The Licking Orlando

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of soul. The soulful music set the perfect tone, creating a vibe that felt both uplifting and comforting—exactly what you want from a great soul food restaurant. The service was impressively quick, and our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our visit. One thing I do wish we had known beforehand is that gratuity is automatically included, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker—just something that would be nice to mention up front. Also, you can only order a limited number of drinks at a time, which was a bit unexpected, but the staff handled everything smoothly. The restaurant is family-friendly, with a TV playing a movie that kept the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. And the food—absolutely amazing. Everyt

The took so long to make my order two dasher cancelled and left. It was literally 8 mins from my hotel. When it finally came the Mac was really good. The grilled snapper was the worst fish I ever had. It was flavorless and dried out. The greens were really good BUTTTT they had so many bones I almost choked 4 times. They need to fix that before they have a lawsuit.The best thing was the drink but not worth $9. I paid $43 for everything.

First time eating here and unfortunately the last. I’ll start by saying the food was above average. Not exceptional, but not bad. The issues began with pricing and service. Several items on our bill did not match the menu prices. For example, my wife and I ordered the “dirty mystery drink,” listed at $13 each. The server asked which liquor we preferred and offered branded options like Hennessy, but did not mention any upcharge or offer a house option. We were charged $22 per drink. Additionally, there was a $1 upcharge for mac and cheese that is not listed on the menu. The chicken wing dinner was $3 more than the menu price, and the steak Alfredo was $6 more. Including the drinks, this resulted in nearly a $28 difference from advertised pricing. When I asked about the discrepancies, the

Yesterday we had a total of 5 separate orders. 3 of us ordered yams, two of us ordered grilled chicken breast and received chicken fajita. All five had greens. I received hard chicken fajita and the other one was moist, 2 of us had tasteless yams chunks and 1 had yams that looked like mash potatoes. They were good. All of our greens were tough and had way too much salt. The menu I saw stated 16.99 with 2 sides. I paid $23.13 and I was charged for the greens. I was highly disappointed because this place came highly recommended and my taste buds were waiting for this delicious meal. 3 things on my plate and not one was good. I have been trying to call since last night and no one has picked up the phone yet.

I will first start off by saying the customer service is not best. You walk into an empty counter and you’re just standing there for a good 5-7 minutes until someone comes out to ask if you want to order something. I ordered my food and was told it would take 15 minutes and we waited for almost 30 minutes. They also add a service charge to your order. We ordered the shrimp Alfredo which only comes with 6 shrimps with the price you would think it would be a bit more. Secondly, we got the Turkey wings dinner in the lemon pepper flavor with Macaroni & cheese and the rice &peas. I also got a side of cornbread and the blueberry lemonade. The shrimp Alfredo was very delicious and well seasoned just wish it came with a bit more shrimp. The lemon pepper turkey wings dinner were really good and
