This eatery practically shares a parking lot with Long John Silvers on Oakland Park Boulevard just…read moreWest of I-95 and east of 441. It's easy to find and has lots of parking. The restaurant seats more than 50. It's sleek with lots of black and red (to match its name). Except for one other table, it was practically empty on a Wednesday evening. Our first waitress was friendly. She brought our beverages and took our orders. After that, we got a different young lady. She also was cordial. (But got a bit testy when I went to find her so we could pay the check and leave.) We got the smothered chicken, smothered pork, fried chicken, three beverages, and two desserts. Let's start with the desserts. The peach cobbler crust was a bit thick and the peaches tasted like they were from a can. The red velvet cake was mediocre. Definitely not specially made. Now the sides. The corn bread was perfect. The red velvet corn bread was a treat. The greens were good. The rice was soaked in gravy. The yams were way too sweet. The entrees were the standout. The chicken only comes in wings. Nevertheless, they were seasoned and fried well, had a light breading, and were meaty. The pork chops were moist and savory. The smothered dishes weren't really smothered and could have used some more gravy, which lacked onions. But that didn't stop us from thoroughly enjoying them. Dinner for 3 with 3 beverages, 3 entrees, 2 desserts, tax, and tip was about $110. We hope to return and try the catfish, the turkey, and the liver and onions. P.S. A small group came in while we were eating and one of the diners was vaping. Isn't that illegal in restaurants? I was hoping the management would stop him. But he was there for about the last 15-20 minutes of our meal and continued to vape a few feet away from us.

So I'm adding to my last review of Calypso again five stars…read more We sat at the bar JULIO is an excellent bartender and very friendly person. Love the quaint spot. It's a lot of fun just to have a nice dinner and relax. This time we had the muscles Florentine, chicken wings, and my wife had the grilled snapper. A across the board top-notch food. Once again, everything was fresh and delicious. We also got the carrot cake, which was excellent, super moist and flavorful, but we ate it too fast to take a picture

I was excited to try Calypso based on the excellent reviews but had a mixed experience. My wife and…read moreI started with the house salad with miso ginger dressing, which was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and honestly one of the highlights of the meal. For the appetizers, we ordered the mango wings, honey garlic shrimp, and for our entree split the Caribbean grilled grouper with pigeon peas and rice and sweet plantains. I appreciated the unique flavor combinations and the creativity of the menu, but overall the dishes were underwhelming and lacked the seasoning I was hoping for. Everything was cooked well, but nothing really stood out enough to make me want to order it again. The service was excellent but the atmosphere seemed to cater to an older crowd. I'm sure there's probably a dish on the menu that I would enjoy, especially given how much I liked the salad, but based on this visit, it wasn't enough to bring me back.

Don't let the double smokers under a tent in a convenience store parking lot fool you. Step on up an order some of the best BBQ I've had in a long time. To start, the meat has obviously been smoked all day but not to a point that it's dry. This man puts on his secret sauce and a little heat at the end and it only got better from there. Started out with chicken and ribs with mac & cheese along with red beans & rice and was not disappointed. The mac had the big noodles with tons of cheese and beans & rice were nice and flavorful with none of the rice dried out. The Jamaican spices are definitely what made it all happen! Very disappointed, I went to work today looking forward to having the leftovers from last night and when I opened the box I realized my wife ate all the Mac & Cheese. Cold Pork & Ribs!!! And yes, this guy knows how to fill a box.

Parking lot right out front. I ordered the chicken and ribs combo dinner with two sides. Mac and cheese and collard greens as my sides. EVERYTHING was sooo good. The greens seemed fresh, still had structure not like out of a can mush. You could see big chunks of ham in it too. Mac and cheese was normal but good. I asked for extra sauce on the ribs and chicken and they delivered! Will definitely be back!

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY FROM THIS JOINT. PERIOD. After waiting an hour for my chicken and ribs dinner…read morecombo and tracking 3 doordash delivery drivers as they arrived and departed the place empty handed, I decided to call the driver currently at Wally's to find out what was what. He said my order had been cancelled. I then called the store where a worker said they were out of meat (it was nearly 9pm, they're supposed to be open until 10)to which I replied, "why didn't anyone call me?". He just sighed into the phone so I asked to speak to a manager. I actually got Wally on the phone and he said my order had been cancelled so I asked by whom, he said he didn't know, it was just cancelled. I said "I didn't cancel it so who did?"and again he said he didn't know. I said the person I just spoke to said the store ran out of product so did you guys run out of food or did someone cancel my order? Again he said, "I don't know...." Yeah, Wally might know BBQ but apparently not much else, like food management or customer service. Where I'm from, if it looks like the restaurant is going to be short on something, they call the customer right away and ask if they would prefer a substitution or figure a way to make it right. If I was notified when the first delivery driver showed up that my meal wasn't going to be possible, at least I could have found an alternative for food, but because they waited until I called and subsequently, most other restaurants that offered delivery were closed by this time, they get a 1 star rating and this review. I will never consider eating at Wally's, ever. Probably too bad for me because it looks delicious, but I'd rather give my money to someone who actually cares. Oh yeah, collards aren't offered as a regular side on their online menu so good luck getting them through yelp if my expeience is any indication of their operational standards. Thanks for nothin' Wally.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this place absolutely deserves it. From the moment you walk in,…read morethe atmosphere is on point--welcoming, energetic, and just the right vibe to settle in and enjoy your time. The hospitality stands out immediately. 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.

I had the beef brisket with macaroni and cheese and collard greens. I also had some potato salad. EVERYTHING, I repeat EVERYTHING was so good. The collard greens had just the right amount of vinegar (I like my greens tangy) and the mac and cheese was creamy and awesome. The brisket had the right amount of fat and lean and was so very tasty. Hubby got the two meat combo plate with St. Louis ribs and chicken, mac and cheese, cole slaw. I got the St. Louis ribs, mac and cheese, and collard greens for my mom. We also got a large potato salad and large collard greens to share. The food portion sizes were great. The taste was great. I highly recommend this place if you want awesome BBQ.

The pulled pork sandwich was, without a doubt, the worst I've ever had. It lacked flavor, the texture was off, and I couldn't even finish it.

I hope the owners take the feedback seriously and work on improving the quality and consistency of the food.

One of the places I wanted to try because of the big crowds I always see when I drove by. The restaurant was a takeout or self-service type of restaurant. The service was good.You place the order, pay, and wait for it. They had a seating area in front with tables you could use. They had another seating area. The VIP area lol under the mango tree. I saw most people do takeout. It looked like a spot for locals. I tried the smoked ribs,chicken, bake beans toast, the mac and cheese. My favorite thing was the beans. They melted in your mouth. The flavors were on point. Between the ribs and chicken. I liked the chicken only because it was very tender. The other items tasted good. But those were my favorite things and sauce.
