Hey Cuties,
The family and I have been enjoying a relaxing week of vacation in Miami Beach. Every time I come to Miami I try to eat at a new spot. Earlier this year I interviewed the Mayor of Miami Gardens and he said I had to check out Finga Licking the next time I was in town.
In July 2015 Finga Licking opened in Miami Gardens, this was the second location for the restaurant chain. This location is geared towards take-out while the original location is larger and geared towards dining in.
12490 7th Avenue, Miami Gardens, FL
Although the food is good, a lot of the popularity of Finga Licking is its famous owners. DJ. Khaled, who has topped the charts countless times and is the King of Snap Chat where he shares his Keys to Success. Fun Fact: He used to be the DJ for the Terror Squad back in the day. Remember Big Pun and Fat Joe? Poe Boy Entertainment founder Elric “E-Class” Prince. He responsible for Miami artists like Flo Rida and Rick Ross. The owner is a young lady named Tasha.
Famous owners mean famous friend stopping by all the time.
The decor was simple, yet colorful. The tables and some of the walls are wrapped in this writing. It has the establishment’s name on it and menu items. The menu is a mixture of Caribbean and soul food, and I wanted soul food.
Finga Licking Chicken Wing Dinner
I went with the Finga Licking Chicken Wing Dinner, and it came with two sides. I selected candied yams and macaroni and cheese. I shared this with LittleCuteLips and yeah, she crushed it. Next time she will get her own meal. The price point is cheap, this was $11.99.
Lemon Pepper Chicken Wing Dinner
Babe went with the Lemon Pepper Chicken Wing Dinner, with broccoli and fries for his side. The Manchild got a combination of out two meals. He had the same sides as me but with the lemon pepper wings like his Dad. $11.99
They have a “Mystery Drink” that is popular on the menu. It is a colorful combination of lemonade flavors with fresh fruit. We didn’t try it this time, but people were ordering it like crazy. Although we ordered chicken, they have shrimp, lobster, crab rice, and other items on the menu.
The food was okay, it wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but I would likely eat here again. Everyone ate their food with no hesitation and our bellies were pleased. I would go back and check out some other items on the menu.
Chat with me in the comments below or FB, IG, and Twitter.
That looks so good. Your Fat Snacks Post should not be read in the morning before you have had breakfast because my stomach is now growling like crazy. Great post.
hahahahaha, you must eat before reading for sure.
I am in love with the name of this restaurant. I would love to check it out and try the Finga Licking Chicken Wing Dinner,.
The name is perfect.
You had me at wing dinner. Why’s it always gotta be an appetizer?!
Hahahaha
What a neat place to eat. I love the tables, those are pretty cool. The food looks great too.
I love the tables as well, it gave me a great idea.
Looks like a fun place to go. I’ve never been to this place, or Miami for that matter. I’m sure my kids would love to check it out too.. your meal is making me hungry!
Oh Marysa, Miami is a must.
All the food looked delicious. I love that they have a variety of food to offer.
The menu was fascinating, it is very diverse.
You pics looked so good! I’m so hungry after looking at them!
I love when that happens Eileen.
This place is real??? OMG. I LOVE wings and I’m certain that these are FingerLickin’ good!
It sure is Shirley. lol
Yum, scrumptious, and tasty. We will def try them out. Great pics too!
Thanks, Lia.
I lol at your title not realizing this was a place. How fun and those wings sure do look amazingly delicious.
Terri, the name is hilarious. You almost have to visit.
I’ve been to Miami a million times and have never been here. I’ll have to try it the next time we’re down there. My husband loves lemon pepper wings.
xoxo,
Bianca
Bianca take hubby, earn some extra kudos.
I went to Ft. Lauderdale 2 weeks ago to visit family and my niece, who lives there, pointed out a location right down the street from my mom’s house. She hadn’t been there yet and I didn’t have time to try it out. The food looks good. I’d be interested to see how the other food is as well!
Check it out the next time you’re in town.
I’m a sucker for some good chicken wings. I’ll definitely have to check this out if I visit Miami anytime soon.
You almost can’t go wrong with wings.
Seriously! I’m thinking about moving to the states JUST so that I can eat all the delicious food! $11.99 is not too bad for a meal.
Not bad at all Marielle.
I love chicken wings. It has been a while since I have had some wings and it is probably a good thing that I am not in Miami. I would be asking my husband to take me out to dinner. )
hahahaha
You certainly can not go wrong with Soul Food Caribbean Fusion! I may have had to get back in line for the “Mystery Drink” I am a lemonade fan. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Oh you would love the mystery drink Sabrina. Everyone was drinking it.
I’m always up for some good wings and things. The name of this restaurant is perfect. LOL
The name is quite hilarious.
Seriously, looking at all your food pics has me craving fried chicken. I love fried chicken! I am such a foodie and this was perfect to satisfy my cravings especially as I am on a diet now and can’t eat any of it. 🙂
Karen, they do have some healthier options but I didn’t check them out. Do try the chicken, maybe naked though. Its a bit healthier that way.
Well if I am ever in Miami, I already know I have to go here. This is totally my kind of food. Messy and DELICIOUS. All of this made my tummy grumble.
Messy for sure Jennifer.
I have not been to Miami in a while, but my cousin frequents this place and wanted to go since seeing him post pics on IG. And now you! I have to go. everything looks good.
You need to check it out Kim.
This sounds like a yummy place to eat at! Looks like your family enjoyed their meal!
Everyone ate it all and was good and full.
I haven’t been there and looks a great place to visit and their food really looked awesome this makes me hungry so much.
My vacations are highly based on food.
The pictures you took make it look amazing! Too bad you didn’t love the food.
Thanks, Sara. I’m trying to do better with photography.
Oh Me! Oh My! I love finding a great new wing spot and it seems like Finga Licking is just that! I mean the name alone would have my attention! Add to that how juicy they look – I know if I’m ever in the area I need to make a stop there for sure!
The name gets it plenty of attention. The famous owners help as well. The place was packed so the people are loving it.
I’m now mad at myself for reading this before having breakfast lol. I love that you were honest about your experience and the food. The place looked fun and colorful.
Girl, honesty is a must.
You know I’ve never had lemon pepper wings? I like saucy wings and they always look dry to me lol
OH MY GOSH Tanay! What is life girl, lemon pepper wings are so bae. It is a dry rub, it is amazing.
Looks Delicious!!! I have learned my lesson with trying to share with either child…they will eat it up! LOL!! She looks so innocent like I only want a bite LOL!!
Girl, they absolutely will. She is a full on fat girl like her mom.
The food looks delicious I will check the restaurant when I visit in October. I’m a huge foodie and food it at the top of my list when traveling.
Tell me what you think of it.
This looks sooo good! Gonna have to check it out the next time I’m in MIA!
For sure Kasi.
Unfortunatly my whole month has been a fat snack! I’ve never tried candy yams before & since turning vegan carbs have become my vice. I saw Dj Khalid promoting this resturant before. Glad you went home full!
I love candied yams, they are one of my favorites for sure.
Ooh, those wings look so delicious. It’s on the list. Thank you for the recommendation.
You are so welcome.
I didn’t even know DJ Khaled owned a restaurant. Next time I’m in Miami I’ll have to try to seek this out and pop in!
Do try it out EG.
There are so many celebrities that are investing in restaurants! The food looks amazing, especially that mac n cheese hiding in the corner… I see it… it looks like it just might be RIGHT!
They are, which is interesting. The food industry is a really tough one.
My cousin teases me with his pics of the food from Fingalickin’. I always say the next time I am on Miami I will go.
You must Kim, you will enjoy it.
Didn’t realize Khaled had a restaurant, never heard of it. Looks good though.
Yup, I just found out this year.
Nice post. I have never heard of this place. The food looks good. I love good chicken wings! Thanks for sharing.
Ramona, you can never have enough of good chicken.
