Lady G Restaurant Review

Wow, what a surprise when I walked into this restaurant at 269 Ocean Ave in Jersey City.  In it's quite location built from her food truck, Lady G's restaurant makes you feel very much at home.  It's not a big place, but it was packed with people enjoying some good home cook food while music played in the background. The atmosphere was lively, showing everyone was enjoying themselves.  They do have a very nice bar with a large selection of drinks, but I had wine.

The menu isn't overcrowded with selections, which made it easy to choose from.  I had fried chicken and cheese, and chicken and sausages empanadas.  When I opened it, the juice fell into the plate, which made it even better.  Plus, it was packed with meat and flavor.  In addition, there is buffalo chicken, lump crab and shrimp, jerk chicken, and oxtails, to name a few.  RJ, my review partner, said:  Wow, both were excellent.  Jerk Chicken with black bean, you could taste every element in these empanadas, it's like a whole dinner. Very moist, not dried out perfectly balanced seasoning loved it.  Steak & cheese was again delicious, perfectly seasoned. The crust of the empanadas is so light and crispy, not that usual soft and thick casing.

I'm giving Lady G Empanada Restaurant 10 out of 10.  If you want some good empanadas, then stop by and be prepared.  Oh, wait until you see the Crabs.  Oh, I forgot to mention there's an outdoor patio in the back.  We are both Alumni from Hudson County Community College of Culinary Arts.
