Restaurants near Lynwood Shopping Center

I’ve always wanted to go to this restaurant and I see why it was crowded on a Thursday night, it’s very special.

My first time here to celébrate my 21st Birthday. The staff was helpful, welcoming, and catered to us. My waitress was incredible and made it a night to remember for sure! Will def be back soon!

When I first arrived, I was informed that I didn’t have a reservation. I opened my OpenTable app to show that I did have one, and surprisingly, the staff found my name. They then attempted to seat my friend and me at a table near the door, which was freezing both inside and outside. I requested a different table, and they found a much better spot on the other side of the restaurant. However, it was still quite cold inside. I ordered the chafran rice combo with chicken, steak, and shrimp, which came with plantains, and it was absolutely delicious. Despite the initial issues, the dish made the experience worthwhile.

A favorite local restaurant; we dine here weekly! Today my bride had one of the seasonal specials; an excellent pork loin with “yummy” accompaniments. I had a favorite: salad, soup and grilled cheese—always excellent. Service was terrific with Travis in the lead but training a great new addition at NYAJ’s—Caleb.

We have been to Charbroil before and had better experiences with our previous visits. I'm not saying that the food or service was bad. This time, they just seemed a bit more rushed. The quality of the food was not as good as our previous visits either. Several of the meat choices had more fat and grissel than I thought they should have. The grilled shrimp were good but a bit tougher than they should have been. Might have to give it a bit more time before our next visit.
