"Ever dish is appetizing . I only finished part of the dish of curry chicken . I'm a little let down because I was expecting the curry chicken to have a lot more meat in the food container that it was in but the flavor of the chicken juices is so wonderful that I can already tell I'll be returning soon . However I'm sure the oxtails and goat plate will be liked and taste excellent too . I have no serious about the Caribbean meal it's amazing and all of my drinks came with the order . The cream soda in particular is so good that it may really make me get five of those and I was really pleased with every dish that was prepared and served so I'll be ordering five more of those cream soda without adding a dinner I'm going to be reheating some more meals later because I'm so full right now . Tropicana and the Caribbean grill will be my two favorite restaurants . I'll place separate orders for two meals and beverages from each of them so please don't go out of business I will always be there to support your company "

"By far the best Shepherds Pie I've ever had! Very flavorful and a generous serving. We are visiting from out of state but this will be a must have any time we return! Kids cheeseburger was large and flavorful - not just a frozen ball of meat. My husband had the stew and said it was very flavorful as well. The soda bread was amazing!"
"chips have not an of flavor. It's literally just cooked potato. A pinch of salt wouldn't kill anyone. The fish is really a shame because the portion is fabulous, the batter is beautiful but again...BLAND. Not a drop of seasoning in the batter or on the fish. The tartar sauce portion is tiny for the portion of fish given and the cole slaw leaves much to be desired. I didn't even bother."

"Best food in town! Thank you guys for offering such quality. Coffee was delivered hot and tasted perfect. The bagel was so fresh and I love that the meat options are all turkey. "
"The dish was underwhelming overall. There was just one piece of olive and a single cherry tomato included. The white sauce was less than a quarter cup and quite watery. The second sauce was confusing—regular oil was used instead of olive oil, which affected the flavor. The chicken was average, I’d rate it 5 out of 10. On a positive note, the fries were decent."

"The Waffle Combo was good. It needed more than one container of syrup instead of the unnecessary ketchup.And more than one strawberry."
"Do NOT order from these incompetent people, because every time I've ordered from them they mess something up and it's either because they're flat out lazy or lack common sense. The first time I ordered they put my mozzarella sticks in the same container as my cupcake pancakes which makes zero sense because who in their right mind would enjoy mozzarella sticks with ICING all over them or pancakes with mozzarella crumbs stuck to them??? This time around I ordered the same thing but told support to make sure to tell them place my items in different containers to avoid what happened last time. So they did right. I open the cupcake pancakes and surprise surprise, just four dry pancakes with no icing no whipped cream nothing. At this point it's purposeful because this makes zero sense these are not difficult food items to make so why can't they get it right? Yea never again."

"This is the only consistent jamaican food I've experienced. Always a hit and never a miss. The Ackee & Saltfish is fresh and doesnt have the canned taste whether they use it or not. The portions are always plentiful with anything i order, , and the patties are fresh unlike many places I've tried that seem heated up from another day. I love the Beef and cheese Patty . It's a little out the way for me but worth it. "
"Plenty of food for sure. The chicken was tender. I just did not like the taste of Curry Chicken, too bitter like maybe too much allspice or tumeric? The Cabbage mix was more like coleslaw style which I was not expecting. Overall a good value, just not my preference. Also wish these places would throw in a slice of bread or rotti."

"Food was delicious as usual! 17. Buss Up Skin was flaky and light, 18. Dhal Puri was flavorful and the 1. Doubles were great. "
"My wife is Trini and so my in-laws are first generation Trinidadian immigrants who make some of the best Trini dishes I've ever had. So you can get imagine my excitement to learn that a restaurant serving authentic Trini food had returned to the area. My wife used to eat here when it was the original Teddy's and was also excited to have some good old home food. But I was extremely disappointed when I opened the container to see very small portions of oxtails and rice. The meat was tough and the sauce was very oily. Next I tried the doubles. The Chana had a very tasty sauce however they were a bit undercooked and hard. Not at all tender or creamy as I had expected. The curry chicken was lost in the sauce . Finally I got to the main event, the shark & 2. Fried Bake and Shark. It was dry and resembled minced shark not the filet that I was hoping to find. And lastly the bake itself was too hard and chewy. Overall I have to give it a 3 out of 5 forks, a hard pass but I would give Teddy's a second chance. Maybe it was just a one off and not typical of their quality. But the prices were very expensive considering the portion sizes. The meat dishes need more meat to be a decent value. Ultimately good flavors but mediocre presentation and preparation. Ps. I didn't even get my 1. Sorrel. Bummer."

"First time trying and will not be returning. The Classic Buttermilk Biscuits were hard and greasy. The fist thing I noticed about the chicken were the feathers sticking up on the chicken leg. The skin was not crispy and poorly seasoned. If this is because someone else was minding the store, they shouldn't let it happen again. I'm out $57 for a meal not fit to eat. "

"Italian Rainbow Cookie (Gluten Free) Loved! The flavor is full, predominantly almond. The chocolate layer flavor does not overpower. The cakes are small, petit four sized. The Sandra (Gluten Free) Amazing! Ordered with meat (chicken, turkey), onions and herbed mayo. The blend of flavors are fresh, especially with the balsamic glaze, hummus and avocado spread. The sandwich is medium in size, can be divided for two meals when there are multiple fillings. One of the possible disadvantages is the sandwich is not a panini so it is not grilled/heated. The Monica (Gluten-Free) Excellent! Ordered with extra meat (chicken, turkey), onions and herbed mayo. The pesto flavor is one of the best for a panini sandwich. The sandwich is small in size. I would order all of the items again."
"We were so excited to try a dedicated gf bakery on our trip to DC, but overall it just wasn't all that great. We were happy to see items like the ham and cheese croissant, cinnamon roll, bagel. The bagel is decent. The ham and cheese croissant was tiny (which I actually don't mind, but the pictures online are deceiving - trust me, it's very small if you have a normal/big appetite, but perfect people who want something small so it worked out for me). The croissant was super dense and heavy. Based on descriptions and reviews I was expecting closer to a traditional croissant texture (which surprised me because gf just can't replicate gluten for these kind of pastries). I was correct. Also, the cinnamon roll was heavy, hard, dense. My daughter liked her bagel as soon as she picked off the smoked salmon - she didn't care for the flavor of the salmon. In my opinion, it's just not worth the price and it was sort of what one expects from gf trying to do pastries. One note: they have a lot of breads and buns, so perhaps those are good and stick to items using that."
