I stopped by Taste of 509 for the first time and honestly glad I did. I got the chicken with black rice and a smoothis and both were so excellent. The food was so delicious and everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. You can tell the food is kot rushed and made with care. The restaurant itself is very clean and has a nice island feel to it, a nice vibe and energy. The service was smooth. The smoothie OMG it was thick, fresh definitely felt homemade. Overall it was a great experience. It's nice to have a spot like this in the area. I will definitely come back!
White boy who likes his fair share Caribbean here. This place is phenomenal. Freshness, quality, spices, portion, service, unreal. The black rice withe their homemade sauce is something I’ve been missing in my life.
I came here with my friend I got the DJON JON rice with chicken it was really good especially with the chicken sauce they give. I wish they gave more sauce with it but it’s really delicious food this is my first time trying Haitian food it was delicious
Delicios goat with black rice! The accra - shredded fried yuca was like a spicy croquetta! Fresh lemon juice was like being in Colombia. Chef’s kiss!! Yummy

Food amazing , customer service amazing, cleanliness amazing , did i mention food amazing? 😛😛😛😛 100% you won’t regret it 👍🏿😎
This restaurant is amazing. Their food is fresh. The service is impeccable. They are friendly and down to earth. The atmosphere in the restaurant brings me back to the Caribbean. I have been waiting for a Haitian restaurant to open near me and they nailed it. Thank you so much for everything!
Soooo good! I was visiting CT and came across this place; it’s definitely on my Must Have list whenever I’m in town! I went twice before I left lol. The kabrit was delicious and tender.
First time my family and I tried Haitian food, and it was very delicious! Only complaint is I wish the portion sizes were a bit more! I Had bought a medium chicken and it literally was a wing and a drum with most of the meat gone, felt like a tease cause the flavor and chicken was so good, but just wasn’t enough. The staff was very friendly and welcoming!
The food is very good and tasty. I had the chicken and it is to die for. The staff very pleasant and kind. You need to try it.
Absolutely amazing food! Taste of 509 brings real Haitian flavor you can’t find anywhere else. The fritay, rice and beans, and chicken are seasoned perfectly and cooked with love. The staff treats you like family, and the vibe is welcoming for everyone. If you want something fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable, this is the place to go!
I had to step out of my comfort zone, I will admit I was a little nervous but I was dying to try something more international and let me say I’m glad I did. Job well done, service well done, and the Griots was very well done. #Place2Be
Taste of 509 is truly a gem! Oliver puts so much care and passion into the food, and you can taste it in every bite. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service makes you feel like family. Everything I tried was full of flavor, fresh, and cooked to perfection. If you’re looking for a place that combines great food with genuine hospitality, this is it. Can’t wait to come back!
The food is really good — I’d give it a 10/10 for flavor and presentation however they charge a bit too much for the portion size and my legume plate didn’t include any meat even though it was $25 I think the quality is great but the pricing and portions could definitely be improved ☺️ I paid $10 for a pâté, but it wasn’t cooked properly and they added way too much pikliz for no reason. Really disappointed 😡
The food was really good, but I ordered a large and what I received definitely wasn’t that! I only got like 5 pieces of pork…. If that’s a large I wonder what the small looks like😣 That plate definitely wasn’t worth $31 more like $15
