    Jerk Chicken Lunch Special
    Lisa J.

    I used DoorDash and spent 30$ on this with a soup. They gave me burnt chicken and flavorless soup with no meat a bone and a piece of yam. I wouldn't go back there. They don't know how to serve customers

    Jerk chicken dinner
    Toné S.

    Second time around ordering from Merrick Jerk! Both times I purchased food them because they were the only ones open pass 9:30pm still serving jerk chicken fresh off of the grill. This time I ordered via Door Dash, which btw was my first time doing so (I know, I'm late). Not a bad experience at all, especially considering that it was late and I was hesitant about ordering so late for fear that my plate would be served the "last hour" scraps... I ordered the large jerk chicken dinner, which my 11yr old and I shared. It was delicious. I requested that they put oxtail gravy on my rice & peas in the "special instructions" section, and they did just that! That is a big win for me because I do not care for rice without gravy. The food also arrived hot (thank you door dash ). We were not disappointed at all.

    I've been eyeing you Little Jerk Center...... This little spot is right next to the salon where I get my eyebrows done. I was hungry but in a hurry so I figured this was the best time to try it out. I walked in looking for a menu and I discovered that there is no menu. Nothing on the wall, no signs, no paper menu. Just food buffet style behind the window and a chalk board outside listing items. This discouraged me but like I said, I was in a rush and hungry so I rode with it. I found out how they operate through the conversation between the server and I. I asked for fried chicken because it was on the chalk board outside. She said there is no fried chicken so I just looked at what was available. I was unsure of all of the food items available and I just didn't feel like going through the "what is this?" question game. I thought I saw stew chicken so I just went for it hoping I was right. She gave me a head nod so I was right! She asked me if I wanted white rice or rice and peas and then she went back to the hard questions.....What size? So I said small, medium, or large? She said yea $5, $8, or $10. Thank you for a breakdown! I got the $8 plate, waited just a few minutes and soon she called me over to pay and get my food. The $8 plate was a very good size. Enough for me to share some with my mother. The stew chicken and rice came with cabbage and plantain. My mother and I really enjoyed the food....everything except for the plantain. They only get three stars from me for offering fried chicken, but not having it available, and not having a menu. Who doesn't have a menu?! Anywho, the food was very good and personally I would go back.

    Now if you happen to be in the area--or simply feel like summoning it to your door via Uber…read moreEats--this is the spot to experience Trinidad's infamous Bake and Shark. Among the many soigné Trini eateries scattered across Queens, this one layers in just the right accoutrements to truly awaken your palate. The Bake and Shark itself is a revelation: flaky, golden, and impossibly crisp, yet light and ethereal with every bite. Sweet bursts of pineapple weave through the savory richness, striking a perfect balance that transports you straight to the shoreline--sun on your skin, salt in the air, and the rhythm of the Caribbean just beyond the waves. You officially have the Supreme touched.

    Craving a quick bite that's full of flavor? Hit up Trinciti Roti Shop on Lefferts Blvd in Queens…read moreNY. This hidden gem serves traditional Trinidadian food. You can get huge servings, of chicken, beef, shrimp, oxtail, duck, rice and vegetables in lunch and dinner servings sizes. While we do love the complete meals, we came exclusively for the "doubles". These savory pastries pack a flavor explosion that can't be beat. Made of flour and fried, these moist but crispy disks are stuffed with your filling of choice. You can have meat, seafood, veggies or just plain if you are not feeling fancy. After selecting the filling, make sure you ask for " everything " toppings. The toppings consist a healthy slathering of spiced chickpeas, tangy tamarind chutney and spicy pepper sauce. If you can't handle spice, leave out the pepper but without the sauce, the depth of flavor is absolutely lastonishing. I selected one shrimp and onw goat double, my partner in crime filled his with assorted veggies. The vibe is fast paced and super busy so grab a menu, decide what you want and be ready to order when it's your turn. They also sell assorted beverages to help cool you off. I'm studying the menu for my return trip. Enjoy.

    **A MUST VISIT RESTAURANT IN LITTLE GUYANA** **DELICIOUS…read moreFOOD & BAKERY ITEMS** A SPECIAL PART OF QUEENS Spanning about thirty blocks around Liberty Ave in Richmond Hill, is a very interesting neighborhood known as Little Guyana. An area where one of the largest populations of Guyanese immigrants reside in New York, along with others hailing from Trinidad, Jamaica, India, and Asia. As such, it's a bustling Indo-Caribbean mixing pot neighborhood, with - in some areas - a times square vibe. And most importantly, home to multiple restaurants, Carribean bakeries, clothing shops, grocery stores, and even Guyanese style Chinese food restaurants (Yes, that really is a thing!) EXPERIENCE LITTLE GUYANA AT SYBIL'S A fantastic way to start off your exploration of Little Guyana is to visit Sybil's Bakery. Here, Sybil, an expat from Guyana, along with her relatives and children, have been serving Guyanese specialties to the Richmond Hill community for almost 50 years. Offering steam tables filled with fantastic food, Bakery items, and authentic drinks. THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT Ask someone from Guyana, and they'll tell you that Sybil's is a top spot to visit in the neighborhood. Because of this, the restaurant can sometimes become very crowded, with a line spilling out the door, and down the sidewalk. So it's best not to visit during peak times if possible. And as it's a small restaurant with no tables, you must enter, grab a ticket from the dispenser, and then wait for your number to be called. And while waiting, it's a great time to check the various offerings in the steam table area, take a peak at all the bakery items and patties, and peruse the large menu above the counter. And to be honest, because of the large number of choices here, you really need to do this, so you'll have somewhat of an idea what to order when you're called. YOU HAVE TO TRY... Just about everything is delicious here, so all the standard Caribbean dishes, such as Jerk Chicken, Stewed Chicken, Fried Chicken, Oxtail, Curries and sides are all great choices. And then another wonderful item to try here, is Guyanese Pepper Pot, a traditional meat stew with a dark spiced gravy. And don't forget to order a tasty Roti to eat along with any saucy dishes you order. In addition, the fantastic Guyana Style Chinese items, such as the Chow Mein (fried noodles) and Fried Rice - which are my favorite- are seasoned exceptionally well with Caribbean spices, making these dishes hit differently, in comparison to other restaurants. Of course there are regular Jamaican style Beef Patties and Chicken Patties being served here, which are very tasty. But the Guyana style Patties, which are round, and packed full with either beef or chicken, & veg are scrumptious and unique. With these, the crust is more similar to that of a chicken pot pie, and the generous filling is fantastic. Meanwhile, because these are so friggin good, you will see people order them here by the dozen, to take home. So don't pass these up. Another popular choice, especially during lunch, are Sybil's famous Fish Sandwiches and Jerk Chicken Sandwiches. These start out with either fried fish or jerk chicken, along with lettuce, tomato, tartar sauce, another slightly sweet special sauce, and then some hot sauce, on a wonderful, mildly sweet and soft Coco Bread. Sybil's makes these sandwiches here, non-stop all day long, and there's a deliciously good reason why! BUT SYBIL'S IS A BAKERY ALSO! A trip to Sybil's for most people usually entails purchasing food, and then also Guyanese style baked goods. Some items of note, are the fresh Tennis Rolls, a dense, slightly sweet roll famous for being eaten with a nice slab of cheese in between, creating the best cheese sandwich ever. And if you enjoy cheese, the Cheese Roll pastry, the Cheese Pie tart and the Cheese Scone are also wonderful. And some examples of the sweeter style baked goods here, are the famous Guyana Pineapple Tarts and Guava Tarts which are a must try. Along with the Carrot Cake, Cassava Cake, Cherry buns, Coconut Drops, Chinese Cakes, Currant Rolls, and Solara, just to name a few. I LOVE THIS PLACE All in all, Sybil's is not a perfect restaurant. There are no tables to eat-in, it's usually crowded, and the ordering process can feel a bit rushed and intimidating your first time here. Moreover, if your looking for the best Trinidad style Doubles and Roti, then - without a doubt - Trinciti, Trini Delight and Singh's Roti Shop are better destinations. (Look for my previous review of Singh's Roti Shop if you have a chance). But let me tell you, if I am anywhere near Little Guyana, and I'm hungry, It's a good chance that I'm stopping at Sybil's for some of my favorite food and some magical baked items to take home. Because I really love this place, and if you get to know this unique restaurant like I do, I bet you may fall in love also.

It's a fairly large restaurant. We ordered cocktails, few tapas and the steak. I would've ordered another entree but they were out of dish after dish that I would've tried.. well it turned out to be enough food since the omelette dish was so dense and I filled up on bread. The best dish was the shrimp with garlic tapa which I usually wouldn't bother ordering but I've already tried most of the menu. Lots of garlic. Really tasty ..dipped the oil with the bread. We were sitting there for a while, waiting for our drinks and other food but nothing came out so I wanted more bread since I was starving. My first meal that day. One the guys brought more bread for us quickly. The steak and omelette finally came. I would never order the omelette dish but L wanted to try it and it was tapas Tuesday so there was a slight discount. Very bland. Not enough egg, too much potato, very dry so we spooned a lil of the garlic oil from the shrimp dish and it helped a lot. I had a lil but L ate the rest. Salad was good but it was overdressed. The steak was a lil bit bloody in the middle even though we ordered it medium so it wasn't as good as we had it before. We still didn't get our cocktails because the bartender lady kept making margaritas which were only $5 that day instead of our $17 drinks. Someone came past 7:30pm and our waitress said he was gonna make our drinks. The drinks were pretty good but we already finished our food. Usually I would have ordered one of each cocktail at Sala but I was full and had other places to go. The slow service and the unavailability of certain dishes has impacted my recommendation to others but I still like the drinks here and we did enjoy the gambas tapa dish a lot..
