Let me down. Nothing was good . The rice was outlandishly bland, the Mac and cheese tasted like processed cheese, the macaroni salad tasted overly vinegary. Conch wasn't very crispy . All this and the food was extremely expensive. The only redeeming quality of this place was the buttercream cake which was actually very good. read more

My first time visiting Miami and the restaurant close to the hotel . We order the pork chop sandwich and Fried Fish dinner. Very disappointing . The pork Chops were very tough inedible. Fish was okay seasoning in the batter but not the actual fish. We were hoping for a better experience. read more

Conch It Up Soul Food is a true hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warm hospitality and the kind of comforting aroma that lets you know you're about to eat good. The food is absolutely phenomenal perfectly seasoned, full of flavor, and made with love. The conch dishes are the star of the show, cooked to perfection and packed with that authentic island-soul flavor. But honestly, every plate feels like home. The portions are generous, the sides are on point (especially the mac & cheese and collard greens), and you can tell nothing is rushed. If you're looking for real soul food with a unique island twist, Conch It Up delivers every single time. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a meal that feeds both the stomach and the soul! read more

TRUE MIAMI PLACE. The owner is great, great energy, spirits, and helped pick out the right food. I ordered the conch and shrimp with Mac n chz and collard greens and wings and fries. I wanted the conch fritters but she ran out of batter--which is perfectly fine cause i can't wait to go back and visit! It's definitely a take out spot but we'll worth it. Sorry i forgot to take pictures of the food, I was hungry and it looked and smelled good. 10/10-highly recommended! read more

We just returned from our Carnival Horizon Caribbean cruise and wanted to eat some great tasting conch on our last night in Miami. Thank goodness we found "Conch It Up Soul Food." The owner (wish I had got her name) was so hospitable and accommodating. This was in addition to the great food we enjoyed. They make the best conch, shrimp and wings we had tasted in Miami. All the sides were fabulous from the greens, mac n cheese and rice. This was true Miami style, from all the famous people on the wall in photos to their delicious food and great hospitality. We appreciate all your hard work and look forward to visiting again on our next trip to Miami. Can't forget the great tasting desserts, butter crème cake and sweet potato pie. (Forgot to take a pic) We highly recommend you stop by. We hate the rest of our family won't be able try it since they leave on Monday and your restaurant is closed. They plan to try on their next visit as well! read more

I found this spot driving by with both of my managers and as a foodie always looking out for good pop ups in the city, I thought it'd be a good place to check out for lunch. MAN, am I happy we did! As a local, I really enjoyed how there was a sense of history and community right when you walked in. It wasn't filled with tourist, but instead with loyal, local customers. I also loved how the owner, Noreese, was behind the counter greeting everyone who walked in with a huge smile and making sure that each order was sent out with lots of love. The food is AMAZING.. the fish and conch weren't overcooked and the breading was light and actually stayed together. The one thing we wish they had was lemon pepper seasoning. However, this place is definitely a hidden gem worth exploring. I will definitely be coming back to this spot, and I look forward to trying all the amazing food they have! read more

Conch It Up Soul Food - Best place everrrrr - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

I had to wait until I ate everything that I bought to sit down and write a sound review. So this morning I awoke knowing that I wanted conch salad today. Of course, I went on Yelp and did search for "conch salad" to see what popped up in my area as the results. I also was determined to try something new instead of going to my favorite go to restaurants. Anywho a bunch of places came up, this being one of them and I read the reviews before making a decision. I took note of the time it opened, what I had to do and planned my day. I figured by the time I get done running the few errands that I needed to, they would be good and open for business...WRONG! One thing about me is that I am a stickler about time, especially MY time. I pulled up, parked at the church and proceeded to walk to the restaurant. *yanks on the door* It's locked. I note the time on the door for Saturday; 11:00am-10:pm. Now keep in mind this is even earlier than what Yelp is reporting as the opening time which is 11:30am. So i sat in my car for bit. Luckily about 15 minutes later a car pulls up and two females get out. I initially thought they were patrons but when they didn't come back, I walked back over to the restaurant and pulled on the door again; still locked. This time one of the young lady's who I saw pull up, came to the door and informed me that they weren't open yet. I then asked what time would they be opened, she replied "the grease have to heat up first." So i say "30-45 minutes?" She replies yes. So I told her that I'd wait. This happened at 12:30. A whole hour after the Yelp reported opening time and an hour and a half after their posted opening time. So I go back to my car and wait. Maybe about 15 minutes later the other female that I witnessed pull up, left. I thought she was perhaps just dropping the other girl off but she came back with some supplies from the store. I later learned, once I finally made it inside, that she was the cook; but we haven't gotten there yet. Now it's just shy of 40 minutes and I call this time instead of walking to the front of the restaurant and ask if they were open. Again I am told no and asked when would they be open. She told me "in a few minutes." Fifty minutes later I was finally able to pull on the door handle and it opened. The place itself is kind of small but that doesn't bother me because I'm never looking to eat in anyway with this type of food; especially since I live so close. They have a bench for people waiting to get their food though. To get the full experience, I ordered the conch salad, fried conch and flop. These were all of the things that people left reviews about that were good and they weren't wrong. Let's talk about the conch and fries. I asked for my conch to fried hard. It wasn't fried hard to my liking but it was fine. It was seasoned to perfection and was plentiful. I even have some left over because I got full. The fries even had some seasoning to it. The flop was great. It wasn't as sweet as someone had claimed it to be but then again maybe I'm that weird person that like my drinks to be sweet. Who knows? Now the conch salad was beyond on point; it was mouth-tastic. One of the best, glad it's close to my house, conch salad's that I have had in awhile. It was already pre-seasoned and while it was close to being too salty for my taste buds, it was still delicious. I hate that they only had the one. I even asked but she said the person wasn't making anymore. So I was sure to take that one. I initially planned to buy two. If I don't come back for nothing else, I coming back for that conch salad. For everything, I spent $23 and it was worth every penny. The 3 stars are primarily for the length of time I had to wait. They either need to do a better job of opening on time or adjust their business hours because between Yelp and their posted hours, it is a little misleading. Next time I come, I will be sure to come well into the afternoon. And a word of advice to you all, don't come so close to their opening time (whichever that is). Give them some time to open and get the grease hot. read more

I love seafood, but conch is my favorite. I wanted some really good conch salad and someone told me about this soul food restaurant. When I say this restaurant has the VERY BEST conch salad, I really mean it. The conch salad has a Lil kick to it (kind of spicy), has a lot of conch in it with delicious seasonings and fresh onions, green peppers and tomatoes. I went back last night and early today. They have a $5 and $10 cup. They also have other food you can try like fried chicken wings, ribs, fish, chicken souse, fried conch, steak and shrimp. Their sides are fries, Mac and cheese, potato salad and salad. The owners are very pleasant and the restaurant is clean. They cook to order, so it's better to call in your order unless you like to wait while your food is being prepared. They also have delicious lemon cake which is very moist with tasty frosting. I saw red velvet cake and pie as well. p.s., the prices are extremely reasonable and they give you a good amount of food. My family and I will definitely be back soon. I will post my pics of the food and the restaurant for you to view. read more

Sweet Jesus The food was so good! The fried conch was cooked just right, not overcooked to the point where it was just dusty and not too undercooked to where it was like chewing gum. The macaroni and cheese was itis triggering and seasoned like baked macaroni and cheese should be. I definitely recommend this spot, it may be a little hard to find because it's a hole in the wall but it's deserving of the money. Check it out! read more

Conch It Up Soul Food - Conch dinner - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

Went for a stewed conch dinner and ended up with more rice chunky tomatoes and large green peppers over half the plate !! Then on top of that I told the young girl at te counter my name and after two times of saying it incorrect she insists that she said my name appropriately like forget what I thought about it lol. $24 plate was not worth it and I've had way better customer service. 1st time experience spending that much for 1 meal I'll be better off elsewhere. Fruit punch was fire asf tho. Super good but that meal nah I wish I could get my money back but I ordered through grub hub never even finished it. I grew up in this neighborhood and my mom owns two houses over here.. They should be ashamed of the girls poor customer service and definitely the stewed conch meal was a 6/10 just imo‍Max n cheese wasn't the real Mac n cheese and looked like some type of pasta shell with cheese on it smh read more

Conch It Up Soul Food - Stew Conch Dinner - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

This establishment offers southern style seafood at it's best. My daughter and I ordered the Shrimp, Conch, Fish w/ fries and a drink. It was a lunch special. The portion size was right on point. The food was finger licking good, seasoned to perfection. The owner was very nice and attentive. Their prices are very reasonable in comparison to portion size. I can't not stress the taste enough. It was very refreshing to have seafood seasoned the way it should be. This establishment is indeed a hidden gem. If you don't look closely, you'll definitely miss it. I will definitely be returning when I visit Miami again!! Please stop by and try for yourself!! You will NOT be disappointed!!! read more

O-M-G!!! Just thinking about the food my husband and I received when we ordered from this place has my mouth watering. Everytime we go down south to visit my husband's family I always visit Miami because I love the food, whether it be food from the Caribbean islands or just good ole Soul Food, this time did not disappoint. I located this place based on a Yelp search and found that it was in the heart of Miami, not one of the tourist areas, which is always a plus for me. The building is located on a semi-busy street and you have to park on the side of another building and walk a short distance down a sidewalk in order to access the building, but it's totally worth it. It's been a few months now, but I'm sure I ordered a conch fritter, sweet potato pie, french fries and maybe shrimp, it doesn't matter, ALL of it was good. The sweet potato pie was EVERYTHING! I should have ordered 2 slices. The prices were also amazing. We'll definitely come back to this place. read more

Well, me being the foodie that I am, I was in the mood for some soul/seafood type of meal. I initially visited last Friday, and ordered conch/shrimp and fries. I entered the restaurant and it was pretty much empty, this was my first time coming here and I noticed their quirky picture menu posted on the wall with other signs of lunch and dinner specials there too. The restaurant had a displays full of different flavor cakes and pies. I was in the mood for conch and I made an order of conch and fries with a slice of red velvet cake. I liked the fact that everything is made to order. My meal took an approximately 7-8 minutes to be made, which to my personal opinion is good timing. The set up is to-go orders only, there is really no tables just a seating area to wait for your meal, which is a bummer. I dressed my conch and shrimp with hot sauce, ketchup, mustard, and a drizzle of lemon juice, I wanted some cake and ordered a slice of red velvet cake. My total for my meal was $21.00 with a ($1) charge for using a credit card. When I arrived home, my mouth was really salivating and I was very hungry. My meal was luckily still warm and I began tearing up my meal. The conch very tender and juicy, the shrimps were jumbo and breaded. fries very seasoned and crispy. The meal was on point I couldn't complain. Let's talk about the cake, I'm a serious red velvet fan, and I personally make a killer red velvet myself, but I like to venture out to different restaurants and do a taste tests on cakes. The cake was moist, which is a plus, cream cheese icing was good, the taste was meh, mind you this my personal opinion you can go try it for yourself. It wasn't my tasty to my taste buds. While I was there I had noticed that they had lunch specials on the weekdays from 11am-3pm, it was my day off and I was hungry and I said let's see what lunch is about. I ordered the trio which consisted of fried conch, shrimp, fried fish, fries, and a drink for $7.99 and you can upgrade for a $1 more for a medium fruit punch or lemonade or $2 for a large. My meal arrived made to order and I was very satisfied with the whole ordeal. I highly recommend this restaurant if in the mood for soul food. I still gotta try to come again and have an actual dinner with rice and sides. Come and enjoy if in the city area. read more

I REALLY wanted to love this place! All the pictures looked so Delicious! Conch is my all time favorite thing to eat and I was so excited about tasting the conch! I ordered a lunch combo which included: conch(4 pieces of fried conch) shrimp (2 small fried shrimp)and fish (a half of fried Tilapia) combo which also comes with fries (handful) and a soda for $8.99 side of Mac & Cheese for 1.99 and a slice of red velvet cake for $4. The fried food was seasoned very good but the conch was extremely tough though which is why I gave them the 3 stars! I was so disappointed because I really wanted the conch to be great! The Mac & Cheese was ok, it needed some salt though. The service was fast as well being that I was the only customer. I will give them one more shot though! read more

Don't go here 0/10 recommend idk if it's because young people were running the kitchen but very expensive tasteless

Yooooo. So good I'm not from Miami, I was looking for a new fried Conch spot on my last visit and found this place. Came right when they opened. People were there but the food wasn't ready yet (small thing to a giant), so I placed my order with a young woman for fried fish, fried conch, fried shrimp and a conch salad. There's not really a seating area, just waiting benches so I sat amongst the company of portraits of Rick Ross, Trina and Trick Daddy. Food was ready within 15 minutes at most and smelled delicious! I took the food outside as my family and I scanned the area for a bench. None. I spot a funeral home with an empty lot close by and we go and park yo and eat the seafood on the hood of our car. We're about 1/4 way through when a gentleman comes out and tells us we have to move. Basically, take the food home if you have that option but if you're not going to do that find somewhere close by you can post up and eat first. Anyway. Flavour was amazing. Quantity and quality were amazing. Don't order fries with all of your meals they're really large portions. Oh and the conch salad was fresh and spiced perfectly! read more

The food at Conch It Up is so good. I was in Miami this past weekend and this is one of the places I found on google while searching for the best seafood. I ordered the Shrimp and Fries with a lemonade The shrimp are big, juicy, and full of flavor. The lemonade was way too sweet but maybe I'm the only weirdo that doesn't like it that way. I enjoyed it so much I went back the next day. Although the food is delicious the service could use some work. The cashier is not the friendliest and she made several smart mouthed remarks during I visit. My brother asked her for 4 forks because she didn't put any in our bags and she replied "why you need 4 forks you don't go 4 plates" because she thought she gave us forks. And then she asked my boyfriend why would he come all the way to Miami and order a salad. Yeah she was a mess but the food is worth going again. read more

The worse I have had in a long time the peas and rice beyond hard and dry with no taste mad as ever pork chop no season not done very disappointed and I went against the licking to try something new I hate I did. The potato pie is the best thing small but the only thing I'm able to eat always follow your first though read more

Everything I wanted they didn't have so I settled on the smothered pork chops, Mac n cheese & cabbage. The portions were generous, the best part of the meal was the Mac n cheese, the cabbage was sweet (gross) and the pork chops were under seasoned. read more

I gave this restaurant 4 stars because the food taste good and was well seasoned. I only had the trio lunch special which comes with 3 pieces of shrimp and conch each, with tilapia and fries. Not a big fan of tilapia, but still ate it. The only thing I can say it is the food was too wet and greasy, but overall still good tho. read more

It's good to see good food coming out of my childhood neighborhood. It's seafood driven soul food that only Miami can offer. You can't overlook the value you get on the porkchop sandwich. You get two bone in pork chops with lettuce and tomato for six bucks. The meat is super tender and it is fried super crispy. I also really liked the seafood. I got to sample a bit of the shrimp and conch and both were great. I was also really curious about the sweet and sour conch which seems in my mind like it could either be really good or horrible, but it good to see boundaries being pushed. read more

Great food, especially the conch salad and fried conch and shrimp combo with Mac and cheese. I will come back soon and get the fried conch, fries and a 2 slices of cake. read more

I loved the way they seasoned their fries, however the conch wasn't cooked fully. The batter was still soggy on some parts which made it impossible for me to eat it. Didn't like the shrimp either. They were fully cooked, I just didn't like them. read more

Well I came on a Thursday night at 8pm. On the door the sign states closed at 9pm. I called, the very first thing I hear "We're closed".

The person taking the order was rude and very unprofessional. He had his headphones on listening to music the entire time.

If I can give this place 0 stars I would first off prices went up and are extremely overpriced for the little to none food they give you ... I ordered 2 simple things which were mac&cheese and fried shrimp which was $13 bucks kinda pricey if you get a shrimp dinner it's 24 again super overpriced especially since the food was disgusting . Ok back to what I order the 6 piece shrimp was RAW and mushy I was sooooo hungry as well just waiting for my food to arrive to me because my mom actually brought me my food . Shrimp was raw mushy and completely wet at first I thought it was because of the lime they put inside the container and it was leaning on the shrimp , but no this was just completely not cooked at all my mom food tasted the same as well in total we spent $50 on food we had to throw away it was not edible at all . The. The mac&cheese was like a lasangua with no cheese first off they put it in a small circle plastic container so I made it super Squished and just not pleasant to eat it was so tough the cheese that was in it was literally sitting on the outside of the noodles also it was completely oily listen box Mac&cheese is completely better than this it's like dog food I was sooo disappointed because years ago the food use to be good but I have been since 2015 .... and currently just not getting food from them and it's completely nasty . Also customer service is completely not one they study because when I called about the food she was more upset at me than herself because she cooked some nasty food not me I paid I wanted a refund she aggressively shouted WE DON'T DO REFUNDS !!! So instead of fixing the situation which to me would've only been a refund she like bring it back I said it's in the garbage and I just throw up literally. I expected way better customer service the fact that she didn't even take accountability but just automatically upset showed me that this establishment is one I would never do business with again.... money wasted and was still left hungry !!!! read more

food was so fresh ....fried conch melt in your mouth not tuff...season really good....
