Caribbean American Gourmet

I hate to write this review … However something must be said about this place ! I used to have so much respect for the owners/​workers. They are a husband and wife who are always nice and courteous.
But, that doesn’t make up for the quality of the food. It is truly dismal ! I used to frequent them years ago but, stopped because of the price. The food has never been very seasoned but, the portions are huge. The fact that it wasn’t the most seasoned caribbean food didn’t bother me because, they were convenient to my job. And the food wasn’t distateful, that was before !!!
Nowadays, the portions are huge and not fresh!!! Today, I ordered a steakfish platter. And the fish was crumbly and appeared to have been cooked in old grease. The macaroni was totally tasteless, as well as the collard greens that I ordered.
I also ordered oxtail for a co-​worker. They were unable to even eat more than a few bites. In all fairness, this is the second time recently that their food has been bad. I had food from there a week ago that was totally bland and wasn’t very fresh. But, today was downright awful !!! I felt embarassed even recommending this place to my co-​worker !
I know the recession has hit places hard and I was very hesitant to write this review. I’m sure business is slow because of the economy. However for the prices they charge, they are not even meeting the standard of a pack of ramen noodles!!! I’m truly disappointed ! I don’t know how they are staying in business ! If my food had cost a dollar it still would’ve been too much !
I will never eat here again ! I hope the old fish doesn’t give me food poisoning !
