MORGAN’S ISLAND GRILL 110 Mercer Street, Hightstown 609-308-2108 morgansislandgrill.com Hours: Tues–Thurs, 11 AM– 9 PM; Friday and Saturday, 11 AM– 10 PM. Sunday, noon– 6 PM Price: $

Style: Jamaican food with a deli vibe.

The aroma of jerk spices fills the air in this quaint and cozy storefront; order at the counter for take-out or sit at one of the dozen tables and be served by chef/owner Kenroy Morgan. Either way, his food is its own best advertisement.

Don’t Miss: Growing up in Jamaica, Morgan was taught to cook by his father. He has honed his skills stateside. Virtually every dish has island influence. Jerk chicken comes with rice, cabbage and plantains ($8.50 for a good-size lunch portion; $12.50 for a large dinner portion). The sauce on the barbecue turkey wings is slightly sweeter than jerk sauce, but just as appealing ($9 lunch; $12.50 dinner) You can’t go wrong with an order of ribs ($11 lunch; $17 dinner). If you want to eat the staple dishes Jamaicans adore, try curried goat ($11 lunch; $17 dinner) or oxtail stew ($11 lunch; $17 dinner). Salads include a heaping plate of greens topped with jerk chicken ($9.50). A side of mac & cheese ($5) or Baccala fritters ($2) go well with any meal.

Heads Up: Morgan’s accepts every credit card except American Express.

The Scoop: Lunch prices hold sway from 11: 30 AM to 3: 30 PM. Lunch business is brisk. No worries—tables turn quickly. Street parking is plentiful.
