The plantains are absolutely disgusting! How do you mess you plantains? I would suggest cutting it smaller so it cooks better. The slices are too huge, brown on the outside but raw on the inside. The oxtail was burnt & tough.
It wasn't what I expected but the Jamaican food options did hit the spot. I tried the never before heard of jerk pork patty flavor explosion link up which put a big smile on my face. The new form required eating with a knife & fork due to the amount of pork & vegetables stuffed into the patty but in true Jamaican style, I ate it like a boss with my hands & ignored the bits falling back down to the plate in the moment. I won't lie, the main jerk chicken meal did have what takes to be declared authentic Jamaican food. I will definitely go again. My only strife was the lack of a varied beverage options.
You should really try the loaded patty if you can! Didnt see it on the uber eats menu but it was amazing as a regular from here. If you prefer pork , ask if they can do it with that instead! I like the chicken but the pork is my go to.
I've been here twice & the food is full of flavour. It's a fusion of bajan & Jamaican cuisine. The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere of the restaurant is vibrant & unique. If you want to satisfy your cravings, the oxtail & jerk chicken are really good. The pepper sauce is spicy & delicious!
First impressions are everything I was really e cited to try this food.. ordered on Uber & my order was canceled for some unknown reason. I tried calling but their number doesn't even work! Terrible.
Repas excellent avec la bonne dose de sauce pimentée comme en Afrique à la demande. Personnel accueillant. Pour l'ambiance on était que deux en restaurant à ce moment là mais c'était correct, comme un moment intimiste. Place que je recommande
I ordered the Jerk Chicken plate. It costs 15$ & it's very good value for money, you get a good amount of food. Chicken is fresh & tasty (could use a bit more spice). Rice is very good & plantains were great too. I also ordered side of mac & cheese which was alright (5$). Service was exceptional. The atmosphere is also really cool & retro.
I would recommend Lloydie's to anyone on the lookout for a hearty Caribbean style meal. I will definitely return soon to try the Jerk Chicken Poutine.
We had lunch on a Wednesday at aroind 2pm & it was quiet. Service was good. The food was delicious, it came really fast! They ran out of Oxtail for the day so we oredered the jerk chicken & fried chicken. They brought my husband the rest of the oxtail they had left in a little bowl! Super nice!! I guess it wasn't enough for a whole order. I also got a beef patty, it was great! It was our first time & it's definitely not our last!!
