"My friend and I shared a large bowl of cow heel soup along with an order of fried chicken and fried rice. We requested that the soup be divided into two bowls, which is why our photo only shows half of it. Overall, the food was decent. I was a bit hesitant to try the cow heel since I had never had it before, but I was pleasantly surprised! It reminded me of the beef tendon often served in dim sum. The soup was rich in collagen and included ground peas, taro, and some corn, making it very filling. However, we did have a significant issue with the billing process that left a sour taste in our mouths. When my friend went to the register to ask about the total, the cashier printed out a bill showing the total amount but left the tip section blank. The receipt was not itemized, so we couldn't see the individual prices of the items we ordered. My friend felt something was off and insisted on seeing an itemized bill. To our surprise, it turned out that a 15% tip had already been included in the total. Yet, when they printed the copy for us to sign, the tip line remained blank. If you weren't paying attention, you might have ended up tipping an additional 15%. The cashier admitted that the total already included the tip, which was clearly a deliberate tactic to confuse customers into paying more. It's disappointing to discover that they operate this way, lacking honesty and integrity in their business practices."

"Love Caribbean food, and it's been a long time since I last had some so I've been craving it. Pauline's definitely delivered (both literally and figuratively). The food is homey, flavorful, and all around delicious. It's a great price as well. I ordered the chicken patty, the beef patty, and brown stew chicken (comes with 2 sides I got rice with peas and cabbage).All of the food was great! I had originally ordered for plantains and rice with peas to be my sides, but I suppose they didn't have the plantains. The cabbage was a good substitute. It's got a mild flavor, a hint of sweetness, and it goes well with the meat. The rice with peas (black beans, really not sure why they call them peas) was also super delicious. Flavorful and plentiful. Very good, although a bit dry. The sauce from the chicken really adds to the rice so you can soak it up.The chicken itself was also high quality and comforting. Very tender meat. There were bones (I prefer boneless) but not too messy of a meal. The sauce is excellent. Nice and savory. The chicken is also served with some potatoes, which were just okay.Both of the patties were quite good. Great price at just $3.50. These were very large patties as well, more than the standard. The chicken patty was quite moist on the inside, but very crispy on the outside. It was a bit on the spicy side. The beef patty was delicious as well. It was more crispy. Both of these are great additions to your Caribbean meal.All in all, Pauline's is a great spot for Caribbean food. The prices here are very reasonable and the portions are hefty. Most importantly, the food tastes like it's soul food, like it's home made. Very good stuff."
