Now this was a first in my Carribean restaurant explorations over many years. Ya know, we tend to…read moreforget about Haiti because of flavors of Jamaica, Cuba, Trini, PR, DR and so on. I met some Haitian friends of friends in The A one trip, and I asked what are some of their main dishes and I was drawn in as she was describing the different ones, so I asked the folks that lived there (the others were visiting from FL) if there was a Haitian restaurant in town and he mentioned this one and was like "they're ok". That was good enough for me to try, so me and my mom went the next day. Upon entering, the place was kinda dingy and worn down, but it was smelling great in there. I was looking to try the Fried Goat (which is a way different style to me) but they had just started prepping goat and was going to be a while (it was 3pm...they'd been open since 11a...kinda strange), so I went with the Fried Turkey, side of Pikilz, Green plantains, Dumplings, Black Rice and Cashew Praline for dessert. So, the Black Rice I was really looking forward to next, after seeing pictures of it with minced mushrooms on top and told it was made with mushroom soup. But when we for our to-gos I checked to make sure they got everything and I went to smell the rice and it looked and smelled like Chinese fried rice (!). I was about to be disappointed big time, I was thinking. But I noticed there was a lot of traffic behind us while we were waiting, so that was a good sign. We went home and unpacked it all and what surprised me was the size of the Plantains...they were HUGE. Never seen anything like it. So these are the unsweet type, so you have to eat it with something else to flavor it up. Then I got into the China rice, which had green peas in it and took a bite. Man! totally fooled me....that rice was BOMB. Flavor was totally different from how I smelled it earlier. My apologies HCD! Fried Turkey: a bit overcooked but good. I've had plenty of fried turkey in my time and this one was passable. Now, when you throw that Pikilz on top of that turkey, it gets turned up some notches. That lil side dish is better than any country's side dish I've ever had (Mexico, Kenya, Lebanon, India). I couldn't figure out what parts make up Pikilz, but that's some real genius culinary right dere. But, you know what finished me off nicely towards inevitable Itis? That Cashew Praline....omg. Straight up homemade sex I tell you. No chemicals in this! The way they just have sitting piled up on a tray all by itself, is the worse presentation, but you'll be shocked at how fresh and sweet it is. Man oh man oh man. I'll be back for that Goat! Sapa segne nabule.

They have your standard rice and beans, white rice and sous pwa, chicken, griot and legume. If you want something specific or of a large quantity, I recommend texting the business for your order and they will have it ready for you. After trying their food and knowing they do sell out of certain items towards the end of the day, I got a catering tray of djon djon rice which I haven't had in years. I gobbled up a good bit of the food before I could snap a photo. It was so good! The owner and staff are very polite, hospitable and provide excellent service. It was a joy to speak with them and I look forward to continuing to support their business when I am in town.

Great service and great food, real home cooking. Feels inviting and homey. 10/10 I recommend.read more

I was in the right lane and couldn't get over to the left. I google Haitian food near me to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me. I called and said where are yall located. I said I will be there shortly. I was on 2 wheels turning around to get here. None of these details matter but I really need you all to understand lol. I walked in and immediately ordered. I've been craving griot for 2 years. The last time I had amazing griot was a Haitian spot in Paris. The lady who took my order was nice. There were some Haitians inside so I knew the food was about to be fire!! I got my food kinda quick and walked out. In the parking lot, I yelled out to a guy who was inside and said "I'm about to go home and beat this food down!" He chuckled and asked if I was Haitian. (I'm not but this food that's about to be in my tummy is!) This place right here does not disappoint. The food was hot and tasty... the pikliz was good and spicy! Ooooh weeee. I will be back and I'm a little to spread the word! My goodness. Thank you for opening up on Stockbridge!!!

The first time, I still had about a 10-15 minute wait even after the app said my food was ready. This second time, I was able to get my order right away when I walked in. The staff is always friendly regardless of wait time. The restaurant is really a grab and go location; there isn't sufficient space or set-up for dining in. Each time I've been, there has been consistent for traffic in and out, so it's pretty popular. On my first visit (while standing around waiting for my order to be ready), I learned from listening to other ppl order that there is a lunch special where the meals featuring chicken are cheaper. I believe it goes thru 1pm. In my first visit, I tried lots of things and was largely disappointed in the taste. I had the brown stewed chicken and oxtail meals (both ordered with heavy gravy), a turkey wing, a chicken soup, and coco bread. The oxtails were the only thing I truly enjoyed. The sides on the meals were just okay except the plantains. The plantains were hard and dry, truly inedible. The chicken soup wasn't flavorful enough; I wouldn't order it again. For me, the turkey wing seasoning was too spicy, but my husband enjoyed it. On this second visit, I went only to pick up two turkey wings for my husband, as he has continued to talk about trying the turkey wing again. He ate them both for dinner along with some homemade rice a d veggies. He wanted to order sides but I discouraged that based on the first experience. Pete's is located in a strip mall that seems to have some other Caribbean businesses, including a market next door. The parking lot has an approaching need for repavement and line repainting. *uploaded pics are from first visit*

The food quality and quantity also are contributing factors. The artwork throughout including history pieces on the origin of the Haitian flag, and a prominent display of leadership which included my great, great, great, grandfather brought joy to my heart! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal which consisted of kabrit (goat), Djon Djon rice, green plantain and salad. I did request extra pikliz and gravy, as the gravy doubles as my salad dressing due to the rich flavor. The ample portions allowed for two additional meals, which were equally delicious as the seasoning marinated additionally. Everything was fresh. The rolls I purchased were soft to the touch and I was assured that they were baked that day after inquiring. They reminded me of my father, also of Haitian descent, and the bakery in South Florida near parent's retirement community. My dad would take me there and we would get fresh Haitian bread and rolls. Truly, one of the best nostalgic moments with the reminder of him and the delicious food. The location provided ample parking, and was not crowded when I first arrived. I placed my order after looking at all the offerings, including jams and other Haitian baked goods. Although I was assured that my food would be ready in about 15 minutes, it was closer to 30. Several people came in after me picking up large orders. My order taker acknowledged that my food would be ready soon, and I appreciated that. Thankfully, I was not in a rush. Do keep that in mind when visiting, and ordering in advance may be an option. I will definitely return to try my other favorites, including griot (despite limiting pork intake...smh) and legume. Truly pleased to find a great Haitian restaurant in Gwinnett. Shout out to the Tik Tok person who brought it to my attention in her post!

I got the chicken, white rice & beans (it's mostly just the soup) lunch plate for $32 including drink but it's sooooo worth it. If you ain't sweating inside a Caribbean spot, it ain't authentic lmao.
