    Oxtail, white rice, cabbage
    Tasia

    I got the oxtail. My husband got the curry chicken. We rate both a 9.5/10. We also got a chicken patty and plantain, All delicious. The cashier was a very sweet lady. I have no complaints and will be returning. It's the best Caribbean in the area I've tried them all and they all suck compared to this place. I usually have to go to PG or DC but now I don't !

    CURRY CHICKEN DINNER w/ Extra Gravy

    Cool Runnings Eatery is my favorite Jamaican restaurant in the area. The food is consistently Hot and Flavorful. Their Curry Goat and Jerk Chicken with a Coco Bread

    Curry Goat with cabbage and rice and peas. It was so flavorful! Best I've had in Charles County!
    Kareem C.

    I've been on the hunt for some official curry goat since I moved to Waldorf 5 years ago. The closest place that i had found was Sapodillas in Ft Washington MD..any other place I've tried in Charles county had not hit the mark....Well, I think I've found a winner! COOOOOL RUNNINGS!! The staff was really friendly (despite some reviews that I read). The lady at the front (which I think was the owner) greeted me very kindly and promptly took my order. The portions were plentiful, and the taste was incredible. Just the right amount of curry flavor and spice. The rice and peas were seasoned, and the cabbage was seasoned perfectly. Had to call the store to thank them for such an incredible meal. I've been back 3 times since then, and everything (service/food) has stayed the same. Salute Cool Runnings... you have a satisfied customer! Keep pushing!!

    The owner/chef was very nice and welcoming. It was my first time and the food was hot when I got there! I ordered ahead due to the food being cooked to order. I also had a rum punch which was great also. I will be back!

    If I could leave zero stars, I would I really wanted to support this place and I love supporting my community. I had an amazing experience at her daughter's restaurant in Baltimore. kitchen klassifieds Café. so she referred me to come and try her mom's restaurant that was closer to me upon showing up to the restaurant where the door said they close at 10 o'clock and the light was on. I showed up around 8:40 to a rude young lady whoI find out later was owners daughter saying that we're closed and we're not taking any more orders, but the door clearly said 10 and the website says 9 I even tried to call ahead of time because I was coming from 30 minutes away and when I said something about it, not even being a 9 o'clock, she turned off the sign and continue to close up . If one thing I will tell the owner is to get your daughter out of your business fast and in a hurry, family will bring your business down because she truly doesn't care about professionalism..

    Brown stew chicken with rice & peas, cabbage and plantain.
    Patricia R.

    Food is consistently delicious, so hearty, filling and feels home cooked. I've been eating here a couple years and have never had a bad experience with food, the quality or taste. 10/10 I highly recommend for great Jamaican food and the owner Ms. Angela is a gem. Thank you for bringing authentic Jamaican food to the area.

    Oxtails and cabbage
    Linda W.

    Delicious, authentic, YUM! Come through to Cool Runnings and enjoy some good eats. I enjoyed the oxtails and the brown stew chicken. The desserts are good too.

    Jerk Chicken
    Kizzy B.

    The food was really good and the jerk spice level was perfect. We also ordered plantains and a beef patty and they were tasty as well. I'll definitely return to try some of the other items on the menu.

    This spot is located inside the Capital Clubhouse, which might seem like an unexpected location,…read morebut it definitely adds to the charm. While I'm not sure about their exact hours, we visited on a Saturday, and one of the staff members arrived around 11 a.m. to turn on the "Open" sign. The iced sorrel tea was a highlight--absolutely delicious with warm, rich spice flavors. I'm sure it would be just as good served warm too. The plantains were tasty, though not the best I've had. They were a bit on the dry side, and I tend to prefer mine on the sweeter end, but the portion was generous and satisfying. I tried coco bread for the first time, and while I can't compare it to others, it was really enjoyable--soft and slightly sweet. My son ordered the jerk chicken wrap, and he really liked it. He mentioned that it had a nice level of spice, and the wrap was well-filled, making for a hearty meal. I was a bit hesitant about the fish sandwich, as the fish of the day was whiting, but the owner/chef assured me it would be good. I gave it a try, and I was pleasantly surprised! The fish was flavorful, served on coco bread, and had more spice than I anticipated--definitely a treat. All in all, I'd definitely come back! The owner was incredibly friendly and provided excellent customer service, making the experience even better.

    I was in the area this past weekend to pick up a Desk from Scandinavian furniture and looked at…read moreYelp and this place was well recommended. At first we drove in circles because the accress in google maps is incorrect. When we got to the Restaurant, we were surprised as it is in an office building. Do not let the looks fool you or drive you away, you are in for a treat. WE wanted Brisket, but they were sold out. So, I ordered The ribs and whiting and had mac and cheese and green beans as sides. My wife had Chicken and Ribs with Yams and Collard Greens as sides. In my opinion as a cook, ribs should be edible without sauce. The sauce is a bonus and if the ribs are not seasoned right, the sause will maskl or enhance their flavor. These ribs were AMAZING!. Smoky, juicy, and tasty. I did not touch the sauce. The whiting was also great, well seasoned and not overcooked. I sampled some of chicken my wife ordered and it too was very good. The mac and cheese was ok and the green beans were ok. I also had the Collards and they were excellent. This is a Hidden gem and I might drive the 70 Miles to try the Brisket, if it was sold out early in the afternoon, then it must really be good. This is not a sit down restaurant but they do have a counter with 4 seats, where you can sit and eat. Do not miss out!
