Decided to stop at this location to grab a quick snack. Purchased a beef patty for $3.78. While driving tried what was the WORST patty I have ever had! It was cold dried out mess! I am so glad I didn't try anything else from this location. I can't understand how a "resturant" has no quality control methods! If this is what the rest of the food is like I'm glad I kept my money. If the small things get by no way would I expect a meal to be any better! Save your money unless you just like wasting it and still be hungry! read more

Good food but the service could be better.But their jerk pork is so good I forget about the poor service every time .

I really wanted to like this place and I do kinda like it. They have a couple things they could do to raise this to 5 stars. You can easily see this place from the street and it is a stand alone building that sticks out. The parking lot is half paved. I came in and both menu signs were out. The menus are on two TVs. They did not have any printed menus. Good thing I already knew what I wanted. I ordered the Large Oxtails with yellow rice. They charged 4% for using a credit card. They did not have a bathroom for customers. I got my food and the oxtails were cold. The rice and cabbage were warm but the oxtails were cold with warm gravy. So disappointing. The flavor was good but I expected more of a kick. read more

***False Advertisement Alert*** Menu prices are different from what's being charged at time of payment. My receipt showed a higher charge than what's on the overhead menu. I mentioned this to an employee and she "nonchalantly" said it would be fix and refused to return the difference in price. read more

Genuinely if I could I would give NO STARS I would!!! It's so disappointing, seeing that I used to come here a lot due to working down the street. But come to think about it now I could throw up. I'm no longer in the area, but on Saturday January 31st. I passing through and road past the restaurant. I said to myself, I'm going to make it my mission to grab a plate before leaving that side of town. I so happened to their last customer because they were closing early due to the weather, it was snowing. Although I felt a little rushed. The young lady took my order, which was a small jerk chicken plate. In which I was told, they will no longer have mac & cheese and to my understanding vegetables as well. So I ended up with extra rice and peas and just jerk chicken and was charged the full plate. My food was brought to me by an older woman with gray short hair and she was short. I get home and open the plate. The food looks ok/eatable at the time. Into my second bite, I noticed something shiny and white on my spoon. Seeing how I'm Jamaican and we use a lot of herbs and spices I didn't think anything of it. But something told me to pull it out before taking another bite. Sure enough it was a gray/white short strand of hair. I immediately ran to the bathroom and tried to make myself vomit. Sorry TMI!!! Once I was able to get back to the plate. I took a more thorough look. Just find another piece of short gray/white hair. Clearly two different sizes, pieces of hair. At this point, I'm disappointed and disgusted all at the same time. Knowing most Jamaican places are closed on Sundays in the US. I went ahead and took a picture of the receipt food in Hear fount and proceeded to throw the food away. Seeing I was not planning on returning to that side of town yet along that restaurant. I had to wait to call Monday, which is today, for a refund. The lady who answered the phone sounded like the same lady who handed me my food with the short gray hair. Which I thought was good because it would make more sense speaking to her. But clearly not I was yelled at and accused of possibly putting gray hair in my $13 plate of food and that my pictures does not matter. Which I thought was wild, seeing she has gray hair, but clearly did not want to admit. If you ever got food here, I'm pretty sure you would recognize their jerk chicken and the black to-go containers. As well as the side of sauce. Personally, they can keep the measly $13 they clearly need it to buy hairnet and gloves. This establishment probably would not even pass a health check, come to think of it. No one deserves to pay, with their hard earned money for a plate of hair. DON'T LET THOSE DARK SAUCES, FOOL YOU!!! PLEASE CHECK YOUR FOOD!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE. IT IS A HEALTH HAZARD THAT IS CLEARLY NOT TAKEN SERIOUS! read more

jerk pork was good rice & peas well done luv it pork tender and juice but the jerk chicken gotta be revisited. Don't know if he was having a bad day today. It's not the best I've had. I'm Jamaican by Bertch American by choice. I did not like the food cake, cold and sweet raisins and fruits in it too obvious. ambience was OK nice small restaurant and clean. Service was mixed. The gentleman was very pleasant very engaging, but there was a female there. She must've been having a bad day. Customer service is key. I will revisit later on in the future to see if there's any improvement. read more

You know its good when authentic Jamaicans are working and coming here to get food. Ordered the oxtails and brown stew chicken both very good flavorful. Some people think jerk is just spice but the food was very well seasoned. Food was prepared quickly and came out hot and fresh. My friend however said the cabbage was nasty but plantains were really good. read more

The food is amazing . I try visit at least once or twice a week for there lunch special service is always great . The gorgeous young lady at counter is always so pleasant. read more

I went here today for the first time in several years and it was terrible . The jerk chicken was dry, not one bit of sauce , it almost seemed as thought it had been reheated several times because it was stiff. The rice had just a tiny bit of oxtail gravy . I will say the cabbage was hot and fresh , but I can buy a truck load of cabbage for 14.00. I won't be back . read more

Best in Metro ATL...Been going there for years. Great prices. Fast courteous service. And the food is constantly the same and always hot. Love the Curry Chicken lunch special and the jerk wings (NOTE: you must like extra spicy for the wings.) read more

These stars are for KK. The jerk chicken with rice and peas are my all time favorite!!! Great portion size and amazingly fresh.

I ordered huge trays of food from here for my baby shower and everyone could not stop talking about how good the food was. I was worried there would be a ton of left overs but everyone ate it up! The owners are really nice as well :) We got Jerk chicken, curry shrimp, ribs, and rice. read more

This place serves AUTHENTIC Caribbean food! Jerk pork is good but too fatty, the food overall is good, I took off 2 stars for the horrible customer service. Their customer service is rude. Once, my boyfriend had to cuss them out because the light skin lady kept rushing me to move after I got my food when I was putting hot sauce on my food. read more

Alright I'll be up front with you here. Boston Jerk has some of the best smoked meats you're gonna find in this city. Chicken, ribs, all of it. Honestly if they decide Caribbean isn't the move for them I'll be the first person to pop up and say "Become a BBQ spot! Serve me some collards and yams and were golden!" I can't comment on the authenticity of it, I don't enjoy their jerk sauce at all. But the MEAT seriously. Get some jerk chicken or the ribs. Wow. Everything is tasty and juicy, prices are nice, and I really could go for the meat now. Just go here for the chicken alone. I promise if you liked smoked meats it's the place to be. And yea I suppose they've got the traditional sides. The rice and peas are good, the oxtail is solid, especially that gravy. They've got a lot of patty flavors, and a solid drink & dessert menu. ...But really? Go here and try their chicken. read more

Service quick and people nice. Curry chicken was a lil salty but everything else was good. $5 a plate ain't bad at all. read more

My sister and I visited this restaurant today and the food and customer service was awful. My sister took one forkful of the food but couldn't eat anymore because the food was very salty. I encouraged her to take it to the counter and ask for patties instead. The counter person told her that they "don't cook with salt." He said something to the cook who then barged out of the kitchen and cursed out my sister. He did not try to correct the issue, offer an apology but instead cursed her out loudly in front of the other customers. Both the food and customer service were awful and we will not support this business in the future. read more

I ate here for lunch one day a couple of weeks ago. Ordering at the counter, I had the oxtails (large meal) over rice with cabbage and plantains for $12. The serving was large and well worth the money. The food tasted very good. The gravy was also very good. This meal was very filling and made me happy. The dining room was clean and had a tv. The restroom requires you getting a key from the ordering counter. It was clean. I would happily return. Counter service was friendly. This is a good place to eat with very reasonable prices. read more

I'm a 32 year Police Veteran. I work extra jobs as a Police Officer In Atlanta Georgia.On 09/09/2024 at approximately 11:45am, My work crew was working outside this establishment, I went into this establishment as asked if I could use their restroom. Answer was NO. So they lost 8 paying customers with this answer. Me personally, If an establishment want let a paying customer use their restroom facility, they will not get my business ever again. I rated this a one star because of this action. This Restaurant denied a Police Officer to use the restroom. read more

I had to knock a star off for the facilities and lack of vegetarian options. Good food, friendly staff, but you will feel like you are at someone's house given that the staff are watching tv in the main dining room. Lots of drink options, my food came out hot and fresh, and the cashier was super helpful. Unsolicited Suggestions ... Pave the parking, because I drove the VW and left the Combat Earthmover home. I almost fell into a pothole and shot off an embankment at the same time. It's rough. The cashier seemed very confused when I asked for a vegetable curry plate. I didn't think it was that complicated. To her credit, she went above and beyond to prepare me something nice, and it was delicious. I asked her why her Yelp ratings were low, because the staff was so nice... she said the manager had been discouraged by reviews and they were trying to make a comeback. You got to love that. I will definitely eat here again, I appreciate their efforts to make the facilities and service match the quality of the food. Try the lunch specials- the low prices do not reflect quality or portion... excellent meal! read more

When I tell you this place pissed me off like nobody's business I mean it. For starters I waited 30 minutes for take out only to find out the unfriendly woman at the counter didn't ring up my curry chicken or breadfruit. I asked her where the food was after getting tired of waiting. How y'all don't have food ready when I'm there at 10:56 and the doors open at 11? SMH! They are slow: Prices are reasonable - $10 for jerk pork but the sauce was too salty patties (jerk chicken + beef) were 10/10 And very good $1.79 Drinks - $3.50 which is too high - pineapple ginger was 6/10 - too much ginger. I asked the girl where the plantains were and she said they were coming. I'm lost on how folks coming 10+ minutes after me have all their food. I will not return! Poor customer service all around! read more

Best jerk I've found in the area always great and I have eaten here for 6 years also good rum cake

Good food. They just reopened the dining area but they don't accept call in orders which is unfortunate and it can be a short wait

bad attitudes at the green house,okay food when the cook cares too,no public restroom i went outside to use it she followed me

While on the way to my doctors appt. I stopped by Boston Jerk Center for lunch. I ordered the lunch special $3.99. They portion sizes are good but the food looked like leftovers. I could tell that the meat wasn't fresh, the plantains weren't either. The interesting part is that there was a long line of customers waiting to order. That makes me think that maybe my experience is a one-off. I haven't decided if I will go back. read more

Always fresh, always a good amount of food. Great customer service. The parents and even the grand daughter are great host. Best jerk around! read more

I got the jerk meal not knowing they had a lunch special. As soon as I paid I asked could I get the curry instead and they wouldn't change my meal. Rhe food was nasty, building looked ran down, and service is horrible. I won't be going back, & will have everybody I know leave a bad review until I'm reimbursed from these foreign frauds read more

Updated: 9/29/2020 For years I've dined at this establishment and one other time I gave them a one start then changed the review because I love the food but they people that work their are BEYOND RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! On their menu there are certain items that state CALL TO ORDER! I referred my office to order lunch from them and they refused to take a call in order. I have made call in orders, as well as ordered catering! I SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS BUT THEY HAVE NO MANNERS!!!!!! I was just told I don't care if you are placing 100 orders we are not taking to go orders! When you go there and wait in that long line you are INDEED placing a TO GO ORDER!!!! It's too late to change the entire office order so they will get our money today but I will NEVER BE BACK!!! AFTER MANY YEARS IM DONE! TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH A LITTLE MORE RESPECT SINCE IT IS US THAT KEEP YOUR DOORS OPEN! Last review was four years ago which shows how long I've been a customer! Today's date 9/29/2029 read more

Boston Jerk Center - Look at that..."call to order" from a restaurant that does not take call in orders - Caribbean Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Can't believe it's been 5 years since my last review here. Went back Sat, 11/9/19. * Jerk chicken is still on point and I still say they need to sell this jerk sauce. It just makes everything right with the world. I'm a dark meat lover & hubby is white meat. The problem is everyone can't grill white meat without drying it out. During this visit, my husband wanted to negotiate getting more of my dark meat because ummm the white meat was dry, very dry and even the sauce couldn't remedy it. I was kind and shared with him but I wasn't happy about it. Wont happen again and he knows it. Husbands listen to your wives. We know best. * Jerk pork is still excellent. * Curry goat was good before but hubby said they outdid themselves with this batch and he wished he'd ordered a larger size. * The cabbage by far is my favorite of all the Jamaican restaurants in ATL. Some of y'all are saying who reviews cabbage. I do because I love good flavorful steamed cabbage. At the end of the day, I still Boston Jerk so Go. * Wasn't slow as molasses this time, but I was lucky enough to catch them during a window with light traffic. read more

I'm six months pregnant so I drove 45 mins to get here and they closed 30 mins earlier. She then proceeds to take my order over the phone and the owner tells her no more orders so she refuses to take my order I then ask to speak to him and you hear him say he's not talking!!!! Very disappointed I will not be coming back here! read more

Had my mouth really for some stewed chicken and veggies and what i got was a plate of mess. Disappointment can not even come close to what i was feeling. Ive eaten here several times before a couple of years back and when i say it has changed!!!!!!! I wanted to take all the food back but i was hungry and tired and figure you got me on this round and i wont be back. PBJ sandwich night and a sprite was much better i should have stayed home. No Jamaican flavor just ugh. Don't say i didn't warn you. read more

I love this place they have the best oxtails,red beans and rice. The cabbage is very good also and restaurant is always clean. They have cheap lunch specials but I only get oxtails when I go.The customer service could be more professional but I will go either way.Lol read more

false advertising. had the price for fish as $19. However I was charged 25 for the fish. The cashier claimed that it was a large fish. There was only one price advertised. That is down a dirty practice. They ought to be stopped read more

Spent 40 today it was about 12 noon and our food was horrible. All of it. Rice and peas oxtails stew pork. And the wings. We think we got food from the day before. It was just nasty waste of calories and money. Messed up my Mother's Day read more

OMG THIS PLACE IS NASTY. CAN YOU CLEAN UP PLEASE, FLIES EVERYWHERE AND WHY ARE YOU SO SLOW I am struggling with finding something good to say and really there isn't anything. Your place is a total nasty mess. why not sweep the floor, Take out the trash, and please Wipe Up the Nasty Sticky Fly encrusted tables. I threw the food away when I saw the flies fly directly from the door into your kitchen. The health department needs to visit this place immediately. what makes no sense is that they have three people working and only one if them actually takes orders, collects the money, packs the food, and delivers it at the counter. so what are the other two doing ? why does it take 15 mins to get a rice and peas and plantain side ? this place really needs to be cleaned up and to get some staff who work, cuz it's a total waste. read more

Had been seeing this place for years and wanted to stop by, I should have kept driving. Ordered stewed chicken and it was almost like a mix between bbq sauce and teriyaki. Wasn't good at all and the cabbage was bland and even bad. Could have looked over the piss poor attitude if the food was good. Should have left when I noticed none of the customers out front were Islanders, that's a good rule of thumb. My friend got a side of Mac and cheese and just NO. Sis doesn't have to worry about my returning. Gave two stars because the rice wasn't over cooked/dry at least. ‍ Glad I decided not to get a large. read more

Plain ole RUDE! Customer servive was awful. I will never return. Representative hung upon me.

Horrible customer service that woman with the glasses had a nasty attitude no wonder the place was empty today. Been going there for years but lately she's got worse and it's to the point I will not be returning especially if she is there and it's a shame because the food is actually good read more

Soooo....I thought I would try this place since I heard good reviews. I look up their hours and address. It says open until 9:00pm. I arrive at 7:38pm. Door is locked. A woman is putting juice in the refrigerator as I approach the door. She just stands there looking confused like why am I at the door....I ask are you closed? She doesn't answer. I stand there like are you open , are you going to open the door....NOTHING. No response. Not even out of courtesy respond "we're closed" she just goes back into the kitchen. *sigh* I try to support my people but the lack of customer service and just common courtesy has turned me off already. Im not sure if I will be back. If I try again, and that's a BIG IF, hopefully, I'll be able to update from one star. read more
