It was beautifully cozy when I walked in and very inviting especially with the kind hostess's warm greeting. I wish I could remember her name although it resembled the name of a flower. she gave me some suggestions and answered my questions of flavors and items since it was my first time. I decided on gettjng the sushi bowl because they were out of focaccia at the time so my first choice will have to be revisited at another time. The sushi bowl as created beautifully and quickly I might add. It had a lot of different textures and flavors from the fresh vegetables and the dressing drizzle was so yummy I couldn't get enough of it. As a vegan I love finding small gems to call my hidden places of peace, space and yummy options. I can't wait to return wjth my kids so they can enjoy the menu as well. Definitely a must try.

From day one, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The food is consistently delicious, and the lattes are easily some of the best we've ever had crafted with care and always hitting the mark. But what really sets this place apart is the people behind it. The owners are genuinely incredible, warm, welcoming, and intentional about making sure every customer feels taken care of. You can feel the love and pride they put into their business, and it shows in every detail. It's places like this that remind us why supporting small, Black-owned businesses matters so much. Every visit leaves us appreciating it even more. If you're in the area and haven't stopped by yet, you're missing out.

Specials nightly include BBQ Chicken and Ribs, Meatlof and Rosemary Chicken, Taco Tuesday, Italian choices, and beef tenderloin. You may want to get there early and some of the local favorites do sell out. Take out seemed very popular, but there were a number of dine in customers. Everyone was very friendly and made sure that you are happy with your meal and beverages, as well as anything you may need. We asked about the nightly specials and were given everyone's favorite night and items. Not on the beaten path, but worth the time to find. Located just east of the Hwy 92 and Polk Parkway East intersection. The online map will take you right to a very nice and close parking area adjacent to the Grille. I highly recommend and hope you enjoy your visit to Angie's Kitchen. Here is a link: https://www.flhamptons.com/angies-kitchen-at-the-grille.html

The sandwiches run about $8 and the meals run $12 with a side salad and 2 vegetables. Our only complaint was an over 30 minute wait for the food when we were the only ones there at 4:30. The meatloaf special was filling and a huge portion. The meat itself was bland but the gravy was divine. Both the mashed potatoes and the scalloped potatoes were delicious. The California blend was good too. The corned beef reuben was delicious-ample meat, toasted marbled bread, great cheese, warm kraut. Staff is friendly tho' not quick with food or refills. They run 3 specials each night, with a full menu of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and entrees. I'm unsure of their new hours. They do fill orders to go. Alcohol (at least beer/wine) is served.

My wife ordered her favorite, the Southern Classic Salad, which is 2 citrus grilled chicken tenders on a bed of lettuce with a scoop of house-made guac, sliced egg, bacon, tomatoes, red onion, smoked gouda, cilantro corn, croutons and a citrus vinaigrette dressing. It was delicious as usual and a huge portion! She ended up taking half of it home for later. I went with the 2-piece Perfectly Fried Tenders, medium heat with sides of So Gouda Mac and Bourbon Baked Beans. The chicken pieces were quite large and were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat. The pieces were served on a piece of white bread with a pickle on top! The fried chicken is so good that I could eat here every day! We were both stuffed, so we skipped the Peach Cobbler and Banana pudding this time. It was a beautiful day, so we ate our lunch outside on the patio, entertained by the great 80's music and occasional police siren (since Florida Ave is a busy street). All in all, we had a fantastic time and will be coming back again soon! We both highly recommend Love Bird!

It's funny when you compare size, the grilled one is so small compared to the double fried super breaded other one. I asked for medium heat, but it really tasted mild. The Gouda Mac is good like always, but the dirty fries... Oh my God... So salty!!! You can literally see it's covered in salt crystals!! I only ate like three and had to throw out the rest, what a waste of a side. For dessert, I got their seasonal apple cobbler... Does not hit like the peach cobbler. Way too much cinnamon, not enough caramel just very blah. Overall, really disappointed with my lunch. I was not satisfied at all, and I will probably not be coming back for quite some time.

No air conditioning, gravel parking lot, simple tables in a screened in area and white bread served with the BBQ meat of your choice.
