Pikliz Resto is a gem in Fort Lauderdale! The place is clean and welcoming, the staff is super nice, and the food… absolutely amazing! It tastes exactly like the meals my mom and grandma used to cook back home in Haiti. Every bite brings back memories.

If you’re in the area, please do yourself a favor and visit them — nou pap regret sa, manje yo bon anpil! Authentically Haitian and full of love. I’ll definitely be back!

EBS!“

“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!“

“Food was wonderful, clearly prepared to our tasted. Even better was Sierra. Friendly, chsrming, and very watchful to make certain that we were happy at every step of the meal. New menu items were followed by the amazing Island for dessert. Not to be missed. To repeat - it was all about the caring Sierra. Noise level was the only negative.“

1- inside is clean and neat
2- employees are always on the Go and help each others
3- There a gentleman who served me “Mike” is his name. He was very gentle in everything he did. He was very curtsy towards every customer. He’s demeanor was so kind and sincere that even myself felt good. These are the type of employees that deserves to be promoted!“

“Had an amazing lunch at All Star Jerk last month 🤩. I ate their Jerk Pork, Rice & Peas, Steamed Veggies and Festival. Can’t wait to back for Round 2. The restaurant itself is very comfortable and has a lot of space to sit down and enjoy your food. I had the Passion Fruit Juices. The service was fast and efficient. It did not take long to get my food. Overall this was a great place to go for lunch and I’m very happy I was able to share a meal with my loved ones here.“

“lemme tell allyuh something...most of Trini people know the difference between dhalpuri and paratha, but new customers? Dey clueless! I seeing de lady at de counter asking people which one dey want, and half of dem looking lost, getting frustrated, and real confused. If all ya don’t start educating dem( whether is a lil sign or just a quick breakdown) how new business gonn grow?

Yuh cyah just cater to de regulars and expect fresh faces to figure it out on dey own. Help dem out“

“When visiting the area for a weekend we searched for somewhere to get doubles for breakfast. We luckily came across D Trini Spot. The food was so delicious that we came back a second time. The owner, Peats was pleasant as we all talked about Trinidad. We had doubles, Saheena, aloo pie, sada with saltfish and bake with saltfish. There’s plenty of drink options, homemade punch and ice creams as well as other Trini sweets! If we’re back in the area in the future we’ll be making it a priority to stop here again“

It was a Monday afternoon so I wasn’t expecting much When I walked In the Aruba Beach Cafe just in time for the 4pm Happy Hour and saw the Salty Pirates Duo on stage, I had to stay to check it out. The food was incredible, as was the really friendly waitress. The Salty Pirates were awesome and a lot of fun. Looking forward to returning next time I’m in the area!“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“The food is great…. We loved. Service is fantastic.“

“My family and I love trying new flavors from different places, so we decided to try this little place called: which is located on W. Commercial Blvd. and 441st Street in a large shopping plaza. The place is small, simple, but with an incredible flavor, WOW! We ordered a Brown Stew Chicken which had an incredible flavor, and you can't help but admire the prices😳 They don't even exist in a Chinese restaurant, no wonder there are lines of people buying their food at this place; that's why my husband and I have come to the conclusion: it's useless if the place has spectacular or extraordinary decor, if what will convince you is the flavor of their dishes. We will definitely return! Ahhh, not to mention that the service is very pleasant, the prices incredible, and the food sufficient and delicious. Why aren't these places as well-known? For their humble decor? Don't be fooled by the decor of the establishment or the dishes, focus on the flavor, which is what really counts.“

“Great place with wonderful authentic haitian food. Service is great, I felt very comfortable . The best server by far has to be polo ! Thank you very much for having me and my family. I ate everything as you can see in the picture. Great experience !

Parking: Great parking space.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.“

“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!“

“The soup joumou every Sunday is a must-have. There is no traditional line setup, like how we have in American style restaurants, however, the atmosphere is welcoming and urges you to communicate and be kind.

I found that by having good energy and being alert, your dining experience at this location will be satisfying.“

“Delicious food so thank you!“

“And the Blessings continue!!! 1000000000000% RECOMMEND this place. I walked in 5 mins before closing (drove in from Ocala, FL) ordered 1 double.. forgot cc in car, told them give me 10 secs...They blessed me with a FREE double!!! Thank u! ❤️🙏🏾✌🏽👊🏾🤲🏽One L❤️VE!!! 🇹🇹“

“Good spot for live music each and every Sunday 3pm-7pm“

“These guys were so awesome. Jean, chen, Lorenzo, and the other young Guy showed great customer service. I could tell the food was going to be good by how long the line was and it did not disappoint. I had the j*** chicken rice and peas with plantains. Definitely will be back for the wings!“
