E & J Tropical Jerk & Seafood — Restaurant in New York

The food was good at first a few years ago but the curry goat runs my stomach. The female staff can be rude. The slim dark skin one is nasty she has a bad mind. The fried chicken is top tier. Male staff is nice. So I stopped in to place an order recently, while the male server was assisting someone I watched as the slim dark skinned one bypassed my order and concerned herself with the other gentleman's order just so she did not make mine. She looked right at it and found other things to concern herself with. After the male server starts my order she then jumps in ahead of him to start someone else's order (I dont know or even care if she's the manager)Though my order consisted of similar items as the person after me she told the woman after giving her almost all of the items we don't have anymore. I then asked what about my order that was actually placed and purchased prior to the woman. He acknowledged the legitimacy of concern and she dismissed it. He tried his best to provide some level of offering given the situation which i appreciate. The other patron said she's not fighting over food. It's not fighting over food it's principle. When someone plays in your face your expected to turn a blind eye. I said years ago I would not purchase from this establishment again due to the quality of the food this sealed the deal. I made sure to give him a decent tip but I will NEVER dine at this establishment ever again. Thank you to the kind server for showing appreciation of...

Every time this bald headed guy with the beard works there my chicken is raw. I had a bad experience today. I returned my chicken because the marrow of my chicken was a vibrant red and my chicken had cold parts when i bit into it. Which means the chicken wasn’t cooked. I had to go back and return it and the worker who is responsible for grilling the chicken didn’t even have the decency to apologize. I didn’t even cause a scene because I actually like to buy food from there. And he acts like he doesn’t want to be there. He has one job is it hard to do well? When i got my food the cabbage had a weird smell and I feel like he did something to it out of spite because the cabbage didn’t smell like that when i first got my order. I have been there and heard another customer complain about with the same issue ..RAW CHICKEN. You can get people sick and its disgusting they have someone like him working there. All the other workers cook well and I usually enjoy the food all and all. But he needs to at least try to do his job right because he is bad for business. The cashier was very pleasant that I dealt with today but he is a mess I am soo grossed out I couldn’t even eat my food. I will never eat here again knowing that...

I get it, its a small local business and I should try my best to help them, which I am doing by writing this comment with the hope that they will improve from what my criticisms. My issue is with the set up. The chairs are basically over used. They are broken, Yes broken Black chairs in the store for patrons to use. I get it, its a small local business but please at least respect us who are coming in making you money but buying second hand less use chairs. These chairs are like they've been through World War 1 and somehow managed to survive world war 2 and the Cold war, Vietnam and freaking Iraq 1 and 2. They look like your grand ma old car with seats falling off and holes everywhere. Have you ever been to the mechanic? Yes their chairs are exactly like the chairs at the mechanics. Man you really have to look arouns which light worst and extremely worst. I'm not even going through the other things, but if your chairs are this bad, then what about the places you keep the food at? What about behind the counter, away from what WE can see? Anyways imma...
