This eatery practically shares a parking lot with Long John Silvers on Oakland Park Boulevard just…read moreWest of I-95 and east of 441. It's easy to find and has lots of parking. The restaurant seats more than 50. It's sleek with lots of black and red (to match its name). Except for one other table, it was practically empty on a Wednesday evening. Our first waitress was friendly. She brought our beverages and took our orders. After that, we got a different young lady. She also was cordial. (But got a bit testy when I went to find her so we could pay the check and leave.) We got the smothered chicken, smothered pork, fried chicken, three beverages, and two desserts. Let's start with the desserts. The peach cobbler crust was a bit thick and the peaches tasted like they were from a can. The red velvet cake was mediocre. Definitely not specially made. Now the sides. The corn bread was perfect. The red velvet corn bread was a treat. The greens were good. The rice was soaked in gravy. The yams were way too sweet. The entrees were the standout. The chicken only comes in wings. Nevertheless, they were seasoned and fried well, had a light breading, and were meaty. The pork chops were moist and savory. The smothered dishes weren't really smothered and could have used some more gravy, which lacked onions. But that didn't stop us from thoroughly enjoying them. Dinner for 3 with 3 beverages, 3 entrees, 2 desserts, tax, and tip was about $110. We hope to return and try the catfish, the turkey, and the liver and onions. P.S. A small group came in while we were eating and one of the diners was vaping. Isn't that illegal in restaurants? I was hoping the management would stop him. But he was there for about the last 15-20 minutes of our meal and continued to vape a few feet away from us.

The venue itself is cozy, and every time I visit, it's packed with a line of people waiting--which speaks for itself. I truly hope they continue to grow and have the opportunity to expand.

The staff is attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell they genuinely care about the experience. What really sets this place apart is chef E.J. ; The dishes just keep coming, and every single one hits. The cornbread alone is worth the visit--hands down the best I've ever had. Sweet and savory, perfectly soft, and just melts in your mouth. It's the kind of dish you end up talking about long after you leave. I also tried one of the night specials, the jerk chicken pasta, and it was flawless. Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and packed with flavor without being overwhelming. Honestly, I have zero negative remarks. Everything--from service to food to atmosphere--was dialed in. 10/10. I'll definitely be back.

I wanted to support a black owned business and hear some jazz while in Florida, so I found this place. The host was a gorgeous man with dreads who let me know that since I didn't have a reservation I would be at the bar. I didn't mind and made friends with the girl next to me. There were mostly couples there but the saxophonist, Ross was great. The drinks were strong and the food I ordered was good. The only downside was how long the food took, but I would come back if in Florida again. I enjoyed myself and would recommend for people looking for a date night location or a more upscale experience who appreciate jazz. I also met one of the owners Kedan, who was very cute.

Everyone who spoke to me looked me straight in the eyes. To a soul each person was polite, friendly, and helpful, and personable. Honestly, I haven't been treated like this in a restaurant in ages, maybe ever. But that was just the beginning! All guests are offered complimentary lemonade, and trust me, you want it. It's yummy. I had thought I'd just grab to-go, but when the staff asked and I looked around at the rustic homey setting, I decided to stay. So glad I did! As I would discover food like this is best enjoyed with other people around. Plus it was a pleasure to see how the staff treated each diner and delivery driver with respect and kindness. After some time with the menu, I decided on Brisket and Two Meats, ordering mixed brisket, pork, and chicken. It came with fried cornbread and two sides. I wanted to try more sides so in addition to potato salad and collard greens, I ordered black eyed peas, and sweet yams. Good heavens what a delicious meal! The brisket was so tender and moist. Truly the best I've ever had. The pork was chunked up and very tasty. And the chicken had a great char. Once I'd tasted everything, and realized it could all stand alone with no sauces, I added the bbq sauces. After all that's what I came for, and wow did Lickie Stickie deliver! One bbq sauce is a red sauce with wine - insanely good on the brisket, and the other is sweet and tangy with mustard - delicious on the chicken. Both are perfect! The pork could go either way. I liked the red on it. The sides were all tasty. Collards are a favorite of mine and these were quite good. The yams were delightful. The potato salad was good. The food was a very big portion. I ate til I was full and took home two very full containers of food. My first bite of the evening was the black-eyed peas. It was my first bite and my favorite bite all evening. Now, that in no way diminishes the utter deliciousness of all the rest of Chef Lynette's cooking. My eyes repeatedly rolled back in my head this whole meal., But it does tell you how much I loved those black-eyed peas. They had okra and turkey in them and they were beyond excellent. Food like this only comes from love. Go get ya some!

The love and light…read morethat lives in Chef Juliette truly trickles down through her staff and shows up in every detail of the service. No matter when I visit, it's always a warm, hospitable experience--honestly reminiscent of The Ritz-Carlton. Surrounding businesses could learn a great deal from them. I first met Chef Juliette during a visit from DC in September 2025. My best friend introduced us, and immediately I felt the love of a mother and the passion of a seasoned chef who genuinely loves what she does. And that passion? It translates directly through the food. A few weeks ago, I was back in town visiting again, and the energy was exactly the same. We stopped by to pick up a catering order for an event, and Chef Juliette sent us off with pork chop sandwiches so big--and so good--I barely touched the catering food that day (thank goodness for to-go boxes and a freezer). I was able to bring back BBQ chicken, ribs, and the "Turn It Up Rice"--which is out of this world. Perfectly cooked rice layered with crisp vegetables, shrimp, chicken, and brisket... smoky, flavorful, and such a creative spin on fried rice. Then, the day after, Chef invited us back for a VIP experience--and when I say the love is real, y'all... it's real! She prepared a savory seafood étouffée enriched with shrimp and lobster, served over creamy polenta--an elevated take on traditional shrimp and grits. Paired with fresh-baked buttermilk biscuits, sausage from her brother in Georgia, and perfectly crispy bacon... everything was divine. The kind of meal that evokes emotion--the kind that makes you feel genuinely cared for. The restaurant itself feels cozy and welcoming--rich with history and personality. Every time I visit, I discover a new layer of her story which is told along the walls and decor. Chef Juliette is truly something special. If you're ever in the Pompano or Fort Lauderdale area, do yourself a favor and visit Lickie Stickie! And don't leave without trying the baked beans and black-eyed peas--Chef puts okra in them, and I don't want them any other way ever again. Outstanding.

I'm still dreaming about those Girl Scout Thin Mint-inspired pancakes. They were unbelievably delicious, and the portion was huge , perfect for sharing with the table.

For our main dishes, we tried two different types of Benedict: the short rib and the crab cake. Both were excellent, but the short rib Benedict edged out just a bit with its rich, savory flavors. That said, the crab cake Benedict did not disappoint either which they were generous with the crab, and it tasted incredibly fresh. Our cocktails were just as good as the food and made the whole brunch experience even better. The perfect weekend brunch vibe. Can't wait to go back!
