The Licking is a go-to spot known for its perfect drinks and delicious food that is seasoned just right. It is easy to locate and features friendly staff. The food is freshly made to order, with standout dishes like the lemon pepper turkey wings, candy yams, and mac and cheese, all seasoned and tasty. While the collard greens received mixed reviews, they still add to the experience. The Snapper and Shrimp Dinners were noted to be mediocre in the past, but many customers enjoyed their meals, including chicken, steak, and shrimp ordered straight off the menu. The Mystery Drink varies in flavor; some found it less fruity than expected, but others enjoyed the waitress's choice. The atmosphere is great, making it a cool restaurant in the heart of the city, though the chilly environment led some diners to eat in their cars. Overall, this black-owned restaurant is recommended for anyone looking for a delicious meal and has two parking lots available for convenience.
