What People Say
Most Liked
The Mahi Mahi Sandwich steals the spotlight with its rich flavors and fresh ingredients, winning over many guests. The impressive selection of craft beers and lively cocktail offerings keep the drinks flowing and the good times rolling. The friendly atmosphere, coupled with attentive service, consistently receives praise from visitors. The karaoke nights and trivia events add a fun twist, giving patrons a platform to showcase their hidden talents or test their knowledge. Picnic tables outside offer a casual, relaxed dining experience where groups can gather and enjoy the Miami weather while savoring delectable bites. With such vibrant, welcoming energy, it’s hard not to feel a sense of belonging.

Most Disliked
While Barracuda has many redeeming qualities, a few aspects might deter some visitors. The bustling nature, especially during peak hours, can lead to longer wait times for food and service. Those looking for a quieter dining experience may find the noise levels overwhelming during events and game days. Some guests mention that it can get quite crowded, making it difficult to find seating, particularly on weekends when popularity peaks. Additionally, a few customers have noted that certain dishes can run out during busy service, leading to limited options. The take-out experience, while satisfactory, differs significantly from the lively ambiance enjoyed on-site, as the psychedelic decor and community spirit don't translate through takeout containers.

All around a great spot! Very welcoming environment and service! The food had good flavor and was great! They offer so really unique drinks! The atmosphere is psychedelic with painted walls and black lights. Very fun! Also really loved that they had a pool table to play while you waited for your meal. I would definitely come back!

This place is so cool! I immediately regretted that I opted for take out! The environment is a whole vibe that has arrived! The bar food is EXACTLY what we were looking for, and that key lime pie is next level!! Honestly, what I love above all of that- and what probably makes the food even that much better- is the service! I wish I knew our persons name to be mentioned, but they were SO great in making sure we had everything we needed, including utensils! Should be a basic with take out, but it’s not! So it’s great when that shows up with a genuine delivery of “we really want to make sure your food experience is great, here or there!” The security staff were attentive to make sure that I was comfortable leaving there by foot and offered to help me with an uber. Tonight’s choice was made because we forgot to make time for supper! LOL! But it was wholly the right choice!

What a great hole in wall in the heart of Coconut Grove, nestled in a pedestrian only street. 52 taps and great seafood menu. Order at the bar. The rustic nautical interior is very different than lively exterior with the cute awnings featuring "barracuda teeth" , pink picnic tables & thatch umbrellas.

Really nice dive bar in the neighborhood. I wasn't sure at first if the food was gonna be good so I asked. And I was not disappointed with my order. I ordered the Mahi Mahi sandwich and it was really good. The waffle fries were also good. So so good!

Loved this tap room in Coconut Grove, amazing selection of beers, and really helpful server, the food was really good as well. 20% discount on HH. Only complaint was no prices advertised for drinks and no itemised bill , just a total cost. Some cool rock tracks playing as well.

Stopped by for lunch and was excited to try! You can play pool, just chill, or watch tv. Lots of comfort foodie and beer options on tap. There’s about 50! We got the snapper sandwich and the blackened mahi mahi on the grill, and then the bird road fries- SO GOOD! Definitely filling foods but enough to get your cravings in.
