...At only $12, they are, like their clam counterpart, a great appetizer to split between two people before chowing down on lobster or shrimp rolls, or for one person to completely fill up of some plump, tender shrimp, fried in a simply seasoned crackermeal, and served with a bright, piquant cocktail sauce, deep with earthy hot horseradish....

...The tender chicken was nicely seasoned and slow-cooked patiently to make for some very tender chicken, replete with the flavors of its island seasoning, even rendering the small percent of the chicken's fattier parts into wonderfully chewable morsels. The rice was nicely aromatic and the sole but oversized, thick slice of plantain was comfortably "toothsome", nicely caramelized without being overly sweet.... [Full post]

... Again, though, this place, with its almost Alice in Wonderland ambience, is a place where the food supports a bigger idea.

...All of it contained great flavors, even with some spice combinations being a little foreign to me. the meat dishes each had tender proteins, spiced for flavor and heat, and complemented well by the bread.

...The chicken had "cracklin'" good skin and was minimally seasoned, letting the the flavor of the chicken shine through, its meat tender and juicy. A nice flaky exterior, an aromatic, airy interior, the biscuit tasted great in its own bitefuls or coupled with a pull of the fried chicken. The mac 'n' cheese, drizzled with hot sauce, was creamy smooth, cheesy without that extra "sharpness", and its pasta maintaining an almost perfect al dente firmness.... [Full post]
