I'm just not sure how current it is. The place is a pleasant hole in the wall -- nothing pretentious. It feels like the kind of random roadside spot you'd find somewhere in the islands. From the moment we walked in, to the minute we left, I felt welcomed, comfortable, and at home. We sat at the small bar and enjoyed a few delicious Haitian Prestige beers and an appetizer, and talked with the owner who help us to decide on what to order. He was nice, helpful, and so genuinely friendly that I felt like family. Though not pictured on the menu, I'm pretty sure our appetizer was Haitian Akra (Malanga Fritters). Good and different from anything I've had before. For our entrées, we ordered the Conch and the Fried Pork with Red Beans, Black Rice, and Fried Plantains. Everything was delicious. I'm so glad we finally tried this place, and I can't wait to go back and eventually try everything on the menu.

Also served with a black bean sauce. Never once since I have been coming here have I had a bad meal. They give you a very decent amount of food. We're able to eat from both twice. The pork is very well seasoned and the meat in the callalo is so tender. They even have my favorite coconut soda Coco Rico. I will give this place 10 starts if I was able too. The owners is very nice as well. I recommend this place for anyone who will like to try Griot for the first time and more.

I'm Haitian and while I can make most of the dishes, they are for sure time consuming- in comes a…read morelocal restaurant which offers good food consistently. I typically get the fried turkey with rice and beans. The price is about $21 a plate and is a good amount to have about 2.5 servings. The turkey is crispy and a good portion sized. They offer many of the popular drinks that can be found in the Caribbean favorites. Now, the service-- the service is not the best, it happens at way more Caribbean restaurants then I would like. The staff are nice but it is an incrediblely long wait- even if you order ahead, which I recommend doing. The space and ambiance is challenging. Its a small storefront so many people are hanging about inside or right outside waiting for their meals. Again, I highly recommend calling your order ahead to expedite your order and improve your experience.

I have never had Haitian food so I have nothing to compare it to. However, the chicken legs were cut up and appeared to fried naked, pretty damn good. Maintaining low carbs, I didn't have rice and beans, but can only imagine how that would have enhanced the flavor. When I I told I didn't want any rice or beans, they looked at me like I had 5 heads but I was cool with it. Instead of rice and beans, I had lettuce and tomato salad and what appeared to be a spicy based cole slaw. I did indulge in the fried plantain, so good. I was traveling and had a flight to catch, straight up ate it at a bar in the West Palm Beach airport with a cold beer 5ha5 was needed for that slaw. Folks at the bar was like that looks good.

Although rice and red beans is a staple in the Haitian community, they refuse to serve it. If you ask for rice and red beans they say "yes we have it" but when you get your food it's a totally different rice. I'd rather go somewhere else for better food and better service. The fish filet is just about they only thing they have that separates them from any other Haitian restaurant in the area.

Decided to start eating more turkey since I wanted to take in more lean protein so I opted to start incorporating turkey into my diet. Saw that they had it on their menu and added it not thinking I'd care for it much, but since turkey was what I needed, turkey was what I got. And WOW! Crispy, crunchy & even fatty pieces that completely changed my mind about how I can eat turkey and how turkey can be prepared. Not to mention the turkey had a subtle spicy kick to it. Went with a salad instead of the rice & beans (though I can only imagine how good that would've been with this platter. The two sauces that come with food have a nice kick to them and were friggin' DELICIOUS. This spot literally made me think of turkey in a whole new light. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This place had a delicious griot meal that came with rice and beans a salad a spicy slaw and some amazing juice or whatever it's called that you get to dunk the pieces of delicious tender meat into. Everything in this little container tasted absolutely amazing I really am considering bumping this review up to a five. The reason I won't give it a five is because it has very limited space to eat inside and the price is perhaps a dollar more than the other spot I go to. I might come back and try their chicken and if that proves to be just as delicious I will gladly give them a perfect score. For now it gets my ultimate recommendation and a score that means I will come back here regularly.

I've been to the Margate location several times, and it never disappoints, so I had high expectations for this location. I'm happy to say it lived up to every one of them. The snapper was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the turkey stew was rich, tender, and comforting, and the Haitian rice was just as delicious as I remembered. Of course, no meal is complete without their pikliz, which added the perfect amount of heat and flavor to every bite. The service was fantastic from start to finish, and the ambiance really elevated the experience. The restaurant is vibrant, colorful, and full of Caribbean charm. They had kompa music playing throughout our meal, which created the perfect atmosphere and made us feel like we had been transported straight to the islands. My friends absolutely loved everything, and it was great seeing them experience authentic Haitian cuisine for the first time. Pearl of the Island delivers the same outstanding quality and consistency as the Margate location. If you're looking for incredible Haitian food and a welcoming Caribbean atmosphere, this is the place. Highly recommend--10/10.
