I do. In fact in the 70s they used to have a Six Million Dollar Man figure on display in the store. Lucky for me, my brother and got ours when we visited relatives in New York. Memories...
At Bruce's Patties we would go there after the movie at Carib theatre and patties were served on plates with knife and fork one of the great experiences in Kingston back in the day🎉
@natty.roots.423Those were the days.Ninepence for one Patty hot as fire 🔥 and full of meat. They went out of business when they moved from CrossRds to Oxford Rd.
@dorothysmith3205 Actually "tastees" opened around the corner on Halfway Tree 🌳 Rd just above Kentucky Fried Chicken 🐔 which started the demise. I followed them to Waterloo and use to purchase dinners there too. When Kingston was King!
Kareem, Bruce's patties was in crossroads. I vividly recall going there as a family. My dad would pile us all in the car and it was a treat to go to Bruce's. I remember the location if you are interested.
A Bruce's patties location was also located on Trafalgar road now the Guardian Life car park...formerly 'The Deck' Patties were hottt and meaty... Great memories. 😊
This makes me want to cry of misery. King Burger, Indies, and Shakey’s were my absolute favorites on this list. Never tried OFC and I passed by Jamaican McDonald’s but never tried it.
Trafalgar Place also had car service and was about two doors down from Burgerman. I believe Pulse is now on that property. King Burger had great tasting food but, suffered from inattentive management. Hong Kong Delicatessen in Premier Plaza and the delicious Sow Bow and the stern Chiney lady that worked at the cash register. Soda fountains at Shoppers Fair (Washington Boulevard), York Pharmacy (HWT) and others with the popular Jumbo Malt.
I remember Tops Kentucky Fry Chicken. It was in Crossroads. It was a little white building. It had a wooden barrel in the front that revolves. Those were the good old days. I remember Pomeroy Chinese restaurant. It was right by the intersection at Hagley Park road and Waltham Park Avenue. Their food was so good. Their fried chicken 🍗 was the best. Johnson's Drive inn curry goat 🐐 was good in the 60s. My older brother used to buy me and my younger sister curry goat and white rice on Fridays. 😊
Crust and patties for lunch with a small soup at Sibbles restaurant, East Queen St, Chinese food at Capitol or Cathay, Princess Street, Suiemien at Mr. Chins, East Queen St and ALL the little self-operated cook shops in Kingston, man, those were the best food days for me, and I could go on.
Just looking at this I'm a 70ties person but Johnson drive those places was Clean and nice how Jamaica reach this stage where things not looking so nice and clean anymore Kareem keep our history showing I really enjoyed this vlog
Bruce's patties! The corner of Retirement Rd and Halfway tree Rd. Beside States Theater. The best in the west. I went to Avondale Prep. down the road and a Bruce's patty was my treat on the weekend 😇👌👍
I remember staying at the Trident hotel back in the days wonderful experience.The Levy’s were very friendly we got invited to the castle or cocktails one. I am from Montego Bay grew up on Stanley’s patties and coco bread the best in the world and Hilton’ bakery for bread and sugar bun wow.
@@dimplessamuels960 and they had the hard dough bread & cane juice to enhance the patties. The patties were a bit smaller than Tastee just up the road but was full of meat
Hi: About the year 1977 there was a restaurant name 'Big Daddy' on French Street in Spanish Town very close to the book store that has been there since the 60s. They use to serve peppered steak that was very tasty. It was an upstairs building and they had psychedelic light for dancing. Also you mention Johnsons Restaurant in the video, they were located at the intersection of Maxfield Ave and Chisholm avenue. They used to serve curry goat that was very delicious and I had dinner there in the mid 80s. Please be informed that when I went to high school in the mid 60s I ate patties and cocoa bread for lunch.
@stevenfrancis9153 Big.Daddy was owned by Ruddy who also had a night club of the same name. All of that was preceeded by his sound.system good old days.
I remember Burgerman on Trafalgar Road. Thats the first place I had milk shake. There was also Road Runner on Tobago Avenue, close to John R Wong in New Kingston. Angel Flake Patties in Papine I vaguely remember
@RosieC061 Yes yuh know a thing or two. Burgerman started in an old two storey house before the new building was built then Kingsley(Pulse) took over the place with his modeling business.
Thank you so very much for inlighting and giving us some amazing insights and education down memory lane... continuing blessing and success throughout 💙🙏🏾
Me and Mr. Sinclair, we know when soda fountains were the place a chap takes his lady on a first date and back then they actually had real ‘soda jerks’!! 😂. I don’t have much experience with the country restaurants but the town ones I know well. Bruces, CBs, Tops, Johnsons Drive Inn, these are mostly fast food/fry chicken joints. Hoping pt. 2 will cover some of the sit down/dine-in restaurants. I’d love to hear some mention of Pauls (Harbour Street); probably one of the best restaurants in the 60s - early/mid 70s. The owners of the plaza where Mr. Sinclair started his chicken outlet were close friends. This brought back some great memories. Thank you!
@Nightnurse22 One of my dad's favorite. They were expensive for the time. Good one. Maurice's drive thru on Constant Spring Rd remember that one.(next to Merle Grove High)
Remember when KFC opened at Old Hope Road? Many of us as high school students used to take the X77 from Downtown, passing our homes just for the chicken. We saved our lunch money to buy it. Only original back then and it was delicious. What is being served now cannot be compared to it.
@shine...enjoyed mongoose bread - we walked with the Anchor butter, Mr. Samfoo would cut it down the middle, we slapped the butter between the breaf and went off to the Bevo theatre in Christiana to watch a movie.
Montys Drive Inn Restaurant on Old Hope Road (near Oxford Road) used to have car service, the food was brought out on Trays that attached to the car window. I remember one of the Drive in Restaurants had staff wore roller skates. Boulivard & Harbor View Drive in Theaters used to have the Window Trays as well. Cloud 9 was the first pizza. Indies Pub started making pizzas later on (possibly early 70's)
@@wardsadler1585 thanks for this . I remember montys with the car widow trays. I think k i also recall the rollerskates. For a long time ive had these memories and wondered if they were real or i was going mad. I was born in 82 so when i went it was probably the last of it.
On our 1st trip to Jamaica in about 1982 we went to the Shakey's Pizza in Ochi I believe ( could have been MoBay ) which was so fun as it was a childhood favorite from the location in my hometown in the States , Huntsville , Alabama ! I absconded with a Red Stripe Dimple Beer Mug that I long treasured but alas as since been lost . Ever since I have treasured Red Stripe on Draft ( tap ) over bottle , but it rare to find it seem . Restaurants are the ties that bind communities together , where we gather to socialize , where we work , and when they are gone many are so fondly remembered from times go by of simpler times we wish we had back . The Restaurant industry though fraught with hurdles has long been a great opportunity for many . We have owned & operated many restaurants and always dreamed of having one in JA but 'mon it a tough tough business anywhere ! and Yes unfortunately it can also be a dangerous business ! FYI - "Henny Penny" is a USA brand of commercial pressure fryers used widely in the food service industry.
I used to live at 62 Lyndhurst Road, directly across from Champion House. The Curried goat was special, cost 5 shillings and sixpence washed down with a nine pence soda. (Lol)
I went to high school in Spanish Town in the 90s. There was a King Burger in the Spanish Town (Sagicor) Shopping Centre where the current Burger King is in the food court, 😊.
Now, this is a real business man! I had no idea that Pizzas, burgers, deep fried chicken were in Jamaica way back then. I thought that they were relatively recent, maybe from the '90s. Also, Car Hops were a thing in 1950s America, and sometime the female servers were on roller skates..
There wasn't much that wasn't available in Kingston back in the 60s and 70s. Does anyone recall going into Woolworths back in the 60s, on King Street downtown?
Why oh why did our Jamaican owners allow these local obviously good restaurants to fail?!! Now the island is virtually overun by foreign- owned bloated, nutrtionally deficicient, fat over-loaded, health threatening franchises. SMH.Thanks so much for sharing this interesting reminder.
Many factors come to play. You have to look at how different generations view the world. Running a restaurant is HARD work. You get up very early in the morning to prep and start cooking and leave very late at night. When the kids grow up, the restaurants don't have the capital to expand or to pay the kids as employees. Also, the kids would be able to earn more working in an office etc. Many times, kids seeing their parents doing that choose to go work for someone else. Those generations also encouraged people to get jobs in offices, doctors, etc. We were never taught that business ownership was a great thing. We were not taught that having technical skills was a way to success. We were not taught that engineering qualifications were great. We were, and still believe that getting to foreign is the way to success. Then we come to foreign and work harder than 100 horses. Bankers with homes and great paying jobs in Jamaica coming to the US to work as CNAs and clean people and subject themselves to abuse, which they would NEVER tolerate in Jamaica. SO when those generations got older many of those places closed unfortunately.
Allan's Patty (the flakiest patty ever!), on Old Hope Rd in the plaza where Welcome supermarket was located. It's now called Shoppers Fair. Mee Mee Chinese restaurant in Northside Plaza
@mariasproducts2186.Isnt there other places where you have massive bank robberies all the time. Why single out Jamaica. Is it the worst place in the world 🌎 for those sort of thing. Why are you so biassed.
Yes, man, king burger milk shake constant spring road overlooking Dunrobin Ave... Was my place every friday and the milkshakes were the best I think it was owned by Mr John Cook..
Golden Dragon 🐲 in Halfway Tree. Frosties and Sugar Buns was the craze there. We used to go there to get our Frosties at night after leaving the Odean Theater.
I read an article in the Gleaner in the 80s interviewing JA boxing promoter Lucien Chen, that he had the opportunity to buy or buy into the KFC brand in the 60s but did not. It was the worldwide brand KFC, not just the local franchise. Tropical Friend Chicken - the #13 bus terminus was to the west side - on the same road where the red Mazda van parked in the video. and opposite Sombrero, a bar or nightclub, I believe - which was north of Tropical - across the street on Molynes. The early 80s - $5 for a two-piece chicken from Tropical. Chicken was good. Trident was primo. Jogged past there once. I heard MJ stayed there - not sure how true -
What about McMasters restaurant on Heywood St in the early sixties where the used to sell scald milk and fry egg sandwich in the mornings for breakfast. 6pence for a glass jug of hot milk and bread and butter
Downtown, Pink and Black store, with the man blaring the bargains on the mic inviting you to come shop; Woolworth was the store, man, $9.99, yes infortunately, bank holdups/robberies were frequent. Times Store restaurant, best steamed egg custard; Winston made the best milkshakes. Wonderful days. Introduction of White Witch Perfumes, made in Jamaica, cheap! Lordy, lordy
I spent new years 1995 at a king burger where popeyes is now with my mother and aunt. It was the first time I was aware of the year changing. I was a 89 baby.
I did not and still don't consume alcohol but dandy shandy I tried and loved it becsuse it did not contsin much alcohol. Wish they ciuld bring it back.
