509 Caribbean Cuisine

You don't know how happy I am that they have a second location so close to us! The food is always delicious (both locations!) and the staff are awesome! I feel like I'm back in south FL. But why are you wasting time reading a review when you could be ordering some griot, diri djon djon and pickliz! Stop what you are doing and satisfy your mouth!

The food here is damn good. I recommend the griot (deep fried pork chunks) with onions. Double rice, regular plantains, double pikliz and an additional side of macaroni round out my order. The potato salad is another delicious side. Pricing is fair and varies by entree and sides. If they're busy it can be a wait but you can order ahead online. The food is always hot and fresh and 100% worth any waiting I've done. Definitely one of the tastiest Caribbean spots in Tallahassee, and possibly the only place offering Haitian food.

The food here is absolutely DELICIOUS! It's cooked daily so It's ALWAYS hot & fresh!! You can order anything from curry chicken, fish, oxtails, griot (pork), and much more. They have 2 types of rice but the black rice is my favorite. If you're a spicy eater then the PIKLIZ is a must have to put on top of your food (they automatically put it in your order. It's the pink looking coleslaw... thank me later) What I love the most about this second location is that the dinning room is very SPACIOUS so me and my co-workers get to sit down and enjoy our lunch break in a laid back restaurant setting. P.S. we usually call in our orders when we're about to leave the office so it'll be ready by time we get there. They also send a text message when your food is ready. I use the Lake Bradford location because it's closer to my house but this new Apalachee location is closer to my job and I absolutely love it.
