I understand that inflation is off the chart and all operating costs are skyrocketing. But $24 + for a very small chicken sandwich with the tiniest amount of fries and a small fountain soda . I ordered the Philly chicken sandwich and it was not good and the bread was a sponge , the amount of meat was very cheap and one side of the sandwich was totally void of meat ? I was lucky I was at the restaurant. I showed the manager and they made a new one. But the bread was the bummer. Very spongy. The bread that the sandwich was made with was just about as bad as it gets . You would not be able to eat it alone.

We started with the pretzel, which was great. The dipping sauce made it even better. The naked wings were perfectly fried, and both chicken sandwiches--one fried and one grilled--were delicious. The nachos with Cajun chicken were also lovely, with plenty of chicken. The miss of the meal was the smashburger, which really wasn't a smashburger. It was left with only two bites taken. This was where our server really handled the situation beautifully. We didn't ask for anything or complain, but he offered to send the manager over. We told him that wasn't necessary and that it was fine. He then went ahead and took the burger off the bill anyway, which we really appreciated. Overall, the experience started off a little questionable, but it ended on a positive note. Despite a few misses, most of the food was good.

I would suggest calling in your order for take out, instead of waiting, as there are minimal street parking within the location. Over all, I was very impressed with the food, but due to location and lack of dining area (restaurant style), I may be slightly remiss how often I may be returning. Again, great for take out or catered events!

I ordered Roast Beef Au Jus, with mashed potatoes and apple sauce. They don't serve rolls, salad or anything extra, and when the roast beef arrived, it was slices of DARK GRAY BROWN with NO pink, floating in a cup of over salted "au jus" and was inedible! I tried to eat the meat, gave my husband a piece, he said, "don't eat that!" When I told the server, she brought over a guy who I assume was the owner or manager. I told him the meat was not fresh, tasted old and, instead of apologizing, he started BULLYING ME INSISTING HE WOULD CHARGE FOR EVERYTHING BUT THE BEEF, and LOUDLY kept repeating the meat was "fine" and that I "just didn't like it!" Well, NO SIR, yes, the MEAT WAS HORRIBLE and he kept arguing and insisted "is it fair?" to charge me for the potatoes, applesauce and salad. GUESS WHAT? He charged $7.25 for a side of mashed potatoes, $4.50 for a tiny dish of applesauce, and $4.95 for the salad! The salad was bagged mixed lettuce which was thrown into a bowl, bits of wet spinach and wilted lettuce mixed up, it was just AWFUL! So, my "dinner" cost $16.70 with no meat! Now, Galaxy Diner WAS one of our favorite diners but NOT ANY MORE! Unless that owner changes his attitude and cleans up the diner, business will continue to shrink! And IT HAS shrunk! Now we know why the diner isn't HALF as busy as used to be! GOOD LUCK AT ATTRACTING AND KEEPING NEW CUSTOMERS!

The pasta was cooked well, and I was impressed with the generous portion of lobster. Service was just okay--it wasn't busy, but things moved a little slow.

The Best Jamaican Food on Earth…read more I've been coming here forever and the food is unlike anywhere else I have ever been. I have been to Jamaica and nothing is close. I have brought friends here who live/ lived in Jamaica and they are blown away. I also lived in the Jamacian area in Harlem and never found a Jamaican Restaurant even close to this place. The staff are friendly and get the food out quickly. There is almost a couple people there and they have no problem handling the traffic. Place definitely has a vibe. Bonus it is down by Seaside Park so when it's warm enough I love grabbing my food to go and eating it in the park. Food: -Jerk Chicken This is by far my go to. If you can't handle a LOT of heat then this is not for you. 1st time my wife had it she couldn't hang but I made her try it again and again and eventually she built a tolerance and absolutely loves it. -Curry Goat My 2nd Favorite. Not too much heat and very tasty. Careful of the bones but the flavor is incredible. If you can't handle the heat of the Jerk this is a great option. -Stewed Chicken Good option. I don't get it too often as I prefer the Jerk but if I'm not in the mood for the heat or just want to switch it up this is another amazingly flavorful option. -Jamaican Patty's All of them are great Spicy or Mild Beef, Chicken, Veggie I usually get a patty with my order and rotate my choice with my mood or what looks best that day. Final Thoughts If you haven't been to Rootsman you don't know what Real Jamaican Food is. Get here ASAP!! Caution: Food is Amazing & Addictive

Before I get into the review proper, I've noticed that many older reviews had mentioned this place…read morewas Cash Only. Based on my visit tonight, they now accept card since I was able to my debit on this one. This place is primarily take-out, but there's tables inside where you can eat in if you wish. I opted to just get my food and be on my way. But before that, I do want to mention that the guy behind the counter pointed out on my visit that not everything that the menu reads was actually in stock (my visit came at about 7:30 pm on a Tuesday night). He did at least have the courtesy of telling me what was available, to which I had opted for the jerk chicken. I didn't know this upon my ordering, but apparently this jerk chicken gets rave reviews here on Yelp. I don't order this kind of thing often, and the last time I went to a place to order jerk chicken the food and atmosphere did not turn out good, so I was hopeful I would at least have a better experience here. The place itself is unassuming in a way something similar to how a hole in the wall would be unassuming. One thing I will say in this place's favor is that the price is very fair for what you get. I only had to pay $16.32 for the meal which honestly isn't bad at all. And hey, at least the employee had decent manners. Upon arriving back at the Bridgeport Station to start eating, that was when I had realized something had gone wrong. When I got to the bag I was given the food in, the take-out container completely destroyed the bag, telling me that this was not packaged well at all. Imagine if I had tried to drive this back home and then found that! They could probably do with making some sort of effort reinforcing the packaging before packing into a paper bag. To make matters worse, when I had opened the container to start eating, the food exploded all over my shorts! Not fun! But I was able to eat enough to form an opinion. As for the meal itself, the jerk chicken comes with cabbage and rice. I would have liked to have the rice separate from the chicken, but that was apparently not an option. I was kind of bummed out about that since the last time I had jerk spice on rice it ruined the rice. I will say quality-wise the food was better than People's Choice over in Norwalk. The chicken was juicy and the rice was at least cooked properly. The taste of the rice I will say did not taste much difference from the chicken, so it's definitely doesn't stand out too much. The cabbage was a wet cabbage, not to the point of mush, but maybe the next level before that. Good thing the chicken was actually good jerk chicken, even though it's not de-boned. Would I walk 20 minutes to come eat here again? If I had to. So far I'd pick this over several others if I am in the mood for Caribbean food. Just some better packaging would be nice.
