I came in for the first time on a week evening for a late dinner. When we sat we noticed that the menu was small and had no prices . Yikes ! Anywho we decided to stay. For drinks we had the lychee dragonfruit margarita 10/10 and Hennessy rum punch 10/10 but they took forever to arrive to the table. For starters we had the lobster fritters which I was imagining something completely different. It was not terrible but I didn't enjoy it. For dinner I had the lobster and shrimp Alfredo pasta which was so flavorful. We also had the oxtail with white rice and plantain which the oxtail was tender and flavorful. Overall the service was a bit slow but the food was fresh and came hot to the table. For was also very good. However it is overpriced for some people as our bill was about $200

We came across Kekoon Restaurant & Lounge in Davie, FL and made reservations, which I highly recommend. The restaurant itself is very nice, with plenty of free parking, which is always a plus. Before we even walked in, we could hear the music from outside and already knew the vibes were going to be on point. Once inside, we were greeted by the hostess and, after a short wait, taken to our table and introduced to our waitress for the night. Our waitress, Ginger, was absolutely beautiful and took great care of us throughout the evening shoutout to her for the excellent service. Since it's a restaurant and lounge, we ordered drinks and appetizers for the table. The oxtail egg rolls were our favorite definitely a must-try. The coconut bang bang shrimp wasn't the best; it was falling apart. The salmon bombs were just okay, and the truffle fries weren't really truffling, if you know what I mean. The drinks were good, but the presentation and taste weren't consistent. We ordered two rounds. I had the Watermelon Pomegranate Cosmopolitan, and my sister ordered the blueberry Don Julio mint mojito and the dragonfruit margarita. One thing to note: there are no prices on the menu, so be prepared to spend money. Drinks were around $20, and a shot was $15, which felt a bit steep considering the location isn't beachfront. Around 11:30 p.m. midnight, a young lady came around offering hookah service. We ordered the blueberry mint hookah for $90, but unfortunately it started getting harsh after about 15 minutes. A quick restroom note: only one of the two toilets was working, and it had run out of toilet paper, which was disappointing especially since the place wasn't even packed. Overall, we had a decent time. The vibes, music, and service (especially Ginger) were highlights, but there are definitely some areas that could use improvement for the price point.

The chicken was tender, well seasoned, and soaked in that rich curry sauce. It came piled over rice with veggies and potatoes mixed in, and the flavors were deep and authentic. You can tell it's the kind of food that's been cooked slow and done right. The portions were solid too definitely a filling meal. Perfect if you're hungry and want something hearty. The restaurant itself has a cool island vibe inside with the beach murals and bright colors that make it feel relaxed and laid-back. The setup is simple cafeteria style, so you move down the line and pick what you want, which keeps things moving. If you're in Miramar and want real Caribbean flavors without the fuss, this spot is worth the stop. Good portions, flavorful food, and a chill atmosphere.

As the place was empty and two women working were talking at the bar I walked in and went to sit. One of the women asked if I was with the group and then told me I needed to wait to be seated. It was awkward. It was a bit rude. Most times it's not what you say, but how you say it. Maybe it's just me, but the waitress immediately informed me that three items weren't available, including biscuits and cornbread of some sort. As a first-timer, it was weird. Fortunately, everything got better from there. My first meal, regardless of time, needs to be breakfast-y. As I perused the weekday brunch menu via QR code (what if you don't have a phone?) I ordered a coffee and water. The water came quickly, but the coffee took its time. I ordered the Wafflette (don't you want to try things you can't get other places?) It came as pictured and was good. The syrup was quite watery and left a lot to be desired, but I really didn't need it. The star of this dish is the bacon. I could have bathed in this bacon. It was thick and chewy, such a nice compliment. I don't know if there are bar stools available and whether they set up center aisle seating when it's more crowded, but the restaurant appeared clean and well-kept. There were no rounds available when I went, so I don't know how they accommodate groups of 10+, I sat along the banquette that could accommodate two. I am very interested in returning to try the ox tails, which are available in two (or was it three) dishes on the menu. I look forward to revising my review then.

I ordered the boss plate with the ribs and the griot. It came with Haitian mac & cheese, fry, plantains, and rice. The grill itself what's OK, Flavorful but a letter on the dryer side. The ribs were pretty good juicy, but not fall off the bone. The rice was a little bland and the green plantains were OK as well. The best part of the entire meal with the mac & cheese, which was one of the best Haitian mac & cheese I've ever had. Overall, the plate was solid. We also had order aside of honey, garlic chicken wings, about three pieces, and those were pretty OK as well, but not something I would order again . To drink, we took their mystery drink, which we had no idea what it was, but it was extremely sweet so definitely had to be watered down.

I came to The Jerk Spot because of its high Yelp ratings. The pictures looked amazing, and what…read morereally stood out to me was that the reviews were recent and consistently highly rated. That matters because a lot of places start strong when they first open and then quality slowly drops over time. Consistency is everything. Walking in, the place itself is very unassuming--simple, clean, and not trying too hard. To me, that's actually a good sign. I'd rather a restaurant put its energy into the food instead of relying on flashy decor to draw people in. My first thought was: they let the food speak for itself, and I respect that. The ladies working there were very friendly and welcoming. There were already people inside when I arrived, and while I waited, even more people kept coming in. Another great sign--if people aren't being pulled in by appearances, they're definitely coming back for the food. I ordered the large jerk chicken with rice and peas, sweet plantains, vegetables, and jerk sauce on the side. I also ordered two spicy Jamaican patties. I'm not exaggerating when I say I took two bites and immediately came to write this review. The chicken is juicy and tastes like it was freshly cooked. The rice and peas are soft and fresh. The vegetables were crisp, the plantains were perfectly sweet, and the jerk sauce was delicious with a nice kick to it. Nothing tasted like a mass-produced commercial kitchen meal. I don't have a Jamaican aunty, but this tasted like the kind of food I'd expect from showing up to family dinner at a relative's house--homemade, comforting, and made with care. The portions were generous too. I haven't tried the patties yet because I'm saving those for my husband, but they're large, flaky, and still holding their warmth really well. I came here because of Yelp reviews, so I wanted to do my part and keep spreading the word. Easy 10/10 -- I'd absolutely come back again.
