Royal Queen Food Take Out

This food was absolutely amazing. This was my first time having Haitian food and I was blown away. The oxtails were big and meaty, fell off the bone, and everything was made to order from fresh ingredients. Portion size was huge. I’m a big guy that never gets enough and I couldn’t eat all of it. The rice was cooked perfectly and was full of flavor. Highly recommended!

As I write this, I’m thinking about what I’ll order today. The owners are so friendly—which, unfortunately, isn’t the norm. My order was delicious! Made to order, so it was hot and fresh. 😋 The macaroni gratin tasted even better the next day! I can’t go back to other restaurants since I found this place. In addition to the macaroni, I ordered the fried red snapper, which came with rice and your choice of sweet or green plantains. I strongly suggest calling ahead to place your order. You won’t be in and out in five minutes like at other restaurants, but trust me—you won’t be disappointed by the wait.

Fantastic island food. Really fresh. We ordered oxtails and chicken stew. Sides were rice and peas and beans along with sweet and green plantains. The dishes were delicious smothered in vegetable not over-cooked. The oxtails, which normally don't have much meat, were large and surprisingly meaty. Sides were fantastic, well seasoned and fresh. The plantains were obviously cooked in fresh oil (Carolle says olive oil and I believe it) The place is a hole in the wall, mainly for take-out. However, if you can't or don't want to wait to eat it home, there is a tiny table and a couple of seats for immediate gratification. Definitely worth a trip.

Update 07/12/25: I enjoy the food so much from Royal Queen food takeout that I decided to go back for a second round to cater a backyard, graduation barbecue and maaaan, Mama Carol did not disappoint the food when I went to go pick it up was already prepared and ready made fresh the day of the event. We had mushroom rice, authentic real with real Haitian black mushroom , Griot deep fried pork with pickles vegetable, sautéed almost curry light chicken, so tender, and fresh meat, chicken and beef patties in a puff pastry so delectable, tender and flaky I keep coming back here because the food and the hospitality never disappoint for such a small storefront. They deliver powerful flavors and taste. It feels just like authentic AT HOME cooking made by your grandmother or mother. Highly recomme

The owners are so nice! Call before you go to see what’s available. They make everything fresh and they run out quick! If you’re near by give them a shot, you wont regret it.
