If you've never eaten at Dinner Is Served, the menu can be a lot to take in at once. Haitian and Caribbean dishes sit next to Cuban sandwiches, burgers, Alfredo combos, and a full breakfast list.
This is a guide to what's on it, what each dish actually is, and where to start.
We're at 1001 NW 95th Street in Miami, open Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Everything below is available dine in, takeout, or ordered online for pickup.
Start Here If It's Your First Visit
Two dishes are the fair introduction to what this kitchen does.
Marinated Fried Pork (Griot) - $15.75
Griot is the Haitian classic and our signature plate: pork chunks marinated in citrus and spices, then fried until the outside goes deep golden and crisp while the inside stays tender. It's the dish to order if you want to know what we're about.
Served with your choice of two sides. Fried plantains are the traditional pairing.
Oxtail Stew - $26.99
Oxtail - queue bœuf - braised long enough that it falls off the bone, in a deep, heavily seasoned sauce. It's the other dish people come back for specifically. Rice and beans underneath it is the right call.
Also served with two sides.
The Rest of the Caribbean and Haitian Menu
If those two land well, this is where to go next. There's more context on all of it on our Haitian food in Miami page.
- Conch (Lambi) - $27. Tender conch, seasoned Caribbean-style, fried until crisp and golden or steamed.
- Bouillon - $14.50. The traditional soup: mixed vegetables, tender meat, and dumplings. Comfort food in the most literal sense.
- Whole Snapper - $29. A whole red snapper, seasoned and cooked your way - fried crisp or steamed. This is the one to order when you're feeding someone you want to impress.
- Pork Stew (Ragout) - $14. Slow-cooked pork in a rich, savory sauce with traditional Caribbean seasonings.
- Turkey Stew (Ragout Dinde) - $17. Slow-simmered turkey in a savory Caribbean-style sauce with aromatic herbs.

Chicken, Steak and Seafood
- Chicken Wings - $14.75. Eight crispy golden wings, tossed plain, BBQ, or lemon pepper.
- Cuban Style Chicken Breast - $15. Pollo a la plancha - grilled marinated chicken breast.
- Creamy Chicken with Mushrooms or Spinach - $18. Pollo con champiñones - chicken breast in a creamy Parmesan sauce.
- BBQ Ribs - $16.75. Pork ribs glazed in smoky barbecue sauce.
- Juicy Steak + 2 Sides - $24.75. A grilled steak, straightforward and generous.
- Oven-Baked Salmon - $22. Atlantic salmon seasoned with Caribbean herbs.
- Lobster Tails - $40. For when the occasion calls for it.
- Ground Beef (Picadillo) - $13.50. Latin-style ground beef simmered with peppers, onions, olives, and tomato.
Every entrée above comes with your choice of two sides.
Don't Skip the Sides
The sides are half of what makes a plate here work: fried plantains (tostones), sweet plantains, rice and beans, mixed rice and red beans, boiled yuca, red beans, French fries, sweet baked potato, green beans, broccoli, corn, and salad. Empanadas (beef, chicken, or ham and cheese) and croquetas are on the same list.
If you're not sure: fried plantains with griot, rice and beans with oxtail.
Sandwiches and Burgers
Not every visit calls for a full entrée. All of these come with fries.
- Cuban Sandwich - $11. Ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard pressed on Cuban bread.
- Hamburger - $12 / Cheese Burger - $13 / Bacon Cheese Burger - $14.
- Steak Sandwich - $12.95. Grilled steak with onions on a toasted roll.
- Grilled Chicken Sandwich - $12.95.
- Big Turkey - $12. Sliced turkey with cheese, tomato, and bacon.
- Full Size Tuna Melt - $12.95.
- BLT Sandwich - $11.25.
Alfredo Combos
Creamy fettuccine Alfredo with your protein of choice - the easiest thing on the menu to hand to someone who doesn't want to be adventurous.
Chicken ($17.25), shrimp ($18), chicken and shrimp ($20.75), salmon ($21.75), steak ($22.75), salmon and shrimp ($23.95), or steak and shrimp ($25.50).
Load It Up
Loaded Potato - $8. A baked potato or sweet potato with your choice of griot or chicken on top. A genuinely good cheap lunch.
Breakfast, From 8:00 AM
Our breakfast menu is short and does its job:
- Breakfast Platter - $12.50. Two eggs any style with fried plantains, rice and beans, and toast.
- Grilled Beef Steak with Eggs - $15.75. With grits and savory grilled onions. The heaviest option, and the right one after an overnight shift.
- Breakfast Sandwich - $11.25. Scrambled eggs and cheese with bacon, sausage, or ham on toasted bread.
The café list runs alongside it: café con leche, cappuccino, macchiato, mocha, espresso, americano, hot chocolate, hot tea, and iced versions of most of it.

Ordering for a Group
Because the menu spans several cuisines, a group order doesn't have to be a compromise. One person gets griot, another gets oxtail, someone else gets a burger or an Alfredo, and nobody is settling.
If the group is large enough that it's really an event, that's what catering and our patio events are for.
