Gregs Cookout

I had wanted a good Haitian meal before I even visited Miami. On my last day, I was determined to go. I turned to Google Maps to help. I was quite surprised at how many there were. I chose Gregg's based on the price range, the convince to my hotel, and I saw turkey on the menu. I need to visit Miami again to try a different one. Maybe I got there too late. They were closing 45 minutes after I got there. My turkey was old and dry, the service was tired, and there's nothing worse than the employees sweeping the floor while I'm eating. Maybe if I revisit, I will get there early, and the dish will be fresh, or maybe I would try something altogether different. They definitely had good business and people coming, and the portions were good. I just was not happy 😔

Decent place food was decent. Wish they had Mac n cheese. The rice could use some salt but overall everything was good. The fried food wasn't fried hard and the meat and legume very flavorful.

I watched a review from a TikTok food reviewer and I was like I have to check this place out for myself. I want to start by saying the waiter was a sweetheart. I didn’t get her name but she was so nice. The ambience is chill. It gives a mixture of lounge and restaurant but very homey. I ordered the Haitian limonade so good. You can taste the lime in it. To eat we ordered the spicy balls w/ plantains and we also had the Tasso Turkey w/ rice and red beans. Sooo delicious. Check them out you won’t be disappointed.

The legume was probably the best legume I ever had besides from my mom. Lots of beef in it which I appreciate. The rice was cooked to perfection and the beans were flavorful. The Cajun shrimp pasta had an interesting taste. But in a good way. The shrimp was burnt black on one side and only 5 shrimps. If the shrimp wasn’t overcooked I would’ve gave it 5 stars!

Iove that they are on Ubereats The food still arrived fresh and hot Prices were decent The griot was tasty and seasoned. I know Haitians usually don’t care about what pieces they give so you might end up with a lot of fatty pieces but in this case it was a good mix. The fried plaintains were ok..I prefer them crispier but the ones my sister had were flatter and crispier than mine. The diri djon djon was ok. I’ve had better but it wasn’t something that I wouldn’t get again. The macaroni tasted authentic. I did enjoy it The spicy bites or the boulet was too dry for my liking so we didn’t finish them. That was a disappointment. And the Passionfruit juice was not what I was expecting. I’ve had plenty of Passionfruit juice but this one missed the mark so I did not drink it

I hate to downgrade my people, but I dropped a star for the food because the portions for the fried pork are the least generous I've ever had at a Haitian restaurant. To take up a spot in the container for just the sauce when it could've been used for more food isn't what most restaurants do. As for the food itself, the rice was on the dry side and the fried pork too. I thinking maybe they made the batch a few hours before I picked it up so it wasn't too fresh. I rate all Haitian restaurants by how well they do griot so unfortunately I rate Greg's average at best and the small portions put it beneath all other restaurants I've eaten at in South Florida. Hopefully they increase the portions going forward if they see this review since I want all my people's restaurants to succeed and do well.

Sorry I forgot to take a picture before eating 😔. This was my first time eating at this restaurant. I found it on Uber Eats. I ordered A side of white rice, the fried pork with black rice entrée, as well as the fried red snapper try, which macaroni, fried plantain, cajun shrimp, red beans, and rice. My food was properly packed and well secured to prevent the possibility of food tampering, during the delivery process. The food was tasty with the exceptions of the following: the fish lacked in salt, the red beans and rice was dry. Lastly, for the amount of money I paid ($113.80) the portion size was small. Despite of the few mishaps, I would definitely order from this place again.

On our layover in Miami, I decided to try a new Haitian restaurant and it did not disappoint at all. We had Griot, oxtail and shrimp. Presentation was great and food was flavorful

Update: Not sure if they changed cooks, but I recently ordered stewed chicken takeout and the chicken drumsticks were so dry, stringy, and looked old. The stew/gravy was also a grey-ish brown color instead of the vibrant reddish-orange that I am so familiar with. Quality seems to have gone down.

If you have never tried haitian food, please change your life and come here. One of the things to do in Miami for me was eat the haitian food and it didn't disappoint. My friend and I ordered to go. She ordered the shrimp and salmon platter with black rice, and I ordered the stewed conch with black rice. I felt like I was eating food made by someone's haitian grandma. I'm haitian so I know how to tell apart great haitian food from bad haitian food. This stuff was great! Lol. The conch was so good. It was spicy, saucy, and flavorful. The black rice was on point, and the fried plantains were nice and crispy. The maccaroni was just chef's kiss. The salmon was a touch dry, but I think it's party dude to the fact we were late picking up the food, so it wasn't as fresh. The service wasn't bad at all. The guy in there was nice and accommodating. My friend was asking questions, and he was kindly answering and telling her about haitian culture. The interior definitely gives haitian vibes, but I do feel like it's more of a takeout spot than a sit-down place. For both the salmon and shrimp platter as well as the conch platter, we spent $65. It's pricey but soooooo worth it.

While visiting Miami my husband and I decided to try Haitian food for the first time. So we look up restaurant near us and found this place. Let me start off by saying a cute little restaurant in downtown by the medical center. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to try the ox tails but they were out. So I settled for the turkey stew and it was delicious. The meat was tender and that black rice OMG!!!!! I can eat that all day by itself. The macaroni was also good which was surprising because I had other Caribbean macaroni and it's not good. The fried chicken was good also. The cashier was nice and was very patient with me explaining what some of the dishes were I recommended this little gem.

Iove that they are on Ubereats The food still arrived fresh and hot Prices were decent The griot was tasty and seasoned. I know Haitians usually don't care about what pieces they give so you might end up with a lot of fatty pieces but in this case it was a good mix.

Absolutely delicious meal - the Griot Complete is super filling and is a portion, honestly, large enough to feed two. The stew, per my friend that ordered it, was just as good if not better. Very quick service, and great casual environment for a good lunch. Definitely coming back soon!

I'm visiting Miami and my husband is Haitian so we were on the hunt for good Haitian food. I found Greg's Cookout and it did not disappoint! The food was so good and flavorful! The shrimp was seasoned well with a little kick but not spicy. The black rice was delicious! The macaroni was very creamy and cheesy. The legumes was so good, the beef in it was tender. We also tried the beef meatballs and that was the star of the show! They were packed with flavor. Overall, great authentic Haitian food 10/10, the food was made with love and it showed.

You would never expect food this good in a cafeteria tucked away in a hospital complex. It's worth every penny. Shrimp were very fresh

When they first opened the food was cooked fresh, service was slow but they just opened so that was expected. The food made up for the time it took...that was a year ago. Since then the food is hit or miss and the service hasn't gotten any better. Why wait an 45min to get a lukewarm plate of food? I see they've opened up a new location. Perhaps it's stretched them a little too thin. Whatever it is I hope they get back to what they used to be when they first opened.

Multiple place here. Love atmosphere and the folks, assume are the owners always see them very nice. I love the flavors i inly woshbit had more choices for vegetarians

Amazing and fresh Haitian food! My Haitian boyfriend said it was the best legume he had ever had. The stew Turkey was also great. Service: Delivery was fast and correct.

Stumble upon this place while taking a class by UM hospital. Man I wish I lived closer. I love a good Haitian restaurant & they accept cards ( joking) The food was so good & I am going back tomorrow & will come back whenever I'm in town.

I'm Haitian and very particular about my Haitian food. I find that many Haitian restaurants miss the mark, but not this one. It's one of the best authentic Haitian spots I've found. I love their mushroom rice. Every Thursday I order the lalo special. It is the bomb. Hard to find good lalo unless my mom makes it but this one is super close. I've only ordered for pickup and the service over the phone and when I arrive is always top notch. I highly recommend this spot to anyone for amazing authentic Haitian cuisine.

As a 1st generation Haitian American, this restaurant had the most authentic and great tasting Haitian food I've experienced outside of my mothers cooking. I had brought my wife and she absolutely loved it. I had the goat griot with rice and friend plantains and my wife had the Cajun Shrimp Pasta. She liked the food so much she ordered more to go. The service was amazing. Even though they were busy with a lot of orders, they did a great job of being attentive to all the customers. They gave attention to the ones dining in and the ones calling in to place an order. The ambiance is very relaxed and bright. The restaurant has big windows and outside dining so it was lively. 10/10 spot. If I lived here it would be my go to restaurant.

Food was amazing, everything we tried was full of flavor. Chicken Alfredo was really good, the kids loved it. My wife and I tried the Red snapper and shrimp... Amazing! The sides were also great, red bean rice and the Mac & cheese was fire! Definitely worth the 5 stars for the food.

Wow just wow. This place is incredible. I ordered the mango habanero wings and they are the best wings I have tried in south Florida. I also got the rice and beans and grilled shrimp and this was incredible as well. Logistically there are tips of street parking spots (during the weekend) and the entrance is on the side by the subway.

It's a hit or miss with this place sometimes you order and they act as if they are happy to serve you then there are times when they act as if you need me I have tried them a couple of times and I'm not gonna patronize them ever again the last straw was when a kid took my order and didn't know how to great the customer or even take my order properly the guy in the back yelling at him in creole instead of assisting him with my order never mind I'll eat someplace else

This is my second time at Greg's each time my meal is always on point. The service, the staff and food are Top-Notch. I would highly recommend this place the food is seasoned to taste, no extra seasoning needed.

The food is fantastic. Freshly prepared once order is placed. It does take some time, but it's well worth it, especially having freshly prepared food that isn't just sitting there all day, what Miami needed.

This place is a gem place, I purchase a griot plate . It was amazing I enjoy the food will be back soon.

Griot dinner was good but the oxtail was beyond a ripoff. It was four tiny pieces of oxtail for like $25. Oxtail is usually pricy but I've never seen such a small portion. All the Caribbean places in Miami charge about the same but give you considerably larger portions. I wish I had taken a picture to post.

Food so damn good Amazing customer service everyone is nice over there. Definitely recommend this place

Once the Miami foodies discover this joint, the reservation is gonna go 3 to 4 weeks out. Since it quietly opened in April, I had walk past this place to and from work nearly every day, but somehow it never occurred to me to try it until I saw it on Ubereats. I figure I will order food from there and then just bring it home for dinner. Wow wow wow, boy it was delicious! I tried the goat stew, which was pretty much the epitome of Caribbean meat stew, with a mix of spice, savory and exotic flavors. The pork my partner ordered was magically, perfectly seasoned and extremely soft, and the accompanying rice (both the dark and brown) were pretty much entrées onto themselves. And the servings were huge! Unstopping mouth-gasms. This is the kind of place I wish they have more of in Brickell and Wynwood, and who knew it was just tucked away in a quiet medical school campus. This joint is a destination itself.

This is a local gem. This is my home away from home. Whenever Im in the mood for good Haitian food, I just order from Gregs. Good customer service, food is always point. You should try the Tasso Kabrit-Fried Goat- very tender and delicious.

Authentic haitian food! The food is flavored so well!Wonderful customer service! They always have black rice with the real taste not the fake one with black Maggie! Will definitely recommend! I have been back plenty time!!!

The food here was sooo good I have been at least 3x already.. it's the whole fried snapper for me.. don't go here dressed like you going to a 5star restaurant although I have it five stars .. casual dine in experience but food is good.. price the price of going outside these days lol.. either you in the house or you outside ‍.. but it's worth it check it out

My first time having Haitian food and This food is delicious! Everything we had was. Id recommend. Expect a wait because everything is made from scratch

Loved the grilled shrimp. The shrimps were juicy, savory and giant. Their rice and red beans and plantain is also perfect. Soooo glad I found this place. Food around this area tends to be bland.

I'm so glad we kept walking when our gps didn't take us directly to the restaurant (gps took us to the front of the building by a private medical center, the restaurant is actually at the back of the building. We ordered the stewed oxtail and 10 wings with mango habanero sauce. The oxtail prepared perfectly just like I had it when I was in St Maarten. The meat was tender and bone marrow gelatinous. The wings were saucy yet crispy, and the sauce was a perfect mix of sweet and spicy. My husband also ordered a watermelon soda, we've never seen it before, but it was delicious and now we're going to have to try to find it online to order for home. The service was fast and the gentleman that took our order was very kind and helpful. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I definitely recommend Greg's, I only wish I had more time in Miami, because I'd love to try some of their other menu offerings.

Great establishment! The food was Crazyyy good. They make it fresh per order. You get A LOT of Food! great staff, clean establishment. Felt like home.

I've been following them on IG since they opened and finally decided to try them. I went with the basic of legume with white rice and bean sauce. The legume was salty and the bean sauce was more like bean soup.

so I decided to grab lunch from Greg's cookout one afternoon with a friend that I was catching up with, I arrived before my friend, so because I know I don't eat much & we had to return to work, i ordered our food to go... I easily spent over $50 on our food, so I'm sitting waiting for my friend to arrive and as they arrive my ordered is called simultaneously as "they" walked in, so I signal for "they" to grab the food and when "they" grabbed the food and proceeded to come towards me the lady at the counter with the "jaws" proceeds to tell him that we can't eat THEIR food inside THEIR empty restaurant, we'd have to leave bc it's in THEIR to go box! we literally had to dump our food on a plate as she stood over us, just To scrape it back up to take it to go?!? it's the most insane policy especially being in business in this area .... although my mushroom rice was spongy this particular day, the turkey was fire! So good luck...

I wish I had the option to give them 0 star. The food was ok but the service was garbage (word of advice)TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE
