What to order: Oxtail · Curry Goat · Jerk Pork · Cow Foot SoupFrom Google Maps reviews.
For the price it’s a steal, the flavors of both dishes were on point, the goat head soup was seasoned right and had a lot of meat, my only problem is the grade of meat and how big the pieces were. I appreciate the hearty soup, but some of the goat pieces were very large and they were cooked down but was dry. The jerk pork flavor was on point imo, but again, the pieces were so large. Nothing was chopped up and a lot of the skin had hair on it. Cheap pork pieces.
I’ve been dining at Vees for over 20 years, dating back to when they were down the road on Montgomery & Nostrand, right next to the Associated Supermarket. This place has been a staple for many of us long before the neighborhood changed. That said, tonight may very well have been my last dine-in experience—because this was an all-time low. Let’s be honest: Vees has never been beloved for hospitality or customer service. If anything, the staff’s attitude has been notoriously poor for years unle
First and last time trying food here. Curry goat had no flavor and I found a hair in my food!!! $14 for lunch that I couldn't enjoy. I called and all the could do is a say sorry. They didn't even offer me a refund I am so sick to my stomach!!!
