    Manje translates to "eat," so I'd say the mission is pretty clear!…read more A Haitian restaurant in this part of Pennsylvania? Completely unexpected. But what was even more unexpected was just how good it was. Being Haitian American, this is the food I grew up on. It's the cuisine I'm most familiar with, so I don't say this lightly: Manje might be the highest-quality Haitian restaurant I've ever been to. The snapper was top-tier elite. Seasoned perfectly, fried perfectly, and honestly just one of those dishes where you take a bite and immediately know they know what they're doing. I made the rookie mistake of coming in right before closing, so they were out of a few things--including the black rice. But that white rice? Better than 90% of the rice I've probably ever had. Haitians make the best rice. I'm willing to die on that hill. And what made this visit even more memorable was that it wasn't just about the food. The dining space was really nice, and the customer service was excellent. And if you know Haitian restaurants, you know I'm saying a LOT when I point that out. Manje is honestly everything I wish I had in my local town. Great food, a beautiful space, welcoming service, and a menu centered around a cuisine that's near and dear to my heart. An absolute must-stop if you're anywhere near West Chester and looking for Haitian food. Manje understood the assignment.

    Solid food and friendly service. Good portion size, and the food was fresh…read more Not the bets you'll have, but probably the best you can find in the area, which is a bit of a desert for great Caribbean food.

    What I wanted was sexy succulent oxtails were the gravy covers your lips and coats your tongue meat…read moreso tender you don't have to chew just swallow flavor so good you wanna eat your own fingers with rice and peas and juicy sweet plantains I GOTS NONE OF THAT I never had dry oxtail no gravy whatsoever. Tender but not as tender as it could be. The plantains were also dry and hard not really sweet. They left the super big stems from the fresh herbs. The oxtail and plantains were so dry I could swear they were cooked at least a week ahead of time. The rice was okay and so was the patties. I had one beef and one chicken curry. Over all I was so so disappointed and for $25 a platter like I really want my money back. I will never go back. You should always take pride in your food and business.

    I was in Jersey for a concert and was really hungry. I drove around a bit and came across this…read moreJamaican spot; you can imagine how excited I was, since I'm an Island girl. I ordered a side of Jerk chicken, patties and a drink. I could not wait to eat. (Sigh) I was a bit disappointed because the Jerk chicken portions were way too big and it seemed as if they were done in the oven instead of on the grill. Authentic Jamaican Jerk Chicken is not usually served with gravy and this had way too much; it was almost like a stew but with less gravy. I ate it because it was edible but I'm not so sure I'll be back now, I could be nit picking because, like I said, I'm an island girl and I grew up on this type of food so YOU may like it if you end up going here.

    We decided to work away from home for a week in Atlantic City. Glad we did because we heard about…read morethe Simpson restaurant and wanted to try it for dinner. Because it was mid week, it wasn't busy, so we had excellent service. We saw the combo platter online and had to try it. It was more than enough for us to share and we left stuffed! At that price point, it was plenty of food for two or even three people, depending on your appetite. The restaurant was dimly lit, had reggae music playing, TVs, and a lively bar scene. I like that they had different seasonings and sauces for sale as well. Our server was friendly and assured we had the best time. I highly recommend the Simpson restaurant if you are in the New York or New Jersey area.

    I wanted to love this place. But there's was nothing fantastic about it…read more The drinks. I got the rum punch and I believe my partner got 637. Both were ehh. They are like most of the signature drinks there , a dark liquor and a heavy syrup. Some drinks were "sold out" or "no longer being made" on the menu For appetizer we had the jerk shrimp tacos. Again nothing spectacular here. They're served on a white tortilla and flavored w walkers wood. I believe on the side they had some kind of Ortega salsa and a coleslaw. For my meal o ordered the lamb chops cooked medium. The flavor was great. But they were chewy. Same with the ribs. They tasted as tho they were cooked earlier and then put on the plate when you ordered. ( think catered meal like at a wedding, not made fresh to order ) Not what I was expecting for the prices of the plate. The mashed potato's were definitely cooked in water and a heavy white pepper was used that over powered the garlic. The loaded baked potato was a simple warmed up whole potato cut in 4 with melted cheese The ambiance was okay. After eating there I understood why it wasn't as packed as I expected it to be They also have the same songs on repeat. I heard "action" 3 times during dinner Glad I supported. But won't be back.

At first there was no feeling we were in a Jamaican restaurant until they turned on the music. We ordered the reggae platter. It came with 4 choices of meat. Ribs, golden wings, jerk shrimp and jerk chicken. I'm not going to describe each one because they were all amazing. It also came with cornbread, rice, cabbage and plantains. My wife and I have been to Jamaica several times and this food brought us right back to the island. As they say on the island "respect". That's what I say to Morgan's.

We have been here several times now and have ordered the oxtail platter, jerk chicken platter, curry chicken platter as well as a side of mac and cheese. This time we had the Red Snapper Platter. It was great, just wish there was nice snapper for the price. It's a whole snapper bones and all! The portion sizes are very generous and we easily split a large platter between two adults. The platters are served with rice and beans, cabbage, plantains and a piece of corn bread. The chicken is succulent, flavorful, and spicy. The corn bread is among the best I've had and the mac and cheese amazing. The rice and beans was as Caribbean as you're going to get. The only thing I didn't care for is their cabbage or mixed vegetables, because it's bland in comparison to the other food on my plate. The main reason, my reviews forgo a star is the salt content as well as it takes a while to get your order. We usually do take-out, but there is casual dining seating inside as well as outdoor tables.

They have a few tables inside to sit and eat if you're interested. The service is pretty good. The woman behind the counter is quite friendly and was helpful in deciding what I ordered. I spent about $70 and ordered the following: Fried Whiting platter with Yams and Collard Greens Jerk Chicken - just chicken 3 wings and fries Curried Chicken platter with rice and cabbage The fried whiting platter in terms of the fish was a smashing hit. I loved the fish. Seasoned well, no bones, great on the portion size. The candid yams were lacking cinnamon, softness, and taste. Could have been much better along with the seasonless greens. I definitely needed so salt. The Jerk Chicken was too soft to me and didn't have a true jerk taste. After two bites it went in the trash. The 3 wings and fries were good to me. While not actually wings and moreso wingettes they are a good size. Nice and crunchy. The curried chicken ok. The cabbage was lacking season. The rice was ok. Overall if I happened to be in the area I'd only want the fish. Most of the food lacks seasoning and isn't with it to me but the chicken and fish are a hit for me.
