    It’s sad when you want to support black and brown establishments but they just don’t have their stuff together. The restaurant was grossly understaffed, and the wait was at least 45 minutes for a simple order that should’ve took 5 to 10 minutes at most. The young lady at the register had the whole restaurant to herself without any help in the front and ran out of change so she had to wait for manager to come with more cash. The food was good, but everything else is ghetto as hell. I won’t be coming back.

    Maybe it was this particular location but it didn’t live up to the hype. The meats seemed to be fresh but corn, rice, and green beans were clearly frozen or canned. The wings were pretty good and so were the tenders. The music was loud af and it was dark and dirty in the restaurant.

    Omg! The snapper is out of this world! They definitely got it right when it comes to frying fish! The grits were bland, and needed some salt pepper, and cheese. The green beans were a little too salty for my liking but the flavor was good. The yams, I didn't like them at all. They were not sweet or tender enough... The atmosphere was cool, a little on the dark side but cozy.

    After a long day of traveling we just wanted something good to eat and this was the first place that came up on Grub Hub with something we'd all eat. I usually wouldn't even consider a restaurant with a less than 4 rating, but I'm SO glad we did!! Our delivery came way faster than we thought it would, so that was good. As for the food, I had grilled chicken breast with candied yams and mac & cheese; everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious! The yams were not canned mush that you get at some places, the chicken was tender and perfectly cooked and the mac & cheese was so creamy! I would definitely eat here again and recommend it to anyone traveling in Miami.

    This meal was the highlight of our soul food epicurean excursion while in Miami and it did not disappoint! EVERY dish was beyond flavourful absolutely no complaints on the entire meal. Hats off to the kitchen crew/chefs, whatever you are doing keep doing it! Dining area is kind of small and does get crowded so be prepared to wait if it is. Definitely will be back whenever I am in the 305!

    The customer service wasn’t so great, my daughter ask for sauces for her shrimp and never received it. The fish and shrimp had absolutely no seasoning, the rice was dry and hard. Very disappointing…. The atmosphere is a nice lil vibe though. And decent drinks.

    This is the best southern food in Miami hands down, it’s seasoned to perfection. I’ve been to Vegas and Miami within the last 2 weeks and ate at over 10 restaurants and this was by far the best food. Wish I found this place sooner. Drinks were amazing and the atmosphere was a vibe and clean.

    First time here and it definitely did not live up to the hype. I was hoping DJ Khaled would come out of the back with my snapper, and then ‘another one’ but sadly not this time. Jokes aside, the snapper and fries were delicious. Everything else was mediocre. The macNcheese, chicken tenders, and grits were no good. Not worth the hype in my opinion. Given this is DJ Khaled co-owned and sponsored, this place is disappointing.
