Maybe this was just a case of expectations being too high but sadly this place was a bit of a miss in my books. I'd seen the pictures and the fantastic reviews so naturally I was pumped to eat here. I ordered the plate that is mostly meat, and my friend got a dish that also sounded pretty appetizing (I don't recall the names of either but pictures are attached).
The rice dish was alright. It came with corn bread and a slice of cheese that was quite good. The rice component itself though was only okay. It was a decent medley of sausage and beans; just not good enough that I would order it again. It was pretty plain and tasted like something I would throw together at home from leftovers.
The meat dish was the biggest letdown. Everything ranged from super dry to super chewy. It was a bit of a chore to eat to be honest, and we struggled through it.
I'd like to give this place the benefit of the doubt because it does seem to have a dedicated following, especially among locals. Hopefully next time I'll find something I like better on their menu.
