Delicious! Prior to this dining experience, I never had a Haitian iteration of jerk chicken, but really enjoyed it. The serving sizes are generous; you're likely to get multiple meals from a plate. Or perfect for eating family style. The oxtails were so meaty! Other places in town can take notes for their meat selection. Rice and peas were addicting; again, so different than the Jamaican technique I'm accustomed to. The Mac, cabbage, friend chicken... just in food heaven! Can't wait to visit again and try something new! read more

Bodeau's Caribbean Cuisine is the kind of place that feels like you just walked into somebody's kitchen and got invited to sit down. The food was absolutely amazing. Every bite had that slow cooked, seasoned to the soul kind of flavor that you can taste immediately. The environment is super homey and comfortable. Nothing flashy, just warm, welcoming, and real. The kind of spot where you relax without even realizing it. And the owner? Everything awesome. Genuine, kind, and clearly passionate about what she's serving. I asked for hot sauce and instead of handing me something bottled, she went to the back and made some from scratch in minutes. Hands down the best hot sauce I've ever had. Fresh, bold, with just the right heat that lingers without overpowering the food. This place isn't just a meal, it's an experience. I'll definitely be back. read more

I was craving Caribbean food, and this spot did not disappoint! The rice and peas had a Haitian twist my first time trying it as a Jamaican and it was delicious. My husband who's super picky had the oxtail and couldn't stop raving about it, while I enjoyed the curry goat. Both were so tender they were falling off the bone. Big thanks to the chef and our server, Kirby, for the exceptional customer service! The mac and cheese wasn't my favorite, but everything else was on point. Definitely a 10/10. This is your sign to check em out. Ps The reviews before helped me in making this decision and I'm happy I did. read more

Bodeau's Caribbean Cuisine - Restaurant - Haitian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I have never really tried 'authentic' jerk chicken before, so I searched out what places in town had some of the best. That search lead me here to Bodeau's Caribbean Cuisine. I'm so glad it did! The first that that impressed me already right away was just the friendliest and hospitable of the folks working here. They were very welcoming and helpful, and I loved it! Now, this is like walking into your grandma's kitchen. The food is cooked fresh to order and made with love. So that means you can expect to wait. But it's worth it! So just sit back, relax, and wait for that deliciousness. The food was great! And their reviews match that. I highly suggest checking them out. It was a great experience overall! read more

Bodeau's Caribbean Cuisine - 8 piece Jerk Chicken (a la carte) - Haitian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We're still very new to the Haitian diet, but are discovering more with each visit. This would be a good category for recognition. We've also learned that our friends in the know rave about the authentic flavours at Bodeau's. Thanks to their guidance, we experienced some great oxtails and jerk chicken. While I'm not a big fan of the overly spicy, their Curry Goat was really quite good. Mrs. E. it's a big fan of the Mac and cheese and we both were stunned by the amount of rice they give you. The people are so friendly, I hope we get back here, someday. The store is small and lacking any kind of decor. I suspect that very few dine in. I'm guessing there's a big carry out crowd. We're used to suite sized eateries with not much going. No points lost by us. 08/25 read more

The owner/hostess greeted us with such warmth as soon as we entered her establishment. We had questions about the different dishes on the menu, she explained and made recommendations based off our preferences. Everything was delicious. It made me feel like I was being served by a family member. Very authentic flavor . I had Haitian fried goat with Haitian rice, cabbage and plantain My brother chose jerk chicken with peas and rice. Chicken juicy and flavorful. The ambiance is pretty basic. But the service and food made up for it. read more

We ordered a medium Oxtail plate and a side of French fries. The flavor of the oxtail just melts in your mouth. The meat tears softly off the bone, effortlessly. We had two servings of the oxtail with the delicious rice and beans. The plate normally comes with plantains, but we requested to have it removed due to my allergies to bananas. Kerby politely replaced it with seasoned cabbage that paired so well with the meat and rice. The plate was shared between my girlfriend and I for a late lunch after attending a koi fish show. The French fries were amazingly delicious, they were evenly seasoned and fried to a crisp. It's hard to find crispy and well seasoned French fries that aren't soft and wilted. These fries were perfect. We spent about $30 with tip and enjoyed the full service care Kerby provided us. We will always come back here for her food. We ordered before going next door to the vape shop and returned to wait on our food. Kerby freshly prepares her food daily, the food is always perfectly portioned for to go orders and dine in options. There are tables and chairs setup to allow for dine in service. Kerby takes care of everyone attentively with care. The prices and menu is great for anything Caribbean. Thank you for your great care every time we visit. read more

So freaking good I love this food I got it 3 days in a row and service is perfect it takes a while but that's how you know it's fresh

I placed a pickup order at Bodeau's last night and from start to finish it was a pleasure. Called placed my order over the phone. Once I arrived I was welcomed into a small cozy restaurant. The food was ready; they showed me the food before putting it in the bag, and it was such large portions, even with me ordering a medium lol. I got home and, unfortunately, had to make a few more stops before heading straight home, so I had to use the microwave to get it back to the correct temperature. And even then the ox tails, mac and cheese, cabbage, plantains, jerk chicken, black rice, and rice and beans were ALL flavorful, juicy, and delicious! I also ordered the red velvet banana pudding which was also very delicious even though the bananas weren't as sweet as I normally prefer. read more

Eat here! We got the vegan combo and the flavor was out of this world. Everything dish was perfection. Service was fantastic, the owner was so sweet and helpful making us feel right at home. My family devoured our meal and left so full and happy. The food: Fries - fresh and crispy seasoned fries, excellent Cabbage - this cabbage is what dreams are made of, tender and flavorful quite literally the perfect cabbage dish Beans and rice - was a family favorite, tasty balance for the bold flavors. Even our picky eater who typically prefers plain rice happily took a third helping and complimented the flavor. Tofu - you don't need to be vegan to enjoy this dish. Spicy deep fried tofu with a pungent sauce peppers and onions. You've never tasted tofu this good. read more

I love Kirby's food! The brown stew chicken and curry chicken are both so flavorful and tender, the meat falls off the bone. I only ever get the large serving bc I love leftovers, and she gives great portions! I love that you get several plantains with it. I'll be back! read more

Bodeau's Caribbean Cuisine is an independent, Haitian-owned restaurant on the Eastside of Las Vegas. The restaurant's menu is primarily a mashup of Haitian, Jamaican, and American soul food cuisines. My last visit was in February 2022. I had just moved to the Las Vegas Valley nine months earlier and decided to be intentional about supporting local Black-owned businesses during the month of February. The restaurant's highlights include top notch customer service and flavorful, well-seasoned food. read more

Bodeau's Caribbean Cuisine is hands-down one of the BEST dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth, good vibes, and the mouthwatering aroma of authentic island cooking that instantly transports you straight to the Caribbean. I had the oxtail, fried tilapia, and shrimp Rasta Pasta and WOW -- it was bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and fall-off-the-bone tender. The rice and peas were fluffy and flavorful, the plantains were caramelized to perfection, and don't even get me started on the homemade sauces -- . You can taste the love in every bite. The service? Top-notch. Friendly, fast, and full of heart. The staff made me feel like family, and they were happy to walk me through the menu and recommend favorites. Whether you're already a fan of Caribbean food or trying it for the first time, Bodeau's is the real deal. Authentic, soulful, and absolutely unforgettable.

Owner can throw downnnn in the kitchen. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Something about every single item we ordered tasted overwhelmingly comforting. Similar to eating a home cooked meal made out of love. Seriously amazing customer service. The abundance of warmth the woman that greeted us with when we walked in matched the feeling we got with the first bite we took of her food! We pass this place on the way home everyday and we are so glad we chose to try it cause it really is a hidden gem tucked in the corner of a quiet plaza. We will 100% be back to try other menu items! read more

As soon as we came in the staff was kind and informative on the menu. I was craving patties and they didn't have any available at the time but later made some for my friend and I. This is a great family environment. I don't have pictures because I was starving , I left happy. I ordered a jerk chicken plate with a side of macaroni and cheese. Great food! read more

Great food amazing flavors. I wish the restaurant was cleaner but it's authentic. Be careful stuff is spicy

Delicious food and great service. The owner is very friendly and cooks very tasty food. We got the medium oxtails and medium jerk chicken. It comes with cabbage, plantains, and your choice of rice or mac and cheese. We liked the oxtails the most, but everything was great. We put the oxtails sauce on the cabbage and dipped the plantains in it, which gave them a boost of flavor. We wanted to try the red snapper too, but we knew we wouldn't finish everything. We had to take a bit of this order to go. We will definitely be back for it! read more

This place is delicious. They do the best they can with what they've got. It's just her and one person helping out. So if the wait is long, don't be mean.. she's a one woman show. While waiting for our food I asked my brother how does she do it?! Prepping, shopping, and just her there all day! Good for her!! I hope the word gets out and I hope she gets some great help anddddd get herself into a better location so people will know how to find her!! The place is small and just plain tables and a TV. But who cares? The food speaks for itself and has more flavor than some 5 star restaurants. Unfortunately, they were out of oxtails. But I'm looking forward to getting back there and trying it out!! read more

They have a secret menu item called Djon Djon (John John). It is outstanding. It's a flavored rice dish and, if you ask nicely, they will spoon oxtail gravy on top. It's a must try! I would post a pic but we ate it all. read more

I typically don't stand over my take out container sucking on chicken bones, as a matter of fact it's the last thing I would do, but babbbbbby, NOT TAday!! When I tell you this jerk chicken had me slapping mamas, well it just did! Then, just when I thought it doesn't get any better than this, I tasted my partners curried goat and babbbbbby, I WISH there were bones in it so I can stand there sucking again lol, do goats have bones? Kidding!!! But not kidding about the serious flavor, balanced, tender, delicious freshness in this dish! Now rice and peas anywhere else would have been hit or miss... You guessed it HIT!! Damn girl do you get anything wrong? And the banana pudding you hid for yourself and graciously sold to us anyway, was everything I didn't know I needed in a banana pudding. Definitely in a league of it's own. Lastly my son sent me a text when he got his jerk rasta pasta.. it was four lines De lic Sious WOWZA I can't make this shit up! As you can tell, we all thoroughly enjoyed our food and would return again and again. You should too! Don't sleep on this one, you will surely miss out!!! My new go to for the real deal!!

Let me start by saying this little gem is a hole in the wall so if you blink you might miss it, but I stumbled across it on yelp when I was trying to find some oxtails and Mac n cheese one day. This place is just filled with good energy, the people made me feel like home and the food was so good and baybeee not only did I get my oxtails and Mac n cheese I got some curried goat. Let me just say I was in heaven. I couldn't have asked for better. And they are not stingy with the portions. The flavor was everything like it really could have been made in my kitchen. I'm so glad I found this place, I will definitely be back. Please keep doing your thing and representing the culture I love to see it. My friends can't wait to come out here to check yall out because I definitely got home and had to call people. read more

Food was very good, especially the oxtails and Mac and cheese! Curry chicken was basically shredded, so if you prefer bigger pieces of chicken rather than shredded, i would ask if they can accommodate prior to ordering. However, still very tasty. Other than that, oxtail and curry broth both very tasty!! Oxtails tender, rice and peas and cabbage both delish. Will def be ordering from here again! read more

I love this place. It's become my go to for Caribbean cuisine and the portions are large. One order can be for two or three people. The first time I went to this restaurant the smell hit me instantly, it was a preview of what I was getting and they didn't disappoint. The service is great, warm, and welcoming, it felt like being invited to someone's home kitchen. I have already recommend and will continue to do so. read more

First off, I had the pleasure of meeting Kerby, the owner. She's the sweetest person ever, and you can really tell she's all about bringing positivity into her restaurant. My girlfriend and I came here after horseback riding since it was on the way to our house, and it was probably the best decision we could've made. We ordered for takeout the goat curry, catfish, chicken wings, jerk chicken, mac 'n cheese, and she even gave us a bonus serving of oxtail! (I know it's a lot, we were hungry) Everything was a 10/10, and for my first time trying Caribbean cuisine, I'll definitely be coming back. One of the best local spot we've found yet! read more

First time trying this restaurant. It didn't disappoint. If you're in the mood for carribean try this place out. It is located in a very small restaurant. There's only the owner cooking the food so there could be a wait when ordering but it's worth it. The owner however is very friendly and provides great customer service. We ordered the oxtail plate and the chicken curry plate to go. Both plates were amazing. I enjoyed the oxtail more than the curry. It was very flavourful and seasoned nicely in its broth. The sides it came with such as the rice and beans, plantains and cabbage tasted great as well. The first carribean spot I've tried in Vegas and the best so far. If you're in Vegas and looking for carribean food, you should definitely support this small but delicious restaurant out. read more

The service was great. The woman at the counter was friendly and she brought the food to our table. We decided to give this place a try because we saw they offered whole snapper. My husband loves escovitch snapper. Unfortunately, the snapper tasted like it was fried in very old grease and it made the breading and skin so dark and hard. The star of the show was the broth with peppers/onions. Dipping the flesh of the fish in that broth was the only thing that made the fish edible. The fried shrimp breading was extremely salty. I tried to mix the rice and peas and cabbage with the shrimp to dull the flavor. It didn't work because I really didn't care for the cabbage or the rice and peas. They were both missing something My son ordered tilapia and fries and left most of it on the plate. It all tasted like it was cooked in the same oil. We spent about $90 and all left very disappointed. We eat at many Caribbean places in and around the DMV area but none with a more Haitian undertone. I ordered shrimp here to be on the safe side because the photos of oxtails and jerk chicken didn't look to be prepared in a Jamaican or Trinidadian way so I didn't think I'd enjoy them. What we did try, I did not enjoy so I'm not rushing to try any other dishes. read more
