This restaurant is small but mighty! The food is flavorful, seasoned with the right amount of spice, and cooked fresh.
The restaurant is located on the corner of a shopping center. It has an intimate setting with a mix of high and low top tables. There is also seating at the bar. There is plenty of free parking on the back side of the building.
Yardie Spice is a blend of Haitian and Jamaican food. They have everything from patties to griot to stews and soup. I tried the oxtails, the griot complete (with rice), and tasted some of the vegetable soup. I tried the punch of the day, which was a mix of mango, tumeric, and ginger, and I think carrot... all fresh ingredients. It was my first time trying Haitian food, and it did not disappoint. The oxtails were so tender and juicy. The pork was crispy and delicious. The serving sizes are huge!
The price point is reasonable. I noticed that they also have specials that can accommodate every budget. The walls are decorated with plaques and awards as a testament to their great food.
Let's talk service...
From the time that I walked in until the time that I left, I was treated like a valued customer. I was educated about the menu, and multiple recommendations were made for popular dishes. The owner was friendly and engaging to every customer who entered.
While I was visiting the area, I had to stop by. My friends from Jacksonville highly recommend this spot, and I see why. I will definitely be back.
