I ordered the turkey, mac n cheese, string beans, and djon djon plate, and my husband got the jambalaya plate. And we got two drinks: cherry lemonade and fruit punch. 0/10. The turkey tasted old, the pickles were spoiled, the rice was disgusting, the mac n cheese tasted like boxed Velveeta mac and cheese with onion powder and garlic powder... no salt. My husband took a few bites from his food and said it just tasted like rice and shrimp, no flavor whatsoever. I'm convinced these people get paid to review this place. Never again! Edited response after reading the owner response: Instead of the owner taking ownership of their nasty food, they want to bd combative in the response left under my post. Someone else calls out the food being tasteless and gets asked to come back to make it right. My opinion on the food IS MY OPINION. I don't ever write reviews for people, but that I had too. WE COULDNT EVEN EAT THE FOOD, so we tossed it out when we got home and had to buy food elsewhere. It was unacceptable. We are not from Orlando, we are out of towners, so how can we come back??? The food is trash and that's that and you pay for reviews PERIOD! If it weren't paid it would be better. I'm not the only one saying the food is nasty. Accept the fact and be better. Claiming to come back and speak to you as if one can speak to an owner behind a window... please. I still stand ten toes on my review! They have zero decorum, piss poor attitudes and customer service. I should have called the health department and report them for serving Poor quality food Since they want to be nasty to people who don't leave them positive reviews.

I pay an Uber to get here so I'm very frustrated about that because I couldn't eat my food. I ordered two pastries one chicken, one beef it literally took 30 minutes. There's no one you could talk to in regards to how long it'll be for the food so I had to wait just to get the food so I can order another Uber to go somewhere else when I get the two pastries that are four dollars apiece the ground beef one is horrible. The chicken is just basic that's there. There's no veggies there's no nothing inside these places just bread and meat very disappointed.

The location is cool being right next to Alfie's Lounge and the environment has a good vibe. But honestly the food was underwhelming for the price. The burger was just okay and there was no option to customize or add toppings which felt limiting. The fries were stale, almost like they had been refried, which was disappointing. For $16 I was expecting something a bit more elevated and it just did not deliver on that front. The service is there and the potential is there. Hopefully the food catches up because with the right improvements this could be a really solid spot.

They were outside of Alfie's on mills and the line was insane but these guys move so fast. They keep things simple by having two iPads for ordering.

It was so good I barely got any pics. Also tried the loaded tots which I personally wasn't a huge fan of the seasoning they put. If you like chopped cheese you would love these. The staff was so sweet, they gave out free waters to the guests waiting for food. I can't wait to go back and try their salmon bites !

We ordered the buffalo chicken egg rolls and the deviled eggs (with no bacon) as appetizers. For our new drinks we got margaritas, I got a regular margarita and my partner got a passion fruit margarita. For entrees, I had the famous fried chicken and my hubby had the meatloaf. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, relaxed, they keep the shades lowered during the day to reduce that sun intake and it's lovely. It feels nice and relaxed in here no matter the weather outside. Again, we enjoyed the experience but the service was fairly slow. We had to pretty much know what we wanted by the next time we saw our server or flag her down to get her attention. She was waiting about 4 tables on our area. We were party of two.dd

We seen Nikki's on a YouTube recommendation and decided to visit. We have no regrets whatsoever!!! From the start to the finish I knew we were in for a treat.

And the food, was wow!!! I've never had grits better than my own until Nikki's , my husband had bacon, home fries and grits and was very very pleased. Our waitress offer us their reputable biscuits and gravy complimentary and we definitely were grateful to take it. The biscuits were freshly made and sooooo great!!! I stopped getting pancakes while at restaurants because they were dry and just tasteless, But ....... I knew Nikki's would be different lol I got 1 pancake to go and this 1 pancake single-handed restored my love for the pancake.

It was a simple occasion, but the menu definitely left me curious. There's enough variety there that I'll need to come back and explore more.

The service was quick and friendly, and parking was easy.

Food Made With Love…read more I'm visiting from out the state and the only food I desired was southern cooking. There were a few choices on Yelp and Google but I selected P&D. The first letter of the husband an wife names. My expectations were high, and they should have been based on the reviews. This is not a standalone location as the are other businesses within the same building. You won't see P&D on the exterior signage but you will see "Soul Food Kitchen" A la carte buffet style food served. I like this so I could see what I'm ordering. Which is way I should have not purchased the Mac&cheese. Macaroni noodles and shredded cheese melted within. A serious faux pas for macaroni and cheese. I observed how many customers appeared to be regulars, and several people were ordering additional food to take home. I ordered two full meals. The main dishes are served with cornbread dressing on the savory side or rice. One suggestion for P&D would be to offer a brown gravy option alongside that is not meat-based specifically for the dressing. The highlights for me were the yams, fried fish, and pork chop and red velvet cake. Those dishes were well seasoned & well-prepared. Without being critical of the other side dishes this is what I would say: Sharing a few side dishes with your group before committing to larger portions. If you're a singleton stick to yellow rice, yams, and beans. While some food choices did not meet my palate, I can understand why this place has a loyal following. The welcoming familial atmosphere, location, and comfort food are sometimes the basics of what people need to get through the day.

For appetizers, we tried the brussel sprouts and the burrata. We all agreed that the brussel sprouts were the best we've ever had. They had a kimchi vinaigrette making them sweet, savory and salty. Each bite really hit all flavor profiles and they were also crispy. For our second appetizer, we ordered the burrata which was served with a tomato and strawberry gazpacho. It was really fresh and it was a nice pallet cleanser after the brussel sprouts. For my entree, I ordered the Alabama chicken. I was excited because my friend ordered this last time and I really liked it. I was underwhelmed this time. The chicken was a little dry and the fried Mac and cheese was really dry. For dessert, we ordered chocolate olive oil cake, which was very moist. We also ordered the hazelnut panna cotta, which was a special. It was good but compared to the cake, it wasn't very memorable. As for service, it was excellent. It's a very small dining room and you do need a reservation.
