I love the name! Feeding Tree is a wonderful little Jamaican restaurant right around the corner from Yankee Stadium. While it's not the best Jamaican/Caribbean food I've had in town, I certainly don't have anything bad to say about it.
Your usual Jamaican dishes from jerk chicken to beef stew are present, and you have the option of small, medium, or large bowls. For lunch, medium should be more than adequate, and large is better for dinner. Small would be more fitting for a snack or for kids. The meat, rice, and plantain are indeed very tasty, but unfortunately, I wish they would give a slightly larger portion of meat, with less rice. Oh, and the cornbread is pretty darn good, as expected.
You can tell upon initial entry that Feeding Tree has been around for awhile, with its well worn signage, tables, and counters, and above all, the CRT TV with quite a bit of mileage on it. All of this lends to the character of the place, and should not negatively impact your experience in any way. Surprisingly, the single unisex restroom is extremely tidy. The staff is also polite and welcoming, but not overly chatty.
There was no game going on when I last visited Feeding Tree, so it was relatively slow around 6pm, but I could imagine it being packed to the gills when the Yankees are in town. It is certainly a great option in the area if you are not too keen on getting ripped off by stadium food.
