  • Despite being black, my experience with Jamaican cuisine is lacking, so on recommendation of an actual Jamaican, I decided to try out Pat's Homestyle Jamaican Restaurant. Pat's is a very small establishment, with modest seating and an old school vibe. In the dimly lit interior you'll see posters of a handful of individuals that speak to North American black culture, from oldies like Mohammed Ali, to new kids like Husein Bolt. (And just to keep you on your toes, they tossed in Wayne Gretzky.) From the outset, I had my eyes on their oxtail dish, but to satisfy this carbload day I also picked up a good old fashion Jamaican beef patty and a pastry called festival. For about $15, the large oxtail comes with a fair amount of seasoned rice, oxtail swimming in gravy, and coleslaw. This dish can be summed up as comfort food that your mom would have made (were she a Jamaican woman). It's all made ready-to-order, but that's really an after-thought, especially when it comes to the oxtail meat itself. The meat is served in chunks, still attached to the bone, and in a pool of savoury, but not overly heavy gravy. If I had the power to hand out culinary awards, this oxtail would get the slip-off-the-bone award, because fall-off-the-bone does not do this meat justice. Pat's obviously takes its time letting that oxtail marinate to give you a juicy bite, with a tasteful amount of fat. The dish also comes with a side of decent coleslaw. My final thought is that though the dish wasn't quite "delicious", it was for sure tasty, and aggressively satisfying. To comment on the sides, the beef patty was as standard as a patty gets. To be honest, I would have hoped for something a little more interesting, because it's not inconceivable that they get these from a grocery store. In no way bad. Just basic. Lastly, came the festival, which is a 5 inch cylindrical pastry, that's slightly sweet and served warm. No fault to Pat's, but festival in general appears to be no big deal, and I don't know why I've heard so many Jamaicans mention it. So should you come to Pat's? Damn right if you want belly warming Jamaican food with a home style feel. Just put your faith in the main dishes rather than the sides.
