Saint Bess Jerk Hub — Restaurant in Norwich

The first time I went there the food was delicious. The most recent time it was the complete opposite. I got a medium a stew chicken which was flavorless, the rice was hard and also flavorless. Then my mom got a medium oxtail. The menu said it $16. There was a sign showing prices are different than the menu but when I got my receipt I noticed a $22 charge. When I called they stated they believe that price is right. Like you either know it’s right or you don’t. He stated the prices changes which I understand. But a price increase should be reasonable. $16 to $18 seems reasonable. $16 to $22 seems very unreasonable especially when you get 2 oxtails. Overall very disappointed in not only The food but the prices. I spent $60 for a medium stew chicken, medium oxtails, 2 patties and 2 drinks. Take 5 minutes and use a sharpie to go through your menus and change the prices. As you can see my food which I got last night remains untouched. The missing spot on the plate was cornbread . Which is the...

I stumbled across an article in The Day about Saint Bess Jerk Hub yesterday and my husband and I made dinner plans immediately! I'm always looking out for new restaurants in the area but somehow I missed Saint Bess's. My husband got the jerk chicken and mac n cheese, I got the oxtail plate with collard greens and we both got a beef pattie...yum! Seriously, I could eat a plate of just the collard greens, they were amazing. I tried my husband's chicken and I thought it had great texture, and he really loved the mac n cheese. The gentleman that helped us (owner I think?) asked if we wanted medium, and at the time I thought he was talking portion size. After we got home we realized he might have been talking about heat level. If they add heat, we'll be doing that next time. They also sell their jerk sauce to take home, which is awesome. The guy that helped us was so nice and the I loved the music and decor. We'll be...

If I had to select one place to eat at for the rest of my life. It would most definitely be St Bess's. I have quite literally blown all my money here one time or another. I have tried the Jerked chicken, Fried chicken, Oxtail, Curry Goat and several other things. I sometimes struggle to pick between the Dark Jerk and the Curry Goat, it's like picking a career in life, Not easy.

The sides here are the best thing I have ever eaten. The Collard greens are stewed with a shank of what I assume to be beef. this imparts a savory flavor that makes you want to eat more. The mac and cheese is creamy and just gets better the longer you eat it. The cabbage stir fry makes me want to rent an apartment next door. The folks here were selling their jerk sauce for awhile and I put it on every meal I ate for almost a month.

I am constantly comparing other places to St Bess's and nothing even remotely compares. I...
