    Large, Jerk Chicken
    David W.

    Great value. The large takeout serving of jerk chicken is easily enough for two meals it must weigh 3+ pounds. It's very tasty and I love the cabbage. The bones are left in the chicken, so if that's a concern for you, another place may be a better choice.

    This is the back area. Corner store kinda vibe.

    So, first off, I am so glad that this place closed at 9 pm. It is so difficult to even call in an order at Carena's and let's not get into their line. . . you may as well call while you're in line or your food will get cold. I love the outer appeal of the building. The Jamaican flare and you know that Bob Marley is a staple so to see an art piece of him is really nice. Now, there are two entryways. I think the back entrance is for the later hours while the restaurant itself may be closed a little earlier given the pandemic. Since most people are doing carry out, they should probably spruce this area up a bit. I mean, it is basically empty, the menu is a bit tattered, the window view would make you think twice before ordering, especially if you are a germophobe with Rona booming. You basically have to have a corner store mindset. It's a little sad since the restaurant section is pretty nice. Now again, I was ecstatic that they were open until 9 pm. . . but then . . . you're out of almost everything: plantain? "we're out", beef patty "we're out", jerk chicken? "we're out". Mane, what do ya have? lol Mind you, I arrived around 6:30 pm. aaaaaanywho... I got the curry goat. When I say my plate was FULL, I'm being 100% honest. I decided to get large and it was a lot. I couldn't even keep the lid closed. Now, I was expecting a little sauce to be there since it is curry goat. The sauce was not there from what I could see, but maybe it was absorbed by all the rice and veggies (remember. . . this thing is PACKED). Now, when I finally ate the food, FULL OF FLAVOR. I was pleasantly surprised because of the lack of sauce and I was skeptical because of the back ambiance. I was happy to try their food! It was a great experience. The goat wasn't fatty and they didn't skimp on the meat either. So my only take away was the back ambiance, other than that, the food was great! I may visit again for sure.

    Mac and cheese $3.50

    I think they closed down the restaurant/ lounge part but when I went today it was more of a Togo place! Food portion is very generous so the price is justified! I'm not gonna lie the food was a lil weak in flavor compared to other Jamaican place I've been too. I can see that it's well seasoned but i don't know maybe I came in a bad day or had from a wrong batch. But I'm still gonna go and try more next time cuz I'm not convinced that it's not that good. I wanna give them another try. Mac and cheese was a lil dry not w ouch cheese. The top layer was nice and cheesy baked, but the inside wasn't really creamy. It was warm and fresh but it kinda tasted like how a cold mac taste before you heat it up. Steak and pepper was just not hitting it but it wasn't horrible. My brother got oxtail he said it was ok I didn't try it. He said it taste a lil like it the bottom of the pot might've been burnt there was a hint of burn taste. The beef patty I didn't really like it but my brother did so I guess it's just an individual taste preference not that it actually is bad!! But over all it was nice, nice people and fast and fresh food!

    Hands down my favorite lunch spot. You get a lot of food and it is very inexpensive. This man cooks with his heart and soul. Only trade off is that it is usually cash only

    Jamerican cuisine. ( Caribbean) Excellent authentic jamaican food. I got curry goat & ride and beans. So much food I have to enjoy later. Mask required to enter and only 5 people allowed in store. Carryout only. It looks like they do have restaurant seating but that's closed. Will definitely come back here very soon.

    Come here if you want large portions of tasty chicken curry for takeout. I've ordered their chicken curry a couple times before. They fill the box up to the brim and the chicken has plenty of delicious skin on there. Worth a look if you're in the neighborhood and want something quick. It's definitely a whole in the wall.

The parking lot is small, and there is a pothole in the alley near the parking lot entrance that will bottom out an SUV. Apparently, there is additional parking, but we didn't see it in the dark. The restaurant is cozy, Hawaiian-themed, and clean. We were seated within moments of entering the host's periphery, and received menus and ice water within minutes. I had the poke bowl last time, and I remember it being chilled and gently flavored. The avocado and spicy mayo did a lot of the heavy lifting. It was filling and very healthy. My partner enjoyed the Ipanema Sandwich last time we visited. This time around we snacked on the fried halloumi (fried cheese and mint yogurt dip) and Lumpia, taquito-type beef rolls, with sweet and sour dip. We absolutely demolished the coconut cream pie for dessert. The pie was so delicate and lovely that even my partner enjoyed it, a typical coconut detractor. I recommend Little Nickel to anyone looking to try something unique and ambitious that veers from the well-trodden culinary path. The staff here were courteous and helpful, the restaurant was clean, and the food was firing on all cylinders.

The fries were crispy and the perfect side. To top it all off, I had one of their frozen drinks, and it was so refreshing--the perfect pairing with the meal. If you're looking for a casual spot with great food, generous portions, and a fun tropical atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back.

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Riverside Tavern on Forest Hill Avenue…read more I ordered the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus to go for $23.00. When I opened the container, I was shocked to find that the salmon portion was barely larger than my finger. It looked more like a sample than an entrée. I have attached photos because words alone don't adequately capture how small it was. What makes this even more frustrating is that I have ordered this exact meal before while dining in with my family, and the salmon portion I received then was easily three times larger. So this isn't a case of unrealistic expectations--I know what this dish normally looks like. I called the restaurant to express my concern, hoping they would make it right. Instead, the bartender responded with, "The portions are cut how they are cut," as if that somehow justified charging full price for such a tiny piece of fish. When I asked to speak with the owner, I was told, "You won't be talking to the owner. I'll just give him your information." There was no apology, no offer to replace the meal, no effort to address my concern--just complete indifference. If portions have been reduced, customers should be informed before paying premium prices. If this was simply an inconsistent serving, then quality control is seriously lacking. Either way, charging $23 for what amounts to a nugget of salmon is unacceptable. I used to enjoy Riverside Tavern and specifically ordered this meal because I had a good experience previously. Unfortunately, this visit--and especially the way my complaint was handled--has left me questioning whether I'll be back.

This is the restaurant in the lobby of the Omni, and their room service menu has a really solid variety. Appetizers, soups and salads, sandwiches, fish, chicken, steak, seafood, other meat options, plus plenty of sides and desserts. There's something for whatever mood you're in. For my appetizer I ordered the fried green tomatoes. I'm very picky about fried green tomatoes because if they're not done right, they can be greasy and heavy. These were not. They were thick wedges of firm green tomatoes in a light batter, stacked with a spread of pimento cheese and finished with a drizzle of honey. The balance of savory and sweet worked really well, and the texture was exactly what I look for -- crisp outside, tender yet firm inside. For my entrée I chose the roasted lamb rack. It came as two double ribs over a sweet potato purée that had a subtle hint of cinnamon -- really nice flavor without being overpowering. The lamb was cooked to the right temperature, juicy and tender, with a light chimichurri and vegetables alongside. I also ordered the grilled corn succotash as a side -- corn, beans, and tomato. It was fresh and bright and complemented the richness of the lamb perfectly. This is my second time dining here. The first time I had breakfast out on the Westham Porch, and both experiences have been very pleasant.
