“My first time visiting Anthony’s I had a great experience. From the time I walked in , to ordering my food to paying for it, the two ladies behind the counter were very friendly & professional. I ordered a small curry chicken w/ rice / peas & steamed vegetables. It was one of the tastiest dishes I have ordered in a long time. I am looking forward to visiting again & trying mny other dishes.Definitely will spread the word. ⭐️“
“We walked in for lunch and the energy was amazing!! We sat at the bar with the owner and she was great company!! The food was great we had wings, calamari, oxtail and curry goat!! Good portions and good flavor!! You must try her RUM PUNCH!! Lol IF YOU DARE!!!“
“I am a frequent customer, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is very pleasant to be in. They offer a lot of different services and are very kind and giving. It is a wonderful family run restaurant, they are very active in the community and is a very positive influence to the hartford community! Hands down the best Jamacian food.“
“THE best Jamaican food I've had! The staff is quick & friendly & prices are very low ESPECIALLY when you consider the amount of food you get. Try the mac & cheese, it's amazing. They stay open very late tooParking: The parking lot is a bit small but I've never had a problem parking more than a minute walk to the door“
“Rarely any pork dishes but all other Jamaican Faire I believe. I've never ordered pepper shrimp or fish so maybe they have it maybe not.Parking: You can park on the street but most of it is bus stop and the other side of the street is free and a shared lot with a liquor store so it's always revolvingWheelchair accessibility: Not accessible, stairs into the building“

“(Note: This review is for the Albany Ave. location) This won't be a popular review. For decades my family would frequent Scott's Bakery. We loved everything that they offered (hardo bread, beef patty, coco bread, plantain tart and so on). When I said we liked EVERYTHING, I mean it. Everything was on point!! Yesterday was my first time (and last time) going into Scott's in about a decade plus. It is clear that management has changed (if not management, something has gone horribly wrong). The shell of the patty was beyond thick and there was little meat in it. The coco bread was beyond disgusting! It was a flavorless clump of undercooked dough. You know how coco bread is supposed to taste. It didn't taste like that at all. It seems as though they've cut corners on their peanut punch which had a gell-like texture. The BEST part of everything that I purchased was the Cola Champagne. As long as they continue to use the same distributor they can't mess that up. Maybe they had a bad day. I won't be spending money to find out.“

“Great food, some of the best ox tails I've ever had. Beef patties are ok. Jerk Wings are amazing!! Service is good, you can tell it's someone's mom or grandma in the back cooking because it's hands down delicious. Pricing is reasonable for home cooked food. Ambience if good, love that they painted the building years back and gave it a nicer look. They have both street and onsite parking.“
“I needed some food before I went to study at Dunkin, so I decided to get food from here. I got jerk chicken, a spicy beef patty and platains. Everything was so good!! The jerk chicken and beef patty had so much flavor! This all came out to $20. The employee was good. The place smelled amazing. Really good food. I would definitely come here again.Parking: Very big and spacious parking lot!“
“Came on a Sunday and ordered a decent amount of food for my family . 1 large meal with fried chicken n jerk pork , Soup and 2 small chicken meals . The woman serving me had a little attitude but then eventually made an effort to be more pleasant after I matched her energy . The food was good though and I’ll be back ??“
“Ordered a beef patty and coco bread, tasted just as it should, beef patty was warm and tasted good, coco bread was soft and warm as expected. The lady who served me was nice and polite with her service nothing more was needed.Seen some other reviews and I think people who don’t grow up in the islands or from a Caribbean background expect to much.Atmosphere rated low just due to outside lingering people but expected in the city and a hotspot strip for restaurants and stores.“
“The food was absolutely amazing. I got the Jerk chicken, fried plantains, braised cabbage, and the beans and rice all smothered with the jerk sauce. It was spicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to go back and try more foods:)“
“The Jerk Pork was amazing when I ordered it. The vibe is extremely authentic and the staff is extremely great. Shanay who took my order was extremely friendly and provided great service. I recommend this restaurant to my family and friends.“
“This restaurant is a hidden gem. Every time I enter the restaurant the gentleman always greets and asked how can I help. The service and the food is excellent it’s fresh and you always get service with a smile. I highly recommend eating here if your looking for some island cuisine.“
“Hands down, some of the best food I’ve had recently! They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is done the right way. The fried chicken with oxtail gravy I had the other day was especially memorable, as well as the Green smoothie! From the service to the cleanliness of the restaurant You can’t go wrong with Dutch pot I promise you.“
