I think it’s been renamed Hunter’s grill. Had some amazing oxtails and rice and beans here. Workers were busy putting out new trays. If you’re into richly flavored, comforting stews, this is a great choice.
Smokey island grill is the only spot I know of where you can create your own plate. For West Indian cuisine, that’s huge because sometimes I don’t want to pick between oxtails, curry goat, jerk, pork, etc. with how much inflation has increased the cost of meat… I love that I can get a little of everything for a decent price in the food is always cooked well. The menu is really large also. They have jerk, fish, fried fish, all of the sides you can imagine, it’s just really good food. The place is small, but I’m not going to eat at West Indian spots. Anyway I usually get my food to go so the coziness of the space doesn’t bother me. They also have homemade juices, and baked goods which are really good. Parking is tough, since it is right on Fulton Street. But if you don’t have someone to sit in the car while you run in and grab your food, it’s definitely worth driving around and finding some parking.
I just came here today for lunch with my aunt. Let’s start with cleanliness… they ask you to use the available disposable gloves and hand sanitizer which is an A+ in my book since it’s self serve. The food was very nicely displayed and everything was fresh. I ended up getting one plate to dine in and then got two to go so my partner at home could taste too. My aunt got an extra one too. Walked in for lunch and walked out with dinner for three. I had the bbq sticky wings with collard greens, cabbage, Mac n cheese, and candied yams with marshmallow on top. Everything was yummy. The yams were my personal fav, not too sweet and just sweet enough, nice and tender. Oh but also the sticky bbq wings were my fav. They stayed nice and crispy fried with the right amount of sauce. Also I saw a couple reviews about it being bland, particularly saw a mention about collard greens but I’d like to say that as a collard green lover you gotta understand that it’s flavored for the population. Southern style is stewed with smoked meat (my personal preference) but I think these greens are Ital (vegan) so the flavor is different. Big Caribbean population in this area as well so I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case. I liked them! Anyway… I brought home two plates - one ox tail and one jerk chicken (pic included) but I haven’t opened them yet so I can’t speak on that but my aunt got oxtail and she loved it (she don’t like nobody ox tail bc it’s always tough). She wrote a review too so if you see a lady raving about cake and ox tail you know who it is 😂 Anyway, this ain’t the place for you to bring a big group to sit down as there are only two decent size tables. There’s room for 6-8 ppl to sit. Nothing fancy but clean so we sat and ate. Very nice staff too! even gave me a new mask when I lost mine. I been here before and I’ll be back again! A very pleasant lunch worth taking the time to write a good review
