Chez Madame Johns Restaurant

I have been eating Marie’s Griot since 1977-78 when she was cooking out of her house and my brother and I would play with her kids. BEST GRIOT IN MIAMI PERIOD! Excellent food! Don’t bother projecting your privilege by expecting to get your a** kissed here. Come here for quality authentic Haitian food in generous portions. Anything else , go somewhere else and stop leaving bad reviews based on your expectations from other types of restaurants. Madame John’s griot is the reason we drive all the way from South Dade, and have NEVER found better griot anywhere else in Miami.

Every time I visit Miami I stop by this authentic Haitian restaurant and get my fix. The food is incredible and I usually order the fried goat. Only down side is that the menu is in kreyol and unless you know what you want in advance and in Kreyol it makes it hard to order if you don’t know what to order. The staff is not bilingual and only speak Kreyol. The food is made to order so there is always a long wait which is worth it but don’t stop by here if you’re in a rush. This is also a cash only place.

We were apprehensive about ordering here due to the reviews. I’m glad we took the chance and experienced for ourselves. The food was very good. I ordered beforehand to minimize the wait time. Ample food was provided for $15. Both the hubby and I ate from one plate. In addition to bannan, the plate included patâte. Overall good experience. Will be back.

The food is constantly fresh and flavorful, cashiers hands over fantastic service. I like how clean it is and vibes. Would recommend to others.
