This restaurant is more of a bar that serves food and carries that atmosphere. At lunch is was more about being a neighborhood bar than a traditional barbecue restaurant.
That being said, the food was better than your average bar food.
We started with deviled eggs topped with pulled pork. These beauties were quite good. Nice southern taste and good pork addition.
We then moved onto another item from the appetizer menu. A beautiful bowl of burnt ends. These were quite good and the Texas toast was great for getting every drop.
I then broke tradition and went with a beef sandwich. The meat was pre-sauced (a no no in my book) and chunked. However I don't regret the choice as it was meaty, moist and a great sandwich.
The sliced brisket had a large smoke ring. It made me wonder if there was chemical involved in creating that smoke (you don't smell smoke when you walk up to the restaurant making me suspect). While not great, it was perfectly fine. The mac and cheese was quite good.
So if you are ever in Miami and want a drink and some cue....take a look at Pride and Joy. Definitely work the appetizer menu and go from there.
You can always find this place packed on a weekend night and sometimes they host parties that you can't get into, but other than that happening every once in a while this is the venue New York to be. They have nice upstairs and down stairs area.
