Chef Creole Seasoned Kitchen, tucked away on the non-secure upper level departures section of Miami International Airport, is the kind of find that makes you actually look forward to your arrival to the airport. The portions are HUGE. You will not walk away hungry. And unlike, pre-packaged food you might expect at an airport or the fast food chains, everything here is freshly made. You can taste the difference immediately. The food is excellent -- mild soulful flavors that feel authentic and satisfying. For the quality and quantity you're getting, the prices are very appropriate and honestly a steal by airport standards. The service is friendly, efficient, and genuinely warm. Now, let's talk about the hot sauce. It is AMAZING. (Vinegar based lots of flavor and acidity and just to touch of heat) It elevates every single dish. You can buy it separately to take home. Easily one of the best souvenirs you'll find at any airport. read more

Surprise ... large plate portions, fair price, and crazy good!! Small place in concourse outside of security near Qatar check-in counters. There are also a few tables inside but they were all full. Everything looked so good. Decided on Stew Chicken ... but changed to Jerk after seeing both people before me get it and it was super flavorful with just a splash of heat (which could be turned up by adding the included side condiment). They were also super nice and even let me try the Jambalaya. Too many good options ... so little time! read more

Chef Creole Seasoned Kitchen - Jerk Chicken w. Rice and Beans & Collard Greens ... took a few bites - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

This is a decent place to go to at Miami International. I've been multiple times before. The food is delicious! I've never been disappointed with the plates until this last time going. Usually I get the stewed chicken, rice and plantains- BOMB! Never ever disappoints! Especially with the vinegar sauce they give you! Oooweee! This last time I got the fish sandwich. It's $12, make sure you read the fine print- it comes with a soda. And that's it. No fries. No plantains. One little 4 bite sandwich with a big whopping price of $12 Inside the airport, I can get a fish sandwich with fries and a drink for $13. I was definitely disappointed with this past visit. Oh- if I wanted fries- they were $6. Just a Handful of frozen fries. So, long story short, the good tastes good! Get a plate for $15. Do not...I repeat.. Do not waste your time and feelings on an overpriced sandwich. You'll be left still hungry! I hope they change the sandwich issue. read more

The food was DELICIOUS OMG! The portion sizes were great to share! The jerk chicken was tender and seasoned well. Beans and rice was delicious. Plantains were perfection. Great location in the airport as well. The location is simple too, great to grab a bite and go. The service was ok, not too friendly but hey sometimes it happens! If I'm ever in Miami, I will stop by again and enjoy some yummy food! read more

Small place outside security. Located near DOOR 10. NOT GATE 10. Not fancy. Small place. We had the Jerked chicken with dirty rice. We both enjoyed the meal. Noticed a large part of their business is airport employee/plane crews. Pretty good sign. Attaching pics of chicken and menu. FYI one serving fed two people. Friendly staff. (Fryer alarm is REALLY loud) read more

I was stuck at Miami Airport for two days and this place is the best. 90% of the customers are airport employees so you know it's legit. I got a the conch stew and although it was pricey, it was well worth it. read more

This has been trending in my social feeds so I had to try it before leaving Miami. They opened at 10 AM and we were the first customers to get a late breakfast/early lunch. The line of cooked food looked amazing - stew chicken, oxtails, jambalaya, jerk chicken, rice & beans and more. Fried items are dropped once ordered so they're served fresh. The food is extremely fresh, tasty and the pickling adds some spicy kick to everything. We did order the conch fritters that are cooked to order and served hot. There's 6 per order so they're perfect for sharing. It's a restaurant at Terminal E (before you enter TSA) so it's fairly small but has a few tables. The decor is tropical with lots of videos and photos of the owner, his locations and social stuff they've done. This location has a 4.9 Google rating so they stand by customer service and quality food. read more

Shout out to Ramses and Gary from the airport location. They were very friendly and helped me understand their menu as I'm not super familiar what to pair with this cuisine. The food was amazing and portion size was huge! I got the Jambalaya and it was to die for. This was also my first time trying pikliz and I was blown away. I'll definitely be buying some from their online store soon. read more

Can you think of any other restaurants - especially chain restaurants - that get a mention in a Wale track ("Miami Nights , a duet with Rick Ross")? I stopped at the Miami International Airport location of Chef Creole when I went this past Saturday for my Global Entry interview. They're located in the departure area of the second floor of Concourse E, a short walk from the office I was going to. Their menu is the Haitian version of a lot of Caribbean classic dishes. I enjoyed a plate of red beans and rice (diri Ak pwa), jerk seasoned grilled chicken breast and sweet plantains. A side of spicy pikliz came with my lunch. The jerk chicken had the requisite yummy spiciness, even before adding the pikliz. But then I noticed the rice was also hot! That is because the rice is also seasoned with cayenne pepper and thyme. I wasn't able to get any dessert or the mango smoothie. I'll have to return for that, or try it at any of their other locations. Besides them packing the boxes in case l was flying (Ibiza in a few years perhaps :) they have a few tables in their space with nice murals of Haiti. The server who attended me cafetearía style was really pleasant in explaining the different seasonings. I would very much recommend Chef Creole for tasty & spicy Caribbean food. read more

Great restaurant just outside of security at MIA airport. The service was friendly and fast. In between flights I was able to grab some jerk chicken with rice and peas. I get it whenever I can and it never disappoints! If you have time, definitely try it out. They do have limited in restaurant seating! read more

Easily some of the best airport food I've ever had. Really worth leaving security just to eat here and then going back through security.

Chef Creole was a pleasant surprise! I was honestly shocked that this is such an affordable option for real food inside the airport! Prices were very reasonable for piping hot, unprocessed, well-seasoned meats and seafood. The menu is sizable considering the location - chicken, oxtail, fish and shrimp, wings, even conch! The location is small but the space is laid out well. And folks are not afraid to pack in there for this good food. There is a small amount of seating but most of the customers were taking food to go so seating was available. I didn't have a big appetite and actually went in, looking for soup - none on the menu. So I got a side of rice and peas with chicken sauce on top. The rice was cooked to perfection, loose not t all gummy, seasoned perfectly and very moist. The sauce took it up a notch but the pikliz knocked it out of the water! The pikliz was delicious - tangy, crunchy! I don't tolerate spice well; for me, it gave a light tingle to the mouth. But that was it, not too spicy. Chef Creole is doing airport cuisine right! Glad it was located directly across from my airline's check-in on Concourse E, otherwise I would not have known about it. Will keep them in mind should I find myself this way again. And definitely have one of their other locations on the list for when I make it back home. read more

Haitian restaurant at Miami International Airport. I absolutely loved all the pictures on the wall. I ordered the stew chicken and 2 sides of plantains. My husband got the stew chicken with rice and plantains. If you are really hungry the portion is large. If not you have left overs!!! We also ordered 2 beef patties. The patties were my favorite. The pastry was so soft and crisp. read more

I mean come on now. All this for 13.00! Where else are you eating like this in a airport. The guy literally put 3-4 pieces of chicken in this container. I end up splitting it with my boyfriend, there was no way I could eat all of this. I know people say that this isn't real Caribbean food but idc, i personally enjoy it every time. Again like I stated before just make sure you have the time to get yourself food prepared. Thanks Chef Creole read more

Chef Creole Seasoned Kitchen - Grilled Chicken, Plantains Beans & Rice - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

My flight departed out of the E Gates so I stopped by "The Chef Creole" for some food before my flight. The service is very friendly and the employees went above and beyond to assist me. I ordered the rice with beans with grilled chicken and plantains, the food was excellent, every bite had lots of flavor and delicious taste. The chicken was tender and savory and the rice was fantastic. So happy to find this Haitian restaurant with great flavors at the Miami airport. I also tried the fish Haitian pattie. I like the taste and soft crust. Not spicy. Love to come back to continue trying their exceptional cuisine! read more

I tried this place twice . 1st time and my last time going . Not a fan,doesn't taste like Haitian food at all.

I work here at the airport so I come here almost every day!!! The food here is amazing. I've tried several things here. I even tried every single type of chicken they make from grilled chicken to stew chicken to fried chicken wings. All of them taste amazing. I love adding a side of hot sauce that I throw all over my food. The collard greens has a nice spicy kick to it which I love. I have no complaints. Now this place does get really busy and they are short staffed so be nice!! read more

chef creole 7th ave and 121st street is fairly new from what i see i went there yesterday and purchased the griot complete and paid 21.00 plus dollars for food and drink only to be thoroughly disappointed!!! The atmosphere was really nice and the workers and customer service as well was top tier but the food was extremely lacking the griot was fried too hard and no flavor like the other lovations flavoring of the rice was meh as well ... i thought the flavoring was the same all around but i guess not . Please let's work on that especially for the money we have to pay . Nobody wants a loaded plate of no flavor ... i think chef Ken needs to make a visit to this location and season the food and show them the griot shouldn't be fried hard that you have to struggle chewing .. i did look at the food before taking it and it looked really good but the flavor was missing !!!!'nn read more

I highly recommend this place for those looking for good Haitian food as well as good airport food. There are other location in the Miami area but this airport location fills the void since Haitian food is hard to find outside of NY and FL. The griot and the red snapper are highly recommended choices. The people the work there are nice. The best part is that MIA airport employees get a discount. Also a good place to eat for those who lave a long layover. Everything about this place is good. Eat here and thank me later. read more

Outstanding! Will definitely come here again! Fresh fish and conch! This place is a hidden gem. read more

Great food and a great customer service from mimi very clean good food good service 10/10 overall

Man oh man was this an unexpected TREAT. We ended up at this restaurant after a failed party for Miami carnival. We wanted to slide to our favorite Trinidadian spot, but it was too far. We started looking for food in the area and my Haitian friend found this place in google. Overflowing blessings need to endlessly fall on the owner, cooks, builders, and cleaning staff. When I tell you this food was soooooo good. I've never been to a restaurant where EVERYTHING was the bomb. Like all the way down to the sauces. We all ordered different items and sampled from each other, which turned into us ordering more to take back with us. The guys that greeted us were super nice and gave great recommendations. I wish I could give them a 10/10. I can't wait to go back to get some more . read more

Only good thing was Gary and staff. Gospel music was playing so loud, I had a headache and hangover, too loud! I get my food and half of it is cold. When I get my replacement food, that is cold too! Beans and rice, needs way more beans. Chicken was dry and over cooked. Plantains were good. Overall not worth the money we spent!! read more

Let me start off by saying, this place is so ridiculously delicious I literally missed my flight because I could not stop eating! After hearing so much about Chef Creole during my last visit to Miami I was super excited to see that our gate was near the restaurant. So as we waited to board, we gave in to our cravings and ordered the oxtails, rice and beans and the fish filet. Disclaimer. The Fish filet is not a small piece of fish, it is the ENTIRE piece of fish. Being that it was my first time here I had no idea. And of course, this was the main reason I ended up missing my flight back to LA. But, it was totally worth it! As you can tell I am a super foody and I would trade my seat again for another taste of those oxtails and that crispy, juicy fish. The staff was extremely friendly and outgoing. They held conversation with almost every guest in line. It's a small space but you definitely feel welcome. I am so glad we had a chance to try their delicious food and can't wait to return and taste those amazing flavors again! read more

As always Gary and the staff are always nice and helpful with the ordering process. I appreciate the warm welcomes. Food is always on point!. read more

I got a takeout order with the griot platter with red beans/rice & plantain. I also ordered the conch fritters, a curry chicken pattie, and a side of greens. The food was decent and the staff were friendly, but they forgot my curry chicken pattie and utensils! Needless to say, I was very frustrated once I went to eat my food on the plane. This place is before security, so make sure you check your bag/orde before you leave. read more

One thing about the Chef Creole locations, out in Miami streets, is that the their food are disrespectfully nasty. This airport location is no different. I thought there would be no way in heck that they'd serve the same unseasoned, sloppy presentation, & slow service they do at the other restaurants here at the airport. I thought wrong... tragic read more

Walked by here several times during Covid and it was closed, but was excited to see it open again and have been here several times. I'm not super adventurous, but have tried several dishes, mostly chicken based, and they all have been incredibly tasty. Today I had the jambalaya and a small side of jerk chicken. It was awesome. I try to come here whenever my flight schedule allows. You won't leave hungry either... read more

The service was great, I can't remember his name, but he worked at night on July 16th of this year. He had great customer service. Both him and the other lady working in the kitchen. They were both kind enough to explain and help me understand the menu. I wish I could remember his name. He wore a hat. And cooked the oxtail. Thanks again. Greens were great. read more

Wow. What can I say? Stopped by this hidden restaurant before my flight to NJ and was just blown away. The greeters were friendly, and their food was not only delicious, but priced at a steal. A whole container of fried pork, rice and peas, and 2 plantains for $15. The pork was extremely flavorful, the rice and peas were seasoned to perfection, and I'm not a plantain person, but their plantains won me over. They even give you a choice of different kinds of gravy with your meal. Next time I'm in Miami I will 100% be back! read more
