Not the best. They didn't have at least 2 of the menu items, but weren't informed of that until someone had already tried ordering them. And it was the same person! Rude on the waitress's part. The food was only okay, and took a LONG time to get to the table. The building was in horrible shape. Not clean. Overall, not a great experience. read more

I absolutely love Haitian food and was super excited that I was able to go here when I was in St. Louis. I will definitely go back next time. I'm in St. Louis. I was a little sad that they didn't have any pickles the day that I was there. However, the food was delicious and the other items on my plate were very fulfilling. I also bought a few patties to take home with me as well. Can't wait to try other items on the menu. The service was good and everybody was very friendly. The inside of the shop is cool cause it has Haitian decor. They do not have a parking lot, but there is free street parking. Depending upon the day, you may have to park away away and walk to it. read more

Finally got to try My Marie Restaurant after it was recommended by another Yelper, and I'm so glad I did! Parking was manageable, and the entrance was bright and easy to spot. The space itself has limited seating, so it's better suited for smaller groups or takeout, but it definitely has a cozy and welcoming vibe. The staff were polite, helpful, and offered great menu recommendations, which I really appreciated as a first-timer. I originally wanted the beef riblets, but the menu has been updated (photo included), so I went with the jerk chicken (leg quarters), whole red snapper, beef patty, collard greens, cornbread, fried green plantains, and red beans and rice. They were out of mac and cheese, but honestly, everything I did get was fantastic. The flavors were authentic, rich, and perfectly seasoned. The snapper in particular was a standout, tender and savory with that true Caribbean flavor you hope for. I also tried the rum punch, which leaned more on the sweet and fruity side and could've used a little more kick to match the traditional island style, but it was still refreshing. Overall, My Marie is a gem if you're craving authentic Haitian or Caribbean food or want to switch things up from your usual spots. Great for a casual date night or a solo comfort-food fix. I'll definitely be back to try the dishes I missed! read more

Truly one of my favorite places to eat in St. Louis! So flavorful, a great value, and largely a hidden gem on Cherokee Street. When I go, I often order two meals: one to eat there and one to have for leftovers during the week. My favorite is the coconut chicken curry with sides of sweet plantains and collard greens. My friend also likes the oxtail a lot. I also recommend ordering online if you want a comforting meal to go and support an incredible little restaurant in St. Louis. The environment is a casual, hole-in-the-wall place that will make you fall in love with Haitian food. The staff is super kind and provides great service to all who enter their restaurant. read more

If you're looking for some seriously satisfying Creole comfort food, My Marie on Cherokee Street is the spot. I got the Creole shrimp with peas and rice plus a side of mac and cheese, and let me tell you, I left full and very happy. The Creole shrimp had the perfect amount of kick, packing in those spicy flavors without overpowering everything. The mac and cheese was creamy, rich, and exactly what I wanted on the side. And shoutout to my foodie friend for letting me snag a fish taco which was crispy, perfect with the coleslaw, and absolutely delicious. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to. read more

A good comfort food restaurant. Home cooking taste and feel, a family feeling. I like going here. Haitian food that isn't too hot suits me great. The service was good, but my waitress had limited English, so we had to a bit more discussion on the menu items. I recommend. Parking is street parking, so be aware that it may be more difficult to find a place on the street if there is snow or ice. read more

Get the seafood gumbo!!!I also enjoyed a side of Delicious fried ripe plantains (aka maduros in Spanish speaking countries). Both were soooo good. The complexity of flavor was breathtaking, I was not expecting so much seafood but also chicken and sausage. There really is no way to describe it outside of you just going there to get a bowl. Plantains were perfect, large cut and fried so they were the perfect consistency inside, melt in your mouth, but not at all oily. The attention to detail at this restaurant is much appreciated by me, I know it's been hard on restaurants with the pandemic and I've been having some disappointing interactions with restaurants lately, My Marie will be a go to from now on! read more

We're so happy to have a Haitian restaurant in town! And the food is delicious!! We were enjoying everything so much that I forgot to take pictures of our appetizers. We came in on a Saturday night. They were out of a couple of things, but it was the end of their day and was understandable. Alternate suggestions were made, and I ended up with a surprisingly delicious alternative to what I had planned to have. I ordered the marinade for an appetizer and two beef patties. The patties were some of the best I've had. I'd come back just for these. For my main meal, I ended up getting the beef riblets with jerk sauce on them. Oh. My. Word. The beef was so tender, and the sauce was delicious. I had plantains (green) and rice and peas for my sides. Their rice and peas was also so good! Also ordered at the table: jerk chicken, fried pork, beef stew, and legims. Everyone was pleased with their food and most of our group ordered the rice with black bean sauce and plantains (sweet) and loved them. The service was great, and we look forward to going back. read more

My husband had been raving about this place forever, so I finally came in with him to give it a try. And I must say the food was delicious. It's a Jamaican spot with your typical Jamaican style foods. The service was OK; they look/seemed family owned. The restaurant is not very big, not good for large groups but there's always the to go option! We ordered the curry chicken, rice and peas and cabbage. All items were yummy. read more

The food was great!!! If you're looking for amazing soul food, this is the spot! From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious--perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection, and full of authentic flavor. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy, the mac and cheese was rich and creamy, and the collard greens tasted just like home. On top of the incredible food, the service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. If you love real, homemade soul food, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Wow! One of the best meals I've had in St Louis. It took a while to get our food but it was well worth it. The goat was tender and so flavorful. Everything had amazing texture. The rice was perfectly cooked and the plantains were nice and crispy. The inside of the restaurant was homey and cozy. The chef was very nice and very proud of her food! If I lived closer I'd be here 3x a week at least! read more

Service was great, we ordered at the counter then found a seat, and they immediately brought out waters. The food was so good! We had the jerk chicken and the pork, both were amazing. I'm a softy for anything pork belly, and every bite had perfect meat and fat balance. We also tried all of the sides, and I loved them all! Collard greens were great, the Mac and cheese was very typical but cheese and delicious, and the sweet potatoes were a great contrast to everything. Would highly recommend! And they have an outside patio for when the weather is nice! Next time, I want to try the empanadas I saw as we walked out! So glad I found this place! read more

Being in the midst of a novel series based in the Caribbean which chats about the amazing food, I had to stop for a taste of Marie's Jerk Chicken. OMG! Good. Nice balance of heat and spice. The Red Beans and Rice are super tasty too. Since the plate came with two sides, I ordered the Steamed Cabbage. I thought, "I'll give the veggie a try". I highly recommend the cabbage. So excited for Marie and her new Cherokee Street venture. I'll be back for sure. Can't wait to try her other Caribbean delights. read more

Tried this small woman owned business for a late 2pm lunch on a Sunday. We were the only diners; a table was leaving when we came in. Some to-go orders were picked up, then a couple of guys sat to order. Ordered Caribbean coconut curry (with chicken, potatoes, bell peppers) with side of rice & beans and sweet plantains. Hubby got Seafood gumbo which was served with white rice. Son got jerk chicken with sweet plantains and mac & cheese. All was delicious, large portions and a good value. Chef Marie came out to check on us during out meal and chatted with hubby as he paid the bill. We'll return to try other dishes. read more

A friend and I decided to try this place yesterday. This is a Hatian/Caribbean restaurant that has been on my bucket list of restaurants to try. I ordered the oxtail and chose cabbage and red beans and rice for my sides My friend had the jerk chicken with cabbage and rice and peas for her sides! Of course we traded out food. Let me tell you.... The red beans and rice....delicious!! The oxtails....chef's !!! The rice and peas (with the oxtail gravy/juice mixed in) chef's !!!!! The cabbage....chef's !!!!! Are you getting the hint? RUN to this place and try it out!! The jerk chicken was good as well!! We also ordered peach cobbler for dessert.....goodT!!!!!! Don't cheat yourself...treat yourself to some delicious food!!!! read more

Sooooooooo I brought in my coworkers for lunch, I picked this location because it was Caribbean food and I love Caribbean food and I saw it had seafood options due to me currently not eating meat at this time. But of course the items that I wanted weren't available no seafood gumbo, the fish was Swai (not real fish) and they wouldn't budge on any alternative options. So instead of eating I just watched others eat. Yep I'm pissed and will never come back !!! I just can't understand the lack of good quality customer service !! read more

Great food and hearty portions. Ordered coconut curry chicken with sweet fried plantains and red beans & rice for one platter, and jerk chicken with mac & cheese and collard greens for the other. Each item had a savory blend of spices (less the sweet plantain of course). Jerk chicken had a light smokiness to meld with the seasoning and was fall off the bone tender. Red beans & rice was in a rich sauce that rivaled a main course. Coconut curry with chicken is a must try. read more

Straight to garbage. Actually looks appetizing but the toughest, tasteless oxtails ever. Again, TOUGH. Ate the Mac and cheese just because I was hungry and it was the only edible part of meal. Red beans and rice, or what they pass for red beans and rice, went straight to garbage too after one spoonful. read more

My Marie is a hidden gem! I've tried the Naked Fried Chicken, Chicken Curry and Gumbo. All were excellent, flavorful, large portions, a good value and worth returning for. As tasty as the main entrees are the SIDES are incredible. Marie's greens GIVE ME LIFE! The Mac and cheese is creamy and decadent, the plantains both sweet and green are wonderful. I never remember to take a pic when I'm in because I can't wait to dig into my lunch, but next time I'm in, I certainly will. The selection of soda is kind of limited, but hopefully will grow as the restaurant is more established. Give it a try! read more

I was going to write this earlier but Deborah A. stepped in and did an awesome review. So I'll just say, SHE'S CORRECT!! I got a to go order last evening. When I placed my order I stated it would be about 20 minutes until I arrived. When I did arrive, I was greeted with a welcoming smile from Ms. Marie the owner and everything was still piping hot and fresh. I got the Red Snapper which was crispy on the outside but tender on the inside, just perfect. And BEEF RIBS, something that is not that easy to find in Saint Louis. I would think being we have 1.5 million BBQ's in this town you would easily find beef ribs, but unfortunately not. These were tender with a nice crust on the outside, just delicious. Also the cabbage, Mac and cheese ,dirty rice and beans and collard greens, just like being in my family's kitchen. It really does take about 25 minutes for me to get there but it is worth every mile. Even at these gas prices!! read more
