    Small dining area
    Evita N.

    I'm surprised at the bad reviews for this small Jamaican restaurant located on Springfield Ave. in Vauxhall. I stopped in for a quick patty and Cool Runnings did not disappoint. I ordered a curry chicken and jerk chicken patty, both were fresh, hot and tasty. The women behind the counter was pleasant and even made a joke about me reminding her to take out her patties from the oven. I also ordered a chocolate and carrot cake, amongst their wide variety of dessert options. They have an extensive menu, which I plan to come back and try. Give this place a shot!

    Ok so my bf raved about this place saying it was good and a lot of people get this food when he does door dash. We came him early evening on a rainy Friday. The place was little and empty. I went up to the counter and told the lady we were eating in. She told us to place our order when where ready without giving me a menu. Cool, I just grabbed one from the side. The tables where covered with while paper which was not the cleanest either. We ordered a medium and large bbq jerchicken, one with white rice and white meat, the other with rice and peas. As I went to order the lady yelled "eh eh, mi forget her name enuh, whe yuh want". In my mind im like "okkkkkay". I told her the order and added a side of mac and cheese and yams. I grabbed a ting (grape fruit soda) and a tropical rhythm reggae medley drink. It took about 25 min for the food to come out that was not even hot. I am well aware that Caribbean food takes a while to prepare, but it could at least been hot. O asked my bf to get me some scotch bonnet hot sauce. There were various types of hot sauces, but most where empty. When he asked the lady if they had anymore, she stated "we nuh have dat". I just told him forget it. I can understand not having 1 hot sauce but most where empty so i could tell they dont check their supply. Anywho, the food was ok. The chicken was good but not how and the cabbage was crunch when i prefer it well cooked. The mac and cheese had no flavor as well so i had to mix it with the yams. All in all we spent around $40, which was not bad. Reason for the 3 stars is soley the food. I like to try different Caribbean establishments because not many know im from the islands, so i know how food should taste. Also I never expect good service from a Jamaican restaurant because Jamaicans are not that pleasant. ( i know because i am one). All in all i would only order out and nor dine in, but id rather cook my own food to be honest.

    I can't believe it.... the food is trash now! They must have switched chefs because at this point, it's not Jamaican. Cabbage tastes like vinegar and the fried chicken looks and tastes so disappointing . Sad sad shame

    Mr. James ..

    Pretty mediocre as carribean cousine goes... my wife called in her order at 4:39 pm, was told 10 minutes. We arrived and after 5 minutes they began making the order, 5 minutes later informed us there was no cabbage. Our food was ready at 5:15pm. I ordered the Jerk Chicken. Terrible. No skin, not grilled under seasoned and taken fresh out of the fridge. It was bone cold and tragic. Also, the seasoning wasn't really a jerk seasoning. There was a mild peper and tyme, but no pimento or scotch bonnet pepper flavor. The mac and cheese was good, but they dropped a cold chicken chunk in the 2nd side space. Their entrees also only come with one side by the way. It was so bad I could no finish it.

    Excellent flavors! I first tried their beef patties about 20 years ago when I worked at the VA in…read moreEast Orange. The canteen sold them and I was instantly impressed. About 15 years later, they opened a spot just a mile from my house. At first, they had some growing pains so I ghosted for a few years. Recently, a friend told me they'd eaten there and liked it, so I figured why not?! For lunch, hubs and I shared a Spicy Beef Patty, a Curry Chicken Patty, and a Curry Goat Roti. Everything came out tasty, hot, and fresh, especially the roti, which came in a clamshell container. The roti was flaky and comforting, kind of like a Jamaican take on a chicken pot pie but with way more personality. Inside, the curry goat was ridiculously good. It had slow-cooked depth, tender meat, potatoes, and carrots and a layered sauce that tasted like turmeric, other warm spices, and a touch of smoke. It was fucking delicious! While there were a lot of bones (it's goat, after all), there was still a ton of meat and it fed me twice. This place is fast casual. You might have to wait up to twenty minutes for some dishes, but that time buys you flavor. I'm officially back on board. That curry goat roti? The real GOAT: Greatest of All Taste. ;) I'm already planning what to try next. Long live Jamaica! ONE LOVE. NOTES/TIPS: **Shared plaza parking lot with high turnover. Easy. **Wheelchair-accessible: bathroom, parking, entrance, seating area. Ramp. **On Yelp, Door Dash, GrubHub, UberEats, Seamless. **Eat-in or take out. **D&G Root Beer is a must!

    If you want Jamaican breakfast food they got it! I often want ackee and saltfish and callaloo and…read moresalt fish and plantain. And that's what you see. They also have dumpling, boiled banana and fried dumpling as well if that's what you want. I've also seen them carry okra and saltfish I believe but I'm not a fan of okra. The ackee and saltfish is amongst my favorite. Right alongside the callaloo and saltfish. They give nice size portions for the price and it's delicious. Not too salty. And it I is a little oily but not a lot. There are also small small bones in some of the pcs of saltfish as well. Overall, every chance I get to eat this from here I do! Give it a try.
