Erkie's Restaurant

Since I have moved to Philadelphia I haven’t had any good Jamaican food. It taste like they’re all cooking for Americans that don’t cook for themselves. Does actually wasn’t the best but is the best in Philadelphia that I found so I’ll give them a five star because the goat or soft as hell. Stop making mac & cheese though leave that for the Yankees

Yesterday, I went to Erkie's for the first and LAST time. I purchased 2 large oxtail platters that cost me $47.00. The woman that took the order is extremely unprofessional with selective hearing. When I placed the order, she told me the cabbage would be ready in 15 min. I picked up my order a little over 1/2 hour and then her story changed. She then said the cabbage was not there but was on the way. She asked would I like plantains or mixed vegetables instead. I opted for the mixed vegetables. However, I did not know they were frozen veggies and not fresh. I was also surprised that at least 1-2 strips of plantains were not complimentary as they are in other Jamaican restaurants. Then I saw 2 women come in with 2 huge bags of uncooked cabbage and head to the back. I mean why lie about the cabbage being ready in 15 minutes knowing the cabbage was not even in the building and then came in uncooked. REALLY!!!!!!!!!! This was by far the worst Jamaican food that I HAVE EVER HAD. The oxtails

I've never had Jamaican food . But a friend recommended this restaurant and I thought that I'd give it a go. For example, I really don't care for cabbage but their's is worth the gobbling. It was tasty,well done and not overdone. The jerk chicken made me jerk it from the container to my mouth( oh my ) ! Next time ,I'll try the mac & cheese. Smack on !!!
