In Short
At lunchtime, a mostly female working crowd congregates for lunch, but in the evening, young families dominate the scene. The menu builds on the signature rotisserie chicken with a choice of two sauces, black beans, sides and salads. Sweet and spicy flavors permeate everything; even the corn bread and turnip greens are sweet. Healthier options are also available, including skinless chicken, fat-free barbecue sauces and low-fat salad dressings.

I have loved this place for years. I always get the Lucayan Salad. It is awesome. It also come with two cornbread muffins that are incredibly good. I also recommend the Black Bean Dip for an appetizer. The one on Elliston is always packed at lunch, but there are several locations throughout the city that you can try. Great restaurant.

Calypso does a great job of turning out inexpensive, island-inspired fare, very quickly. Their homemade sauces, dressings and side items are miles better than anything available at chain fast-food options and infinitely healthier. Their chicken is the best when they're busiest -- on slower days, it can overcook while awaiting purchase. Given the rating system of world class for 5 stars, I can't place it there, but it is the place I go when looking for a reliable, tasty and healthy last-minute take out option.

VERY quick service (less than 5 minutes for nearly everything). Rotisserie chicken and the salads are must-haves. Less than 10 bucks per person and you walk out full and satisfied. It's not fancy, the parking is limited, and they cram in as many people as possible during lunchtime. But they keep people coming in.
