Every time I drive down Edmonton Trail, I see the sign for Joycee's and I think, "Ok! I'm stopping in there next time!" And then the next time I'm driving by, I think the same thing... and again. Well, no more!
Joycee's is part convenience-ish store part kitchen. I hesitate to call it a restaurant, it's more take out food, but there is a high counter with chairs to sit at if you need. The menu is written on a chalk board behind the counter. Jamaican patties, rotis or platters with different meat choices (curried goat, beef, chicken, etc.) rice and peas or white rice. Meals with meat come with the bone still in there and most range from $12.50-$14.00. Remeber to grab a Sof Drink (that's right, no t) from the back fridge
While you wait for your food, roam the 4 aisles. Bitters, rose water, condensed milk, spices and rubs... those are what I noticed. Plenty of other products as well that I need to learn more about. Oh, and cod liver oil above the back counter. I thought that was only something people took like 200 years ago?? I've only read about it in books!
Anyway, take my lead and stop driving by Joycee's thinking you'll stop in next time. It's worth pulling up for.
Tip: It's a laid back atmosphere and no one's in a hurry. And come hungry. My curried goat dish filled me up for 2 different meals!
