    Are masks optional in the food prep area?......
    Gabriel R.

    Hit or miss chicken quality... Sometimes just right and sometimes Sahara dry!! And the lines through the drive thru...oh boy!! During these times, shouldn't the people wear masks in the food prep area?

    Wow you guys really made sure I was not getting my protein today.

    So I went to the drive through ordered a 1/4 chicken mojo pork duo. They forgot my lemonade so I had to make a u turn and get my drink. Came home opened it up to a box with only my chicken no pork these idiots in the pollo tropical on 88th have been incompetent for years filled with complaints and bad service. Y'all need to shape the F**K up in there cause management is clearly eating S**T

    This place doesn't even deserve one star. Has anyone else noticed how gross and filthy the food line is. I can't believe that the food is prepared in such dirty environment. Unacceptable. There are too many employees walking around in circles lost in space, unorganized, no coordination, bad attitude. These employees are handling food with the same gloves they are handing the garbage. Disgusting and unacceptable. After ordering the food, I couldn't eat it. Will never visit this location again. I hope an inspector walks in and sees this mess soon before somebody gets sick.

    If I could give no stars I would. This place use to be way better, no it sucks. They barely give in anything you order. The service has no hospitality. All the workers no exception are awful. I will never come again.

    Good customer service, only thing that could be improved is offering more chicken on actual tropichop I feel like they put very little and fill it up with rice and beans mainly. Prices are in the middle range. A meal would probably be $7-13 with taxes. They do offer $2 mojitos and white claw cans for I believe it was $2.75 each.

    Two fried chicken Cuban sandwiches. Not what I ordered at all (not even close)
    Gabriel Q.

    Total disappointment. Ordered Uber Eats - large tropichop for my daughter, a soup and 2-for-1 Cuban Sandwiches for me. Soup was too salty to eat. Worse, BOTH sandwiches were wrong- breaded fried chicken sandwiches instead. After a 45 minute wait for delivery, no time to go and change it out. EXTREMELY disappointed and will definitely share this experience with others. This was an opportunity for this location to do right by a customer that had been disappointed previously; definitely failed to deliver again!!! By the way, Uber Eats driver Michael did a great job in spite of the restaurant's failures. (FYI: I called to report situation: asked to speak with manager on duty. Lady who responded said "Coño" as I was put on hold, then disconnected moments later. Wow).

    looks like somebody's leftovers this is what I received disgusting

    Miami Grill has been serving Miami made-to-order fast food for over 40 years. They were practically…read moreeverywhere for years but now they have a few locations here and there. This particular location is probably the best one I've been to. They have something for everyone including burgers, sandwiches, gyros, wraps, and of course onion rings and fries. My favorites are the Grilled Chicken Pita Wrap and Gyro Wrap. They're somewhat the healthier options but of course, I cannot resist ordering some Mozzarella Sticks and Onion Rings. Both are perfectly cooked and crispy. I also tried their Philly but it was kinda too plain for me. Now they have a new $6.99 menu for budget-conscious eaters. It offers a sandwich with fries which is a great value. This place is still a staple among the fast food restaurants in Miami. What I like the most about Miami Grill is they actually prep everything fresh rather than microwave like the usual burger chains counterparts.

I've been to Miami subs many many times and I've always got a super soft bun but today it was soo fresh and just melted in your mouth. We ordered two cheese steaks subs with fries and two drinks with Miami Grill signature cups. Worth every penny. We ended up going back to order a chocolate milkshake because you can't leave Miami Grill without a chocolate milkshake! Creamy and rich! Overall, highly recommend coming here for the cheese steaks subs sub (combo order #2). The best cheese steak sub we've had in Miami! Service: 10/10 Friendly. Prompt. Lou, the customer service representative, was extremely helpful & nice!! Happily served us and was very kind!!! Made our experience way more memorable & enjoyable than expected! One employee can make the whole company better and I'd say Lou is that guy! Ambiance: 10/10 Lots of seating, good for larger parties. It's has a cool Retro Miami vibe inside & outside. Their menu is pretty diverse so lots of options for people in the party! They have two TV's that they were showing the news/games on!

    Two of the things attract me to try a new place are local neighborhood restaurants and family owned…read morebusinesses. This one checked off both of those boxes. And so I have now visited three times. Or I should say two since one was a delivery order. This is a rather long review so in case you don't wanna read the whole thing, here's the summary. This place is great. Food is great. Service is great. Restaurant is beautiful. Done. Now everybody else, please read on. I will start with the delivery order. I had a desire for falafel for lunch and found the excellent reviews of this particular restaurant and figured I would give it a try. Did the order through DoorDash and received it much quicker than expected. The falafel was exceptional. Shaped a little bit strangely because they overloaded the scooper to give you more, it was expertly seasoned, freshly made, and delicious. Definitely within my top three in Miami and being right near my home will sit at number one on my list. The fact that they were able to get the order out to DoorDash and arrive at my home still warm, gets it extra points. But the delicious flavor, crunchy on the outside soft on the inside, and even a delightful aroma was really overwhelming. Paid for six got seven! Recently paid for five elsewhere and got four. Again extra points for a wonderful portion. But then look at what is surrounding it. Excellent smoky flavored eggplant. Delicious lentils and rice. Exceptional hummus. Fresh pita. Not a fan of tabouli to begin with so I won't comment except to say it was as good as it gets. Overall, I loved everything on the plate and loved everything about it. Came here for lunch one day with my wife. She had a falafel sandwich which I didn't take note of as I should have because I was so overwhelmed by my delicious lamb Shawarma platter. Again with all the best sides and the baba ghanoush was as good as any I've ever had. But the lamb was so moist and savory and tasty. I've gotta say that their attention to flavor is evident in everything that they serve. And then my other visit. This one was breakfast. Boarded my puppy last night so that my wife and I could have a romantic evening out for her birthday and picked her up this morning and wanted to take her for breakfast. Was thrilled to see that pesto Café and Grill as outside seating. I ordered the lox omelette and a side of bacon. I had coffee and they brought her a nice bowl of water. It does not come with a bagel so there is an up charge which I found mildly annoying but I wanted to try the full experience so I ordered anyway. It also comes with hashbrowns, which I wasn't particularly interested in, but it came with the meal. They make their lox omelette with onions and capers, and I noticed some green onions as well. They also use cream cheese, which I'm not generally a fan of. Since moving to Miami, I see way too much cream cheese being used in way too many ways. What is with this Miami obsession with cream cheese? Some places even put it in my sushi. Blasphemy. Oh but that's not part of this review perfect; for this review I am going to reverse everything I isually say about cream cheese because the flavorful way that they blend this imtoy the omelette as a condiment and not something that overpowers the other flavors was spectacular. I could not enjoy it more. The bacon was a huge order and was cooked perfectly. I hate sloppy greasy bacon. It was as if they knew exactly how I would want it served. Or maybe they just have good taste and serve it like how I like it. My waitress, Kayla was exceptional as well. But the service did not end there. Multiple people from inside came out periodically to make sure that I was happy outside and had everything I needed; that my coffee was full, and my water glass was filled and my table was cleared to unused dishes. They even made sure my dog had water and kept an eye on her water bowl so that it did not get too empty. Who does this? I'll tell you, they do. Eat here I know you will get great food made from the best ingredients and cooked perfectly and served treating you like they you as a customer. Even after I paid, they continued to come outside and make sure I didn't need anything else and fill my coffee without pushing me to leave and allowing me to enjoy my wonderful breakfast. And then to relax and enjoy the beautiful day out in front of their restaurant and be pampered. I didn't just feel like they cared, I realized that they really do. I will be back. Often. I will order from DoorDash from here. Often. And I will recognizing this on social media and recommend it to everyone I know. Often. Because you do not come across a place like this very often.

Well better late than never I guess and boy where we glad we decided to to check them out. Truthfully we were watching Food Channel earlier this week and saw Guy Fieri's special on their restaurant which really peaked our interest, so first chance we had we headed on over. Upon arriving we were seated pretty quickly and after some conversations with our server, who happened to be one of the owners we made some selections and were on our way. On this occasion we opted for the Smoked Tuna Bruschetta, the Pork Belly Sandwich, the Short Rib Sandwich and the Sweet Potato Fries. I can honestly say that everything was absolutely delicious, fresh and actually made to order. What!!! That is correct all was made to order and you can taste it in every bite. Based on our experience I think I can go out on a limb here and say that I am pretty sure that everything else on the menu is probably just as delicious as well. We also tried the homemade frozen lemonade which was freshly made and tasty as well. Although we did not have any desserts, I can share that those are home made as well by the owners. Although we did not have desserts, the owner gave us a piece of their carrot walnut cake on the house, which was completely unexpected and very nice of them. Now they are located in a strip mall in West Kendall, in a very unassuming strip mall but no worries as their is plenty of parking available and a few other eateries that looked pretty interesting as well. Overall, we had a great experience and the service they provided was excellent as well. Highly recommend that you pay them a visit and check them out as I do not think you will be disappointed. If you can't make it out to them, then DoorDash or UBER Eats may be an option for you. Either way you really have try them out. We will certainly be back for more as we really had a great time and our chat with the owners made it even better. Enjoy and Bon Appétit m'es amis!

I waited another 10 minutes before heading back through the drive thru for her to tell me AGAIN that it didn't show up and I needed to figure it out through where the order was placed (which was literally the Wendy's app). I told her I could provide her with the receipt and order confirmation number which she refused. I'm 100% sure she just wanted me to cancel my order because she was short staffed.
