✅ Dine-in - ✅ Takeout

Fire up your appetite as you eat to your heart's content at Flama Brazilian Steakhouse, South Dade's own rodízio-style experience in the heart of Naranja.

This newcomer, opened in 2021, brings an authentic taste of Brazil through continuous tableside service of sizzling meats and a gourmet salad bar offering a fresh selection of vegetables, fruits, and grains in various hues to enhance each meaty serving.

On the menu, you'll find a lavish spread of cuts like picanha, lamb chops, pork loin, and flank steak, alongside Brazilian favorites such as grilled pineapple, cheese bread, and fried bananas, made even better with a mini culinary tour of shrimp ceviche, quinoa salad, black beans, farofa, cheeses, and cold cuts.

A first-timer? Don't skip on Flama's signature picanha, expertly trimmed top sirloin cap; galeto, a wine-and-herb-marinated chicken thigh with delightfully crispy edges; and bife com alho, a flavorful and tender garlic-basted steak.

Enjoy a lively, interactive feast where you're at the center of the action at Flama Brazilian Steakhouse!

Shiver's BBQ

✅ Dine-in - ✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery

A barbecue isn't just a barbecue, especially if it's from Shiver's BBQ, a delicious Homestead legacy of slow-smoking meats and a cornerstone of South Dade's comfort food scene along the pastoral streets of Naranja.

Serving your favorite comfort food the old-school way for over 60 years, this family-owned smokehouse is all about tradition, with pitmasters who know patience is the secret ingredient to an unforgettable BBQ spread.

Here, you'll find slow-smoked brisket, juicy pulled pork, racks of ribs, smoky chicken, and sausage links that taste like they came straight off a backyard grill, alongside equally legendary side dishes like creamy mac and cheese, cheesy hash brown casserole, collard greens, and those addictive corn nuggets that complete the soul-food feast.

Looking for something over-the-counter? Order the "Squealing BBQ Potato Skins" — it's stuffed, smothered, and absolutely sinful!

Enjoy an edible legacy of nostalgia, flavor, and grit at Shiver's BBQ, the best of South Dade on a plate!
