FYI - I am from NYC. I've been to Jamaica, all over.. from home-cooked meals to resort/restaurant…read morefood... I love Jamaican cuisine. I came to Bethlehem PA to visit a few brothers. I wanted them to get out the box and find me some good food that is not from a pizzeria, WaWa's, GIANT Supermarket, etc. We settled on....... JAMAICAN! "Yes!", I thought. But, tbh, I wasn't expecting much out here. But boy, I was proven wrong with Cherry's Caribbean Palace: - Curry Goat: Soft, tender, hearty, healthy meat. It was cooked perfect. Not gamy or chewy, but exactly what you'd expect when you think curry goat. Perfect, mild, yellow, Jamaican curry style flavor. - Curry Chicken: You know Cherry's is authentic by how to they chop up the chicken. Bones and meat - it's not a thoughtless dish. You have to work at it, but so worth it. Doesn't seem like it's those hormone-pumped, farm raised chicken. Again with perfect, mild, Jamaican curry flavor. Not too spicy at all. - Jerk Chicken: Fire, in the traditional island jerk sense. Made a few of us sweat. Healthy, meaty portions. Skin was perfectly cooked with the jerk. It wasn't falling apart, like other places. - Jerk Pork: It's jerk, but you can taste the Jamaican pork, 'bbq' aspect, if you know what I mean. It has a, imo, a bit of tangy hint. Which is why I rate it Delicious. - The beef patties: oh man, the beef patties. The ground meat inside was not liquified (think pizzeria beef patties), and it wasn't dry crumbs (think supermarket fast food beef patties). It was top notch. You can tell because Cherry's cook their beef patties with a little slit/hole on the top of the patty (I assume they do this because they know how they want to cook the meat inside). Frickin' loved the beef patties. - Oxtail: the meat itself was quality; not full of ligaments or fatty parts. It wasn't dry and overcooked. It was perfectly made. And the sauce, ooh, the sauce. It's not like how other restaurants would use the same kind of base & spices, but at Cherry's, they have a specific oxtail sauce that is distinct, and quite lovely. - Everything came with rice and peas (great consistency, soft, but not watery or clumpy), perfect balance for all the spicy entrees above. - Everything came with cooked cabbage (fresh, crunchy, and not slimy) - Everything came with sweet plantains (ripe & sweet with a little tinge) Call ahead to order! Much better to work with them direct - not Uber eats! They are good people. When picking up. The gentlemen let us know that they'd bring the food out to our car. It might look like a 'hole in the wall' (no offense), BUT IT'S THE REALEST FOOD. It made me and my boys' stomachs very happy. Thank you Cherry's.. we're definitely going to be a good, repeat customer.

We have been here several times now and have ordered the oxtail platter, jerk chicken platter, curry chicken platter as well as a side of mac and cheese. This time we had the Red Snapper Platter. It was great, just wish there was nice snapper for the price. It's a whole snapper bones and all! The portion sizes are very generous and we easily split a large platter between two adults. The platters are served with rice and beans, cabbage, plantains and a piece of corn bread. The chicken is succulent, flavorful, and spicy. The corn bread is among the best I've had and the mac and cheese amazing. The rice and beans was as Caribbean as you're going to get. The only thing I didn't care for is their cabbage or mixed vegetables, because it's bland in comparison to the other food on my plate. The main reason, my reviews forgo a star is the salt content as well as it takes a while to get your order. We usually do take-out, but there is casual dining seating inside as well as outdoor tables.

As far as his food, it taste spectacular, but the portion control is left to be desired. I purchased oxtails, which I understand is an expensive meat, but the portion I received was skimpy and I felt I could've got a little more on my plate for that price, but the taste was spot on. I also ordered some stew chicken which was really good and the portion size was pretty decent. Would I go back? absolutely maybe not for oxtails due to the portion size, but the other food was very good. The Customer Service was amazing. Mr. Winston was great with educating us on the various Foods that he sold and the culture that came behind it. The ambience of the restaurant was nice very relaxing and gave off the ambience is also very nice. Very welcoming and inviting again if I'm ever in the area, I surely will check this place

Better service would have easily given this place 5 stars! It's always a little off-putting (for…read moreme) when the person who is supposed to take your order is visibly annoyed by general questions about the menu - especially, if it's your first time at the establishment (whether it's to dine-in or for takeout). That was my experience upon entering Winston's and browsing the menu. Which, might I add, did not display all available options or reflect current prices. How can you NOT ask questions?! Anyway, when we arrived Winston's looks like a brownstone type of home that has a restaurant occupying the first floor. We happened to find a parking space right in front - go us! Street parking seemed to be scarce. The food is excellent. The most authentic tasting Jamaican cuisine I have had in a long time. It's evident they know what they're doing in the kitchen! I ordered the curry chicken with rice/peas and cabbage. Also, a side of macaroni and cheese, which was freshly bubbling out of the oven. We eat with our eyes first, right? I could not resist! And it did not disappoint, at all. Plenty cheesy and gooey while flavorful, too. The curry chicken packed a delicious punch of flavor with each bite as it fell off of the bone. The cabbage, my favorite, shredded into perfect slices and a little spicy kick, perfectly combined with the few potatoes and carrots included with it. The rice/peas was delightful as well. A great meal! By the time we were ready to exit, the service had become much 'friendlier'. However, it is not lost on me that it's only because the owner, Mr. Winston himself, came in and greeted us. He was so jovial and inviting. Prior to that moment, the gentleman behind the counter had MUCH attitude. Overall, the food is what will bring me back here. And I WILL be back!

The oxtails were fine. They were some what tender, flavorful, and coated in a rich sauce that soaked into the rice and beans. My only complaint was that I wanted a few meatier pieces. With oxtails, there's always that delicate negotiation between bone, fat, and actual meat, and my plate leaned a little too heavily toward the first two. The sides were where the meal lost some momentum. I went with rice and beans, which did exactly what they needed to do, but I wasn't particularly impressed with the cabbage. The plantains were not enjoyable that day. More importantly, I wish there were more side options altogether. Jamaican food has too many great possibilities for the supporting cast to feel this limited. The pricing is also a little curious. There isn't much difference between a small and a large, which makes ordering the small feel almost financially irresponsible. Just get the large. Is this the best Jamaican food I've ever had? Absolutely Not. But it's certainly not the worst, either. The oxtails were good enough to satisfy the craving, and I left feeling like I'd eaten a solid meal. With stronger sides, a little more meat on those bones, and a few more choices on the menu, it could be considerably better. For now, I'd call it a respectable neighborhood option when the oxtail craving comes calling.
