Apocalypse BBQ to expand at Kendall Village Plaza

/in , , , /by

Miami, Florida – 27 January 2025 – NAI Miami | Fort Lauderdale is proud to announce the expansion of Apocalypse BBQ owned by Jeff Budnechky. Represented by Joe Gallaher, Valentina Tawil, and Jeremy S. Larkin, the concept will be expanding to the freestanding building at 8695 SW 124th Avenue, Miami, FL 33183, located in Kendall Village Plaza, owned by Berkowitz Development Group.

Apocalypse BBQ, known for its bold flavors and authentic smoked meats, will double its size to 4,500 square feet from their current space at Killian Greens Golf Club on March 1st, 2025. “We heard you guys [social media fans] loud and clear,” said Budnechky. “Can’t tell you how many comments I read and how many people told us, ‘We need a bigger space’.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Apocalypse BBQ to Kendall Village Center,” said Berkowitz. “They join a dynamic mix of retail, restaurant and entertainment offerings, and we look forward to welcoming their diehard fans.”

The new location will feature outdoor space for expanded production, a larger kitchen, an expansive dining area, and a full bar. Designed by Chris Vidal and Brett Serfozo of Gershen & Associates, the project is undergoing a comprehensive approval process with expertise provided by Paulina Begliomini with PB Restaurant Partners and legal guidance provided by Graham Penn at Bercow Radell Fernandez Larkin and Tapanes.

“With external wood smokers being essential to the Apocalypse brand, we had a real challenge finding a space in Kendall that was zoned appropriately and had a landlord willing to provide outdoor space for the increased production,” said Gallaher. “Thankfully, with Jeff’s infectious positivity, the right opportunity became available in the heart of where he wanted to be. Not only was the space ideal but the Berkowitz family were incredibly wonderful to work with.”

The location will eventually include an expanded smoking area, doubling the number of smokers essential to Apocalypse BBQ’s signature flavor and supporting the larger footprint.

“NAI Miami | Fort Lauderdale ensured our client achieved the best possible outcome despite challenges,” said Tawil. “Like Jeff stated in his video, ‘We got something big for you.’”
