Willy’s Jerk

I tried their jerk chicken and rice. it was very tasty! Their sauce is to die for. However, I arrived around 830pm one evening and was disappointed that they ran out of a few menu items.

*This is now my third time at Willy’s so consider this review a thorough and accurate representation of the average «foodie experience» here.
Around 4:30pm today, Sunday, I ordered the Fried chicken meal which comes with coleslaw and rice & peas. I asked for Jerk sauce on top of the chicken and Oxtail sauce on the side and then I realized the cashier charged me a $ 0.20 fee for this request without letting me know. So, I rolled my eyes (yeah, I did… I won’t lie), and told her to forget the oxtail sauce and paid the regular $ 7.25 owed.
Got home and discovered this in my takeaway bag (see pic). Of all the days to get a crappy meal this was not the one… chile please.
1) The fried chicken batter: soggy. It’s certainly not crispy which is ODD because there is no evidence of politely requested Jerk sauce.
2) Chicken magically both smells & tastes of old fish. How delightful. I love surprises. Asked for chicken but hey look you got fish. Ha. Ha. Well played, Willy, well played indeed.
3) Rice & peas have sadly been demoted to mush. Tastes like depression… or the Cold War, or what have you.
4) To top off all that super goodness, the coleslaw texture and taste is reminiscent of shredded-​up wet socks.
lol…ok ok. Maybe I’m exaggerating just a TAD but I don’t know how else to describe the extent of this ‘unfreshness’! IMHO, the whole thing looks like death!
The last few meals here were average but congrats are in order for ’ Mr. Willy’. You have truly outdone yourself today. This food RIGHT HERE is for the truly starving. And I’m just not there yet (give it a few hours and I’ll get ‘er done… I hate to waste food). As for now, this slop has made my nausea level so high I can’ t stomach anything thank you, not even my beloved hummus. I guess I’ll be having this Oasis Mango Smoothie for lunch and dinner which, I guess, is really not such a bad thing cuz it is diviiiiine. I just wish I had made the wiser decision and put that $ 7.20 towards something healthier: a couple of cold Heinkeken’s ;)

So what did we learn… yeah, sorry, there’s more lol. Did you think I was done? No siree this is a #fullonrant
Again, «so what did we learn» from this lovely review, ladies and gents? That cheap eats ain’t always the bee’s knees. Meals under $ 10 CAN BE risky business — it’s an everyday struggle (R.I.P. B.I.G.). Ultimately, I know Willy’s can AND HAS served better dishes, so do yourself a favor and restrict your cheap-​eat-​chowdowns to the «special lunch deal» hours of 11 to 1pm weekdays. Otherwise, you risk getting tossed yesterday’s leftovers.
Update: no one, not even the starving students round here, could handle that mess. Food gone to garbage. Such a waste :(

Little spot tucked away in between other restaurants, they make a Solid jerk chicken but the price is a little on the high side unless you come here between 11 and 1 pm and enjoy the lunch special, fried chicken and rice for $ 4.99

Small place but friendly people, great jerk chicken, and price was just right.
