This memorial day weekend was all about getting rained out events and we were hanging at home kind…read moreof dreary, trying to figure out how to save the day and couldn't figure out any food groups that really jumped out of us. My wife spent over an hour searching for places and stumbled upon scotch bonnet kitchen. We think we heard of a place through the chef and owner Todd of Roti plus Trinidadian restaurant a couple miles away where we're regulars We decide we have nothing to lose and only to gain, and I'm glad that we did make the decision as it ended up being a really good surprising meal I understand a lot of these types of ethnic food. Restaurants are takeout only and we would of course prefer to stay out after being in the house all day, but regardless bringing the food home didn't change anything. It was delicious. So what did we order? I had the stewed snapper with plantains and cabbage. It was cooked to perfection. The meat fell right off the skeleton. My wife had a meat pie, the macaroni and cheese, and then she started digging into my dish as well, which is a good thing Unfortunately, we did not take any food photos, but it was a work of art and just as tasty and we will certainly be back. Need to try the oxtail and or the goat dishes. Very friendly staff helpful with this couple questions that we had for the part that we could see of the establishment very clean well organized seem to have a good system and the best part of all they were busy. That's a good sign means the food is tasty and food is fresh and more importantly food's going out the door so it's constantly being replenished. See you again real soon

Was in the area and decided to try it for lunch…read more Food- 7.5/10 - wasn't as authentic for me. And too much gravy soaking rice. Customer service- 3/10!!! Was handed a menu on a phone. No greeting when you walk in, only a fork given, they had no knives. Restaurant was hot and not properly ventilated. Table where I wanted to sit at was dirty along with near by ones. Had to ask the lady to clean it before dining in. Parking on this street is hard to find so I parked a block away and walked Tbh Not sure I would be back as I know of other Jamaican spots in the area eg Walker or Scotch Bonnet.

I'd heard a lot about brown stew chicken and it was so flavorful, filling and goes so well with the plantain -- a little sweet, a little spicy, & just so comforting. The restaurant has a pretty large dining area, but was quiet midday when we came. Overall, looking forward to going back :)

My only advice is to call ahead, if you decide to place an order in the location there is a long wait . I usually get the soups , jerk chicken, ox tail and curry goat all appetizing.

Because we ordered through DoorDash, I was able to specify the parts of the chicken I wanted. One thing I can say, they were not stingy with the food or sides at all. The stew chicken was cooked well. For the rice and peas, they used the right type of rice (IYKYK). The Mac and cheese was not baked (with a crunchy top) but was a nice side. This was the best Jamaican food I have had outside of my home.

Welp! What a disappointment. My family and I frequent this restaurant quite often when we are in…read morethe mood for Jamaican cuisine. This time was not that great. I ordered the meals via door dash pickup online and when I told the staff my order they had difficulty finding my order. That was the first issue. Before I could get the full word "door dash" out she blurted out that they did not confirm the order as if it was a delivery order. The next issue was that they ran out of jerk chicken. The man told me that there is some cooking in the oven and that it would be ready in 5 minutes. I was cool with that. At least I knew the food would be fresh. Problem! He lied the jerk chicken would not be ready in 5 min instead it was ready in 45 min. I should have cancelled my order and asked for a refund but I continued to wait. There were no apologies for the wait time or the rude customer service. When I got home to begin eating I noticed that they did not give us a substantial portion of meet. It was mainly bones. I felt like I definitely got ripped off. Also, I think they changed the recipe of the sauce for the jerk chicken because it was really sweet and tangy instead of being spicy. I don't think I will be back unfortunately. This is not the first time that I have had a bad experience at this restaurant. Whether its them running out of food, order not being ready for pickup, or bad customer service..it is always something. It is time to find another local Jamaican restaurant in the area. If you have any recommendations please send them my way! Cheers!

My order was a veggie platter, which I always order when I'm in the area. Your employee who was scrolling refused me service! I "always" pay for my entire order. I "never" ask for anything free...

I was calm and never once raised my voice! She was loud and rude, and your other employee looked at her sideways. The one other customer in the store was like How did this escalate?"
