Lucky's

“I came here one hour before closing time. Unfortunately the whole service counter was closed and many of the dishes were gone. The guy let me know that there was only oxtail and jerk chicken left. Starving of course I tried the jerk chicken plate. It was rather dry, presumably because it was the end of the day. The rice and peas had no flavor to it also, but the stew cabbage was nice. I don't know if I will be back but I hope the stay with the menu next time.”

“I was in the area and I did a search for Caribbean food. I clicked on this place and saw that they had a 4.6/5. I clicked on the review section and the first one that I read said that's it's the best she's ever had in NY, then went on to specify that the Oxtail specifically is what she was raving about. Turns out that's exactly what I was in the mood for. I went there around 1:30pm on a Wednesday, it wasn't crowded at all. Nothing fancy inside or out but it's a tad about a hole in the wall. I ordered the Oxtail with white rice and I ordered their in-house fruit punch. It was already bottled and sealed. A nice older lady served me and she was very polite. The other two men that worked alongside her seemed very nice as well. The Oxtail was really good but it's not the best that I had in NY. However I do feel comfortable recommending it to people. Parking is a pain, because there is some sort of collision repair nearby, and they have all their cars taking up the parking spots”

“The best Jamaican food I've had in NY!!!! Best oxtail to be specific! Meat is so tender and falls off the bone. Super saucy and the rice and beans are perfection. The cabbage is shredded nicely and very well-seasoned too. I'd also recommend the beef patty, chicken patty, dumplings, Mac and cheese and sorrel! Amazing quality Forma great price. Only going to Lucky's from now now!!”
