    $12.50 Jerk Chicken Lunch Special! Incredible!
    Eric V.

    Talk about Southern hospitality! Most likely the best jerk chicken I have ever had straight off the bbq smoker into a perfectly packaged lunch tray that includes freshly prepared rice & peas w/ a side buttery, still crunchy steamed cabbage & veggies giving the perfect textured bite in combination with the chicken, do not get the sauces on the side just tell them to put it on top for the ultimate flavor experience. MAN THIS PLATE SLAPS!

    Brisket Dinner Plate

    Stumbled on this and thank god we did! There was a little line but the staff was fast and we got to the front in less then 5mins, we ordered a regular pork jerk and a regular brisket both with rice beans and cabbage sos for the spicy sauce. Let me telllll you don't sleep if you are by this area. The staff was friendly and quick and the food was delicious!! The pork was juicy and yummy the rice was so tasty, the cabbbbage was lovely it had all the flavors in there! The best part was the food wasn't omg unbearable spicy, it was a tasteful spice which was reallly pleasant. The price is right and the food is divine. For those two meals we paid $50 plus two waters and a ginger ale. We also shared between 3 people!! My only wish is that this gets recognized and gets to open up in other neighborhoods bc it's worth every single dollar and worth a try!!

    large jerk chicken $21 cabbage $4 spicy sauce

    this is a food truck jamaican spot , super easy to get into and just walk up and order ! first time trying king jerk and it is definitely worth it if you're fine with the higher price point , still delicious food nonetheless. i do wish both dishes came with plantains at least and steaming the cabbage a little more plus flavor. still worth a try ! very nice lady who took my order was patient and fast got my order out in no times ! mac n cheese was interesting not quite jamaican or black ppl mac ! also the sides are $4 but i was charged $10 for two sides , paid about $67

    Jerk Chicken Dinner Plate, Brisket, Oxtail Dinner Plate and side of Mac and Cheese
    Alicia M.

    I called before placing a delivery order and they had everything in stock on a Sunday evening which was pretty exciting!! Service was quick too! Smoked meat = amazing! They truly know how to smoke all different kinds of meat and you feel like you're at the yard in Jamaica, first bite. From first to last in my opinion: 1: Oxtails rice and peas and steamed cabbage- fire, flavorful, spicy but tolerable. If you are eating at a Jamaican restaurant prepare for spice! Everything was perfectly prepared! 2: Brisket - tender, juicy, lean and fatty burnt ends and all. Perfectly cooked and pairs well with their side of bbq sauce and large portion!6 3: Jerk Chicken, sweet potatoes and collard greens. Ok, so I could of passed on this entire plate. Unfortunately the chicken was dried out but edible, and the best part of the plate. The collards were flavorless but had a lot of cayenne pepper on them and 2 slices of sweet potatoes were just boiled and no flavor. 4: mac and cheese. Dried out unfortunately, very hard to find a good moist Mac at bbq spots but it def needs love. (Heavy cream or condensed milk will do the trick!) Overall I will order again, but stick to the oxtails and brisket for now!

When he went in he advised the lady, please make sure there is seafood In there, especially if you are charging $20 for Jute leaves and crabmeat. He went to the bathroom as he waited for his order, as he was coming out she was talking to another gentleman calling him cheap (he didn't want to say anything to prevent trouble). How do you run a business allowing your staff to talk bad about a customer that is disrespectful and unprofessional. He gets home open up his food and finds chicken meat. So he calls the lady up and is like I specifically ask you to make sure there was crabmeat and extra if you can. And she goes I didn't have any so I put chicken meat. He then advised her if he told her he didn't want to order chicken so he order LaLo to get a different meat besides chicken. He advised her why would I want a different meat besides what was cook in my food. The sad part was it wasn't even a whole chicken, it was a crumble piece of chicken (that was just tossed in there) and half the top shell of the crabmeat (just a shell). She then said I didn't have anymore crabmeat and he said you should have advised me so I'm not paying $20 for jute leaves and a crumble chicken meat. He went to the restaurant to get a refund owner refused refund and the owner and staff was disrespectful. If you run your business in scamming people on false advertisement Of your food to gain profit, that's not running a business that's just theft.

    Captain Jim's has the freshest seafood in North Miami…read more We often dine in, but occasionally we've also taken fish or lobsters to grill when tailgating etc., and it's always way better and fresher than what we would have picked up anywhere else. Choosing which lobster or yellowtail from the ice counter you want them to prepare, and how you want it prepared, is a fun part of the dining experience for us. Occasionally they have hog snapper or another fresh catch available. The fried lobster tail was fantastically seasoned with a little kick, and I've never had it prepared this way, chopped up into bite-sized pieces. Very filling and we could have shared one, but we still managed to devour both tails and left very full and satisfied. Each tail, including one side, was about $40 - but market price items vary based on size and weight of what's available that day. There are also plenty of less expensive options on the menu. One of my favorites is the yellowtail sandwich. And if you get there before 7:00pm you can order some oysters and lobster croquettes from the happy hour menu. Captain Jim's is a casual and comfortable restaurant with marine decor where the food is the star. Service is always friendly, helpful, and attentive.

But the star of the show are the Fresh Shucked Oysters. From Virginia and only a $1.25 during Happy Hour, these oysters are delicious and have a different taste than their primos from the Gulf Of Mexico that I grew up on.....delicious nonetheless. The great staff makes dining here a much better experience. You're warmly welcomed and presented with a little bite of Krab Salad as soon as you sit. Happy Hour starts at 4PM and ends at 7PM. Do not miss the opportunity to indulge, it's a nice gateway to the great dinner you'll enjoy.

Much nicer than this one. The Opa Locka location only have a few chairs to sit down to wait for your order. As you walk in you immediately see the order counter. They have their menus on the wall and to go menus on the counter. Nothing special inside. Food: I ordered the shrimp platter that came parsley potatoes and garlic corn. And 6pc lemon pepper wing and fries. The shrimp platter was okay. The wings were ridiculously small. It was $11 for tiny baby wings. They really shouldn't sell no one wings that tiny. I was definitely disappointed when I opened my box. It tasted more like salt & pepper wings rather than lemon pepper. I tasted a bunch of salt. The fries were a bit salty too. Location: Its located in a plaza. Right next door to a Spanish bakery and a banquet hall. The parking is decent but depending on how busy the plaza is you may not get front door parking of course. Customer service: I was greeted immediately when I walked in. It was two people working in the front, a girl and guy, they both was nice. After I ordered, the girl told me it will be about 15-20mins for my food. Which I kinda expected a bit of a wait. Despite the horribleness of the food, the customer service is what made me give this place a 3 star.

    After a full day of work, the last thing I wanted to do was drive across Miami in search of dinner…read more Fortunately, Miami Lakes has its own surprises. One of them is 1910 Restaurant & Bar, a Spanish-inspired restaurant that blends premium steaks, seafood, and a little theatrical flair without losing sight of flavor. The meal opened with an order of Cheese Balls, crisp golden spheres that reminded me of pão de queijo, except they skipped most of the bread and focused almost entirely on the cheese. The exterior shattered pleasantly, giving way to a molten, creamy center. Paired with a pineapple sauce, each bite balanced sweet and salty in exactly the right proportions. My wife ordered the Australian Wagyu Flap Sirloin, a 12-ounce cut grilled over charcoal and served with house-made chimichurri. It was everything you hope Wagyu will be, deeply beefy, wonderfully tender, and rich without becoming overwhelming. The chimichurri added brightness without stealing the spotlight. Then came the dish that first caught my attention. The La Reina de la Casa, or "Queen of the House." At first glance, it almost feels designed for social media, a cheese pizza crowned with an enormous grilled octopus. I would be lying if I said that presentation didn't influence my order. Fortunately, this wasn't style over substance. The pizza itself stood on its own with a crisp crust and generous layer of bubbling cheese. The octopus, however, was the reason to order it. It was expertly grilled, tender without a hint of chewiness, and seasoned with a spice blend the server politely described as the chef's secret. Whatever was in that seasoning deserved to remain a secret, because it transformed an already well-cooked octopus into something memorable. Dessert brought things back to the classics with a crème brûlée. The sugar crust cracked cleanly beneath the spoon, revealing a silky vanilla custard underneath. Simple, elegant, and exactly the ending the meal needed. 1910 could have leaned heavily on flashy presentations and premium ingredients. Instead, it paired both with thoughtful execution. That's a far more difficult trick to pull off. Some restaurants earn attention because they're photogenic. The best ones earn repeat visits because the food is every bit as impressive as the photos.

It's got good food, a friendly…read moreguy cooking it, and my only regret is not coming here first thing in the morning so I could have the freshest pick. One thing about me is I love to have BBQ fresh off the smoker, but I do like that this truck is well equipped to keep everything warm, soft, and juicy. We tried the ribs and they were BUSSIN. Soft and amazing. In my life, I've never had ribs that soft before. They were seriously incredible. The pork sausage, though, was a HIT for me. I'm a girl who loves sausage, any kind, and the way this was so juicy just hit a spot for me. Matter of fact, I'll stop cooking sausages at home and simply come buy them by the pound here. The pulled pork was good. It's my fault for putting Sweet Heat BBQ on it without trying it first because LORD JESUS. I don't know what I was thinking. I underestimated the heat, and usually I love it hot, but LORD. I think my bread absorbed all of it. So, tread lightly with the hot sauces. For me, next time I think playing with a regular BBQ sauce and adding little dashes of the heated sauces myself would be the move. BUT IF YOU LIKE CRAZY HEAT, THEY GOT IT. The mac was good. The beans were FIRE. Perfectly sweet, and they actually have protein in them, which I can't say for all BBQ bean spots. Overall, it's worth the money. The service is respectful, and honestly, I will be coming back. I'll be ordering less food next time because LORD, I bought too much, but I'll definitely be back for a fresh brisket straight off the smoker. I can't lie. All in all, they're great. I like BBQ that tastes like hard work. Frankly, I want some love put into my BBQ, not just something that was simply cooked, and here they definitely have that. Only a true master can get sausage the way they do it here. 10/10. All juicy, all good. I'll be back. I can't recommend enough that you need to pivot your Thursdays through Sundays and try this place, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S FRESH OFF THE SMOKER. Real BBQ isn't about the presentation. My car, my hair, and my clothes all smelled like I rolled around in a smoker, which is exactly what I want from my BBQ. P.S. My dogs were going crazy for my fingers and trying to jump on the counters to get a bite, so you know it's good because they're well trained.
