    Beef Patty
    Ashley J.

    Beef patties and coco bread were delicious - especially paired together! Patty was a little spicy so you may want water. Very reasonably priced and fast. No seating so everything is takeaway but the park is right across the street.

    Beef Patty (~$4)

    Ordered: Beef Patty (~$4) Small Oxtail Plate (~$18): with rice & peas and steamed veggies Aya's take: Kingston Bakery is a local spot that's familiar to Harlem natives. We were in the area and decided to grab a bite. The Beef Patty was super seasoned, beyond any other beef patty I've ever had. Some of the seasonings clashed or felt out of place but I liked that it was piping hot, loaded with beef, and wasn't dry. The patty itself wasn't flaky (which I tend to prefer) but it tasted fresh. The Small Oxtail Plate was heavy! They stuff so much oxtail into this small plate. The Oxtail itself was sweet, savory, and smoky. The rice & peas was decent but the steamed veggies were just okay. I liked the cabbage but I've never seen it come with broccoli, peppers, etc. They were mushy and didn't taste that good to me. They also didn't include the sweet plantains which should be included in the plate per the menu! I was super disappointed as I love plantains so this meal felt incomplete to me. Decent try but I've had better Jamaican food in NYC.

    Veggie Patty

    Notably kind service, clearly proud of what they make. Veggie patty was good, full flavor throughout, every bite with strong peppery flavor. Good mix of vegetables which you don't always see. Coco bread was great, fresh.

The interior is cozy, with tables fairly close together, but they seemed to turn over quickly, so it was not an issue. The décor gave the restaurant a warm island vibe, and the music fit the atmosphere perfectly. The music was played at a comfortable level, so we did not have to shout across the table to hear one another. Once seated, we were promptly given water and menus. The service was great. Although I no longer remember our waitress's name, she was friendly and very attentive. She checked on us regularly and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay. As someone who grew up eating Jamaican food, I was a little skeptical, but this place far exceeded my expectations. I started with the codfish fritters, which tasted like home, except home does not serve them with such a delicious dipping sauce. I also had the Scandal Rum Punch, which was very good. For my entrée, I ordered the oxtail with rice and peas and vegetables. I was pleased that the oxtail was not overly fatty, and the meat fell right off the bone. I also really enjoyed the rice and peas. My only critique was that the oxtail had a little too much browning, but it did not overpower or negatively affect the flavor. They were also offering happy-hour specials on appetizers and drinks, which was a bonus. My company and I left happy and satisfied with full stomachs. I would definitely return to explore more of the menu.

It's a loud and vibrant atmosphere. They have a pre-theater prefix menu which we decided on. Empanada app was 3 large empanadas and each one was flavored and yummy.

Walked into Margon Restaurant in Midtown and instantly felt like I found one of NYC's secret cheat codes. Small space, big flavors, zero nonsense. The kind of place where you're elbow-to-elbow with strangers but everyone's united by one thing... serious hunger. Ordered the Cuban sandwich -- pressed, crispy, loaded with roast pork, glazed ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard. One bite in and I stopped talking... which never happens. This thing didn't just deliver... it showed up early and over-prepared. Then came La Bandera Dominicana Braised beef swimming in savory gravy, yellow rice piled like a mountain, black beans doing their thing, and sweet maduros sitting on top like the victory flag. Simple. Comforting. Dangerous... because now I want it every week. Place gets busy, gets loud, gets chaotic... but it moves like a well-oiled machine. Years of experience and zero attitude. Just good people making great food. In a neighborhood full of tourist traps, this hole-in-the-wall is throwing haymakers. Sometimes the best escape in NYC isn't a rooftop... It's a Cuban sandwich and a plastic tray. And honestly... I'd pick that every time. #nycfood #hiddennyc #midtowneats
