My eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was nice and crisp. My guests ordered fried conch, which was golden brown and tender, but the highlight was the shrimp and waffles! It was so good, I ordered a side of shrimp to go! This is a very casual, Caribbean/soul food restaurant. The food is good and our service was excellent. Can't wait to go back!

This time, we showed up around 2pm, the oxtails were cooked- so she ordered the oxtails and grits, I ordered the shrimp and grits. Can I tell you how disappointed I was?!? This plate of shrimp and grits, the cream sauce looked like it had been reheated from frozen in the microwave. It looked a little curdled. I'm always down for an adventure- so I ate it. The taste wasn't bad, it just wasn't really good. Sad to say- it was mid at best. Plus, the shrimp still had the tails on. Imagine that! My sister said the oxtails weren't cooked enough- she had to cut the meat off the bones. Hopefully this was just a really off day. Based on my first experience, maybe I should stick to morning visits.. but I'm sure I'll return.

The flavors were really hittin--not salty but definitely not lacking in flavor and complexity. So delicious The only criticism I would have from what I ordered is that the rice was ever so slightly undercooked which made it a bit dry. Other than that, everything was great. There's not really a server--you order and they text you when it's ready. Then you come pick it up and go to your table. But the cashier lady was very nice and helped me decide what to get.

We had dinner at Manjay's Citadel location. The food was fresh, filling, and delicious, and service…read morewas good. If you're looking for something unique to try at the Citadel, Manjay is worth a shot. They serve Haitian cuisine. Portions were generous and in general, the food was kind of heavy. Many of the components I believe were made to order, so there was a short wait. Here's what my wife and I ordered: Appetizer: * Caribbean Conch Fritters ($14) - Manjay pikliz, honey mustard remoulade These were big and tasty. Six pieces, like giant hush puppies with conch inside. The plate came with pikliz in the center. Pikliz is like the Haitian version of coleslaw, made with cabbage, carrots, onions, and peppers. Manjay's version was spicy and yummy. Bowls, each with 2 sides and 1 sauce: * Honey Jerk Chicken Bowl ($18) - breaded and tossed in Manjay's homemade honey jerk sauce; with red beans rice and sweet plantains and scotch bonnet mango aioli * From Haiti with Love (Griyo) ($18) - Deep-fried Kreyol-style slow-braised pork; with banan payzay and toofay Both the chicken and pork were very good and flavorful. The pork was served bone-in. The rice and beans and sweet plantains were comforting and addictive. The scotch bonnet mango aioli was spicy. Banan payzay are Haitian pressed plantains. These were savory and starchy. The toofay ("legume") was good too. It's a hearty vegetable stew, essentially Haitian ratatouille. Our cashier was Roniqua and she was nice. During our visit, I think Manjay had the longest line (a good sign). After walking around, looking at the other food court options and seeing Manjay's high rating on Yelp, we were sold on Manjay. We dined in so we got real plates and silverware. We actually took everything up to the rooftop bar and ate up there. Our trays were bussed by the staff on the roof. Along with this location at the Citadel food court in Little River (just north of Little Haiti), Manjay has a casual strip location near the Miami airport in Doral. This Citadel location is the original; it opened in February 2019. The Doral location opened in 2024.

Neighborhood Treasure in Miami: Lemon Peppers…read more Driving up from the Keys to Miami International Airport, we decided to skip the expressway (because let's face it, great food isn't found there ) and wound our way through the neighborhoods. That's when we found Lemon Peppers--and wow, what a find! From the moment we stepped in, Dominique made the experience unforgettable. Friendly, patient, and full of great suggestions, she answered every question with a smile that never faded. Top-notch service like that deserves a round of applause (and yes, a generous tip ). We went for the Catfish & 2 Wing Special plus 4 Whole Lemon Pepper Wings . The catfish? Crispy, tender, and so flavorful it didn't even need hot sauce--though we eventually indulged just for fun. The Cajun rice was exactly how we wanted it--customized to perfection. The menu is a foodie's playground : empanadas , tostones , seafood , and all your fried favorites. And the juices? Pure nostalgia in a cup --sweet, icy, and packed with flavor. Final verdict: If you're in Miami, skip the highway and take the detour . Between the food and the service, Lemon Peppers is worth every mile. #MiamiEats #FoodieAdventure #NeighborhoodGems #LemonPeppers #CatfishGoals #WorthTheDetour

I was on my way to the grocery store for dinner. By the time everything was said and done, the grocery store was closed and I was hangry. Nothing was open, I was extremely tired and done for the day! What could I do? Go get a catfish sandwich. The AAA guy told me to not turn the car off, so I had to go through a drive thru. Drive to Lemon Peppers- THEY HAVE SOME OF EVERYTHING!!!!! I didn't know whether to get oysters, shrimp, conch?!?!?! I ended up getting a catfish sandwich and fries- the guy taking my order was super nice and welcoming. Just an overall great show of customer service- even at 11:45PM!!!!! My order with fries wasn't super expensive, and the the guy taking my order was so kinds to have me park in front (with my car running) and they brought my order out. Fuss was fried to perfection. Brad was regular. Thank God they didn't slather it with mayonnaise!!! I wasn't unhappy AT ALL! I'll go back for sure!

Walking in feels less like entering a dining room and more like stepping into your grandmas kitchen. The clatter of forks, the low hum of conversation, the unhurried hospitality it's a rhythm only established kitchens earn, a rhythm Jackson Soul Food has perfected over generations. The food arrives the way soul food should: unapologetically hearty, full of flavor, and untouched by trends. The fried whiting is a quiet masterpiece thin, impossibly crisp, and seasoned with the confidence of a kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing. The grits, creamy and barely salted, serve as a reminder that restraint is also a skill. And the biscuits? Buttery, tender, and almost spiritual when paired with a smear of house-made jam. But it's the oxtails that demand a moment of silence. Slow-braised until the meat gives in without protest, they come cloaked in a glossy gravy that tastes like hours of patience and years of practice. It is the sort of dish that reminds you why soul food endures: because it's built on discipline, memory, and love. Jackson Soul Food isn't flashy there's no neon signage or influencer-designed plating. What it offers instead is something rarer: consistency. A commitment to the dishes that built its legacy, not the ones chasing social media novelty. In a city where restaurants rise and fall with the tides, Jackson remains proudly rooted. Come hungry, come early, come with respect for a place that has quietly shaped Miami's culinary identity. This isn't just breakfast. It's a piece of Miami's soul served on a plate and one that continues to deserve its place in the city's story.
