Potluck Restaurant

Mass confusion. Waited very long to order, was asked to have a seat till done serving customers before me but then proceeded to take the next customer who just walked in. Ok no big deal.
Finally ordered a bone-​in chicken roti and a small jerk chicken plate. Again more confusion. Finally got our food.
How was the food? Ok, the curry in the roti was flavourful and eventually I removed the roti and just ate that because the roti was hard as a rock. My plastic fork and knife couldn’t begin to cut it and even ripping it apart by hand was too difficult. It was pre-​prepared and then microwaved and then cooled because I certainly didn’t get warm food. The jerk chicken again was flavorful and that was nice.
Now for payment, got BACK in line to pay and waited while they tried to figure out what they were doing with other people’s orders. Another 10 minutes in line and finally paid. What did I pay? No idea because it certainly didn’t add up to what was on the menu board. He explained that they have new pricing (which isn’t published?). At any rate, paid the extra $ 5 I was charged and left because I couldn’t deal anymore.
If it hadn’t been for the decent chicken curry and jerk chicken, I would have given it one star.

My first visit with a co-​worker and I went straight for the Cadillac meal. The Oxtail and a large size I might add. I even requested for their homemade hot sauce. I have to say that it was nice meal not blowing off my socks great but it was nice. Their coleslaw is pretty good has a nice crunch to it and not to sweet or sour just right. The pieces of oxtail were kind of small but I guess they had to chop them down. Overall is would I revisit… Yes of course.

The go to place for jerk chicken , don’t forget the coleslaw and ox gravy. Reasonable prices

Oxtail and rice and beans please… do you have any?
We live nearby and when we feel like Caribbean food we’ll go and get take out. However, often times more than not, everything we want is sold out. Roti, is always sold out. Jerk chicken, is always sold out. Ox tail however, is sometimes available and when it is available, man it’s good. Fall off the bone, savoury gravy, fantastic with the rice and beans. Also, their «veggie» is coleslaw.
Once, I saw a customer order festivals and I have to say they looked delicious!
So go earlier in the day, maybe they’ll have some more options for lunch than dinner.
Friendly smiles, and helpful whenever I have questions, Potluck is a great neighbourhood addition!

I had a bit of time to kill before an event I attended at the Mississauga Convention Centre. Driving passed the MCC, I decide to go into this new strip plaza figuring there would be something. As soon as I stumbled on Potluck, it got me. Then the question became whether it was Trini or Jamaican food. Saw the menu and jerk chicken was front and centre.
I actually wanted the callaloo and saltfish. They said they didn’t have any. You know it’s a West Indian thing when they don’t feel like making something. The guy’s half-​assed no told the tale.
So I went for the small jerk chicken breast with rice and steamed veggies. The sauce was an oxtail sauce over the rice. The bed of rice was massive. The jerk was kinda spicy so I had to add lots of hot sauce. With water, the total came under $ 10.
If it wasn’t for the fact I didn’t get my callaloo and saltfish, I would have rated this place a 4. I mean it’s not a bad place but of course since I’m half Trini, you know Jamaican food will always get lower grades. HAHA!
