| - I've only had the Jerk Chicken special (which is discounted on Mondays and Saturdays), but it is plenty good. Every time I have it, it comes out great. I've been to other places where the same dish has been good at times and bad at times, but Tenny's has been consistent to-date.
The jerk seasoning is well balanced and produces a wonderful aroma and taste. The meat below is appropriately juicy. Overall, it is a great use of ingredients that are spicy, but not too much.
The rice (with beans) that the chicken sits on is pretty good. They pour a healthy serving of some spicy broth onto both the rice and chicken (most of it soaks into the rice) and that just adds to the greatness.
The portion is quite a lot if you order the large, and I'm a fan of a filling meal. It also works great split up into two meals.
In terms of cons: we have never wanted to dine in because it looks fairly uninviting. Very few seats and tables with furniture that looks second-hand, and while the gentleman there is nice, he is always watching horse racing. Literally every time, it is all he watches... so yeah, we've always ordered it to go.
Also, it has only been a year, but the price of the specials have gone up twice in that time. I know what inflation is, but this is rising far beyond the CPI. EDIT: August 2012, make that 3 price increases in only like 14 months.
I'd recommend going there, but note that it's just based on one dish. I'll amend my review if I try other things. Give it a try.
