Area509 — Restaurant in Appleton

If this is Haitian cuisine, sign me up! Just walking in, you could smell how great this meal was going to be, and I was not disappointed. Area509 is a quaint, over-the-counter diner that serves Haitian fare with a small indoor dining area, but a large outdoor patio that includes covered/uncovered sections and room for entertainment. They also have several food trucks with rallies and live music throughout the summer. Their food is something you start eating and can't stop (until you're way too full). Everything was seasoned to perfection. The Mac was rich and creamy. The Pikliz will knock your socks off if you don't know what you're getting into. But my perfect bite was the Oxtail paired with the Beans and Rice. Mixing and mactching Mains and Sides really made it hard to stop eating. The Oxtail Meal was $25, but it was probably 2lbs of food! Certainly enough for two people. THIS SHOULD BE ON...

A wonderful surprise tucked away in Appleton. We were greeted with a smile right when we walked in the door. The food was fantastic. We tried two dishes; the Mango Lime Chicken Meal and Jerk Chicken Sandwich. The portion for the meal was huge. I only ate half (my husband ate the rest). The meal came with three sides. We chose the beet salad (cool and refreshing), rice and beans, and creamy, gooey jerk mac n' cheese. The chicken thighs were flavorful and fell off the bone. So tender! The rice was perfectly cooked. All of the food was delicous. The jerk chicken sandwich was spicy, while still having great flavor. We didn't save room for rum cake, but if the dessert is anywhere near as good as the entrees, we will have to try it next time! Four stars for the atmosphere because the place is quaint and still getting some finishing touches put into place. It was clean and...

This was my first time trying Area509 and I was absolutely blown away. We felt everything was priced great for what we received, and it was packaged with care (very neatly organaized.) We ordered their Jerk Chicken & Garlic Pork meals with sides of Fried Plantains, Mac & Cheese, Red Beans & Rice and Beet Salad. We also got an order of their shrimp. It was all absolutely phenomenal, soooo so so delicious. I couldn't believe how spectacular the spices were. This is a gem in Fox Cities, I am so excited to live down the street. Don't walk.. run to check out this...
