Poor Imitation!

Really hate it when the item being imitated tastes SO awful you can barely finish it? Apparently these patties fall into that category: family has thrown away partially eaten ones, and just refused to eat the others (still boxed in freezer.) So bad that I've been told to restart subscription to BJ's, where the better Jamaican Patties are sold....

Edible and...adequate

Unfortunately for these patties, they're replacing a longtime staple in the Caribbean Food Delight brand patties. For those of us who have become accustomed to that brand and crave those particular patties, these do not taste similar at all. I wouldn't say these are bad, but they are very different. They heat up well enough and the crust has a decently flakey texture.

So they changed vendors and broke my kids heart

So just became comfortable buying Caribbean Food Delights and then just like that it went away. I gave this new brand a chance and it is not nearly the same. The filling is tolerable however the pastry dough for the turnover/empanada/patty was tough to chew it was prepared microwave and oven on another one. Same less than desirable outcome. The Caribbean Food Delights Spicy Beef Patties were also individually wrapped but used a microwavable packaging that created a more desirable less tough and easily to bite into beef patty. This has not been a happy transition to this product change.

Absolutely the Worst

I am so disappointed in the purchase. These beef patties barely have any meat on them and the crust is disgusting. You can’t even break the patties apart smh. I’m not sure what happened to the previous patty supply but please bring it back because these may be “fiscally responsible” for Sam’s Club but they are absolutely horrible for your loyal customers. They look and taste cheap.

BIG Thumbs Down

PLEASE bring back the Caribbean Food Delights SPICY BEEF PATTIES! The Island Joes Beef Patties are terrible. The meat is skimpy and not properly minced. And the crust....OMG, the crust is hard and NOT flaky at all. Such a disappointment. Anyone who has ever eaten a real beef pattie in/from Jamaica knows that the crust should be flaky and the meat should be generous and nicely minced.

Horrible

This is a bad decision to switch brands I would rather pay more for the higher quality golden crust or even the previous brand that was stocked. The ingredients are far inferior, they are smaller, and the taste is Bland! Just bread and heat from peppers. I won't be buying them again.

VERY NASTY!!!!

I have no idea why Sam's decided to change from the brand Carribean Delight. I have been a customer for many years and I have ALWAYS made it a point to stock up on these tasty beef patties. Now Sam's is offering this disgusting mess as a replacement and it does not even come close to measuring up. I pray that this is not a permanent change because that would be VERY disappointing. Please bring back the Carribean Delight beef patties. Do not fix something that isn't broken.
