My delicious jerk chicken and veggies and salad!!!

Nina V.

Okay, so I need to finally review this AMAZING restaurant. THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS PLACE IS that almost everything is made in house, he uses biodegradable containers, everything is fresh, and the food is less expensive than the majority of restaurants in the area. You are missing out if you do not try food from this "Cafe". I put quotes because the owner cooks all of his food and makes salads better than 95% of the restaurants in Boca Raton. So far I have eaten the following: * Caesar salad with chicken (multiple times) - he makes the Caesar dressing, and it comes with a bunch of toppings on the side. AMAZING. Also, the chicken is the best I've ever had accompanying a salad... I'm not kidding. * Quesadilla and black beans and rice, with side of chipotle sour cream. DELICIOUS. Honestly, everything from the beans, to the rice, to the quesadilla is flawless. *Jerk Chicken with Brussels Sprouts and Jerk Chicken with zucchini - WIN!! Everything was cooked to perfection. I love my veggies and he cooks them perfectly! * Curry Chicken Wrap - my co worker ordered this and I ate half. NO WORDS. Seriously. I do not know how the owner can master SO many things, but I am proud this restaurant is in my office building. There are tables to eat at if you want to. The owner also sells protein cookies, dozens of kinds of chips, drinks, everything from different kinds of milk, to energy drinks, to teas, smoothies, HOMEMADE desserts, breakfast, etc. To the owner, I sincerely apologize for taking this long to review. You deserve this! Thank you for feeding me every week!

I declare... HIDDEN GEM. This location is kind of hard to find but it is inside of a business building in military. You should walk in and is like a cafeteria which is on the left from when you enter. Offers dine in and out of the building nice area to sit and eat. Few tables outside and inside the small cafeteria too. Now to the important part, the experience. Oh my goodness. We ordered 2 cubano sandwiches, a cortado coffee and a natural orange juice. All for 19.89.... THE PRICES ARE INCREDIBLE CHEAP, SUPER CHEAP EATS. My coffee was excellent, smooth and with that milk foam on top. The orange juice felt smooth , natural and fresh. The main dish, our Cubano sandwiches were so good I can't explain. Is one of the best sandwiches I've ever tried in my entire life for just 8 dollars (you also get a free side such as sweet plantains, salad, sweet baked potatoe and much others) all included in this 8 dollars... what a deal!. The sandwich was crunchy, soft and the cheese melted. You could feel the ham entirely working with that pork leg and mayo with mustard. This was super delicious. I would definitely come back for more. The cafeteria is small, but the service ladies are gentle and super nice. They explain you everything with a smile. Also they talk Spanish so way better. The have no sugar options and make everything how you order. Come and try, because this is super worthy. Overall, 5 stars oh yeah. Suit yourself with the photos!

I'm so happy this place opened! Their food has everyone in my office salivating. I couldn't decide what to get since everything on their menu sounded so good, so I made my own plate with the Rotisserie Chicken breast, black beans and seasoned brown rice. Simple and healthy, but there was nothing simple about the flavors.... The chicken was perfectly roasted with a crispy seasoned skin. Really flavorful and juicy, but not at all greasy. It even felt guiltless eating the skin ;). It came with a creamy salsa verde sauce that had a nice flavor and a bit of a kick. The seasoned brown rice was great. It looked like yellow rice, but it's because of the seasonings they use. Those black beans ... good beans say a lot about a Spanish restaurant, and these were out-of-this-world delicious. My coworkers were beyond happy about the black bean burger and the tacos, both which I can't wait to try. It's so refreshing to see a place like this with so many healthy AND flavorful options open in this area. What's even more exciting about the Open Kitchen Cafe is that everything is made in-house. Their proteins are farm-raised without growth hormones. Also, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions were good enough to have second lunch... but I was naughty and ate it all in one seating. Tell everyone you know to come here, you won't be left hungry!

Nearly devoured 8 oz portion of coconut oatmeal

Sam C.

I think Google maps is out to get me. I almost died turning into the Plaza with the usual "Turn left now." SCREEEECH. In the plaza, I noticed the bagel place 5 times and almost gave up on open kitchen before, at last, the sign above the walkway caught my eye. At 11 am, it's fairly quiet. Everyone was friendly and greeted me as I walked from the door down to the register. I ordered the coconut oatmeal ($3) and the chicken salad wrap($7), which comes with a pasta salad. The food was ready in less than 5 minutes. My eyes were much bigger than my stomach, I realized a bit too late. The smallest order of oatmeal is still quite large and I ended up scarfing it down and becoming full before even getting to the wrap. Get it. It is as delicious as everyone says it is. It's a bit goopier than how I usually make my own at home, but created a texture similar to rice pudding which I can never complain about. The only critique is that I wish they put the toasted coconut on top instead if mixing it in to create some kind of crunch. The few bites I had of the lunch plate were really good. The wrap has chicken, curry mayo and a ton of greens. The pasta salad was pretty dope. I would have personally added a lot more curry, but I think they were smart to play it safe with the level of spice they used. Overall, if I'm ever early for work and want a well priced, reliably delicious meal, Open Kitchen Cafe will be at the top of my list.

To-go containers even when dining in. Very disappointing.

Tara J.

Really bummed about our disappointing experience given all of the good reviews. NOTE: This is a to-go place, not a sit-down restaurant. Hubby and I stopped in for an early lunch today at 11:05am. We were the only ones in the place. We were welcomed warmly and were asked to sit anywhere. After perusing the menu we started to order, but with one hiccup and another disappointment. Hiccup -- I asked for no sausage on my breakfast burrito, and asked if I could have guacamole instead. I was told they could do that, but there would be an upcharge. Really? I don't eat pork, and rather than purchasing an item that includes pork, they wanted to charge me for guacamole instead? Since when is a dollop of guacamole more expensive than chorizo? Instead, I ordered a basic breakfast sandwich with spinach and tomato on a brioche bun. Disappointment -- When our orders arrived to our table, they arrived in to-go containers. They'd rather add more trash to our landfills and ruin our environment than wash the dishes? It was so odd since our water was in hard, plastic cups and we could see the dishwasher. It's CHEAPER to wash dishes than purchase styrofoam and plastic to-go containers. After our order was delivered, no one returned to check to see if we needed anything making me think this is really a to-go place, and not even designed for dining inside despite the booths. Even though the experience began with table service, it ended much differently with no service at all. We even paid up at the counter, not at our table, so it was all very odd. Bottom line -- We won't return based on this poor experience.

I come here for lunch 3+ days a week! I love their entree plus 2 sides option. I often order the rotisserie chicken with sweet potatoes and green beans.

First, the layout of the place was not accommodating for someone in a wheelchair. Barely enough room to get to the counter. There were no wheelchair accessible tables. My friend had to position herself at the end of the table, which basically had her blocking the pathway to the bathroom. Also, the A/C must of been broken. It was almost cooler outside. The two kids with me ordered $5 grilled cheese sandwiches which came with pasta salad. When I asked if I could swap out the pasta salad for French fries they informed me that there was a $1.50 upcharge. Pass. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana with 2 sides (fries and green beans). The fries were perfectly hot and crispy, the green beans were fresh with the right amount of garlic and oil. The eggplant parmigiana, however, left much to be desired. It was basically 5 paper thin sliced 3 inch discs of over cooked breaded eggplant with a teaspoon of bland sauce and sliced Parmesan cheese. So, not what I expected. When I asked for a glass of water I watched the girl behind the counter scoop ice from a large Igloo cooler, replace the scoop back in the cooler (she wasn't wearing gloves) and reach for a pitcher of water. I asked if the water was from the tap. She ignored me, but her coworker slyly nodded 'yes'. Pass. As I returned to our booth, my daughter tells me there are ants crawling up the wall. Not one, not two, but a trail. Aaannd, we're out! read more

Nice place, the food was very fresh. The staff was extremely friendly and the service was relatively quick. I went in with my girlfriend, we got the chicken souvlaki and chicken breast sandwich which both came with a side of pasta salad. Let me go ahead and restate how fresh everything was, but unfortunately the dishes were lacking some umph. The flavors were very subtle and the pasta salad was bland enough to leave us both thinking it was ... Missing something. Nice place, nice portion for the price, friendly staff, but it just left my flavour pallet wanting more. read more

There is a reason that there are so many five-star reviews for this unassuming, "mom & pop" bistro. The owner and proprietor is uncompromising with the food, and it's delicious! The staff is friendly if imperfect in execution, frequently addressing customers by name and remembering what they like. I suspect that most find the family-run nature of this restaurant, including the sometimes presence of their children, to be endearing, as do I. I have patronized (and observed) this place since day one, and I can assure you that if it's a quality, 'home-cooked' meal you seek, Open Kitchen Café will not disappoint... unlike the inexplicable crassness of a small minority of reviewers who would seek to penalize this place heavily over a random misstep. I mean, one actually found his Shangri-La at the mass-market sub shop next door - nice life! Lastly, I am a vegetarian, and though this Latin American bistro is not geared toward vegetarians, the owner has very thoughtfully provided many vegetarian options on the menu. They are all fabulous. read more

When I asked why it took so long the girl told me they had sent most of their employees home...... After another 20 minutes I called back and was told all deliveries had been sent out. When I asked specifically about my sandwich with my name, the guys says, "Oh! It's sitting right here". WHAT?!?!?!?!?! Then he tells me, "I don't know what to tell you..."

Swampy's 5-Tail Review is IN! (Or should we say... )…read more First things first... ever wonder why it's called Lily's Restaurant? We did too--so we asked! Turns out, the name has a heartfelt backstory as warm and welcoming as the folks who work there. It's that kind of place--where curiosity meets kindness and the food steals the show. Vic, Veronica, and your favorite foodie gator, Swampy, stopped in for a bite and waddled out full, happy, and totally impressed. The steak sandwich? Tail-flippin' phenomenal. Juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection--it's the kind of sandwich that deserves a fan club. The Cuban coffee? A tiny cup of bold, beautiful magic. Smooth, strong, and served with just the right amount of sweetness--it had Swampy buzzing with delight (and maybe salsa dancing in the parking lot). The ambiance? Relaxed, inviting, and 100% Florida-approved. Think: sunshine through the windows, friendly faces, and that laid-back vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. Whether you're a local or just passing through Port St. Lucie, do yourself a favor and stop by Lily's. Great food, even better people, and coffee that'll make you believe in love at first sip. Swampy says: 5 outta 5 gator tails. Would chomp again.

El lugar no se veía limpio por dentro, es un poco desordenado, no tiene sillas regulares para sentarse o mesas sólo tiene dos silla alta y no se veían bien. Pero la señora que trabajaba allí fue agradable con nosotros, nos dieron los dos tequeños que quedaban y el precio estaba bien. Tal vez si se organizan un poco este lugar, ponen algo de música, más luces (porque estaba oscuro) y tienen más comida que se vea, podrán atraer a más clientes. Buena suerte!

Laspada had a lit up sign in the window saying they're "open." I seem to recall Next Door Boca giving them decent reviews. I am a native of Philly, hometown of the hoagie. I thought I'd give this place a try. I ran from my car through the rain and tugged on the door....locked. The door hours say open at 11! So much for the lit "open" sign. They have outdoor metal tables and chairs under an awning. I sat at an outdoor table for ten minutes. I looked through the storefront window at a couple employees prepping and I read the wall menu. A guy unlocked the place at 11. I let a young family and several other guys go ahead of me. Guy at the slicing wheel waited on me. I ordered a small Mama Lastrada turkey & salami on wheat. There's about a half dozen employees behind the counter dealing with the assembly line of customers and sandwiches. Guy at the slicing wheel tells me one of the other guys will work on my sandwich. Okay. However, I can't move down the line because there's customers still lined up ahead of me waiting for their food. Slicing wheel guy looks up at me a minute later and asks what he can get for me. I look back at him waiting for him to recognize me from a minute ago when he already had sliced my order. No recognition! I repeated my order to him. Now he remembers me! He again refers me to one of his junior sandwich prep guys. I overheard him telling a busy junior guy, "This is just a small Mama on wheat" or something like that. Still, I can't go down the line because there's guy ahead of me had placed an order for 3 sandwiches. I swear to you that the slicing wheel guy asks me for a THIRD time for my order! By this time, I felt like I was in a Monty Python sketch. I repeated my order. Again, he refers me to a third junior associate (Manny, Moe, and Jack)? Finally, a young associate asked me for toppings. I had noticed two lettuce bins. One bin looked fine. The other looked a little brown. I decided to skip the lettuce rather than ask him to pick from the left hand bin and embarrass them. I also saw a black speck in the onion bin. It probably was nothing but I decided to skip onions just to be safe. I chose tomatoes, Swiss cheese, pickles and sweet peppers. The debit card reader asks if I want to tip. I skipped that. Price was reasonable. Hoagie was okay. The roll was soggy. Philly hoagie shops pride themselves on their rolls. I understand this is Florida, not Philly. I can appreciate this place is popular and busy. However, being asked for my order 3 times by the same experienced worker there left me feeling less than special as a customer.

I definitely prefer stopping into a place in the off hours, especially a spot that gets packed. I stopped in last weekend with my daughter as we wanted to kill some time before an appt we had. It wasn't busy at 1pm on a Saturday, but the bar seating was(which is the best spot in the restaurant). we snagged the last 2 spots at the bar. the sharply dressed bartenders(in a butcher shop clean aprons look) were quick to get our drinks and offer a menu. We have ordered some solid food and tasty apps here but this time was just for a chill beverage. I got a expresso martini which they made quickly and perfectly. she got a French 75 which they made like they made it 10 times a day(which they probably do).

That was nice. We also had a salad a wedge I must say totally disappointed lettuce with blue cheese dressing, but no crumbled blue cheese I had to ask for that after all this is a wedge salad next we had oysters and they were very small not happy about that but OK and they were just OK. We then had a rib steak which was good and halibut which was also good. I ordered a baked potato. It came out twice with brown spots inside and overcooked after the second time I said, forget about it unfortunately, this was not the way I really wanted to enjoy my meal on a Saturday night, especially an expensive meal, !!and especially it was a special occasion extremely loud restaurant very difficult to hear each other talk not sure when I'll be returning. Just an afterthought, I was in New York at Gallagher's. Everything went very smoothly. My reservation was met exactly at 7 PM as I arrived and everything came out like it was supposed to even that it was crowded. They made sure that every customer felt important. I did not feel that way in this restaurant

How it sits us at a booth directly next to the bar which had been empty since we arrived that 40 minutes earlier. Seriously? In the meantime, the bar overflowed with the usual selection of Boca, babes, and pretentious men with bad rugs. Service was good, however, and the food was definitely B or a Level,, in fact, my French Dip sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. My dining partner could barely finish their fish sandwich due to it's sheer size. It is worth mentioning that the menu definitely comes at a price point higher than most chain restaurants. If they can only provide the dining experience without all of the locals who jammed the place and carrying on conversations as loudly as they can, you really have something.

For starters I always order Jack Daniels here now they don't have Jack Daniels. OK you have a chocolate martini so they tell us we don't have chocolate martinis.

It's not only she said we don't have it that it's the way she said that she was happy to say that she was allowed to say no to a customer. Service was good. The food was good of course what you pay there it better be, ambience was nice. The manager was on top of everything. It was a busy day for that Mother's Day so I understand how everything could be a little bit different. We did ask for a couple of other drinks and they didn't have them so we just ordered some cosmopolitans and I ordered a different whiskey. We did have some deviled eggs were really good and salad, Cesar, which is excellent. I had the chicken sandwich which is famous there. It was very good after it was a little bit on the not so hot side but other than that, it was good the sides coleslaw that it brought delicious too. My wife ordered the fish sandwich and it was amazing. Also, fries are very good. The server that took care of us was very nice and pretty good when it came to following up and taking care of us she even opened the bottle of champagne that we ordered, and she was very talkative and had a good conversation. It was a tough day, but they made it! Ps The key lime pie was good. Fish crispy yumm chicken too Moms fish was delicious and grilled well done like she like s it.

I absolutely love this place. Fortunately for me it's within a mile from where I work, but they also deliver if you can't break away from the office. Their food is both delicious AND healthy. All meat is hormone-free, vegetarian fed. Tons of vegetarian options. Every single dish I've tried was amazing. It gets better - pricing is super reasonable! I could eat here every day for lunch and not feel guilty about it. The owner, Carlos, is one of the nicest people I've. He knows all of his customers personally, and I've never seen him not smiling. Everyone that works there is super friendly and accommodating. My favorite meal is the curry chicken salad wrap. Second favorite is the breakfast burrito (O.M.G.). I also tried one of their smoothies the other day... probably the best smoothie I've ever had. I could really go on and on about this place and the staff, but I'll spare you. Bottom line -- just go and see for yourself! I can guarantee you will fall in love like I did. :) read more

First of all it smells like a greasy spoon in there - they need a ventilation system. If you want to smell like a diner, this is the place to go. I was greeted by three polite ladies that were working the counter and ordered the incredible coconut oatmeal. I waited 15 minutes while the owner filled other orders and when I asked how much longer (I had to get to work) the owner SCREAMED LIKE A CRAZY PERSON at me across the restaurant that I would have to wait my turn. The place was literally empty and there were three girls standing there doing nothing. It is not like they had to make the oatmeal from scratch as it was sitting on the stove and just needed to be spooned into the container. I will not patronize any establishment where the management is a bully rude male that would not let the ladies help me out. This guy is delusional if he thinks that consumers will put up with this kind of treatment. read more

This place is the absolute worst! Their idea of hashbrowns are frozen premade McDonald looking patties. The eggs are bland and overcooked. Don't ask for cheese on your eggs because you will end up with a sweaty slice of unmelted cheese that looks like it was sitting outside all day. Their customer service is lacking. The people there are rude and entitled. For the trash food you serve you should be a little nicer. All of their reviews are fake and come from their family. Don't go here unless you want to pay for food that looks like it came out of a dumpster. read more
