La Estancia De Luisa - (Near Palm Bay, FL)

Patrícia Hernandez Walking into Aki E felt less like walking into a restaurant and more like walking into a cousin’s house on a Sunday. The decor with the Dominican colors, drum, and hat lamps instantly made me feel at home, and the staff treated me like family from the moment I sat down – warm, patient, and genuinely friendly, not forced. I ordered a classic Dominican plate: seasoned beef sautéed with peppers and onions, white rice, stewed beans, salad, and a side of tostones with a cold drink. Everything tasted exactly like something my grandmother would serve – well-seasoned, not greasy, and full of real, homemade flavor. The beef was tender and perfectly browned, the peppers and onions still had a little bite, the rice was fluffy, and the beans were that comforting, slow-cooked kind you can tell didn’t come from a can. Even the simple salad was fresh and bright and balanced the plate. Portions were generous, prices were fair, and I never felt rushed. The whole experience – from the food to the music to how the staff checked on me – felt like sitting at the table with family, not just being another customer. If you’re craving real Dominican home cooking and a place where you’re treated like you belong, Akie in Hollywood is it. I’ll definitely be back.

Stephanie Love love love me some pizza boys! My only complaint would be that the outdoor playground needs to be replaced. My kids want to go play but its getting very wobbly and unsafe looking. We will keep coming for the delicious food and amazing service but sticking to inside till the playground is updated!

Chris Nonnemaker Great spot for lunch right on the beach. Food was decent but a bit pricey as expected at a resort. Full bar on site with several specialty cocktails. Highly recommend this place for a fun afternoon

Marie Weaver Hidden Gem BBQ Spot in Okeechobee! If you’re looking for the best BBQ in Okeechobee, look no further than Fat Johnny’s BBQ. This local, hard-to-find spot serves up amazing pulled pork sandwiches that are juicy, smoky, and full of authentic Southern flavor. The sides are just as good, with crispy seasoned fries, creamy coleslaw, and delicious baked beans that taste homemade. We had Riley as our server, and she delivered 10-star service, friendly, attentive, and made sure our drinks stayed full and our meal was perfect from start to finish. The restaurant has a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere with great food, cold drinks, and plenty of seating. The only small suggestion I’d make is maybe switching to a milder cleaning product; the Fabuloso scent was strong. The BBQ deserves to be the first thing you smell! Otherwise, this place is five stars all the way, with great food, great service, and a true local BBQ treasure in Okeechobee, Florida. We’ll definitely be back!
