Very good and delicious. I’m Jamaican and it’s hard to find places that have good Jamaican food that’s also adventurous like they are with the pasta. Some places are just really basic. The only thing is, the pasta sauce definitely needs to be thicker so add cornstarch or something.

Customer service is horrible. Ordered food and came hours late without the main items ordered. This happens all the time. Not placing order with them again. Needs better management

Really REALLY good tasting food but the wait time needs improvement. I ordered the barbi fried chicken lunch special and jerk chicken pasta lunch special and waited about 30 minutes for it, which is unusual for a Jamaican takeout restaurant. Most times, the food is ready to go so I was expecting the same but lesson learned for next time - call in advance and give them time.

Sometimes the wait time can be a little long but they serve great Caribbean food!

Food is good but the service can be hit or miss, they have online ordering and then a time to pick up your food. Unfortunately the times never match and you can easily wait an hour. This is unacceptable but I keep going back hoping they get something as simple as customer service right.

I prefer the Lauderhill location.I really enjoy the food. They take a long time to fill orders and I think some of the counter staff could be friendlier but it hasnt been bad (enough) for me to avoid going there. I live about 25 minutes away so I just place my order (by phone or online) before leaving the house. If paying in person, use cash since there is charge for using a card.We use Pan Fridays catering for all events. The food has always been ready for pickup.

Jerk Chicken Pasta... You get a good amount for the price! Cashiers have always been nice every time I went!

Their jerk chicken pasta literally taste like a combination of milk, sugar and cayenne pepper. I’m not joking. There is no actual flavor and it’s such a hassle to get it in a timely manner. I don’t know who needs to hear this but I just have to say it! Jerk pasta does NOT need to be sweet. It doesn’t make sense.

So the food from this restaurant is amazing !! Their Rasta pasta is everything! My family and I catered a tray(ordered it ahead of time) for a Sweet Sixteen this weekend but they took forever to bring it out. To the point where I paid and waited 15 mins in the store. I ended up having to leave to pick up the birthday girl and come BACK to pick up the one tray of food and WAITED AGAIN . I hated that about this visit and hopefully itll be different when I cater again. But I Sure will be back !! Loved the food!!

The food is amazing at this place, but there is always a wait. I order my food online and they gave me a time to pick it up. I made sure to go 10 mins after that time and my food was still not ready. Do not order food if you are very hungry.

Im vegan and was super pleased when I tried both the vegan burgers (with fries) along with their vegan quesadillas, which I highly recommend whether youre vegan or not.

We ordered through UberEats. We are not from the islands but tried this food and it tastes amaziiiiiing. Just spicy enough that it does not burn your troat. We will definitely order again. Now it makes me curious and maybe I will drive there to try it. It is the Barbi Fried chicken (left side) and Jerk Chicken Pasta (right side). The servings are great size too.

Im from Broward and move to Palm Beach County. The food is most always great I generally get jerk chicken pasta Barbie Fried Chicken an additional items the one thing my kids dont get is the mac and cheese its not for us. But with all that said I take that our Drive just to get ahold of my go-to meal which is the jerk chicken pasta with Festival

The wait is horrendous. I’m watching all these people come in after me and get served. They asked me three times for my name already. I’m sure the food is cold by now. 24 mins over the time on the app

Pan Fridays quality of Caribbean is top notch and certainly deserving of a 5 star rating. The place is raving with culture. The staff is always polite. The food is great and they are not afraid of trying new things like the barbeque fried chicken which is my absolute favorite. A1.

Pan fridays.... The staff is friendly, the food is good they give a good portion size. The only negative I would say is if you are ordering online dont because it seems that is not a priority. Make sure you order atleast 30mins to a hr before. This is the 2nd time I have placed and order 30 mins before arriving and still have to wait another 30 to 45 mins for my food

I wasn’t impressed. Rice is soft (almost like an oatmeal porridge) type of soft. The side of Mac and cheese tasted burnt. The Barbi fried chicken was good.

Review №23

I wanted to like it because so many people I know love pan Fridays, but after the two plates of food I just ordered, my opinion is this restaurant is overrated and mediocre at best. Both the fried chicken and Barbq chicken were blah and the rice and peas were not ready at all. How do you mess up rice when you cook it every day? . Not impressed. Gotta do better. Jamaican restaurants as a whole have gone down In quality in the past few years, and honestly before I pay my good hard earned $25 for some whatever food, I’ll stay home n save my money n make some real Jamaican food and rice and peas that taste good. To management, get a cook who loves what they do or bring up someone from yard cause this... ain’t it

Ordered online. Food was ready within an hour. Sometimes it takes longer. I had the rasta pasta which was good. Flavorful loved the plantains in it. Wish there was more veggies but I enjoyed it. It is large and served me 2 days. Could have been hotter but it wasnt cold. My hubs had the jalapeno fried chicken with rice and peas. He totally devoured it and it was a lot of food. Normally that size food would last him 2 days but he gobbled it up so that is why I give them 5 stars. Happy hubs, happy life. The presentation was good. Food needs to be hot not warm but that is my preference. I simply reheated my food. My friend had the talapia and she said it was the first talapia she ever had that wasnt dry and it was seasoned well. I dont know what their ingredients is but their food tastes really good. I would really love to see vegan options. If you guys can, Id appreciate it. BlessIf you enjoy flavorful food, a menu that is diverse and a place that comes highly recommended with big portions, give them a chance. I highly recommend.

I ordered the Jerk Wings and the Jerk Chicken Pasta. It was as just ok to be honest. The wings were more of a BBQ than a jerk. Jerk Chicken Pasta is rich and creamy. Not a bad spot for a cheap meal.

After being in the dmv stressed out with the wait and so forth nothing was better than seeing a restaurant PAN FRIDAYS. I ordered a vegetarian quesadilla and omg this was made and crafted by jesus and the angels in heaven. The wait was over 13 mins though, as they seem to cook somethings to order. The restaurant is clean beyond measure and smelt fresh. They have FREE pineapple detox water out front all day and if you order online you can get $3OFF your first order. I was happy i went, happy i ordered, and in Arnold Schwarzenegger voice I WILL BE BACK!!!!

I ordered on the phone for pick up. I got there within 15 mins. The food was not quite ready but I only had to wait about 5 mins. We ordered jerk pork with rice and peas, fry chicken with rice and peas. Each one can share for 2 people easily. Food was awesome!!!!

I dont get this, I order jerk shrimp and received shrimp with cook sweet peppers and onions with sauce over the shrimp, I call about it and this person is telling that grill shrimp and jerk shrimp are the same thing, this is Unbelievably, I know both is done on a grill, but is the seasoning that makes the difference.

Yummy ! I think this is the lunch special. Fills me up everytime, good portions & very affordable. Definitely gotta stop by during lunch time. By the way be ready to wait Atleast 30/45 minutes. However you can call it in so you’ll be able to save a lil time instead of jus waiting outside. Also they accept many forms of payment like Apple Pay, google & any contactless cards .

The first time i went, the wait time was long. so what I did the second time around, I called and ordered, then I go pick it up. the girls at the front are very professional and I get good services all the time. it’s Jamaican food with a twist. they don’t really have the authentic Jamaican menu. like stew peas, cow foot, oxtail. Etc. a lil pricey but the food is always fresh, good and tasty.

The most annoying part of this establishment is the wait time. I’m waiting for an hour for our food and I still haven’t gotten it yet. They aren’t taking walk-ins, only pre-ordered food. They charge 3% for all non-cash payments. Better off going to a different restaurant.

Review №52

They consistently are late with orders. I’ll order food for pickup at 1:15, show up at 1:30 and still have to wait another 15 mins for the food to be ready. They’ll also frequently run out of items that are on the menu, so you have to substitute. I thought it was just PanFridays, but see the issues are the same at both locations. I’ve probably went 4 times between the two locations and there was ALWAYS at least one, but often both of these issues. My friends have had the same issues. I’d love to support the business, but it’s not worth it if I never get what I ordered.

PanFridays is one of the most exceptional places to get the best Jamaican cuisines. Their jerk chicken with jerk sauce and barbi fry chicken is amazing!!! Their chicken quesadillas, jerk pork, cheese fries, jerk chicken pasta, and their snappers are just AWESOME. Great food great service. The staff is friendly and on point. Whether dining in or taking out they are gonna make sure you have a great experience!!! I love it all!!!! And dieters dont fear here, still a great place to eat healthy!!! They have grilled wraps, salmon, vegetables and salads that are just as good and will give you the same great experience of PanFridays without increasing your waistline!!! Amen! So go and enjoy!!!

The food is good, but the wait time is terrible. I shouldnt have to wait OVER TWO HOURS for my order. Idk if ordering online is different from Uber eats or the other food delivery, but this is unacceptable. Especially if your customer is hungry and they choose your restaurant to buy and pick up from. Oh! dont tell me my food is not ready because the meat was in the freezer!!! Unacceptable excuse!!!!!!!!!Wait! NOW YOU LOST MY ORDER!!! IM NOT COMING HERE AGAIN!!! YOU CANT EVEN GIVE A DISCOUNT TO SHOW THAT YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS! OVER 2 HOURS!!! REALLY!!!!

Im very upset with the lack of customer service here on my order today. Its been almost 2 hours and I have not received my order, yet I had to call to see why the delay instead of them calling or sending a message to communicate the delay. The girl who took my call the 2nd time around was not apologetic and seemed to care less that I was waiting this long for a uber driver to pick up my order. In addition, she didnt even offer to give me an additional item in my order for the delay, she said she cant do anything for me or about the uber driver. So Im hungry and disappointed with the service and that was her response. I will take my business else where...

The first time I ordered the rice was super soft, so I thought the cook was having a bad day. Hey it happens to the best. But then I ordered today and listen, only the cinnamon and milk missing from this rice to make it rice porridge. Fried chicken was good, but I didn’t enjoy to the fullest. Do better with cooking the rice. I’m sure most people that order here has real teeth.

Macaroni taste like it came out the box with the tiny noodles and potato salad taste like its seasoned mashed potatoes. Theres no potato lumps in potato salad. Food was fresh, highly recommend you call in order or you will have to wait atleast 30-40 minutes for food.

Over the past 5 years I’ve been coming to this restaurant quantity over quality has became more and more visible. Service is great but certain dishes has lost its flavor.

Love this place! I must say this location has the best customer service out of all Jamaican restaurants in Fort Lauderdale and I’ve been to many. The food is A1... from the preparation to how beautiful it looks in your plate. The food is great... Veggie Burger is super delicious! The homemade drinks are VERY sweet so avoid those juices if you’re looking for something more refreshing.I’ve also had the wings and the flavors are perfect! I’d recommend all of the flavors.And again the customer service!! Love it ... the young lady was patient while taking my phone order and I like that it’s all young faces operating the customer service side of things!
