Every time I'm in Norfolk, I make sure to slide through MP's to get something to eat! (Sometimes an extra dinner, for the road) Mind you, I don't live in Norfolk, but I've been to MP's multiple times, and they've Never disappointed!!
I usually get the Curry Chicken Dinner-Small, with Yams, and Cabbage... Greens too, sometimes. Plus, Banana Pudding and Sweet Potato Pies for dessert. (Don't judge me) 🤭My son gets the Jerk Chicken Dinner-Large, with Heavy Gravy, Yellow Rice, and Macaroni & Cheese. The food has been consistently delicious, and I've told family, friends, and coworkers about this place! I jokingly told a coworker I could do a commercial for MP's. 😋

First off I ordered from here for the carribean taste This food taste like bland soul food. The oxtails were super small. They gave me more string beans than rice. It was a mess. I used to order from Mp’s weekly and this is my second time being disappointed. MP’s is not the same anymore.

Best place to get curry goat or chicken

It had been almost a year since my last visit because I live in NC, but I have to bring my mom here anytime we are in VA. My Jamaican mother has a discerning palate, and this is the only Caribbean food that passes her tests. She also likes to hit up the grocery section for items she can't find locally.

We were blessed to arrive at a time when there was hardly a line. Throughout years of patronage, we have waited in a long line at every location of this restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the food is worth the wait, and the line is part of the experience, but it was so nice to be able to order right away. I immediately noticed some items available on the hot bar like ackee and saltfish - I hadn't seen that offered before. I'd also never seen every pattie variety available at once. I was happy to be able to have the veggie and the spinach and cheese as vegetarian options.

The staff was wonderful. They were patient with my mother who still is never ready to order when it's her turn😅. The staff also graciously navigated another issue when I attempted to pay for our food. I hadn't noticed my mom ordering another entree and changing the size of her plates. The staff informed me discreetly, easily figured the difference, and quickly sorted everything out.

We then went to the grocery side where my mom idly browsed the aisles. We were greeted by a very nice young man who was stocking shelves. This same young man was our cashier and he was so polite and kind and helpful. He took his time with my mom's items and loaded bags into her cart. I was so impressed, he was clearly raised very well. I wish I got his name because he deserves to be recognized. Please let him know he is doing an excellent job and I wish him well in life. It is so nice to encounter truly kind people, especially when they are young.

Anyway, I digress, the food was excellent. I brought a large oxtail dinner home for my husband, and he cleaned the plate. My hot patties were delicious, and I also purchased the unbaked, frozen versions of them from the grocery. I also stocked up on hot sauce and snacks. Best visit so far.

My picky mother critiques every food item I bring her. She is the ultimate food critic. I finally found a place that meets her palate standards. She has me to take her to eat here at least twice a week.
