We ordered off of GrubHub. The food took more than an hour to arrive but it was hot and fresh. We had the jerk chicken with rice and peas and plantains, the BBQ chicken and the oxtails. Once we sat down to eat, there wasn't a sound out of anyone. The food was very good and the portions were very large and filling.
I would try them again with home the the delivery would be quicker next time.
Rest of the review might not be important to you. Because if you're hungry, two and a half hours is a long damn time to wait. Google Maps says that by car, it's a nine minute drive from their place to my place. What they did with the extra two hours and twenty three minutes is a mystery. Also, to add to the fun, the delivery guy didn't want to climb the steps to bring the food to the door. There are 10 steps.
Food was hit or miss. Roti was good, but gringo alert, even the chicken had a lot of bones. Curry shimp over rice was good. Mac and cheese was not. And several of their menu options were not available via Seamless, but the person at the store was nice enough to call and tell me this.
I was visiting a friend in the neighborhood and I knew she wouldn't have any food for me to eat so I stopped and got a lunch plate from this spot. I ordered the jerk chicken lunch special that came with chicken, rice and beans and a few plantains. The chicken was decent and the rice and beans were okay, It wasn't the worst or best that I've had.
The store itself is a little hole in the wall that could use some sprucing up. However, for a take out spot it will do. Its very convenient right next to the train station. I would definitely order from here again when I'm in the area.
You know that scene in Close Encounters when all the believers find themselves mystically attracted to the strange shaped mountain?
I'm that way when I see a big, black man working hard over two giant barrel BBQs full of burning bird. I simply must be part of that experience. Stumpy's is basically a guy, those two grills on the sidewalk smoking up the neighborhood, and a small shop with a counter and no seats. On the menu was chicken, BBQ fish, West Indian bread and I think that was pretty much it.
An order of chicken comes in two size… $5 or $10, and when the bird is cooked perfectly, he hatches it up into pieces and offers you a choice of sauces (jerk, BBQ, etc). I grabbed my order and jumped on the 3 train. It's wasn't long before the steamy aroma of BBQ chicken was wafting through the car, causing some drooling and I think I saw two ladies touching themselves.
They are pretty much brand new so in time there might be some seats and a wider menu. But then again simplicity also works when you've got protein and flame.
