! That is how I can best describe going to Swine Southern Table & Bar With Decor right out of Dwell magazine and the warmth of a late summer campfire you immediately feel welcomed and at ease That's all good but the food is where this fancy pig joint puts on her lipstick. We started off with the Burnt Ends which is a bad idea because I ended up wanting to eat the Burnt Ends that the table next to us ordered as well. Face ordered the scallops and reverted back to her childhood to describe how much she enjoyed them and her reluctancy to share. Our main course was an incredibly juicy, perfectly-cooked, thick-cut New York Strip (16oz) that was as big as Queens but with much less attitude. The mop sauce that came with it was fantastic and I used it not only to slather my meat but also to dip my fries in it. The Jo-Jo's fries are coutry fried (extra crunchy) which excited me to no end but be warned that the house Spicy Ketchup lives up to it's name. When it came time for dessert, we spied at the table behind, a huge sticky bun with and wondered if it came from one of the local joints such as Knaus Berry Farm but were pleasently surprised to find out that they make EVERYTHING they can in-house. The Sticky Icky Bun was good, just wish it would have came out a bit warmer(Didn't stop me from licking the plate) Service can make the best of foods sour or it can be the difference between a good night out and what we had at Swine. We made reservations at 7 but got there late but were still seated promptly and with a smile. I usually don't like guy waiters because I used to be one but Valentino treated us with just enough attention to keep us happy and not wanting for anything but not hovering. I couldn't help overhear him explaining to an older couple next to us the ins and out of the menu and he was very knowledgeable and bilingual to boot This Southern Belle is sweet to all who come by but she doesn't snuggle up next to you just by whispering in her ear. She expects you to wine and dine her a bit but if you do, you will not be disappointed. Perfect night out for a fancy dinner without having to shave or ask to borrow your granddaddy's suit. Now we gotta go to Yardbird to compare!!

    So the Swine story continues.. I mentioned I closed the door but Kunkel located the window.. He recommended a "re-do" Try again, he promised to.. Introduce me to Rob and Scott. They would insure that this meal would Pop! I was reluctant....and curious.. I contacted my friend and she said, "Let's do this'" Brunch at Swine on Saturday.. Bottomless mimosas always make our day! John, the bartender, recommended a drink.. Sip, sip, - "John is a mixologist!", I think.... No, he's more because he identified our palettes and John suggested kale salad. Then eggs and brisket.... Oh me! Oh my! Did I mention the biscuits?... Best butter in Miami - accompanied by homemade jammy! John's final recommendation... Required discussion regarding the foodie nation and location..location. Shrimp and grits..in Miami... Either it's a hit or a double whammy! We are Southern girls dining at Swine: John assured us that this dish would be sublime! Bingo! Bravo! Kudos to the chef.. The chef won all rounds - no need for a ref. We are glad Kungel extended an invitation; And offered us a chance to revisit this delicate situation.. Robert, Scott and Julio - your hospitality was first rate.. I would return to Swine... With or without a date! A little 601 in the 305.... The flavors of the south have been revived!

    The food was greasy, bland, and unsavory. The greasiness upset my stomach. I had heard good things about the Mac & cheese. That was not all that great either. I had the brisket and my godson the pork shoulder. His food was just as bad as mine. The one good thing was the corn bread. That was excellent. The service was good too, however, I don't think I'll be back.

    Great menu, fine beer selection. Fast service. We said we had to get to a play fairly quickly, and service was super-responsive. BUT: Beware the fat: DC had braised brisket, I had pork shoulder, and we left a third (at least) of each dish on the plate because it was pure fat. Also: Sides are huge. The cornbread was enough for four, the veg for at least two. This is our second time here. We'll try some other offerings next time.

    Relaxed and stylish ambiance with great specialty cocktails and fun and tasty appetizers! Swine is participating in Coral Gables Restaurant week so they're giving more affordable deal options to promote some amazing items. I recommend the Homestead Bound cocktail with the garlic hummus and pepper sauteed squid. Delicious!

    Can't find a better place to eat. Everything from the main dish to the sides, even the onions, ketchup and pickles has been meticulously thought out. I have never left this place dissatisfied with any aspect of the experience. The brisket is 2nd to none. The pulled pork is amazing and their pork shoulder for dinner is amazing as well.

  • Bea M.

    I am really disappointed at the food from this place. It's interesting and out of the ordinary but in a bad way. I regret choosing this restaurant for my dad's birthday as nobody in our party was satisfied or even happy with their food. Although I don't mind tasting new things, I was put off by the textures. The burned ends were way too fatty, it literally felt like eating a piece of fat with some flavor. The porcheta felt like we were eating cartilage carpaccio with no flavor, the pork shoulder was too smokey for my taste, the ribs were spicy and too vinegary, the pork loin felt like rubber. Over all the food was too fatty. I truly don't understand the hype about this place. 4 stars, REALLY?! Although I liked the feel of the place and decor, the food is most definitely overpriced for what you get.I won't be coming back here.

    Made a reservation this week before coming down from NY for 14 of us. We show up on time and they tell us they don't have our reservation. An hour later the manager asks us a bunch of questions on how we made the reservation, did we call the main office, who did we speak to and... Walks away with no solution. Just a heads up, make sure this doesn't happen to you. Major bummer and horrible customer service. Pretty bummed about this one. Expected a lot more.

    I finally got around to coming here for brunch and every expectation I had was exceeded! There has been a lot of reviews here that cover pretty much everything so I will keep it sweet and simple. Hostess, manager, and waiter were all really friendly and we were well taken care of. For brunch we had: - banana muffin which came out warm with a side of bruleed banana slices - swine hash which comes with a generous amount of short rib, fried shoe string sweet potatoes, and fried onions - country fried bacon and cheese waffles. Delicous crunchy waffles and super crispy bacon. - pulled pork and grits. there was so much grits and pulled pork, I did not expect such a big serving - sticky bun. I can't really describe the goodness of this dessert. Everything was off the chain, 5 stars, stick to your ribs, filling deliciousness. I cannot wait to come back here again.

    I live right by Swine, so every day I passed by yearning and anticipating its opening. Once opened, I would drive by, windows down, driving slowly so I could inhale the wonderful aroma emanating from their restaurant (yes, you can smell it, trust me). I finally made it, and have gone back a total of four times, each time anticipating my next meal there. I've gone twice for brunch and twice for dinner and quite frankly they are both just as amazing! If you've never been, go for brunch to start to get a nice taste of their offerings- plus it doesn't tend to be as packed as it is for dinner. They have made a few revisions to the menu but I think I've tried about half of it- and there is nothing I didn't like. As for the must haves, the burnt ends dish is all that and then some!!! I just wished it was bigger so I had more to eat! It has chunks of their famous smoked brisket, doused in a tangy yet slightly sweet BBQ sauce, with pieces of cornbread mixed in. The explosion of flavors in every bite is just amazing. Another dish I loved but was changed the last time I went- and not for the better- was the swine hash. The first time I had it, it was soooo good my husband and I kept fighting over it. It had sautéed sweet potatoes and onions, mixed in with smoked brisket and was absolute perfection! The last time, however, they opted for removing the sautéed sweet potatoes & instead garnishing the dish with fried sweet potato strings- NOT THE SAME!! We mentioned to our waiter how much we preferred the original dish and he did say he would mention it to the chef. I do hope they went back to the original version. As for the main dishes for brunch, I've had the fried pork belly and waffles, pulled pork n 'eggs, and BLT benedict. All have been amazing and the pulled pork is definitely enough for two. The grits are cooked to perfection and the pork is so tender and flavorful, you can't help but oohhh and ahhhh as you go through each bite. For dinner, I've had the smoked brisket and pork shoulder, and the bone marrow as a starter. The bone marrow is something you definitely should have- it's served with warm bread and the fatty marrow and bread is absolute perfection! The brisket is perhaps one of my favorite dishes- it's perfectly smoked, tender, and juicy. It is served with BBQ sauce on the side and the first time I went, the brisket was so good on it's own, I totally missed the BBQ sauce to begin with! Service has always been amazing. The servers know the food and will make great recommendations based on what you've ordered and what you perhaps have already tried. If you go for dinner, make sure to check out the bar upstairs. I was lucky enough to have Robert create 2 drinks for me that weren't even on the menu! He asked me what I liked, and whipped up 2 different- and phenomenal- drinks for me! Definitely make sure to stop by and see him- it's amazing to just see him create cocktails! Overall, I think Swine has lived up to it's name....I've walked out as one every single time! Good job guys...keep fattening me up!

    Like BBQ? Like fine cuisine? Swine is a fusion of the two. Great concept. Definitely reminded me of some of my favorite Texas BBQ joints but all in a high end environment. Swine is not cheap ...but it is delicious. Drinks are also great too, but pricey. I had an 18$ drink that was great, but it was 18 bucks. The burnt ends appetizer was super, super good. I had the brisket and while it was a little fatty was also super. My companion had a great pork dish as well. Anyway, want high end Southern BBQ in Coral Gables - you can not go wrong with Swine!

  • Carrie R.

    My first review reflected the superb service and the rich, delicious food. This review, unfortunately, will document a less than perfect experience. The Brisket, burnt ends and Mac and cheese were ordered and shared between my fiancé and I and disappointment was felt by all. For $28 we were served two dry pieces of brisket. Out of four miniscule pieces of burnt ends at least two of them were pure fat. Although our waiter attended to us when needed he was mostly lost amongst the busy crowd. All in all the only two saving graces from this dining experience were the single malt scotch we ordered and the Mac and cheese but inevitably we left hungry and a little annoyed at our bill. I might just stick to the brunch...

    Had a late lunch on Sunday and was it good! The BEST burger I'd had in long time. The meat was fresh, perfectly grilled, the bread was good and the fries were excellent. We did have a snafu with my husband's quiche, which arrived cold, so they didn't charge us for his lunch. I will go back when in Coral Gables. I'm already a fan of their other spot Yardbird...

    Stopped in for lunch. Was greeted by Julio, the General Manager, when my group arrived. Sat at the bar and my bartender/server was Jennifer. I got the pork sandwich, was one of the best I've ever had. Had thin cut fried onions on the sandwich and thick French fries. The ice tea was fresh and the atmosphere was nice.

    Atmosphere is modern and very country elite type of feel. Very delicious and tons of food. The managers do walk around and see how each customer is doing and it's nice to see.

    Let me say it started off a bit rocky. We got there without a reservation so we knew the wait would be long. We were told 45 minutes, we got there about 1:35 and sat around 2:36. But before we were seated the manager came out to the waiting area with cornbread and apologized for the wait (that I actually appreciated). Besides the wait, everything was awesome, the waitresses were awesome and extremely friendly. The manager kept checking in to see if we were okay. The food was delicious and filling and the bottomless mimosas kept us happy. I would definitely visit again but next time with a reservation.

    Everything is delicious, but everything is PRICEY. I recommend going with a group and splitting several entrees among you. Such tasty food. A little over my budget.

    Ive had Swine on my list for awhile now, finally made it a couple weeks ago. Was very good. We had the Swine burger which was amazing, Chicken wings were super fall off the bone tender, and The mac and cheese which was very mediocre. We had read a recommendation about getting the Swine shake, and were looking forward to this for a sweet desert and we were told it wasn't available any longer, so this was disappointing. . Overall very enjoyably, we will be back to try other things that looked great.

    Mediocre at best. Bartender was as friendly as a prison guard and utterly unhelpful. Food would come out fast and then a 40 minute delay for entrees. No time management in the kitchen. I thought the prep and food itself was ok. Nothing special. I cook better at home. The service was disappointing. I had to walk around to get pepper because no one checked on us after the food runner brought out the food. He was too busy chillaxing with the others. My favorite was the pseudo manager stopping by to check on us before we even ordered. What's the point of that? Three tries. Three strikes. A pig deserves more than that what swine delivers.

    Swine a.k.a. Yardbird with lots and lots of pork. I remember waiting a long time for this place to open 2 years ago. Lots of chatter and hype... and when it finally opened, it took me about 10 months to finally go. I've only gone to Swine a couple of times... and I still feel like I haven't explored the menu fully enough to give it a review. I usually go for a lunch or happy hour. Swine, to me, feels like a more accessibly-reachable Yardbird. It's located in a more central location. Prices are little cheaper. And, they have a pretty damn good happy hour. Some of the things I'd go for: -Swine Burger - most definitely in my top 5 burgers of all time. Think a Shake Shack burger with pork belly on it... and just bigger. It comes with beer-battered fries, which are incredible. I mean you can't get a better burger at a sit-down joint. BLT Sliders - good Happy Hour snack. Real savory, with a light crunch from the bacon. Highly recommended. Deviled Eggs - a little different from the DE at Yardbird. This has bacon bits on top which add a way crispier dimension to it than the caviar does at YB. Good sharing snack. Chili - not by any means the best chili I've ever had... but pretty good. I remember it having some really tender chunks of brisket. Wish the chili was a bit bigger, though. Bourbon. All the damn bourbon. I gotta give it another couple of times to give it a really true review. For now, I'd just recommend getting that burger with a bourbon on the side.

    Love Swine every time it go there and today was no exception. This time for brunch so I could finally have the Bloody Mary which was great. On the spicy side so if you like it a little more tame, be sure to tell your mixologist. Yes, they are more than bartenders. Had the Swine Burger which was also great. Service here is very good, consistently for the most part. I think I've only had less than stellar service one time and I've been there a dozen times, easy. Was disappointed the famous Burnt Ends weren't on the brunch menu but I will be back for dinner I'm sure. Reading the reviews on here I notice several refer to Swine as a barbecue restaurant but I don't think that's accurate. I'd call it a Southern Restaurant that's more on the high-end side. Definitely not your typical BBQ joint. Fantastic decor, vibe and clientele. As for the Burnt Ends being all fat...you are going to get that on occasion with brisket. The good thing about Swine is they aim to please and would have gladly brought you another serving which I'm sure would have been fine. It's not one of their signature dishes by accident!

    Food is plentiful, but downtown Coral Gables has now several more interesting fares...the ambience is intersting. If you can get a table on the upper floor (we had a big party for the whole office). Service is attentive, but appears understaffed. Food is based on southern-like mainstream but lacks the flavor packing and boldness it should have. Going there once means you won't come back often...overall uneventful combination. One would hope for some more adventurous chef to come...

    We went to Sunday Brunch yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Swine Southern Table and Bar! The food was great! Generous, southern-style comfort dishes with a Gastro-pub flare using quality ingredients. All the dishes we tried were exceptionally tasty. The service was prompt, friendly and very accomodating. They even made waffles without chilies for my young nephew since, like most kids, he doesn't like anything spicy. Be forewarned that there is no Children's Menu here. They do have pancakes, sticky buns and other items that little ones might like but there are no Chicken tenders and French fries. Or anything chicken for that matter. Pork rules here! The beef brisket and the Swine burger, both which two of our other diners had (and I, of course, tasted!) were exceptional. My country fried, extra thick bacon (more pork belly, really) and cheese waffles with bourbon maple syrup, pecans and spicy watermelon (yes, you read that right...) was outstanding. My mom's pulled pork sandwich with red cabbage and fried onion strings was also a winner, the bacon mac-n-cheese was delectable and the blueberry pancakes were fluffy, light and very taste as well. I'm going to come back ASAP to sample their lunch and dinner offerings but if it's anything like their Sunday Brunch, I may have found a new favorite spot in the Gables!

    Update! Yep! It's still friggin amazing! Ok, so I'm a equilateral and my review of the entire menu is well over due. I don't know exactly where to start so I'll just wing it. Make reservations on open table and get your points! Come on in and wait at the fully stocked bar and perhaps take a woodford reserve or perhaps a Hendricks. If you like a sweet drink but not too sweet, the homestead bound may just be up your alley. It's soft and sweet but does the trick. As an appetizer, I will definitely recommend the bone marrow. It's not filling but it's definitely smokey, savory, and comforting. The chili is a goodie as well, but may be too filling if you want to try other dishes. I would still recommend you order some of the corn bread. That will take you to heaven and back. Also, this is a place to share, as most things are a la carte. The brisket is tender and delicious. I've have a few sides and can say with confidence that the Brussel sprout , squash, potato hash or Mac and cheese any or every will make your mouth and belly happy. If you can fit a coffee and dessert here please feel free to let me know how they are. I've never made it so far!

  • Meagan S.

    I'm not going to say too much, as the others have said it all. The one thing that I will say is that this place has, hands down, the best mac and cheese that I've ever tasted. I felt my pupils dilate after the first bite.

    As a Social Media Manager, it is extremely important to me that businesses pay close attention to their social footprint. After my friend and I had a less than stellar experience during our first visit to Swine, the owner immediately responded to her yelp review and invited us back for a courtesy do-over. And...WOW! From the hospitality of Scott and the general manager Julio to the AMAZING food, it felt like... home. I'm a southern girl so I know how grits, brisket, biscuits, & hashbrowns should taste and Swine's was incredible! Thanks for getting it sooo right, gentlemen. I shall return!

    Went here for a lunch date and had the burger. Wowo words cannot explain how delicious that burger is. Very messy and not lady like burger but none the less delicious. Oh and the ketchup! Delicious homemade hot sauce. Would definitely repeat.

    I have only come once for dinner. What a dinner it was though. The food was ridiculous. I had the brisket and brussel sprouts. I can honestly tell you I don't normally like brussel sprouts, but I polished the plate. Service was very attentive. Even the manager passed by a couple of times. It is a very expensive meal for special occasions on my budget, but well worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone.

    This was my 2nd visit to Swine & it was just as great as the first! We visited this time for lunch. We were promptly seated and given both the regular and Miami Spice menus. We opted for the $23.00 three course Miami Spice options. There was no skimping on portions and everything was outstanding. Fried green tomatoes and deviled eggs appetizers were excellent. I ordered the salad option & my dining partner ordered the burger option. We both had bread pudding for dessert. Excellent! If you want good comfort food, but not your standard options, this is the place!

  • Adam S.

    I'll keep this pretty short and sweet. I paid $32 for their spare ribs which is the most I have ever paid for ribs in my life. I paid $80 for the aforementioned ribs, a blt Benedict dish, and a side of Mac and cheese (post-tip). I'm not gonna sit here and complain about the prices because I knew what I was getting into with the location of this place. The food is fine. In fact, I would go as far as to describe it as pretty good. With that said, these are nowhere near the best ribs I've ever had. They aren't even the best ribs I've had in miami. I'll let you do your own cost-benefit analysis on that. Definitely decent BBQ, but I probably will not be rushing back.

    I feel like a swine after that glutenous meal yippee yum! The shoulder is a big portion & amazing! It's has a nice sweet flavor on the outside & cooked perfectly. The brisket is a smaller portion & very good! The Cobb salad was very tasty too. Service is wonderful. The house punch is a yummy drink too. And for the finale you must get the sticky iky bun & wash it down w/the Oreo cookies & bourbon milk!!! And the decor is awesome! And this lil piggy went out on a stretcher!

    Brunch Allstar. The Bloody Mary was amazing. It's so difficult to find a good bloody mary that isn't thinned out or lacking the right amount of everything. They just knew exactly how to make it! It even had a piece of bacon as decor. As an entree, I devoured the cheese and waffles (or something along those lines). I can't remember because I was so food drunk and amazed at how delicious everything war. The service was also great. We were tended to the right amount of times and never felt over or under served! Can't wait to go back!

  • Tania G.

    i was SO excited to eat at Swine, i could barely contain myself. we went for lunch and had... the mac n' cheese (which is quite possibly the best mac n' cheese i have ever had) and the country fried bacon and waffles (which was not the flavor explosion i had hoped for). honestly, i felt pretty gross eating it, i'm not going to lie. yes, i know, bacon is never healthy. but these deep fried bacon strips were artery clogging and FULL of fat. eek! and they had no flavor whatsoever. the waffles were alright. the service was good but overall, i was not impressed. my heart stands firm at 3 stars b/c it was just okay.

    My friends and I held a surprise dinner here for my dear friend Michelle. Saying that it was a success is an understatement. The surprise was scheduled for 8, I arrived at 7 PM and the table was already arranged on the second floor/ back corner. The live band - Jay Valor Band played all night (great covers and good vibes) and they even sang happy birthday as she walked up to the table! The pre-set menu option 1 worked out well, we even had leftovers with a party of 15! On the menu was the following: Family Style Supper - all courses served for the table to share FRIED GREEN TOMATO - these were delicious, not the best I have ever had but definitely yummy! 1855 BLACK ANGUS BURNT ENDS - I don't usually prefer burnt anything but once you cut open the crispy outer layer the inside meat was so tender and pulled apart effortlessly KALE SALAD - Best Kale salad I have had! The flavors are just right and add ins allow for you too enjoy the Kale without that overwhelming veggie taste that is hard to avoid! DRY-RUBBED & SMOKED MEMPHIS-STYLE SPARE RIBS - absolutely out of control good, the rub although different it worked. I am just sad that at this point I was getting full and only had one! SHRIMP & GRITS - I could do without the ham, so I just pushed it to the side to devour the juicy shrimp that has a kick! I was pushing through the grits to get to the shrimp! HOMEMADE CORNBREAD - I actually never got around to trying the cornbread as I was too focused on the shrimp. CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS - Can't beat a restaurant that makes you want to eat your veggies, these were cooked to perfection. MAC AND CHEESE - Once again you cannot go wrong with Mac and Cheese, if a restaurant manages to mess up mac/cheese they should just close the doors. The top layer was baked just right and inside the devil! Total diet sabotage. So yes if you are thinking of going, don't hesitate. Go for it. Side note the valet is only $8, the wait staff is friendly, they allowed us to cut our own cake aside from the desserts that were also included in the pre-set menu. I didn't care for the desserts but everyone else was fighting over the bourbon milk and oreo cookies!

    Overhyped and overpriced. Food is good but not worth the wait to get a table. Sat at the bar with 3 friends 2 apps and 2 rounds of drinks $127.00. Stay away from the old cuban. The drink not the guy sitting behind you. They are $18.00 a piece. For that much coin they should throw in a cigar!

    Food was well presented but honestly was just ok, I'm a big fan of southern food so I was exited to try this place. I ordered shrimp grits, was way too salty. The cocktail I ordered was $10+ and tastes creative in a weird way, not good. This place is interesting decorated, but the food is disappointing. I don't know why this place is so popular.

    Simply phenomenal. It's hard to find anything wrong with this place. Great food - you have to start with the burnt ends - deftly-made cocktails and attentive, personable servers. It's a regular spot for me, my wife and my friends, and we have never had a negative experience.

    We had a great time there. My boyfriend has gone there several times, but this was my first time and I enjoyed it. We had the brisket, ribs, and macaroni and cheese. Everything was on point, but the waiter Nicolas was AWSOME. He was super duper nice and polite.

    We went for New Years Eve dinner. It was fantastic. They have this drink called the "don't tell Cece" it is amazing. we had the brisket and fried brussel sprouts along with a few other small plates. It was fantastic.. as with all the 50 eggs restaurants we were very happy

  • Jose C.

    I know that this is not the consensus about this place, but I honestly don't understand all the hype. We went there on a Saturday night in a large group to have dinner for a friend's birthday. I like the decor and the ambience, but the food is just not that good. We started with an order of burnt ends while we were waiting for the rest of our party. The waiter brought the burnt ends AND 3 servings of corn bread. Since we didn't order the bread, we thought it came with our meal. Not so much. We were charged for it at the end. It was very good, but don't bring me something unless I order it. My wife had the burger (which was good, not great) Some others had the ribs (didn't try them) and many of us had the 14 hour brisket they are so famous for. I have to say honestly that the brisket was one of the worst I have ever had. I am a big fan of brisket. I have it at most bbq joints I visit, make it at home myself, and have had it from several different teams at the The World's Championship Bar-B-Que competition in Houston. This brisket was just awful. It was so greasy that if you pressed it with your fork, a pool of it was created. I appreciate some fat on my meat, but don't want to eat globs of it off my plate. It was also cold and pretty tasteless. This was the opinion of the 4 persons at our table that ate it, or at least had a few bites before deciding not to. We should've listened to the couple next to us that didn't care for it either. I will say that the manager came by and asked us about our food. When he saw the plates of barely eaten brisket, he asked if we didn't like it and offered to remove it from the bill without us asking him to. I did appreciate this gesture. What I didn't appreciate was my wife overhearing the staff speaking poorly of us when she went to the restroom. Also, our waiter was just pleasant enough to be passable considering we were a table of 8 ordering food and multiple drinks.

    In fairness to them, we didn't sample a lot of food as the kids were restless so we only had the brisket and the chicken and the differences between the two were incredible with the only similarity being the $28 price. For $28 you get a half of a really moist bbq chicken, some okra, and some potatoes. The chicken was really good with the only suggestions being to possibly have a crisper skin and to give the diner extra sauce. To contrast that for $28 we had a piece of brisket laying on a metal pan with a piece of bread sliced in half and a little thing of sauce. The chicken was really good and well worth the price but this is a bbq place so I have to deduct two stars cause the brisket didn't match the price or the expectations.

  • Raul C.

    Dined here on a business dinner. A little noisy for that. Regardless, everyone enjoyed themselves and the food. We started with the Deviled Eggs (just alright), Fired and Grilled Octopus (awesome) and Hush Puppies (excellent). For mains we had the Shrimp and Grits (very good), Pork Shoulder (excellent), ribs (excellent - but too much for just one person - I recommend sharing this plate), and some fish (not sure why this was ordered at a place called Swine but it got good reviews). For sides we went with the Mac and Cheese (excellent) and Brussel Sprouts (a big hit).

    Went to Swine for brunch, best brunch I have ever had! The pancakes were delicious, and you cannot beat bottomless mimosas. The service was wonderful, the environment was lovely, and the food was amazing. Honestly I think you could close your eyes, pick a meal and would not be disappointed.

  • Noah M.

    Walking into Swine, right off the bat you're welcomed by the light and lofty smells of apple wood smoke. My date and I were sat immediately and given newly printed menus. Clear and concise, we knew what we wanted, Brisket Steak & Eggs, Country-Fried Bacon and Waffles, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, and freshly squeezed OJ. The decor is a mix of modern textures with a country feel... tall tin-covered ceilings, walls of bricks with neat stacks of apple wood... a centerpiece of freshly pickled jars of vegetables and a wide selection of wines... The overall atmosphere was very welcoming and comfortable.

  • Sarah S.

    The food is really good, however, I am an interior designer and I know how a space can be functional. The lighting in this place around the bar area is very poor so you can barely see your drink. And then in the seating area (dining tables) for two are too close to each other and it's very uncomfortable. You could hear the conversation from the people next to you. Happy Valentine's Day!

    Why is Miami getting so many restaurants with the same food? This is another yardbird, eating house... which we love, but seriously.... Get creative! Enough with the kale salad, the caramelized brussel sprouts, chicken and waffles and fruity fufu drinks... We sat down saw the menu and left... Too much of the same.... Nice location, nice ambience and "cool" staff but we are tired of the same food....

    With all the choices of restaurants in the Gables this is not one I will return to. Food did not live up to the hype! We were a party of six and tried 5 different entrees and a slew of apps and sides. Waiter was nice but absent most of the meal. Front hostesses not friendly and could not find my reservation that I even called the day before to confirm. Disappointed as had heard such great things and went to celebrate two friends bdays!

  • Alex R.

    I've heard good things about Swine but had never actually been. We went last Friday at 10 pm, walked in and were seated right away. The service was a bit subpar. We were on one of the ends of the restaurant so we weren't waited on as well as expected and had to ask for water and a straw multiple times. The straw never came by the way. As far as food, we had the Burnt Tips for appetizer which were pretty tasty. Definitely not worth the $18 price tag though, since it was pretty small portions and nothing out of this world. I then had the 14 hour brisket which arrived cold, and did not have the texture I expected (it was hard and fatty). The sides (Mac n Cheese and cornbread, Okra) were all great except for the Okra which tasted bitter. Overall we walked out disappointed. My overall impression was overpriced hype. I may check it out again but highly unlikely.

    50 eggs has definitely got a handle on southern food! i still think they need to brush up on their asian style menu before they open khong fuzi but YardBird and Swine definitely win in my book! The decor is cool, the ambience is fun, service is great and food is always fun, different and so yummy that you dream of going back for more. I would skip brunch though as the prices and selection still seem more dinner appropriate than the breakfast/lunch food I am used to. - Ribs - Dry rubbed and so very tasty. I think I ate at least 3 of these without stopping, before I came up for air and tried anything else on the dinner table. - Country Fried Bacon and Waffles (AKA Fancy Pork Belly) - this was a truly decadent dish. It was crunchy on the outside and really creamy and rich on the incident. This dish you really have to share as you can't eat more than 1.5 pieces...or maybe you shouldnt...healthwise lol. - Pork Loin (AKA Fancy Pork Chop) - Nice thick cut of pork chop. This was really good and not at all dry, which is hard to do for such a thick cut of pork. My friends voted a high thumbs up on this while I will pass. Nothing against the dish; I just prefer my pork chops to be a little more char grilled, kind of like how you would do it on high heat in frying pan. - Corn Bread - these are good but nothing really to write home about. How about we remove this dish and bring the YardBird biscuits over? - JoJo Fries - I love me some thick cut steak fries! And chicken fried? Yes please! The house ketchup is good, but sometimes I just want these things with regular old Hunts or Heinz.

    It lived up to all of my expectations. We came here for breakfast and it was delicious. I had one of the best omelet's I've ever had! The sticky icky bun is seriously to die for. Who would have thought bacon on a sticky bun would be good (EWWW, RIGHT?) Well, admittedly it was delicious. They originally brought me the cappuccino at the beginning of our meal and and it got cold so they brought me a new hot one, which was nice!

    WOW!!! Swine is ridiculously... GOOD. The place is incredibly decorated - so much rustic detail went into the space. It is a unique layout, with a large bar above and below. The people are friendly and very welcoming. For a brand new place, the service was perfectly attentive. The family style menu is great for a group and the pricing is very fair. The drinks are the best around. Some of the most creative and unique cocktails I have seen in a while. I particularly liked the bacon infused rye cocktail. I went with a large party, so was able to try a lot: ... Kale Salad - very good, never had so much kale in a salad (and liked it) ... Grilled Little Gems - love this salad, the bacon and blue cheese takes it over the top ... House Made Charcuterie - incredible mix of meats and a really nice cheese spread - loved this appetizer ... 1855 Black Angus Burnt Ends - my favorite - I could have made this my dinner. The corn bread muffin tops take it over the top ... Seared Diver Scallops - well cooked scallops and nicely shredded pork ... Wood-Grilled Cauliflower - simple and deliciously grilled ... Peas and Carrots - very nice side dish ... Shrimp and Grits - probably the best around ... House Smoked Brisket - The absolute winner on the menu - huge slabs of deliciously tender meat ... Pan Roasted Chicken - very nicely prepared ... Corn bread - total winner - must try ... Smoked Spare Ribs - excellent and perfectly sauced ... Wood Grilled Fish - if you stay away from pig - this is a great option I can't believe Swine just opened. On a Tuesday - it was packed. The service was perfect, the food was spot on. It felt like a well oiled restaurant. Something fun to watch is the kitchen activity. Tons of people moving in harmony - it is quit a show. Highly recommended - I'm coming back.

    I was soooo excited to eat here and picked it as my birthday dinner spot with my husband. We have two small kids at home so getting out alone is a luxury. The ambiance, service and decor is impeccable. The food was good but not great (or amazing for the price you're paying). The burnt ends were tough and you only get 5 small pieces for $18. The ribs were good, nice flavor, but the sides (beans & cornbread) that it comes with were not good - at all. Had I only had the country fried bacon & waffles and the sticky bun dessert I would probably give this place more stars. These two dishes were superb, layers of flavor that melt in your mouth and so "out of the box" for typical gables fare. Maybe I read too many reviews and had my hopes set too high.

    I have been stalking this place since 50 eggs announced it was in the works. I have follow all the media attention up until their opening, I even called and asked to get in their friends and family opening event. I figured if it was as good as Yardbird, and later opened Khong, then just adding pork would make it that much better. Finally made it here on St. Patrick's day. After having a couple of pints in a near by pub, I, my SO and a two more friends, headed out to Swine for dinner. We arrived and were immediately greeted by a very cheerful, very helpful hostess. She informed us that the dinner service would start in 30 mins and that we could wait at the bar. So we did. I had read some great things about the cocktail menu so I was looking forward to trying some of them, even though I'm not much of a cocktail guy. I opened with the Penicillin, a signature cocktail by Sam Ross from Attaboy in NY a place that have received great reviews for its cocktails. This is a guys' drink if not by the palate, the faces of the two girls in my group that tried it is telling enough. The drink is the perfect balance of two very good whiskies, Great King Street a blend and a spray of Laphroaig 10. Yes a spray, you might think it makes no difference but it does. It adds a peatness factor that blends very well with the fresh ginger. Add some lemon and some honey and you have a great semi-dry cocktail with a great balance of tart and sweet. So, remember, Penicillin even if you are not sick. I followed with the Swine Old Fashioned. This one combines an America Rye whiskey with maple syrup and house made bitters. And this was the cool part, they make their own bitters. The drink was sweeter than the previous but still a very good drink. I had the chance to also try the Mexican State of Mind, a great drink mixing tequila and mezcal with watermelon, jalapeno and cilantro. What a punch! But if you want a classic cocktail, go for the Vieux Carre. Not only is this an old school southern staple but it is also bottled and aged. The aging allows this drink to come full circle and truly matures. On to the food. As its usual, I wanted to get everything in the menu. Everything looks so good but after careful consideration and a thorough elimination process we went for Brunswick Stew, Mac N Cheese, Cornbread, Baked Beans, Pork N Beans and the Brisket. Now, here is something to keep in mind in case you are not familiar with this or any of the other great 50 eggs creations (if you are not then, I don't know where you have been). These are not places where you ask for the usual appetizer, entree and dessert, not your typical restaurants. Here, they embrace the concept of family, friends and sharing. I know, estrange concepts for many but noble ones, everyone should try them. So embodying these concepts, the plates are great for sharing. This not only allows you to get be more intimate as a group but also to try more from the menu. Win win for everyone. The Brunswick Stew was very good and it had a smokey and gamey feel to it due to the alligator sausage and the smoked rabbit. The butter beans and the pickled okra put a southern punch to it. This is something that would go amazing in a cold night. I can understand why this might not be in everyone's palate but, I love it. The baked beans were very good and totally different to what you find anywhere else. This were more tangy than sweet. I suggest that if you are getting the pork and beans, skipped this. The mac N cheese was superb. A concoction of five cheeses with crispy bacon and tender macaroni, so creamy so delicious, so close to licking the cast iron pot it comes in. The cornbread, oh brother the cornbread. Pieces of jalapeno, cheddar and bacon all baked inside a delicious cornbread accompanied by a creamy honey butter. From the first bite you admire the saltiness of the bacon contrasting with the sweetness of the cornbread and then when you think the bite is over the jalapeno kicks in, not overpowering but subtle enough to give you different dimension. Slather all of that on some honey butter (which by the way, you can eat by itself, highly recommended) and you got yourself a little piece of southern heaven. The brisket, how can I put this? There is very little I can add to the fact that is smoked for 14 hours. If you are a fellow pork/BBQ lover, then you know what this does to the meat. Super tender, juicy meat, fat down to butter consistency all wrapped up in a perfect char. Amazing by itself or if you like your brisket wet then dip it on the awesome molasses Q sauce. And then there was the pork and beans. One hunk of shoulder smoked for only 12 hours. So soft, so tender that it shreds by just looking at it. On a bed of the delicious baked beans. As dessert, we went for the sticky bun. Shame they run out of the sweet potato ice cream, but everything, including the sticky bun, was so good that I am not holding that against you, SWINE, at least for now.

    OK so I have been laying low these past two years or so and haven't written ANY reviews... Nothing personal yelpers.... I've just been busy having babies!! With that said: SWINE, you brought me back. The establishment is fun and has a completely different feel than most joints in Coral Gables. This was refreshing! The staff and service were good, no complaints. and the food was delicious, delicious, mouth watering delicious!! You must have the pork belly. Best thing on the menu in my opinion. Nice bar, cool atmosphere, but, expect a wait. We did in fact wait over an hour for our table.

    Swine is open and Coral Gables may be cool yet. Went to dinner with friend on Saturday night and it was very good. They did a nice job renovating the former Les Halles, which could have used a small thermonuclear device. It is now very cozy with a communal table in front of the open kitchen at the rear of the first floor and a great dining balcony on the second floor with its own bar. The decor is similar to, but a bit different than, Yardbird, one of their other restaurants. To start, the spicy watermelon cocktail was dangerous, you just wanted to keep on drinking which would be OK but you would miss the very good selection of wines they serve by the glass. We decided to order family style, which is a good idea. Two appetizers for the table, the Charcuterie plate and the Scallops. The charcuterie plate had two cured hams and pork rillettes. The Virginia ham was truly amazing, something that could easily give the infamous black foot pigs of Spain a run for their money. It just melted in your mouth. The other ham was very similar to prosciutto. The pork rillettes were as good as any I have had in France. The plate also contained some really good pimento cheese, coarse grain mustard (could have had a bit more mustard kick) and lots of great pickles. The scallops were served over a slow cooked shredded beef like a brisket or short rib, sorry cant remember which. This was a down home version of Pascals scallops and short ribs, For entrees we ordered the brisket, the ribs and the shrimp and grits and sides of the hippie steak (cauliflower) and mustard greens. With vegetables like those you just might forget you are in a place called Swine. The cauliflower did vaguely eat like a piece of meat and was excellent at the same time. I finally found mustard greens with the right amount of vinegar. Why are people so afraid of vinegar? you could eat mounds of pulled pork or other heavily sauced meat as long as you had a gigantic side of these greens. The brisket was pretty good, see below. The ribs were excellent, sort of in the Chinese style, small, a bit on the dry side, but fall off the bone tender. The shrimp and grits are heavenly, the best I have had outside of Charleston, possibly the best I have had. Finally shrimp and grits served correctly with good (red eye?) gravy. I was hoping for a good take on the pecan pie for desert but the closest I could find was the sticky bun. I believe there was some pecan in there. Based on the richness of all food we had previously, I thought the sticky bun would be over the top and while good, it wasn't amazing. The two comments/concerns that I have are first, the bar area. It is tight and if this restaurant is as popular as it seems it will be, it could get pretty crowded around the bar. During the ribbon cutting ceremony, it was very difficult to move around the first floor. Second is the brisket, while excellent for Florida, it just isn't Texas brisket.....yet. They need to slice it thinner and change the sauce. There is nothing sweet, stickey or thick about the sauce served in Texas. Short of those issues our meal was excellent and we will be returning as soon as our waistlines recede.

    I have been here twice and I my impression is that whoever runs the place really takes pride in their work, and it carries down to the staff. First visit my girlfriend and I went there on a Saturday morning. We were looking for a "brunch" place. My girlfriend thought the specialty drinks were strong but I liked them. I tried the "penicillin" and the peach infused bourbon drink. We remedied her problem with a plain mimosa. We tried several apps like the baked bean which were tasty with the little chunks of pig and crunchy onions on top. I would also recommend the biscuits - they were awesome with the house made maple butter and jam. For our meals were tried the burger and breakfast sandwich. Both were excellent and filling. The real stars were the servers and bartenders who were friendly, engaging, and interested in what you thought of everything. The second time I went with my girlfriend and another friend. This time we tried the cornbread, while not bad it wasn't as good as the biscuits. You couldn't taste the jalapenos which I expected some spice. Also, I tried the Mexican specialty drink and it was tasty and more appropriate for a woman looking for something stiff but not almost straight up. As for our meals, we got the ribs, fried chicken sandwich, and the mahi mahi salad. I thought the ribs were good, but not mind blowing - I excepted more but I wasn't upset. The chicken sandwich was equally as good, and they added some hot sauce to it so that gave it nice kick. As for the salad, it was incredible well thought out. The bib lettuce was grilled and the mahi mahi was super fresh and delicious. Whoever made that salad, made me actually not regret for the first time in my life ordering a salad in a restaurant. Overall, its a little pricey, but given it's location and décor you should understand that when you walk in. The food is very tasty and the drinks are worth trying and most importantly if you like bourbon this is your spot. I'll probably be back here a time or two.

    Wow... What great food & drinks! ... This place makes authentic old fashion drinks unlike any other... Try the Homestead Bound - its really good and so is the Spicy Mexican drink. The food is also really good. Everything is made from scratch. The scallops were unlike anything else I've ever tasted... (You have to try this dish!!!). It's made with a roasted pepper sauce, pieces of shredded pork and the scallops on top. It's out of this world good :)) The macaroni and cheese was the best I've had and the Brisket is so tender - The bartender said they cook their meats for long hours. I guess this is how they achieve the deep, incredible flavors that you taste. The place also has some really good energy with music playing on the background a lot of talking among the tables. They also have a large community table for those who find themselves having dinner by themselves or who want to socialize with others while having dinner. Great place!

    We came back this weekend on a craving to have some of the pig ears again. Instead we were enticed by the black Angus burnt ends and the diver scallops. My sexy other half raved about the burnt ends but the scallops were to die for! (I should have kept them to myself). For our main course we got the Yankee steak which was big enough to share was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. I usually don't notice service unless it's really bad but I was very impressed with the way the staff works here. It is seamless. I would take two sips of water and someone would swoop in to fill it. More sauce? No problem. Another drink? On it's way. I'm also not much of a dessert person but I had heard about their sticky buns and how they were like the ones from the "amish". The bun was huge and yummy but the homemade buttermilk ice cream it came with was the best part.

    After reading some of the negative reviews of the burnt tips and the swine burger, I decided to defy them all by ordering the burnt tips and the swine burger. I was not disappointed. After having possibly the best burger I have ever had a week before in Pittsburg, I had possibly the second best burger here. As for the steak tips - incredible: mostly meat, enough fat for great flavor, and cooked to perfection. So, negative review debunking aside, the place is great. The atmosphere is relaxed, the drinks menu is varied enough and the service is functional but super friendly (perfect!).

    The brisket and fried green tomatoes are delicious!!!!! You will be craving it the next day for sure. Don't forget dessert..If you love peanut butter and chocolate the chocolate peanut butter lava cake is a must!!! it melts in your mouth. Everything here is amazing. The drinks are good too. Homestead bound is my favorite.

    Place was good but I got jipped on the bone marrow. The portion was extremely small, so small it was only enough to cover 2 of the 4 slices of bread. Despite the size portion it was really good. I was part of a group of 12 and waited for almost an hour for a table. Granted there was a pork event going on so that was the excuse given but we left to wonder most of the time if we would ever be seated.

    I've been to the Yardbird so I was expecting great food and that's exactly what we got. For starters we had the House Made Charcuterie & Pimento Cheese Jar as well as the 1855 Black Angus Burnt Ends. The burnt ends were delicious; super tender. The Pimento Cheese was also very good. We then ordered the 14-hour House Smoked Brisket which was cooked to perfection along with the Shrimp & Grits; flavor was on point. Also tried their Jo-Jo's fries, Homemade Cornbread & Mac & Cheese. Finished our dinner with their oh so yummy Warm Sticky Icky Bun. It took me a while to decide what to order only because they're was so many things I wanted to try but that just means we get to come back and have more great food.

    Their policy is no reservation. So we arrived at 7:30, were told the wait was 30 to 40 min. However we were not seated until 9:30. They were a bit off on their timely. By this time everyone were into in the best of moods. The food was just ok. I had the fried green tomatoes BLT. The pork belly was no meat, just fat. I understand pork belly is fatty, but this is no meat just fat. Two others in our party had the chicken fried pork & waffles. They thought the dish very good. So would I go back, not unless they start taking reservations. Standing around for 2 hours is not my idea of a good time :(

    Came with some friends to the ribbon cutting, this place is fabulous. I'm in love with the atmosphere, the drinks, the food, the... Everything! I've just gotten a sample but the quality and love that's put into their end product shines through. They cure their ham in house, and everything is made from scratch. My personal favorites were the spicy watermelon cocktail, spicy cured ham, the cornbread, and the key lime pie. Come give it a try!
