Let the Battle of the Taste Buds Begin! My husband and I frequent the Rocky Hill location since…read moreit's closer to home but the other day I stopped by the Bristol location, and left with a smile. I was welcomed with a compliment about my hair, and I was attended to right a way. The staff offered their recommendations and made accommodations when the large soup lids ran out. I ordered 2 large chicken soups, and a medium curry goat for my Jamaican husband. Followed by a friendly request from the staff to compare & rate the taste between Rocky Hill & Bristol. My husband enjoyed the meal & hesitantly said the Bristol flavors were more tasty. He smiled at the innocent tasting competition between his fellow "yard man", and he's looking forward to giving his review in person. PRO: Friendly staff, flavorful food (Deeper flavors than Rocky Hill), off street parking, and close to UConn Hospital. Also, they were collecting for the recent disaster relief following Hurricane Melissa, bless their hearts. CON: Beverage fridge was near empty. There were only 4 homemade lemonades available to choose. Interior could use more wall art like the Rocky Hill location.

"Fish heads, fish heads Roly-poly fish heads…read moreFish heads, fish heads Eat them up, yum" (Barnes and Barnes) I've seen a few reviewers praise Island Fish Heads as the home of the best Jamaican food in Hartford, so I walked in for lunch with high expectations, and those expectations were decisively met. I had their curry chicken with cabbage and rice and peas, and everything was very good. The chicken was cooked perfectly; it was super moist and very flavorful. As fans of Jamaican food are no doubt aware, be careful of the bones in your container. The cabbage was tender and had a bonus of diced carrots and corn mixed in. The rice and peas were some of the best I've ever had. The rice was soft and fluffy and mixed with plenty of a very zippy curry. Service was perfect, with a smiling and very friendly gent taking my order. Parking is available on Albany Avenue and in a small lot on the corner of Green Street.

The 'everything sauce also added a nice flavor/kick, but I would ask for it on the side next time.

It was clean, service was fast, and the staff were very nice. Definitely will be returning to try the other food.

The…read moreowner is from Philadelphia and created the menu according to Philadelphia culture. 881 Grab & Go offers a diverse menu, including Oxtails, Cabbage, Rice and Peas, Chicken, Empanadas, and other Caribbean specials. Also, the establishment has free games that you can play while you wait. I came here for one reason: for the Cheyney Sandwich, a Fried Whiting Fish sandwich with 881 Aioli, Pickled Cabbage, Lettuce, and Cheese. I heard about this sandwich for months, and everyone said it was good, so I had to try it out. On the first bite, I was speechless. Now I see what all the talk was about. The Fish was cooked to perfection. The Cabbage on the sandwich was delicious, tangy, crunchy, and slightly sweet. You can either get the fish sandwich on Coco Bread or Potato Bread. I would recommend getting it on the Coco Bread. I also tried the Oxtail Cheesesteak, which consists of chopped Oxtail meat, sautéed Onions and Peppers, and Cheese Wiz. I also tasted the Oxtail Empanadas. I would give these items three stars because the Oxtail tasted too gelatinous. When I bit into the Oxtail Cheesesteak, it gave off a fatty and gelatinous taste, but was flavorful. Also, I did not like the Cheese Wiz in the Oxtail Cheesesteak. I would have rather had a Provolone Cheese or a Sharp Cheese on the Cheesesteak. The customer service is excellent, and next to the register is always a written note to inspire you and get your day going, which I love. If you're ever in the area, you should check them out.
