Made
it
known
I
was
looking
for
meat
patties
while
in
town
and
2
or
3
locals
happily
recommended
this
spot.
We
walked
up
from
the
cruise
pier,
it
was
a
5-10
min.
leisurely
stroll
with
a
slight
hill.
The
staff
were
friendly
and
helpful
and
the
food
was
awesome
(and
lava
hot).
We
got
2
patties
&
2
waters
for
+/-
$4.20
USD.
They
took
my
US
credit/debit
card
but
it
took
extra
time
to
process,
so
be
patient.
They
would
have
taken
US
cash
but
didn't
have
change
in
USD,
so
I
would
have
had
to
pay
exact
or
forego
the
change.
1
patty
each
was
enough
for
a
big
snack
or
small
meal,
though
I
could
have
eaten
another!
I
had
the
cheese
patty,
hubby
had
beef,
and
my
brother
and
his
fiancé
also
loved
theirs
(whatever
they
had).
We
grew
up
in
a
neighborhood
with
a
lot
of
Caribbean
immigrants,
so
this
was
a
nostalgic
stop
for
me,
the
smell
alone
brings
me
to
my
childhood.
Big
up
to
this
quick,
easy,
fast
food
haven.
Thanks
for
getting
it
right!
Note
to
the
tourists:
venturing
away
from
the
pier
got
us
unintended
attention,
as
most
experienced
travelers
know
will
happen.
As
a
group
of
mostly
whites
(read:
obviously
not
natives),
we
"acquired"
a
local
on
our
walk
who
was
trying
to
stear
us
wrong.
I
don't
know
what
his
intentions
were,
but
he
clearly
wanted
something
from
us
and
kept
trying
to
get
us
to
make
a
wrong
turn
back
towards
the
waterfront,
and
wouldn't
leave
once
he
included
himself
in
our
conversation.
I
started
to
act
more
agressive
as
my
patience
waned,
as
he
was
undaunted
by
our
polite
refusals.
I
started
wondering
if
this
was
going
to
turn
into
a
mugging
if
we
turned
the
wrong
corner
(I'm
a
New
Yorker),
but
didn't
really
feel
endangered
while
on
the
main
roads
(he
was
properly
outnumbered
by
our
group).
He
eventually
wandered
off
when
we
crossed
the
main
thoroughfare
into
the
parking
lot
of
the
strip
mall
that
Juici
Patties
is
in,
though
he
was
still
trying
to
tell
us
that
the
restaurant
was
in
the
other
direction.
I
expect
these
things
to
happen
and
am
well
versed
at
interactions
like
this.
I
would
go
through
it
all
again
to
walk
up
to
Juici
Patties,
it
was
totally
worth
it.
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there
in
case
visitors/tourists
aren't
so
sure
of
themselves
in
new
environments.
Just
know
what
you
look
like,
know
that
the
people
around
you
only
ever
see
tourists
spending
money
while
they
themselves
are
often
in
need,
and
have
some
patience
and
try
to
keep
things
respectful
while
also
being
firm.
It's
not
personal,
it's
just
a
type
of
racism
that
whites
abroad
experience.
And
remember,
not
everyone
is
racist,
but
the
few
that
are
do
tend
to
leave
a
bad
taste
that
affects
the
rest
of
the
experience.
This
literally
happens
to
me
every
time
I
leave
the
tourist
trap
areas
to
venture
into
a
more
cultural
experience.
Don't
let
it
ruin
your
day,
just
make
it
better
with
the
happiness
you'll
feel
once
you
get
your
Juici
Patties!
