Solid Caribbean food. I am a fan of this type of food, and this place was not as good as some of the other places serving Caribbean food. It's still good though, and especially unique for the Wilkinsburg area. I tried the beef meat patty and the brown stew chicken with a side of rice and peas along with plantains.
I thought the meat patty was quite good. It had an extremely lovely, crispy, and buttery outside. It's filled with a fair amount of well cooked beef and even a few vegetables. It was a bit spicier than I expected. The size was good for the price of just $4 or so.
The brown stew chicken was also quite good. However, I would say the portion of meat is not the greatest. More than half of the plate was just the rice, when I thought half of the plate would be meat. That's fine by me since I enjoy the rice more than chicken, but for most people it would be disappointing. The meat quality was fair, but it had lots of skin and tons of bones, so not the greatest portion. But, the chicken was flavorful and had a decent texture although a bit dry.
The plantain portion was extremely small. But, you are able to chose 2 sides for free with your meal, so that is nice. The small bits of plantains were tasty and sweet, although they seemed almost a bit oily.
The rice was very good. They give you a very large portion of it as well! I really enjoyed the flavor as well. It was not too oily and went well with the chicken. I wish there was more gravy to soak the rice with. It came with peas which are actually beans, and I'm overall satisfied.
All in all, this is a decent place. It's especially good and stands out in Wilkinsburg. The brown stew chicken is solid but the meat portion itself is not that big. Good sides. Solid but...

I spoke to a older gentleman before I got my food who I believe is the owner so he quickly changed my way of perceiving the cashier cuz she rubbed me the wrong way before I even got thru the door then after he left she did that with the change I’m like NO that is HER personality to my surprise there was two other customers who were dissatisfied with her as well I would have felt better dropping that change in my car door. also they could have told me their Mac & cheese is spicy 😳 I brought it for my 3 yr old 🙄 EVERYONE DOESN’T...
