   Impossible to classify the type of food served here which is a good thing. Unusual, delicious and huge portions of food, prepared and served by incredibly nice people.

   Would have been all 5’s but the fried chicken was most and flavorful but was dark, almost burnt. Will try again and ask to cook to golden.

   I’ve been to The Food Republic several times and love it every time we go. The staff is super friendly, food is delicious, chill vibe, and I love that they don’t rush you! A South Florida favorite!

   It was our first time trying The Food Republic. We really enjoyed our time there. We had a group of 6. So we sat on their new back patio. It was so lovely with string lights and music playing. It was a very inviting space. The menu offers something for everyone and there were plenty of things I would have loved to try. We ordered the empanadas for the table which were delicious. The lobster bisque was not your typical cream based soup but had actual pieces of lobster! The Cajun pasta was so flavorful. Each dish had its own unique flavor. It wasn’t like they made the same thing with a few tweaks here and there. Alonso, the owner, came out to check on us and was genuinely interested in our feedback. Mike, our waiter was knowledgeable and had great suggestions. We will definitely go back. I have to try some of the other things on the menu.

   Lovely meal, beef empanadas were the best we’ve ever eaten. Chicken and waffles was quite good, chicken was crispy and flavorful, waffles fluffy and fresh. Chicken salad croissant was also delicious. Space was quite busy and crowded but to be expected on a Friday night. Our table was right in the center of the walkway so there was a fair amount of bumping and interruptions but just a minor annoyance. Service was friendly fast and just the right amount of attentiveness. Will certainly return.

   One of our favorite places. Wanted to try their brunch menu. Absolutely delicious!!! Started with Prosecco & hubby had Sangria. I especially enjoyed the Shakshuka with crusty bread for dipping!!! He saw a new addition to the menu- La Torta-pulled pork, black beans, cheddar egg on a brioche bun. Looked mouthwatering!!! I was very impressed & booked the restaurant for my ladies group. Just so you know- you must make a reservation in advance- definitely someplace to look forward to dining at!!! Service is always gracious. Chef Nikol makes the best comfort food ever.
