“I am a frequent customer, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is very pleasant to be in. They offer a lot of different services and are very kind and giving. It is a wonderful family run restaurant, they are very active in the community and is a very positive influence to the hartford community! Hands down the best Jamacian food.“
“(Note: This review is for the Albany Ave. location) This won't be a popular review. For decades my family would frequent Scott's Bakery. We loved everything that they offered (hardo bread, beef patty, coco bread, plantain tart and so on). When I said we liked EVERYTHING, I mean it. Everything was on point!! Yesterday was my first time (and last time) going into Scott's in about a decade plus. It is clear that management has changed (if not management, something has gone horribly wrong). The shell of the patty was beyond thick and there was little meat in it. The coco bread was beyond disgusting! It was a flavorless clump of undercooked dough. You know how coco bread is supposed to taste. It didn't taste like that at all. It seems as though they've cut corners on their peanut punch which had a gell-like texture. The BEST part of everything that I purchased was the Cola Champagne. As long as they continue to use the same distributor they can't mess that up. Maybe they had a bad day. I won't be spending money to find out.“
“THE best Jamaican food I've had! The staff is quick & friendly & prices are very low ESPECIALLY when you consider the amount of food you get. Try the mac & cheese, it's amazing. They stay open very late tooParking: The parking lot is a bit small but I've never had a problem parking more than a minute walk to the door“
“Rarely any pork dishes but all other Jamaican Faire I believe. I've never ordered pepper shrimp or fish so maybe they have it maybe not.Parking: You can park on the street but most of it is bus stop and the other side of the street is free and a shared lot with a liquor store so it's always revolvingWheelchair accessibility: Not accessible, stairs into the building“

“Great food, some of the best ox tails I've ever had. Beef patties are ok. Jerk Wings are amazing!! Service is good, you can tell it's someone's mom or grandma in the back cooking because it's hands down delicious. Pricing is reasonable for home cooked food. Ambience if good, love that they painted the building years back and gave it a nicer look. They have both street and onsite parking.“
“Came on a Sunday and ordered a decent amount of food for my family . 1 large meal with fried chicken n jerk pork , Soup and 2 small chicken meals . The woman serving me had a little attitude but then eventually made an effort to be more pleasant after I matched her energy . The food was good though and I’ll be back ??“
“Ordered a beef patty and coco bread, tasted just as it should, beef patty was warm and tasted good, coco bread was soft and warm as expected. The lady who served me was nice and polite with her service nothing more was needed.Seen some other reviews and I think people who don’t grow up in the islands or from a Caribbean background expect to much.Atmosphere rated low just due to outside lingering people but expected in the city and a hotspot strip for restaurants and stores.“
“This restaurant is a hidden gem. Every time I enter the restaurant the gentleman always greets and asked how can I help. The service and the food is excellent it’s fresh and you always get service with a smile. I highly recommend eating here if your looking for some island cuisine.“
“The Jerk Pork was amazing when I ordered it. The vibe is extremely authentic and the staff is extremely great. Shanay who took my order was extremely friendly and provided great service. I recommend this restaurant to my family and friends.“
