| - Summary: simple takeout spot has some of the best chicken sandwiches and coco bread I've ever tried, but wait times can get long, and the other dishes are not as mouth-wateringly delicious
Top Must-Get: chicken sandwich
Top Regret: jerk pork
Located right beside KFC and down the road from Popeye's - it says a lot that this small takeout place still gets lineups for its chicken. It's a cramped space - you sort of just bunch up in the best line you can make when it's busy, and then order at the window. It can be a long wait since it's a small shop, but during down times, it's fairly efficient.
Their chicken sandwich meat is stripped right off the leg of a chicken, and it is absurdly tender and tasty. I get it without the coleslaw so that nothing detracts from the juicy chicken taste, properly flavoured, as I bite into it. Delicious.
They also have superior coco bread than other local Jamaican places - it's got a tinge of sweetness that just tickles the tastebuds right, and it's noticably less dry than others.
However, their jerk pork is missing the same legendary calling of their chicken. I also think their patties are comparable to supermarket-bought ones, so they aren't necessarily amazing (although not bad either - I have had the patty in coco bread a few times!)
The other dishes are decent if not spectacular. I recall feeling a bit let down at their dinner portions: a hefty amount of rice, but not a proportionate amount of meat.
That said, it's worth a visit if only for their chicken sandwich.
