Groovy’s Pizza & Bar

Food took a long time and my chicken skewers were dry and my rice burnt not cool. Waitress didn’t offer anything other than… It’s gonna be a while to get something different :-(

This place is a 3.5 out of 5. Honestly when we first got there I wanted to leave… their menu is a little sparse. I was pleasantly surprised though. Their pizza was actually really good, we had the margherita pizza with prosciutto. The chicken tenders we ordered were freshly breaded and fried and their fries were thick and good. The chicken wings I didn’t try but were had by someone in our group and they were not impressed. Steak was enjoyed by our group and it was good. The mahi was ok.
The service was good at first but then waned, I think they’re understaffed. They did have hookah and big fish bowl drinks, which I think is cool. Overall not bad.

Such great pizza. Like honestly wow. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Worse place for eat
No taste
Waiting for some mayo around15 min need to ask 3 times

If you know and like pizza you’ll probably agree that this isn’t too tasty. Don’t fall for fake posts or clueless ratings. Not sure where to look on Lincoln for pizza but keep walking.

Ok, where do I begin? We chose to have dinner & hookah at this restaurant because it was perfectly located amongst other restaurants and right by the movie theatre we were going to attend. Plus, we are hookah lovers and spotted a couple people having dinner here outside with hookahs. Now, not only did we have to wait forever for the waiter to come back to take our order after we sat down, but we had to remind him several times we asked for water, oil & vinegar, etc. It appeared as if there were only 2 waiters running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to serve a slew of people (Suggestion: Hire more wait staff). The waiter himself was very polite but clearly run down and too busy. The hostess was just standing around and could have helped out when needed. Okay, so the Mahi Mahi entrée with the salad I ordered was bland. Barely any seasoning. We had to ask for chimichurri sauce just to spice it up. In total, our bill was $ 117 (for 1 hookah, 2 glasses of wine, some bland Mahi Mahi, a bland skirt steak, and slow service). NOT worth it. The only thing we enjoyed was the hookah and outdoor seating– but overall, the experience as well as the food could have been better.

After a very hot day, we just wanted pizza, a drink, and a fan pointed at us AND we got it here. They were super nice. We ordered a large half pineapple half buffalo mozzarella pizza and it was GOOD! We also had cheesy fries and they actually used nacho cheese, almost like movie theater cheese. They were out of fish bowls, so I ordered a bucket of beers. The «bill» had $ 4.00 circled on it as the gratuity, though we would have given more, we gave him what he circled.

I came here for hookah. The hookah is decent. I would not return here. We were offered a «special» that is very obviously on the menu. The drinks were awful. I could barely finish my mojito and my friend couldn’t event drink her margarita. Stay away from mixed drinks and stick with bottled beer.
The additional star is for the great service we received.

Pizza was half raw and dough was tasteless. There was an automatic gratuity of 18% added to the ticket for table service. Would have been nice if the waiter actually checked on our table to actually earn his automatic tip. Don’t waste your time or money on this one.

Was working around the area and stopped here because it was close by and I was on foot. Had the classic burger with fries and drink for $ 10. The burger had no flavor and fries were barely cooked right. Now wonder why the place was dead, I could’ve been better of getting a Big Mac down the street.
NEVER AGAIN!

Groovy was an interesting experience. Having joined a friend of mine during an eventful excursion into Lincoln center, I was astonished by the service. The owner/​server was routinely trying to coerce my friend and I to leave in order to make way for future customers on a busy Saturday night. The treats themselves were fine but the attitude demonstrated made for an uncomfortable experience. Other than that I hope for better more accommodating service in the future!

My husband and 4 year old stopped in here for lunch, never going back… We sat down, no one else was eating inside. The bartender came over to take our order… Now I have been a server — I understand you can have a bad day, but this was unbelievable. He was mad! He seemed extremely angry we were there, we were obviously bothering him — although I’m not sure why bc no one else was there. He was rude and short, and ugh… I can’t believe this guy actually has a job anywhere, let alone in the service industry. He barely took our order, he had to be asked if we could get drinks… Never asked me or my son what he wanted…
Anyway, as I was sitting there waiting for my food I started to get grossed out. The place was really dirty, the floor looked like it was mopped with mud, I’m not kidding, a black brown film of dirt. The glass doors were covered in goo and spots, and handprints. Our table was dirty, I didn’t even go into the bathroom, I can’t imagine!
We had 2 slices of pizza and I had the burger, which I must say was pretty good, and my son liked the pizza. Still, I won’t go back, how do these places stay open? Oh, I know! I walked another few blocks and saw another Groovy’s. I stepped inside and asked a stupid question just to see the result — what a difference! They were very nice and the place looked cleaner, this one must keep the other one open…
ALSO, THEY ADD 18% THEN THEY PRINT WHAT A 10,15,& 20% TIP WOULD BE ON THE SAME CHECK! They must assume people are stupid, which pissed me off even more. Ugh!!! I was so mad! Lol

Last Saturday It was raining out and Groovys sounded like a cool place to wait the rain out at. Sat at the bar for a few beers with my gf and the bartender was so RUDE! He looked like he was annoyed that we were there. (We were the only customers) We enjoyed our beers and each other’s company and headed out. Came back about 20 minutes later so my girlfriend can use the restroom and he said we had to pay $ 3 because we are not customers in a very rude way. I mean come on dude. We were your customers 20 mins ago. Pretty ignorant if you ask me.

Nice location on lincoln road where you can enjoy the atmosphere of a nice sunny afternoon.
But that’s about it! The menus were filthy and old looking.
We ordered the lunch deals: burger with fries and soda 10 bucks. That’s a great offer. And the french fries were very tasty. But the burger was tasteless. I ordered mine medium and it was almost raw. The ketchup, even it was a standard brand, was unusual spicy.
My experience was ok there. But I don’t know if i will come here again.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. Some fat arrogant waiter with a mohawk and a mole on his cheek tried to scam me into a 20 percent tip when all he did was bring me water and a bucket of beers. I believe the receipt stated his name was Max M. I told him to change the tip to a generous 15 percent and he got angry and told me to get out of the restaurant. He even followed me outside the restaurant to continue his unwarranted behavior. Usually I don’t take the advice of lazy, rude and arrogant waiters but I believe its a good idea to take his advice and not visit this lousy establishment again.

Even though the place looks like another typical food place on Lincoln don’t be fooled. The pizza here is really good! Catch the happy hour deals for beer buckets and 2 for 1 drinks. Pepperoni pizza with mushrooms is what I recommend :)

Went here on a friday at noon. This is a súper casual pizza joint that offers imported beers and wines also. Entrée prices are in the 8 – 15 dóllar range. Hookah is also offered. The location is very nice right on lincoln road, makes for good people watching. The pizza however is nothing too special it was good but there are much better options in the area. Also i ordered a simple pizza and it took them about an hour for me to get my food. Good if you are on a budget but if you can spend a bit moré there are better options near by.

Came here on halloween night. Crazy night! I did not ordered food — just drinks
Vodka and club soda in a small solo cup was 13 $ plus tip plus tax 17 $ :0
I know miami is expensive but this is too much!
This drink doesnt even require skills …
I will not recommend this place
My three stars are for the DJ! He played very good music. He was energectic and friendly. He made it fun !!! They should have him there every night

I Stop over here because it was a great place to watch the game (world cup) they had conformable sofa and great chair outside they had big TV inside and outside so everybody was watching the game. They had a good deal 4 beers for 18 dollars.
The pizza was not that good, I think is hard to pizzeria from Miami impress a New Yorker.

I live in Miami over 15 years, Groovy’s Pizza is my favorite places on the beach, The owners are cool guys, the menu is good with a great kitchen. I love it and Groovy’s Pizza have 2 locations on Lincoln Rd.
