Gary's Jamaican Hot Pot Restaurant

Love the Food, Hate the Service!

I've been going to the Hot Pot for years, have seen it's numerous upgrades in decor and have been very pleased with the consistency of the cuisine.

My favorite is the Curry Goat, it's tender and spicy without burning my sensitive American palate. The Red Snapper Escovietch, Curry Chicken and the Smothered Chicken are also standouts. The rice and peas are just sweet enough, the plaintains are fried just right and the cornbread tastes like mo! (some more) The Collards are nice and crunchy but need some salt.

The one down the service. They always scowl, never give eye contact, say please or thank you and they behave as if waiting on you is the LAST thing they want to do. I get take out and give them nice tips, so maybe they'll realize life doesn't suck, but it hasn't worked yet. Oh well, the food is always GREAT

• Pros: Excellent Food, Affordable, Large portions
• Cons: Server's Attitudes
