During this visit, I enjoyed a glass of Prosecco along with a petite bowl, which was the perfect portion if you want to dine without feeling overly full or guilty about not finishing everything. I highly recommend securing your reservation with the $25 deposit online, as they do not offer same-day reservations. The venue itself is cozy, and every time I visit, it's packed with a line of people waiting--which speaks for itself. I truly hope they continue to grow and have the opportunity to expand. Special shoutout to Cousin Nene for the exceptional customer service and hospitality!

The staff is attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell they genuinely care about the experience. What really sets this place apart is chef E.J. ; The dishes just keep coming, and every single one hits. The cornbread alone is worth the visit--hands down the best I've ever had. Sweet and savory, perfectly soft, and just melts in your mouth. It's the kind of dish you end up talking about long after you leave. I also tried one of the night specials, the jerk chicken pasta, and it was flawless. Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and packed with flavor without being overwhelming. Honestly, I have zero negative remarks. Everything--from service to food to atmosphere--was dialed in. 10/10. I'll definitely be back.

The smothered ribs are my all-time favorite they're simply amazing! This is also my go to caterer for repass dinners. They've catered several of my church events, and every experience has been exceptional. The food is consistently outstanding, the service is top notch, and they always exceed expectations. If you're looking for great food and excellent catering, I highly recommend them!

I couldn't put my fork down and ended up devouring the entire plate without even realizing it. The collard green and cabbage mix was another standout. The combination of the two greens brought out such a rich, savory flavor, and the texture was perfect--not too soft, not too tough. You could really taste the care that went into preparing them. And let's not forget the lima beans! I was pleasantly surprised by how good they were. Creamy, well-seasoned, and a great complement to the rest of the meal. Everything on my plate was made with love and soul--you can tell this place knows how to do comfort food right. I'll definitely be back for another plate (or two)!

Chef Juliette and the Lickie Stickie crew hold a very special place in my heart. The love and light…read morethat lives in Chef Juliette truly trickles down through her staff and shows up in every detail of the service. No matter when I visit, it's always a warm, hospitable experience--honestly reminiscent of The Ritz-Carlton. Surrounding businesses could learn a great deal from them. I first met Chef Juliette during a visit from DC in September 2025. My best friend introduced us, and immediately I felt the love of a mother and the passion of a seasoned chef who genuinely loves what she does. And that passion? It translates directly through the food. A few weeks ago, I was back in town visiting again, and the energy was exactly the same. We stopped by to pick up a catering order for an event, and Chef Juliette sent us off with pork chop sandwiches so big--and so good--I barely touched the catering food that day (thank goodness for to-go boxes and a freezer). I was able to bring back BBQ chicken, ribs, and the "Turn It Up Rice"--which is out of this world. Perfectly cooked rice layered with crisp vegetables, shrimp, chicken, and brisket... smoky, flavorful, and such a creative spin on fried rice. Then, the day after, Chef invited us back for a VIP experience--and when I say the love is real, y'all... it's real! She prepared a savory seafood étouffée enriched with shrimp and lobster, served over creamy polenta--an elevated take on traditional shrimp and grits. Paired with fresh-baked buttermilk biscuits, sausage from her brother in Georgia, and perfectly crispy bacon... everything was divine. The kind of meal that evokes emotion--the kind that makes you feel genuinely cared for. The restaurant itself feels cozy and welcoming--rich with history and personality. Every time I visit, I discover a new layer of her story which is told along the walls and decor. Chef Juliette is truly something special. If you're ever in the Pompano or Fort Lauderdale area, do yourself a favor and visit Lickie Stickie! And don't leave without trying the baked beans and black-eyed peas--Chef puts okra in them, and I don't want them any other way ever again. Outstanding.

Apparently, reflection of the challenging economic times we're experiencing. Very disappointed in the quantity and price of the Catfish daily special. For $15, I was shocked when I opened the very light, styrofoam takeout container and found a single, medium size filet. Really?! The portion of the sides were ample. The macaroni and cheese was cheesy delicious. The rice and peas were bland. I enjoyed the corn bread bombs. One of my dinner guests (1st timer) wasn't so sure about them. Customer service was the usual welcoming, friendly, prompt service that makes a customer feel like family. Along with complimentary samples of the daily soups and lemonade. All the tables had neatly arranged place settings with menus. The peeling floor needs repair. The verdict is also out on the drinks being served in the plastic containers. It would seem regular beverage cups are less expensive and easier to use. The soup samples were tasty and piping hot. One was supposedly seafood soup, but I only got chicken in both samples.

The service itself was fine, but I really feel like they could put more energy into customer service--especially when it comes to recommending specials. I ordered my usual 4-piece chicken with mashed potatoes, but honestly I was open to trying something different. After I had already ordered and was walking out the door, I noticed signs about Friday lunch specials, strips, wedges, things like that. If I had known about those, I definitely would've tried something else. That's where I felt the miss was. Either the girl or the guy behind the counter could've easily said, "Hey, here are today's specials," or suggested another option. I even told the girl I didn't know what to order and that I always get the 4-piece but wanted something different. She acknowledged it, but didn't really recommend anything else. Unfortunately, by the time I noticed the specials, it was too late,I had already placed my order and was on my way out.
