I was checking out the menu on realnegril.com and seeing prices in US$ and JA$ does not make sense. A cup of coffee was 1$ US or 80 JA$.Is this backwords? or are they really giving a bad exchange if you pay in US$

That is a very old menu...
Thanks Rob Makes sense Any idea if there is a current Menu available as we are bringing guests to negril for a night
I wouldn't worry too much about exchange rates et al at Chicken Lavish. We went there last Feb. with 5 people and drinks (lots of drinks). When I got the bill for the 5 of us, I went to the back to verify that she hadn't MISSED somethings because the bill for dinner for 5 (with drinks) was ridiculously low! Under USDS60.00. Talk to them when you get there. Their prices are fair and reasonable. Not sure where you come from .... but I can hardly do dinner for 2 with no drinks here at home for what dinner for 5 WITH drinks cost at Chicken Lavish. Great place. Enjoy your meal!
We went here twice, the food was so good. I had the chicken curry, yum. We paid in Jamaican, but it was very reasonable.
Chicken Lavish is the best. Always the first and last dinner of the trip. Nothing like a big, hot bowl of conch soup to help you get through the ills of a long day of travel on arrival day (when we've been drinking wayyyyyy too much!!). Curry Goat is very good, as is the fried chicken. Melo orders the Sweet and Sour Chicken, loves it. They raise their own chickens in Sav. It's a Negril institution!!!! Always surprised at how low the prices are.
My post here was deleted, and it was just factual information. I guess if an establishment isn't presented in the best light, that's what happens here (I did say I loved the fried chicken, some of the best I've ever had.)
If you're going to delete comments, you could at least explain why instead of just making things disappear as if they were never there.
HarryS,
Our moderators have informed me of your complaints. The guidelines for posting explain what is allowed and not allowed, we are not obligated to explain why your particular post was removed. Going against our own guidelines, I have restored your complaining post as an example for others.
You claim your removed post was "just factual information". The first paragraph is a fact that "I'm a big fan of the food at chicken lavish. Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had." It is a fact that this is your opinion.
The next line is not a fact. It borders on libel and is wrong. "But math is not their strong point, as evidenced by the conversion rate here"... The website the OP mentioned has a copyright date of 2009. The exchange rate back in 2009 was 85 to 1, making their pricing perfectly fair and proper. Math is one of their strong points. You cannot operate any business for decades without having a good understanding of math.
The remainder of your post I cannot quote as it is pure libel. This is not your personal FB page where you can disparage members of your family and then make an extremely subjective comparison to someone you have spent a very limited number of hours talking to. There is no way you can call this a fact. It was purely subjective speculation at best.
Many businesses have been mentioned here not "in the best light", but posting libelous speculation and claiming it is a fact will never be allowed on Negril.com.
There are many places on the Internet that thrive on this kind of libel and speculation to build up their visitor count regardless of who they hurt in the process. Negril.com will always be based on useful, beneficial and factual information to assist our visitors to have the best vacation possible.
We just ate there on Friday Excellent food service and Value. Exchange rates were in line (We only use JA$)

If I'm talking about an actual interaction that I've had with him on 3 occasions, it is not in any way libel. What you just did, essentially calling me a liar, is libelous? (or is it slander?)
The menu when we last ate at chicken lavish (in 2014) was definitely odd when it came to the exchange rates, and a quick google search shows menus that will quickly show this fact. Anyone who can do math can see that whoever makes the menus at Chicken Lavish isn't using a precise specific exchange rate. I mean, a banana daquiri is 350 JA or $4 US. A banana shake is 300 JA or the same $4 US. They use different exchange rates based on the item being served? Regardless of the year the menu was printed, that's been the case here for years (and its not just daquiris or bananas, the exchange rate is all over the map. Get your calculators out. It's easy to see it's a fact.)
Harrys,
What you posted at 3:30am today is not libelous in the least toward Chicken Lavish or the owner. Considering that there are 6 daily drawings and that 2/3rd of all Jamaicans play the lottery, listening to a Jamaican talk about it is not a stretch of the imagination.
From the Observer, "Without a doubt, winning the Jamaican lottery jackpot is the dream of the vast majority of Jamaicans, myself included. Many people play the game religiously, every draw, in the hope of happening upon the right number combination. I cannot begin to count the amount of times I have heard it discussed what exactly people would do should those funds find itself in their possession. One particular friend always insists that he will never change, and will always be the same person that we have always known."

But what you posted this morning is not what you originally posted. What you originally posted was pure libelous speculation based on a member of your family, who does not post here. Your libel possibly extends to them. Conveniently you left that out, further extending your libel towards me.
No where in your original post did you mention other menus. Your only comment was " as evidenced by the conversion rate here". I can only take your post with the words you used. If you meant other menus, you should have mentioned other menus.
And did you take the time to ask the owner on any of your numerous three visits and sit down talks about the menu pricing? The answer may both surprise and amuse you.
The Curried Conch is the best around!
For me, it’s the coleslaw. I get a big bowl as a side when I go for the first time each trip. Really, I could make a lunch of just that. Something about their coleslaw literally ruins my love of the dish anywhere else.
I don’t know the name of the young gentleman who almost always serves us (doc has been there a few times, he’s a talkative guy), but he always has a smile, and makes sure your order is on point.
Chicken lavish is probably my favorite spot, and a must do each and every trip.
Harrys,
Your post was removed because you have again posted libel. This will be the last acknowledgement of your libelous comments. In the future, if you have a post removed, please read the guidelines.
Rob
Can you explain why the exchange rate fluctuates here based on the item ordered? I'm curious why it would be amusing.
Ask the owner on your next visit. The fourth time is the charm!
Solution: Bring both currencies & pay with which ever benefits you more. Then give them a bigger tip to reflect the difference. Or in other WORDS who cares. The prices are so reasonable there is really nothing to complain about anyway!
