I come to this place very often and buy food because it's in my neighborhood and the food is good. I rated the food a 4 because on my last visit I ordered the macaroni salad and when I got home to eat the macaroni was so hard it was not cooked. I know the difference from al dente and raw. That macaroni was not cooked. I was very disappointed because I wasted my $8.99
Smokey island grill is the only spot I know of where you can create your own plate. For West Indian cuisine, that’s huge because sometimes I don’t want to pick between oxtails, curry goat, jerk, pork, etc. with how much inflation has increased the cost of meat… I love that I can get a little of everything for a decent price in the food is always cooked well. The menu is really large also. They have jerk, fish, fried fish, all of the sides you can imagine, it’s just really good food. The place is small, but I’m not going to eat at West Indian spots. Anyway I usually get my food to go so the coziness of the space doesn’t bother me. They also have homemade juices, and baked goods which are really good. Parking is tough, since it is right on Fulton Street. But if you don’t have someone to sit in the car while you run in and grab your food, it’s definitely worth driving around and finding some parking.
