Suga & Spice

I absolutely loved the food and the salmon was delicious. I don't really eat jerk but this place really left an impression. We ordered a bunch of dishes so we could taste as much as possible. The only thing I think they should work on is the Cafe area. The tables hadn't been wiped down after being used. I know they stay super busy but someone should be dedicated to checking that area frequently. Other than that it was Great!

I will start by saying the food was great! So now my review: 1. The website says they open at 12:00..actually they open at 11:00. 2. The girl at the register could have cared less if we came..not friendly or helpful at all. Thank God for the other lady who helped us!! 3. No coffee, tea or diet drinks!!! 4. Don’t be fooled by the website…the chef on the website is not there. 5. Not sure this is actually blacked owned…the reason we came.

We ordered the oxtail hawaiian rolls, lemon pepper wings, rice and peas, candied yams and the greens and cabbage mix and everything was absolutely delicious. For dessert we had the banana pudding unfortunately it was soupy and lacked wafers and real bananas. Please invest in your dessert menu. Outside of that I would definitely recommend this place.

So here’s my review:

Came on a Tuesday evening, steady but not busy which was perfect. Food took about 15 minutes to make. I ordered the Suga n spice wings which the sauce reminded me of mambo sauce but the wings were really good. I got the Rasta pasta, taste good, very flavorful, only 3 pieces of shrimp with the tail on, I HATE THAT, it’s laziness to me, and a ton of chicken. Definitely think they could have added more shrimp, and yeah it was drenched in oil. I told the owner that’s a downfall, hopefully they address it. My friend got oxtail with rice n peas and Mac n cheese. Oxtail=trash. Definitely didn’t taste like traditional Jamaican oxtail, but the rice n peas and Mac n cheese were good. I was surprised the Mac n cheese was good since usually most places don’t do it right. It’s not flavorful, but the consistency of it was good.

All in all, I would return, just wouldn’t order oxtail from them. Nice clean establishment that’s black owned which is nice.
