Homestyle Haitian grub, breakfast, and top-notch fried chicken
"There’s really no need to look at the menu when you walk into the casual Pack Supermarket. You’re here for fried chicken. The fried chicken (or poul frit) here isn’t as heavy on the breading as other versions and only gets a dusting of cornstarch for crispiness. It’s still juicy, well-seasoned, and an exceptional deal, because you can get ten drumsticks—plus a side of rice and beans and pikliz—for less than $15. There are a few tables inside, but most folks do takeout here." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, carlos c olaechea
"Pack does make very good Haitian staples, but you’re coming to this casual restaurant for some of Miami’s best Haitian fried chicken. The juicy drumsticks—the only part of the bird they serve—are fried just enough to produce a crispy skin, but aren’t so heavily breaded that you can’t taste the well-seasoned meat in each bite. It’s an exceptional deal, because you can get three drumsticks—plus a side of rice and beans and pikliz—for under $10. And while they have a fried chicken takeout window, you can also go inside and order at the counter while enjoying the wonders of air conditioning." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"Fried chicken aficionados know to head to this Little Haiti supermarket for one of the city’s top renditions. The chicken is crispy, seasoned on the outside, and tender and moist inside — combo meals that include plantains, rice, beans, salad, and picklez (Haitian pickled vegetables) are under $10. Cash only." - Eater Staff
"There’s really no need to look at the menu when you walk into the casual Pack Supermarket. You’re here for fried chicken. Haitian-style fried chicken (or poul frit) isn’t as heavy on the breading as other versions and only gets a dusting of cornstarch for crispiness. And Pack makes our favorite version in Miami. It’s still juicy, well-seasoned, and an exceptional deal, because you can get three drumsticks—plus a side of rice and beans and pikliz—for about $10. There are a few tables inside, but most folks take their food to go." - ryan pfeffer
"The Meal: Poul Frit, Rice & Beans, Plantains, & Pikliz, $14 Not only does Little Haiti’s Pack Supermarket serve some of the best Haitian fried chicken in Miami—but you can get ten drumsticks of that chicken plus rice and beans, plantains, and pikliz for $14. They also have a cheaper lunch special with three drumsticks, in case you’re not trying to take down all that chicken by yourself. There are some tables inside the casual cafeteria, but this is mostly a to-go operation." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
