I had been craving some oxtails for a while now. I went to this place based on the reviews. Long…read morestory short, the flavors were mostly good. The problem is the portions. The star of the show should have been the oxtails and not the mac&cheese or the steamed cabbage. I was highly disappointed to find that the mac&cheese was the bulk of the plate while the oxtails seemed more like a side them the entree. $28.00 for mostly sides and very little oxtails. Very little in size and portions. I will not return.

I get that times are tough, and food is expensive.... BUT for 25 dollars YOU GOTTA HAVE MORE MEAT IN A CURRY CHICKEN PLATTER. You just do...

I think the portions for the price are a rip off....

The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had a relaxed atmosphere from the moment I walked in. Everything felt organized, and the experience was smooth from start to finish. Food: Even though Jamaican food normally isn't my go-to, the food here was actually really good. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. It definitely gave me a better appreciation for the cuisine, and I'd be open to trying more from the menu next time. Service: Service was great the entire time. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly. I had no issues at all during the visit, and the experience felt easy and comfortable. Ambiance: The establishment was very clean and had a nice overall vibe. It felt like a good place to sit down, relax, and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. Overall: Good food, fast service, and a clean, welcoming environment. Even as someone who doesn't normally go for Jamaican food, 14 Parishes gave me a good experience and definitely made a solid impression.

But the overall experience brings it down to 3 stars. Prices feel high for the casual setup, the place looks tired and really needs a thorough cleaning (a deep clean and freshening up the vibe would instantly boost customer enjoyment a ton), and better interaction with guests would make a huge difference -- friendlier service, quicker check-ins, and making people feel truly welcomed would go a long way. As a local I'm still rooting hard for them because the potential is there and the music is solid. spruce up the space, and improve guest interaction and this spot would be packed and loved by everyone. Definitely worth trying for the food, just come with realistic expectations

I was excited to try Coco Hut after seeing photos of the food and drinks online, but my experience…read morewas disappointing. I placed a pickup order and waited longer than expected for it to be prepared. When I received my food, the tacos were cold, and the watermelon refresher looked very different from what was advertised. For a $31 order, I expected better quality and presentation. The food wasn't terrible, but it did not match the expectations set by the restaurant's marketing, and receiving cold food after a long wait was frustrating. I'm sharing this feedback in hopes that consistency and quality improve in the future.

That being said, you are definitely getting your moneys worth here. My party of 4 ordered 3 oxtails plates with rices and peas, Mac n cheese and the veggies. The oxtail were huge and jerk and delicious. (They ate too fast so no pics!) I was a bit more reserve when it came to my plate but I got the oxtail taco and nachos that are made with fries. I only ate the taco because I was so overwhelmed by the size of my plate (which is pictured)! Everybody enjoyed their food and I have plenty of leftovers. Again, the amount of oxtail in the taco and on the fries/nachos was ungodly. I have never seen that before. Service was nice and everything is made to order so there is a wait. No frills kind of place so no need to dress up. Nice music and selfie booth inside where you can send pics to yourself. Overall, I would go back and try something else when I return.

I'd go back for just those two. The sambusas, however, were my favorite of the whole meal. Delightful. Crisp, golden, with a nice tangy sauce.

I'll start this review off by saying that if anyone is asking me for a delicious spot to eat in Metairie, you better believe Jamaican Jerk House is going to be in my top 5 recommendations. I went inside to order takeout, and the entire vibe of this spot was dope. I loved the decorations, and it definitely gave me an authentic Jamaican vibe right here in Louisiana. Being that I'm from this city, I'm always curious to see new takes on different cultures made right here at home. Everything I had was delicious, and I'm pretty sure I added +10 lbs to the belly. But honestly, it was weight worth gaining, because I had to wash everything down with a delicious Jamaican Rum Punch Daiquiri. I call that WEIGHT-WATCHERS The servers were extremely sweet and down-to-earth. As busy as this place was, you could tell there was a genuine sense of joy behind the counter. Everybody seemed like they actually enjoyed what they were doing, and that goes a long way. Now, I forgot everything I had since there are quite a few days between my visit and this review. BUT I did take a picture of one particular item I tried... And those daggone oxtail tacos... ... .. . **SHEESH!!** These things were so tender, and the tacos were absolutely overflowing with oxtail. You know you're eating good when you have to pause after the first bite and just sit there for a second, and then remember to say grace Jamaican Jerk House definitely earned a spot on my list. If you're in Metairie and looking for something flavorful, different, and downright delicious, JJH is worth the stop. And yes... I'd go back just for those oxtail tacos + Daqs WEIGHT-WATCHERS

Service started off a little slow, but it was a full house around 2 p.m. on a Saturday. Looking…read morearound the dining room, it seemed like no one had their food yet, so the kitchen was clearly backed up. It took about 15 minutes for our server to acknowledge us, but she apologized right away and took our entire order. From that point on, everything improved. Our appetizer came out quickly. They were running a special--2 jerk wings for $3--so we ordered two servings. For our entrées, we had the spicy brown stew plate and the jerk chicken and oxtail combo plate. I ordered the spicy brown stew, but it wasn't very spicy. That said, it was still packed with flavor, so I wasn't disappointed. The food arrived not long after we ordered, and everything was flavorful with generous portions. The meat portions were especially impressive. The rice was good, but compared to the amount of meat, I'd probably order an extra side of rice next time and split the meat and sides. They also offer a military discount, which was a nice bonus. Overall, despite the slow start, the great food and friendly service made it a worthwhile visit. Based on my experience, I'd definitely recommend this place and plan to stop by again whenever I'm in the area.

Five solid stars! Ethiopian cuisine is best enjoyed family style. My wife and I each ordered an entree (hers was fish based; mine was chicken), and each of our entrees came with tasty sides.
