I've been on a quest for a while to find great Jamacan Food in Pittsburgh. Needless to say my quest is still on going.
My wife had wanted to try this place for a while so I finally gave in so she could stop nagging me. This is more of a to go place as there is only one or two small circular tables with a couple of chairs to eat at. The place is a dive but, the painted walls are pretty cool though.
I ordered three orders of jerk chicken dinners to go. Two hot and one mild for our daughter. Each dinner came with legs and thigh meat, plantains, greens and rice and peas. About 20 minutes and almost $40 later my food was ready. It smelled great. I flew home so we could ding in. If only it tasted as good as it smelled.
The jerk flavor was overly spicy and just too much. It made the chicken almost inedible. The jerk seasoning was almost paste like and really thick. The poor wings looked like they came from a baby bird. The plantains were dry and had little to no flavor at all. The greens were good and the rice and peas were ok though. I went in the early evening after work so maybe it was just an off day. I don't know.
My quest continues....
