Royal Queen Food Take Out

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.

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.

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 recommend going there for lunch or dinner and if you’re ever need some catering, this is the place to do it? I do recommend you call ahead because she likes to prepare special treats for everyone and give her time to make an authentic meal at her own pace for you. Highly recommend this place 1 million stars I had guest
from all over from Egypt, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and good USA visiting this graduation event around 30 people and even picky children and all of them love the food. Admittedly we had food from another place. The creole food finished first within two hours. People were making trays and plates to take home. Yum.

Went for the first time today the sample royal Queen food takeout, and let me tell you as a a man who grew up in Brooklyn, New York in the flatbush section, the taste the food, the atmosphere and the friendly nature of mama Carol as I affectionally call her made this trip so worth it. I have moved upstate recently and have missed a lot of good Caribbean spots well this place definitely took me back to Haiti. I walked in the small location with big taste and friendly service. I kept it simple. I ordered the griot with rice and peas and the peppa peppers. And man did it take me back like I was still in Brooklyn. This place is authentic, specially with the flavors everything was delicious made to order. I’m telling you now she has a fan and loyal customer for life. The best part about this just standing there talking with her and her energy and how much she loves her family and loves what she does makes the food taste even better. I highly recommend coming by and getting a plate. I’m looking forward to the oxtail next time. Definitely glad I stopped in here creole food at his best. My only regret I had to share with the family wish I would’ve ordered larger and more plates won’t make that mistake next time.

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.

Delicious and authentic Haitian food cooked fresh EVERY DAY. GREAT food takes time, so be patient. This place has a wonderful atmosphere, and is run by wonderful people. My husband is able to get a real taste of home when we order. 10/10!
