Dolly's Jerk Joint

Tom Frank

Tonight I ordered from this place: my neighbor. I've ordered several times since the place opened a few years ago, but my limited income doesn't allow me to buy take out very often. When i do...it's most often Dolly's. Ordered at 4:30 pm and told her I'd pick it up at 5:30pm to give her enough time to make it (all food is freshly made and prepared from scratch). When I arrived at 5:30, she was super apologetic, as she had been hit with multiple orders from other customers that wanted their food sooner (since it was around the supper hour) and she hadn't yet had time to prepare my order. I didn't mind and at the time, I inquired about if she had bottled her jerk sauce for sale to the public. She said yes, and said she would include a bottle with my order free, to make up for my order not having yet been made. I thanked her for her gift to me; as I didn't expect her to give it to me for nothing. When I arrived at 6pm to retrieve my order; she also gave me an extra beef patty. I never asked for anything special; but Dolly just threw in these 2 extra items at no charge (a $14-16 value, before tax). Her unexpected act of kindness was much appreciated and also shows to her business acumen. Dolly's takes care of their customers AND sells great tasting Caribbean food. If you want a real authentic taste of the Caribbean, and awesome great friendly service; you GOTTA check this place out!

For more unique local food spots check out @first_big_bite on Instagram. This small spot really stands out!!! Bright signage, seating out front, and the music is pumping. Everyone was so friendly and the food was so fresh! Pictured here is the Curry Chicken Roti. This was absolutely amazing. So much flavour, chunks of chicken, and the Roti. I mean wow! Watching this made fresh in front of me was incredible. Roti is a soft, thin, flatbread cooked on a flat cast-iron pot called a Tawa. I also enjoyed a Jamaican Beef Patty. It was perfection! Made in-house, stuffed with meat, and the perfect amount of spice to heat ratio. This is a must try location. Make sure you check it out.

Visited Sarnia for work and decided to try this place (I always prefer supporting local) . I ordered the jerk chicken dinner (jerk chicken, rice, coleslaw). Individually, the parts of the meal were just "OK" (OK, the sauce was really good), but putting them altogether and... BAM! The combination of flavours was fantastic! The chicken was falling off the bone tender. One of the best jerk chicken I've had. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood.
