Halsey Street Grill

I like to think of Halsey Street Grill as the new rival to its neighboring soul food spot Royal Rib House which located just down the block. Unlike the Royal Rib House, Halsey Street Grill offers inexpensive combos and they are open 7 days a week. Behind the partitioned glass the food is laid out buffet style allowing you to get a good look at your food before you order but because of the small size of the restaurant and antsy servers sometimes you may feel rushed into making a quick decision. The sides range from steamed veggies, yams and rice and hand cut french fries. The seafood has to be the best value with a 10 pc. jumbo shrimp and chips combo for $7! The turkey wings were a bit under cooked, vegetarians may want to skip the collard greens because they are cooked with some kind of meat, the macaroni and cheese reminded me of a trini "macaroni pie" being as the cheese was mainly on top of the noodles, the whiting fish and chicken wings are delicious as well. There is the option to order online or by phone and have your food delivered opposed to picking it up. However, you'll be lucky if someone answers the phone and I've heard the delivery wait is ridiculous! On a 1-10 I'd rate this place a 6.5. Although there is a variety of menu choices the most important thing is quality over quantity
