    Honestly I never write reviews but after wasting my time and money on this place I felt like it was necessary.... Came home after a long day at work and went to grab some food just to come home and open it and finding out I was served raw chicken ..... this place needs new management

    Are masks optional in the food prep area?......
    Gabriel R.

    Hit or miss chicken quality... Sometimes just right and sometimes Sahara dry!! And the lines through the drive thru...oh boy!! During these times, shouldn't the people wear masks in the food prep area?

    Wow you guys really made sure I was not getting my protein today.

    Wow you guys really made sure I was not getting my protein today. Like hey make sure you give this guy no chicken because we're didn't make enough . 10/10

    So I went to the drive through ordered a 1/4 chicken mojo pork duo. They forgot my lemonade so I had to make a u turn and get my drink. Came home opened it up to a box with only my chicken no pork these idiots in the pollo tropical on 88th have been incompetent for years filled with complaints and bad service. Y'all need to shape the F**K up in there cause management is clearly eating S**T

    Good customer service, only thing that could be improved is offering more chicken on actual tropichop I feel like they put very little and fill it up with rice and beans mainly. Prices are in the middle range. A meal would probably be $7-13 with taxes. They do offer $2 mojitos and white claw cans for I believe it was $2.75 each.

    This place doesn't even deserve one star. Has anyone else noticed how gross and filthy the food line is. I can't believe that the food is prepared in such dirty environment. Unacceptable. There are too many employees walking around in circles lost in space, unorganized, no coordination, bad attitude. These employees are handling food with the same gloves they are handing the garbage. Disgusting and unacceptable. After ordering the food, I couldn't eat it. Will never visit this location again. I hope an inspector walks in and sees this mess soon before somebody gets sick.

    If I could give no stars I would. This place use to be way better, no it sucks. They barely give in anything you order. The service has no hospitality. All the workers no exception are awful. I will never come again.

Fast service here is an option at best. I mean, I gotta admit most customer service in restaurants across the United States SUCKS.

My husband had a classic. The food was subpar. The dish was barely warm. The chicken was bland and the black beans tasted as if they came from a can and no seasonings. The rice was mushy. I ordered the sweet platanos and it tasted of dirty oil. It was only 12:15 so I can't believe the food would taste so horrible. Lastly, there were tons of flies swarming around the restaurant. I threw out most of my plate and still left feeling gross and nauseous. This is not the same chicken that I remembered.

I'm a morning person, and I absolutely love Chick-fil-A's breakfast. Especially, their sausage and/ or chicken burrito meal. On this particular morning, I was on my way to an appointment and noticed there was a Chick-fil-A nearby, so I decided to stop in despite the rain. Because of the rain, the drive-thru was extremely busy, but the dining room had plenty of space available for incoming customers. Adrian provided excellent customer service. He was courteous, professional, and efficient while taking my order. His colleague Isabelle was equally kind and helpful when she handed me my meal. Honestly, it felt like I discovered a little "cheat code" because I was able to skip the long drive-thru wait and place my order with no wait at all! Thank you, Adrian, for creating such a positive customer experience. I also want to tip my cap to Isabelle for her kindness and lobby service as well. Employees like you both are the reason customers leave with a smile. So, thank you.

The saying of them always sayin "my pleasure" no matter what makes the experience better. I have yet to see an employee looking like they don't want to work here, even on a hot day. Came by quickly to get a grilled wrap and fries (not pictured). Their fries NEVER fail. They're always so thick and salty. The grilled wrap was good and I paired it with light balsamic dressing for fewer calories. Will definitely continue to pass by when I need a quick lunch!

This particular location is probably the best one I've been to. They have something for everyone including burgers, sandwiches, gyros, wraps, and of course onion rings and fries. My favorites are the Grilled Chicken Pita Wrap and Gyro Wrap. They're somewhat the healthier options but of course, I cannot resist ordering some Mozzarella Sticks and Onion Rings. Both are perfectly cooked and crispy. I also tried their Philly but it was kinda too plain for me. Now they have a new $6.99 menu for budget-conscious eaters. It offers a sandwich with fries which is a great value. This place is still a staple among the fast food restaurants in Miami. What I like the most about Miami Grill is they actually prep everything fresh rather than microwave like the usual burger chains counterparts.

I've been to Miami subs many many times and I've always got a super soft bun but today it was soo fresh and just melted in your mouth. We ordered two cheese steaks subs with fries and two drinks with Miami Grill signature cups. Worth every penny. We ended up going back to order a chocolate milkshake because you can't leave Miami Grill without a chocolate milkshake! Creamy and rich! Overall, highly recommend coming here for the cheese steaks subs sub (combo order #2). The best cheese steak sub we've had in Miami! Service: 10/10 Friendly. Prompt. Lou, the customer service representative, was extremely helpful & nice!! Happily served us and was very kind!!! Made our experience way more memorable & enjoyable than expected! One employee can make the whole company better and I'd say Lou is that guy! Ambiance: 10/10 Lots of seating, good for larger parties. It's has a cool Retro Miami vibe inside & outside. Their menu is pretty diverse so lots of options for people in the party! They have two TV's that they were showing the news/games on!
