Seating and sign

The food was definitely fresh. It didn't have that creole flavor but it is definitely a safe option if you want something decent. We were given free shots to try at the time we ordered. We had the 4 piece mixed and jumbo tenders with red beans and rice and fries. The biscuit was a bit dry. It is a lot of food. The drinks weren't strong, even though we added shooters. The Customer service was great. Todd at the counter was very nice and attentive. The seating area is spacious and colorful. The music was good and set a vibe. We spent about $130 on everything, so it's a bit pricey but it's also on south beach, so it's expected.

Beans and rice

I can't say enough about this wonderful new addition to South Beach. The chicken tenders were so moist as was the regular chicken. I also really enjoyed the dirty rice, drop biscuits and the beans with rice. I liked it enough that I will venture out to the beach to have it again. The staff was AWESOME bringing that Louisiana hospitality to Miami Beach.

Always great food. EVERYTHING…read more And our server was exceptional. I'm not sure just how many times I've been to Yardbird.... maybe 25 times over years. I'll be going back again and again, for sure.

First and foremost, do not waste your time or money coming here…read more As a Miami native, I was genuinely disappointed by both the food and the level of service. Unfortunately, neither lived up to expectations. We started with the "jumbo" wings, which were anything but jumbo. We received only flats, and they were some of the smallest wings I've ever been served. After bringing this to the staff's attention, we were told the manager would take 50% off the order. However, when the bill arrived, we were informed that the manager had already left and the discount could no longer be honored. Instead, we were given only the $4 happy hour discount, despite being promised otherwise. For our entrées, we ordered the brisket sandwich and the half chicken. Neither was worth ordering. The chicken lacked the crispy texture it was advertised to have, and the brisket was bland and without flavor. The sandwich was also supposed to come with truffle fries, but instead we were served cold, plain fries. After mentioning it, the solution was to bring us a side of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese and ask us to mix it ourselves. The service was equally disappointing. We asked our server twice for drink refills, but she never brought them. We eventually had to flag down another server just to get our beverages refilled. Overall, this was a frustrating dining experience from start to finish. Between the poor-quality food, unfulfilled promises regarding the bill, and inattentive service, this restaurant fell well below the standard I would expect from a Miami establishment. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves one. I sincerely hope management addresses these issues because the current level of food quality and customer service is simply unacceptable. and quality is embarrassing for miami.

The newly opened Bonchon Restaurant Miami Beach is my new favorite spot. I love their signature…read moreKorean Fried Chicken, a soy garlic flavored, double-fried drumstick or wings. A crunchy on the outside, very tasty chicken. Bulgogi Bibimbap is my other favorite, steamed rice topped with beef bibimbap, fried egg, and vegetables. Fast and friendly service in a relaxing and casual ambiance. Check it out!

Had to try Bonchon the leading Korean Fried Chicken brand in US this one located in South Beach…read more Famous for their hand battered chicken and signature sauces. I ordered their drumstick trio $11.99 you get three thick drumsticks, fries and Korean donut. Can't beat that. Great price for so much food. I was so eager to try their chicken that the wait felt as if I waited forever. Finally the food arrived and what a feast. The classic crunch chicken was so delicious even without the sauces. Chicken had a nice crunch so crispy not greasy and so fIavorful. The seasoning was perfect for my taste. Their signature sauces The Korean BBQ, Garlic and Yangnyeom sauce all so good but I prefer the chicken without the sauces just by itself. The fries were crispy and very addictive! The server was really nice, friendly and helpful. I wanted to try the Bonchon sampler platter but they were out of bulgogi fries. Will try the sampler platter next time. Will definitely come back. Place wasn't too busy looked clean and spacious. There is also a Bonchon location in Doral.

RUN FROM THIS PLACE! I had the stupid mistake of staying and what started out bad turned worse…read more This place is advertised as being in InKind so decided to go there for lunch. When I entered, I was greeted by a host who was eating and hanging out with friends and said to sit down anywhere. Once I got to a table, I noticed the AC wasn't on. Mind you it's 1pm, in June inside. That should've been my sign to leave but nope wanted to give them a chance. The bartender comes up and introduces himself and says to go to him for drink orders or tell the waitress who will relay the order to him. After a couple of minutes, the waitress comes, tells us they don't have fries or lobster or some other items. With limited choices, I place an order for the chicken and waffles. When I asked about water, they only do bottled water, so no tap water which is typical of most places of Miami. Ok fine. The food arrived and it's just sad. The waffles are dry and are broken. The chicken is dry. The syrup is the cheapest kind you can find (I think I saw the brand that is given to kids at school) and the side to substitute the fries was more water than anything else. After trying to eat, we had to ask for the check. Waitress told us they aren't on inkind. When I asked to see the bill, the waitress was quick to go to the payment tab. I had to request to even see the bill. it was high and turns out there's a mandatory 18% fee that's applicable because they're on the beach (ummmm I didn't see water in front of me). What's actually the worst crime is that the bathroom is extremely gross. It seemed they didn't clean it in years. Piss on the floor. Piss in the sink. Piss all around but the actual bowl. Honestly all I can probably guarantee from this place is food poisoning and passing out from heat exhaustion. Just run away.

Food was unbelievably good. The service was pretty terrible. All the people talking about the one…read moreserver are 100% spot on. Service is pretty dull and slow. We had the wings. I was genuinely surprised to have some of the best wings I've ever had in my life. Top 5 for sure. Drinks were 50/50 between our table. Some of us liked them a lot and others did not. I would recommend only for the surprisingly great and seemingly way above-par food, but not if you're looking for any specific "experience"

Hello, for context, my wife and I have been coming to SoBe 3-5 times for the past 25 years…read more Although, Miami can be pricey, but usually you can justify the spend. Front Porch has always been a spot we dined at, mostly for breakfast, but sometimes lunch and dinner. At times, we would stay at the Z Hotel just for Front Porch. Unfortunately, that has changed, and I would never go back or accept a free meal or service--imagine that, never accept a free meal in Miami. The service was bad, actually the waiter was fair to ok, but the bleach blonde older server consumed the air out of the room. She was grumpy, not engaging, and when she spoke her voice was so deep and off putting that it frightened me. The culinary offerings, reminds me of a hospital cafeteria from the 80s/90s . The worst part was the theming and lack of ambiance. It felt like a seedy nightclub or raggedy adult club you have to take a shower after leaving. I had to apologize to wife for such a poor experience. Bad husband! Also, I believe the operation was being managed or run by a small family of 4/5 people with no hospitality, culinary, or service experience. Finally, for $100, I never have to go there again. Front Porch, RIP. Sorry...
