MY GO TO SPOT IN SOUTH BEACH EVERYTIME. IF YOU LOVE RAP MUSIC & SOUL FOOD THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. I ADVISE YOU TO GO MID DAY BECAUSE DURING THE NIGHT THEY RUN OUT OF SIDES. I WAS UNABLE TO GET GREENS AND YAMS BECAUSE THEY WERE SOLD OUT BEFORE CLOSING TIME. HOWEVER THE WAITERS WERE GREAT AND FOOD WAS DELICIOUS.
We were seated quickly.My waitress Tabi was amazing. But, however we really enjoy the food. The lemonade is very good and sweet how I like it. The fried broccoli and steak Alfredo was different but it was delicious anyway
?? the food and service was superb. Not only was out waiter nice and patient with out many questions about the food but the waiter from their next door bar was great. He came over and informed us about their happy hour specials and we literally had only two minutes left but he still took our drink orders and then delivered the drink to our table.THE FOOD THOUGH…OMG. The food was fantastic. I ordered the chicken and red velvet waffles. Y’all I have never had a red velvet cake or cupcake that tasted as good as those waffles. They were soft, fluffy, moist, and I didn’t even need syrup on them. I find myself on the flight home wishing I had gotten an order to fly back with ?. They were just that good. My sister ordered the chicken meal and she chose baked Mac & Cheese and collard greens with it. The collard greens will definitely send an intentional moan escaping from your mouth. Whoever the cook was that day may have went to culinary arts school but they fried that chicken and cooked that food like they spent their entire life in the kitchen with their mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother watching and learning from them all.That was my first and only experience at The Licking. I found out that they have restaurants located in other major cities including mines. My BFF said the ones in my city can’t compare to the one in South Beach Miami. So if you’re ever there please, please, please check them out if you want to give your taste buds a wonderful experience.
Went twice for takeout…snapper dinner was amazing! DO YOU HEAR ME! Shrimp and grits not so much, it was bland. Tried to go a third time on a Sunday about an hour before closing, wait time was super long and they had run out of everything by the time I got close to the counter.
Dj Khalid got a hit with this one. The have 2 sides. 1 side felt more restaurant-y and the other was a bat and played good music. We decided to hit the bar side which was called Bar Idol. The server was amazing and the drinks good. I got the mystery punch with shot of patron goodt!!!!! Then we proceeded to the food I got the chicken tenders Mac and greens. My spouse got fried shrimp Mac and yams. Both were excellent choices. The food was seasoned to perfection rth3 greens were absolutely ? and let's just say this is one place you'd want to try when on South Beach. However I did see that he has multiple locations in FL. So if south beach not your cup of tea don't let it steer you away they have other locations.
Decided to honor DJ Khaled by going to his restaurant during a trip to Miami. Our waitress was great but all of the other things going on made the place seem a bit sketchy. The food was great. The yams and the macaroni made me feel like somebody's grandma was in there. I took away 1 star because I ordered the fried lobster which was at market price. Their marketplace was $47! That is totally ridiculous
The food was OK. The atmosphere is everything!! Just don’t expect to be wowed by the food. The presentation was nice but taste is mediocre. My server was great!! Always attentive . The restaurant is very busy so you have a bit of a wait for food. But that’s okay because the customer service is good. It definitely gives you a Miami party vibe. They have great music, tvs everywhere and there’s a club in the back. Restaurant is full of hip hop culture and is for EVERYONE. A beautifully mixed crowd of customers.
Sort of interesting booth vibe. I ordered fried Turkey wings, collard greens and Mac and cheese (no vinegar nor corn muffin), my friend ordered shrimp dinner (6 not so big), collard greens, candied yams, my other friend ordered shrimp quesadilla. All our meals were good tasting and temperature. Only bottled water at a cost of $2.50 which I thought a rip-off. Overall decent meals
We were seated Quick!! Food came out in average time and they were jamming!!!I will return and recommend!! This was the one near the beach!
DJ Khalad's restaurant: Parking is avaliable on the street, but you will have to drive around to look for a spot. I was suprised at the amount of seating inside. I thought it was smaller. It was a hip hop, casual type of vibe with the decor. Some food items are available depending on the location. Keep in mind, they have more than one. The staff is friendly, but the service is kinda slow. I finally received my drink have way through my meal. If you eat Conch, I recommend it as a good choice for appetizer. The Shrimp Croissant was very good as well. Never had something like that before. All the food was seasoned well, and tasted amazing. I would recommend this spot especially for anyone visiting the area.
