I placed an order online to go on Friday afternoon. I arrived at a huge parking lot with plenty of…read morespace. Since I was getting my food to go, I went to the "pick up" door, so at some point I'd like to see what the restaurant looks like. I got there maybe 5 minutes before my predicted pickup time was but luckily food was ready! The person working immediately came to help me, and then asked if I needed utensils and things, so overall nice service. The pick up area is quite small but as I was the only one in there and was able to grab and go quickly no complaints. Food was warm and fresh! I got the poutine with kielbasa. I was pleasantly surprised by the fried cheese curds, the fries were good, and there was a decent amount of meat! I also got the banana pudding, which was a good standard banana pudding I can expect from a bbq place. I'll definitely be back to try their fried chicken sandwich, or potentially sit in their actual restaurant.

Even was able to buy some of their barbecue sauce and rub that they sell pre-bottled at the counter. It's also worth mentioning that these ribs are not your normal size ribs, in most cases I would say a half rack would fill one person. Definitely give this place a try whenever you're in the New Haven area.

Shante's Plate was $3.50 more, extra fried pork chop was $1.00 more, plain deviled eggs were $2.50 more, dark meat chicken was $1 more.

I know the price of food has gone up significantly lately, but clearly no one has updated the prices on their website. Bad business practice.....

WOW!! Sunday Dinner Everyday is truly a hidden gem and a blessing to the Wooster Street community…read more This Black-owned Caribbean spot just opened up not too long ago and I'm so glad I got a chance to check it out while I was in town. To start off, the vibes here are IMMACULATE. They were playing all the nostalgic dancehall and Caribbean music mixed in with more recent island-inspired jams. Such a fun place to grab lunch or dinner! I can really see this place becoming one of the new hot spots in Wooster. Apart from the atmosphere, the staff was extremely friendly and kind. The person I spoke to helped me pick out my lunch special and recommended some favorites to try. I stopped by in the afternoon and ordered their curry chicken lunch special. The food is reasonably priced, especially compared to NYC prices. At first glance the lunch special looks small but it was SO MUCH food! I was in heaven! They really pack in a generous serving. The plantains were perfectly crispy and caramelized and the rice and peas (really rice and beans) was beyond flavorful. They definitely cook the rice in some type of broth. Now on to the star of the show! The curry chicken! Wow! The chicken was tender and practically falling off the bone. It was so delicious and flavorful. I asked for extra gravy and the server was so nice and really spooned a generous amount of that liquid gold over everything. I loved that the curry had a slight kick but wasn't spicy. All in all the food was delicious and I know exactly where I'm headed the next time I'm in the Wooster St area. Do yourself a favor and check them out! Oh and I paired my meal with a cold bottle of ginger beer. It was quite the feast. They have a large selection of various Jamaican/ Caribbean classic beverages. It doesn't look like they have appetizers like meat pies and festivaals. However they just opened up so I'm sure the menu will be expanding. They have jsut a small number of tables but I imagine they'll continue adding more seating. It's so hard to find Caribbean food in New Haven and I'm beyond thrilled that this place opened up!

Overall, the food was really good and exactly what I'd expect from a family-owned Korean restaurant--comforting, flavorful, and made with care. The soft tofu soup was satisfying, the garlic fried chicken wings were crispy, and the seafood pancake had a great taste and texture with a nice crispness throughout. My only minor critique is that I wish there had been a bit more seafood in the pancake, but it was still very delicious overall. One thing that really stood out was the hospitality. They brought out a complimentary steamed egg dish for my daughter, which was incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated. Small gestures like that really make a difference. The atmosphere was comfortable, the service was warm and attentive, and the overall dining experience was excellent. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

Ribs: not meaty at all what was there was not tender. The sauce was fine. Fries: I was told they cut the fries fresh themselves. That's believable however I don't think they were cooked to order. A bit soggy. Corn bread: was more like corn cake. I like cornbread with some texture. My friend had the ribs too with sides of corn and Cole slaw. Apparently those sides were pretty good. Four stars for the staff and two stars for the food.
