The Unemployed Chef

Tried it yesterday for the first time due to the deli down stairs of our building being closed and I am SO glad I did! the fish tacos were amazing, light in texture and big on flavor! Currently waiting for my lunch delivery from them as I am writing this review :)

I ordered lunch for the first time from this place today and was very impressed! Not only was the food hot and fresh, and delivered within 20 minutes when ordered at 12:15, but the lady on the phone noticed I have a cold and sent hot water with green tea and a note to feel better! Great first impression, I will be ordering again and I’m sure my coworkers will as well. The price was very reasonable with free delivery, and the key lime pie was fantastic too!

Been there twice for breakfast and I love it. The first time my husband and I went in, Sandy asked for my name and she’s remembered it ever since. Great breakfast options! My husband loves the breakfast sandwich on a bagel and I have tried both the scrambled eggs over corn tortillas and a veggie omelette. Fresh ingredients, good service, and great price. You can’t go wrong with this place! We can’t wait to try it for lunch sometime (their daily mom soups sound delicious!).

I really like this place–
the food is very fresh and reasonably priced for the Gables.
Sometimes they get backed up, but their soups and salads are faster.
The fish tacos were very good.
The only thing is that I find some foods to be a bit too salty– the chicken philly and regular philly cheesesteak, fries, and the soups. I like the soups, cream of root, potato, I can’t think of what else I tried, but the salt for me makes me come here once every two months instead of twice monthly.
The people who work here are so nice, though, and the ingredients are good quality, that I like to check in once in a while and keep trying new things. Next time, I’ll try the pizza.
I’m surprised that they haven’t tried to bring samples to the elementary school at pick-​up time… it’s so close… walking distance!

This place is very good! Excellent service, good food and good prices. I like the sliders and my girls like the fries. Fish tacos are very good!

I LOVE this place, its my go-​to place while I’m at work. The fish tacos are the best! Barb and Sandy are so sweet (I order so often they know me when I call) OH and the soups are always good!(Order the soups early they run out fast! its that good) The delivery guys are always fast and really nice. Really happy they opened so close to me :)

I LOVE this place. I work really close by and it isn’t rare for me (and everyone in my office) to order breakfast AND lunch daily. They’re ridiculously quick & I have yet to try something i don’t like. Also, Sandy is the sweetest! We order so often that she knows who i am the moment i say hello lol. Highly recommend them! It’s great to see new businesses doing things right.

Good locally owned café. Tasty breakfast sandwiches and mom really makes the daily soup selection. Whenever I can I make sure to stop in.

Had this place for lunch and it was surprisingly really good and really cheap! By far one of the best places I’ve had here I’m the gables and under $ 10 and free delivery! I hope this place stays around for a long time! Try their flattop chicken on ciabatta ! Sooo good!

It only took one visit here to put this on my weekly lunch rotation — it’s that good. My co-​worker had been once before without me, and when we walked in, the owner (named Sandy) immediately recognized him and his order. She asked for both of our names and said she’d remember them for next time… sure enough, upon walking in there today, she remembered. That’s pretty impressive!
I ordered the same thing both times — I got their ½ pizza and salad lunch special, with a slice of key lime pie for dessert. Their personal pizzas are 10″ so they’re fairly small, and the crust is super thin and crunchy so you’re not going to fill up on a lot of dough. So the half-​size pizza and side salad is a perfect lunch portion for me. What’s also great is that everything’s homemade, including their herb vinaigrette. That stuff is addictive. I am kind-​of weird when it comes to lettuce, but with that vinaigrette on, I’ll eat anything. As for the pizza, it’s really good. I’d even venture to say it’s better than the pizza place we had been going to before.
They definitely have other things on the menu besides pizza — my co-​worker today decided to get a burger this time (with a side of tater tots), and he loved it. Sandy and her team really know what they’re doing! Oh, and let’s not forget that key lime pie. I LOVE key lime pie, and this ranks up there as one of the best one’s I’ve had. No wonder they were sold out today by 1 pm (I got the last slice). Even for dessert, the whipped cream is homemade — no stuff out of a can here.
They’re still fairly new to the Gables (open about 5 months), and they’re a little off the beaten path (their address says they’re on Douglas Rd, but they’re really on Minorca, about ¼ block away from Douglas). There’s street parking as well as a garage available. I really hope they do well — I’m glad to have found a great new lunch spot!

Great food and the best tater-​tots in Miami!

Fresh, quickly made food. Don’t be afraid to ask Barbara or Sandy if you like your sandwiches or eggs prepped a certain way. Good variety on the menu.

Just finished my lunch and very satisfied. Could not find one thing about my order I disliked. Had a beef and vegetable soup and a flat top grilled chicken sandwich with all the fixins. The food quality has a very upscale/​homemade feel – especially in comparison to other restaurants in the area where you can get a quick bite to eat. Portion size was standard. Ingredients are **fresh**. (Extra points for that!) Lady who took my phone order was very friendly. Delivery was fast. Will definitely order again.
