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 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.
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.
The chicken egg rolls are FIRE! The bake chicken bland but salty at the same time. The noodles in the Mac and cheese was overcooked and it lacked flavor. The collard greens was perfect! I’ll try em again. Definitely getting the egg rolls again!
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!
Great establishment! Food was really good and seasoned!! I had the Fried Lobster Tail, Mac and Cheese, and Collards while my boyfriend enjoyed the Chicken and Red Velvet Waffles. Everything was good! Service was a little slow but worth the wait. Was immediately greeted and seated once we arrived and the music and ambiance was cool. It was a vibe!
Did a Solo Birthday Trip to Miami and The Licking was Highly recommended! Great Customer Service, Clean Bathrooms! That Red Snapper cooked to perfection yummi crispy and flavorful , Veggie rice, yams and the Mystery lemonade was delicious lol I added a Lil razzle dazzle overall great experience will return
Absolutely loved this place! Black owned and the food is delicious. We ordered a little bit of everything and will definitely return when we vacation here again! 10/10
First off I enjoyed my experience at The Licking. The only issue I had is that one of waitress promised to seat up ASAP but seated another couple before us. However, another waitress witnessed what happened and addressed the issue by making sure we were seated. If you’re looking for a fancy restaurant than this is not your place. However, the atmosphere was nice & everyone in there was nice. This place is more urban and plays rap music which is ok for me. The food was delicious. I had the lemon pepper wings. They were seasoned and fried to perfection. The mac & cheese was good and flavorful. The candy yams was good. The fried shrimp, fries calamari and fried broccoli was very tasty & fresh. The Lemonades are the best. The mystery drink is my favorite. I definitely would visit again.
The service was and I imagine will always be amazing. The young lady who received my order was patient, attentive and possessed a very pretty smile. She made me feel as though I was the only customer in the restaurant as I placed my order and as I picked it up to depart. I chose to feast on the grilled snapper, veggie rice and candied yams. 🤤 Two thumbs up. 👍🏾👍🏾 I was extremely satisfied. That was 4hrs ago. I am still filled with greatness.
