Reviews for Gingerbites Haitian Bistro in Huntington Station, NY

The owner was initially not nice. I'm not sure why she's not automatically pleasant to her customers. She's rude and abrasive. I... truly don't get it. I'd be happy if customers came into my restaurant. My husband and I wanted to try some Caribbean food whilevisiting family in NY and this was a convenient spot as it was about 5 mins from the home we were visiting. As we stepped in, noone was at the counter to greet us for what felt like 8 mins, give or take. Finally a lady came out and was walking out to handcurb side orders. She came back in and finally acknowledged us and said just a moment. She was busy. My husband sat down and shesaid if we're not eating in he cannot have a seat bc she'll have to disinfect the area he was in. But the way she said it waswith annoyance. She assumed we weren't going eat in. There's a better way to speak to customers. So we placed our order and gotsome drinks. Food was ok. It could've been good if it wasn't overly seasoned with sodium. The drinks were on point. Her customerservice improved towards the end of our stay. She said she gave us larger portion than normal for the wait. I appreciate heracknowledgment but I wish this was our first interaction rather than the latter. Best wishes. Read more

Had the greatest experience as a first time customer to a location I didn’t even know existed. Loved the hospitality, the... food, the music and the people. Omg the food??? Yeahhh I’m definitely coming back - and I’m bringing more people with me.They gotta experience thisssss! BIG THANK YOU! This was an amazing experience. Read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! I just took my Fiancé here for her birthday. I have to make it known that Marie is beyond amazing.... Her personable personality and hospitality beats any restaurant I’ve ever been too. And the food? Don’t get me started,every bite was flavorful. Her and one of her staff came out and sang happy birthday to my Fiancé in both English and Creolemaking it such a cultural experience for us. I most definitely will be back and I’m bringing others with me. Read more

Service with a smile is a plus ?? in my book and they have that but the food itself did not have that Haitian taste maker it... tasted more Mediterranean than Caribbean thus comes the gingerbites name. Growing up ginger to me was always used as teaingredient to help fight cold and coughs and some would add it as spice in sweeter foods never in savory or salted ???? dishes Read more

If I could give it negative rating, I would! I used to love going there and I wouldn’t mind the drive. Yesterday I tried... placing an order and was having trouble getting through, so I called back and asked if they had fritay. The owner then said theyweren’t ghon be making anymore fritay, which is understandable. So I asked when the fritay was over, in a rude manner sheanswered “do you want the minute, the seconds, why does it matter when it was over” I started telling her how rude she issince how you’re a owner and you’re answering this way. I also told her I’ve been calling and couldn’t get through hencewhy I asked when it was finished. She claimed the phone never rung! Which was a lie!!! I reminded her of what was said when Icalled earlier and she responded with “oh, that was you” THIS LADY IS THE RUDEST EVER BAD ATTITUDE AND BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.Without us, you would have no business! Save your money and spend it elsewhere. Her and her whole team are the rudest! I don’tunderstand how she’s still in business Thinking she’s bringing some “classy” business meanwhile she doesn’t have goodcustomer service PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Read more

Stopped by for lunch on July 22 based on reading positive reviews and seeking authentic Haitian cuisine. We had legume dish with... chicken, and turkey stewed. Dishes were beautifully appointed and cooked to perfection. Accompanying rice & beans and plantainswere delicious. Marie treated us well. Highly recommend Gingerbites. Read more
