One word... Extraordinary. Wow! So much to share and so many things that are unique to this establishment. First, the exterior is gorgeous. Beautiful almost white pea sized gravel and gorgeous plants and plantings everywhere (in&out). There's a false front (western style of the 1800's with a drugstore front on the left and a mercantile on the right, done in galvanized metal. Then you walk in and find yourself in a tremendous space offering a corridor of potted gardens leading you along to three spaces, one on the right for dining suited with picnic tables sporting tablecloths, enough seating for 85+. There's also a smoothie bar featuring blender drinks and nonalcoholic beers. At the center of this space, straight ahead is a mechanical bull upon a platform, with inflated walls and floor. There's someone to run that.There's another 2 areas to the left with several round tables for 20-40 others. Then there's the stuff for kids and more kids. Every kind of game for 2-12 yo kids, from little Jenga blocks, small & big trucks & excavators, playgrounds lg and sm, just all kinds of stuff everywhere, along with little picnic tables and small tables & chairs. Finally, at the back of the property are the animals. By the way the food is fantastic and not expensive and there's a menu for dogs too! Almost forgot, pups are welcome. Just 50' off of Krome Avenue immediately after 208th St. Check the hours first. read more

Roids was such a great place to visit South of Miami. I really didn't know what I was expecting when walking in and had such a great surprise. From the moment you walk through the threshold the staff was very very friendly and so helpful. They were very willing to explain the idea of the place. I loved that they had such a great Green Nursery vibe, they do sell the plants, delicious food for sale and they have animals to go View and hang out with in the back. I got the pleasure of having a passion fruit and mango smoothie reminded me of one I had in Thailand which is a big deal cuz I have yet to have found something similar. I got my breakfast and Cuban food craving fix taking care of there. The coffee both hot and ice were absolutely delicious and satisfying. The only thing I can say is when you drive in parking seems to be very bleak. But there's plenty of parking behind in a parking lot. Overall I would give this please a 5 out of 5 stars everything from Food Service ambiance and the plants were absolutely stunning. Next time I go visit Miami that will definitely have to be a trip on my agenda. read more

Stopped by Royd's randomly to enjoy some breakfast. The food was a typical breakfast menu, the food was good and we enjoyed everything that we ordered. The coffee was great! They also have a doggie menu, which is a super cute touch. The ambiance is great, super cute. With plants you can look at, plus purchase! You can walk to the back and they have a few farm animals and more plants. We loved spending our morning here. The staff, including the owner, was super friendly and very welcoming. I recommend this place for adults, children and dogs! Definitely check it out if you're in the area. read more

I came here for brunch with my friends and ended up having such a fun time. The service was amazing from the moment we walked in. They shared menu favorites with us and what fruits were in season for us to know what juices and shakes to pick from. Since it was out first time we decided to try a little bit of everything. We tried their croquetas de jamon, Lario's Signature Appetizer which brought fried plantains stuffed with shrimp and beef, fried yuca, croquetas, tamal and masitas de puerco, and as our main dish we had the Sunday special which was oxtail. The food was delicious and very flavorful. Make sure to as for the spicy sauce. It has such a great kick. Now the food was great, but you know what was even better? The shakes and juices. I tried the mango smoothie and it was a beach getaway in a cup. After our walk around the farm and seeing the animals (goat, pig, calves, and horse) we ordered juices to go. I had the pineapple juice and it was so crisp and refreshing. No artificial taste or too sweet. This place is family friendly and dog friendly. They even have a small dog play area that is fenced. read more

What a wonderful discovery! It's a beautiful place, and while you eat , you're surrounded by greenery. There's a children's play area and a dog park. It's a great place for families or gatherings. We ordered one of the Saturday specials, lamb stew, and the Key West shrimp creole. Both came with 2 sides. Everything was delicious! Service was very friendly and efficient. This was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely come back! read more

Came looking for good food and pet friendly outdoor space. Loved the little 2 dog park areas in the back on an overcast day. Surrounded by beautiful plants we indulged in ginger lemonades and delicious Cuban food. Portions are generous and enough to share. Ended up taking some home for next day lunch. Macitas were even better. Service was friendly and parking is easy to find on side street. We will be back again for dinner and bull riding for sure. read more

Royd's has an unmatched atmosphere, service, and humble homestyle staples. They also have a variety of smoothies that I look forward to trying on future visits. They have a dog menu and butter up Ronan every time we go, so it's easily become one of Ronan's favorite places to be also. Oh, and the cafecito is to DIE for! read more

This is a neat spot to grab a bite to eat and a healthy refreshing drink after exploring the Monkey Jungle, Patch of Heaven, or the several other farms in the area. The eating area has picnic tables for you to sit and enjoy the music or watch others ride the bull. The wait staff is friendly and grooving to the music while working on your order. There is an area to play bags and enjoy a few drinks with friends. The food is a little pricey around $20 and drinks around $10. The nursery is off to the side if you'd like to buy a few plants! They all looked very healthy and full. Follow the path behind the eating area to visit the Horse, Cows, Goats, Pigs, and Parrots. They offer food you can purchase for $0.50 to feed them and the horse is very friendly to give gentle pets. Overall, highly recommend to visit as a local or passing through the area! read more

Driving along Krome Avenue looking for a place for lunch and just decided to stop here based on the ratings. It totally didn't disappoint. Such a cute venue. The staff was so friendly and the food amazing. We had fish dip as an appetizer. I had pork chunks that were moist and flavorful. My husband had shrimp creole. I think it had 7 shrimp and he said the tomato was very good. If you like guava there are guava shakes, guava juice and Guava shells with cream cheese for dessert. read more

Royd's is a Cuban restaurant in the heart of the Redlands. The food is usually delicious, today I ordered 3 ropa viejas with rice, black beans, sweet plantains, and conch fritters. The food was very tasty but the portion sizes were super small. In addition, the wait was very long. Thankfully, we found old friends and we spent time with them while waiting for our food. The place looks amazing and they even have a mechanical bull to ride for $8. We will be back but we will order ahead of time to avoid the long wait. read more

I ordered some chicken noodle soup on the phone at about 11:15 PM on a Sunday. When I arrived to pick it up I didn't have to wait long. The people working there were very friendly, I felt very welcomed. The inside was beautiful, it's an outdoor place with fans and a roof to keep it cool. They also had many plants around to purchase... on my visit, I'll definitely explore more! I'd like to come back another day to have a meal and try something other than the chicken noodle soup. I ate the chicken noodle soup at home and it was very delicious, my husband had a spoon of it as well and liked it. read more

This place is great for an outdoor setting. Expectations were a bit high based on some of the reviews and pictures posted. As mentioned, great outdoor setting, open space for kids and also an area for pets. Went on a Sunday to get a chance to try their oxtail. My wife and I were seated quickly by the amazing hostess, which I believe is the owner and had a waiter attend to us within 10 minutes. Food was ordered and came out relatively fast and all together. Appetizer like the fried plantains and tamal were great, nothing out of the ordinary. The homemade chili was different and had a lot of flavors, loaded with beans. The main entrees of the vaca frita and oxtail were food. However, I expected the seasoning and flavor to be more impactful, but to be honest it stated a bit bland, along with the white rice. I have to admit I've had those entrees taste better elsewhere. I was a bit disappointed. Also, lot of flies and nats as soon as the food arrived. They do provide small little fans but they don't do enough. Your eating with 1 hand while using your other hand to swing away at the flies. If you want to avoid this experience, get a sandwich. Overall great place and would come back, but has a few improvements that can help with the experience. read more

Unfortunately I can't really comment on the service because I went on a Wednesday when they happen to be short staffed and it was SLOW. Not their fault that someone called out, so I'm sure service is better on other days. Mamey Shake was sooo good! Croquettes, fried cheese, and stuffed plantain shrimp were all delicious appetizers. For my meal I had the Wednesday chicken special which was vaca pollo and it was decent. Seating is all outdoors (but covered roof) with lots of areas for kids to play and walk around. They also have bill riding, for a fee. read more

First time here. Pan con Bistec was great. Not too big, but good. Place looks like a saloon and they also have a petting zoo.

Royd's is such a gem and great place to grab food and hang out with friends/family. The service was great, the owners and staff are super friendly. I went with a friend for lunch, there weren't many options on the lunch menu for vegetarians. But I absolutely enjoyed the milkshakes and atmosphere. I would definitely go back to try some of their breakfast options. There is plenty of seating, a pretty garden area with lawn games and bull riding available. I have even seen people hosting parties at the location. read more

We riding down south on Krome Avenue, especially now that they've improved the roads. There's several farmers markets, and you pick spots to stop by and enjoy. Specially, this time of year that the weather is mild. So during one of our rides we saw this little place when you first see it it looks like a little western town and they advertise great food shakes, and activities for kids. We decided to stop bye and as you walk in, it's actually a huge open area they have seating, doggy parks, play areas for the kids, a stage, even plants for purchase. We ordered a couple of Fritas and a couple of fruit shakes. Everything was delicious. It was kind of empty, except for what appeared to be a few groups celebrating their Christmas luncheon's here. However, I'm sure that on the weekends it's hopping. read more

Royd’s - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

Waited over 30 minutes to be acknowledged. After seeing a family walk in and their orders being taken automatically, we decided to walk out. The service has declined and sequence of customer arrival is not prioritized. The prices have also gone up and the portions have gone down. It's such a shame since we have enjoyed this local restaurant in the past. Will not be returning. Beware! Response to business owner: Thank you for responding but still inaccurate. We we waited for over 30 minutes to be acknowledged and have our order taken while families that came in after were serviced in the same section. That should not have happened regardless of the day. Having been a customer since Royd's opened, portions have decreased with increased prices. Please focus on customer service, staffing, pricing and humility. read more

Perfect family style hangout with spacious and open setting. Plenty of areas for large groups gatherings. This serves as a perfect place to eat and play with the kids and even pets with a pet playground, kid area and mechanical bull station. They have private events and parties reserved all the time. What's great is even if they have multiple parties happening it doesn't dustract from everyone's elese experience. The food is prepared slowly and is full of flavor and smokey spice. They have weekend specials that change periodically. Their oxtail is delicious, pork extremely tender and sides are just like your abuelas. Bring everyone with you read more

I came here with the family to check it out after some friends had gone the week before. The place itself is so unique and intriguing since it has a saloon vibe and yet is an outdoorsy court. We were there for breakfast and were one of the first ones there. The service was amazing we were actually attended by Royd's wife who was the sweetest as well as the lady that was helping to serve the plates. We ordered the Cuban breakfast and the food was good. I would say that only thing that didn't seem as fresh were the home fries, they tasted too oily. The coffee was good as well but overall the way that the place is set up and the environment was great! We also got to check out the backyard, which is their farm and mini petting zoo. I will definitely come back to check it out for lunch or dinner and would highly recommend it. read more

Great food, super friendly staff and a fun Southern Florida vibe. Oh, and a mechanical bull. The fish soup (Friday only) was thick and hearty, but not fishy. The combo appetizer plate (Lario's Signature Appetizer) gave you a combination of tastes and textures that were large enough for us two to share. Along with the Fried Cheese that was perfect, not oily or greasy, we left with a couple of to-go boxes. Make sure to try the tasty hot-sauce but be careful, it sneaks up on you. It took us about 15 mins to get there from the Miami Zoo and about 40 minutes to get back to the Miami International Airport area. This will be a regular stop whenever we are in town and are looking forward to trying other items on the menu. read more

We were all very impressed. Stupendous service. A warm family environment among a family farm. Royd & Maribel were exceptional hosts!
