This month I'm on a prowl of visiting Woman-owned businesses and of course I needed to get Lovely's! The owner is always so sweet and pleasant, whenever I've encountered her. Featured here is the Blackened Salmon sandwich and Fusion Fantasy, both so good Also, I want to state that I'm loving the recent rebranding. The new menu and and logo. I also admire the community work they are involved in, as far as, having local partnerships with the City of Miami Gardens and Miami Dolphins. read more

I'd been seeing this restaurant come up on my fyp on TikTok for some time and kept putting off going as I loathe sitting in traffic. Now that school is out, I finally decided to give it a try. I stopped in on Wednesday for the Wings special. My oldest son looooooooves wings so I always try a new place with him. I called a total of 5 times to try and place an order. Each time my call went unanswered. I almost said forget it as I was literally passing my house but decided to keep heading south and see if I could place an order online. Lo and behold, I could. The Wings Wednesday special is 10 wings and fries for $12, a steal! So I placed an order for two specials (1 lemon pepper and 1 plain since they didn't have buffalo) but was annoyed because there wasn't anywhere to leave instructions on how I like my wings. I went ahead and placed the order and attempted to give them a call again to let them know how I like my wings especially the lemon pepper order. I like my wings fried extra, extra crispy and my lemon pepper wings to be dry without all that oil. So of course, there should be no surprise of my annoyance when I got my wings and they were swimming in oil, butter or whatever is used. Now I will say that they tasted amazing even after constantly dabbing each wing with a paper towel and almost fried to the level of crispiness that I like. Would I try them again, maybe. read more

This place was close to our Airbnb and also right on the way while we were exploring, so we stopped here once for a quick lunch. They serve more Caribbean-style fusion food. It was a casual spot with just a few tables for seating. We ordered: * Chicken Fusion Fried Rice * Shrimp Fusion Fried Rice * They offer both half and full portions. In my opinion, the half portion is enough for one person, while the full portion felt like too much. The food was good and definitely not your typical fried rice, which was a nice change. Overall, it was a decent quick lunch spot. Rating: 3/5. read more

Found this on tiktok because of the oysters. When I made it there they said they didnt have oysters. The menu is very limited & they did not have a restroom. The restaurant was extremely hot and the food was very unseasoned. I decided to go with the pasta and fish. The fish was soft and tasted very uncooked. I can honestly say they have good homemade drinks, but thats about it. read more

Let me give you this reveal, this food was so unseasoned and nasty. It was ridiculous. The cooking in the back came out front, smoking a cigarette, and didn't even wash her damn hands when she went back inside I ordered a half a pound of crack, Conch and chicken fried rice. It was all in one traythe worst food I ever had and they charge me $47 for one trail of food a damn shame. read more

Lovely's - Chicken Fried rice & conch - Seafood Near Me - Miami Gardens, Florida

I really like the food. I have a few favorites grilled salmon, lobster burger and fusion rice.

7 20.23 update, the conch fritters were to die for. I actually had dreams about them. I went back this evening, and they were just as good, if not better. Fried to perfection; golden brown and crispy crunch outside and soft thorough cooked but fluffy bounce inside. If you're going to rolling loud Friday, July 21st, 2023, be sure to stop by and support LOVELY'S. 7.15.23 Soft opening this week. Beautiful Miami Dolphins decor. Customer service, professional and personable. Owner, Ms. Rolanda, Impressive! Menu is pretty robust; from seafood fusions, wraps, smoothies, salads and and more. New grand opening located on 183rd Street and 18ave. I ordered the Acai Smoothie, which is refreshing, thick, and delicious, and the conch fritters. Looking forward to going back. Ms Rolanda, looking forward to seeing you and your team soon. read more

I'm sorry but I had to post a my own true un sponsored review. The people on instagram are usually paid for their reviews so I feel like we are not getting a genuine review. So I got a drink from here and pasta from this place and I'm sorry this was not a good experience at all the pasta sauce was broken. Which mean the sauce had separated, so it was very oily because it wasn't prep prepared properly the pasta was overly salty and the shrimp and the chicken taste like it was overcooked or it was probably reheated into the pasta for to long so I'm sorry but my theory was true Instagram food reviewers really don't give you a genuine review because of the fact that they're getting paid. All in all the food was an edible and to throw it in the garbage. And I usually do a full video, but not this time read more

Where do I start? As soon as I entered, I was greeted with a bright smile, and "Good afternoon." Now I know that sounds small and simple, but unfortunately, in today's world, even common courtesy and greetings are rare. I ordered the Conch Balls and Shrimp Fusion Rice for lunch. Despite me being about 15 minutes late to pick up my order, to my surprise my food was STILL hot. The rice was flavorful, with a little kick to it. The Conch Balls were PERFECTION, crispy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside. I have ZERO complaints. **BTW: They give you a lot of food, well worth the price** read more

Lovely's - Conch Balls and Shrimp Fusion Rice...Perfection. - Seafood Near Me - Miami Gardens, Florida

The person who took my order was very polite and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. I ordered the conch balls (which come with fries) and a Caesar salad topped with seafood salad. I waited exactly 36 minutes for my food. The conch balls were tender, and the conch itself was well-cooked. However, the batter could have used more seasoning to enhance the overall flavor. The Caesar salad was just okay--I was hoping the seafood salad on top would include more variety, but it was imitation crab, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a decent experience with good service, but there's definitely room for improvement with the seasoning and seafood quality. read more

Visited this place based on highly recommendation by Darius Cooks (YouTube). We ordered fried conch w/fries, chicken wings w/Lovely sauce and shrimp fried rice, fried shrimp w/shrimp fried rice. The way Darius raved about the food we thought we were going to experience some down to earth delicious soul food cooking. The best way to describe this experience without being too harsh is to say the food was mediocre at best. The conch and fries tasted pre-cooked with the conch being too salty. How do you screw up French fries? They tasted as if the fries were under a heat lamp to stay warm. The shrimp were just okay, however the shrimp fried rice was horrible. It had absolutely no flavor, the rice was hard and it had very few shrimp. The wings and the sauce were fair (2.5 out of 5). I don't know who the chef was on my visit but this establishment needs to step it up. read more

Staff was so amazing and friendly. We were coming from MIA hungry, and needed food. One of our family members has a shell fish allergy and has some dietary restrictions so we wanted to eat food that all of us could enjoy. The ladies were friendly and answered all of our questions and concerns. Made sure to cook her food separately and away from any shell fish. It's a local place and worth the short drive off I-95. It's tiny but cute and clean. Digital menu board was easy to read with some pictures and vids so you know what to expect food wise. FYI no public restroom. Recommending to all my friends and family who happen to go through Miami! read more

Every time I come here I get the Not Your Average Seafood Salad $10.95. The salad is fresh and they give you a decent amount. I also had the rainbow lemonade (large) $5 and a slice of the rainbow cake $3.50. The cake honestly taste a little spoiled and smelled funny too once I opened it. Maybe it sat out too long and needed to be refrigerated. I have had their cake before so I know it's not supposed to taste the way it did but other than that the food and drink was good. The lady at the front was really nice and the place was clean. read more

Wow wow wow. Fast, healthy and full of flavor. I found out about this place online looking for a quick bite that's as healthy as well This is my third time visiting and although I live in plantation I make the drive because it's sooooo good. Not only their ingredients are super fresh but the flavor mixed in with special sauce makes it light and savory at the same time. My favorite wrap and what I had today is the founders favorite. It's a mix of chicken salad with veggies and croutons, think about a delicious salad but on the go! To drink I recommend the iced tea with infused lemonade which is amazing. Parking is easy as it's located in a plaza, wait time was non to order and about 10 minutes to get food. You can order ahead. They offer delivery through Uber eats too. Staff is amazing and very personable. If I could give it 7 stars I would! read more

I ordered ubereats from this restaurant today and I give 2 stars. I ordered the chicken fried rice, chicken stir fry and conch fritters. The chicken fried rice was ok, it lacked flavor and very little chicken inside. I will not order again. The chicken stir fry well the vegetables inside were good, but again the chicken was flavorless. I reseasoned the stir fry and it tasted a bit better. I will reseason the rice later. The conch fritters were seasoned pretty good, but they were lacking conch inside. I'm glad I tried this restaurant, will I try it again, probably not, but the presentation was great. read more

I loved this place The food was fresh, healthy,hot and the proportions were very reasonable for the price. The prices were reasonable as well, and the smoothies were so refreshing, you just had to have one to complete your meal. When I ordered on doordash, they also were pretty good with the timing but not so much in person. I will say somethings like the fish are cooked to order so a longer wait time is required. But overall, I enjoyed each dish that I did try which was quite a few, their selection is truly amazing read more

the food was incredible! the jerk chicken pasta had the perfect amount of seasoning and spice to it. the service & ambiance could've been a bit better in my opinion but we did arrive there about an hour before closing so maybe the energy was off due to that, regardless tho great food! read more

They offer really good healthier items, nicely seasoned but without too much salt so a great choice if your watching you blood pressure like me. Owner is super nice and helpful and really about her community. It's also been remodeled so you can eat in! Overall 10 out of 10! read more

The lobster burger was def a must have. The only draw back was when I entered no one greeted me. The girl at the cashier was delightful though n even brought my food to my car. Will be back read more

I guess because of Covid, they resorted to a food truck option . but im not so sure its going to survive. They use to be a good restaurant but now.. they had me waiting for 30 min+ for some Conch Fritter Balls. 5 to be exact! Not to mention it was extremely hott outside!! im talking 100 degree weather. Not only were they unorganized becasue they keep leaving the truck to go pick up materials.. but they were asking people that ordered already if they were ordering. Smh .. they also were fufilling large orders before giving me My small Order. I hope they know they losing mad business. They could at least have a small shade or something. Everyone was outside standing in the sun and waiting in their cara for over an hour. Burning time and gas. That would be my LAST TIME. Going over there. They need a better strategy.. i had to fuss @ the lady and ask for my money back before she handed me my order. I gave it one extra star becuase the lemonade is delicious. If your going over there be prepared to waste at least an hr of your life . read more

I mistakenly turned into their parking lot at the location on 62nd street and 16th Avenue; thinking it was the corner stores parking lot. When I noticed it wasnt I proceeded to make a U-turn to leave the premises to go around to the store. But as im turning a truck pulled up some i backed up and waited to let him pass. Instead of passing, he pulled next to me, wrote his window down and started screaming. Out of curiosity I rolled my window down to see what was going on and it was the "owner" ( old black guy ) driving the Lovelyz catering food truck telling me to get the F*** off of his property. I didn't belong-there. I've proceeded to tell him that I was just turning around calm down, and he continued to be belligerent and aggressive. He got out of the truck and told me he would shoot me if I didn't leave. Pulled something out of his jacket pocket but i wasnt trying to see. Also made a police report. If you dont want people on your property that closed down years ago put up a no trespassing sign and block off the entrance to the parking lot, build a gate do something other than threaten people because that situation could have went either way especially with him exiting his vehicle approaching my vehicle aggressive as he did read more

I honestly gave this restaurant two stars but now after being attacked by the owner on MY opinion it's has been updated and dropped down to one star because that the only option I have. The owner is very unprofessional and doesn't do well with criticism. Instead of just apologizing on behalf of her business she felt the need to belittle how I felt and attack me in the process. I'm all for supporting black owned restaurant but I will NEVER return to this one. Well I decided to stop by this restaurant per my friends request. I tried calling the store to see if they took Apple Pay, when I got there the girl at the counter had such a stank face and looked as if we are bothering her. I asked her if they took Apple Pay and she immediately told me a flat out No. Comes to find out they do take Apple Pay. Now to the food, my family and I got an order of the shrimp poboy, jerk chicken pasta and the shrimp fried rice with fried tilapia. The shrimp boy had great flavors but the only down side was the lettuce you can tell it wasn't fresh. The jerk chicken was amazing just needed to have more chicken. Now the rice for the fried rice was hard and the Tilapia had ZERO flavor. read more

Everything was amazing from the sides to the entrees and the drinks. Garlic honey wings and fried rice are great.

I ordered the wing and shrimp combo on the app. It was as delicious as when I've ordered at events. It was fresh and hot. I am a huge fan of Lovely's sauces ( the sweet for wings and seafood sauce for shrimp). The sweet is great on shrimp too. I had lemonade for 1st and will order it from now on. Staff was friendly as well. Check them out. read more

Lovely's - Super healthy food choices that taste great! - Seafood Near Me - Miami Gardens, Florida

Honestly I thought they would offer more health food on their menu but unfortunately I didn't have a lot to choose from. Being a vegetarian I was limited and choose to have the green smoothie. The women that served me was very pleasant and upfront with letting me know that they really didn't have the greens to provide the smoothie but would try for me. Honestly I didn't like the taste. I think I'll most likely try to go back and retired and see if with all the right fruits to veggies it taste better. It was very bitter. I feel it's a great spin on "healthier" options on soul food but not so much a healthy food restaurant. They don't have dine-in options but I'm sure with the business growing they'll begin to offer more. read more

Food is delicious but I always get the same thing so I can not tell you how their other meals are. Every time I go I order the fried shrimp, with the fried rice, and salmon. My only complaint is that they put the sauce on top of your food (the sauce is in a small container). I do not like that because I don't know where their sauce is stores prior to being put on top of my food. read more

Really good food, amazing banana pudding but be prepared to wait an hour for your food even with the app. It's also nearly impossible to get in contact with them via phone or Instagram for catering but the food is good! read more

I've only eaten a single entree/sandwich in four visits. The extremely delicious LOBSTER BURGER! It's not really a burger, it's delicately Fried lobster meat on a hamburger bun. The sandwich includes lettuce, tomato, onion and a tangy sauce. I only live a half mile from Lovely's so I've used the LOBSTER BURGER as my default fast food for the past month. I strongly advise to call and placed your order ahead because the Lobster Burger is only prepared & cooked to order. Give yourself fifteen to twenty minutes till pick up. On occasion the credit card machine is down so you may have to pay in cash. But that Lobster Burger is so good, I'll pay in gold bullion if needed! Most strongly recommended! read more

Thank goodness for Yelp and helping me find this spot! It is a little hidden but well worth the effort to find! I had the lobster wrap and it was packed with fresh veggies and fried lobster bites. The only bummer was they forgot the "secret sauce" for the wrap and I was excited to try that. I have also had their stir fry shrimp with broccoli and it was so well seasoned it made me forget I was eating healthy! :) This place is definitely going into my rotation! read more

Great concept but lacks flavor. I had the grilled tilapia and shrimp with veggie rice. The fish seemed fresh and was not over cooked. Good size portion. The veggie rice was just brown rice with steamed veggies. It was VERY bland. I understand they are pushing healthy eating but that doesn't mean flavorless. The dish could use a healthy dose of garlic or lemon. Something to kick it up. Also a bit over priced for what it was. read more

First and foremost, they take about 20 minutes to put your order together. Also, there are no tables, as this is a takeout only establishment. So, if you are working nearby and only have an hour for lunch, call 30 minutes before you're ready to pick it up. Lastly, there are no restrooms. That being said, the shrimp and lobster wrap is amazing. Very succulent and the secret sauce puts it over the top. The banana pudding was delicious and fresh. The fat flush drink was pretty good. It is not for everyone though. They do honor the Yelp discount. So, don't forget to use it. FYI A friend of mine ordered the chicken wrap, but was not exactly impressed. She chose this because she felt "scared" of the shrimp and lobster wrap. However, another friend of mine and I had the shrimp and lobster wrap and we are still here!!! :-) I can't wait to come back!!!! read more

I've been here a few times and each time the wraps are great. Nice, quick, simple options on the healthier side that's cooked to order.

You will not find a better place for conch fritters, salads and fried shrimp or lobster bites. Everything here is awesome...not many places can say that. The health options plus the taste of the food coupled with the service grants Lovely's a 5 star rating. You will not be disappointed! read more
