This place may not be much to look at, the service may lack sometimes depending on who you interact with but the food? Jezuzzzz, the food continues to be on point and the most authentic! I find that many people get intimidated when it comes to Haitian restaurants as they may not understand the menu or fear a black lash of not being able to speak Creole... Well I have visited this location many times and have not encountered an issue (speaking english), I do however make sure that I know what I want before coming into a restaurant where the food is foreign to me! This location sits in the heart of North Miami and there are soooo many options in the area for this type of cuisine but the main difference is that this restaurant always serves up the best! Upon driving up, it almost looks like a little house in blue color next to a subway, it has its own parking lot and the area is safe. I must say that some years ago, the inside was somewhat of a wreck but that has now changed... They have new tables and chairs, the flooring and ceiling were updated and there is a TV attached to the back wall which usually has a movie playing or local TV for your enjoyment as you wait for your to go or if you choose to stay and dine! The Food... Boulet (boo let) are Haitian style stewed meatballs and are friggin delicious! I believe you are given four in quantity but trust me they are big in size, they also sit in a savory sauce with onions and are served with a side of rice (your choice of white or red beans) and fried plantain! The meatballs are made of beef and have a slight crispiness, every ounce of beef is seasoned to the sky and keeps you wanting more in every bite. The sauce compliments the rice as it has just the right amount of spice! Poule (Pool eh) en sauce is stewed chicken. This dish is similar to the above dish I mentioned but instead of meatballs its chicken, not fried but simmered and stewed into a mild red Haitian sauce with onions! You get a lot of chicken and it's typically breast pieces! I also typically remove the chicken skin as it's not crispy. Griot (Gree OL) are fried pork chunks which typically the most favorite dish to get, these chunks are are marinated overnight and fried upon you ordering it! There always crispy on the outside but oh so nice, tender and juicy once you bite into it. If you have not tried this yet or even if you have then you are due for some enjoyment! Diri Kole (Dee We Co Lay) is red beans and rice and/or Diri Blanc (Dee We Bluh) which is white rice. This is usually automatically given to you with your dish and please don't mistake this for just some boiled up rice with salt, no no, this rice is boiled with various seasonings and once completed so will be able to eat the rice alone as its that good! I typically call my order in advance as sometimes the wait can be too much as this restaurant has become a staple in the area, please note that they only accept cash (I know I'm rolling my eyes too folks). Overall it's a great place to get Haitian food and at its best... Don't hesitate on giving it a try and just do it!

Literaly the worst Haitian Restaurant in miami. Their foods are so dry and the place is dirty. One time i saw roaches crawling on the wall...Pleaseeee!!! Do not eat there, nasty, nasty, disgusting!!!!

They have best Acra. I don't know what kind of seasoning they use but the food is so delicious.

Had the griot, it was great! You do need to go when you're not in a hurry because they seem to be very slow. We waited about 20 minutes for our order. The food is very well worth the wait though.

Avoid this place at all costs!! Just seen it on local 10 news "dirty dining" & for the review saying that "the akra is the best" I guess their secret ingredient is rodent droppings!! No thank you.

When looking at this place you have to apply a sort of "crazy/ hot " scale. The "crazy/ hot" scale is traditionally used to determine how much you are willing to put up with in relation with how attractive you find the person. Translated into restaurants this is: how good the food has to be for you to put up with unprofessional service and general inconvenience. THE FOOD IS THAT GOOD. Let me repeat THE FOOD IS THAT GOOD You don't come here for the service or the ambiance. Your best bet is to take the food to go and enjoy every morsel in your home. Yes the menu is in creole but if you hang in there, with enough patience, you will be able to order. Now to the food The oxtail has just the right amount of kick and consistency where it is tender but not overly so where you end up searching for the dissolved meat in the stew. The sauce only gets better when you combine it with their rice and beans. The griot, fried pork, is incredible and the way it is cooked does not dry it out during the frying process. The fried beef and the goat are also excellent. There truly isn't a wrong move when choosing the food. This restaurant started decades ago out of a house in little haiti where families would pull up to their driveway, go up to their kitchen window, order what they wanted and then proceed to wait 40 mins in their cars. Dont be intimidated by the humble locale or the standoffish service and be flexible with your expectations. The food will more than make up for it. BTW: Cash only

Fantastic local Haitain food. I dont eat goat because i had them as pets, but my friends say the goat taso is out of this world. BUT THIS IS MY REVIEW! I always choose the turkey taso or the griot. Both are phenomenal. Their pikliz is on par with the best. I honestly put this as one of the top Haitain restaurants in Miami. Their service is pushing them down a star, but the food is always amazing.

A girlfriend recommended this place since I liked the Moca Cafe down the street. For what is essentially a take-out place, the oxtail was pretty expensive and came with a heaping amount of oily rice and beans. The plantains were good, but I really would enjoy some cabbage or some other vegetables to go with my dish. What turned me off was when I tried to drop some cash into the Haiti Relief Fund box, the lady working the counter took it from me and kept it. What's up with that?

I can't believe I'd gone this long without having Haitian food. I was missing out. So I met up with a friend this week and decided to remedy the situation. He suggested Madame John's and he was right on point. This place was as authentic as they come. Small and quiet this place was perfect for lunch. Since it was my first time I wanted to try the griot but that's only available after 3 p.m. Upon learning that my friend suggested the goat. I had the goat, a legumes veggie dish, red beans and rice, and boiled plantain. Oh and of course the champagne soda, which reminded by a sugary drink I might have had as a kid at a bbq. The goat was good and just spicy enough were it added flavor without hurting the meal. However, please note I have zero spice tolerance, so this was probably extremely mild for the rest of you. I'm actually looking forward to trying more Haitian food and will definitely be coming back to this place and adding some others. Please keep in mind they only accept cash, so stop by the ATM before arriving.

READ THIS IN IT'S ENTIRETY! It's a dumpy, ugly place on the inside and the outside. I have been here for take-out 3 or 4 times and I think the food is pretty good. They are consistent with the flavors so no surprises here. I've ordered the Turkey Tassot Complet as well as the Griot Complet (means it comes with rice and beans vs only rice, salad, and green plantain). Each time that i've come here, the woman working behind the counter has an attitude. I am black american and I do not speak creole. First off, the menu is only in creole with no english explanation so I didn't really know what to ask for. As soon as she realized that I wasn't Haitian, she actually slammed her order-taking pen on the counter and rolled her eyes and walked away in exasperation and began to help someone else. A female patron witnessed this and asked me if the lady had just walked away from me. I told her yes but I didn't understand why. She began angrily speaking with the woman behind the counter in creole and then asked me if she could help me to tell the woman what I wanted. I told her what I wanted and she translated for me. After she helped me, she told me that they always have bad attitudes here and that if the food were not so good, she would not return. After my food was ready, the woman behind the counter bagged it up for me and said in very clear english, "Eight Dollars! Would you like anything to drink?" I don't know if that's the only thing she knows in english but it came out pretty clear to me. She refused to look at me and seemed to be very friendly to the male patrons. Well let me just say that this place is very out of the way from my home and it's good but not good enough to deal with being mistreated because I don't speak creole so I won't be back ever again. 1 star for good food but the service is the worst ever!! EVEEERRRR!!

I live near this place, and highly recommend it for take out if you don't feel like cooking. The exterior looks sketchy, and the inside set up doesn't look any better. Just a few hard, straight backed wooden chairs with tables probably hammered together right where they sit today. Don't worry - just go to the counter and order. If you don't speak French or Creole you will probably be the only one, but don't let that stop you - the counter ladies have always been helpful. There is no English menu available, so if you don't know the cuisine, just ask. If you know latin food, hatian food will be familiar, but still different. Griot is probably my favorite - a much better version of fried pork chunks, served with beans and rice cooked together, tostones, salad, and the delicious, spicy sauce ti malice. (It came by that "malice" fairly - be warned!) The pork is first marinated, then moist cooked in a pressure cooker before flash frying, so its very flavorful, and never dry like the latin restaurant versions can be. Also very good is . . . well, everything on the menu. Next time you are in the area looking for take out, check it out!

I leave in chicago and everytime i come to miami i make it a must to stop by and get me some good haitian food. The food is good as always. I give it a 3 star because the place is always dirty and smell bad. I never eat there i alway take my food to-go because of that.
