Caribbean Grill

Review Summary

Overall, Tassot Créole garners a mix of praise and critique, with many diners calling it a worthwhile Haitian option featuring good cooking, substantial portions, quick service, and reasonable prices, and describing dishes like griot with rice and fried plantains as high quality. Some reviewers say the chicken can be bland and not well seasoned or marinated, and that the meats seem prepared to appeal to local tastes rather than staying authentically Haitian. Others point to the takeout style in the dining room and a lunch special that feels misleading. On the positive side, the food is often described as flavorful with straightforward preparation, portions that satisfy, and service that is fast, friendly, and attentive, contributing to a memorable Creole experience. Price increases are noted by some as making the experience feel a bit ridiculous or not as good value as before.View restaurant profile
