I did this by saying "can I have two of the $5 Specials" While assembling the order, the woman behind the counter asked a couple of questions that sounded like standard options (rice, beans, sauce), and I said yes. There was no indication these would increase the price- or that what she was asking me was different than what I ordered. When she showed me the total, it was $37. I questioned it and repeated that I asked for the $5 specials, unsure of how confusion was even possible. Her attitude was rude, dismissive, and honestly uncomfortable. She seemed smug & happy with herself when she told me that the special was "jerk chicken rice - you got jerk chicken" **which I never asked for** At that point I was hungry and she wasn't worth the argument or energy, so I paid. Nothing on the menu reasonably adds up to what I was charged. What an absolutely psychotic experience. Food was ok at best.

They were tasty and had that slight kick of heat like real jerk does. Saw the fried chicken in the window and it looked so good. Tried a piece and that was good as well. And finally the beef patty, this was just what I was looking for! Customer service was on point and cant wait to go back for more. I want to try the oxtail, the goat, and the rice. This place hit the spot and brought me back to life!

**UPDATE: 10/12/2024**…read more I am mainly writing this update as I did not get to fully finish this review when I was first writing this, but in hindsight it was probably a good thing I did write an update to begin with. I now have a much clearer understanding what this place should get. But do note that everything I had said in my original review still stands. As ate I more of the Jerk Pork that I had ordered, it was clear to me which food item was keeping this afloat. Thankfully, this was the pork itself, the main part of the course. The vegetables I found you could have gone with or without, and the rice still wasn't really good at all. In fact, when the jerk seasoning from the pork seeped onto the rice, it kind of ruined the rice to be honest. As for the plantains, I can't complain about them, but I also do not have any high praise for them either. in conclusion, the pork was actually pretty tender and is the reason it doesn't get any lower of a rating. In fact, the pork alone almost brought this up to a 3, and this would be a 2 and a half if half-stars were a thing. However, it's not enough to look past the lack of display of business hours, the way the menu is displayed, and even though I did not catch the worst the customer service stories got, I still felt uneasiness from being served in here. It won't be my choice to go out of my way to come here again, but I am thankful to have visited this place once.

Let me start of by saying the portion size was amazing. But the food just needed more seasoning for…read moremy taste. I ordered Curry goat, rice, beans and veggies (cabbage). It was not spicy at all, which I believe caters more to the area where they are, it did have a decent flavor. But it was a little dry and like I mentioned above, it needed more seasoning. I did have this delivered through grub hub, in the evening time so maybe that's why. It did come fast, within 30 minutes. Also, even though I ordered through grub hub the price wasn't bad at $17.00 for a large. It was also advertised with plantains, but I didn't get them, not sure if that was an error on GrubHub though, since I didn't physically go in to the restaurant. I would give them another chance. Especially if they could add more seasoning and some type of sauce for extra flavor and to compensate for the dryness.

The patties were a bit too salty but they weren't as oily as the other La Baguettes in the city. So, because we were still parked outside, I decided to order more. And my sis asked me to exchange one of the bottles because it was completely flat. The lady behind the counter looked visibly annoyed that I'd returned. I asked for more patties and told her the soda was flat. Her reply: 'So? I didn't make it.' I asked for a replacement, she insisted it wasn't her problem. Walked out & will never return.

I did take 1 star away bc my dad called way in advance to place the order. They said it would be 20-25 min but when we got there they told us it would still be an additional 25 min. How does that even make sense when we got there after 30-45 min which was purposefully done just to avoid this. He then asked if he could add on to the order and the wait increased so he just said never mind. We got the large griot which was plentiful. Griot pieces were not all fatty.

Large bar area, a larger dining room great for private events (which they do a lot of) per our attentive waiter and a smaller dining area near the front window. My friend and I had 3 of their specialty cocktails while there which we enjoyed very much. We had the octopus with fingerling potatoes which was delicious; the octopus was very tender. We also had the mussels in a white wine broth, it was great. It was a good sized portion for two, but we almost ordered another as it was so delicious. It came with bread to soak up the yummy sauce. My friend had a decaf cappucino and the goat cheese flan since she didn't want anything too sweet. It was also great, the tangy cheese wasn't noticeable in it and kept the flan from being too sweet (personal preference). They had other flans and Dulce de Leche as well.

The plate was huge, and you could smell the seasoning before it even hit the table. The oxtail was flavorful, tender, and coated in a rich sauce that really pulled the dish together. The rice was fluffy, the peas earthy, and everything had that authentic homemade Caribbean taste. If I had one wish, it would be for the oxtail pieces to be a little meatier -- because the flavor had me wanting more. Portion-wise though, they don't skimp, and everything tasted fresh. Service was straightforward, the spot has that local charm, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're craving real Caribbean flavor in the area.
