Crooklyn New York Caribbean Cuisine

Disappointed, I was expecting the lunch special for 8.95, showed up at 1:35 pm and he said the special was over, no times listed near the lunch special sign, which is very shady and deceptive.
The drive thru is not meant for big body cars, can't even accommodate my car without having to reverse and pull in while going to the pick up window🙄.
Jerk chicken was not seasoned or marinated ,nor smoked like a true Jamaican would do, all they did was squeeze jerk sauce on the chicken and it wasn't spicy at all.
The mac n cheese is wet and okay I guess if your a little high.
The plantains were okay, they were a little too soft but edible.
The rice n peas taste like he threw in some canned beans in some uncle Ben's rice, overall rating, a 1.
He's a crook, so the business name makes sense.

We ordered the curry chicken with white rice and Mac n cheese, jerk chicken with collard greens and a beef Patty.
I don’t really care for curry chicken but my lovely lady said it was almost as good as her granny used to make so they must be doing something right.
Collars weren’t really what I’m used to but the Mac n cheese was great and the beef Patty was very good.
I’d only had frozen Store bought Jamaican Pattie’s for my girlfriend is half Jamaican and loves them but these were so much better.
The servings were large enough for two meals aswell as you can see in the pictures her plate she had left over put together at home.

This is GREAT eats.
I had the jerk pork; it was delicious.
It was not as spicy hot as previous jerk dishes I've eaten, but it was much tastier.
I got the mac n cheese and the rice with peas, both were amazing. I want to try other dishes at Crooklyn's but I loved the above mentioned order so much I can't wait to get it again, so the new will have to wait. It is not in the best part of town, but it is worth the trip.
They are gracious and good humored.
If you like Jamaican cooking, you will not regret it.
