Was our first time the wait time was very long about 40 minuted. We paid $1.25 for jerk chicken sauce for the jerk chicken which was very very dry...the cashier said everything has a price even the gravy. Will never go back
I got the large oxtail. It was excellent as always.

The Positive: The fried whiting and “fixings” are a tasty treat.An associate shared some fried whiting with me from here about a month ago. I enjoyed it, especially the onions as they appeared to have a bit of heat to them. On 3-7-24, I finally drove from Waterbury to buy more fish and I ordered the chicken soup w/ gumbo peas. Both were delicious!! I went back again yesterday, 3-14-24 to repeat my order, this time I ordered a large and a small soup.Today, I went back but was unable to repeat my order. I was told there was no chicken soup.??♀️ Then I was told that I would have to wait 5-10 minutes for fish. I was agreeable until so was told they were out of “fixings.”??♀️ I thought this place wasn’t scheduled to close until 11:00 p.m. It wasn’t even 9:00 p.m. yet.My thought: An all day special should be available all day or change your menu.The Verdict: While the food is good, IF you can get some, this will not be my new Thursday spot. Perhaps arrive here before 5:00 p.m.?♀️ and you may be in luck. The chicken soup and fried whiting are both yum, but neither are worth me driving back here on a possibility of buying one or the other or both.A Daily Diner

Honestly, I have had my fair share of the antithesis of hospitality at this establishment. Some staff members would communicate with other patrons in an effort to hurl belittling statements geared towards other customers. These staff members acted without provocation ; you can easily be a victim of their unprofessional tirade just by both showing up and standing in line, while patiently waiting to get service. This pattern of behavior is unacceptable, and helps to cast a dark cloud over this establishment. In fact, the food at this restaurant exceeds competition within a 100 mile radius; I always enjoyed eating here; however, the lack of professionalism of some of the staff members really adversely affected the quality of service as well as the reputation of the establishment. This helps to pose the question: is poor management to be blamed for this pattern of deviant behavior? In fact, the lifeblood and existence of any restaurant is truly determined by the quality of service as well as the quality of the food. I hope that someone from their management team shows interest and actually reads these review and then try to make changes in the near future. If I am satisfied with acclimatization with respect to proper etiquette after 60 days, I will go ahead and recede my review, and then update my experience. Thank you!
