With that in mind, just note that any photos and reviews before June 2020 are not of the current ownership. This isn't the best I've had but it's certainly worth coming back. We had red snapper, black rice and plantains with a macaroni salad. The owner said they only buy a limited supply of snapper each day since he gets them fresh from the fisherman. So glad we came for lunch! It was piping hot and fresh, lightly seasoned so it was good. The plantains were prepared well and the black rice was cooked perfectly even though it could use more "black". Definitely worth a visit.

The Haitian guy at The counter was it's a part in his hair had the must disgusting attitude towards me. I wanted to throw up from just being in his presence. This guy might be the owner of the restaurant. A really disgusting person at heart. The tables are dirty and so are the counters and chairs. A mess of a place reflective of this guy at the counter. I will never go back there again. Man people are spending money with you. I guess his hatred for people is worth more than business. Very disappointed And disgusted.

They rice had been badly burned, and I could smell and taste it in the food immediately. Complete waste of money. It was disgusting. If you burn a pot of rice, throw it out and make a new pot. Don't make your customers pay for your mistakes and burnt food! I hope the next time we order, its back to their normal standards.

I squally get the fried turkey meal (comes with rice and peas and pikliz) or griot, so you can't really go wrong with either option.

Let me start by saying the service is TRASH…read more The only time you'll get any customer service is when the wife decides to be in a good mood and that's usually only around midday. Coming here for breakfast will leave you and your children's stomachs in hell. They do not answer the phone or communicate properly. Even though online it says they're "OPEN" at 9 a.m., in reality they open whenever the grandma in the back decides to take her time and finish what she's doing. My friend, her daughter, and I stood outside repeatedly knocking on the door, watching them look at us without having the decency to come and tell us they needed a few more minutes since they weren't opening on time. We couldn't even get that basic communication. It's sad to see so many Haitian businesses come to Lehigh just to FAIL over the basics. NEVER AGAIN. You're better off going home to make your own breakfast or going to Mickey D's. I'm highly disappointed.

What an amazing discovery in Lehigh Acres!…read more Walked in with zero expectation and immediately, you'll notice the fresh ocean blue ambiance. Pictures or art works are over the walls. I believe this was the former Andy's Cuban Restaurant but a new owner made an expansion and upgrade. Now it is Jacmel's Caribbean! I asked if they have Ke Bef or (Haitian Oxtails). They normally serve this daily but not today. I quickly select Kabrit (a marinated fried goat) with a salad, plantains and bean and rice. The salads are fresh. The goat meat was tasty and full of flavor. The bean and rice combination were amazing seasoned and the plantains just hit the spot. Well worth the drive just for Jacmel's Caribbean! The staff is super friendly and more than happy to answer question you have. We already plan out our next dinner selections like Groit Kochon, Ke Bef, Lumbi, and more! Give Jacmel a try, you'll love this place!

A Haitian man named and Franz takes your order and a nice Haitian lady cooks your food to order. All the food available comes in the form of a large helping of stew with rice and beans (mixed together) and fried plantains. I ordered the legume stew thinking it would be vegetarian but it turned out to have oxtail in it. Vegetarians be aware. I'm an omnivore so it was fine with me. I order the pork stew for my wife and she really enjoyed it. It came with a container of red sauce Franz described as gravy and a container of hot sauce with a little cabbage in it called Pikliz. I asked what kind of peppers were in the hot sauce and Franz said, "Oh, there are multiple kinds of peppers!" It shall remain a Haitian mystery. We ate our to-go order (there is no seating in this restaurant) at a nearby park and enjoyed it. It was far too much to consume in one sitting so we have leftovers for later! This is well off the beaten path but it's really only 5 minutes south of downtown St Petersburg. Life is good when you get to try a new kind of ethnic food! Haitian!
