Drive thru restaurant with limited outside seating available. Ordered chicken and beef empanadas as well as an order (4) croquettes. The empanadas were awesome. Light, flakey pastry with plenty of meat and peppers inside. The croquettes were just ok. I go to Miami regularly so maybe I'm a little biased. You do have a to wait a bit but you know they're fresh and not been sitting around. read more

Fast, delicious, good. I normally get two meals out of a Cuban. It's not like anything in Miami, however I swing by here anytime I'm in the area for lunch. read more

A real gem! I have never seen another restaurant in the US offering a croquette sandwich! If you know how much work goes into making croquettes you know this is special. The ham croquettes are fried in corn meal and a taste amazing. Order them alone or better in a pressed sandwich here! Ask them to hold the ketchup and mustard and use just mayo instead. Trust me as a Cuban growing up this is how we ate these. I ordered the deluxe croquette sandwich which combines it with ham and cheese. My only issue is the ham and cheese were cold. Removed. Skipping those as everything is better hot and melty with Cuban sandwiches. The fried plantains were wonderful. Ask for salt to salt these babies! We Cubans love our salted food! It's too hot to eat outside right now but the place has a great retro look and is meant for drive through and pick up. Now I need to keep driving across GA to eat this wonderful food! read more

This was a really fabulous lunch. I wish I lived closer and I would come here all the time. I absolutely believe the Cuban sandwich was the best one I've ever had. The meat was perfectly seasoned tender and juicy. I love the bread as well. It was Cuban bread that had a crispiness to it but it was also soft. They balance those two perfectly so that you didn't have to tear off bites with your teeth but a provided a great texture as well. They gave a perfect assortment of condiments and pickles on the sandwich too and the fries were very good. The price was also super cheap so it's one of the best values you can find as well. Lastly, they were also very fast. I love that they have a drive-thru that you can hit and keep going when you're in a hurry but don't have to settle for chain fast food. If I'm in the area I'm definitely stopping by again. read more

Surprisingly good Cuban food from a drive through hut. Food Rundown: Empanadas - chicken ones were a little dry, as were the beef, but the guava cheese were alright. Cuban Sandwich - Delicious! Cuban Style Roast Chicken - Bland dish, nothing to write home about. Flan - perfection! It was dense and creamy. Tres Leche cake - We could eat 2 of them, so good. Despite us ordering a large order via drive-thru, we received it within 10 minutes. The staff was extremely friendly. We will definitely be returning for dessert! read more

So I frequent the business next door on weekends and this place was always closed, then I actually read about Cuban Cafe and well it's open M-F, come to find out they use the place for catering on weekends. Went for lunch, the lady taking the order was super helpful, explained everything on the menu and just had a wonderful positive attitude. I got a Cuban sandwich with two sides, rice and beans. The sandwich was wonderful and both sides were excellent, only wish, I wanted an extra pickle slice on my sandwich, otherwise so awesome. I did try the fried plantains and chicken empanadas and both were excellent. I really couldn't recommend this establishment more. Note on the seating, it's all outside, there are several tables with umbrellas so if it's windy or raining get it to go like I did. read more

Cuban Cafe - Take out, half a Cuban with rice and beans. - Sandwiches Near Me - Flowery Branch, Georgia

All of the food I ordered was amazing! The Cuban sandwich was my favorite and my son loved the kids bowl.

Cuban Cafe in Flowery Branch (Oakwood) opened up shortly ago and they hit the Cuban sandwich spot!! I typically like to tag the locations but I don't see them on social media yet Pictured here is their MEDIA NOCHE sandwich (roasted pork, smoked ham, swiss cheese, pickles and mustard) and their CROQUETTE sandwich along with a chicken and beef empanadas. Both empanadas pair up very well with their cilantro sauce but I preferred the chicken empanada, very flavorful. They also have a pink sauce available if that's what you prefer. Cuban sandwiches can sometimes suffer of dryness but not at this spot! Their roasted pork was so tender and juicy, it took care of that issue I normally find with these type of sandwiches. The bread was perfectly pressed and easy to eat. Some may think the sandwich is smaller than the usual Cuban sandwich but for 10 bucks, $12 if you elect to have a meal with a side and a drink, this is a delicious steal of a meal. Their dining area is outside with some nice umbrellas and music (no indoor) so it may be difficult with this heat wave we've had lately but even with the heat, I was very happy. You'll get all your goodies in a big ol brown shopping bag so just place your order at the window, grab your drink and sit down for some good Cuban food! They do have a drivethru if you elect to skip the whole heat thing but why not pretend like it's just Cuban heat!! By the way... side of french fries, rice and plantains were all delicious although I wish I had cheese to go along with my platanos Check them out and help support our local small food businesses!! #rolieats #goodeats #goodfood #rolireview #cubanfood #cubansandwich #medianoche #croquette #croquettesandwich #empanadas #dinner #newfoodbusiness #flowerybranch #happybelly read more

Empanadas are all served with a white garlic sauce. Delicious! $3 each. Woman at service counter is friendly and the food comes out hot and quickly. Also Empanadas are good large size, not like these pathetic small ones I see often at other restaurants. read more

What a pleasant surprise! My husband and I just stumbled upon them. We love Cuban cuisine, having spent some time in Miami. The restaurant was once a Checkers that they converted. So Drive Up Cuban sandwiches! What a great idea! The sandwiches were bountiful. Actually, I only ate half so that I could enjoy the maduros and the fresh made guava and cheese empanadas. (We watched them being fresh fried.) And I will enjoy the other for lunch tomorrow. We have found a new favorite. read more

Hidden gem is right! Always saw it from the exit 16 exit, but was heading for golf in the early am. Finally remembered to try it out one day. Had the Cuban. What a great sandwich! And enough for 2! I've been back each week since and also tried the large, manly burger.... great as well! Do yourself a favor when you are hankering for a great sandwich! ps, The staff are great and very friendly. Like family. read more

Absolutely amazing version of the best sandwich that ever was, the Cuban. I'm from Tampa, the home of the Cuban... and the Tampa Cuban. When I opened up Yelp and saw the Cuban Cafe, had to try it. I'm so glad I did. One sandwich would feed 2 people for lunch or 1 person all day. Every element of this sandwich was on point. The cafe is clean and bright. The people are wonderful. read more

I found this gem while grandpuppy sitting at my son & DIL's home in Oakwood. It's new only open about 6 weeks. Read the few reviews and that's all I needed. Ordered the Cuban sandwich and quite frankly is the best I've ever had! The pork was juicy, ham perfection, bread crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Perfect! Going for my second one today before heading home tomorrow. Will visit this restaurant every time I'm at my son & DIL's! They can't wait to try it and I'm sure will become regulars. read more

We went there for the first time yesterday and were so impressed with both the friendliness of the person taking and filling our order and then by the food. I have been a devotee of Cuban food for over six decades. This is one of the best Cuban restaurants I have encountered north of Ybor city. It was so good, that I returned today with my husband and we tried some different things. Everything is delicious from the fried plantains to the croquettes to the Rope Viejo. Great food and great service. I highly recommend read more

Surprisingly good! I have driven by many times as my favorite Mexican restaurant is next door, but never stopped in. I wished I had stopped in sooner. So far I've had the Cuban sandwich, plantains, and the chicken empanadas. The Cuban was delicious and more than a meal on its own. It was packed with roasted pork, generous amounts of ham. So far this is my favorite. The plantains were good, they were a little different than what I was expecting but still tasty and my go to side. I had never had empanadas so I thought that I would give it a try. They weren't my favorite but were still good. I think that with some green salsa they would be much better. The service was fast and the staff was friendly. I look forward to trying many of the other menu items. read more

This is the real deal for a great Cuban sandwich with fried plantains! Friendly folks & great service!

We just relocated from south Florida. We ordered Croqueta Preparada and Pan con bistec. It was authentic and delicious. It was lunch time but after experiencing the taste and quality we ordered food to take home for dinner (ajiaco and empanadas). You wait a little because it is cooked to order therefore fresh. This place is an unassuming gem!! read more
