I feel very foolish for returning to the ""Hut"" for yet another disappointing dinner. I like to try a place at least twice before I completely write them off. This establishment tricked me three times. The first visit was for takeout jurk chicken that was actually semi frozen in the center, though cooked through. It had obviously been reheated perhaps from the day before. The second was a Sunday where we waited for over an hour for our appetizers of overly dressed BQ wings, soggy coconut shrimp, and an incompetent server. Entrees followed 30 min. later with bony chicken, hard, not-so-sweet-plaintains and tasteless rice. On our third visit, Labor day nite, we enjoyed the music, but again waited for an hour for our appetizers. There were three servers running around like chickens with their heads cut off, inefficient to say the least. They were working too hard for the 30 guests or so in the outside area. Appetizers arrived of ceviche(almost completely devoid of seafood), soggy wings. Sir may we have some forks at the very least?? Napkins...please? Jurk chicken for dinner was just as disappointing as the other visits, lukewarm, very bony. The Hut chops up the chicken, bone and all, which causes the multiple bone fragments. I was seriously afraid of chomping/swallowing the splintery bones. We paid, after we finally were able to chase down our server, and left without finishing our meals. The server tried really hard to take care of everyone, but just didnt have the forethought to bring what was needed from the kitchen and save himself a trip before food is served. I attribute this to lack of experience and planning. Why not have utensils/napkins/water pitchers outside where the guests are? I LOVE jurk chicken, and this is a far cry from what I have sampled in the Islands. We love the idea of the Hut; outside,live music,casual setting, bucket of beers shared with friends, but the food really is terrible, and the service needs some serious work.
Pros: Great for a casual outdoor evening with a bucket of beer
Cons: FOOD, Service, FOOD, Service!
