Since I had my dog with me, we had to order and pick up takeout. The food was ready right when they said it would be. The curry goat is delicious! I love goat, and this was the best I've had in many years. It was so tender and the level of spice is perfect. I loved the plantains (not overly sweet) and the peas and rice that accompanied the goat. My friend got the chicken in brown sauce. Yum!! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce is so flavorful. The people were friendly when we picked up the food. Inside it's elegant with white tablecloths on each table. It's refined but not snobby. I look forward to returning to Manchester just to try more of the options on the menu.

We were the only group there and warmly greeted by MonCherie who was extremely attentive the whole evening, providing us with recommendations and information about the Jamaican dishes. I started with Soursop Juice which was an interesting flavor, similar to pineapple/coconut juice. For appetizers, I ordered the Plantain Cups with Ackee and Saltfish (a traditional Jamaican dish) and C ordered the Jerk Chicken Roll. Both were delicious. For my main dish, I ordered the Steamed Red Snapper with rice and peas (which are really red beans) and fried plantains. The rice and beans come with a sauce that helped make it a little less dry. The plantains were great and the fish - amazing once MonCherie explained how to eat it without eating bones. :) Overall, it was a great experience and worth the visit!

The only negative is I didn't see any potatoes and I love how potatoes soak up the curry gravy. Everything was bursting with authentic flavor. The cabbage was perfectly cooked and the plantains were sweet. They have a regular from this experience.

Alright so time to get into the reason you're probably reading this review... The Ackee patty is a 10/10 hands down, it's very flavorful I wouldn't change anything about it. The mixed soursop juice was so refreshing. I wasn't a fan of the jerk eggplant patty but I wasn't upset at trying it out either..

I've returned again and again for Take Out and the quality is always consistent. They have a reward system for returning customers that has earned me a FREE cookie from time to time.

Service was very friendly, prices a little high, but bbq is crazy these days so you kind of expect it. Tried the three meat plate, with a side of bbq beans and cornbread.

Hot links: my favorite part of this dish! Wasn't a standard flavor, not too spicy, and had a great snap to it. Overall, decent experience, nothing to write home about.

Place is smallish, but there's a counter with a few stools if you want to eat inside. Service was very friendly & efficient. Brisket was good -- tender and moist. Nice bark too. Ribs had a smokey flavor, I liked the rub they used. But a few were borderline tough. Collards were excellent. Overall, this is decent "northern Q", I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area. Thomas' Smokey Pit Stop BBQ is a solid 4 Star rating, IMO, and that's coming from a guy who consumed a lot of Q in northern Alabama when he lived down there.

From the warm welcome upon my entry, to the cleanliness of the restaurant right on down to the food that I received, it was all a win and so let us officially begin. Now I had arrived too early to receive any jerk wings and that hurt my heart a little. Jerk Wings, Jerk Chicken in general is just a strong staple in the Jamaican Food Space along with some ferocious rum cake and for the dessert offerings, I was off by one day but I will not hold that against them. I went with the brown stew chicken (medium), 2 drinks, 2 dumplings and some velvet cake all for $27 and to be honest, I think that is a fair price point for everything. My brown stew chicken had the nerve to be scrumptious!! Tender and Soft, like a Woman! I was in love upon first bite. I sank my teeth into that chicken and it fought my soul upon impact. The flavors of sweet seduction, savory symphony and tantalizing treason the way my tastebuds betrayed me; was more than enough to find comforting peace on this bite alone. I closed my eyes as I was chewing away, remembering all of the greatest moments in my life, fusing together and then I came back to the light. The chicken broke apart within my mouth before I could even chew it Family!! The rice is just rice...brown rice cooked into a selective softness that when mixed with the brown stew gravy, send you into a whirlwind of joy immediately and I am not big on veggies, but they worked out a balance in my meal that helped me to better understand as to why I should start loving veggies. My dumpling had a good crisp about it but so soft with minimal buttery fluff and it was of a decent size too. Looks just like a big ol corn muffin in its finest hour, dressed for the occasion. You could sop this dumpling up into the brown stew and find that your life is complete once you bite into it. This leaves us at the rich velvet cake. Creamy and decadent - sweet and understanding.
