Juici Patties: A Taste of Jamaica Coming to South Miami

MIAMI, FL — Exciting news for food lovers in South Miami! Juici Patties, a beloved Jamaican patty brand, is set to open its doors later this year. Franchisee Ryan Chin shared with Business Debut that the fast-casual restaurant is aiming for a December launch at 11257 SW 152 St, Miami, FL 33157. This location will be one of the southernmost Juici Patties in the U.S., bringing a slice of Jamaican culture right to the heart of the community.

What to Expect

Juici Patties is all about quick service and delicious food. The South Miami spot will feature bar-style seating, perfect for those on the go. “We want to keep things quick and efficient,” Chin explained, emphasizing the restaurant’s grab-and-go concept. This new location is strategically placed to serve nearby neighborhoods like Richmond Heights, Kendall West, and Butler Bay, making it easier for locals to enjoy their favorite patties without traveling far.

Menu and Vision

The menu at Juici Patties is centered around the iconic Jamaican patty. Diners can choose from beef, chicken, and vegetarian options, with the chance to customize their patties with cocoa bread and tasty add-ons like cheese, avocado, bacon, and egg. For those planning a gathering, combo meals and party packs will also be available, along with crunchy banana chips.

“Juici Patties is almost an institution in Jamaica,” Chin said. “For many, it’s more than just food; it’s a connection to home.” This sentiment resonates deeply within the Jamaican community, where food often serves as a bridge to cultural roots. While some locations offer hot sides, the South Miami restaurant will initially focus solely on patties, with the potential for menu expansions based on customer feedback.

Community Buzz

Even before opening, the response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive. Neighbors have been stopping by to check for updates, showcasing a strong interest in the new eatery. “I want to make sure we’re prepared to meet the demand and give people a good experience,” Chin noted. His vision extends beyond just serving food; he aims to create a welcoming space that introduces newcomers to Jamaican culture while providing a taste of home for those familiar with it.

Opening Timeline

Mark your calendars! The restaurant is targeting an opening date of February 23, pending final approvals and readiness.

Hours of Operation

Juici Patties plans to operate from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, with Sunday hours set for 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
