Pathetic excuse for something trendy that didn’t make it and is now closed. BTW stood for Burgers„ Tacos and Whisky. Talk about a bad idea. Who even drinks whiskey anymore. certainly not the people they were trying to attract. The food was extremely average, the Margaritas lousy and they had those misting things to save on air conditioning which if you wear glasses is a nightmare. We’ll see what the next iteration is… something to do with chicken. Now that’s a concept !

A fine spot for a quick bite, service is great, food is tasty — especially the burgers & tacos. Bar is good, hope the menu thing has settled down now. Staff are great, always lots of smiles. Oaxacan cocktail is a nice one, if you can pronounce it…

Place is excellent. Delicious BURGERS, with flavor, and the bacon, there is no words to explain the flavor. I say the best in south beach. Excellent fries, fresh fries, and the sauce is amazing. 55555 stars

I was a fan of the BTW menu when it first opened. Great burritos, solid burgers/sandwiches. Then, they changed the menu, killing the best burrito options, but keeping the very solid Swine Burger. Then, they changed the menu again. It’s a total mess. As soon as I figure out which menu options I like best, they change the menu. And, as soon as I figure out how they’re working the pickup orders(originally at the bar, then at the kitchen, now at the host stand, where they leave your order fully bagged to go stale unless you show up at the exact right moment). Very disappointing.

The place is a little hole in the wall and you can easily miss out on it. Be sure to be alert! It’s great tho. The food was awesome, very rich in flavors and the pulled pork tacos were my favorite! They carry a decent amount of cocktails and if you go be sure to try the pineapple caipirinha. It’s very refreshing and it’s a lot in quantity. I also had an old fashioned and again wasn’t disappointed at all! The only thing I wish they did better was they came to your table and took your order instead of you having to go up to the server to place it. Aside from that the place is great and I highly recommend it!

I went for lunch on a weekday and left curious about dinner/celebration on a weekend. Ambiance reminds me of the typical bars you find in Wynwood. Chill, quirky, hipster and relaxed. The bar is fully stocked with several alcoholic options for all tastes. The food wasn’t my favorite part but not bad at all. I had the pork belly taco and the… gosh I can’t remember the other one, looks like the pork belly took center stage from this duo… I like that they have several daily«specials/deals» beyond the widely used Happy Hour format found everywhere else. And the girl at the bar was very friendly and knowledgable about the place she works for which is definitely a good sign… I definitely put this place down in my list of Friday-night-things-to-do list…

I’m definitely a fan of this place… Came in to try their esteemed tacos, and they didn’t disappoint. I went a little crazy and ordered 4 because I just wanted to try them all. the grilled mahi mahi was a bit dry and flavorless, but not bad with a little hot sauce. The chicken taco and the ground beef taco are both very good, generous portion of meat so I was full after these but then I tried the roasted pulled pork and I could not stop eating. This last one was the best in my opinion. Great experience overall, probably will come back and try the few I missed out on because I was too full. Cheers!

Came in last night an hour before closing. Something I hate to do but I really didn’t want to hit up the other burger joint nearby. We sat at the bar and our bartender was really great! She didn’t seem annoyed or anything, she was actually very helpful and patient as I read through all of the cocktails on the menu. They have a humongous selection of Whiskey lined up all behind the bar. That along with tons of other alcohol options. I opted for the BTW Old Fashioned and my bf had the Spicy Serrano-Rita. They were delicious. We ended up ordering the pulled pork nachos for appetizer which were amazing, and also ordered the swine burgers. The burger was really great and the thick cut bacon was to die for. I absolutely love this place and I will definitely recommend it to all my friends!

Great hangover food. Greasy, tasty and goes down smooth. I devoured my burger and fries no problem. I would order the baconless version next time. Its a bit much for something so yummy on its own. Fries were crispy and plentiful. Great drink specials for Miami Beach. Super cute set-up. Bartender was great!

YumYumDelishDelish! Initially visited with R.R.M and another friend. Talk about home run! Firstly, management/service are fantastic. It took us awhile to decide what we wanted. Our sever was friendly, helpful and patient. After ordering our meals we feasted on chips and salsa. We od’d on those damn chips! Why are they so good? Crisp and light, not greasy at ALL. Trust me, I am a chip authority. These were fresh and so fantastic, we overdosed on chips. If you know me, you know I’m picky. Well more like I know what I like, you know? So I often need to create my meals. The folks at BTW were mellow and lovely about my ways. I ordered the taco salad, omitted several items and home run. Fannnntastic. So for you veggies, go with the RSVP salad and add or omit here and there. You won’t be sorry! I love that there’s a bar… the space is just mellow and inviting. And about 2 seconds from my house. I shall be a BTW groupie!

I missed most of the Elite Event because of that thing called W.o.r.k. and I95 traffic. Cassie was kind enough to let me in, and in sampling the chicken tacos and cinnamon chips, my prayers to the Unilocal Gods were answered. BTW has the essential food groups for a dude: Burgers, Tacos and Whiskey. After a short wait while they transitioned from Unilocal event to full dinner, my waitress Shantel(sp?) came by to take my order, and keep my iced tea refills coming promptly. Based on what I sampled at the event, I went with their burger and a chicken burrito. Yes, I will be coming back for the whiskey! Said Swine Burger(yes, as in Carnivore Heaven Swine) consisted of two juicy, sizeable pieces of beef, melted American Cheese and Miami Smokers’ Bacon. Hungry yet? They even took out the pickles to please my OCD tendencies and brought out BBQ sauce for me to dip the handcut fries. As they say in the old country, I ordered with my eyes and not my appetite, and could not even start the chicken burrito I ordered. No matter, manager Will had it wrapped up and my lunch the next day was much better than the chain restaurant fare near my office park. I enjoyed a two-hand size marinated chicken burrito(minus guacamole, yes they customized that out for me too!) and cilantro for lunch. WIth the portion size and friendly service, there’s no way I couldn’t give BTW5 stars!

As a fellow Unilocaler said below, what happened? I came in yesterday and was excited to show my boyfriend BTW.(Note: It was second choice after we learned Yardbird was closed for a private event.) Long story short, the service was great, so I’m happy they’ve stepped up their game in that sense, but the food was lacking. We sat down and ordered the chips+salsa(good but spicy!), four tacos(chicken, pork & two beef) and the Tijuana dog(w/the $ 2 tall boy on Wednesdays). The tacos were boring and bland. I was pretty disappointed being a huge fan of tacos. The boyfriend and I agreed that the beef tacos tasted like ground beef from anywhere. Nothing distinguishable. My boyfriend did like his pork taco, so I was happy to hear that. When the Tijuana dog came, I was excited, but it quickly escaped when I noticed how skinny it was. Not to mention, my first comment was that it looked like it was thrown in the microwave. Regardless, we consumed it and it tasted fine. Again, nothing memorable. The bill came out to $ 37 and some change. Not worth it. I don’t think I’ll be coming back after this experience. The flies everywhere made the dining experience an unpleasant one and the food wasn’t anything memorable.

1. Eat the burger from Swine. 2. Eat the cheaper, smaller, and not so great burger from BTW. BTW is Swine related. Both are 50 eggs Restaurants. 3. Eat the burger from Swine and don’t ever cheat on them again. I tried their small burgers(not that flavorful or impressive), okay tacos, alright burritos(better than their burgers and tacos), satisfactory cocktails, and vaguely interesting vanilla and chocolate soft serve ice cream. I came to slow realization that we were at a 50 eggs«lite» concept. Light on portion sizes. Light on flavor. Light on quality. Service hit or miss. It’s a cheaper version, sure. It’s for those that don’t want to spend Yardbird or Swine money(way better restaurants, way better food). If you like drinking this is the place to be. If you want quality food with your drinks, I suggest you go elsewhere. Server/host guy was nice. They were packed and it was a somewhat rainy night. He tried really hard to find us a table with some cover from the rain, but the parties that had finished with dinner were just chillin’ and not eating anymore. Then some guy at the bar«was waiting for friends» and reserved some empty seats. First come first served, whatever fool. Eventually, we okayed a pair of circular high tops that were covered in rain overlooking the entire outdoor seating area. It had no roof cover, so we were taking a risk. The host guy made sure the tables were well wiped. We sat and waited, waited, and waited some more for a server to take our order. They totally forgot about us! How could they forget us considering we had the only toddler in the restaurant? Also, I thought that we’d be a pretty recognizable group with extreme height differences in our party. 6 foot something guy. 5 foot something guy. 4 foot something ladies. 3 foot toddler. We finally grew tired of seeing how long it would take them to notice us. 5 minutes was funny. 10 — 15 minutes was ridiculous when we were easily visible to everyone in the outdoor area. My brother(who was visiting from out of town) had to find the manager to let him know we were ready for a server. I thought I could hide the terrible Miami customer service from him, but it came out in full force during his trip.

Burger Taco Whiskey is not only a great name and concept but the food and service were also on point. Given we came on a Sunday night there wasn’t a wait which is always a bonus, especially for a new hot spot. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The menu is pretty straight forward. Not only are there the obvious burgers and tacos, they also have burritos, side dishes(elote type corn dish) and salads. They also have a full bar so if whiskey isn’t your forte, you’re covered. To start we ordered the queso fundido which was gooey and delicious. I also love that they have a mezcal drink(hard to find sometimes) called the Oaxacan which I highly recommend if you like smokey drinks like I do. For our entres I went all in with a pork and chorizo burrito. It was gluttonous glory. For some reason I didn’t notice the special sauces that were inside the caddy on the caddy, but they are definitely worth trying. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would happily go back when we’re in the area. Downside: I’m not sure if their AC was broken the night we went but it was pretty hot inside so I’d recommend waiting for outside seating.

I’m sorry but it’s about time LIME had to go! It used to be awesome when they opened around 2004⁄5. I used to love them but in the past 10 or so years they became unbearable and uneatable(at least the one on this location). I’m so happy BTW opened near my house! It’s a real fresh breeze of comfort food for this area :) I don’t drink whiskey but I did go there and had the American cheeseburger and taco al pastor(both very tasty) and got a free yummy Vanilla/chocolate ice cream swirl desert, which I thought was a nice touch. I sat at the bar to watch the cooks work and watch the crowd coming in… just like the place the people there(staff and customers) were young, fresh and good looking. I can’t wait to go back and already told all my friends to go check BTW out. I like their name too! My mouth is watering now just by thinking about this place! Yum!
