    two bowls of food
    Jason U.

    I got recommended from the staff to try their 2 styles of wings and they were saucy and extremely tasty. On the outside was crisp and nicely seasoned. In addition, I got the dirty rice which came with some slaw and it was good as well. However, once I started reaching towards the middle to bottom, I ate some sort of pepper that they added which I still couldn't find where it was from and that instantly killed the dish. It was extremely spicy and did not taste good. I just couldn't eat anymore. I wish I knew about it or they had told me. The area might look a bit sketchy but the staff is friendly and helpful when coming to ordering.

    Awesome sauce is as their name says AWESOME. Some of the best Jamaican food I have ever had. Their portions are huge and the food is so fresh and delicious. We got the large jerk chicken dinner meal which came with their jerk chicken pasta and my favorite Mac and cheese. Their Mac and cheese is slightly sweet and so addictive. Whatever you get, make sure to get their Mac -- it is amazing. Four large pieces of jerk chicken and not too spicy. We also had some curry chicken and rice and the rice and curry were cooked perfectly. Portion was great for two people with some left over. Love this place!

    In Bridgeport, Connecticut, Is a Caribbean restaurant called @awesomesaucecaribbeanflavors . Though there really isn't a sitting place to enjoy your food, the food on the other hand is to die for. Juicy seasoned chicken, ripping off the bone oxtails,& veggies and rice that are seasoned and cooked all the way thru! The service here is great and very friendly! The prices here are great in that $10-20 gets you a plate full of food ! -- Quality/taste - 5/5 Atomsphere - 2/5 Price - 5/5 Quantity - 4/5 Cleanliness - 3/5 --

    I tried the chicken over pasta with awesome sauce yesterday & it was YUMMY!! I'll definitely be ordering again soon.

    Pretty good food , Oxtail was sorta of tough. I enjoyed the stew chicken as well. This is my 2nd time there.

    Outstanding food the coleslaw is special you can visit any day for good food but you must make it there on a Friday for a Fantastic Seafood Display... I promise you will feel like you are on a tropical island for a beautiful feast....

    Rootsman Kitchen - Jerk chicken rice & beans with cabbage

    The Best Jamaican Food on Earth…read more I've been coming here forever and the food is unlike anywhere else I have ever been. I have been to Jamaica and nothing is close. I have brought friends here who live/ lived in Jamaica and they are blown away. I also lived in the Jamacian area in Harlem and never found a Jamaican Restaurant even close to this place. The staff are friendly and get the food out quickly. There is almost a couple people there and they have no problem handling the traffic. Place definitely has a vibe. Bonus it is down by Seaside Park so when it's warm enough I love grabbing my food to go and eating it in the park. Food: -Jerk Chicken This is by far my go to. If you can't handle a LOT of heat then this is not for you. 1st time my wife had it she couldn't hang but I made her try it again and again and eventually she built a tolerance and absolutely loves it. -Curry Goat My 2nd Favorite. Not too much heat and very tasty. Careful of the bones but the flavor is incredible. If you can't handle the heat of the Jerk this is a great option. -Stewed Chicken Good option. I don't get it too often as I prefer the Jerk but if I'm not in the mood for the heat or just want to switch it up this is another amazingly flavorful option. -Jamaican Patty's All of them are great Spicy or Mild Beef, Chicken, Veggie I usually get a patty with my order and rotate my choice with my mood or what looks best that day. Final Thoughts If you haven't been to Rootsman you don't know what Real Jamaican Food is. Get here ASAP!! Caution: Food is Amazing & Addictive

    Before I get into the review proper, I've noticed that many older reviews had mentioned this place…read morewas Cash Only. Based on my visit tonight, they now accept card since I was able to my debit on this one. This place is primarily take-out, but there's tables inside where you can eat in if you wish. I opted to just get my food and be on my way. But before that, I do want to mention that the guy behind the counter pointed out on my visit that not everything that the menu reads was actually in stock (my visit came at about 7:30 pm on a Tuesday night). He did at least have the courtesy of telling me what was available, to which I had opted for the jerk chicken. I didn't know this upon my ordering, but apparently this jerk chicken gets rave reviews here on Yelp. I don't order this kind of thing often, and the last time I went to a place to order jerk chicken the food and atmosphere did not turn out good, so I was hopeful I would at least have a better experience here. The place itself is unassuming in a way something similar to how a hole in the wall would be unassuming. One thing I will say in this place's favor is that the price is very fair for what you get. I only had to pay $16.32 for the meal which honestly isn't bad at all. And hey, at least the employee had decent manners. Upon arriving back at the Bridgeport Station to start eating, that was when I had realized something had gone wrong. When I got to the bag I was given the food in, the take-out container completely destroyed the bag, telling me that this was not packaged well at all. Imagine if I had tried to drive this back home and then found that! They could probably do with making some sort of effort reinforcing the packaging before packing into a paper bag. To make matters worse, when I had opened the container to start eating, the food exploded all over my shorts! Not fun! But I was able to eat enough to form an opinion. As for the meal itself, the jerk chicken comes with cabbage and rice. I would have liked to have the rice separate from the chicken, but that was apparently not an option. I was kind of bummed out about that since the last time I had jerk spice on rice it ruined the rice. I will say quality-wise the food was better than People's Choice over in Norwalk. The chicken was juicy and the rice was at least cooked properly. The taste of the rice I will say did not taste much difference from the chicken, so it's definitely doesn't stand out too much. The cabbage was a wet cabbage, not to the point of mush, but maybe the next level before that. Good thing the chicken was actually good jerk chicken, even though it's not de-boned. Would I walk 20 minutes to come eat here again? If I had to. So far I'd pick this over several others if I am in the mood for Caribbean food. Just some better packaging would be nice.
