I went to Chez Ali's at the Foundry since I was in the mood for jerk chicken, and it tasted okay,…read morebut like a lot of reviewers on this site found that quantity was the problem and not so much the quality of the jerk chicken. The seasoning was fine on the jerk chicken although I've had juicer and tastier jerk chicken elsewhere. But I had a problem when I discovered they only gave me one little chicken leg, (that was slightly dried out) along with three pieces of chicken back meat which was like three small pieces, almost morsels. However, the two sides that came with the jerk chicken that were rice & beans along with boiled cabbage tasted good and plentiful so I didn't leave hungry but I'd still say the amount of chicken left me wanting more. I won't likely be going back to this place especially with so many quality dining choices at the foundry. The foundry building is very cool and my server at the counter was okay as well. But although the food tasted decent I wasn't floored by anything about this restaurateur at the foundry STL.

The workers were also friendly and helpful. It was my first time in St. Louis and at the Foundry, and it was my only ordered meal in the city (short trip). So glad it was this satisfying. My only "complaint" is that small bones hide a bit in the food, but just be careful while eating and you're fine.

I felt like a bull in a China shop trying to come down Bowen to park on Michigan since that is how my GPS directed me to this place. I wasn't sure that they were open at first as when I opened the door, I felt like they were not ready to serve customers as they looked at me with a puzzled look at first. lol I literally came here to try Jamaican Sorrel since I had plan on making some for a best friend's wedding next month and wanted to try some authentic Jamaican Sorrel to make sure I was aligned with how it SHOULD taste. They had some on hand but unfortunately were only taking cash or CashApp that day. I do not carry cash, but thankfully had a CashApp to pay for my drink which was almost $9. I would have been so mad that I made that trek over there with no cash or CashApp to pay for the one thing I needed that day. I will have to come back and try their food some other time. It smelled really good!

My cousins had the lamb chops - omg they were so delicious- the seasoning was incredible! The whole place has such a great vibe - they had some music playing which can be a little loud. I recommend going to check out Bliss and enjoying a fabulous meal.

I came Sunday for brunch and it appears the menus are different. What you see online is different than what they offer as far as the drinks. No bottomless mimosas, just a tower for $70. The service was very slow and I was upset that it took forever to receive a mimosa tower. Over 40 minutes. We canceled and ordered different drinks. So frustrating that I won't go too deep into it. The food was so good. I'd return because of the food and ambiance. The DJ was on point. We also had a large party so maybe next time, I'll come with a group of 4 or less. They charge gratuity no matter what. I still gave a little more but whatever. I hope the serve will be better next time cause everything else was fire.

But it's all good and we all smile through. Took my brother Sunday night while he was in town cause he lives in a less diverse area and craves city access to all the thing. As soon as he said let's get Jamaican I began craving a meat pie. Have mercy I love them! They ain't playing with the spice either so I keep drinks handy. Ended up ordering one meat pie and a bowl of the soup of the day. It was red bean soup he said. But wow the depth of flavors and textures, it should get a better name! Love it and happily ate it all! The meat pie took longer of course to come out and they weren't kidding it was hot! Loved it and shared a tiny bite (cut off) with bro whose eyebrows lifted in joy. He had the jerk chicken plate and ate every dang bit! I have had wings, goat curry, jerk chicken, curry chicken, rum punch and lots more on other visits and had always left happy & full. The folks who work here are good folks and enjoy seeing others enjoy the food they prepare. On nice days there are a few tables out front, good to sit there except at rush hour cause you are next to the street. They do a lot of to go service so you will see a steady stream of folks in and out.

The owner & staff made us feel super welcome & seemed excited to answer the questions we had about the food. Ambiance was nice, they were playing instrumental music that kept the vibe chill & we ate outside at a table with an umbrella which was super nice so we could sprawl out as we ate ourselves in to a food coma.

I should have tried it on the jerk chicken, but even without sauce, the chicken was so flavorful on its own. The sides were just as impressive: the greens and cabbage were perfectly seasoned, and the yams were so sweet and rich they could have been a dessert. We always judge a soul food spot by the greens, and these were top-notch! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with plenty of outdoor seating and friendly staff. Pick-up orders are convenient, and don't miss their house-made slushes--the strawberry and sweet tea mix is a must-try.

While they moved to a new location which I have not been to due to my previous experiences, I stand by my original review (was posted on Google a while back and just transferred it here recently) unless they changed their recipes! I'm sure many people may find this place good, but as someone born and raised in Puerto Rico, I can confirm this isn't (or wasn't if recipes changed) authentic.
