This is one of the best restaurants at the moment. This small place has 8 tables where you can sit after you order food at the counter. The menu is very clear, and the options are fantastic. It is the first "mainstream" Haitian restaurant I have ever been to, and I like the use of a good, detailed menu. Also, the graphics make everything more friendly, I definitely would say that this is a copy of a Chinese takeout but with Haitian offering. I got the pork chunks with rice and fried tostones, it was all very good and generous. The sauce was tasty and the pikliz was on point, although I would have like a bit more heat on it. Overall, very fresh and tasty good, I highly recommend this place to newbies. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Cecibon Restaurant - Haitian Near Me - Miami, Florida

See all

Found Cecibon during a recent trip to Miami, thanks to Yelp! This is my first time having Haitian food and this restaurant set a very high bar!! We ordered griot (fried pork) and boulette (Cajun meatballs) dinner plates. Both came with rice (today was red beans and rice), plantain, and pikliz. The flavors were perfect, the rice was very flavorful, the griot was fried perfectly, and the pikliz had a nice spice level. We also ordered their juices - fruit punch and passion fruit - both were good. This restaurant is located in a small complex near a BP gas station and barber shop. There is limited indoor seating but we arrived at 11;30 so only one table was occupied. Most customers took their orders to go. I will definitely come here again when I am in Miami. read more

Talk about restaurants in gas stations - this is a Haitian spot. To tell the truth we just had the fried chicken legs with plantain. So good. Made to order, hot and fresh. The chicken was nice and meaty done just right. The plantain is known elsewhere in town as tostones. They have a nice menu of lots of other dishes. There are a half dozen tables with seats if you want to eat in, no atmosphere at all, but the food is really good. read more

This was my first time trying this local Haitian spot, and it was a great experience. I called to place an order for pickup, and while they don't usually allow that due to no-shows, the phone representative made an exception for me. Their food options were somewhat limited because of high demand, but I managed to order the fried turkey (tassot) with rice, beans, and plantains. After tasting it, I went and ordered a 2nd plate. Everything was absolutely delicious! The flavors complemented each other perfectly--the turkey was cooked just how I like it, and the plantains, while not fully green, were perfectly prepared and tasted great Everything was made to order, fresh, and served hot. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to family and friends. read more

Cecibon Restaurant - Griot. 48 hr marinated and you can definitely tell. Super tasty and lots of food for the price. - Haitian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Cecibon is back!!! The food was good, it could've been better only because I felt the chicken was fried in old grease, so it didn't seem fresh. The picklees were not fresh at all. Once you open the container you could smell that it was the verge of turning sour. But I'm not knocking on the prices, we got a platter of 12 plantains and 10 wings $17.00 I believe. Cheaper than Popeyes - I think we just got an off night. I will return and try them again. read more

I walked up to the counter and was greeted by a young lady (she was new), she was very nice. Told her I wanted to order 20 pieces of fried chicken, she wasn't sure she could ring it up that way but the chef walked up and told her how. The chicken was ready in 5-10 minutes, it could have been seasoned a little bit more but I thought it was still good and it came out hot and fresh. I would got back for more for the next event I go to. It cost roughly $30 and came with pikliz (spicy pickled cabbage/carrots) read more

Cecibon Restaurant - 20 fried chicken order - Haitian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Seamless ordering & parking available - easier said than done for take out in Miami. My food took like 10 minutes maybe. Not the best griot I've had in my life but the portion was plentiful and the pikliz was piklizing if you know what I mean. $14 for lunch that I had leftover for dinner. They have a small area to sit if you want to eat in - no glitz and glamor there, but that's fine by me. read more

Cecibon Restaurant - Fried Pork (Griot) - Haitian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Im not going to lie, this use to be the spot!!! I don't know if it's just run down over the years but this is not it. The service was Ghetto and after I payed for my food that's when they told me there's no fried plantain only sweet plantain, which is the main thing I wanted. And inside the restaurant looks terrible. The one table they have that you can sit at was broken. Everything just look dirty. And please throw away the cook's apron because everything was splattered on there. I hate to leave reviews like this but they have to do better. The food taste old. I should've just left. read more

Cecibon Restaurant - Fried Chicken - Haitian Near Me - Miami, Florida

They was good. We came from NY and we're staying at a local hotel. My family Haitian so I decided to look up some Haitian spots in the area. This place had decent reviews and they was not lying. Food is good. Flavorful. Can be a little salty but id rather more flavor than none. I had the food and said nah I got to support them. It was only 2 people working in the back an elder lady and someone a bit younger. Takes a while but you won't regret it. My own mom said it was good and Haitians are the biggest critics of their own food Trust me. I don't even leave reviews like this. Enjoy read more

Food was really great! Portions were large and the food was flavorful. We got the griot with rice and peas and a side of Mac and cheese. EVERYTHING was GREAT! Highly recommend going to this restaurant. The customer service was also amazing. The guy was very pleasant in answering our questions. There was seating for eating in but we ordered to go. Love the food! read more

Food was awesome for the price. Sauce was doubled up and that's more than what I get at other restaurants. Hey no complaints. Piglet was juicy and flavorful still spicy but I loved the blend with the meat and friend plantains that were lightly salted. read more

Have you ever wondered where's the best fried chicken in Miami? Welp, I got you. This chicken is HANDS DOWN the best fried chicken and it never disappoints. If you're from Miami and know about the original Cecibon, let me tell you, it's just like what we grew up on. Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! 9.8 out of 10 read more

Waited 15 mins for fresh chicken, not a problem. However, chicken was either cooked too long or the grease was bad. It was crunchy and tasted as if the grease was burned. The rice was barely warm. Haven't had cecibon since they were across from Edison middle in the early 2000's. I picked up a passenger from there a while back and wanted to try them. I truly wasn't impressed. read more

Cecibon Restaurant - 3 Legs 3 Plantains - Haitian Near Me - Miami, Florida

My friend and I traveled to Miami to attend Afro-Nation, but knew we just had to find some good Haitian food! I have so many Haitian friends but never tried Haitian food (smh). I asked for the black rice with griot but unfortunately they were out of black rice . My friend got the red beans and rice with fried goat. When I tell y'all after the first bite we both looked at each other with tears welling up in our eyes this food was 10 out of 10!!!! The plate was reasonably priced and came with a large serving of rice, two tostones (fried plantain, but savory), pickled spicy cabbage and then our protein. Lord have mercy!!! Haitian cuisine has quickly moved to top 3 fav foods for me!! I'm definitely coming back to this place!! The restaurant is located next to a gas station and the service is mid, little to no communication from the workers haha. Your questions are met with blank stares, but anybody that knows what's up, knows that's where the best food is usually at . Please stop by this place and support them because they are serving quality dishes here!!! read more

A solid Haitian food spot. It's one of the OGs that made a comeback. The hubs grew up eating at this spot but it was at a different location. Overall I was happy with it. The grio was decent, the sauce was well done and the pikliz was also hitting! We devoured the banan (plantains). The rice wasn't too impressive to me but I'm Haitian so I'm picky about my rice. I have high standards bcuz I believe Haitian rice is the best. The service was very good and it was a cafeteria style ambiance. This is more of a takeout spot so there's Not a lot of seating room but enough. If they added some art work it would really liven up the place and make you want to dine in. I would like to try their chicken next since I heard that's what they're famous for. read more

This was a miss for me sadly today. I haven't eaten from here in years, and revelry someone bragged about the food, particularly the griot. Location is next to the gas station, have a few seats to eat. The customer service was excellent, but food was a "miss". Griot was very hard and dry with no seasoning, red bean rice was bland. Didn't meet my expectation for the "griot", but hopefully the wings are still a hit! read more

I am a proud Haitian-American. I love our culture and our food, but Cecibon Restaurant is not the place for an introduction to our cuisine. It especially hurt when I was accompanied by a non-Haitian whose experience was worse because he got sick from the akra. How embarrassing! The red flags were there, but I regrettably chose to ignore them to support my community. 1. When your name screams Haitian, but you position yourself as a Caribbean restaurant. 2. When you misspell akra on the menu. Where did that "c" come from? 3. When you only make diri djon djon (Haitian black rice) once a week. 4. When you have to keep checking inventory and I grow increasingly frustrated, ready to take my business elsewhere. I ultimately ordered a chicken combo, the poulet dinner, tassot kabrit dinner, and ackra. What happened to the traditional spices? With our return flight just hours away, we ate the food for fuel and not for its flavor. It was such a disappointment that we eventually tossed the rest. What's the point of serving food at low prices if it lacks quality? I wish Florida would adopt the letter grading system for restaurants because I would feel more at ease before I dig in with a fork. It just did not look or feel clean and we cannot forget the near slip and fall in the bathroom. Ugh! read more

Poor online customer service and no help calling the store directly. Don't get me wrong, the Haitian Food here is easily 4 or 5 star for the staples (Griot, Fried Chicken, Turkey, Stew Chicken, and their seafood), although I tried their ox-tail and was very disappointed. But the worse thing about them is their online service. They won't take orders over the phone, they're firm on that. Yet their website still shows under construction and if you want to place a Catering Order, there are no Catering options on Door Dash or Grubhub. So if you want to place a catering order for pickup, you're out of luck. So wanting to place a catering order for pickup today, I'm forced to order from another Haitian restaurant, sadly I'm out of options with CeCi Bon. They really need to fix that if they really want to grow their business. They just lost this sale (for a large Catering Order. read more

I have two other reviews to write, I'll get to it once I'm done with this specific review. Today was another after work special where I work all these hours nonstop and end up starving at the end. As I was driving up Biscayne for two seconds I decided to make a left turn on 36th St up to North Miami Ave because I had a craving for Cecibon fried chicken. If you know Cecibon from way back in the day, the 90s and early 2000s, you know their fried chicken was like crack. I didn't know what they were doing to their chicken back then but I wanted it all the time, especially when my mom was shopping at Zubi market, it was right there a block or two away. Anyway, when they shut down in the early 2000s, 06 or 07, I don't remember exactly when but I hurt they were gone. When they came back years later in 2016 I think in Miami Gardens on 2nd Ave, me and my former co-worker decided to give them a try. I was going in with high hopes only to be disappointed. The flavor of the chicken was nowhere near what it was way back in the day. I hated it, at that moment I was wondering if they were the same people. Safe to say, I never went back. I don't know if they shut down again to reopen, that's besides the point. I went today just to try them out again after so many years. Back in April, my friend, her boyfriend and I were having a discussion about good Haitian food. In the mits of the conversation he mentioned Cecibon. Months later, there I ordered the infamous fried chicken and banan peze and a side of Mac and cheese. One thing about this place, I can tell you that their lunch specials are cheap and I'm here for it, dammit! The flavor of the chicken is not the same as it was before, it was decent, good enough to eat, it's just not as spectacular as it was before. I haven't tried the Mac and cheese yet, by the looks of it, I can already tell it will be decent. The inside of the restaurant is not the best looking but it was clean from what I could see. There was loud music playing outside and that's because they were having a toy drive. Anyhoooooo, I'm talking too much, will I be back yes, to try the other food to see what they are about outside of the fried chicken. Later! P.S this is the next day, the Mac and cheese was ok, nothing to rave about, I've had better. read more

Love, Love, Love! Food was extremely fresh. The employees were extremely kind and attentive. I felt like I was part of the family. More importantly the Ambiance was heightened by the cleanliness of the establishment. This is a Miami spot you have to check out it never disappoints. Flavor, service, tradition 10's across the board! There's these Cajun meatballs you have to try. The flavor is something special and they are cooked to order. Also if you like pork try the griot and there pickles( spicy Haitian coleslaw) unmatched. I would recommend this restaurant anytime! On bidness lol! read more

Before passing me the box, she opened the lid to show me the food-- and it was like looking into a treasure chest. The plantains shimmered gold on a bed of a thousand perfect little grains of rice. The chicken showed ruffles of tenderness. I couldn't wait to bite my gold. Plantains crispy, slightly dry but nothing the pikliz couldn't fix. The red beans cooked with a lovely, peppery herb. Is it cuban oregano? All together the dish shared a savoriness that made me feel warm and nourished. A dish for a Don. read more

I discovered this place thanks to my wife's coworker who knows the place and brought her food from there. The place itself is not a fancy restaurant or anything like that. It's more like a laborer's takeout place. It also shares the space with a gas station. The food usually takes about 15 minutes to be prepared so I highly recommend you to order ahead. They don't take phone orders but you can place your orders through their website. That website is www . Cecibonrestaurant . Com. My favorite dish to order is their spicy turkey meatballs with rice and red beans. So delicious. This dish is about $13 but easily can feed two. I do not share but save the rest for next day or later that day. Lol. read more

This is my second time ordering Food there and let me tell you, first time was amazing (good food, fresh food, great portion... good service) and few months, 4 to 5 i would say, i went back there today and it is a total disaster. The fried banana tasted really bad and it felt like they were dipped in the oil on cold temperature, the rice and bean had a very bad smell like some left over for days, the stew chicken was disgusting and .... Not to mention that the fried chicken that my son ate was horrible. Once i took the smell of the rice, we threw all the food in trash. I called to let them know and that girl with braces just waited me to finish talking and said " I heard you " like i was lying. I asked to speak to a manager and she repeated her self to me with the same exact words " I heard you ". She did not even bother to apologize and made me feel like she did not care... I had to report this for everyone to know what happened and it is really bad to do this to me specially who drive 21 minutes from my house to go get that food. read more

Wouldn't recommend if it's first time trying Haitian food. Personally will never go back customer service was extremely slow, they said the food will be ready in 10 mins and I was still there 1h later. I order 2 griot with white rice after sitting there for hours i went up to ask what was taking so long that's when they bought me 2 plates with rice and red beans I took it cause I was frustrated and I didn't want to be there any longer. The griot was somewhat good and then everything else went to waste I truly don't like wasting food because I know there is people back in my country that are starving. I don't even like writing reviews but this was truly a joke to Haitian cuisine. read more

The food was really good and fresh today. The meatball was not dry , the rice and beans was delicious and the plantain was done right.

Food is always good. Love the oxtails and always fast service. I eat here every time I'm in town
