“Was craving Jerk/BBQ at night and my partner found this place on google. We ordered the Jerk Chicken. It was some of the best we had in all of Florida. It was perfectly smoked and seasoned, and the home-made spicy bbq jerk sauce was great. It was so good we went back right after finishing the chicken and got the ribs. Same as the chicken, well smoked, very tender, and perfectly seasoned. Great food, friendly owner that makes you feel welcome. My new favorite spot.“

“Excellent good… and Alan was a fantastic server!!👍🎉🍷“

“I really enjoyed their BBQ. I’ve been living in Miami since 2018 and honestly haven’t found a truly good BBQ spot until today. It reminded me of the hometown BBQ spots back in Alabama.

The greens were amazing and full of flavor, the mac & cheese was cheesy and well-seasoned, and the baked beans were the only thing I could’ve done without. But the ribs? Absolutely falling off the bone — I could barely pick one up without the meat sliding right off. The brisket was so tender you could cut it with a fork.

I’ll definitely be back. I wasn’t able to make it to one of their locations before it closed at 6, but luckily the other location stays open until 2am.“

“It was a great dining experience. It's all you can eat with a good selection of meats and seafood. Looking forward to my next visit.“

“I said i wanted BBQ- that’s what i got! everything was delicious! Fast friendly service. We will be back!“

“Best brisket ever. Staff and service was polite, helpful and fast. The place could use some window cleaning. The bbq turkey was dry and the potatoe salad was like nothing i ever tasted. I asked another customer how his chicken legs tasted, and he replied, the best in town. I love bbq and will definitely return.“

“I went there for the first time today to grab Sunday dinner after a busy weekend. I was greeted with a complimentary cup of lemonade which hit the spot and got a refill while I waited for my food. The food was fresh, large portions, ridiculously tasty and I cannot wait to return. Run dont walk to Lickie Stickie!! You will not regret it!“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great Food & Service‼️“

“I’m a life long Maiden fan From the UK. I was working near by and called in for a few drinks. Staff were fantastic. Great to see the Maiden memorabilia and talk to like minded fans. The restaurant itself could do with a lick of paint and maybe hang some of maidens guitars instead of the cheap guitars hanging up. I expected to hear some Maiden in there but unfortunately they were playing Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The presence of Heinz Tomato ketchup was a bonus!! 🤘🏼🤟🏻🤘🏼“

“Ribs are always great. Been many time always great!“

“Bursting with flavor! Hands down the best smoked bbq! A must go to while in Fort Lauderdale!“

“The food was fresh and flavorful, and the buffet was genuinely delicious with a constant turnaround of items, which kept everything hot and well-stocked. Our server and the rest of the staff were also very friendly and welcoming, which added to the initial enjoyment of the meal. That said, the experience was impacted by how aggressively plates were being cleared. I was using one plate for crab scraps and politely asked several times to keep it, but the manager insisted on removing it—ultimately doing so in a way that felt unnecessarily forceful and intimidating. I completely understand wanting to keep the table tidy, but it felt excessive. At one point, even placing a napkin down seemed to trigger someone rushing over to take it away. I appreciate attentive service, but this was a bit too much. With a little more space and patience from management, this could have been an excellent dining experience.“

“This is probably the best place that I ever had the Indo Pakistani food so much to be honest. It is a must visit place. If you wanna have a good family dinner. The owner is very much cool. I like the stuff too. The food tastes very good. One of the best places I have ever been for Desi food“

“Hands down the best collard greens I have ever had. And I’ve had a lot of collards in my day. Went there last night and planning on going back today! Mr. tree gave me a chicken wing sample and it tasted like I need more! You won’t be disappointed here. 5 stars!“

“Great BBQ place in Hollywood Florida, smoked meats are all good“

“Maddie was our server the other night and she was THE best. Extremely attentive!!! We had a lot of asks, wants, and questions and she was super patient and efficient! Next time I come in I will be specifically asking for Maddie! She made our experience the BEST!!! 1000000/10!!!!“

“Excelente sabor del brisket y muy buena atencion 100 por ciento recomendado“

“Great food and dessert 🙂 Great service and my meal was at my table in no time!!“

“Very clean when you walk in. Food was ready when I got there. The chicken at this place is amazing exploding with flavors. Will purchase again in the near future. Highly recommend this place if you are a fan of fried chicken. 100% go to new spot“

“What a gem! The food is exceptional! We had a full rib rack with side of fries (double fries yum) and collard greens (omg try them!). It’s these little places that are locally run that really have talent! I would pick this place every time! So if you’re visiting, eat here if you live here, eat here! You’re welcome ☺️ Service was excellent! Terry was fantastic! Loved this place. Atmosphere was great and omg $3 draft?! Yes please!“

“The food is excellent !!!
Been here twice and would love to come back again !
Please implement those coconuts balls you made once into dessert menu !! They were amazing ! Perfect sweetness and the texture and aftertaste were phenomenal!!“

“They have amazing bbq. Much better than any bbq chain I’ve been to. Their burnt ends and candied yams are to die for. Oh and don’t sleep on the freshly brewed sweet tea, just wish there were lemons for the tea. Everything I’ve ever had there was mouth watering. I wish there was a closer location from where I live in Stuart, but yes I travel down south for the food.“

“The ribs here are the best I’ve had since moving to Florida — and as a real foodie, I pay close attention to detail and flavor. The sauce is incredible, the baked beans have a hint of cinnamon (I think?) that adds the perfect touch, and the mac and cheese tastes like something your granny would make. Pure comfort food. Everything feels like it’s made with love. I stopped in today and Ken gave me the best customer service I’ve ever received — and that’s coming from someone who’s worked in nearly every corner of the food industry. Friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the people are just as great. I truly enjoy this place as a whole. Everything about it feels real and from the heart.“

“This place is awesome. Visiting from South Alabama and planned an impromptu reunion with friends from the past 4 decades. Spanky and Donna are wonderful people with great hospitality. The vibe is chill and the food is great. They have 7’ Diamonds - unlike any bar around here. Played in a 9-ball Chips tournament that happens every Tuesday! Good times!!“

“We stopped in on our way to the airport to go home to Iowa. The food was exceptional and the best meal we had while in Florida. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time, actually. It was our first experience with kosher food and the owner explained everything to us in detail. Highly recommend!“

“The food was very fresh and nice here. It actually tastes like true, authentic jamaican cuisine. I actually felt like I was in jamaica as well with the way how he set up the area. I will definitely be back for more food!“

“10 out of 10 recommend!Food and service are top notch.“

“Delicious steak 🥩, great service,Lovely family time.“

“Our family has been looking for a new bbq place, and we found it! Large menu, good prices, hot and fresh food. I'm allergic to pineapple, and most bbq sauce has pineapple in it. I ordered a full slab of ribs, sauce on the side. I was pleasantly surprised that even with no sauce the ribs were fall off the bone tender and delicious. We will order again and HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!“

“Those ribs and chicken was nothing but the truth!(That means good!) I’m from Miami but willing to take the drive for some tasty and seasoned to perfection BBQ. I’ll be back real soon 😊 The food was so good I forgot to take a picture but take my word it was YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!“
