Fern Gully Grill

Located in a plaza along Powerline Rd., Fern Gully Grill offers the typical Jamaican cuisine at reasonable prices such as:

• Chicken - curry, brown stew, bbq, fried
• Jerk - chicken & pork
• Oxtail & curry goat
• Fish - brown stew & fried
• Sides & soups
• Vegetarian dishes
• Breakfast - ackee, callaloo, saltfish, porridge
• Cold beverages & natural juices

The restaurant was clean with adequate table seating for customers, and had a colorful decor. I greeted two females that were behind the counter and after overlooking the menu displayed on the wall, I decided to order a medium brown stew chicken which was served with my choice of rice & peas and steamed cabbeage. Within five minutes, one of the females placed the food in a container, graciously added sauce over the rice, and hamded it to the other female who took my payment. Now when I'm having Caribbean food I love to have some fried plantains on the side. I found it odd that it wasn't served with the food...this was a first. They sold 3pcs of fried plantains for $1 so I asked for that.

Here's my impression of the food as I got home:

• Brown stew chicken - was tender and browned in a flavorful sauce
• Rice & peas - nicely cooked to a soft consistency. The sauce from the chicken made it taste so much better
• Steamed cabbage - had a bit of a crunch to it and was lightly seasoned
• Fried plantains - fried nicely and was sweet...just how I like 'em

Thoroughly enjoyed the food. I must come back to try other dishes that I usually does order at Jamaican restaurants
