“Try something different for lunch today in Downtown Fort Lauderdale area, try Blue Tree Cafe Vegan Soul Food by Nika King. This little cafe serves up all the soul, as Nika’s mom, Chef Sharon cooks up all of your soul food favorites, for a very reasonable price, plus special for this month, they have a home made burger for 954 Burger Month. The Black Bean Soul Burger is made with black beans, brown rice, toasted walnuts and a variety of spices and herbs. It’s served on a vegan brioche bun smered with a chipotle compound butter and house dressing, served here with hand cut sweet potato fries. The menu also has a lot of great options too, the crab balls are my favorite! Hours are limited as they are only open Tuesday - Thursday, 11-6 and are cashless business. They are located at 612 NW 9th Ave Ste A in Ft.Lauderdale, close to downtown, but they have do have a private free parking lot. Highly suggest checking them out this week, and trying the burger before the end of the month.“

“From the moment we walked in, the experience at this restaurant was amazing. The owner, Mily, greeted us with a big smile and made us feel so welcome. She was incredibly hospitable—she even offered my mom a small taste of the legume before ordering, just to make sure she liked it. That level of care and kindness really stood out. Mily also walked us through the ordering process, explaining each dish and helping us feel comfortable with our choices.

I ordered the legume white rice sauce pwa plate and the tassot with diri jon jon, and let me tell you—it was phenomenal. The flavors were amazing , and everything was cooked to perfection. The restaurant’s playlist set the perfect mood, good music and playing at just the right volume not loud. Plus, the restaurant
was spotless—tables floors, were clean.

You can tell Mily truly cares about her customers and takes pride in every dish she serves. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was personal, and the food was absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back! If you’re in the area please come check her out!“

“I’ve been to this restaurant twice and the food is pretty great. The fried turkey (taso) dinner comes with black rice, salad, fried plantain, and salad. Parking in the plaza could be improved, but I’ve never had trouble finding a spot. I’m excited to try the rest of their menu.“

“Came to The Licking Sunrise from West Palm
for Sunday Dinner. The food was fresh. The chicken and shrimp were seasoned to perfection. The wait time wasn’t long. The manager was very friendly and polite. She made sure everyone was taken care of and that the orders were placed accordingly. I will come back to this one. Music was just a tad bit loud but eventually got turned down some.“

“We order from Fabulous at least once a week via DoorDash where I work. My favorite dish is the meatloaf with white rice, mac and cheese and yams. Always a great cooked meal. Once the meatloaf was a small portion but every other time the portions are very good. The teas fruit punch and lemonades are really good too.“

“Amazing food!!!“

“I found this place online and took my out of town family there for breakfast. They have been there over 20 years. The food was excellent for the price. The woman at counter was pleasant. It’s a little off the beaten path, but worth a try.“

“This is the worst place on the planet, where you have to beg for a glass of water and the bar attender gives you the worst attitude and refuse to give you water. A freaking water!!! She ignores everything you ask, she doesn’t even bother to look at you!!! How?? Why??? Never in my life I have experienced something like this! Please, if you are not happy working there then you need to quit!!! Management, you are loosing customers there! You guys are in customers service business!!! I will never go back there to be disrespected again!! Neither should anyone!“

“If you looking for some good home cooking soul food & Black own . Hazel's Bruch Bar is the place to be“

“This family-owned restaurant has a warm, at-home feel, especially on Sunday mornings with the Christian music playing softly in the background. The wait was a bit longer than expected, but the food was worth it — fresh and flavorful. The only downside was that our waitress was not too friendly, which took away a little from the experience. Still, the overall atmosphere and food make this a place worth visiting.”“
