Excellent lunch options and pricing. Good portions, big flavors, and fast, friendly service. A fantastic deal and the best pricing I've found for oxtails anywhere.

Libby L.

OMG ... this food was soooooo delicious... Authentic Jamaican food seasoned to perfection... my favorite was the curried goat... however the oxtails were number 2 on my list... I wanted to order the curried goat to take home for later but time did not permit... the service was fast friendly and efficient. The ambiance was cozy and felt like Mom's kitchen... Relaxing island music was also playing which felt very inviting... I felt very welcomed in their establishment. I was there on vacation with my partner and he enjoyed the food also... we visited many restaurants while on vacation in Pompano Beach and this one was one of the best.

Jerk Chicken Pasta with texas toast & a fresh salad

Kia C.

I just wanted to give thanks to the previous reviewers if you didn't review I wouldn't have went to try. I drove 28 minutes to order, I walked in after a gentleman and it was 2 people ordering in front of me. They both sat to eat in and I ordered to go. I got the jerk chicken pasta lunch order which came up to 12-13 dollars ! Y'all when I tell you she was bring the food out beautiful looking fresh and well prepared I wanted to eat in. I used the bathroom it was clean and had everything you needed. When I went back I waited about 10-15 minutes and she brought me a hot box I didn't even need to check it. I drove home it was still hot when I opened it. It had a fresh salad a piece of texas toast and the best jerk chicken pasta well cooked it just fell apart along with fresh peppers & soft noodles I will be back & to eat in ! Thank you Big O's y'all definitely do it fresh every time

OMG !!!!! What a great find !!!! This is a really good Jamaican restaurant in Pompano, not far from the intersection of Atlantic and Federal. They have a few outdoor tables as well as a nice indoor air conditioned dining area. The guy behind the counter was as friendly and happy as he could be. A delight dealing with him. We got a few dishes for lunch and all of them were FABULOUS !!! The jerk chicken had some spice without being too spicy and the brown stew chicken was a really tender, very moist....it was a "fall off the bone" dish. The rice and peas were done perfectly and the cabbage was also delicious. The maduros were a bit firmer than other places but still really well done. Their lunch specials run until 3pm the days they are open. It's just a great little place for a nice ethnic meal. There's free street parking right in front of the restaurant or in a private lot facing Atlantic. Check it out...you will love it.....

Oh man! (Ya mon?) This was one of the best Jamaican meals we've ever experienced in Florida. And we've eaten a lot!The lady sitting next to us was really enjoying her oxtail. She was oohing and ahhing. She said that it was so good, she wanted to see (the size of) the chef's shoes!! It took me a short while to understand what she was saying -- when it dawned on me. You're in love? Yes, I'm in love! (Ladies think about it, you'll get it eventually..) They have a fuller regular menu, but we zeroed in on their lunch specials -- each only $7.99. You can add soup for an addition fee, but frankly you probably won't need to. Portions are of ample size.you get your choice of rice (white or with "peas") and a choice of salad or cabbage. He chose their curry chicken with cabbage. I chose their brown stew chicken with salad. We both had peas & rice (fyi, these are not green peas but beans/pigeon peas). The chicken in each dish was so tender. Fall off the bone.There was sauce on the chicken, but luckily it came with additional oh so flavorful sauce for dipping or to pour over the rice. Just delicious. His cabbage was tender. The salad was fine, but I should have added dressing (it's on a table by the counter). And I'd probably get the cabbage (veggies) next time. Also on the plate was a small perfectly cooked piece of sweet plantain. The television screen shows pictures of some of the dishes -- if you're not familiar with island food. The restaurant is small inside. And it is colorfully decorated. If you like reggae music, you will definitely enjoy the tunes. They do a lot of takeout -- but there are enough tables to dine in and a full bar. There is street parking nearby. Can't wait to come back to try one of their patties and their oxtail. Hopefully soon! Try it... you'll love it.

Beef stew lunch special, jerk chicken lunch special and 2 beef pattys

Ryan B.

Lunch special was great. Loved the flavor of the meat, cabbage, and rice. Not so kuch a fan of the meat va the bones in the neat you got. I'd pay a little more for deboned meat. Spicy beef patty was a mild spice but still great and the pocket it came in was light and airy which was good. And not to greasy like some other places. I'll have to come back for dinner and try something else so I can give them 5 stars or possibly keep it the same.

Diana S.

What a gem! great food , ambiance and service! Do yourself a favor and try this small local jamaican spot and won't be dissatisfied.

Sebastian Z.

The location is a free standing building. Well kept and clean. Private parking lot. The service to second to none. Family owned business. The FOOD ... crazy flavors and good size portion. Small will fill you up but get a large life's short! Affordable. 10/10 Highly Recommend you to visit them.

K H.

The customer service is always good, that's why this rating got a 2 instead of a 1. I ordered the oxtail lunch special. Rice and peas were delicious but the oxtail itself was definitely overcooked and tough. It tasted like it was just "beef". Definitely not falling off the bone. Last time I was here was definitely better.

First time to Big O's. Small, but cute inside. The table needed a lil cleaning as did the restroom. Music was loud and not particularly island style. The service was good in between the ongoing phone conversation. Ordered the Curry Goat. It was good, but could have had more flavor. The Jerk Beef Burger wasn't too exciting, however, the Yuca Fries were. Will give Big O's another try as it does have promise. read more

I am finishing up my plate of a small Jerk Chicken with rice and peas, house salad, and mild and hot jerk sauce and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal! I recently have been craving jerk chicken and the last two places I've had were not good at all, just all spice and no flavor. I instantly tasted the flavor of this on my first bite and realized, " I should've ordered the Large" I ate all the chicken and rice within 4 minutes. It was Delicious. The service was kind with a smile, I believe this place is family-owned, and I met the wife and daughter. I WILL BE BACK FOR MY LARGE JERK CHICKEN! read more

We were in search of some Caribbean food while visiting Pompano Beach. When we randomly noticed this Jamaican restaurant, we had to visit. We were in search of patties; however, they didn't have any so we stayed for lunch and had the jerk chicken, peas and rice, cabbage, etc. instead. Everything was delicious and well-seasoned.

Inside the restaurant was cute and a little funky. However, it seemed off that evening. I noticed that many of the tables hadn't been cleaned off. Chairs were not neatly tucked in. The dining room looked in disarray. Yet, there was no one else there. If I hadn't read the good reviews on here, I would've just left. We found a clean table, and we had to ask the server for menus. The salads we ordered were good, but they needed more dressing. The ingredients were fresh, and I genuinely did enjoy the food.

The owner personally made our food, while the head barista took our order and crafted our coffee drinks. We ordered the Mexi Bowl and the Mediterranean Bowl, along with the tzatziki and pita to start. If you're comparing it to somewhere like Cava, it does take a bit longer, but it's clearly made with care. Everything tastes homemade, fresh, and noticeably better. The barista even made us a customized s'mores latte, topped with a toasted marshmallow, which was both fun and genuinely delicious. For dessert, we tried a homemade chocolate chip cookie with candied walnuts, and it was a total surprise homerun. This is the kind of place you come to when you want quality, not speed, and it's absolutely worth it.

After sitting for 45 -60 minutes waiting and watching everyone that sat down after us get apps and main course we flagged our waiter down. He admitted he didn't put it in. Hey we all make mistakes but make it right. Said he'd comp us drinks. We were there over 2 hours before we were served our order. Everyone that came in had already had dessert and left!! We missed meetings our friends who had waited for us for over an hour. Instead of making a scene I paid the bill .... with nothing comped. Plus they charge for side of rice we never got. No one ever came over and apologized. The least they could have done was sent a GC to us to try again. Remember something.... You never know what other people are going through and that was a heavy night for us. Do better!!

The manager stopped by throughout our visit to provide recommendations, and he was really nice. It made the experience feel more personal. For our appetizer, we ordered the Baba Ghannouj, which complemented the pita bread really well. It was our first time having it, and we did not know what to expect, but it was great. It was really flavorful, and we finished it wanting more. For our entrees, we had the Lamb Chops and the Seafood Tagine. The lamb chops were great. It was not a huge portion, but the meat was flavorful and cooked well. The presentation was also really nice. The Seafood Tagine looked great, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful.
