I thought I had reviewed this place but I guess not. Afterall, I have been eating here for about 50 times in the past 3 months. Yeah, not good. Wait, SO GOOD. I strolled into this place one day and I ordered chicken but they gave me goat. I was not happy about that. I ate the goat anyways, that's when I accidently discovered how good it was. I dragged a friend with me to get lunch here. Let's just say, we've been here way too many times in the past couple of months.
This location offers some breakfast options, which I have not tried yet but looks reasonably priced and just throwing it out there.
Jerk Chicken - You get a whole leg and thigh. This is what I usually get when I eat at the premises. I ordered this to go once, about 1 hour away, it didn't taste as good. Don't do it. They usually offer hot sauce, jerk sauce, or BBQ sauce. I like mine with no sauce.
Curry Chicken - My second option when I want chicken with some sauce. I've had my share of curry chicken in different types of cuisine and who doesn't love some curry chicken? Super tender and juicy!
Curry Goat - very tender, and not tough at all. I thought I was going crazy but I tried it more than once, the curry goat is in fact way more spicier than the curry chicken. I'm a weakling when it comes to spice so I'm ready to cry whenever I crave for this deliciousness. It's worth tearing and sniffling over.
Oxtail - I love oxtail in almost every way, let's just leave it at that. The sauce was more on the sweet side though, but who doesn't love some oxtail gravy?
Stew Chicken - The way this chicken is prepared is quite similar to the oxtail. The sauce has sweeter notes. I love my Jerk chicken and curry chicken though so I've only had this once.
I just have to mentioned that I love the over done cabbage. I shouldn't be eating too much cabbage or in fact too much of this but I can't help myself. The rice and peas might be too dry for some. I've haven't tried the plantains, mac and cheese, and other items I have not mentioned.
All the chicken and goat is very tender and juicy and just falls right off the bone when you poke at it. They have great lunch specials starting at $5.50, so worth it. Usually a "small" (lunch special) will fill me up for lunch. The small comes is a nice portion with an option of one side (plantains or cabbage) and your choice or white rice or rice and peas. Medium comes with two sides and a nice hefty portion.
My usual order: "Jerk Chicken small, rice and peas, cabbage with oxtail gravy." $5.50. (the oxtail gravy goes over the rice and peas to make it less dry)
The service could really use some work but I can really understand when I see them dealing with some of these customers in there ... but hey, I wasn't a difficult customer, a smile or some manners would be nice.
