Cutter's Jamaican Restaurant - Jerk Chicken Meal Oxtail meal cornbread - Caribbean Near Me - Riverdale, Georgia

Oxtails were very good! Meaty and seasoned just like I like them. Savory not sweet. Rice/peas- were good. A little overcooked for my taste but it was good none the less. The plantains were some of the best I've experienced. They were soft in the middle but had a crispy crunchy exterior. Very good! The cabbage was seasoned well, but more crunchy than I usually like. The flavor was really good!! Overall, a good experience. It is a no frills space, with good food and the lady at the counter was nice to me as a 1st timer! Thank you for that! I tipped accordingly... I'll be back for sure. It might be my new go to spot. Stay tuned... read more

Cutter's Jamaican Restaurant - Oxtails with rice/peas (underneath), plantains, and cabbage. - Caribbean Near Me - Riverdale, Georgia

I found this place on Yelp and the reviews were pretty solid. Anything over four stars is good in my book. It's at the end of a small shopping plaza. Small, café style with probably five or six tables, but nobody was sitting down to eat. Everyone was getting their food to go plus, they seemed to be very busy with Uber and DoorDash orders. I honestly only planned on getting a patty because I like to dip my toe in before jumping all the way in. When I walked in, I asked about patties, but they told me they take about 15 minutes. I asked how long the brown stew chicken would take, and the woman working said it would be much quicker than the patties, so I went for it. One thing I will say right away is that the meals are very inexpensive, which is always a plus. Now... the one thing that made me pause was the 89 health score posted. My mind immediately started racing...what exactly are they not doing? Handwashing? Food storage? Something else? I decided to still give them a try and just pray over my food. I really hope they're able to get that score up because nobody likes the idea of a questionable kitchen preparing their meal. I digress.... The food ended up taking about the same amount of time as the patties, which was a little disappointing because I was hoping for something quick. When she said the brown stew chicken would be faster, I assumed it might come out in 5-10 minutes since I figured it might already be prepared. Anyway as far as the food.... I ordered a small brown stew chicken. It was really good. It had a light, unexpected sweetness that I actually liked. I don't mean sugary, but there was a subtle hint of sweetness in the flavor that stood out in a good way. I can't say I've had it prepared quite like that before. The plantains were exactly how I like them; soft, tender, and sweet instead of hard and rubbery. They slice them in that thicker style that keeps them plump. It's hard to describe, but you can see it in the photo. I definitely prefer that cut versus the super thin plantain slices that end up more like chips. The cabbage also had a nice crunch, and the portions were reasonable. For instance, most of the time you only get 2 plantains with your meal but they gave between 4-5 hefty pieces. Also, I usually have to ask for extra sauce on my rice and peas, but it was well sauced without me having to ask. Overall the meal was good. My only lingering concern is still that health score which is the reason I gave a 3 instead of a 5! In the several years that they have been open, it seems to linger in the 80s: I really hope they get it together, because my food itself was solid. read more

Cutter's Jamaican Restaurant - Brown Stew Chicken 10oz (only) - Caribbean Near Me - Riverdale, Georgia

Have had two meals from Cutter's Riverdale Since I'm writing this review late: 2 visits both were take-out. pictures of both meals. 1st visit was oxtails, cabbage, yams and collards. November 2024 2nd visit was oxtail pasta. March 2025. it was yummy. I'm planning to visit soon before the holidays since I'm craving the oxtail pasta. While driving (aimlessly) this week I passed by a location in McDonough. While pricey, the food especially the pasta was worth the $. glad it wasn't my money I was spending. lol. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to getting more food. posting 11/16/2025 read more

Cutter's Jamaican Restaurant - 03/29/2025 Oxtail Pasta - Caribbean Near Me - Riverdale, Georgia

Today I woke up with the taste for some oxtails, so of course I headed to Cutters. Upon walking in, there were a lot more people in there than the last time I visited. Many were sitting down enjoying their meals. You could smell each plate of whatever the person was eating, just by walking by lol. I ordered the oxtails with rice and peas, but this time subbing the cabbage (which was super spicy last time) for candied yams. I also got my plantain, beef pattie, and coco bread. Oh and can't forget the cream soda, I actually got two this time lol. I probably waited about 15-17mins for my food, but I surely didn't mind. I definitely sped all the way home ready to dig in. I can't lie, I was somewhat skeptical of the yams, because I've never had theirs before. Buuuut BABY, let me tell you those things are so good!!! They put the candy in candied yams, so you hear me? Those bad boys were caramelized to perfection with the right amount of tenderness and sweetness. The oxtails were very good as well!! Let's just say I'm over here doing my happy dance that I do when I get good food. I'll definitely be back again and again!!! Sorry for a pic of eaten food, I had forgotten to take it before I dug in! read more

Just ok! Unpopular opinion. This tasted more like Jamaican-inspired food than actual authentic Jamaican food. I had the curry shrimp with rice and peas, cabbage and plantain. In all fairness, everything was cooked well (the texture was on point) but the flavor was off and didn't satisfy the way I expected it would. The plantain was fried well, perfectly soft with a slight crispy edge. The cabbage was soft enough but still firm. The rice was a good balance of fluffy but not much, but was missing not only the authentic flavor but also no allspice, thyme, coconut cream nor scotch bonnet was detected by my eyes or taste buds. Those are essential ingredients. Don't expect it to taste like your mummy's yard in Portmore or Lauderhill. read more

Cutter's Jamaican Restaurant - Curry shrimp with rice and peas, cabbage and plantain - Caribbean Near Me - Riverdale, Georgia

This place never disappoints! The food is delicious, plentiful and a great price for the portions you get. We're in the middle of a heat wave so the inside was hot, they do have a big fan blowing while you wait but it's still hot. The cashier was nice once you engaged her, you place your order then either sit at the tables inside while you wait or wait outside, your choice. This time I ordered 4 meals under $70 which is a great deal. Brown stewed chicken was great, the chicken was very tender. The fried chicken wings were good, fried the way I like them. The jerk chicken was amazing, don't forget to ask for the sauce that goes with it. Yummy The Curry chicken was delicious also. Sides- Mac and cheese, rice with peas with oxtail gravy and collard greens. Very very good. These meals lasted for at least 4 days for two people. Lots of food for the price. read more

Tried the Oxtails dinner this time. It didn't disappoint. Everything was hot and fresh. The oxtails meat was well seasoned and tender. Usually I have leftovers but not this time. Rice n peas was really good. Nice texture - rice wasn't too hard or soft and good flavorful. The greens was also really good. It was firm but not hard. I prefer mine not too soft and thus definitely wasn't. Service again was excellent. Greeted immediately and my order was taken. Didn't take long to receive my order although there were a few ppl in front of me. I highly recommend and look forward to trying other items. read more

love the oxtail. So many options I just wish I could try them all. Awesome flavors overall. I was super happy with my meal.

Amazing service and food was bomb! I had the Jerk chicken mild beef Pattie and coco bread. Family owned restaurant and authentic

I actually went to the McDonough location. What went well? Everything! The greeting I received when entering was so warm and inviting. The food choices for veggie lovers and the food being made to order are just part of the reason for the five star review. I ordered spinach patties and rasta pasta (no meat). The patties are not the packaged ones that many other Caribbean restaurants offer. These appear to be homemade. The rasta pasta was overflowing and absolutely amazing. I was full by the time I took the picture and you can see how much is left! I could t help but also dip my spinach patty in the sauce, so yummy. I will definitely return. read more

Cutter's may have some of the best sides I have had from a Jamaican restaurant. The service was a little shaky, but maybe its a culture thing-I'm not sure yet. The food was tasty and plentiful and the prices were pretty good. The restaurant was clean, and the food was simply done, flavorful and nice. I would definitely recommend. read more

I've now ordered from Cutter's 3 times. The food was decent but not the best I've ever had. The cabbage dish tastes a bit strange, their seasoning is not traditional. Their oxtail is too expensive and just taste okay. And their curry chicken was bland. The best thing I've tried here was their jerk chicken. read more

I am actually reviewing the Mcdonough location on Racetrack rd and not the Riverdale location. We arrived just before they opened so we waited to see what it was about and we were not disappointed. They had 10-12 orders within the first 45mins so I knew that was good. The guy at the counter was very friendly and helpful being this was our first trip in. We ordered 2 of the jerk chicken lunch plates for $8 and it comes with 3 sides. You can't get home cooked food anywhere for that much.! The Mac and cheese was my least favorite because everything else was so good. The rice and beans came with gravy and you could choose your gravy, there is oxtail, curry and regular brown gravy. I'm we got the curry and oxtail on our meals. I had to try the beef patties and those are cooked to order so give yourself an extra 20mins. It was well worth the wait. Overall we didn't have any complaints and it may be our favorite Jamaican spot now. read more

The food was steaming hot which was a good thing. The cabbage was good and seasoned...the greens didn't taste fresh and I personally like for curry to be saucy...it was dry which was really disappointing because I've been wanting to eat here for almost a year. I'm so sad because I should've had fast food instead. read more

The manger was helpful and delivered great customer service. I got there at a great time because as I walked out, there was a line forming. I ordered the jerk chicken and shrimp pasta and it was good. Creamy and full of bold flavor. It tasted more smoked than jerk to me but nonetheless it tasted good. read more

Imagine the disappointment of something that had so much potential for 5 stars that had to get one star because I spent over $40 on old chicken prepared 2 different ways. Not only was the fried chicken fried in old grease the meat itself was likely meat from days ago. Also, got brown stewed chicken that was tough to the chew and old as well. Fries were not fried yet soggy and tasteless. White rice was not fresh. I'm just bitter so let me stop here and say Cutter's please don't do this to anyone else. read more

food ,authenticity, is great and Jamaicans are blunt but the old lady at the coun is nasty and rude with her attitude- the customer isn't your enemy we are trying to give you money and the prices ain't cheap . They have a poor website, mailbox isn't set up with no real price structure, no online ordering except 3rd party apps , and no direct contact regarding catering vs random people so you gonna get a different price each time 380 for a tray of oxtail past is ridiculous, 160 for a tray for f brown stew chicken and collarda90 dollars a tray is crazy. I got yell at When I had to leave work to see if I could get trays order and prices cause no one answered the phone - I always answer the phone and she said I don't call her - flipped my phone over to show her the number - same as on the was inste of I apologized I missed your call , lunch rush I was basically called a liar cause someone didn't know how to answer the phone and mange calls and orders , Well they don't have to worry about me - They will never worry about me patronizing them again read more

It's a gem for Riverdale honestly . I ordered on door dash. This is best JAMAICAN I have had in clay co . I ordered curry chicken 7/10 , rice peas 8/0 , cabbage 7/10 , Mac n cheese ( I wasn't a big fan of it was dry and my least fav side , collard greens ( they were good and seasoned ) , fried chicken wings ( absolutely bomb and fried hard ) ..10/10 I would order these again . Overall I have high expectation for Caribbean food and this was good !!! read more

Great Jamaican food! I love their jerk chicken plate. I usually get cabbage, rice and gravy and candy yams. This plate usually last a couple of meals and it's flavorful. The service is warm and ambiance is cultured. I've been here 3-4 times read more

This restaurant was recommended to me. I pulled up around 6:30pm but there was no lighting in the sign which made it look like it was closed. Thankfully, it wasn't! Meals come with 3 sides. We tried the ox tail and curry chicken meals. The ox tails had a lot of meat on the bones, and the curry chicken was tender and well seasoned. The cabbage was very good and the rice and peas were perfect. This restaurant easily has some of the best Jamaican food in the Metro area. If you're ever in Riverdale, PLEASE make sure you grab something from Cutter's. read more

What a great find! This is in the same complex as the Seafood Cafe right where the Chat and Chew used to be. I was driving by and realized The Chat and Chew was no more and in its place was a sign for Jamaican food. I stopped in only for a Chicken Patty and the menu convinced me into some Jerk Chicken! The prices are great and the portion sizes were really comparable. The food and patties were cooked to order and everything tasted so good and fresh. They opened a few weeks ago and right now some of the stuff on their menu isn't available as of yet but there's plenty of options to try out in the meantime. I will definitely be back to try more stuff on the menu! read more

I have been on the hunt for good Jamaican since moving back two years ago, but have not had luck. I came across here on Uber Eats and was excited to try based on the high ratings there, Google, and here! When my food arrived, I was immediately frustrated seeing a side of Mac (lacked flavor) when cabbage was ordered. I then tried the rice & peas (dry), jerk sauce for the chicken tasted like BBQ, and chicken patty was not as flavorful as I have had from others. Talk about disappointment :( I gave two stars as the Sorrel Ginger drink and plantain were good. read more
