I've been meaning to come to this new Patty place since it's supposed to be direct from Jamaica. Now I understand that it is a chain so it's not a Mom and pop shop however, if the authenticity of the food is better than the local business I'm into trying it out. When I arrived, there was a security guard posted outside of the shop to make sure that there weren't too many people inside the shop and to monitor the line on the outside. Even though it was a weekday, there was still a line outside the shop, but it was fairly quick to get inside. There was also a worker taking orders from people in the line in addition to letting others into the shop to order with a cashier. I chose three spicy beef patties and three spicy chicken. Each Patty was 425 and you have to factor in tax. I've also paid with a credit card so I'm not sure if there was a fee but my total bill was approximately $27. Do not be like me and choose do not print receipt because that's how they make sure that you get your order. I did give them my name and I knew my order number, but I had to explain to the worker that was handing out the bags of food that I didn't have a receipt because i chose the no print option like a fool. It took approximately 5 to 10 minutes for me to get my food, even though it was busy. They had multiple workers, checking receipts and building all the bags. The patties are individually wrapped if you get singles however, if you get more than one of a single type, they will double up the same flavor in one bag. However, everything is labeled and make sure you double check the contents of your bag so that nothing is missing. I did not have this issue. There were also no napkins available because I think they just ran out. Obviously, they are still under growing pains for being a new business and being so popular. I have to say, though the patties themselves are super flaky, and the both the beef and chicken were very well spice and flavorful, and there was a good amount of filling in each Patty. The local Jamaican beef patty places that are based in New York or either lacking in flakiness or lacking in filling or flavor. This place hits all three points so I would definitely recommend it if you're looking to try a very authentic Patty. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.
