As odd as it is to go during the day and have brunch, I would say it is the move. You pull into a plaza where everything else is closed except for this business and say hi to the security guard stationed at the entrance of the place---at 11 AM---to walk into a lounge beautifully decorated with green walls, floral accents and a disco ball. It is clear that the majority of patrons come much later in the day, like after 9 PM, to get bottle service listening to a DJ or any other performer. This would explain why the air conditioning was cranked so high, to accommodate the bodies and electricity that would pack the place much later. Our server didn't crack a smile but immediately brought us water after we asked and rounded back twice to take our order. Like I said, going during the day when there are only about 5 other parties dining seems to be the move for prompt service and food preparation. The dishes came out super hot and fresh. The Creole Seafood Omelette ($26) was chock full of well seasoned shrimp and lobster and cheese, with a creamy roux on the side that was good to occasionally dip a bite into but wasn't necessary all the time. The potatoes that came on the side were just the right amount of crispy while leaving some heartiness to them. The Fried Chicken and Waffles ($26) included flavorful fried chicken with breading that didn't quit when you tore it or cut into it. The cool part of this dish is the choice you have of the waffle it comes with. The Cookies and Cream Waffles should be your go-to. They were topped with the chocolate cookie sandwich crumbles and a great homemade vanilla icing. For a Lauderhill establishment in an area where you really don't know of anything else happening, this place is worth a venture out for your brunch. I'd go back to try the other items and drinks!

For Miami it's giving Swizzle or Tea Room with the nearest similarity to Mangrove. It's in an unassuming plaza yet once you step inside, you enter a warm, inviting, low lit space that truly is a Love Jones vibe. That evening happened to be an event, a trifecta experience of food, service and talent. Longstanding South Florida curator of poetry and live music @onthebsideent featured a vocalist performance by former Isaac Hayes background singer @iamrhondathomas. The two cocktails I ordered were scratch made and allowed me to lusciously libate. Per prior reviews, I enjoyed the clapping crab cake starter followed by bluesy smash burger. All severs as well as the owner engaged with diners. I concur with other reviews, truly "grown & sexy" and enjoyed this hidden, intimate, Black-owned soul-full, speakeasy type spot.

The pork chops were thick cut too great sides were cooled greens and mac. Someone grandma back there throwing down lol. The turkey wings with dressing was a hit and tender okay and dressing so down south home cooking to me. Cabbage as good. Now the cornbreads sweet but soulful.

Chef Juliette and the Lickie Stickie crew hold a very special place in my heart. 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.

Like choke and drink some water dry I forget the name of the last one I tried which means it wasn't great. The Parmesan fries were delicious.

During this visit, I enjoyed a glass of Prosecco along with a petite bowl, which was the perfect portion if you want to dine without feeling overly full or guilty about not finishing everything. I highly recommend securing your reservation with the $25 deposit online, as they do not offer same-day reservations. 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 service itself was fine, but I really feel like they could put more energy into customer service--especially when it comes to recommending specials. I ordered my usual 4-piece chicken with mashed potatoes, but honestly I was open to trying something different. After I had already ordered and was walking out the door, I noticed signs about Friday lunch specials, strips, wedges, things like that. If I had known about those, I definitely would've tried something else. That's where I felt the miss was. Either the girl or the guy behind the counter could've easily said, "Hey, here are today's specials," or suggested another option. I even told the girl I didn't know what to order and that I always get the 4-piece but wanted something different. She acknowledged it, but didn't really recommend anything else.
