    A catfish tail with no meat.

    There was silver hair in my mac n cheese. Additionally, I ordered the catfish lunch and received one full piece and the other piece was a burnt tail with hardly any meat and the cabbage was so undercooked it should've just been salad. When I called back to express my concerns, the cashier told me I needed to specify what portions of fish I wanted, when I stated that it should've been explained by the establishment and not left up to the customer to guess what portions were available, she hung up the phone. Furthermore the rice was mushy and the atmosphere had a rank order and was unclean. Do not patronize this business. IDPH needs to do an inspection.

    Dry and small

    Ummmm just ain't like it use to be. Prices have increased and quality has diminished. Ordered for wings and each was over cooked with too much salt on the seasoning rice and peas were dry and hard. STEP IT UP FOR THE COMMUNITY !!!! I will say that the staff is very courteous especially the women at the register always smiling.

    Oxtail dinner with Steamed Cabbage
    Stephanie D.

    I went to the GP Caribbean Jerk Palace in country club hills. I hope they are connect. Mannn... This is my favorite spot. I already went twice and planning to visit soon to try they jerk chicken salad. Customer service is nice. They were really helpful when I came in for my first visit. My second visit some lady had an issue with her food and The manager(?)Was really working with her with fixing the issue. They can be crowded. When I went the second time, I thought i was going to have to wait for awhile but I had my food within 30mins (wasn't a big deal). I love jerk chicken and order both times on separate occasions but switched up the sides. I ordered dark meat with cabbage and also dark meat with Mac and cheese. The Mac and Cheese is DELICIOUS!! Yes it's cheesy!! They know exactly what they doing with the Mac and cheese. The jerk chicken is great too but I love the jerk sauce it's very spicy like it suppose to be! Cabbage is good too! The jerk chicken dinner comes with beans and rice, plantains, bread, and you choose another side. My mom had the oxtails she enjoyed her meal but said it was salty. I recommend others to try it. I plan to go back for their jerk chicken salad. Service is good and food even better. If you don't want to wait .. I believe you can call in. On this yelp page it's says it's located on halsted.. but I couldn't find the page for the country club hills location. If you want to try it out it's in the county club hills plaza 4253 167th St Country Club Hills

    Jerk dinner

    I like to try different places when I come to the south side and this place was recommended. The wait time is reasonable but the cashiers are young and unprofessional in my opinion. Moreover the plantains were really dry like they were old/dated and this made me question the expiration or the rest of the food . The other items were good but you can never be to sure.

    Dry rice & extra dry plantains w/salmon
    MrsLMyles ..

    So I ordered through Yelp easy peasy...order received order in the works dadadda next your orders ready...that's when it gets bad PULLED UP WENT IN ORDER WAS NOT READY!!! SAT IN THE LOBBY FOR AN HOUR AND ON TOP OF THAT IT WAS THE WRONG ORDER!!!! Went back and forth with them about order# order name order this and that and they still got it wrong!! I ordered dark jerk chicken, peas and rice w/plantains. Customer service was HORRIBLE!! Horrible!! Everybody in there had bad attitudes!! I will NOT be going back EVER. I'll spend my coins else where...Jamaican Gates @10226 S. Halsted has better customer service and better food in my opinion I was just trying to go where my husband suggested. NEVER AGAIN!!! A whole hour wasted.

    Long wait time, rice and beans are a hit & miss. Food consistency is inconsistent as well. Some days it's good other days not so good.

My fellow traveling house heads trusted my foodie instincts, but there was a little skepticism until our rideshare driver gave it his enthusiastic vote of confidence! Garifuna Flava is a Black-owned restaurant celebrating the rich flavors and traditions of Belizean, Caribbean, Latin, and Indigenous Garifuna cuisine. The restaurant isn't fancy, yet it is warm, welcoming, and one of the owners even took time to share the history of the Garifuna people with one of my friends. And making the experience even more authentic was the soundtrack of Caribbean and reggae music, which had us swaying, singing along, and feeling right at home like a spot in the Caribbean or Brooklyn. As for the food, it was DELISH! I enjoyed tender oxtails with yams, fried sweet plantains, rice, and stew beans. It was comfort food that tasted like a home-cooked meal. A nice cold Ting was the perfect pairing. I couldn't resist sampling a dining partner's shrimp dish, which was also flavorful. Garifuna Flava is located in Chicago Lawn, often referred to locally as Marquette Park on Chicago's Southwest Side. The neighborhood is home to the beautiful 323-acre Marquette Park, designed by the Olmsted Brothers (sons of the designer of Central Park), and holds an important place in the city's civil rights history. Thank you, Garifuna Flava, for a delicious meal and a cultural experience I'll remember. I'll definitely be back. But don't just take my word for it, go experience the yummyliciousness for yourself! Mmmm... #BonAppetit! Cheers!

Ambiance is fun at The Wild Hare. The live music in the back room int he evenings are definitely where it's at. I would recommend checking out the event calendar on their website to help pick which day you may want to come. My only complaint is that I really wish the DJ played more reggae in the restaurant. I expected to have a full reggae night, but all the way up until the live band, it was mostly hip hop and R&B with the occasional reggae throwback. Give us more; we came for the reggae vibes!

I went by, and placed an order for the lunch special (good until 4p weekdays), and not only was the cashier courteous, but the service was remarkably expeditious compared to most 'traditional' Jamaican restaurants. They have many of the sides cooked and placed under a heater lamp, while the chicken was prepared to order. $10 for the white jerk lunch special, and it was well worth the investment. Great service, food, and value. The only reason it's short of 5-stars is due to the absence of background music, which has a well-kept dining area for patrons to sit-in and eat. There is no public bathroom here, so be advised before you arrive if you plan on staying and eating. Otherwise, this is a promising jerk chicken option, and could very well be my go-to spot for such a cuisine.
