Their food overall is good but I had to give them a low score because the fries are not too tasty. They are dry and we're a little overcooked and the garlic Parmesan wings had a thick cheese mixed with the sauce which I would've just preferred the sauce, no cheese, so it took away from the flavor of the chicken wings. read more

Chef Yank's - a tray of chicken wings and fries - Southern Near Me - Miami, Florida

There's not enough good things to say about Chef yank. I literally order here weekly and the food always hits differently. This spot is no joke! In my humble opinion, this has to be a must visit on any Miami itinerary. From the fried fish to the mouthwatering chicken, everything at Chef Yank is stellar. My favorite is the fried chicken wing special. The chicken was juicy, perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of crunch. Service is fast and the staff were very friendly. My food was prepared quickly, and accurately. If you're trying to get some well seasoned food this is the place to visit. read more

The food was not good at all. I literally took one bite and threw the whole plate in the trash.

I arrived at 1105am... the girl that works there GHETTO AF!! My sister asks for Bbq Ribs and she tells her it's still breakfast, even though on the special menu it says breakfast until 11am... So then she has to verify if its breakfast or lunch but we let that go.... then they have no sides!! Only green beans, collards and rice.... nothing on the menu was available. They force you to get a starch, so we asked for mac, but forced to get rice ... We let that go as well The register girl then tells me I have to order 2 fried pork chops even though the special says 1 for $3 or 2 for $5... but whatever I let it go, bc I was tired of telling her THEIR SPECIALS that's POSTED CLEARLY ON THE WALL.... I let this go, bci understand it doesn't take a college educated person to be a register girl Then as we waited another two ladies came in with cash, the register girl calls the owner on SPEAKERPHONE (SOOOOO UNPROFESSIONAL) and basically he says if they dont have change they cant serve them.... their meal was $10.70... so my sister and I helped them with the change since the owner didn't care about the store having change.... Then the cook comes out and ask if bbq sauce comes on the ribs even though that's what was ordered and on the receipt... we let that go Doordash and postmates orders are prioritized over walk in orders... the register girl was talking slick about the door dash lady IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS!!! And this is who represents the company brand and image ‍‍‍ Another 45min go by, and I realize my sister food is ready, but not mine... no worries, we continue to wait.... Then at 1207, (1hr 2 min later) the register girl comes out and asked if I wanted a grilled pork chop and then this is where I asked for a refund, because now it's over an HOUR and i never once asked for grilled anything.... So she calls the owner again on SPEAKERPHONE and he says i cant get a refund unless he's there. So i asked to speak to him, and basically he says he's on his way.... but 45 min earlier when they said the store didnt have change, you should've made it a priority to show up... I TRIED explaining to him over the phone that I've waited over an hour but NOT ONCE AN APOLOGY.... still nothing!! Oh not to mention he used profanity l. Even though he claims he did not curse "At Me", as a customer I should NOT have heard him curse AT ALL!! Then so another 20 min goes by and I've called the police by this point... the owner keeps trying to speak back to me, but there is no reason I just want a refund receipt and to leave... (not to mention I live in Baltimore so if I didn't get a receipt. Then what???) He then comes in FINALLY after another 20mins of waiting and says, "If you would've taken the phone you would have known you didn't have to wait:... STILL NO APOLOGY!!! But let's get this straight... I dont know this owner from a crackhead on the street, but he tried to tell me I could've left and he would've refunded me my money. I dont know you bro, I've waited an hour PLUS and if this is how you operate you really believe I trust you enough to do a refund once I leave... really, you dont even believe that That's like going to Walmart, returning an item and they say we wont give you a return receipt but we'll send it when the owner gets in... REALLY?!?!?! Then the little ghetto register girl tried me, she talk big game, but she IS DEFINITELY not about that life. She a behind the counter thug with no action to back it up NONE... It took her mother to come from the back crying hysterically bc her momma knew what was best... is ALL FACTS!! CUSTOMER SERVICE is a 0. I understand this is a little hole in the wall food spot, but basic customer service goes a longggg way. If anyone goes to a place and wait an hour , the LEAST I could've gotten was an apology... "Ma'am I apologize for the inconvenience, the owner is on his way, and should be here shortly. I'm sorry you had to wait over an hour" BOOM!! but nooooo, NOONE TOOK ACCOUNTABILITY So the reason they received one star is because I have to, and even though the owner still DID NOT apologize, he gave me a FULL refund and I even told him my sister got her food and he said we were good - and I then went to get a sweet tea from McDonald's bc over an hour is UNACCEPTABLE. If I don't accept that kind of service in a 4-5 star establishment, why would I accept it there? I really wanted to try this place, but that'll be a HELL NAW. My honest wishes is for Chef Yank, to really properly train his staff on Customer Service Excellence. ...and also to hire more staff, if it takes an hour to serve walk-in customers I Always want to support black owned businesses, but if I gotta get the side of unprofessionalism and attitude after waiting over an hour --- &&& people that came after me got their food before me,then it's a problem Oh btw... my sister said the ribs were good, but the mashed potatoes and collards were just o.k. read more

Chef Yank's - Inside of Chef Yanks - Southern Near Me - Miami, Florida

Been coming to Northside for years and I came across Chef Yank's Instagram and saw that they had relocated in the Northside Plaza. I saw so many tasty pictures and made a promise to myself that the next time I came to do my nails, I was going to check them out. I decided to do my nails the day before Thanksgiving and I wasn't thinking that everyone and their mother was off, it literally took me thirty minutes to find parking. Before doing my nails, I went to Chef Yank's to check out their menu, they were running $5 lunch specials and my kids wanted spaghetti. The combo included corn or broccoli and garlic bread. I paid for the meals and instructed her that I'll call them before I finished and would come and pick up my meals. I knew the that the flea market closed at 7pm and I had ample time to pick up the food. I did my nails which took like two hours, went to my hair dresser another two hours. I luckily finished by 6:30 p.m. I called Chef Yank's before leaving and saw that no one was picking the phone and it was going straight to voicemail. I hauled butt to the restaurant because the menu and door stated that it closed at 9p.m. (that was a lie!!!) I was 38 degrees hot leaving from there and ended spending extra money and buying them KFC. So, I returned today, I had no intentions of cooking and knowingly said I have a $15 dollar credit because I didn't receive my meals. I greeted the server and stated,"Do you remember me from Wednesday?" She said, "yes". I advised her that I came at 6:30 and all the lights were off and she said that they were opened. (Anyways) I asked her if I was able to get my meals today and she said yes. I added a Garlic shrimp pasta with broccoli and it was served with two pieces of garlic bread. Since I was with Mama Dukes and wanted to eat only a small amount I shared my plate with her. I pretty much had a forty-five minute wait for the meal since everything is cooked to order. I sampled the garlic butter shrimp and the broccoli, the taste was amazing. My mother loved the broccoli also and my kids loved their spaghetti. I saw other items on the menu such as burgers, salads, soups, and whole meals. They run a $3 breakfast special (grits, toast, egg, sausage) till 11 a.m. Like I said I was a little disappointed with the early closure, but the food was on point. Also there is no sit-in, everything is to go. I'm going to come for breakfast to see if its good as it looks. read more

The food was very good, I have no complaints about it but the wait time was horrible; I had to wait 50 minutes for the fried rib platter and some fries, and there wasn't a lot of people that came inside the restaurant either. I would recommend eating their food if you're curious, but please order in advance before coming so you won't waste any time. read more

Chef Yank's - Fried Rib Platter - Southern Near Me - Miami, Florida

First off, HORRIBLE customer service. I saw the reviews but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. The lady at the front was beyond rude to the point I couldn't even finish my order. They did not have enough change and when I offered to go get change while they work on my order she arrogantly responded they don't do that. Since this isn't the first complain I see about her on here, I hope management handles it accordingly. DO NOT waste your time here. read more

I live across the street but I ordered via uber eat because I couldn't leave my house. I ordered fish and grits with eggs and corn beef hash. Subpar. Would be order again? Probably not breakfast. The grits were a bit watery, eggs watery, fish tough and the cornbeef hash was the best thing on the plate, even that was a bit burnt. Im willing to give a 2nd try at lunch and to also pick up the food myself to get a feel of the service read more

Firstly I just want to say that I support all Black owned businesses. This was the worst experience I've had in Miami. I get that we are going through a pandemic but if you are choosing to remain open and serve people you should do that with a smile on your face. Not being rude to your customers and messing up my entire order. Not one thing came out right at all. Will never come back here again. read more

Someone brought me food from here once and it's ok to me. The fries were basic and my wings weren't fried hard. They were very soggy. The fried conch was ok. The sauce that it came with helped the flavor of it. It wasn't seasoned enough to me. I would like to give this place another try and go and order myself. read more

Decent food at best but horrible service and wait for food is outrageous. Lady at the counter always has bad attitude. Will never come back again and won't never recommend to anyone read more

This place is inside the corridors of the shopping plaza. It depends what you get but the food is mostly good. Usually everyone gets it to go. While it's not a destination spot, it still serves some good "soul" food if you are nearby. There are a couple of stores in this plaza but the market upstairs is 80% barbershop & salons read more

This has become my go to for work lunch, the food is delicious and reliable. Anything I have tried has not disappointed !

Delicious!! Perfectly seasoned food! I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu! read more

I found out about this place through Uber eats and I can say I'm not usually into trying new places unless I go in person but this place was fairly good. I order their shrimp Alfredo and it arrived pretty quickly being that it is up the street from my neighborhood. The portion size was nice my only complaint would be that the pasta really had no flavor read more

Waited 3 Hours for food and never received it. Should not accept orders if you know the wait will be long as f***

The food is good and the prices are decent, but the lady's attitude at the front desk makes everything bad, I never come back there again.

Visited the new location today. There was a log on the table with a roach on it, along with 2 tubs of meat for the grill. I told the lady behind the counter. She picked it up & screamed when she realized she touched the roach, then she says oh it's dead. Then places it on the floor goes back behind the counter without washing her hands at all. I love supporting black businesses but we must do better. read more

It's my second time eating here, and the food has been more then good. I've tried the fried ribs and shrimp and grits today. I swear it was everything my taste buds was looking for. Will definitely be going back again! read more

This was far off one of the most disgusting place I've ever tried I found it in yelp and regret going I actually threw the food in the bushes the pasta was cheesy as hell sigh grease in it. On top of that the use regular spaghetti instead of fettuccine pasta plain flat out DISGUSTING I would never recommend this place. I asked if I can substitute the pasta for some fries they told me NO. Which I find very bizarre I didn't want the money back just fries very rude customer service and they can't answer with precise answers the good is overall disgusting. Save yourself the trip. read more

DONT EAT HERE . They are dirty and the chef cant tell the differance between a bread tie and lettuce. Wish I had a picture to show yall but my phone had died. read more

I ordered Postmates from this restaurant today, everything was super nasty, the Mac and cheeses was gross like I can't stress it, I got lemon pepper wings and they were so hard to eat cuz they put so much sauce I guess like it was bitter asf!!!! Don't eat here guys, never again I lost money but whatever I learned my lesson! read more

Have you wait half a hour for some 15min food smh longest weight every for the simplest food I swear

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I ordered using a delivery service and if their food is any reflection of the value they place on their customers, please stay far away! Their menu included fries as part of the combo yet the only thing paired with the raw wings covered in watered down sauce, was disappointment from me realizing I spent $21 on meat I could've enjoyed straight out of my deep freezer. I won't even divulge on the details of what should have been a separate order of $3 mac n cheese, that they decided to mix in with the watered down sauced wings. Buyers beware! You've been warned! read more

This place is incredible. Stopped here on the way to get my nails done for a quick snack. Ended up getting the Salmon burger and splitting it. It was incredible. Perfectly cooked. Fries were seasoned excellently. The music was nice and chill, and the food was out quickly. Like 10 minutes from ticket to eatting. Plus great prices. Super happy, will definitely be back!! read more

Visited chef yank's spot today...after a friend of mind told me about this place....at first I was a lil skeptical about the location which is in the middle of a bunch of warehouses next to a cement manufacture....but inside the restaurant is very! Clean! There's a recording studio downstairs..as you waited for your food to get done..you can hear the music playing...the people are friendly....and the food is amazing!! I had chicken pasta, Mac-n-cheese with bacon....and those damn!! Delicious chicken wings!!! DEFINITELY A MUST!! If you ever in the Miami / opa locka area... read more

I had wings and shrimp. It's was so good. I was surprised. I expected some little rubbery shrimp and I received some jumbo succulent shrimp. Fried to perfection. I wish I had a picture to show but I ate my food too fast. The employee taking my order was nice and respectful. I will be back again. read more

Not only was the customer service on point from beginning to end, but the food was phenomenal and made with a lot of love! I called Chef Yank's and inquired about potentially getting some catering done. They answered all of my questions and told me that they needed 48 hours notice and needed to come in to put down a 50% deposit. We decided on getting a large tin pan of BBQ Chicken and a large 2inch pan of Mac n Cheese (feeds 15-20 people). When I went in to put down the deposit, the woman working the front of house, let me try both of the BBQ sauce they had to offer, "Hood Sauce" and "Carolina Gold." The Hood Sauce, to me, was tangy, peppery and had a kick. The Carolina Gold was tangy and sweet. I opted for the Carolina Gold. It was so delicious on the juicy chicken. Everything was made fresh, hot and on time. The Mac and cheese was perfection!!! Had that nice baked, lightly brown crust on the top. It was a hit and everyone enjoyed it!! Price point was very affordable. We will definitely have Chef Yank cater for us again. It would be perfect for any function you have going on or just to have a nice BBQ picnic by the beach. read more

I remember when they was located in them warehouse's on NW 135th st, but today was my first day trying out the chicken Alfredo pasta and im very disappointed because chef yank put his foot in everything else he makes or she but man I was not satisfied with the pasta, nor my co workers that I got plates for. Alfredo is suppose to be creamy with the Fettuccine noodles plus we did not like that cheese that was on the pasta.. Make it creamyyy then I think ill order it again for a second time. But everything else be on point!!!! read more

Wow. If chef yanks mission when he walks into that studios kitchen every day is to sweep a motherfuckers taste buds right off their feet, then mission accomplished. Anything from the tequila bbq wings, fried conch, or his quesadillas are dumb fire. Yank, you are a five star chef read more

Man Oh Man I've been going to chef yank for as long as i could remember! the food here is amazing from the wings, shrimp, conch fritters, conch balls, mac and cheese, seafood rice, loaded fries, backed potato, shrimp salad, and burgers! their all amazing and worth it. he has been closed for the past three months due to relocation but hes back now and better than ever! Don't forget to stop buy and say you've seen an amazing review by Jasmine Lol read more

Y'all tripping if you don't come here, their chef yanks burger is amazing with juiciness coming from the flavor of the sauce and the egg.

Great food and good waiting time, very nice lady, but the guy cashier was kind of rude. Overall nice experience, will be going back!

Food here is so good... so far I had chicken and waffles and the fried turkey and sweet plantains special. Everything was authentic. He have great specials ranging from $5-$12!!! read more
