The hostess let us know we could order as long as we decided by 2:45. To our surprised two more tables of guest came in after us. Amongst the table we got the peach , passion fruit and mango lemonades. They were good but the mango was really sweet. Food wise we got salmon and grits, salmon blt, French toast sticks, and the oxtail Philly. The fries were nice and crunchy on the outside while still soft on the inside. The Philly came with a little juice on the side. French toast sticks were deep fried 8/10 Cheesesteak oxtail 8.5/10 Salmon and grits 10/10 Salmon blt 9/10

The flavors are not the same, the texture of the food has changed, and the seasoning was extremely bland. What once tasted fresh, flavorful, and carefully prepared now feels average and uninspired. The level of excellence and consistency that made this place stand out seems to be gone. I came back expecting the quality I had grown accustomed to and left wondering what happened. When you've supported a restaurant for a long time, you notice when the standards change -- and today, the difference was impossible to ignore. I truly hope management takes a serious look at the food quality and preparation, because this is nowhere near the experience I remember.

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.

Mack House is one of those tiny local spots where the charm comes from the people, not the polish…read more It's small, relaxed, and run by one guy who's doing everything at once pouring beers, chatting with guests, keeping the place moving. I asked for a sample of a dark beer and he handed me a full pint glass, then used the same glass for the actual pour. A little odd, a little funny, but somehow it fits the vibe here. It's not corporate, not scripted just a real local bar doing things their own way. The energy easy, and the beer solid. If you're looking for a polished taproom, this isn't it. But if you want a laid back spot with character and no pretense, Mack House has its own charm.

MICRO BREW OR DIVE BAR?…read more My wife's long blonde mane stood out in this boy's only pub. Took a center seat at the bar while watching the Miami Dolphin game. Nice in house brewed beers on tap but sadly no sours. The bartender poured an ice cold fifteen ounce Johnny's Brewtah Hazy 7.2% which was absolutely devine. Love the kegs lined against the wall with big bags of Malt piled up. Trivia On Tap every Monday at 730pm and free entry with beer purchase. Thirty-two ounce Growlers are offered for all nine craft beers at $15.00 each. The men's bathroom was the epitome of a dive bar and I took in every wonderful visual which my video will confirm.

This was me and my husband's first time at this restaurant. We decided to come here, because we…read morewere in the area and I saw the sign. We end up stopping by and saw an employee taking a break outside and told my husband where the menu was located. I chose turkey, Mac and cheese, collard greens and a side of potato salad. My husband ordered fried tilapia, yams, and lima beans. All dinners comes with a rice. We had pigeon peas and rice. My husband went in the restaurant to pick up the food. He came back and as I was looking over the food, I didn't see any cornbread. I saw the reviews on YELP, so I asked him to ask can we purchase cornbread or do they have any. The female employee stated she gave us some. No, we didn't have any. My husband came back to check and none was in our bag. She said that she gave us some. First of all, we would not ask for anything that we didn't pay for. If you look at how much we dine out, you would know that we spend money really well, and don't need any handouts. I was really disappointed! But anyway, she gave us what we were supposed to have, which was the cornbread what we NEVER received. My husband said he think that it was the owner that told the employee not to argue with the customer. That was unacceptable, PERIOD! :-( The food score: My food- collard greens-8 potato salad-4 Pigeon peas and rice-4 Turkey-8 Cornbread-10 Husband food- Fried tilapia-7 Pigeon peas and rice-6 Yams-6 Lima beans-5 Cornbread-10 *needed more seasoning on fish, and Lima beans.

However, if oxtail is on the menu, it's a no brainer for me. I got the oxtail with yellow rice, Mac and cheese and collard greens. My husband got the fried catfish with collard greens and sweet yams. My son ordered shrimp and grits which is his go to. You know the food is good when your head starts bobbing after the first bite like, "oh yeaaah!" We got a taste of each other's food and agreed everything was amazing! Our plates came with cornbread as well and portions are so generous. The gentleman and lady who took our order were super nice. My husband got 2 slices of lemon cake to go and said they were good. We will definitely be back next time we're in tbe area.

Louis was our server and he was very hospitable. We got to test the Bootlegger and the Pecan Whisky…read morebefore we ordered. That was a great perk! The bootlegger with the jalapeno pineapple infused moonshine is DELICIOUS. It's refreshing and light believe it or not! Next time I'll request sliced jalapeno's to add more kick! The whisky sour with the pecan whisky was good but a little too sweet. It was our first time and we were pleasantly surprised. The 'from scratch' concept is always something we appreciate. The kitchen being willing to accommodate a menu modification is the best. We tried multiple items on the menu and left with many leftovers as the portions were plenty. The table favorite with the appetizers were the drop biscuits! Holy tasty moly. The cinnamon butter and the soft creamy center was devine. The deviled eggs were very good. We would prefer a dill relish to cut the sweetness but overall very good. The corn ribs were great. Smokey and charred but still crunchy. The charred peppers were delicious! I think we would prefer the broccolini to be blanched prior to being charred just to soften it up. The burnt ends were very good. We're not used to them being cubed but more of a natural end from the point of the brisket and a little more burnt, but the whisky caramelized onions underneath are spot on. The brisket meat was the favorite. Tender and super flavorful. The pulled pork sliders were very good also but did not beat out the brisket. The black pepper and cheddar grits were very peppery but the cheddar wasn't as flavor forward. Very good though. I imagine the shrimp and grits is really good. The mac-n-cheese was very smokey and creamy. We appreciated the noodles not being overcooked. The loaded steak fries were also very good and crisp. Tons of flavor. I requested the protein bowl with pulled jackfruit vs the menu options. I opted for the root beer bbq sauce but I think it was too much sweet on top of sweet. It needed some heat more than the few slices of jalapenos on the top. It wasn't bad but the ingredients in the bowl are somewhat inert in flavor so adding hot sauce or more peppers would be better. The charred peppers would be a great add. Overall, our experience was awesome. I save my 5-star reviews for places that are superb but this place is definitely worth visiting.

This is some of THE BEST BBQ we have had in a long time!! The brisket and ribs were so tender and flavorful!!

The roasted corn was served differently than I expected, but still good! They cut a cob into small chunks which makes them less messy to eat! We are absolutely trying their Mexican street corn next time! The only mild critique I have is about the Mac-n-cheese. IMO way too salty. I asked for black pepper to try to balance it out. They did get some from the kitchen for me, but S&P is kinda a staple so would suggest making it more accessible. The service was phenomenal!! Tony is an incredible chef!

I believe the food is made to order, so be prepared to wait a little while, plus they were busy preparing lots of takeout orders. The seating area is small but casual.

This was our second time dining here; the first time being shortly after they opened. The restaurant is really beautiful inside with accents of green and gold and white. Outdoors, there's plenty of table space, a bar, and a stage for live music. It looked like it has been expanded since my first time there. I'm glad to see this restaurant doing well in Old Town Pompano. Our server was very friendly and assisted us with our questions about the menu. As we were there for brunch, we settled on fried green tomatoes Eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, and shrimp and grits. The fresh biscuits sounded so good that we ordered them. We should have asked for them to come out early, so we could enjoy them while we were waiting. However, we took them home and enjoyed them the next day. We also made the mistake of ordering a side of potatoes. That was definitely not necessary because two of the entrées came with potatoes, and we had more than plenty for the table. Again, something we enjoyed the next day. We were all impressed with what we ordered. Everything came out hot and cooked just as we had asked. My shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious. I also thought it was also nice that our server asked if we wanted to take our refilled drinks to go and prepared to go cups for us. This restaurant has been consistent for us, and I definitely plan to be back. Next time, I'd like to check out their live music scene and get a table outside when the weather gets a little cooler.
