George's Family Cuisine

First off, I LOVE Haitian food and have been introduced by friends. There are not many options in Tampa for restaurants featuring Haitian food so I was very excited to finally try this restaurant that is literally 0.05 miles from me and on the street I've lived on since 1999 but never noticed. I went around 4pm on a Monday and as you can see from the pictures... they had near nothing left for the day. Normally, i would assume this just means they are in high demand, but according to the lady who was serving the food, she just hadn't had the opportunity to go buy the foods necessary to make any of the items I requested (tasso kabrit and griot). She told me she couldn't say when she planned to go buy more. So by default, the only thing left for the day was legume. I LOVE legume but have only had the green kind before. Hers was made with stewed beef and brown. To rate it I'd say "Eh..."I asked for 2 orders of the legume and my total came to $32.40... as you can see on the menu, legume is $14. Lucky for her, I wasnt in the mood to argue because i was so excited to try the food. I just mentally called her upcharging me a "tip." As you can see, the food is sitting out right in front of u already prepared. There were no customers in front of me and my order still took 15 minutes. Turns out, she decided she wanted to fry me some plantain as a courtesy. But had she just mentioned this, i could've told her that I don't even eat plantain and we just wasted 15 minutes of both our time.

Absolute Gem! Incredible flavour on all dishes. The rice and the turkey are my favorite in Tampa . Love this place dearly. The food is always delicious and fresh. Very kind service as well.

The owners are so kind. This Haitian restaurant is a hidden gem out here on Floribraska. It is the perfect spot for breakfast and lunch. If you are in the area don't be afraid to stop by, bring cash!!
