Came here with a very large group and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly our food was prepared and how tasty everything was! I ordered eggs over easy, turkey bacon and grits. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was nice and crisp. My guests ordered fried conch, which was golden brown and tender, but the highlight was the shrimp and waffles! It was so good, I ordered a side of shrimp to go! This is a very casual, Caribbean/soul food restaurant. The food is good and our service was excellent. Can't wait to go back! read more

Came back again- this time I brought my sister visiting from California. I was so sure she'd be pleased, unfortunately, we didn't get the same eating pleasure that I got from my first visit! This time, we showed up around 2pm, the oxtails were cooked- so she ordered the oxtails and grits, I ordered the shrimp and grits. Can I tell you how disappointed I was?!? This plate of shrimp and grits, the cream sauce looked like it had been reheated from frozen in the microwave. It looked a little curdled. I'm always down for an adventure- so I ate it. The taste wasn't bad, it just wasn't really good. Sad to say- it was mid at best. Plus, the shrimp still had the tails on. Imagine that! My sister said the oxtails weren't cooked enough- she had to cut the meat off the bones. Hopefully this was just a really off day. Based on my first experience, maybe I should stick to morning visits.. but I'm sure I'll return. read more

okay so listen the food was good, i was full my biggest downside was it did take 45 minutes to get our order out and it maybe might have been a random system error but we did wait with good music just wished the kitchen ran a bit smoother. Overall The food was good i just wished they threw some other cajun and garlic in the eggs or grits they came cheesy for sure and they tasted good simple but with some cajun powder on the chicken and a bit more seasoning i would of given 4 stars even with the long wait. Regardless the staff was nice it was not a lounge environment just a typical breakfast place with loud music (which was good) and tables. But for the wait i wanted some more seasoning but their prices are very good and the food portion is good so you know what I'll come back just throw some cajun for ya girl. The hot sauce packet for my grits did do some wonders but the chicken would hit so much more w more seasoning! Can't lie tho i left wanted to try the fried biscuits because they give more beignet dessert vibes but with the wait being long i'll just come another time and see what's up! Worth your money though we paid 24 dollars w drinks for 2 people, and nowadays breakfast even at ihop is about 30 dollars why not support a local business and get a bang for your buck better than a chain that does not care about anything other can customer turnover in and out rather than quality read more

Go at your own risk, but rest assure you might not want to go on your lunch break. I ordered breakfast on my break it was fried snapper, grits and potatoes. First of all it took 50 minutes yes 50 minutes. Once my food was ready you would think they would apologize for the wait NOPE. They handed me my food and got me out of there immediately before other customers heard my complaints. Then the snapper omg the snapper was old and hard. In 5O minutes they could have caught a fresh fish and cooked it. Just horrible and I'm definitely showing yall a picture of this old fish. I thank god i didn't get sick. 1 out of 10 I would not recommend read more

Soul Food time!! I was visiting the area and I was looking for some soul food so I found this place online and checked it out. I ordered the catfish sweet potatoes and macaroni and cheese. The sweet potato had some type of seasoning on it that I do did not too much care for. But other than that everything else was really good. The customer service was great the ladies at the counter were very friendly and giving me their personal opinion of what to order on the menu since it was my first time. Definitely worth you stopping by if you want some soul food and you are in the Miami area. All the food is at a good price point as well. read more

First time trying this and I must say the grilled pork chops were top tier. Pork chops were seasoned to the bone, so amazing. The rice of the day was elite, just wish I added gravy on top and that would've set it over the top. Mac and cheese was decent, but still fresh and hot. But the grilled pork chops were the star of the show, can't wait to go back. 8.7 out of 10 read more

Wow. Just wow. This food exceeded all expectations. Flavorful! Large portions! Seasoned to the T! Oxtail & grits 10/10! Oxtail was fall of the bone tender and cooked traditionally in Caribbean spices. They put plenty of gravy! and the grits were the perfect accompaniment. I've never paired the two before but it was delicious. Shrimp & grits 10/10! Creamy, cheesy and well seasoned. They were generous with the shrimp and portions overall. 10/10 recommend and will be returning to try more items from the menu. read more

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!! I am literally writing this with oxtails on my fingers that's how goomuch this review can't wait! I ordered through a delivery service and everything arrived quickly and still hot!

Listen I hate to do a black owned business like this but it's has been atleast 3 incons times where I came and my food wasn't right! I ordered catfish and grilled porkchops both with grits and eggs!! the catfish was very very soggy and it was supposed to be fried! the pork chops were very bland and dry! the grits and eggs were ok. the last time me and my girl came it was the same things happening with our proteins on the plates!! I love ikrave but we gotta do better man!! Everytime should be the same result! All the food should taste the same everytime you order it!! read more

My last day in Miami and my friend decided to finally take me here as it's 1 of his fav spots to buy food from when he's in town. Small spot to just grab food and go. I was craving oxtail and decided to try. Now I will say the oxtail and collared greens were all seasoned and flavored well. But it was dangerously salty. Like heart attack lol. I had a slight hangover and was super hungry so i I still tore it up but they def need to work on that. The mac was delicious He loves the food so I figure it was an off day. The young lady behind the register was super friendly and helpful. I'll be back to give it another shot. read more

When I first had I crave, it was unbelievable. Something that I would never forget again and then when I went back, it was the same thing. I crave taste amazing from the shrimp and grits fish grits to the chicken dinner. Everything there tastes amazing taste fire fresh real soul, food, good collard greens good candy yams everything is fire. You can't forget about that flop that flopper legendary for sure. The vibes in there match the service and there is even better because again They sit down and walk you through everything and make sure that you know what is what and who is who because I crave keep doing what you're doing move to a new location was great. It's nice to be in there. read more

If you like lemon pepper then this is your place. Lemon pepper seasoning is heavily used on your fries. I feel like I should be give the option of sal and pepper of the mystery seasoning with lemon Pepper.completely put a bad taste in my mouth. Restaurant and restrooms were dirty. I think they only clean when they are closing because someone started sweeping. Also call before you come because the hours online doesn't not match. Food is over hyped read more

Chicken is insanely crispy, tasty, cooked perfectly. The macaroni and cheese surprisingly had peppers in it. The green beans were mush and oddly vinegary. But the collard greens...holy hell those were the best I have ever tasted. Flavor, crispness and the meat inside those collard greens melted in your mouth. I would order this again. They have a lot of choices for side dishes so I will be exploring other options! read more

iKrave - The Dark and Lovely - Southern Near Me - Miami, Florida

This was our 2nd visit in 2 months, and they're solid. Both times, we've ordered a variety of items. Fried shrimp, smothered pork chops, fried chicken, grilled salmon, & oxtails. Various sides too, greens/yams/fries, etc. The food was good both visits. The service was pleasant as well. The music is also a nice touch. I'd come back and recommend others to try them out too. read more

I came to Miami in search of a good soul food place. iKrave was questionable at first - however - I love to try for myself. The owner greeted us. I ordered the Dark & Lovely with macaroni, collards and rice. Everything was SEASONED to perfection! Portions were great. I was truly satisfied. The owner refused to serve us macaroni he said wasn't ready or warm enough. The respect he gave us to be honest was very pleasing. The environment is very friendly and welcoming. I loved the food. read more

Support local business'(; This place has the best chicken and waffles in Miami. I ordered a quick little Togo order and even then the quality doesn't disappoint. I got a small Raspberry tea, the Exotic Fruity pebble Waffle with chicken strips, a Salmon croquette and some Strawberry Banana pudding for dessert. The Raspberry tea.. ughhhh so good. Not too sweet and super refreshing. Wish I would've went with the large. The Fruity pebble waffle and chicken strips never miss. (I've tried the Red velvet ones too and this one is my fav). The waffles are sooooo fluffy. They drizzle some kind of frosting on it so you don't really got to add syrup but I did anyway :P the chicken strips were perfectly crispy and tender. But the both of them together just makes the perfect combo. If you're feeling something sweet&savory, I recommend. The salmon croquette looks more like a thick salmon patty. Strong fishy smell and taste but it tastes pretty good. The Strawberry Banana pudding was the cherry on top. I like it more than the regular banana pudding because it has that tarty touch to it creating a nice balance. I was able to see the inside when I picked up my food and it looks super chill with cozy booths. Love the neon light signs and the music. The cashier was welcoming. A great spot to enjoy some soul food and nostalgic tunes. The prices are super affordable as well. I can definitely see myself bringing my kids here :) They loveeeeeee tasty food 10/10 read more

I read reviews before deciding to eat here, so instead of ordering through UberEats or DoorDash like I normally would, I decided to go directly to the restaurant and that was the best decision I could have made. I ordered the oxtails with 2 sides (collard greens and Mac-n-cheese) and the chicken and waffles. There was about a 15 minute wait after ordering but totally worth it because the food was hot and still warm even after I made it back to my hotel. The Mac and cheese and collard greens were some of my favorites from a restaurant. Flavorful and I was sad when they were all gone. The oxtails were good but they could have been cooked a little longer because I had to pull a bit to get the meat off the bone. The fried chicken was seasoned and good but I could have done without the waffle and they messed up and didn't give me the pieces I ordered. Tip - use cash. They charge extra if you decide to use your card and I wasn't warned in advance. All in all, I'll definitely be back! read more

I have been coming to iKrave since they first opened in my neighborhood in 2018. I have to say out of all the times in the years I have ate here I have only had a issue once with them because they used boxed mashed potatoes instead of fresh (never had this issue again maybe they were out of mash that particular day and had to wing it), other than that their food is always cooked perfectly, flavorful and delicious with top tier service to match. My staple here is the oxtail grits... MUST TRY there is absolutely nothing like it!! read more

My partner and I visited during a long layover as the spot is not far from the airport. The restaurant itself is small and seats less than 20 ppl if I had to guess. The staff was friendly and let us take our time ordering. They offer dine in, delivery, and carry out. The oxtails absolutely walked on water! They were served with creamy cheese grits and were seasoned and piping hot. We also had the fried conch and fried snapper with macaroni. Everything was delicious and I can't forget the light and refreshing watermelon drink that was like a flavored lemonade. The server, Quinisha, even helped us navigate the city during our short stay. I highly recommend this place for some authentic soul food and I hope I can return again, really soon read more

Love iKrave! I've tried everything on their menu and have no complaints about anything. The breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts are always good. I had to slow down on ordering because I was gaining more weight than I wanted because the food is so good. The ambiance is a basic diner style. Can definitely see it having more of a lounge style in the future, but then no one would leave. Highly recommend!!! read more

This place was amazing . So me and my friends were vacationing and decided to take a Uber to the location based off of a recommendation from a friend . We got dropped off at the wrong location by the Uber . We actually went to the IKrave sun shop . Needless to say when we told the manager he called the owner and can you believe the owner drove us over to the correct location . We we're so appreciative when we got to the restaurant it was spotless , no weird food smells clean as a whistle , and the food was better than what I have had in Houston.(Houston food is hit or miss I said what I said ) I ordered the oxtail rice and greens . My other friends had the fried chicken which looked so good's. I ended up ordering another plate to go of oxtail . Overall it was all worth and anytime I'm in Miami it will be on my list read more

It was raining cats and dogs outside.. But it was going down inside of IKrave. First little get away with Daddy. Trying to keep busy and this really hit the spot. Not only are we going to meet my Dads cousin from Miami,we are having a spectacular lunch.. Virgil ordered the large Oxtails and Grits for he and my Daddy. Cousin Guss wanted a small Oxtails and Grits. Let me just say... They didn't skimp on the food. The plate was completely covered. These Oxtails were tender and quite tasty... Best I've had yet.. I ordered Chicken and Waffles. Now the chicken and waffles, were taken to a whole nother level. The waffles were not to sweet and thick. The mixture was just right!It was very light, covered with powdered sugar and provided a nice cushion for the perfectly pieces of fried chicken. I got water with lemon and the guys got the sweet stuff.(Lemonade and fruit punch) I opted to wait on the strawberry shortcake cupcakes! (Sorry they were so good I I got rid of the evidence quickly!

One time from Liberty City!!! Yes this is where I'm from in Miami born and raised so anything in the city as we would say i will support. I've been hearing about this spot for about a year and everytime I'm home, there's always a reason why i haven't come here. Maybe it slipped my mind maybe i was tired and didn't want to deal with Miami traffic or i just wasn't on this end of town. Oh oh oh today tho is my day!! My wife and had an Airbnb in lil Haiti for the weekend and we were approximately 1.6miles away from IKrave So we head there Saturday during brunch hours and it's right in a spot I'm very familiar with so it wasn't hard to find. Sidenote: definitely back in when you park the parking lot is small and most cars are here for IKrave and folks block you in about this food so be mindful how you park champ. We slide in and there's a small crowd of folks with most getting food to go, so we grab a spot a the bar. Menu was nice and vast i didn't even look to be honest i knew what i wanted oxtails and cheese grits . My wife ordered grilled chicken with a waffle. She said the chicken was amazing and was well seasoned. She flipped her plate lol quickly My food was so damn good i bite my lip twice tender oxtails and grits mice and creamy no lumps at all. The vibe was cool gave me a vibe as it I was chilling at my uncle's house music playing laughter and good food. The food was so good we came back Sunday right before we hit the road and ran it all back again I really like this joint and will be back in May when i come back with the fellas. read more
