| - Fireside is one of those no frills places where you know you will get a solid Jamaican meal. I am a huge fan of caribbean food, and have had quite my share. This place hits the spot for me. I've had their jerk wings, not the hot wings. They are braised in jerk sauce/gravy, not fried or baked, and the sauce is delicious. They're large in size, not small and scrappy. Personally, I prefer a lot more heat when it comes to jerk spice/flavor, and I don't get that with theirs', but you won't catch me not crushing them for this reason! The oxtail is tender and unctuous, with thick, (not watery!) full bodied gravy. And that beef patty, wow, probably the best I've ever had being that it's made in house and not warmed up from a packet in the freezer (which I don't mind either). The take out box that includes the protein with rice and peas, and veggies on the side, weighs at least 5 pounds, maybe more. I have never been able to down it in one sitting, it's so plentiful. Can definitely feed two, so quite the bang for your buck. They don't have take out menus, so don't ask! I did my first time there, and was given a "you must be crazy" look by the lady working the counter. They accept credit cards. Every time I'm in there, I see people of all kinds of backgrounds. So word travels, and they know what's up. I recommend ordering in advance and taking out. Can't wait to try their breakfast!
