First Choice Caribbean

"Ordered a large oxtail dinner ($22) and it was a plate of rice no beans 4 small oxtail. The rice tasted burnt...not real carribean at all...overall the food was disgusting and overpriced gor the amount of nothing you get...never again"

"Fried chicken tasted and smelled spoiled. Also it was overly salty, probably to distract the spoiled taste. Rice and peas was very dry, fresh and tough (No flavor). Very small portions for the price. Jerk chicken wasn’t too bad, it was edible. Chicken soup tasted okay as well."

"Oooooohhhhhhh soooo good. I’ve not been here in quite sometime and the last time he had a buffet but that’s ok. I had jerk chicken with rice and beans, cabbage and plantains. It was absolutely delicious and hot. My next time will be goat and oxtail. Looking forward to next time."

"Had a taste for some oxtail and didn't want to drive to Albany, so I googled an found this place 6mins from my house. I ordered a small oxtail dinner with rice and peas, Cabbage and plantains. I get home sit down to eat, not only did I find a piece of plastic wrap in my food, there is not one single pea in my rice and the plantains are not cooked properly. In addition to that, the smell of the food leaves little to be desired. Lastly, the slice of lemon cake is horribly dry."

"I've been to First Choice on and off over the years, mainly because I don't live in Troy. Despite that, I can't recall ever being disappointed with the food. The owner was kind and pleasant as always. The chicken was delicious and flavorful. The plantains were nice and sweet. The cabbage was okay and the rice was bland. Because I usually love the food I will try again in the future. I'm hoping that yesterday was just an off day for them."
