Short Orders (Painted Parrot)
Caribbean Cruise
The
Painted Parrot (8028 W. National Ave.) is a fun, colorful restaurant
that follows a Caribbean theme. Jamaican murals cover the walls and
reggae music blasts from behind the large bar. The menu wanders through
the Caribbean with a few Louisiana
touches like jambalaya and gumbo. Try the jerk chicken plate. Though
the sauce is tame by Jamaican standards, every table has a bottle of
far spicier Scotch bonnet pepper sauce that will ramp up the volume.
Entrees usually include steamed vegetables and fried bananas with a
hint of cinnamon. Add a tiny paper parasol to the plate and you’ll feel
like you’re thousands of miles from West Allis. Daily specials include
all-you-can-eat crab cakes and even free Bloody Marys for an hour on
Saturdays.
