THISREVIEWWOULDREADZEROSTARSIFITWASANOPTION! The guy that owns this place, in my opinion, is a lunatic. I had a seriously disturbing experience in dealing with him, and for your own safety, avoid this man and his establishment! ESPECIALLYWOMENSHOULDAVOIDTHISPLACE! The«restaurant» is filthy and run down, the customer service seemed OK until it followed me home! The guy, Mike is what he calls himself, comes off as nice enough; a total whiner, but he seems harmless at first. Who could guess that a five minute conversation is enough for this guy to develop an obsession; to fixate on you,(or something you casually mention in passing) to the extent of tracking you down people you know and talking about you, etc. Like I said, in my opinion he’s a lunatic. And I believe him to be dangerous. He tried very hard to cause serious problems in my life, writing letters to every address on my block saying I was a dangerous person and they should be careful; basically the kind of thing that would almost always eventually lead to eviction. This is completely untrue, I’m a total sweetheart, anyone who knows me can verify that. He fixated on a person I’d mentioned in passing, and felt this was a good excuse to have a conversation with her, someone he’d never met and knew nothing about. He is lonely, bitter, and unbelievably entitled. He keeps insisting someone should be helping him, that everyone in this city is awful and selfish. Maybe people think twice about helping a self-pittying hole in the wall crap shack owner who only has a place to live, a business, at least one vehicle, and savings. Oh you poor thing, meals on wheels not hand delivering food to your door?

I’ve passed by this place on several occasions wondering if it was any good. So today I decided to venture inside and have a taste. On first impression this place looks like a mess. The small space in front is cluttered with what you might find in a thrift store: old and possibly broken small appliances, old furniture, and a family style table setting. The menus are on the wall and look old. There’s a coffee/tea station that isn’t inviting. A dedicated freezer with a glass top sits beside the station displaying Popsicles and ice cream bars. The owner stepped out from the counter and recommended that I have the Jerk chicken as he had made it fresh last night. I agreed since I really didn’t know what I wanted. It came with some salad, a ton of rice, and some potatoes. I wanted the rice and peas but that wasn’t made yet. Hmm… So much for getting what you asked for. Now, when I ate the food, I wasn’t turned off by it. The flavours were there but not spicy as I usually prefer. The portions are ridiculously large, but I have been cutting down in my consumption so maybe it’s normal size. The owner kept defending how he’s had this establishment for over 10yrs but no one in the hood comes and/or are too picky about his food. He seemed like a nice guy but he isn’t aware that his restaurant is a dump visually. Clean it up, reorganize and have a more appealing atmosphere may bring in more customers. I doubt I will return as the food wasn’t extraordinary. I can’t recommend but can’t dissuade either. If you are craving some Jerk chicken, stop in. If you’re open to other options, walk a few blocks to Davie and head up the hill. Your selection opens up.
