Errol's Bakery & Catering

The patties are great :)

cheap and great veggie patties, beef patties, coconut rolls, current rolls, $1 items

I was referred here awhile ago when I was in the neighborhood looking at apartment. I asked the real estate guy where to eat, and after he rattled off a few generic options, I stopped him and said I wanted jerk chicken. I love jerk chicken, I never get to have it, and I knew there were a lot of options in the neighborhood. Errol's was only 5 blocks away and is situated right on a corner. It's a bakery but it makes a variety of West Indian food. After talking politics a bit with the guy behind the counter and grabbing a small jerk chicken platter for like $6, I headed out and ate everything on the subway ride home. It was pretty damn addictive. First off the sauce was on the side which made eating neater and also controlled the spice level. It was a bit heavy on the vinegar but also flavorful and very hot. The chicken quality was decent and I got plenty of skin which is *always* a good thing. They chopped up the bird, breaking the bones which I'm not crazy about, but most take out places do that. The rice, plantains, and veggies were all great. This wasn't fancy eating, but it was a great homestyle meal that was well worth the price and was needed at the time. After Exquisite Delight, this is my go-to!

They are always so friendly and polite. I have lived in the neighborhood for almost 5 yrs, and I have tried almost every Jamaican restaurant in the area, and I must say..if you want a delicious Jamaican breakfast, that is healthy and not too greasy, order their Ackee and salt Fish. .they even have a choice of a variety of dumplings to go along with it- even WHOLE WHEAT DUMPLINGS! !

The best patties (beef, veggie) that I've had. It's a ridiculously good value, too.
