Never been to the restaurant but have ordered multiple times via UberEats. I may actually visit…read moreeventually as the experience might be completely different than just ordering something delivered. But here is the thing, while I thoroughly ENJOYED the food I've received each time. They are practically always missing something on the order - like 9 out of 10 times. Yes, I am able to always get a refund through the delivery app BUT it sure gets annoying after a while. Maybe they get really busy...maybe they just don't have it together when it comes to packing to-go orders...or maybe, lol, they just don't give a crap? I don't know. I just wish they can get that aspect together since I really do enjoy the two items I always repeatedly order (Fried Goat & Goat Stew). Now that I just wrote this...I'm going to just drive over and eat there and update accordingly after.

Finally had some time to give this place a try after smelling it for so long lol. I was greeted promptly and service was great. The lady that took my order was kind and provided me with lots of helpful info since this was my first time here. I opted for the Creole Chicken Bowl, which came with a side of small pickled veggies on the side. The rice was yummy and the chicken was extremely flavorful. Not only was the meal extremely filling, it was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. I'm excited to go again and try more of their items!

This is indeed a hidden gem. I was craving seafood and came across this restaurant on Uber eats…read more There wasn't much information on Yelp about it so I decided to visit the restaurant to investigate further (because yes, food is that serious to me). It's indeed a hole in the wall. There is no seating available but when I tell you, if you're seeking haitian food to go, this is your spot. The food was superb!! Fresh, authentic, and the service was super friendly. I ordered the fried fish with black rice, plantains and a salad. It was enough to feed two (but of course, instead of sharing, I enjoyed my leftovers. It was too good to share!

Customer service is complete a*s.

My online order said a total is $69 but my CC statement was charged for $83??? When I went to ask for the difference back, the lady told me all she does is put the food in the register and that's it. Before I could ask for the owner, she kept cutting me off saying "the owner isn't here. The owner isn't here". She didn't try to call for someone for help rectify the situation or anything. She then went on to pack another order while I was standing there waiting for answers then proceeded to ignore me. Again, the food is amazing as it always is but the customer service alone will ruin this restaurant.

First time visiting for brunch and cannot wait to go back. The feta veg omelette special was…read moredelicious - the omelette loaded with veggies and feta cheese, came with a side of beans and rice, and tasty potato hash. Ask for the hot sauce, it's tasty! The meal came with either cream wheat or fruit. Tried cream wheat for the first time and it was sooo good. Warm, cozy, sweet and salty. Entrees came with a bread basket of homemade buttered bread which was delicious too. Service was excellent. Patio ambience was lovely for late morning brunch. Love that they offer breakfast all day. Only complaint is the long wait - but they offer complimentary coffee and lemonade, along with bubbles for kids to stay occupied. Parking in the area can also be hard to find on the weekends. We will definitely be back!

The first thing that made me happy was grilled goat since many of the meats are typically fried. The grilled goat was fantastic. The flavor and the sauce were so good. The rice was also pretty good. The griot was soft and seasoned well. The rice was soft and flavorful. My other favorite part of the meal with the legume. It was so good that I went back to get more a few days later! The prices are a little high and the wait can be long, which is why it's a 4 and not a 5. Overall, we really enjoyed this place and we'll be back. I highly recommend if you're looking for good Haitian on this side of town.

This was one of the worst food experiences I've ever had. The food was clearly not fresh. The beans…read moresmelled absolutely awful and had bubbles, which is a huge red flag. The meat smelled rotten, not just "off," but genuinely spoiled. I called the next day to give feedback, and instead of listening or apologizing, the woman I spoke with was extremely defensive and tried to blame me. She said the food went bad because I "took too long to pick it up." That explanation makes absolutely no sense. I was born in Haiti, I grew up around freshly cooked Caribbean food, and I have never seen properly made food spoil in an hour and a half just from sitting. To make matters worse, I ordered a pâté, and the gentleman literally microwaved it and handed it back to me. It was not fresh at all. What's really disappointing is that I used to order from here and had better experiences in the past, but clearly the quality has gone downhill. Between spoiled food, reheated items, and defensive customer service, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Food safety should never be this questionable.
