Came here with coworkers who wanted the nearest would food spot. I had turkey wings with lemon pepper, corn, and broccoli with red kool aid and water. It was pretty good. So good i recommended it to other coworkers who were looking for something close to our hotel. May hit again tomorrow! read more

I ordered the grilled chicken due to baked only being dark meat, with the Mac and cheese and collard greens with the mystery drink. The chicken was okay flavor wise well seasoned I asked for it well done after 20 plus minutes of waiting for the food I needed to send it back to cook longer. The Mac and cheese was okay wasn't my favorite it was missing something. The greens needed to be cleaned better with tossing the stems too many and I mean too many of them. The drink was good I'll be back for one of those for sure! Overall staff were friendly and nice about recooking the chicken. I'll try them again I'll just order something else. read more

Came by the other day to give this place a try in person! The interior gorgeous and clean, great taste in music. Service was *chef's kiss* I was treated by the sweetest woman I've ever met I wish I got her name and I hate myself for not getting it cause she deserves a shoutout. Nothing too crazy for what I ate, it was the chicken eggroll and fries which is what I ordered which was amazing! But the icing on the cake was me chatting up with the worker after realizing they had dessert but not what I wanted and said to me.. you like sweets? The proceeds to just hand me their mystery drink! This drink must've been made with the nectar of the gods I will be back for everything. Giving a 4 for now because I definitely need to give a proper meal a chance next, these were more so for apps and drinks! read more

Food was good overall, shrimp cooked will, a little salty for my likely. The lamb chops were dry. Service was okay, They need more help. Our server was nice. She was working register and taking orders for sit in guest. She also delivered our food to our tables. Way too much for one persons, but she did great. Inside was okay. Tables had to be wiped before we sat down. read more

First let me say, I love the fact that they are open on Sundays...AND collards greens are available daily. From the time I walked in...loved the ambiance, the ladies behind the counter were very welcoming and pleasant as we placed our order. Great service, the food was absolutely delicious and most of all......it was affordable. Oh yes....I will be a frequent customer...keep up the great work read more

My first visit was a Saturday at 2pm so it wasn't crowded just some nice music and the service was quick. The cashier was very helpful with food and drinks suggestion. I ordered lemon pepper turkey wings mouth watering off the bone. With green beans and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese needs a little bit of more seasoning and cheese but to be honest the wings had enough seasoning not a bid deal. Will definitely be back again. read more

I came in and greeted the older woman at the cash register, and she completely ignored me. It was very rude and disrespectful. Basic customer service starts with acknowledging customers, especially when they make the effort to say hello first. This experience made me feel unwelcome, and as a result, I decided not to order anything. The staff could really benefit from additional customer service training and basic etiquette. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this location. read more

Service is just horrible. General manager is just rude and had an attitude from the very start. Cold food, unseasoned. Very underwhelming

I enjoyed my food at the Licking!Everything is made fresh and is very flavorful. However, be prepared to wait long for your food. We ordered online in advance but still had to wait at least another 15 minutes. Once we finally got the food it was delicious. I highly recommend the fried turkey wings! read more

The fried turkey wings are a mustttt. Definitely good food. Parking was a lot so be prepared for that.

Food was amazing! Service, meh! This place always pops up whatever app I use to look for grub. So this time I figured I'd give it a try. Walking in, it's nice and clean inside. The music was LOUD. Not really expecting that but it might have impacted the service because I couldn't hear the cashier speak from under a mask and a plexiglass barricade. Along that same line, I concur with a few other Yelpers that indeed, some of the people working there looked like they wanted to be anywhere else but at work. I could harp on that for a while but, you get the point. I couldn't in good conscious give them 3 stars when the food was indeed good, place was clean, and maybe Covid is causing some challenges with their demeanor. For the food though, I picked up the conch and added shrimp. The fries could've used a bit more salt but the conch was delicious. Reminds me of this little hole-in-the-wall place in Key West. Just delicious conch! The shrimp were great too. They were healthy looking shrimp too, not those anemic shrimp at some places. I think this place will get my patronage again post-covid to see if the service changes. If you don't mind that, though, get some good eats! read more

I was hungry and didn't feel like spending a lot of money, but I also didn't want fast food. While browsing the web I discovered that this restaurant had a $5 lunch special. Upon arrival I ordered the baked chicken lunch special with rice and peas and a side of corn. The baked chicken was cooked to perfection, it was tender, juicy and flavorful. The rice and peas were cool and the sweet corn was good. Ultimately for $5 I can't complain. The food was well worth the $5. The hostess/cashier was cool and the place was well lit and looked well kept. In closing, I'd definitely go back for that $5 lunch special. read more

Being so close to my home...The Bahamas and Inot being able to get some Crack Conch or Stew fish and Johnny cake... I was in agony! Behold we were driving down Miramar Parkway Fort Lauderdale Fl and got lit up with bright colors...and there it was "The licking". I looked them up real quick and saw that they served food I grew up on back in The Bahamas. Peas and rice crack conch, fried wings and other island delights. I decided to give them a try... man was it was worth it. The Conch wasn't as nicely and tender like we do it back on the island, however it packed some flavor.The garlic, lime and salt was perfectly balanced. I had fries with my meal and my daughter had the peas and rice. It was OK. She also had the grilled chicken and I ordered the seafood delight which had one piece of shrimp no other seafood delights as promised.This dish was a disappointment. They lost two stars. Otherwise if you need a taste of the island right now while in Fort Lauderdale Florida "The Licking can satisfy some of your cravings! The mystery drink...a concoction of lots of different fruity flavors was delicious. I will definitely be back to try a few different items! read more

Omggg... so you know the food good when you go twice in one week. The first time was 24 Feb 2021 and 2nd 27 Feb 2021. I initially I had greens, Turkey wings, shrimp and chicken. Then the second time grits & grits, red velvet waffles and fry fish plate. The greens was perfect. It's rare I find greens that taste like I cooked it myself. I have never had pigeon peas and rice until now. I am definitely a fan for life. It was amazing. I was skeptical about the shrimp and grits since it wasn't in gravy but it was delicious. They need more fry shrimp in the cup because I ate them too fast. I didn't even put the car in reverse before those shrimp was done. All the food was good. I will be going back! I didn't dine in but it was available. The music and atmosphere was nice. They also had tv's throughout the restaurant, playing different shows. I placed my order sat in car and waited. It was done in 20 minutes. The severs had mask, people not eating wore mask and people that were eating had there mask off while eating. Everything was worth it! read more

I have heard about this restaurant, but the location was not an area I am usually in so I never got a chance to check it out. After checking for a place to eat in UberEats, this restaurant came up and I was surprised that the location was right around the corner from my house. Next came convincing my Hubby to check it out with me since he was driving, which can be difficult since he doesn't always share my thoughts nor likes seafood (which is usually what I aim for). We got there and it was slow, no one in line. Took a little to look at the menu since I have never been here. Asked the guy if he knew how the shrimp Alfredo was, but he said he doesn't eat Alfredo unfortunately. I decided to try it anyway along with the mystery drink. We also ordered the kids the chicken tenders and my Hubby ordered the bchicken wings with buffalo sauce. Hubby saw my face and also added a side of Mac and cheese (he knows me so well) to Once it was ready to go my Hubby got the food and we headed home. He then tells me I won't like the Alfredo and I immediately know why, but I am use to places not taking the tails off their shrimp. Only my favorite place (La Nonna's) does. I just do a small prep by taking the tails off and cutting the shrimp in half. This had 6 shrimps. Overall all everything was delicious and everyone was satisfied. My meal was large so I had leftovers, which is love. The Mac and Cheese was the best, but my husband said it was expensive for the small size. I'm just glad to have tried it but not sure I will return anytime soon. I hope to visit again with friends at some point. read more

The Licking Miramar Lounge - Fried turkey wings dinner with 2 sides. The turkey wings were not freshly fried. Could barely chew - Soul Food Near Me - Miramar, Florida

Fat Joe's place is the real deal. As soon as you walk in you hear Hip Hop, see photos of artists all around the walls and also a collage of words from FINGALICKING, MIAMI, HIP HOP, LOBSTER. All the things that DJ Khaled likes and to be honest, so do I. I got the Fried Conch dinner with two sides, one was veggie rice-amazing, and the other was Mac & Cheese-ok, and to finish it off I had a bottled water. They also sell champagne here! Yes! You can get a bottle of bubbly along with your conch, fries, wings and lobster. All-in-all, I like this place a lot and I will for sure come back... or should I say "lean back." read more

My experience the night I came, is the reason African-American establishments get such a bad rep. As I walked in there was no "Welcome to..", "Hey how you doing?", or "Are you ready?". No none of that. I stood there for about 5 minutes as I watched her make mystery drinks, bag up food, another young lady come from the back, talk to someone that was sitting in the corner before she finally acknowledged me. I ordered my two items and waited which entailed a side of collards and a mystery drink. The guy eventually brings out my collards and I watched it sit there for about 3 minutes while he and the other two young ladies had a pow-wow in the corner with the other young lady that was there. It wasn't until I looked at the collards, looked at her and walked up to the counter that she finally came over and bagged it. We try to help and support our community but the customer service is just subpar and unacceptable. read more

I have not enjoyed eating from this restaurant, no matter how many times I've given them a chance. I'm hoping it's not like this at all of their locations because there are certain dishes on the menu, I would really enjoy sampling. For example, their seafood rice has always been at the top of my list since they first opened not too far away from me. And, their grilled snapper is another. Most of the occasions I've visited it was late at night after going out and having some. On those nights I'm looking for something quick to bite, that tastes good and leaves me feeling like my night was a complete success. I don't eat it fried fast food often, for many reasons, but when I do I want to enjoy it thoroughly because I don't know when I'll eat it again. Well, on those occasions I visited, the service was really bad. A little" smile, thank you, you're welcome", gestures would go a long way for them. It's really not that much to ask. And, seemed to have a burnt taste to it, close to cooking in used oil. read more

There are not many places you can go to and get a fast food style lobster meal that actually tastes like it came from a 5 star restaurant. Amazing grilled lobster. Paul recommended me the best meal to get and was very helpful and kind. Every business needs a Paul. Went to another Licking location, but the staff wasn't as friendly. I will only be going to back to this Miramar location from now on even though it's a bit farther from my house. Location is also good, parking-lot style in a clean plaza. Food is amazing, can't wait to try the many other dishes they have! read more

Finally had a chance to try out "The Licking", I've been wanting to eat from here for some time and now that they have a new store in my neighborhood I'm there. The place looked clean, kinda like a fast food vibe with so much better food. The order taker was nice, only complaint maybe is the food took a little long to come out but hey the fresh good food was worth the wait. My favorite of all that I ordered was the Chicken Alfredo. absolutely delicious juicy chicken, grilled onions and peppers over their tasty Alfredo pasta. I will definitely be back for more of their pasta dishes. I ordered the seafood rice and was surprised to find a nice amount of actual seafood. I saved this for later which made for an excellent late night snack. I also ordered Chicken & Red Velvet Waffles. This came wings that were not bad at all although it's not what I was expecting. The waffles eh ok I guess. I will definitely be back... welcome to my hood Finga Lickin. read more

BRING SOME WATER! No seriously- unless you want to pay $2.00 for bottles water, or take your food to go, bring your own! I had to take away 2 stars for that reason alone. Shouldn't it be illegal for a restaurant to not at least serve water to paying customers?!! They only have bottled water for sale, no ice water. Besides that MAJOR deal, the food was good. I'm a huge greens critic, and theirs didn't let me down! The Mac and cheese had a lot of flavor and perfect amount of cheese. I definitely recommend this little spot. read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant. Overall it was clean and the staff was nice. I ordered the grilled snapper with collard greens and Mac&cheese .along with the mystery drink.

Your baked chicken slaps, the seasoning is really tasty, affordable and delicious, my only complaint is the portion size. Chicken is cheap, you can give a little more than just two thighs. Let's keep it a buck. Other than that, the macaroni and cheese was real good and so was the yams. Keep it up but stop being so stingy with the spoon and you'll have a forever customer. read more

Food 7/10 Maybe it was what I order. First fried broccoli 10/10 Mac and cheese 10/10 Veggie plate 3/10 The veggie plate was lacking veggies. It was like corn bell peppers and 4 pieces of broccoli in a Asian stir fry sauce. Very oil and flavor was lacking. No side Service 10/10 The gentleman was very nice and was try to help me look over and find something that I would like probably should of listened. Ambiance 8/10 The colors inside wasn't what I had expected but I didn't sit down or anything Price point 7/10 For everything I got it was 28$ seeing as I kinda wasted my money on the veggie plate. I would go back just for the fried broccoli and to try a different entree read more

Was in the mood for some good fried food for my "Cheat Meal" . Came in with my son and we decided we wanted to dine in (needing to get out during this pandemic) My son chose the "Chicken and Red Waffles" and I chose the "Conch Dinner with Mac n Cheese and French Fries" I had a bite of the Red Velvet Waffle : that was heaven to taste! My Conch was fried perfect and you def did not bite into geese; actual conch! My tummy was fully satisfied even though I didn't finish my good (took it home though) They're taking the necessary precautions during this pandemic but still making it worthwhile to come and eat. Our server was soooo delightful and efficient; shes def a gem to that establishment I'm sorry I didn't get your name. My new Cheat Meal Joint for sure :) read more

I was excited about supporting a black owned business but noticed that there is a lack in customer service. The employees are not welcoming or attentive and have conversations amongst one another as customers wait in line. The turkey wings are my favorite and usually the reason why I visit but when you don't feel like your $ counts it's difficult to continue to support. I have been in town working for about 3 months and when I want a southern meal, the Licking is my go to. It would be great if the leadership team could have a conversation with the team to remind them the focus should be on the customers. read more

1st time ordering. I used Uber eats. They were out of greens called right away to ask for a substitute. My food was still warm when it arrived (they are only 1 mile away from my house). I found it very odd that there is a $4+ up charge for greens or macaroni The food- I ordered the steak dinner with Macoroni with sweet potatoes (aka candied yams lol). The sides were both decent. The steak however, was not what I expected. This was more of a hamburger, minute steak, chop steak kind of meat. Quite tough and very fatty. They also had a more expensive Filet Mignon option on the menu as well. They should specify on the "steak dinner". I wouldn't consider this type of meat restaurant style "steak" but that's my opinion. Still giving 4 stars because I've had much worse and I could picture myself ordering again. I just won't order the "steak". read more

The heavy security presence was a bit unsettling and the hostess seemed a little bothered to help us. The atmosphere was bright and casual with hip hop music playing. Our waitress was pleasant but aloof and could have been more helpful in guiding my mom and I through the menu. I came in hoping to try the red velvet waffles but was told that they have been out of them all day. Uh eh we're also out of the yams. I then decided on the chicken wings and was billed for a sample wing platter with a side of fries for an additional $8 when I could have been charged for a wing plate which would have included fries. Little things like that can make the difference for a customer feeling taken care of versus being a money grab. Also, be aware that the "service charge" is automatically added to the bill but you will still be prompted to add additional gratuity when paying your bill. Overall, the food was tasty and the drinks were delicious. read more
