This rice is so hard and dry!! Exactly How it looks!! It almost taste like it's fried just how it looks. Then the rice is hard. Mac and cheese DRY. Maybe it's Haitian Mac and cheese? It's not cheesesteak AT ALL. This location is obviously down bad. I'll never visit again. Fried Shrimp Dinner $20 for this?? lol there's no way. Not to mention this took over 30 minutes to be ready!! This is definitely one of the worst plates I've received all year. This plate is absolutely horrible read more

Hello everyone! Here today at this establishment we did delivery. Wasn't what I expected, but still enjoyed it to the last bite. Wifey got some fried turkey wings , baked bean, candied yams and some Mac. I went with the fried turkey wings alone and fried calamari. The food was good to me, Wifey said it could used a little more seasoning on the Mac and cheese. My calamari was fried good. But I like mine fried hard. Over all the amount of food was good enough to try something else there again. Great price for what we paid for, no complaints. Just Wifey saying "them some big ol' turkey wings". Enjoy ya'll! read more

The Licking Sunrise - Shrimp Alfredo - Soul Food Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

Ordered the chicken tenders and fries. The chicken was dry, the breading was falling off the chicken and the fries tasted like cement mix.

I had such a great experience with Toni! She was incredibly friendly, patient, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. Toni went above and beyond to make sure I was happy, and her positive attitude made the whole experience even better. I'd highly recommend her to anyone -- thank you, Toni, for the amazing service! The food is absolutely incredible! I tried the fried turkey and baked mac and cheese, and I'm still thinking about them. The turkey was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor easily the best I've ever had. And that baked mac and cheese? Creamy, cheesy, and baked to golden perfection pure comfort food read more

Lady at the register extremely rude! I can't believe how many reviews say the same about her. She must be the owner, otherwise I don't understand how is she still there. read more

Toni was an amazing help! She made sure we were taken cared and made sure we had a positive experience.

I hate to write this after many years of me and my kids actually loving the Licking but guys the food is trash‍ at all the locations now. No flavor, costumer service sucks. It's ghetto. I'm very upset at how nasty the food has gotten. And i promise you this isn't my first encounter with the nastiness. I've doubled back to multiple locations just to give them another try. No seasoning! No flavor NOTHING. A waste of money. read more

This was my first time actually ordering online and picking up food from The Licking. My friends and coworkers have ordered food and I wanted to find out for myself if the items/ food were as great as they describe. The cashier was excellent as she seemed to handle the short line of customers waiting to order. The atmosphere and lighting inside the restaurant was cozy and inviting . I couldn't wait to make it home to enjoy my food; shrimp, macaroni and cheese, and broccoli . I also ordered shrimp and fries for my teenage son. read more

I guess I expected more being that it's Dj Khaled's spot & it's definitely overhyped. The food was a little bland, we had to ask the host for salt and pepper to add to fried broccoli and conch. Definitely need to start seasoning like our ancestors in the kitchen with us, we need more flavor and spice. Collard greens weren't that great. Wings were fire. Candied Yams were the best! Fried conch was too chewy and bland. Fried broccoli was a first for me and wasn't bad, just needed salt and pepper to flavor it up. Mystery drink was super sweet but good. I will try again to try other things and the other locations. read more

This was our first time coming here. From the outside, it looks like a bar with the dark tinted windows. The inside leaves a little to be desired. The bathroom was kind of gross. However, the food was delicious. We ordered chicken wings, shrimp, Alfredo pasta, collard greens, and more. The kids enjoyed the mystery drink also. I would eat here again, but I might consider getting takeout instead of dining in. read more

The food is yum, I've only went to the location in person once and it was seriously packed and me and my friends were waiting FOREVER, other than that it's great. The reviews about the pasta are correct. I've ordered it about 3 times and each time it tasted completely different. It's a big serving so when i microwaved it the next night the noodles were swimming in oil, like literally i wish i had a picture. Here are 2 pictures of the same pasta, they looked different and tasted completely different as well. The wings are also so super gud but this restaurant is super inconsistent read more

Food was great. Extremely saucy just how I like it! Giving 3 stars as I'm still upset they overcharge when ordering online so I only go here if I order in person or a simple tray like chicken Alfredo. If you order a meal online that requires you to pick your sides, you will be charged additional for each side that's already included in the base price. Ridiculousness! read more

This is my second time visiting. First time at this location. Very small and mostly takeout. I ate in, food was good, but I was charged a convenience fee and charged 18% for the tip for a party of 1!! My server was not that good. No refill, no how is everything. I'll wait until I'm back in Orlando. That location is a vibe!! read more

The Food : 1.Conch sampler - Way to gummy ,but nice flavor. 2. Chicken wings sampler -12 wings - Just ok . The fingalicken sauce was good . 3. Mac and cheese appetizer - good. 4. Mystery Lemonade Drink - very good . Total: $32.00 Overall : We decided to come here after looking at the reviews. And most were right the service is ok and the staff definitely need to smile and show they at least enjoy their job ,because if you love your job your quality of work/food shows . We weren't totally amazed by the food and the expensive price for the quality given. Work on quality, even if we had a small amount if the quality was good we definitely would pay extra .We definitely will come back to try the other dishes and give it another shot ,they may have had an off day . read more

I have had the Fried Conch dish TWICE from here and it's INSANE. When it's time to eat junk food, it's hard to say no to coming to The Licking. Oh, and bro... BRO... the yams are ridiculous. Listen this isn't a safe place to visit if you just did a round of cardio, make sure you hit the weights first as you need to be in severe carb deficit for this to even make sense. Now if you don't workout at all, then I guess by all means do what you gotta do! Either way, I would highly suggest the Fried Conch. Now since I've had that twice, the next amazing pick up I'll be getting from here will be the fried shrimp & wings with more of those yams! read more

It's perfect that DJ Khaled owns this place as it is truly the DJ Khaled of restaurants. Talentless, overpriced, overhyped and surrounded by better things. I'm surprised they don't just run around behind behind plates of food from better restaurants screaming 'The Licking!' read more

I got the chicken Alfredo and SOMEONES MF TT PUT THEIR WHOLE FOOT HEART N SOUL INTO THIS CHICKEN ALFEDO I SWEAR TO GOD. This was soooooo good. This prices make you second think it but it was worth it. I was recommended the mystery drink and that was so worth it as well. Now other than food the directions I was given thru my gps had me driving in the CUT to get to this location, the location it self was kinda off putting, everything black everyone quiet and lowkey the energy off and some crackhead came in yelling DJ Khalid said he could get a free meal but that was hilarious. Anyways THE FOOD GOOD. read more

Let me just start with the DoorDash food service is terrible they don't have a number that you can reach them at any time of anything was wrong with the food the food is salty. Ihave a very disappointing experience with customer service and the poor communication. I had unhelpful responses this place sucks so bad. Overall I'm left feeling very fustrated and undervalued. read more

This place was pretty good , they are more of with fried foods and seafood in a way . Well known artist Dj Khalid is the brand ambassador and co-owner as well of this restaurant chain. read more

If you've had Fingerlickin then you already know the vibes. I ordered the fried conch dinner which came with two sides. I chose fries and mac and cheese (don't judge me). Their mac & cheese is always "decent." The conch was fresh and not too greasy/heavy. The fries were... less fresh. Their "lobster and conch" sauce is a real jazzy way to say regular a$$ honey mustard. Fairly portioned food and I'm extremely grateful they're offering delivery during these times (via UberEats). Overall, it was cute. What wasn't cute is that the drink I ordered never arrived. I have enough leftovers to think twice about all this, so all is forgiven. read more

The Licking Sunrise - Fried Conch - Soul Food Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

Very first time visiting The Licking. I'm aware they have other locations but we visited the sunrise location. I was expecting the line to be extremely long from what I heard from others but thankfully it wasn't. They do only allow a certain amount of people inside at a time. They have security standing outside at this location, not sure if it's that way at all locations. The snapper was well seasoned, the collards were just okay- taste like they may come from the fan and not cooked fresh, and the yams were super sweet. The service was slow and they messed up another part of my order but the manager fixed it instantly for us. I ordered the mystery drink which is supposed to have liquor in it but I think they forgot to add it to mine. It taste nothing like the one my friend had. Overall, if I'm in the Miami/ aft. Lauderdale area again I would try their food again! read more

First of all $50 for the lobster mac and cheese ????? Your macaroni taste like nothing I've tried this over and over again please lower this price it's worth $10 literally this is terrible and if I paid with my card I would have disputed this because No ...... bring your aunt in to make Mac and cheese .... Guys go to flavorzone that's 3 miles down the street read more

Walked in and it wasn't busy at all!! We ordered shrimp Alfredo, shrimp and fries, conch and fries and wings and fries with the mystery drink. Everything was really good and hot!!

This place is definitely one of my favorites to grab a go. It wasn't until I actually visited the location that I realized they have a dine-in section. I don't know if I would use it honestly, the food takes a little longer than my tastebuds can handle if I were looking for a pleasurable dine in experience. When I order, I use the Yelp app and place my order in advance. Otherwise you may find yourself standing in line waiting to place your order and then waiting to get your food. This isn't fast food and of course all the best things in life come with a little time. This place is worth the weight! I HIGHLY recommend the chicken Alfredo. I don't know what they put in that sauce, but they make the best pasta I have ever had! It's always on. My list when I go. The quesadilla is also a good idea. They add broccoli to it which is a nice twist. Honestly, the whole menu is on checklist. I was noticing some people's foods that they were ordering and adding it to my mental list for my next visit. Pro tip: ORDER ONLINE! read more

The Licking Sunrise - THE BEST Chicken Alfredo! - Soul Food Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

Just not the quality I expect from this brand. They can do much better DJ Khalid would be disappointed at the lack of quality in customer service and food. It was served cold and just didn't meet expectations. read more

It doesn't look like much from outside. like your regular moms and pops spot. But It's has a nice upscale sports bar ambience when you walk in. it's a cool setting the staff is nice very. people friendly from what I can tell. The server was very nice and well spoken. Made me feel very welcome and the mystery lemonade is the best I had. I like the TVs on the wall for the entertainment. you can hear them playing the videos etc. now let's start with the food .Very delicious season properly the shrimp and grits was absolutely delicious that's what my girlfriend had. I had the chicken grilled cheese croissant sandwich with a side of fries best I had ever !!! And you see a lot of great accomplishments on the wall as far as the artist himself very nice. I want to bring my kids. When I come back to Miami. I'm from California ...Oakland California !!! And I travel a lot. So when I'm out and about in different states and countries I like to try different restaurants whether it's a sports bar. Hey mom is in Pops spot. Or a five star upscale restaurant. I am a foodie. But this will be in my top 1040 spots to visit when you come to Miami Tappin !!!!!!! read more

Popped in, while visiting another merchant in the adjacent plaza. Ordered turkey wings, broccoli and macaroni and cheese and regular size mystery drink. Meal also included a garlic knot (bread). Three other customers were waiting for their takeout orders, so to maintain social distancing, I waited outside rather than in dining area. The estimated 20 minute prep time was accurate. Two large fried turkey wings were okay, nicely browned, but a little dry. I thought they were going to be baked, but that was my mistake reading the menu. The sides were very tasty, wished I had ordered more broccoli. The mystery drink was pretty and delicious. I don't even want to know what my sugar levels were after drinking that. Oh yeah, the fried conch was good. Portion was ehh for $10, but it was only an appetizer--not a meal. No dipping sauce was included, guess I needed to ask for that. read more

The Licking Sunrise - Soul Food Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

Over the past 2 days I have visited this location while on vacation in Florida. The licking was always a go to spot for good soul food, while visiting so of course I'm not missing the opportunity to diner where I know the food will be good. I think that's what made me keep going back but anyway. All 3 orders I made in the last 2 days on separate occasions was missing food. Saturday I ordered and paid online through the official company site. My order was missing my add fried shrimp. I told the cashier and waited for my shrimp. The next day I placed and paid online order again through company website. I had my boyfriend pick my food up. Once he realized the taco was missing he went back inside the restaurant. He was then told this site does not sell fish tacos and he can only substituted the value for something else of same value and they don't do refunds. I chose to get the shrimp quesadilla with fries due to that being my only option. Every time I go my order is NEVER correct after I pay. read more

We had no idea this Finga Lickin location was so close to our hotel. We picked this after we gave up our search for really good Haitian food. My sisters and I are really happy we did. We ordered grilled shrimp, grilled lobster, wings, macaroni and cheese, yams, shrimp pasta and seafood rice. I had the non alcoholic mystery drink and the other ladies had it with liquor. Both said it packed a punch..Everything was excellent and the server was great. I took 1 star off because the seafood rice had 1 crab claw and 1 shrimp on top and no seafood actually in the rice. It was very tasty though. read more

The customer service was very good! Only reason I give this a 4 out of 5 is because the side of sweet potato tasted like a bowl of cinnamon it had no savory taste at all and not like how it should have.. other than that the rest of the food was delicious! I'd highly recommend it. read more

Sad.. this restaurant could be something great, but instead it's run by clearly not good employees due to all the ratings being 1 star but my personal experience I wanted to go there at 10:00 they close at 12:00, that's what Google says. And I drive all the way there and they are already closed?? Like either update your hours online like a responsible business or don't close early. Super unimpressed read more

Convinced the staff must hate making money or having repeat customers. First attempt to get an order to go was a fail. Hours claimed to be open but we couldn't place an order via post mates or door dash. So we decided to call them directly to pick up our order. Big mistake! For a place that's open no one answered the phone after multiple attempts. I just decided to order from Gabose Pocha (also located on University) , they picked up on one ring and had my order ready faster than Usain Bolt at the Olympics. Second attempt and unfortunately we were able to get our order but I wish we hadn't. Service and food were tragic. Ordered to go and starved 5 lifetimes over before actually getting the food.... Which was subpar and cold. Only good thing was the mac n' cheese. I'm no soul food expert but I'm pretty sure I could have perfected a few southern recipes and prepared the food myself in the time it took to get my order. read more
