Lorna's Caribbean & American Grill

The warm hospitable vibe met us at the door. My party of five was treated like celebrities from start to finish. And the food?!! OMG it was simply divine. Tender oxtails, flavorful rice and peas, crisp, sweet plantains, and steamed cabbage like granny alone can make!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Caribbean Culinary Gem! Lorna’s Caribbean Restaurant in Miami Gardens exceeded every expectation! From the first bite to the last, every dish was packed with bold island flavor and pure comfort. The catfish and grits were silky, seasoned to perfection, and had that soulful, home-cooked warmth that makes you close your eyes and savor. The coconut shrimp was golden, crisp on the outside and tender inside — with just the right touch of sweetness from that coconut crust. And the cracked conch? Absolutely divine — buttery, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Each plate tasted like it was made with love and tradition, and the portions were generous without losing that touch of finesse. The service matched the food — warm, welcoming, and full of true Miami hospitality.

The cracked conch was soft and buttery! I really enjoyed it. I would pass on the island snapper filet as I didn’t feel it was seasoned, but the Mac n cheese and rice and peas were yummy. I would come again.

I recently hosted a brunch for my coworkers at Lorna's restaurant on February 28th, and I can't say enough good things about our experience! Jamie was our server, and he truly went above and beyond. He remembered everyone's names, which made us all feel valued and appreciated. We hardly had to look for him; he was always nearby, checking in to see if we needed anything. The food was absolutely delicious, and the level of service from Jamie was phenomenal! It was clear that everyone at the restaurant works well together and supports one another, creating a welcoming atmosphere. We enjoyed the experience so much that we're already planning to return for my birthday in March. Lorna's has quickly become our go-to place, thanks to the great food and positive vibes. Everything and everyone was

Great experience, welcomed upon entry and seated promptly. Drinks came out quickly and staff was professional and friendly. Happy Hour appetizers were tasty. The dinner, Oxtails, Rice and Steamed Cabbage was very good. I believe it was $27. Portions were fair. My only issue was cornbread is only served only on weekends, as well as Collard Greens. The atmosphere was nice and the space was beautifully upgraded since my last visit. All in all it was a great dining experience.
