I see all of the previous rave reviews, so maybe it was just an off day. I stopped in Ramouns…read moreKitchen for the first time today and was very underwhelmed. I am giving them two stars strictly for the excellent customer service and convenient location. However, the food did not please my taste buds. The jerk chicken seemed like it could have been great, but the sauce was somewhere between sweet and trying to be spicy? The 3 plantains I received were extremely dry, which made me think they had been sitting for a while. As for the rice and peas, simply put they were not good. I was excited to have a Caribbean spot around the corner, but I doubt I will be back. Much better options a little further out.

Interesting. Food…read morewas good, don't get me wrong....but it's far from homemade Jamaican cuisine. You'll get it very quickly but it won't be the most flavorful or the most tender. The oxtail was good and fairly flavorful but lacked the tenderness that I long for in oxtail. The rice and peas were decent, albeit a tad dry. Coco bread, however, was WOWING. Talk about yummy. Overall, it's great for what it is: quick and easy Caribbean cuisine. Stop by!

I waited approximately five minutes without being acknowledged or assisted, so I decided to leave. Space at Columbia Mall can't be cheap, so I would expect staff to be attentive to customers and focused on providing service. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect that. I guess they really do live up to their name.

I used been waiting for the restaurant to open for some time now and excited to try their dishes…read more The food truck now has a store front/brick and mortar. I took advantage of their Friday special, snapper escoveitch (sp?) style although they also offer it as brown stewed. I had to try their coco bread since it's homemade also. I'm sure I'll be back to try their oxtails because how can I not? I almost scream when I seen my cocoa bread! I could not believe I have fresh cocoa bread again like the last time I was in Jamaica! It was warm soft and pillowy. I had to make myself stop eating it so I could try the snapper. The seasoning on the escovitch was perfect! Perfect balance of spicy and acid made each bite exciting. I will never be a fan of whole fish because I do not like picking out my bones so there's a fillet on the menu for eskovich I'm definitely going with that next time.

Today was my first time stopping by to grab some authentic Jamaican food, however, I must say I was…read morea bit disappointed! I ordered Ox Tail (not spicy at all), Mac & Cheese (a bit salty), Collard Greens (lacking salt/seasoning) & plantains (very tasty). The service was great. I was welcomed and promptly helped! The restaurant is beautifully decorated & definitely felt the welcoming Jamaican atmosphere and hospitality, an homage to Bob Marley .. since we live in the neighborhood I will def come back to try another dish ..

You order at the end, and find a seat. Your name is called and you pick up at the side counter. The dining area has plenty of seating, a private room looks available to reserve? Dining area & restrooms are bright, clean and inviting. My brother ordered fried fish with a chicken wing,, cabbage and sweet potatoes. He loved the fish & chicken- well seasoned without feeling your blood pressure rise as you indulged- LOL. The sides were good. I did the smothered porkchops - WOW, best that I have had - really enjoyed the main entrée and my sides (greens, black-eye peas). Both meals came with cornbread (another option was a biscuit). I have to say the food, the Staff and the establishment has been my best taste of southern cooking in the DMV area. I ordered chicken wings (6) to go for wife & I to enjoy later. Definitely worth a visit, we will be back - The smothered chops are calling me already. Lunch for two with a take home order of wings & 2 deserts plus tip was around $100.

Been to the old location…read more Been to the new location. I don't get the hype. The food is basic at best. The fish (catfish and croaker) always tastes like it's been fried in grease that needs changing. There's no flavor profile in the food which is weird for a soul-food restaurant. The mixed veggies were absolutely disgusting-- gave them back. I paid $65 for fried catfish with two sides, fried croaker with two sides, a cookie and two drinks---and sadly, the only thing that was sort of worth it was the cornbread, but it tastes like it has coconut in it. I hate coconut. The item that was the most flavorful for me was the black eyed peas/hoppin John (minus the big pieces of fatty meat in them).

The filling tasted burnt and lacked flavor, with the meat-to-veggie ratio being way off. To make matters worse, it took over an hour for her to receive the order. I'd recommend charging a bit more if it means improving the taste, quality, and portion of meat in the pies.
