Every question I had was answered with patience, professionalism, and genuine care. She took the time to understand my vision and worked with me every step of the way to bring it to life. The team is absolutely amazing! Their attention to detail, kindness, and commitment to making our event special made all the difference. The food was outstanding, my personal favorite is the oxtail, but everything we tasted was delicious. The Rum Punch is a must-try! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how flavorful the food was and how welcoming the atmosphere felt. The restaurant has a warm, family-oriented environment that makes you feel right at home. What I also love is that Ranch Caribbean Vybez isn't just a restaurant or an event venue. They host fun events throughout the week, including Thursday night karaoke, which creates a lively, welcoming atmosphere for anyone looking for a great night out with friends and family. Whether you're planning a special celebration, stopping by for an amazing meal, or looking for a fun evening of entertainment, I highly recommend Ranch Caribbean Vybez. The warm hospitality, authentic Caribbean cuisine, and inviting family atmosphere keep us coming back. Thank you for helping make my daughter's Sweet 16 a day our family will always remember!

Completely surprised by the outcome, especially as this was an Uber Eats order. I was shocked and happy by the amount of food received, which turned out to be more than enough to last a few days. The Rice and Peas were fresh in a good way. Only thing is I could've used more gravy on the rice. The Oxtails were tender and seasoned properly. Tasted a little of the Jerk Pork and they were also tender with that smoky Jerk Spice. Considering this delivery came all the way from Mount Vernon, I have to give them five stars. Will order again. Hope the consistency remains the same.

I'm a…read moreprecovid frequent dinner and take out was never really my problem thing when I frequented here because it had a certain ambiance with the service when ever I dinned in there that brought me back over and over with different people to experience. So I was so very disappointed when after Covid they continued with the only pick up service. The food quality is enough to continue yes but the vibe dining in and at the bar I truly miss. My daughters fell in love with this place because every time we walked into that dinning room there was a particular servers who KNEW US. They knew us enough to know my daughters had a favorite table (the 1st we sat at dinning there). They know us to know that my daughters had special distinction drink mocktails (one of the reasons the fell in love wit this place) that they could order even when it was no longer in the menu. This was one of those places we frequented....even if they couldn't get their special table or waiter, the quality never disappointed. During Covid we order delivery regularly because we didn't realize how much this spot because our Caribbean food must have. I can't say we ever really had tried a different meal from over favorable ones that made us say this is one thing they don't get right to us. And the rum punches and Bob Marley drinks they served during their dinning days is what got me to the pin t I had to start stopping in this joint just to have a drink and appetizers. This really used to be by spot back when they had dine in services. Over the years it's in our delivery/pickup Bronx favorite list unfortunately. I say unfortunately because now that we are back at full operational living. I har to slash the delivery/pickup weekly rituals to only situations of desperation not necessity. So this spot has only become a craving order delivery/pickup order spot. Not a I got some/gonna make some time to go enjoy a drink and some Caribbean food spot destination. Which this was my #1 default choice before Covid as I said this used to be my spot. I would take my daughters here damn there biweekly if not be there weekly myself on dates and when hanging out . Cause they people there were serious enough about customer service they would acknowledge knowing who you are and treat you as such. Hence again why my daughters loved this place as kids. *Looks right and left* a yoo when yall opening the dinning in area again cause it's been log enough now...FIX IT! lol

I remember when Fish N' Ting first opened several years ago and I'm pleased to know that this family run establishment is still kicking. I would put it in my top five list for Jamaican restaurants in the city. The menu is wide and varying and accommodating of different diets. If you love jerk chicken, you need to try it here! The jerk chicken lovers in my life can't get enough. My recommended dishes are the whiting (fried) with rice and peas, rasta pasta and now the lobster (which I didn't know they had). The seafood is made to order, fresh and super tasty. I never thought sweet chili and lobster would be a good combo but it totally rocks! It was truly delectable. My only issue is that they charge for gravy if the dish isn't saucy (as if) lol but I get it!

More about Best Choice…read more.. We have lost our patience with this place. We have been buying from them since about 2017 and through the pandemic when we started ordering for delivery. Over the last 2 years, they have started not to care about the food their customers are paying for. After receiving unsatisfactory meals (tough, stale fried dumplings, wrong orders, missing items, etc) more than once, I stopped ordering from them, but my husband continued. Last week, his cowfoot was missing the steamed vegetables, white rice and had about 3 pieces of cowfoot plus 2 bare bones. The curry chicken was missing the steamed vegetables, zero crazy and a few small pieces of chicken parts. The mac and cheese was not was not sent Disappointment sent in quickly once we realized that they had just scraped together whatever little bit of food they had left and insulted our intelligence by sending less than half-assed meals. There is no way they should have ever sent what they did to longstanding customers. They know us and are aware of our support, but still thought it was ok to do this. Just tell us if you had run out of food. Sending us scraping was DESPICABLE. We are done once and for all with this establishment.

Well not only was the pepper shrimp spicy but it was the best I've ever had. The shrimp was so big plumped and juicy. I didn't expect it to be nicely coated with such delicious flavor. My mouth is still watering as I write this review. I paid a little over $17, but it didn't bother me because it was fresh shrimp and veggies and of the amount of food I received was a lot. I mean they could have threw in a free small beverage to go along with it, but I wasn't mad, because this is NYC. I've paid higher prices for food that had less amounts and not even worth the price, but anyway I digress. The restaurant is quite small but big enough for you to stay and dine if you wanted. Along with great customer service, and delicious food a girl couldn't ask for anything more. Not to mention they were playing music to bop your head along with. I don't know if I would return for anything else on the menu right away because I would be hooked to buying the pepper shrimp again. When I get past that I would try something else. Overall, my meal was five stars but since I've only had one amazing item, and I don't know yet If it would be consistent , Im giving them four stars. I think they are worth visiting. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping!

It's a family-owned, halal establishment known for generous portions, and it has been a community staple for over 25 years. I heard about Carifesta on social media and wanted to check it out. My daughter and I drove from Connecticut to try the food. When we arrived, the staff told me there would be a 45-minute wait. No problem. We ordered the Guyanese Chicken with Lo Mein, Jerk Chicken Sliders, and the Guyanese Fried Chicken. The Guyanese Fried Chicken was very flavorful but overfried. The chicken had a bone, and as I ate, it fell apart, which told me it was overfried. Next, I tried the Chicken with Lo Mein, and the noodles were overcooked and lacked flavor. The chicken was good and tasted like baked chicken. It had good flavor, but it wasn't out of this world. My daughter had the Jerk Chicken Sliders, and she said they were okay. She said she tasted the Jerk flavor, but the chicken lacked flavor. I'm not sure if they were having an off day, but if I'm in the area, I would give them another tryout.

The employees create a vibe of poor customer service with a very unprofessional, Jamaican ghetto flavor that makes the food completely forgettable. I've visited this restaurant since it first opened in the early 2000's, and the service just continues to deteriorate each visit. The current female employees in 2025, are just plain disgusting! The servers are unnecessarily rude, purposely ignoring customers even when you're patiently waiting to order. What they fail to realize is that the Bronx has over 300+ restaurants that actually value their customers and are eager to serve them. Their attitudes are ugly, unpleasant, and downright unprofessional. As someone who genuinely tries to support small Black Caribbean businesses, the disrespect here is not worth it. I paid $32 for one meal, and the rudeness made me instantly regret spending my money. I will never return to give them another opportunity to be mean-spirited toward me for absolutely no reason. The owner needs to realize that his staff is going to ruin his restaurant's reputation and business in this tuff economy!
