Conch It Up Soul Food Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
We just returned from our Carnival Horizon Caribbean cruise and wanted to eat some great tasting conch on our last night in Miami. Thank goodness we found "Conch It Up Soul Food." The owner (wish I had got her name) was so hospitable and accommodating. This was in addition to the great food we enjoyed. They make the best conch, shrimp and wings we had tasted in Miami. All the sides were fabulous from the greens, mac n cheese and rice. This was true Miami style, from all the famous people on the wall in photos to their delicious food and great hospitality. We appreciate all your hard work and look forward to visiting again on our next trip to Miami. Can't forget the great tasting desserts, butter crème cake and sweet potato pie. (Forgot to take a pic) We highly recommend you stop by. We hate the rest of our family won't be able try it since they leave on Monday and your restaurant is closed. They plan to try on their next visit as well!
TRUE MIAMI PLACE. The owner is great, great energy, spirits, and helped pick out the right food. I ordered the conch and shrimp with Mac n chz and collard greens and wings and fries. I wanted the conch fritters but she ran out of batter--which is perfectly fine cause i can't wait to go back and visit! It's definitely a take out spot but we'll worth it. Sorry i forgot to take pictures of the food, I was hungry and it looked and smelled good. 10/10-highly recommended!
I found this spot driving by with both of my managers and as a foodie always looking out for good pop ups in the city, I thought it'd be a good place to check out for lunch. MAN, am I happy we did! As a local, I really enjoyed how there was a sense of history and community right when you walked in. It wasn't filled with tourist, but instead with loyal, local customers. I also loved how the owner, Noreese, was behind the counter greeting everyone who walked in with a huge smile and making sure that each order was sent out with lots of love. The food is AMAZING.. the fish and conch weren't overcooked and the breading was light and actually stayed together. The one thing we wish they had was lemon pepper seasoning. However, this place is definitely a hidden gem worth exploring. I will definitely be coming back to this spot, and I look forward to trying all the amazing food they have!
Sweet Jesus The food was so good! The fried conch was cooked just right, not overcooked to the point where it was just dusty and not too undercooked to where it was like chewing gum. The macaroni and cheese was itis triggering and seasoned like baked macaroni and cheese should be. I definitely recommend this spot, it may be a little hard to find because it's a hole in the wall but it's deserving of the money. Check it out!
I love seafood, but conch is my favorite. I wanted some really good conch salad and someone told me about this soul food restaurant. When I say this restaurant has the VERY BEST conch salad, I really mean it. The conch salad has a Lil kick to it (kind of spicy), has a lot of conch in it with delicious seasonings and fresh onions, green peppers and tomatoes. I went back last night and early today. They have a $5 and $10 cup. They also have other food you can try like fried chicken wings, ribs, fish, chicken souse, fried conch, steak and shrimp. Their sides are fries, Mac and cheese, potato salad and salad. The owners are very pleasant and the restaurant is clean. They cook to order, so it's better to call in your order unless you like to wait while your food is being prepared. They also have delicious lemon cake which is very moist with tasty frosting. I saw red velvet cake and pie as well. p.s., the prices are extremely reasonable and they give you a good amount of food. My family and I will definitely be back soon. I will post my pics of the food and the restaurant for you to view.
This establishment offers southern style seafood at it's best. My daughter and I ordered the Shrimp, Conch, Fish w/ fries and a drink. It was a lunch special. The portion size was right on point. The food was finger licking good, seasoned to perfection. The owner was very nice and attentive. Their prices are very reasonable in comparison to portion size. I can't not stress the taste enough. It was very refreshing to have seafood seasoned the way it should be. This establishment is indeed a hidden gem. If you don't look closely, you'll definitely miss it. I will definitely be returning when I visit Miami again!! Please stop by and try for yourself!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!
Picture menu where everything looks delicious. Hard to make a decision. Home made cake & potato salad, large servings. All food cooked to order. Definitely a spot to try!!!
