    Fried Jumbo Shrimp(6)  w/2 sides
    Tiara B.

    The fact that you can get food this good for prices this low is mind blowing, $6 platters. While waiting for my food, I've seen so many people with children rotating in and out of this location, I respect that Lavish 215 is serving the community and feeding families daily. The inside is tight and the wait is typical for soul food that's mostly made to order, but I don't mind. I'm already planning to return and bring more support to this location. I love it here.

    My girlfriend was telling me about this restaurant but I told her " I'm not going to any restaurant before they open to stand in line" we kept talking and she kept driving ... to the restaurant. The restaurant opens at 12pm , we got in line at 11:55am, it was about 10 people in front of us . I was irritated but as a passenger what was I going to do. The line moved fairly quickly. When it was our turn to order that's when I saw the soul food platters were only $6. Whatttttttt . I order fried fish, greens and yams, a slice of strawberry cake and the tropical lemonade, EVERYTHING was fanfreakingtastic.

    Came across this place recently. Great experience so far I have only been about 2-3 times. Most recently I grabbed 15 platters to feed the homeless. This place is great with their $5 platters every day. Can't beat that, you'd spend more buying the food cooking and cleaning the dishes. This place you can feed the whole family. The chicken wing platter was great. Fried perfectly seasoned to perfection. I could have sworn it was my grandmother back there cooking,The wings remind me of hers.

    This place was advertised as the $5 Platters serving dishes like Fried Fish & Chicken, Salmon, Shrimp with two sides. I called before to see what time they open I travel over 60 mins from New Jorsey after watching a review of JL Juniper on YouTube. Upon arrival I found that the long line which was outside the door was at least an 45 to 1 hour wait just to order. After waiting an hour I finally made it inside this place has to wait another 39 mins just to order. After ordering they tell you to wait outside they will call your name. 1 hour and 15 mins later I got my order. Once I got back to Jorsey and open my platter I found that the 5 chicken wings which JL Jupiter boasted about, it turned out to only be 3 wings and the sides where okay an good but after all that waiting it was not worth the time and travel. The Staff were not wearing masks but requirers all customers to wear masks. OMG

    I found this place from one of my foodie friend who has been raving about this place. It is true the platters are 5 dollars! I order the chicken wing platter with Mac the yams and the fried fish platter with macs and green. The fish was fried well I think the batter was a bit too thick, mac and cheese was cooked well, greens could have used some turkey juice or some more seasoning it was okay at most. I would go with the chicken platter, granted I was kinda confused single wing dings vs actually chicken wings that is on their IG! The wings were great, yams on point and Mac was well. I would also advise to try to hit up their special I came in for the Smokey turkey platter and it was Sold out, so people are more on the look out for the special than anything. I would come back to get a chicken platter and probably try a different platter as well.

    Terrible customer service that's all I have to say the only reason they continue to get business is because of the cheap platters

The meat in the tacos was so dry that it was hard to chew and swallow. Some of the pieces were cooked to a crisp. No amount of salsa could make them better. I'm sorry I didn't take photos of the tacos, but trust me me I get no pleasure from leaving a bad review for this place; I am not lying or exaggerating. I thought they were going to be one of our local gems. I choked down a half a taco, gave the rest to my husband and he couldn't eat them either. The churros actually had raw batter in the middle and the outside was rubbery and hard at the same time. You could barely bite through it. I'm a cook and I know that that is about keeping the oil at an even temperature to get the inside done and not overcook the outside. Someone in the kitchen did not know what they were doing. The thing is, I have had their food before and it was pretty good. I don't know if there is a new chef or what happened, but I can't trust them after this experience.

Good: old fashioned, tri-mix of guac (liked the truffle one), steak tacos. Not so good:coco tartare app, I thought most of the other tacos were tried were very okay for the price and would not recommend (shrimp, pastor (one of my least favorite versions of pastor), one with habaenro (not spicy at all). Would have enjoyed some actual spicy salsa to go with it. Overall, I sadly can't really recommend it.

They have a great Taco Tuesday deal with $1 tacos, offering carnitas and chicken tacos as part of the special. The carnitas tacos were seasoned perfectly -- 8/10. The only thing that would elevate them even more would be adding pico. The chicken tacos were a 4/10 unfortunately. They lacked flavor and tasted like plain boiled chicken placed on a tortilla, which was disappointing. We also ordered the Tres Salsa and chips. Out of the three salsas, the green and red were the standouts and packed the most flavor. For drinks, we ordered margaritas on the rocks ($5, plus $2 additional for flavor). I tried mango and passion fruit -- the mango tasted more like orange juice, while the passion fruit maintained its flavor much better. If you're looking for a family-friendly indoor/outdoor spot, this is a great option. I noticed a good mix of couples and singles, which made for a nice atmosphere. Bar seating is limited at night, and outdoor seating closes around 7:00 PM. Overall, for Taco Tuesday, I'd give it a 7/10 -- great atmosphere and deals, but food consistency could use some work.

Only thing --no disrespect but the young lady at the counter when I was there with purple hair --not who you want as your "front facing " person the minute you are greeted . Nice enough , just not what you'd call a "people person" Your front of the house should be the type who greet your guests heartily when they walk through the door and are not obvious introverts who are great diligent workers --but do best back of house where their other skills are valued d enhanced .thst is not the job for her , lol. Also one suggestion: if folks spend a certain amount --maybe over $20 , with the exception of guacamole due to food cost , I would not nickel and dime them over the small sides like a little more pico --food cost on those is low and you're tripping over the proverbial dollar --to pick up a nickel --providing small portions of those items --doesn't really affect your bottom line --and really keeps people coming back . Prices are good otherwise. Good value . If you want to cut back somewhere ,the amount of ground beef on the nachos could be cut in less than half and still be plenty and that will actually cut your food cost by a small fortune

    It's fine. Ingredients aren't the best quality. Need more burrito options. Good if you're starving…read moreand want something pretty quick.
