Review Summary

Maman Jeanne is widely regarded as a hidden gem offering generous portions of flavorful and authentic Haitian and African cuisine. Many patrons highlight the exceptional customer service, noting that the staff is warm, hospitable, and frequently goes above and beyond to make diners feel welcome. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive regarding dishes like the griot, goat, plantain, and beignets, some mixed reviews exist concerning the consistency of the rice and the seasoning levels of specific meals. Overall, the cozy and tidy atmosphere combined with a strong sense of community makes it a highly recommended spot for those seeking home-cooked, reasonably priced meals.

I got a griot with riz collé for takeout. The lady behind the counter was super friendly. She gave me a free beignet while I waited. The beignet was delicious. Not too sweet & not oily. The griot, however, was a real disappointment. The rice was dry & clumpy, as though it was day old leftovers. The pork was also dry, & the sauce was very thin/water. The whole plate was under seasoned. The kind service & delicious beignet are what saved this review from being 1 star.
