The Scotch Bonnet Kitchen - Trenton

Scotch Bonnet is my go-to spot whenever I’m in the mood for Caribbean food. The food is consistently excellent—full of authentic flavor, well-prepared, and always satisfying. The service matches the quality of the food: fast, friendly, and professional. A special shoutout to Ingrid, the young lady who works out front. She truly makes the experience even more enjoyable. Her friendly chats, warm personality, and helpful menu suggestions always make it a pleasure to visit. Conversations with her are genuine, welcoming, and add a personal touch that keeps me coming back. Great food, great service, and great people—Scotch Bonnet never disappoints.

Best Jamaican food I ever had and I’ve had a lot! The place was super clean and the young lady helping us was SUPER friendly which made the experience even better. I hate to say this, many establishments act as if you owe them something or you’re bothering them. Not this place, the whole experience was great from the time I entered to the time I left. The only reason I spent a lot is because we never been and wanted to try a few things. The prices were in the normal range as other places, maybe a few dollars more but it was worth it. In the photo is a beef patty, stew beef, stew chicken and oxtail. The crust of the patty was perfectly balanced with that nice soft crisp when biting into a pastry. Best beef patty I ever had. I’m so glad I researched a new spot to try. I will be returning

I visit this store particularly for beef patty. The taste is awesome and has remained consistent over the years. I decided to try rice and peas and oxtail. First of all, $32 for a large plate seemed steep to me then to add insult to injury, the portion was little and the meat was hard. The taste was ok. I will continue to patronize this store for beef patty ONLY.

We had our take-out from The Scotch Bonnet Kitchen last night. It was our fist experience with this research, and it is difficult to leave a review after sampling one dish only. But our oxtail stew was very good. Even though it was priced somewhat higher than what offer other area's Jamaican and Creole restaurants, the overall impression was good. The trick with oxtail is the proportion of meat vs side dishes. The Scotch Bonnet Kitchen gives you quite a lot of meat. The choice of sides is very good too. The food preparation is delicious. Even though the restaurant is located some distance from us (Ewing to Mercerville), the food arrived hot and securely packaged, no spills. We will definitely order from The Scotch Bonnet Kitchen again.

I placed a delivery order so I cannot speak about the service or the atmosphere. The food was delicious though! The oxtails were very tender and well seasoned. The cabbage was also good and there was enough in the small portion for two meals. I will definitely order again!
