You cannot trust Yelp reviews. Sometimes I wonder if a competitive restaurant is intentionally writing bad reviews in order to sway opinion.
Hhahahah they always do. Restaurants have bad bloods with eachother
yelp and google for the most part, I trust facebook a little more since those people most of times have a face and its their personal profile. But agree, you cannot trust yelp
Yelp reviews are retarded. The 1% who didn't like the service, goods, food, etc...are the ones who leave negative reviews.
I think Daym is choosing biased Best/Worst restaurants. The places he’s selecting have low ratings but also low number of reviews. It’s essentially a low sample size. There might be places with slightly better ratings but 3x as many reviews, making it an overall worse restaurant.
@@TheXxgecko that would make sense, since those are the businesses that get hurt the most. Low number of reviews with mostly bad reviews. He is at least giving them a chance and seeing if the reviews hold true or not.
That's how oxtail is supposed to be. It has a very unique texture as it's the stewed gelatinous meat between the bones of the tail. Those little soft pieces you were wondering about are called "spinners" and they're like dumplings usually cooked with oxtail.
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Thank you for clearing that up .... because if your not a REAL Jamaican 🇯🇲 your not going to understand how the food suppose to taste and be ....
Spinners don't cook with oxtail, potato yes broad bean yes but spinners no it's not soup or stew peas
@@xXGreyageXx that's true
Yesss thank u 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Good on you for approaching a restaurant with an open mind and without letting negative reviews get to you. Love this channel.
I love how, the world around, “poor folks” food is similar, and delicious. Growing up, my mom made the most wonderful shortening bread, soaked with butter and blackstrap molasses, and this was served with oxtail soup and a side of plain spaghetti fried in butter and black pepper. She made the best black eyed peas with ham hocks and purple onion, and that was served with honey cornbread and turnip or mustard greens. And dessert was usually pecan pie or chocolate sheet cake.
It really is an interesting thing...my theory has always been that people who really have to put serious thought in to both what they can afford to get AND how they can dress it up/spice it/etc. to make it last (or stretch it, or hide the fact that the ingredients are lower quality) just develop better abilities to manipulate flavor and ingredients in ways that resonate with the average person. Something I've noticed with people who have lots of money is that they rarely (if ever) personally cook or make food and are heavily influenced by expectation and reputation.
"Poor folk" have the motivation and interest in making the average or even sub-standard taste extraordinary, and I think that's why we consistently see what you're talking about around the world.
Dining out has a weird ratio/curve in terms of cost/quality. The difference between say a $5 steak at some diner and a $20ish steak at a decent place is exponential, I mean the latter is 10 or 20 times better in every way (at least in my experience). But the difference between a $20 steak and an $80 steak is minimal, at least in the few times I've been lucky enough to have something of that price point.
One of the richest people I know has an undisputed favorite restaurant/belief of what the best-tasting meal you can buy is. It's...Outback Steakhouse, the 12oz Ribeye medium-rare with mashed potatoes and French Onion Soup.
Don't get me wrong, that's a tasty meal, but like....yeah.
Yes please to ALL of that
I've got a 12-yr-old son and when we go on roadtrips, he'll spend hours reading me yelp reviews of restaurants in whatever town we're heading to that night. He'll spend an hour deciding between Del Taco and Taco Bell. Oh, it's just super. Can't turn on the radio, 'cause that will interrupt him. So I'm going to set him on to this video series, maybe with a pair of headphones, and hope for some peace and quiet on our next road trip.
Hahah have a nice next trip, you should get him into making some reviews if it’s some thing he enjoys 😊
Uu
Go to del taco they got....
FRE SHAVACADO
Pretty weird kid
Jacob Robert had a strong feeling someone would say that
14:01 we call them spinners , its basically small dumplings that cook in the stew
What I love the most about the videos is Daym's interactions with people. He's so natural; big personality.
sometimes these yelp reviews are coming from people that are trying a certain ethnic food for the first time and decide they didn't like it
sometimes some of these reviews are from people having a bad day
or sometimes the restaurant is having a good day and subverts the expectations set by the reviews
That was dope what you did at the end Daym! That’s good looking out my boy! Showing them some love.. that’s what it’s all about brother.✊
I hope you're leaving your own Yelp reviews my dude. Let the people know there too! Leave ya channel name in that joint too lol
Boy u look serious in ur pic😂

"It breaks up like cops break up a party" 😭😭😭😭😭😭 that line is a 5 piece
They could have improved their recipes over time. I'm a chef and I'm constantly improving old recipes. For example, my mac and cheese now tastes WAY better than it did a few years ago. I've tweaked my own recipes and it worked. So those reviews could have been genuine back then but you could have experienced the new and improved version. It happens.
That’s wonderful. They deserved some love. That food looked good.
Love the best and worst videos.. keep em coming!
It's a great idea! He may have hit the gold mine with this one..
Me too!! Love em!!!
yo, i was like wtf is callalo, i started doubting my own nationality until i decided to read and realized he was trying to say cah-lah-loo
😂😂
riiiiight bro... i was here questioning if im really trini 😂😂😂
Yeah my wife(who is from Jamaica) giggled the first time I tried to pronounce it to. 😂
I was like what is he talking about
The difficult part of this... most patties are manufactured and shipped to these places unless they specifically say they make their own(rare). They are usually great unless burned in the baking process, so you are going to get a pretty uniform good taste on that. The other thing that I have learned about some of my fav. restaurants is that you have different cooks doing hella different shit when it come to food prep!!! I know for example when to go to my fav chinese place(evenings) because it better prepared that lunch time... it's like they're leaving out some sort of spice or important ingredient! I personally prefer consistent mediocrity to inconsistent perfection... that bi-polar dining does not work for me. Unless, of course, you can figure out the secret of the best time(who's cooking) to go there!
Must be that extra spoon of msg lol
These best and worst videos are great Daym keep it up
In my experience, expectation is HUGE. Just wondering how different your reaction would be if this restaurant was the top rated.
Underated comment. Overselling is poisonous
It's a Jamaican restaurant, what do you think he expected ;)
Daym drops isn't afraid to rate the food bad or good, abt half of these he rates higher or lower than expected
I've never had Jamaican food but it looks very delicious.
Go get yourself some asap.
Caribbean food in general is so good.
you gotta try it one day.... very flavourful food and usually very nice staff.... sometimes. while youre at it try trini food :)
Haitian good is definitely a Caribbean food you shouldn’t miss on!!
This was so genuine, I loved this. 🖤
U got to get the rice and peas when at the Jamaican spots with the cabbage on the side
Facts and the sweet plaintain on the side
@@xRiCoSuAv3x luv
Cabbage is super plain nothing like soul food cabbage but the rice and peas give me life, I love it!!!
That white rice ain’t it chief!!
Need rice and peas
Agreed! Only time white rice is ok is eating Curry. I love the taste of rice and peas because of the coconut milk. Yum!
Yeah, first thing I noticed. Why the heck they rocking with white rice?
Simply ask for rice & peas or white rice.........
Yeah they call it bare foot rice, needs the red peas.
imillnotsick420 my family is Jamaican and I never heard it called “barefoot rice” lol it’s always a simple “white rice” but maybe dialect differs between parishes.
One love!
I love how intense but wholesome your personality is... you've got real camera presence but not in an assholeish or sugary fake way. I cracked TF up over so many reactions and commentary bits in your other videos. Bless your channel and career bruh
When a restaurant claims it's Jamaican, the first thing to do in order to verify authenticity is to simply scan the wall of the restaurant for a random portrait of a beach. A subtle but crucial clue, which can be spotted here for example 07:17
I like the dude. He’s good with his reviews and specific on what he is talking about. You should bring in on your reviewed videos now.
agreed!
Heather M yeah bro
I'm a simple man
I see Ichigo
I click like 👍👍👍
GetOffMyLawn 1996 hahaha yeah bleach is the best! I hope the anime comes back
GetOffMyLawn 1996 Just noticed you have Toshiro as your avatar. Nice!
It looks like good soul food. The location and inside of the restaurant isn’t the fanciest obviously, but there’s a lot of hidden gem restaurants that give off that same vibe
I love the vibe this man gives in every video I watch I find myself smiling because of his enjoyable personality and I feel ashamed that I probably won't have the opportunity to meet this pleasant man that you know you'll be able to laugh with after only talking for a few minutes
We need more people like this man
The Fact you told them at the end you liked their food that much, was very nice of you.
Those little acts of kindness goes a long way and probably made their day, thumbs up man!
Cool videos, funny and legit
Daym i live in ct go to DunnRiver that place is super official. Its a Jamaican food spot. I highly recommend.
Never trust reviews! Always check it out for yourself👌🏽
@Tahir lol 😆 😂
I'm Jamaican and it looks cool just have to try it out! And tell you boy in the video the the Beef patties are supposed to have flicks coming off dem that's how you know items official Haha
Curry goat with cabbage and fried plantains, that's my favorite!
The ladies sounded like really lovely people 😍
Thoses were dumplings next to the oxtail
Yeah, they are called spinners/dumpling spinners.
That's good to know. I was afraid it was like testicle sacs or something lol.
Lmao they were all scared 😂
Flout and water shaped up and boiled
Funniest thing: over here in southern Germany, we have that kind of dumplings, too. They're called "Schupfnudeln" or in my region, "Buabaschbitzle" - which roughly translates to "boys' penises". I'm not kidding.
As someone born and raised from New Britain CT, I really enjoy these videos and seeing the surrounding areas getting love.
I love your reviews,especially how you give every place a fair shot! Keep up the good work man! I found you watching badlands chugs!
Love these keep it up daym
Their business will explode from this review. If I wasn't in San Diego, I'd go there now. Jerk chx looked awesome. All the best to you and your family.
premier entertainment tv Try “One Love” in Oceanside. Its decent
Dutch pot in my area is like a Jamaican restaurant McDonald's basically, it's lackluster and generic but I'm in south Florida and we got plenty of Jamaican restaurants to choose from. Dutch Pot is just like the generic version for the masses, like Golden Krust Patties... meh...
I want some ox tails now lol
Not sure if the business exploded but their reviews haven't improved. They are still getting low reviews on Yelp
Yes that was dumplings next to the oxtail lol I'm surprised you didn't like it😔
Now this is what a good review should be like...I know 100% that restaurant owner appreciated your honest blind review of her restaurant
That's pronounced "cah-lah-loo"...they kind've spelled it wrong too.
Bill n Claire Hustable had that one night on The Cosby Show.
you spelt it wrong bro it's callaloo.....goes very nice with salt fish and some fried or boiled dumplings just so you know (:
@@vsopvisionsstartedoverpain9636 we say and spell it here in the USVI that way too
we spell it callaloo in trinidad
He typed out how its pronounced he nvr said that's how it's spelt
Look at the Batman cape 😂😂😂😂
Oxtails is a must!!! I prefer that over anything. You should have gotten the peas and rice, mixed cabbage and plantains!!!
Curtis Child of God Seligmiller 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
That whole combination is a staple in the jamaican community. That combo is a MUST 💪💪💪
Curtis Child of God Seligmiller brown stew chicken, rice and peas, fried dumpling and some plantain for me my g!
Maybe a likkle piece of callaloo on the side too
Damn I need my pops’ saltfish fritters in my life now!
😫😫
Acki and saltfish
Oxtail should be tender not chewy idk what kind of oxtail that was it looked hard
That chicken and ox tail looked delicious! Got me wishing I had some good Jamaican around me.
@Are you a Hutu or a Tutsi? how was it?
never heard of coco bread in my life but all of a sudden im craving it
You must try it. Oh so good
Same
Coco bread is so good especially when its soft.
What the fresh coco bread is popping with a nice spicy beef patty 😍😋
Kevin King you’re missing something out of your life!
I love that ur positive and out here LIFTING people up...definitely will be watching more. God bless man. Great video.
All time food reviewer/critic in my opinion!! Truthful, respectful, humble, and entertaining as Hell! Keep ‘em coming Daym!
2 Things they short changed you on the oxtails they should come with butter beans instead of spinners and they should have gave rice and peas and plantains with the jerk chicken!
Exactly like what type of foolishness is that spinners with oxtail like it's some type of stew peas or soup kmrt
Was hoping you would try the Porridge, since it got a lot of the negative stuff. I’m glad you gave them a chance & enjoyed it
used to watch you heavy back in the og days. you popped up in my recommends and its good to see you still dropping good content bro !
Enjoying this. My first time watching but you have a new subscriber. Thank you for this!
You should try some Trini joints like Bobby B's roti shop
Darryl Ramanan my fav spot in Bridgeport
I’m really liking this best and worst series. Keeping it 100 even thru your struggles. Praying for you, by the way.
This is why I trust videos over text reviews. You actually get to see the whole experience and the food in real time. That jerk chicken looks so good it got my mouth watering
Love your enthusiasm dude, keep up the great vids !
I've seen Jamaican restaurants in my area switch chefs alot maybe thats it also the food usually isnt cooked the same day so that could be it too you mite have just lucked up and pulled up on the right day
Way to give Dutch Pot a reDAYMption!!!! See what I did there? :D
Great review big Daym keep em coming bro
Love the review! Keep em coming!
Oxtails are my favorite! Yummy
My girlfriend is Jamaican. And she turned me on to oxtails. Delicious
I agree sista!
*oxtail
Try some soul food restaurants next. And Italian too. Keep up the great work I love these reviews.
Man I love this dude. Most reviewers would have just hated just because of the reviews. He ACTUALLY gave his honest opinion.
Hey Daym I like how you read the entire Yelp review, on many other channels that do this type of content they just skim the Yelp review and I find myself having to rewind and pause to read the whole review. I love how you read the whole thing.
That was a spinna aka a cigar or cigarette shaped boiled dumpling
When Mr. Daym closes that left eye, you KNOW the food is good! 😁🤣
You're the man Daym, keeping it real, helping people who deserve it.
Love these videos! Funny as hell!
The oxtail round my way (Edmonton, London) is excellent, soft, gelatinous and tasty as hell, great sauce and goes well with their rice and peas.
probably a NDP voter
No way bro. Saz on berlin turnpike in newington,ct is the worst. They served my son boxed mac and cheese and gave me all burnt food. Worst jamacain restaurant ever
Bro, this straight up bringing me back to my army days. We got a sergeant transferred over to or unit that had been on base for 10 years. Legit knew every dive and joint I'm the 3 cities around Campbell. Walk in one day to her and my buddy debating what better, Jamaican or Ethiopian. I sided with my buddy and she asked why. Told her I'd never had Jamaican food in my life. Not kidding you, 10 minutes later we are in her car driving to a little hole in the wall resteraunt next to a head shop. Got me oxtails and rice, beef patty, and a Ginger Beer. Not even kidding when I saw that was one of the best damn meals of my life
I'm liking your reviews, thank you
NOT GONNA LIE IM FROM THE BRONX NY AND ITS LITTLE JAMAICA WHERE I LIVE SO ITS A PLETHORA OF JAMAICAN SPOTS AND OFF THE RIP THE PATTIES AND COCO BREAD ON POINT THE JERK CHICKEN WAS LOOKING FLAWLESS AND OXTAILS WERE DECENT LOOKING
I'm loving this and the reactions are great. 👍👍👍
When the porridge is made correctly it’s amazing! My grandmother and uncle use to make it from scratch omg so good
dang it. every time i watch a Daym Drops food review, I start jonesing for whatever you just reviewed...
Daym, I respect you going to the counter and letting them know that they got a raw deal on Yelp. Yelp is often unreliable, and hopefully this takes a step to them getting their reputation back. Respect!
Daym that first guy sounds like you with the food description.
Wats first guys name?
I'm so happy your vids popped into my suggested. I'm from CT too!
13:24 is me when the food be tasting like heaven and I’m full but keep eating 😂💀
Loving these.
Dude you were in love with the people and atmosphere, more than the food. You were served your sit down food in to go containers, the amounts were pretty miniscule and the dishes simple as they come. Sometimes you wanna love something so bad and become bias.
Have really been enjoying these!
It's so cool that a low star restaurant get such a good review from you! I hope everybody in your city sees this and get their business all the customers they deserve!
Daym where did you get that NorthFace Jacket from....I am 6’9 270
damn u tall glass of water
the NBA draft combine.
In my neighborhood, if they got those signs with pictures of their food all around their door, then their food is probably pretty damn good
Same
That little thing was a dumpling. It’s flour ans water rolled ans cooked with the meat at the very end.
Touch of class sir to talk to the lady after your meal! My best Jamaican food experience, jerk chicken on a beach at Montego Bay with a cold Red Stripe, priceless!
I was wondering when you’d find a “worst” that was actually good. Perhaps one day you’ll find a “best” that’s not that great. This just goes to show, you should always form your own opinion.
Daym, I like it that you're a more serious reviewer these days. I've been watching you long enough to remember how outrageous you used to be. I like both the old you and the new you. Smart move bro. I'm still here watching you.
I used to buy beef patties from a little store in Manchester CT, for the princely sum of $1. They were amazing - particularly in the way they walked the line between "it's awesomely spiced!" and "I think this may be too hot for me". There's a thriving Jamaican community in Manchester, so excellent little restaurants are plentiful.
I am a new subscriber, since just yesterday - Great channel, fair reviews, and entertaining! I occasionally give restaurant reviews too - I score places highly on effort. I will watch more of your channel. :)
Well damn im hungry now 😐
Bruh come down to South Florida, Dutch Pots is everywhere and always packed
iRated Gaming Hell yeah, there’s a new one better than Dutch Pot in Fort Lauderdale Fern Gully Café. And also there’s a Jamaican Bistro in Boca Raton you have to try Rocksteady Jamaican Bistro. Their Jerk Chicken Sandwich with Mango Jerk sauce on Coco Bread is Amazing!!
I'm gonna try this place out. I respect that you gave this place a chance. Small businesses are the heart of our communities.
Daym I'm loving the Best and Worst Reviewed food spot videos Fam, KEEP IT UP!!!!
Daym: "Don't look at me, look at the jerk chicken!"
Me: *"I'm looking at you!"*
I can’t trust yelp reviews. I think rival restaurants sometimes send negative reviews 🤷🏽♀️ love ur channel
Hey, Daym, do you think you could ever review some Brazilian food places? I don't actually know if it's hard to find one of those up there but I would like to see you try some traditional food from my country. On another subject I remember watching your channel a lot when I was younger and always envying the things you got to try, specially that five guys burger. Coming back to your channel and see that you are still doing your stuff and still being, well... You, just makes me happy, keep in going, Daym
I gotta try this cocoa Brea with the beef patty in the middle. I LOVE these videos. I work second shift at a hospital and I come home and always look for your videos bruh. Been down since the Little Cesar's bacon crust joint
