    Honestly I never write reviews but after wasting my time and money on this place I felt like it was necessary.... Came home after a long day at work and went to grab some food just to come home and open it and finding out I was served raw chicken ..... this place needs new management

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This was my first time at a Panda Express! Shocking I know! So here goes my thoughts!…read moreThe good: this is good food for a very affordable price. My husband and I shared a big plate which is 3 entrees and 1 side. We had walnut honey shrimp, beef and broccoli and kung pao chicken. The portion was huge! More than enough for two. Overall the food had good taste. It was fresh and not too greasy. The noodles could have used a bit more seasoning but nothing a little chili paste didn't fix. We also had a chicken egg roll. It was a little greasy but had good taste and texture. So will I return for the food? Sure I think I'll give another try! Now the bad: logistically it was a mess. There is no sign to let you know where you order. The servers are filling delivery orders as they take the in store costumers, making the line long and the wait longer. As they serve your food you need to wait for some of the items that were not ready and then you loose track of your order. They don't take name so it makes it hard for them to know whose order it is. The soda machine had drinks out of order and I got some cherry coke that tasted like cough medicine. So in conclusion, if they fix the ordering issue this could be a good place to eat comforting food at an affordable price. It is less than a McDonald's meal!

Once I reach the window, I and then instructed to park for a "couple of minutes" and then loop back around through the drive-through for my order.
