Very few local "food reviewers" are afraid to do what you are doing which is saying as it is. Stay true to this format and would gain lots of views trust. This should encourage some of those establishments to bring up their standards as well as exposure to the good ones out there. Keep doing what you doing bro channel will grow exponentially.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Much appreciated, yeah I don't intend to sugarcoat anything, hopefully those with not too favourable reviews step up their game

[@laaven]

@@TrinbagoVibes I second this as well. Really nice to see.

Thank you and yup that’s always the plan 😊

[@jasonramsingh9947]

Informative once again, Rajeev. Appreciate the honest review. Maybe these food establishments should treat you better and give you their best if they knew about the honest advertising. Keep on doing what you're doing!😄

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Thanks bro, but I think in order for me to keep being honest, I’ve to be a regular random customer…I mean even if I’m invited I let them know upfront that I’ll be giving my honest opinion (although in those cases it’s a bit difficult for me) lol

[@dgrantos]

Brother's BBQ keeps me coming back over and over. Their BBQ taste really good especially the BBQ lamb.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Serious, I find lamb does be a hit and miss with most BBQ spots, that why I usual play it safe with the chicken option…but next time I’m that side will try their lamb

[@dgrantos]

@@TrinbagoVibes Yeah the lamb there on point. I had it a few times along with the chicken and I enjoyed the lamb more, both my wife and I.

[@riannakhan3769]

Great reviews as usual! Would have suggested Khalids Cocoyea, but their standard drop a few years now. Kings Bbq, Duncan Village San Fernando okay, but prices are ridiculously high! Original Bbq Hut, before Jennys in Victoria Village San Fernando(Cipero Road),is good. Eat It, Scott St San Fernando has great Deals and is okay. But the one you need to try is, Grill on D Hill, Marabella. Very tasty!

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Lol, all valid spots..well the two times I had Kings it wasn’t all that for me, and one time I got semi-cooked chicken from them as well…but the rest are ones that I frequently go by…especially Grill on the Hill (know the owners since they had a video club on that spot, lol)…in this one, I was trying BBQ spots I never had before, but will be doing a video on those places sometime in the future for sure

Haven’t had Khalid’s in awhile…but I guess that happens after a while unfortunately…definitely wanna do Redds in fried chicken battle, never had them before although I pass there frequently
