Ackee and Saltfish...see all the grease in between the 2 dumplings
M P.

Simply said, very very small portion of ackee, while its spread out on the bottom of the tin, made to look adequate, while the hard food (dumpling, banana and yam) are placed on the topside giving it the full appearance. Lots of grease (see the picture.) on the positive side, I can attest to the fact that the food is good.

Ginger  turmeric drink

This is a bigger bottle than what I usually buy . But I promise you it's worth it ! Look up the health benefits for " ginger turmeric " drinks . Ask them to educate you on the different drinks they have. You'd be surprised what a simple drink as such can do for your body. Support your local businesses. You won't be disappointed with The Scotch Bonnet Kitchen drinks You can feel the gingers kick in your throat a little so if you don't like spice, be careful but that's my favorite part that's how you know it's working

the food was pretty good. i had the oxtail with mac and cheese and cabbage. the cabbage was a bit greasy and made my stomach hurt a bit but the oxtail was very tender and the mac cheese was pretty good as well. the service was nothing special and not the most helpful but she was not rude. not much of an ambiance. more of an in and out spot.

It was my first time trying this spot out. I don't really eat Jamaican food often, it's very rare but this was a grab and go spot, no dining it. The customer service was really cool and helpful, she helped me choose because everything on the menu looked good, it was hard to choose. The place was very clean, maybe recently renovated. Artwork on the wall was really nice as well. The wait time wasn't that long, I decided to get curry chicken, macaroni & cheese, rice & peas with oxtail gravy on the rice, and a veggie patty. I was very satisfied with my entire order. Everything was full of flavor and exceeded my expectations! The pricing was very fair as well, overall very satisfied!

Hands down, the best caribbean food in the Mercer area. I've tried plenty of other spots and Scotch Bonnet met all of my expectations regarding my meal. I'm looking forward to visiting again the next time I'm in town. I ordered the red snapper with rice and beans, cabbage, and plantains. The plantains were cooked the way I like, not hard.

I was in Ewing, NJ for work and randomly chose this restaurant for the oxtails. I'm so glad I did! They were moist and very well seasoned.

Great food!! Best to call and order in advance since at the POS the wait is usually 15-20 minutes. But....it's worth the wait.

I thought this place was great. My parents live around the corner so I grabbed some when I was visiting one time. I'll definitely be back.

This restaurant was a clean, bright space with a good selection of Caribbean drinks and snacks…read more Maybe 5 or 6 eat-in tables as you enter. The woman who took my order was great. Ordered 4 deconstructed rotis: 2 chicken and potato, a goat and a jerk chicken. 3 with paratha root and 1 with buss up shut. All were super tasty-deep and (not too) spicy flavor, really good sized portions (it gave me 3 meals) and packed nicely. substitutes for the curried potatoes that typically go along with the meal are available. I would personally get the buss up shut variety of roti or opt for the wrapped version in the future the chickpea filling was quite messy due to my error of ripping it. A very satisfying meal nonetheless. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other offerings.

Was back a third time and on this visit ordered the snapper plate. Holy cow, this was Awesome!!!…read moreLovely plating presentation, wonderfully prepared and so incredibly tasty. At first I was humm, how to approach a whole fish, where to start and the bones... don't even worry. I plastic fork and knife I just gently started along the back of the fish behind the head and the meat fell off the skeleton, the meat was juicy and so tasty. Just be mindful it's a fish and there are bones-- easy to see and pull out. My dish sides included rice and beans, cooked cabbage and fried plantains. Spectacular dinner.

My grandma is very specific with what Latin American/Caribbean foods she's willing to try, apart from her own, and she has given La Casona her stamp of approval.

The soups as soon as you open the containers, makes you gag. Look at the color of the chicken. (BLACK and Raw). Then they claim that their empanadas taste like Puerto Rico. Sorry to tell you, your empanadas are not even close to a puertorrican empanada. There's no seasoning on the meat. Like you just opened a bag of ground beef, put it in the pan and that's it. Here are some pictures so you can see yourselves. We are great cooks, we know how food tastes and looks. I give you a -10. $43.00 down the toilet. PS... If I was you, I'll close the restaurant.
