(Tip: ask for the ox tail sauce/gravy on the chicken and rice!) My favorite item hands down was the spicy beef patty though. Homemade. Full of flavor. Crunchy and flaky. Will definitely visit again

The young woman working the counter was very helpful. I decided on jerk chicken with rice and vegetables. The chicken was nice and juicy, perfectly spiced. A little heat, a little sweet. The rice, with gravy as suggested, was delicious. The vegetables were mostly cabbage with some peas, corn and carrots. The cabbage was sweet and still had some crunch. I'll try something new next time and also remember to take some pictures.

We visited on a Sunday and were lucky enough to catch Soup Joumou day. The soup was rich, comforting, and full of flavor. I had the beef version and finished every bite. The patties were another standout: flaky, crispy, and juicy. We tried both beef and chicken, and the beef was definitely the favorite. We also ordered black rice with peas, fried plantains, stewed chicken, baked mac and cheese, and griot to go. Everything was made fresh, well-seasoned, and the portions were just right. The drinks were refreshing too, we had the Couronne Fruit Champagne soda and the Ji Sitwon lemonade. One thing to note: food is cooked to order, so it's best not to come in a rush or to call ahead if you're short on time. It was about a 45-minute drive for us, but absolutely worth it. Even the leftovers didn't last long at home. Plenty of parking, great food, and a spot I'll definitely be returning to. If you're looking to try Haitian cuisine or switch things up, Pops & Poosh in Baldwin is well worth a visit.
