    Spicy chicken Leroy
    Tim S.

    Surprisingly good food! I have been here a few times for lunch. I have a friend who prefers this spot as its between my office and hers. It doesn't look like much from the outside. Just your average little joint in a strip mall next to a gas station. To be fair, when you walk in, it doesn't seem like much either. An attempt at some decor was made years ago but not anything that would wow ya. The menu is cafe like with the sandwiches and salads. They have a few specials too. first time I was here, Buffalo Chicken Salad. I was trying to be healthy, but have an interesting salad. I gotta say, it was really good. just the other day we met up again and I was looking for something different. Right on the menu was a sandwich I never noticed before. The Spicy Leroy. Again, a healthy option as far as the grilled chicken (should have subbed out the fries though). The sandwich was original and, well spicy! It had a wicked kick to it but wasn't too hot. And those fries I shoulda skipped were some really good Texas style fries too. crisp but tasty potato in the middle. I should add, service is excellent here. Someone is at your table as you sit down to bring you waters. And one of the times that we got something that didn't seem right, they immediately replaced it. What more could ask for a nice hole in the wall cafe.

    Breakfast Speacial today.

    This mornings Breakfast Special was amazing. $7.69, can't beat it with a stick. As always the service was pleasant and speedy. Food was fresh and hot. Price was less than you might spend at McDonald's. Tucked away in a small corner of the plaza it's worth the stop. In 4 years I've never had a bad experience.

    Rotten salami
    Karina T.

    I took a bite of my sandwich & the taste was off. When i opened it, this is what the salami looked like. Who in their right mind would think this was edible?! It even smells rancid!

    The food was ok but nothing exciting, but it was a great value for the price. I had the turkey club sandwich which was good but needed more flavor. The fries needed more time in the fryer because they were a little soft. The staff was nice and friendly. The decor in the cafe is very dated and dark and their hours are limited. This is a good place for a quick cheap lunch. I'll probably return later to try another meal.

We were shocked to be told that they "do not allow strollers" anywhere inside or outside the restaurant. Our baby cannot sit on his own yet, so a stroller is absolutely necessary. We even tried to compromise and asked if we could sit in the bar area instead, but they still declined to accommodate us. As a result, we were completely turned away despite having a reservation. This restaurant is clearly not kid-friendly, and the lack of flexibility or empathy from the staff was extremely disappointing. Customer service like this is unacceptable, especially for families with infants. We won't be returning.

We were coming from Hallandale, we had an 8pm reservation got seated around 815 which wasn't too bad. We were sat in a dimmer quieter section away which I really appreciate since our 1 year old was sleeping giving us the perfect date-night setting. Unfortunately the last time we been to Shooters was Valentine's Day 2025. We weren't aware that the menu had been changed since our last time dining which was rather unfortunate since the two entrees (seared brown butter scallops & shrimp and grilled soy-ginger glazed salmon) we came for were changed on the menu. We ended up getting the soy glazed salmon and scallops & prawns which unfortunately we did not enjoy at all. Even the sides were different previously you could just get a side of Mac now you can only get a side of truffle Mac? The grilled soy ginger salmon was on a bed of veggies (bok choy, Napa cabbage, onions, peppers) the one that's currently on the menu was basically on two inedible pieces of bok choy and a bed of rice I couldn't even break and chew the bok choy. Our server Ava was very attentive and sweet even gave a beautiful little treat for a birthday dessert ( not a chocolate fan but her energy made the dessert amazing ). After we paid our check we asked Ava for a manager and did specify that it was regarding the food more and not her service. I didn't catch the name of the manager we spoke to but her response to us simply questioning the menu change was she's not the culinary director or something along those lines but she would still hear our feedback. She just had such an I don't care attitude about it in my opinion and had I not had a few drinks in my system, trying to enjoy my time out with my family and birthday I would've let her know her attitude regarding it just was unnecessary. We unfortunately agreed to find a new go-to restaurant to celebrate our special occasions since so much has changed. Thank you so much to Ava for making our visit worth it! Didn't get pictures of the salmon, scallops, drinks or oysters that we got but I did get the fish dip and the dessert. Edited to add pictures from one of our previous visits

The lovely hostess guided us to a booth by a window. We were greeted by our equally lovely server Jazmin (sp?). Btw, she rocks! Upon perusing the lunch menu we jumped at the deviled eggs appetizer. These beauties were two beet stained eggs cut in half topped with a spicy yolk filling and garnished with scallions, chicken skin crunch and trout roe. OH MY! My dear friend and dining companion was leaning towards a salad but we put on our thinking caps and decided that the fried chicken entree, which was accompanied by two sides and a biscuit was the best bang for our taste buds. And indeed it was. She ordered two pieces with greens and mac + cheese while I chose three pieces (thinking ahead to lunch tomorrow) plus the mac chz plus sweet potato soufflé (that was Thanksgiving babe!). The chicken was fresh out of the fryer and we had nothing but praise for the sides. To top it off...Nanner Puddin'! Just like mom made but no Jello pudding here. Amazing. Since it was a weekday, we got to meet the chef and give kudos. (He's a happy dude) I wouldn't care to come here on the weekend when it's packed but I can see why folks do. The place is enormous with a huge outside venue and a sprawling banyan tree. Plus the Sunday brunch menu is tempting. But for a chill lunch with nice employees and scrumptious food on a Thursday, we were star struck and satisfied.

    Came here for Mother's Day with a reservation and got seated right away. I loved the aesthetic --…read morethe green and gold decor was really pretty, and surprisingly it wasn't too packed for a Sunday around 4:45 PM. I also really liked how spacious the restaurant felt. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a cute outdoor bar area with stools where you can eat and hang out, which gave the place a really nice vibe. The music was a great mix of R&B and oldies too. Now let's talk service... for me, service is everything, and unfortunately that's what made this experience disappointing. Our waitress, Haley, was pretty inattentive throughout the meal. We asked for extra Caesar dressing and never got it, and it was honestly hard to get a hold of her most of the time. Because of that alone, I'd probably think twice before coming back. As for the food -- it was hit or miss. We started with the wings as an appetizer. They were flavorful, but nothing memorable. I'd probably skip them next time and try something else. I ordered the crispy Cobb salad because it sounded amazing on the menu, but it was a letdown. It was mostly lettuce with barely any chicken, and I had to mix the whole salad myself. At a restaurant, I kind of expect a Cobb salad to come already tossed together. Also... no blue cheese available? Come on now lol. My boyfriend got the fried chicken with sweet potato fries and mac & cheese. I will say, everything came out HOT, so you can tell the food is made fresh. The mac & cheese didn't look impressive at first, but it tasted SO good. The sweet potato fries were delicious too. My sister ordered the lobster pasta, and honestly the portion size shocked me in the best way. They were generous with the lobster, which almost never happens, and she loved it. My daughter got the crispy chicken sandwich and said it was the best sandwich she's ever had, so that was definitely a win. Overall, the food itself wasn't bad at all -- my salad was just a flop. If the service had been better, this review probably would've been very different. Not sure if I'd come back, but maybe on a different day with a different server.
