Johnny’s Number #1 Caribbean Hut

Visited on my way home. I love my jerk chicken and have eaten in many venues. As you will see, I am no stranger to trip advisor reviews! I had a “large” portion with nice rice and peas and basically most of an o massively overcooked breast of chicken, one wonders what a small portion would be. Staff are pleasant enough, lots of choices of things on sale but after the chicken dish I won’t be returning sadly despite jerk chicken being one of my favourite foods

I can’t believe this place is still ‘cooking’ Caribbean food. Had the misfortune to go here a few years’ back where they had the audacity to charge for a portion of curry goat bones! Any West Indian person knows YOU DO NOT DO THIS! It’s an insult and disrespectful. We always give ample portions and are hospitable. It’s part of our culture to make sure people are well fed. Something they quite clearly know nothing about. Another thing West Indians are high on is HYGIENE. They have a ‘one star’ hygiene rating which says it all. Please Do not go here if you want authentic Caribbean food there are other quality West Indian restaurants locally. I’m Jamaican descent and can guarantee if you know you’re food or want to try our food this is NOT the place to go!

That hit the spot! I’ve forgotten how powerful Johnny’s was! No “fusion” nonsense, just beautiful home cooked meals. Curry goat was superb (love the bone sucking) I just wish I had gone for a large.

My friend and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed, starters of Salt Fish Fritters and Dumpling. Jerk Chicken and Rice, with Coleslaw and vegetables; Curry Mutton and Rice with Coleslaw and vegetables. Definitely worth every penny and we are looking forward to returning to Southend for the wonderful attractions and eating at Johnny’s #1 Caribbean Hut!! Thank you for making out Sunday meal incredibly delicious!

We had a lovely dining experience at Johnny’s this evening. myself and my boyfriend both had jerk chicken and it was amazing, portion sizes were extremely generous and the taste was unreal. The staff were so lovely and even let us sample their vegan curry. We can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!
