Beignets Caribbean Cafe

Beignets were good. Got the ones with pecans and Carmel. And a frozen hurricane drink. Live jazz music was wonderful .

I decided to try this place since I saw it had ox tails and the former reviewer said they were good. First, although the menu said ox tails and a side $18.99 I told him oxtails with rice and beans. The gentleman charged me $25 for the order. The order came in a styrofoam container. There was hardly any oxtails and the container was full of cabbage! The oxtails were not brown at all. They looked greyish like they were put in a pot of water boiled and served without the browning and slow braised fall off the bone meat that I usually get from potters house. I will not return and will be sticking with potters house in the future.

Best small restaurant is located on Barnes Road just off of University Boulevard. It is the corner store of a nondescript shopping center that has definitely seen better days. The restaurant itself is very simple and nondescript, as well. There is nothing wrong with that. I believe that Jamaican food is best served in such a humble surroundings. In fact, I can say that all the best Jamaican meals that I have had, have come from little hole-in-the-wall, very nondescript places like this restaurant. Unfortunately, Beignets will not being added to this list of great restaurants built in humble surroundings. I found the whole experience rather lackluster, from the service to the good.I walked in during prime lunch hour. I would say about 12:30 to a virtually empty store. There was one gentleman in there awaiting takeout. This should have set the warning bells off and had my Spidey senses tingling (a Spiderman reference there), but I decided that I was there. I was unceremoniously handed a menu and the man walked off. I took that as a signal to find a table. I ended up deciding to go with the lunch special of the jerk chicken, which was $7.50. The food was brought out relatively fast in a takeout container with plastic utensils (probably due to COVID-19). I opened the container and seen a decent amount of rice and three small pieces of chicken. I would say that I would have gotten more meat off of three chicken wings. The rice was bland as was the chicken. The chicken was also dry, as if it had been overcooked or was sitting out way too long.The food had none of the complexity that Jamaican and Caribbean food should have. It was rather one dimensional and I would not be surprised if the jerk sauce was from a jar.Service was pretty bad, as well. Not rude, just uncaring. I was never asked how the meal was or if I needed anything. My food, like the menu, was unceremoniously handed to me and the server was gone.I honestly cannot see myself returning here.

So here's the thing, my mom always orders Haitian food in every city she visits. It's a hit or miss and today was a miss because she didn't get what she ordered but was charged an arm and a leg. She asked for double griot and was charged for double but didn't get what she ordered. She said it wasn't good. I'm disappointed but not surprised.

I have dined here many times over the years. I would only order what I was familiar with, and always get an order of beignets. This place was run and owned by a quirky elderly lady. She ran a tight restaurant. The last time I was there, it seemed to be different. I believe maybe she sold out to retire. I actually liked it and enjoyed it more than ever. It's been a while since I have been here, but they are back on my radar again. I will go soon. You should too.

Just called this place to inquire about codfish patties. The lady who answered spoke Creole. I don't speak it too well. I asked if they had any patties. She kept responding in Creole. I told her that I don't speak Creole too well. She didn't care. She insisted I speak Creole. I asked if there was someone who spoke English, she miraculously spoke English saying "No English!" Then she hung upon me. It seems she forgot that she's not in Haiti, but the United States! I've been to this place several times before, in addition to having called several times before, and I was never spoken to like that. I'm deeply disappointed to have been spoken to like that after having frequented their establishment so many times. The food here is excellent, or at least it was the last time. I'm hoping the food quality is different from the customer quality I received today.

Service was poor facilities where extremely dirty And the last I check this is stew not jerk . The rice was uncooked wasn't edible. Would not come here again

I love going there the people there serve you like family they are so sweet and so caring I love it there it makes me feel like I'm home don't forget about the food it is amazing best Haitian food I've ever had in my entire life. Love y'all
