Do they want business? Or are they just open for no reason? I truly dont understand. Such a waste of time, TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE, I AM WARNING YOU!

I owe a sincere apology to the team at Scotch Bonnet in the Danbury Fair Mall food court…read more Why? Because I walked up expecting... well... food court food. What I got instead was a legit, fresh, sit-down-restaurant quality meal being handcrafted right in front of me by people who clearly take real pride in what they're doing. I ordered the jerk chicken with their "smoked" jerk sauce over a field greens salad and it was honestly one of the best salads I've had anywhere in the area. Perfectly seasoned chicken, bright fresh greens, and a sauce that should probably come with a warning label because I'm still thinking about it a day later. The best part? The whole thing was under $14 with a drink. In 2026 that feels like some sort of culinary glitch in the matrix. While I was waiting, I watched the team chopping, seasoning, and assembling everything fresh with the kind of care you normally see in a full-service kitchen. It completely changed my expectations of what a "mall food court" can be. Meanwhile, everyone else can keep lining up for the same old tasteless, sodium-laden "Asian" food... or the wildly overrated chicken chain from Atlanta where people stand in line like sheep for dry, forgettable chicken. Their loss. And I barely scratched the surface of the menu -- wings, sandwiches, bowls, patties, and a bunch of other things I'm already planning to come back and try. The only tiny bummer? The plastic cutlery they offer is a little too flimsy for a salad this hearty and loaded. But honestly, if that's the biggest complaint I have, I'm thrilled. So yes... I came for a quick mall bite. Instead I found a place I'll intentionally come back for. And again, apologies to the chefs for the skepticism. You converted me.

We were in Saugertes for my birthday weekend. My girlfriend had never had authentic Jamaican food…read morebefore so I went to Yelp, checked the reviews and settled on Top Taste. Mind you, I'm a bit of a food snob. Having lived in Brooklyn NY, for a while and had lots of experience with both great and not-so-great Jamaican food, prepared by Jamaican immigrants, I was looking forward to some great food and wasn't disappointed. When we walked in we were greeted by the owners and family. My girlfriend had her first experience with oxtail, I had the brown stew chicken. The food was tasty, well cooked and not too spicy. We ate-in and enjoyed the food till we were full and took the rest to go. My girlfriend had some great conversation with the ladies and told them it was my birthday. They all sang me Happy Birthday and then gifted me some delicious rum cake. If you are in the area I would suggest you seek them out.

We visited on a Friday at 6:30 and the restaurant had a line plus we ordered and waited 30 minutes or so for the food. I was all worth it. Get the oxtail and the jerk chicken. Oxtail had great texture and jerk chicken was grilled and actually tasted grilled charcoal. Everything was well seasoned not overly salty. Mac and cheese was some of the best we have tried. Might be a wait during dinner hours but be all worth the wait. The man was really nice and service with a smile. If you are in the neighborhood, get some great Jamaican food!

We came on a weekday and had no trouble sitting. You order a main protein that comes with rice, cabbage, and plantains. You can order sides of things like fried chicken or mac & cheese. We went with one small jerk chicken, and one medium oxtail. The portions are absolutely huge. It was the most generous small I've ever gotten in a restaurant... such an incredible value for just $10. The jerk chicken is absolutely delicious. I loved the rice and cabbage. It was a really satisfying meal. I also love the flavor of the oxtail, but picking through tiny bones isn't really my thing so jerk chicken is the way to go. Before you leave, you have to order a slice of the rum cake to go. It is the first time I've had fresh rum cake (not the typical Tortuga) and it was so delicious and moist, it was almost like a custard. We loved it so much, we picked up food again on our way home. You can tell this restaurant is loved by the community - definitely a special place to stop while in the area.
