I go to tap for the order. But I notice it says $6. I stop her and correct her, but she says it's an extra dollar for the card. "I don't make the rules, I just work here." Okay, but then I point to the sign. It says "pinetarts" and cheese rolls are $2, not $2.50. She tells me this pineapple tart, this literal pinetart, and which looks exactly like every other pinetart, is "not a pinetart." She doesn't explain what it is. My $4 order had become $6 for no reason. And she got zero because I told her (respectfully) no thanks and left. Between the "I don't make the rules" and "it's not a pinetart" and "it's $2.50" and the "extra dollar charge for the card" -- was everything this person said a lie? Why would you treat your customers this way? Wth.

The lunch specials is about $5.90 it comes with rice, chicken, salad or plantains. The rice is so good and so is the chicken. I normally get the stew chicken option. I also go for the jerk chicken option as well. Either way, you can't go wrong with whatever you get. It's so good! The service is okay. It's a Caribbean restaurant so I'm never expecting the best customer service. They are nice. lol. They have chairs and the restaurant itself is nice and calm for a take out spot. If you haven't tried them, and you're in the area, check them out. They also have oxtail patties that were some of the best I've ever had. They're a bit pricey tho i think at $9. But it's real good. Sorry i never take pics cuz im always bussing it down lol. Maybe next time. I'll be back maybe Friday lol.

This restaurant is right in my neck of the woods! Used to be called McBeans, but now rebranded as…read more"StarSpice". The other day I was given the curry chicken and fried rice and it was pretty decent. The rice was very good and carried the meal it alone I would give a 8/10. From trying that I was eager to go inside and try more. I went recently and saw that they have jerk pork (which I love), but only on Fridays and Saturdays. Ironically it was a Friday, so I was lucky. The restaurant itself was very clean and there is some seating so you can sit indoors. I've also been looking for a place that sells Chow mein as well and I was glad that it was sold here. I got the jerk pork, Chow me in (had to pay extra) and salad. The portion was very generous. They packed it up tight and added condiments. I even got to try a piece of their sorrel cake, and it was GOOD. The jerk pork I would give an 8/10 and the chow mein a 7/10. Upon getting home, I was anxious to try it. With the first bite, it was very tender and fell off the bone. It was well seasoned and tasty. I took it slowly because I didn't want to finish it fast. The Chow me in was okay, I feel like it needed a bit more seasoning. Overall, I would come back here! And did you know they have a $5 lunch special?!? From Monday - Saturday?! That's amazing! Thank you for having me StarSpice! Until we meet again!

Don't fight me, it may not be better but it's different. You can come for patties but when you look at the menu your Haitian ancestors force you to add more to your order. The Akasan (AK-100) tastes great and is a lighter consistency than Crémas (without alcohol). I'd get the Herring patty if I were you, it's fish but with a kick. There's also cod patty, and beef if you want to be safe. Get a dozen at least, you're welcome. Customer service: can be off putting at first, but be firm with your order and don't be indecisive. Confidence and assertiveness will change the interaction for the better. Good: Acassan/Akasan!!! Herring Patty Beef Patty $10 minimum for credit card payment

A Jamaican establishment that's managed to turn island cuisine into an episode of "Survivor:…read moreRestaurant Edition." As someone who drew their first breath to the rhythm of reggae and the scent of scotch bonnet peppers, I felt compelled to give this spot a second chance after years of passing by - a decision I now rank somewhere between getting bangs and investing in cryptocurrency. The food exists in that peculiar culinary limbo between "not quite terrible" and "definitely not good" - imagine if your grandmother's leftovers had their own leftovers, then decided to start a food truck. It's the kind of fare one might consume at 3 AM after a night out, when even a microwaved sock might seem appetizing with enough jerk sauce While I appreciate their valiant attempt at hygiene with signs warning patrons not to conduct impromptu taste tests or deliver soliloquies over the steam trays, the real theater begins at checkout. Picture this: you've filled your container, feeling rather pleased with your selections, only to discover their unique "pricing algorithm." The cashier performs what can only be described as a CSI-level investigation of your container's contents, weighing and scrutinizing it like a customs agent who's had too much coffee. The piece de resistance? You might walk in expecting to pay for a simple weighted portion but end up financing what feels like a down payment on a small island nation - all because you dared to take half a fish instead of committing to the whole aquatic enterprise. At $40 for less than a pound of food, you're not just paying for dinner; you're investing in what might be Jamaica's most ambitious economic recovery program. Suffice it to say, my wallet and I have decided to consciously uncouple from Code 1414. As we say in Jamaica, "mi done wit dat" - or in food critic speak, "I shall take my culinary adventures elsewhere, where my bank account isn't treated like a lottery winning."

Edited: Worst…read moreexperience ever. Being treated as less than human is a demeaning feeling, made worse by watching older Haitian men and women siding with the staff and making excuses for the blatant lack of professionalism. I've known of Papa Karl/Carl since 2012. As a Haitian, I feel a duty to support our businesses, but this establishment's reputation for hostility and absurd wait times is unfortunately well-earned. After avoiding the "plague" of this place for years, I gave them another chance this month. On 1/12/26, the staff actually insulted my aunt for leaving a $2 tip. On 1/17/26, I returned at 8:00 PM and waited over an hour. When I asked for a simple ETA because I had to be in Queens, the employee dismissed me entirely and started serving the person behind me. Worst of all, other customers began co-signing this behavior, telling me they had been waiting too and making excuses for the delay. I had to address a man behind me to remind him that where I spend my money is 100% within my control. When they finally tried to hand me the food after I demanded a refund, the employee was smiling as if she hadn't just dehumanized me. I refused the food and took my money. If you value your time and your dignity, do not eat here. We must stop making excuses for businesses that do not respect their own people.
