Built from Gabriel's kitchen experiments.
881 Grab & Go mixes Jamaican comfort food with the bold, fast-paced sandwich style Gabriel discovered in Philadelphia. By experimenting with sauces, breads, fillings, and loaded sandwich builds, he created a fresh take on island food made for Hartford.
From oxtail plates and jerk chicken to grab-and-go sandwiches packed with Jamaican flavor and street-style energy, the menu is built to feel familiar, new, and easy to crave.

The Cheyney Fish Sandwich has become one of 881's signature moments. Gabriel films customers trying it for the first time, and the reactions say a lot: crispy fish, purple slaw, coco bread, and that first bite pause.
