Was surprisingly shocked at how good my food was lol. I placed an order through grub hub & my oxtail plate was amazing. Tasted like authentic Jamaican oxtail is supposed to be. & I had a decent amount of meat w/ gravy. The only thing I was upset about was that they must've forgot about my plantain. But still my food was delicious read more

I placed an order through Grubhub for their Meat Lovers Oxtails ($27.50). I asked for extra oxtail gravy (upcharge of .50), bringing the total go $28. Well, my delivery arrived and all they sent was some dry rice and a few pieces of plantain! WTF?! This is atrocious! Who charges someone $28 and forgets to include the main part of the meal?! read more

This establishment is trash. I ordered Rasta pasta and jerk chicken. they gave me Rasta pasta with cut up grilled chicken in it. When I told them that that's not jerk chicken and I didn't ask for the jerk the chicken inside my rice pasta. They tell me that you have to be pacific when you're making an order with them you have to tell them do not put the jerk chicken with the Rasta pasta. That's not my job, that is their job to ask the customer. Do you want the jerk chicken inside of the Rasta pasta. I will never go there again. The place is trash. Unprofessional and a unorganized place. read more

I have been driving by in front of this restaurant for years. I decided to give it a try because it's on my collection of restaurants to try this year. They have a takeout side and a sit down for dinner side, since indoor dining starts today in New York City, it was open. I used the takeout side and ordered the stew red snapper with rice and peas, Mac and cheese. It comes with plantains and cabbage, the fish was tasty, delicious and well seasoned. The rice was bland, dry, but the stew gravy gave it flavor making it moist to eat with the fish. I enjoyed the meal and would definitely try them again. read more

The food is good here...but the Customer Service??? If I could give a negative 5 stars I would... While waiting for an order I noticed that one of the workers behind the counter was wearing her mask below her nose and mouth. When I nicely brought it to the attention of the woman that was behind the register seemed annoyed that I even mentioned it to her and gave me much unnecessary attitude about it. Ultimately she told me "well if you feel so uncomfortable about it you should say something to her". As the CUSTOMER, I shouldn't have to tell THE EMPLOYEE that they need to be compliant with current state health mandates, but I did...NICELY...ask the employee to put her mask on and she did...WITHOUT the nasty attitude of the woman behind the register. Especially during this pandemic, I take every opportunity to support black owned businesses. I hope that either Robert W. the manager or the owner is reading this post so they can know that unfortunately this was my LAST trip to your establishment. Yes, the food is good...but I can get the same or better food elsewhere WITHOUT having to spend my hard earned money and get unnecessary attitude from an employee. I hope this person's poor attitude does not cost you any more customers... read more

It's so unfortunate that I have to write this negative review. Let me start off by saying that the Chicken Soup and Calamari was amazing. The soup was tasty, fully flavored, a hint of spice and thick. The calamari was seasoned and the sauce was great. So here's the issue. While we were sitting and eating, we were encountered by a critter known as a roach. Sadly, it was an adult roach which means that it is possible to lay eggs. Once we saw the critter, we were no longer interested in finishing our food. Not to mention, the vast amount of fruit flies we were slapping from our food and faces. We didn't make a major issue of it, but we mentioned it to the waitress who then relayed the message to the manager. The manager finally came out but was reluctant on addressing the major issue. The manager killed the critter on the painting, with a tissue, and just said "sorry". To kill the critter, he asked us to move so he can kill the roach over the eating table. This was the hurtful part, especially since the waitress was way more attentive to the situation. Now, looking at Yelp, the establishment has been cited for violations prior to this review. I would suggest the establishment increase the frequency of their exterminator's inspection until the issue is fully handled. After a long deliberation between Robert (the manager) and us, he finally addressed the issue by removing the un-eaten food from the bill. Keep in mind, it took multiple times of him coming to the table and a conversation of 20 minutes to determine his best actions. I don't want to write-off the establishment due to this one occurrence, but the lack of urgency and action was a major cause for concern. I hope that these MAJOR issues are addressed and management can learn, address, and deal with the patrons in a more empathetic manner. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Aesthetically the outside does not due justice to the great ambience of the warm island vibes inside. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits along with the Lobster Rasta pasta. Now my family is from the south so i worried about the grits not coming out like the old southern style, but what a surprise. The shrimp and grits cooked to perfection covered with parmesan cheese. The rasta pasta was in a bowl fit for two topped with a juicy fried lobster tail. The customer service was impeccable. The cheif Sheldon gave A1 service making sure our meal was cooked to our spice preference and owner Robert was a gracious host. I would highly recommend visiting this establishment .bring your family ...bring a friend..great place for a date night. read more

Ordered delivery yesterday, 2plates 1 oxtail Rice n Peas, the other w/ their Famous Fried chicken, payed $2 extra And subbed the rice for Mashed Potato w/ oxtail gravy. Just to try something different. The food arrived in time. No contact delivery worked well. Each plate should have come with Stir fry vegetables. We received barely cooked Carrots and broccoli, not stir fried. No flavor or seasoning The oxtail and rice were ok. The Famous Fried Chicken in my opinion wasn't very good. It basically became soggy And wasn't very inviting to the eyes. The taste wasn't too bad. But the texture wasn't good, and hard to eat, due to the way it was cut. The mashed potatoes wasn't worth the price, I believe they were instant, and not creamy at all. Overall poor execution.This was our first time ordering From here, wouldn't order again. read more

I ordered take out from Breezes recently. I had the irie pasta with shrimp & jerk chicken. My mom had the mango jerk salmon with mash potatoes and asparagus. The irie pasta was good. It had a sweet taste to it, and the jerk chicken chunks and shrimp had enough pepper to satisfy my soul! My mom said she enjoyed the mango jerk salmon, but will leave the asparagus out next time. Sometime in the future I'll visit for happy hour or dine in. read more

When you really want to write a good review but can't. The take out spot is great. I've eaten from there several times. Because of this i knew the indoor dining would be just as good. Unfortunately on a quiet Sunday night it was not the case. We were supposed to go to The Door but i don't like eating at a restaurant 40mins before closing. It's just not right. So we came here as next best choice. We had to wait to be greeted no big deal. Jayda advises us to sit in the eating area. On dirty tables but she kindly wiped it after i told her it's dirty. I defo wanted fish. Fried/ steamed whatever but it had to be fish. I was craving it. So i asked how long would it take because our time is slightly limited depending on cooking time. She stated the escoveitch fish is the quickest out of the 3 fish meals. Ok no problem. Could take 20mins minimum but not more than 30. No problems there was time as we would still have an hour to eat after cooking time. We ordered two drinks, identical drinks. She comes out with one. So we asked for another. It took 20 mins for the other drink to arrive. In between this we were advised by the chef there was no pork left and we can have chicken. I'm assuming he couldn't find the server so he came and told us. No big deal 40mins later we had to ask an off duty employee (you could tell he was affiliated, because he was always back n forth) if the food would be appearing soon because we could never see the server Jayda. Eventually it came out and we asked for to go boxes straight away because we knew she would disappear again and our time is now shorter due to the wait. We asked to have breadfruit and Jayda asked if it was on the side or instead of rice. We both asked instead of rice if this was a possibility,she said yes. Cool bare In mind it would have only been $4 to add breadfruit but since i wasn't feeling to eat rice I'd rather not waste good food. We had to look for Jayda once again to get the bill. She comes and i notice the 2x $4 for breadfruit. If that's the case then where's my rice since im paying for it all. Jayda stated its an upcharge. But i tried to advise her the menu said extras /sides were $4 and had a list of items. She clearly didn't get it and thought she could just lie. Then i advised her that none of us got plantain in our meals and she apologized and said that was here fault because she forgot to tell us. So at this point i had to break down our whole dining experience and how dissatisfied i was with it all. She told me she's alone and has to work the whole place. So basically i should have compassion. I advised her i work in a hospitality role and would have been honest from the jump that you were alone. None of this is my fault, i work just as hard and would like last my hard earned money spent on things i can enjoy, so put your self in my shoes too. I asked where the manager was since she is so burdened and she said she doesn't know but not here. I said that's who you should voice your complaint with. So i asked for his name and the restaurants number. Jayda said she doesn't know it but if i search online i can find it. I said how about i look on the receipt and find it. There it was. So i clearly taught her something. So Robert is the managers name and i will be calling to speak to him. Defo eat the "to go"food from the shop on the side. Just don't waste your time and effort to eat inside. Another issue i had is, if two people order the same food make sure the quantity is somewhat equal. My fish was so small compared to the other plate. Like did i order a kids size. read more

I'm really not sure why there are so many negative reviews. I found that the food was authentic, ambiance was great and the service was impeccable. Our server was super friendly and came to check on us ever so often. We got coconut water and she even left the expiration date on the bottle so we could see it was fresh. I apreciated that alot. I had the jerk shrimp and festival to start. My co-worker suggested this place and the festival to me. Said the festival was soft and melted in your mouth and boy he was not joking. That was the best festival I ever had. Shrimp was clean on both sides. My brother ordered the codfish fritters and they were very tasty. My main dish was the jerk chicken with rice and peas, cabbage and plantain. My bro had the oxtail with rice and peas. His oxtail fell right off the bone. My jerk chicken was a bit dry on account of the white meat but our server brought dipping sauce for me. She also put oxtail gravy over my rice. There was a party about to start that was going to continue until 12. The host for that party invited us to stay but we opted out. We appreciated the invite and also the top notch service we received. It is worth mentioning that the food took awhile to leave the kitchen, which I anticipated based on the reviews. I would have been worried if they brought it out too soon. But everything was very tasty and I definitely will be back. read more

First let me say I called to confirm their hours & the man I spoke to was very kind. Myself & my party of 6 were greeted in the take out area & directed into the main dining room. Our server immediately took our orders for drinks & soup or salad. Then appetizers, then main courses. I've never received good hospitality in a Caribbean restaurant until I went to Breezes. Every staff member that we dealt with was amazingly kind. My family ordered Pumpkin & chicken soups. They went for it before I got pictures. We got henny wings, sticky wings & cod fish fritters. The fritters were so good we ordered another batch. The wings were good but pretty spicy. For my main I got the pasta with oxtails. I already had their oxtails via Uber eats but the pasta was great too. My mother told them it was my birthday. They played the birthday song over the loud speaker, brought me cake & sung. Then the waitress invited me to take pictures in the VIP area. Overall, I have no complaints & I will return & continue to order via Uber eats. read more

Ordered codfish and calalloo. All I tasted was black pepper. I should not have to add salt to codfish. I could barely finish it:/

I wish you you had not bothered to quickly defrost the fish and cook it just to fulfill my order. The flesh of the fish was hard and tasteless not delicate. Definitely not worth the wait. I want my money back! Shame on you for having me wait two hours for this tasteless crap! read more

Loved everything about this place. My friend and I stopped in after work to grab dinner and some drinks. We had complimentary pumpkin soup which was amazing. Then for appetizers We tried the jerk wings also delicious. For our meal we both ordered the shrimp Pasta and was just amazed how delicious it was. They didn't skimp on the shrimp either which was great. Our server was Jada, very nice young lady that made the best drinks. The bill was also very decent so my experience here was just amazing. I will be a repeat customer. Thank you!!! read more

Despite the bad experiences in the past, I continue to try to patronize the Breezes because they are the closest restaurant to my home and the fool is usually good but ma'an is their Customer Service terrible. As a Business person myself, I understand the necessity of good Customer Service since they portray the first impression of the business. In the past, I had complained about the Breezes Customer Service and nothing seem to improve. My latest experience is today Friday July 15th, 2021, I called the Breezes at (718)527-5012 and someone answered and said "please hold" and so I hold and hold and hold and more than twelve minutes later the person came back and asked to help me. I explained that I just wanted to see what soup was on the menu today and I was put on hold for more than twelve minutes. Any normal Customer Service Rep would say I am sorry or something to that effect but this young lady who said her name is Nashita or something close just said what soup they have today and hanged up. Come on people, we can do better than this and I urge the Breezes Grill to take the challenge and perform at a higher standard. Seriously! read more

I would give zero stars if I could. I took my sister who is visiting from Florida here around 11pm because her flight came in late. The woman who was in the take out area had absolutely zero customer service skills. She barely made eye contact and behaved as though she was angry we came in. We still were polite and thanked her after we got our food and she said nothing. The food (jerk chicken and rice) was okay per my sister. read more

I will most likely not order from this restaurant again. The PRICE OF THE FOOD DOES NOT MATCH THE QUALITY AND PORTION. I ordered the Mango Jerk Salmon with a side of mashed potatoes and asparagus along with French fries and Breezes Iris Pasta. The Mango Jerk Salmon had a decent taste but the quality and price did not match up. The salmon was palm sized (a woman's hand), small, tough and the Mango wasn't fresh. I DID NOT RECEIVE fresh asparagus- I received mixed veggies that tasted and looked like bagged frozen vegetables and the mashed potatoes were so so. So!, for 18 bucks I most likely received a small Farm raised frozen salmon and frozen veggies along with mashed potatoes that didn't taste that great! This is terrible. Cmon, for 18 bucks at fine establishment I would have gotten a fresh chunky/ flaky piece of salmon with a fresh mango sauce , fresh asparagus and a nicely whipped mash potatoes. I truly feel CHEATED. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this place to a friend I am only giving this place two stars because the Breezes Irie Pasta wasn't so bad. It wasn't good enough for me to return for a second visit though. And lastly, the French fries weren't fresh and tasted like fries that was reheated. Hope my review helps the next person decide on whether they would like to take a bite at Breezes Island Grill. read more
