Mr. Fries Man — Restaurant in Pembroke Pines

This review is worth reading! I had a wonderful evening at Mr. Fries Man in Pembroke Pines. My friend and I received a warm welcome from the owner, which was much appreciated after a long 8-hour conference.

While waiting, we discovered the inspiring story of how the founder started this business with only $650. It was the epitome of the American Dream—starting with whatever you have. As a fellow business owner, I could relate to the journey and was truly touched by Craig Batiste's ability to turn his humble beginnings in his own backyard into a successful franchise. Truly impressive!

The fries we ordered were generously piled high, easily serving four people. The Lemon, Garlic, and Crab seasoning was absolutely perfect. We even had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, who shared some valuable insights and advice regarding my own business journey. It was a memorable and heartfelt conversation.

The quality of the food was exceptional, the restroom was clean, and the owner's genuine care for his customers made a lasting impression on me. I made a promise to myself to write an honest review as soon as I got home.

If you reside in Pembroke Pines, I highly recommend supporting this local business with their amazing food, outstanding customer service, and the added bonus of receiving sage advice on running your own business. If I could, I would rate...

Not horrible but wouldn't go out of my way to come here, despite having high hopes. Dining room is run down and feels cheap and looks unkept. The booth seating felt like sitting on a rickety cardboard seesaw with how cheap and unstable it wad. Took some time to get service as the cook was also the cashier. Dining in option was still provided in cheap Styrofoam takeout and a plastic bag. Fries could have used more sauce and were a little dry. Garlic sauce was fairly decent. The fries were fine, the fried chicken was actually fairly good, but nothing to write home about overall especially if driving from Kendall. Instagram and Uber eats misrepresented this place honestly. Three sets of fries with some Chicken also essentially set me back $60+ as if it were a nicer sit down restaurant with entrees and table service when you consider the meals are priced from $12-27 depending on which protein garnished your Styrofoam plate of lightly sauced fries. And while not part of the review, a patron smelled so foul we had to take our food out and eat at the Wawa outdoor seating, which completed the mediocre experience. Big love for y'all...

Had a training at the school that is near the plaza and decided to give this restaurant a try because I seen it on Tic Tok. I was a bit excited about it but that was short lived. The place was clean but empty and had only worker but I didn't care about that. I asked the lady what was highly recommended and she told me the Buffalo chicken and ranch or the Honey Garlic steak and shrimp. I chose the steak and shrimp with a drink but was told all the flavors on the fountain machine was out of service except for sprite. The wait wasn't long for my food but it was a disaster and nasty!! The steak was well overcooked, hard, and old. I couldn't put my fork through it at all. The shrimp was even worse. The shrimp was cold, barely cooked, and have a severe fishy taste. I had two bites of my food and threw it in the trash immediately. Tic Tok definitely over-hyped this place. I'm not saying the toppings are bad but the steak and shrimp is...
