The Scotch Bonnet Kitchen - Trenton

"We walked in an ordered jersey pork an chicken. We We left out in the front for a very long time with no update on order. The food was very bad. We could not enjoy the pork because it was very tough. Very hard to chew and not at all edible.the chicken too was tough. I had jersey but this was poor representation."

"I wish I didnt have to do this but Ive been eating here for a while. Usually good service and decent food.. I really only go for the Banana Pudding thats catered there… Yesterday I found a nail in my cabbage, as I took a spoonful of it… complete and utter disgust immediately after i spit it out… I went back to the store to show them, and to ask for my money back. Now in that moment , I wasn’t trying to make a scene because they had customers actively coming in. I pulled the lady to the side that does the register and explained to her what I found. She immediately laughed in my face and denied it. The cooks from the back came out ina very hostile way and told me no one wears nails there. Now granted , WHOEVER WASHED THE CABBAGE that weekend or week easily couldve lost a disgusting nail, and its the same color as the cabbage!!! No refund was offered not even a partial one, they were sooooo rude to me!! Even AFTER I tried to not a make a scene."

"I really enjoyed the food I received from here! I came in around noon on a Friday, it was not busy, and I was able to receive my order relatively quickly. I ordered the goat soup that they only have on Fridays and a side of rice and peas. That goat meat was the most tender goat I have ever had in all my experiences with Caribbean cuisine! I ordered a small and wish I got a large, it was so good! The rice and peas were perfect as well! The only reason I rated a 4 is because for my small soup & small side of rice, my total was about 15 dollars, which is pretty expensive for a minimal order. But other than that, I would recommend and I will go back!"

"Best Jamaican food I ever had and I’ve had a lot! The place was super clean and the young lady helping us was SUPER friendly which made the experience even better. I hate to say this, many establishments act as if you owe them something or you’re bothering them. Not this place, the whole experience was great from the time I entered to the time I left. The only reason I spent a lot is because we never been and wanted to try a few things. The prices were in the normal range as other places, maybe a few dollars more but it was worth it. In the photo is a beef patty, stew beef, stew chicken and oxtail. The crust of the patty was perfectly balanced with that nice soft crisp when biting into a pastry. Best beef patty I ever had. I’m so glad I researched a new spot to try. I will be returning often. For those that like lighthouse in the area, FORGET IT! If you want 5 star food and service go here."

"We had our take-out from The Scotch Bonnet Kitchen last night. It was our fist experience with this research, and it is difficult to leave a review after sampling one dish only. But our oxtail stew was very good. Even though it was priced somewhat higher than what offer other area's Jamaican and Creole restaurants, the overall impression was good. The trick with oxtail is the proportion of meat vs side dishes. The Scotch Bonnet Kitchen gives you quite a lot of meat. The choice of sides is very good too. The food preparation is delicious. Even though the restaurant is located some distance from us (Ewing to Mercerville), the food arrived hot and securely packaged, no spills. We will definitely order from The Scotch Bonnet Kitchen again."
