If you're craving tropical cuisine tonight, look no further than Le Fils à Maman. With dishes like griot, fritay, and tasso, you'll wonder what took you so long to eat from Le Fils à Maman before.
Reviews describe Le Fils à Maman as a comforting Haitian style spot with a homey mom and pop vibe where griot with rice and pikliz hits a perfect salty and tangy balance and the rice earns frequent praise. The mac and cheese and plantain dishes are hailed as standout favorites, and the smash burger and even pizza have drawn enthusiastic notes, all served by an owner who is consistently friendly and generous and helps create a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere. Generous portions and affordable prices are repeatedly mentioned, making it easy to justify a repeat visit for griot and other staples. Some diners note small inconsistencies such as too much rice or not enough meat, sometimes a bland sauce, or missing plantain or salad in certain orders, but these are outweighed by the overall impression of a hidden gem offering authentic Caribbean comfort food. Delivery is available and many reviewers say it’s worth the trip or a quick stop to grab a hearty, comforting meal.
For an unassuming hole in the wall, Le Fils à Maman offers a homey atmosphere of a classic mom & pop shop, & the food is to die for. The Griot was the perfect mix of salty & tangy, & the rice was phenomenal! The owner is also beyond kind & generous & a good company when it's not busy, spent 2 hours chatting with the owner & had a blast.
Please check out this place if you need a taste of Haitian food.
Très bon restaurant c'est le meilleur que, j'ai été & mangé surtout le Griot & le Mac & Cheese lâchez pas vôtre bon service c'est vraiment impeccable, je le recommande fortement !
Ordered the griot mac & cheese from uber eats, it's EXTREMELY SALTY couldn't eat it not worth the price its looks like a frozen mac & cheese with griot on top really did not meet expections no cheese topped either & doesn't look at ALL like the picture shown on uber eats for the mac & cheese. Definitely won't be ordering again.
La nourriture est vraiment bonne de ce que moi j'ai commandé griot, poulet(bien croustillant & tendre a l'intérieur), riz collé & riz djondjon le service & l'accueille 10/10. Je commande de temps en temps & c'est toujours bon

J'avais une bonne envie de griot & j'ai commander par Uber. J'ai eu aucun mal avec la réception de mon plat le tout été délicieux & chaud ! Portion bien généreuse comme je les aime. Je recommande c'est hyper bon ❤?
Belle découverte. J'ai eu deux plats de griot commandé avec l'application To Good To Go. C'était savoureux! Le riz était très bien assaisonné quoi qu'un peu sec, mais avec la sauce c'était parfait! Les portions étaient très généreuses. Je n'hésiterai pas à commandé de nouveau.

Le meilleur resto créole que je connais , j'y suis allez une 12e de fois déjà , c'est comme quand c'est fait a la maison . Surtout le griot les bananes plantain & le riz est excellent . (& l'option d'avoir le griot sans gras 👌merci )
We just ordered on ubereats & we were so excited to get our food until we had the first bite. The griot is dry, the peas in the rice undercooked, the macaroni has an odd aftertaste & I even found a hair on the plantain. First & last time ordering from here
I decided to order griot on UE tonight & this restaurant was the first to pop up when searching for griot. I'm glad I ordered, it's exactly what I wanted!
the food is great, problem is, i don't have a car & sometime i crave for a griot but they don't have delivery since almost a year because they don't find anyone supposedly, which is fine. they also have skipthedished & uber but since almost a year as well they never confirm the order because they say their tablet doesn't work well.... i mean its been a year common now.
