KUSH was almost missed out on my trip and I am so glad I didn’t miss it. On the last full day of my Miami trip, it came up again as an option and this time, we jumped at it and we do not regret it. Kush in Brickell was my favorite spot of the trip for food. We didn’t eat large, sharing multiple appetizers, but all 3 we had were excellent: alligator strips, bang bang shrimp, and chili cheese fries. All 3 appetizers were 10/10. The alligator strips were delicious with the two sauces they were served with. The bang bang shrimp was delicious with old bay seasoning on the plate. The chili cheese fries were the best I ever had. The chili was so good. The service was also excellent and attentive at all times even though it was lunch time and there were other people in the establishment. The whole vibe and atmosphere were excellent overall. Our server was fantastic, the food was fantastic, and I loved the theme of the restaurant and the funny memorabilia and sayings on the wall.
The fact that Kush Hospitality resurrected and paid tribute to Tobacco Road in this fashion is not to be overlooked. Everything about this place is five stars, and the way that it is decorated is ridiculously dope. My bartender was Tina, who was such a sweetheart. I even made a piece of art for her. I thoroughly enjoyed my Death Burger, and my non-alcoholic cocktail, and I really enjoyed making art while I was hanging out there. I will definitely be back and I definitely would recommend.
Returned after 6 years and both food and the service is still spot on! Great cocktails, nice burgers and excellent key lime pie. Definitely visiting again during my next trip to Miami.
Tina was amazing. You know why? Before we even complained, she already knew the food was late. When she brought our dishes, she said, "I know this is not our standard, this one is on us." That is real hospitality. It is nice to see that someone in Miami still truly understands what hospitality means in America. Thank you, Tina, and thank you Kush Hospitality for working with real professionals.
Total waste of time and money. We came here expecting a decent Brickell pub experience and got the opposite. The food was terrible, overcooked, and took forever to come out, like they forgot about us. The service was even worse, especially from the two male waiters. They messed up our order, seemed completely lost, and had no clue what they were doing. The worst part was that they noticed our group was international, so they added dishes we never ordered, basically padding the bill. That’s not confusion, that’s shady. Hope the owner realize that the customers are being scammed in his restaurant And the signature burger was a joke. It had massive chunks of guava in it. It honestly felt like the chef was high on Kush or drunk because nothing about it made sense. Not in a million years am I coming back. Do yourself a favor and don’t go, this place doesn’t deserve to be in Brickell.
Walking down the strip in Brickell there are a ton of options. Kush was perfect. Kush stood out for its menu and divey ambiance, and was also recommended by the hostess at Moxie. TL;DR we were blown away by our experience. The service was amazing- Sergio and Savanah, thank you for making us feel so welcome. The bartenders were attentive, chill, and poured perfectly delicious drinks. The food- don't underestimate this place. Best ribs I've ever had: three day brine, delicious and tender, meat falling perfectly off the bone. The sauces were on point - try the Spicy Maple BBQ. The burger was solid and the brine wings were perfectly crispy and juicy at the same time. Loved it. 10/10 would recommend.
Finally, a chill neighborhood pub with fantastic service that pours reasonably strong cocktails and actually knows how to make a proper plate of nachos (perfect goop to chip ratio)! Their Alligator bites were great too!
