G’s Kitchen — Restaurant in New Bedford

In the spirit of full disclosure, I’m originally from The Bahamas, a country with a large population of Haitian immigrants, so it is through that lens that I am reviewing G’s Kitchen.

My favorite Haitian meal is pork griot with piklez. If you’re familiar with Latin fried pork (puerco frito), then you’ll recognize the Haitian iteration as exactly the same, and piklez is basically coleslaw minus the mayonnaise, but with vinegar and scotch bonnet pepper.

I found G’s pork griot to be perfectly fried to a crisp on the outside, and moist and tender on the inside, however, I was a little disappointed at the portion size. Compared to what you’d receive in The Bahamas, it was on the small side. I’m used to three times the portion size. Their piklez, while tasty, lacked the requisite spicy kick from the scotch bonnet pepper. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t spicy at all.

Service was informal, but friendly. They’re quite happy to educate diners unfamiliar with the cuisine about their menu items.

I would return and recommend them to those looking to try something new...

The owners are wonderful, fun, outgoing people and they definitely make you feel welcome every time you stop by.

Today was my first time going for the seafood boil, and I gotta say, the customer service was amazing. Everyone was so nice, friendly, and welcoming. Then, I got to try the seafood boil, and it was absolutely incredible, one of the best I've ever tried. Everything was perfectly cooked and well-sessoned with just the right level of kick (I ordered mild Cajun). I'll definitely be a...

I went there for the first time last night and it was really good. For takeout I felt I was eating pretty healthy. I’ll def go back. I got chicken w rice. I got. 3 drumsticks, rice w beans, plantains and a little salad sprinkled w Parmesan in the side which I love that it’s just enough salad to accent the meal. They give you a dipping sauce and a little slaw I would compare to a slaw that has a little heat and I ate that on the plantain w the sauce. Pretty bomb! Guy was...
