I ordered lunch on a weekday. It took about 20 minutes and the restaurant was pretty empty when I walked into to pick up my order. The gentleman and the cook in the back were very friendly. And the oxtails...LORD they were soooo good!! The flavor, the tenderness just 10/10. It's that good that I didn't want to finish eating it! I plan to go back and try their jerk chicken and beef patties. These are probably the best oxtails I have had in this area. read more

D&D Caribbean Kitchen - Oxtail - Caribbean Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

Finally made my way to D&D Caribbean Restaurant and the food was SO good. Like, OMG good. I ordered the brown stew chicken with a side of oxtail and cabbage (no rice for me). When I tell you that oxtail was falling off the bone? 10/10. The brown stew chicken was flavorful, tender, and cooked just right. The cabbage was seasoned perfectly, not soggy, not bland. Everything on that plate hit. No complaints about the food whatsoever. The space itself is small, clean, and minimally decorated. Nothing fancy, but very well-kept, and I appreciate that. Service was good. The owner personally took care of me and accommodated my request to swap out the rice for extra cabbage with no issue. I always appreciate when owners are hands-on and attentive. Now for the hiccup: the credit card machine wasn't working, so I had to pay via Cash App. Not ideal, but okay. What almost took me out was the attempt to add a service charge. I definitely spoke up because that extra $1? Yeah... it was about the principle. Sheesh. Overall, the positives outweighed the minor inconvenience. The food alone would have me coming back. And for me, that says a lot. read more

Food came out in reasonable time while still piping hot. The rice was delicious and the jerk chicken was sweet but still had some spice to it. Oxtails were meaty but a little tough still enjoyed it though. A nice small restaurant with booths and high tables and chairs so many seating options. Customer service from the guy taking our order was very kind and friendly. read more

D&D Caribbean Kitchen - Oxtails - Caribbean Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

D&D is good! I was in the area and seriously craving Caribbean food. I pulled up trusty yelp, and up pops our current community manager Andrew's raving review...so it was on! I quickly parked and walked in to place order. Btw-parking is plentiful due to restaurant being located in a small strip mall. The place is a decent size and neatly decorated, with an order counter in the back. I picked up a combo curry chicken and brown stew chicken with rice and peas, and cabbage. And an oxtail meal that also comes with rice and peas, and cabbage. Both were pretty tasty..after sampling both. And their beef pies are really good. They make filling and bake the crust in house (but outsource the dough), which makes a difference in the quality of the patty. The owner was really nice and professional, and packaged up my order very nicely. Highly recommend this place!! read more

It's Jamaican. In case you thought... lol never mind. D&D has always been a solid choice for GOOD EATING. The jerk is bomb and not so salty or spicy that I can't add my home pepper sauce. The rice and peas are perfectly cooked, not too hard, not mushy and the just right amount of coconut milk. We love their stew chicken. Almost as good as mine lol! If it wasn't all the way in Beltsville we'd definitely be there more. read more

A True Gem in the DMV! If you're in the Beltsville area or surrounding area and craving authentic Jamaican food, this spot is a must-visit. The curry chicken is absolutely delicious--tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with just the right kick. You can tell it's made with love and tradition. Also, the rice and peas, along with the cabbage, were absolutely divine. The owners are a lovely couple--warm, welcoming, and proud of their food. It's always a great experience when the hospitality matches the quality of the meal. Don't leave without trying the patties! Both the chicken and beef patties are flaky, buttery, and packed with rich, savory filling. Highly recommend if you're looking for real Jamaican comfort food that hits the spot! I forgot to mention, the plantains were the best that I've had in a very long time...sweet and yummy. You...must...try this restaurant. read more

The inside is spacious, but only about 4 tables. There was no one inside, so we were able to eat in. Service was friendly. We tried: Jerk wings (not pictured) - ok, more sweet than spicy. Brown stewed chicken - kinda tasted like bbq chicken. Not bad, just not the taste I was expecting Curry chicken - good. Would have liked more sauce though Rice & peas - fabulous Cabbage - simply lovely. Only downside is the peas in it. I despise peas. Overall, it wasn't bad. I wouldn't go back simply because I don't live close and I've had better at closer spots. Overall, this isn't a bad place. read more

D&D Caribbean Kitchen - Brown Stewed Chicken, Curry Chicken, Rice and Peas, Cabbage - Caribbean Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

Awhile back one of my Yelp compatriots suggested I try this place and sadly it took awhile for me to make it there. But, today the hubby and I stopped by to have lunch and we both give it an enthusiastic thumbs up. I ordered curry goat because, um, I am me. My husband ordered curry chicken. We each got a very generous portion loaded with meat atop rice & peas, with a cabbage vegetable medley and a couple slices of plantain. Everything was very good, which is a relief since this portion is about 4 meals worth for my appetite. I think I like the veggies here the best of the veggies at the other Caribbean restaurants in the area. The curry goat was on point, good flavor, though not quite as spicy as I am used to. It does still have some heat though. And did I mention how much meat they gave me, it wasn't all bones or skin. Lots of delicious curry to seep into the rice & peas. The plantains aren't candied or super soft, but they add a teeny bit of sweet to the mix. Prices would seem on the high side if I weren't going to get several meals out of it. The card prices were a couple percent more than the cash prices; curry goat 26 instead of 25 etc. so if you carry cash use it here. It isn't a place for ambience; even ordering dine in it comes in the takeout box, but that is fine because we knew we would take most of it home and we didn't come for date night. Food was ready in about 10 minutes plus or minus. All in all a solid choice especially if you don't want it super spicy. read more

Y'all! Listen! I've finally found some GOOD Jamaican food . Y'all don't understand how happy I am! This place is a small carry out (we ate in-4 tables) but there is nothing small about the food! We got the curry chicken and whew! The curry chicken meal comes with plantains, rice and cabbage. The curry chicken was very tender, fall off the bone, with a hint of spice *chefs kiss* the rice was good and so was the cabbage. The only thing I would suggest would be to cook the cabbage just a little more and give me MORE cabbage lol No but all in all definitely a 10/10! The parking lot has plenty of parking, they have a bathroom and 4 tables if you want to eat inside. Also I met the owner, Hewston, and he's great also! read more

Oh. If you are in Beltsville and craving Jamaican food, this is a MUST HAVE. It's a tiny sign outside, and there are some lights in the window that catch your eye for sure. Once you go inside, it's quite open, spacious. There's only one or two tables on each side, so seating is quite limited. If it isn't crowded you can definitely hang out in there. It's nice and chill. I saw a menu on the counter and looked through the options... they have the typical meats and seafoods in platters, and you could get a combo of any two for a few more dollars. The upbeat woman behind the counter told my friend and I to take our time and let her know when we were ready. I decided to get both jerk chicken and curry chicken -- kill two birds with one stone. It took about 10-15 minutes and we grabbed a seat. Y'all, they did the thing... before giving the food to us, they OPENED THE TRAY AND SHOWED IT TO US. Only my most favorite places so far have done that. Did I mention it was steaming? Y'all, I'm talking PIPING hot. SHEESH. We decided to eat there since it was quiet... and... we both were VERY happy. The rice & peas had a hint of coconut to it, and the jerk & curry chickens were both flavorful and delicious -- great texture, not too spicy, all that. Steamed cabbage and plantain were winners as well! As we ate, I had said it'd be nice if they had some music going... and about 10 minutes later that very thing happened... the vybez were truly present. All this to say, I'm eager to bring my parents here and I cannot wait to try other things on the menu! Sorry I'm late to the train! I just may have a new top 3 list now :). read more

A great place to get delicious, genuine Caribbean food! Ambiance: This sits in a small strip mall so it shares it's parking lot with a few other places but there is plenty of parking. The restaurant only has a few benches on either side of it so I would not recommend bringing a huge party in. They also do carryout though so that is another option. At first they didn't have any music on and it was pretty quiet but around 4-5 PM the music was turned on and the mood was set! Service: The service was amazing. The lady who served us was extremely nice and thoughtful. She even showed us the food before giving it to us in the end and that was just the beginning of our adventure. Food was cooked fresh so it took about 15 minutes or so. Food: Now for the most important part. The taste of the food. The food was cooked fresh and was piping hot when it was given to us. Everything was flavorful from the jerk wings to the beans and rice. The plantains were on point as well. I even got to taste a little of the curry chicken and the flavoring was also spot on. There is nothing to complain about. They also serve desserts which may be worth a try next time. The portions you get for the pricing is spot on I think. Overall: Nothing to complain about here and I will definitely be back for the curry chicken! read more

Craving some Jamaican oxtails dinner and decided to give this new restaurant in Laurel a try. I was warmly greeted by one of the owners Miss Deb. Her warm bubbly personality is exactly as other Yelp reviews said. It's refreshing to finally get a warm welcome and shown appreciation for my business at a Jamaican restaurant. I ordered the oxtail dinner with rice n peas, plantains, and no gravy as I'm not a fan of gravy on my food. I wasn't in the mood for cabbage vegetables that evening. Let me first just say that Oxtails is my all time favorite Jamaican dish and I well know how it should taste. Theirs was on pint and hands down the BEST I've had in the all the DMV restaurants I've tried. FINALLY, someone who does it right. Thank you! The oxtails were well seasoned, flavorful, and soft falling off the bone. The rice n peas was also soft and flavorful. It certainly hit the spot, satisfied my craving. I look forward to going back and trying their other food options. I recommend you give them a try as well. Support local businesses. read more

D&D Caribbean Kitchen - Rice and peas, vegetables, Curry chicken and brown stewed chicken, and festival bread - Caribbean Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

I ordered the wing dinner and after placing my order and waiting a few min, not long, the cashier came and said someone bought out the wings and asked if I minded regular jerk chicken because the price was the same. I was ok with that. The food was piping hot which I appreciated. I drove to IKEA before eating and it was still steaming hot. I didn't like the texture of the rice AT ALL. It was sticky/stiff and flavorless. The cabbage was decent could have a tad more flavor but decent. The chicken was basically baked chicken. It wasn't bad but it also wasn't bursting with flavor or spicy and didn't have a grilled flavor. Just tasted like regular baked chicken with store bought big box jerk seasoning sprinkled on. For $22 after tax I had high expectations because that's high compared to my usual Just Jerk or Tropicana who always hit. I wasn't satisfied with this and would not be back. read more

I got the jerk chicken - I read the description on the menu and the word succulent to describe the chicken was right. The chicken was flavorful and fell off the bone. The sweet, caramelized plantain was equally as good and complimented the chicken as did the rice. I spent the first 5 minutes of my meal nodding, in agreement that this was a really good meal. I also couldn't forget to get the Jamaican beef patty. Which was flaky and delicious. And like everyone else said, the customer service was excellent. read more

This is a new Carribean restaurant that has most Jamaican fare. They are fairly new, and the place is very clean with limited seating I was in the mood for ox tail. A lot of places that have it on their menu fail because it's old, or under seasoned. I suggest paying extra $10 for more meat. My sides were stew peas (pigeon peas) and cabbage medley. Rice definitely wow me, fresh rice that was seasoned very well. They give you a heavy portion, so you definitely have a lot for leftovers. Cabbage stew, shredded very nice. Many places have huge chards of Cabbage with no seasonings. Not here. You definitely wanna get some coco bread, $3. Definitely get that. Definitely get some pineapple ginger beer. Definitely get the chicken patty. Good service from Ms. Debbie. Place is far, but worth the drive. read more

Irie, mon! I had been jonesing for some jerk chicken since my local Caribbean place closed, so when I saw a well reviewed place, it was an easy choice. D&D is in a small shopping center behind a defunct CVS. No light on the sign, so look for it. It's a couple of doors down from Myoung Dong. Jerk chicken isn't on the menu, so you have to know about it to ask. You get two pieces, deeply marinated, fork tender, and just plain delicious. Unlike some I have tried, they don't go overboard with the scotch bonnet, just enough for a little kick that doesn't overwhelm the complex spices. Sides were equally well prepared: plantains, rice with pigeon peas,and cabbage cooked just to the perfect balance of crisp and soft, and perfectly seasoned. Lots of tropical beverages in the cooler next to the counter, a couple of tables if you can't wait to get it home. I noticed "cash price" on the receipt, so I'm guessing there's a surcharge for using plastic. Best I've had that wasn't from a roadside barbacoa in MoBay. I'm looking forward to trying the oxtail. Easy 5 *****. read more

I called first before driving over, Mrs. D's customer service was so great, I had to call her after the call to let her know.

This will be where I go for Jamaican food, even though I live an hour away. The owners are very welcoming. This is food like our Grandma makes. 10 out of 10!! read more

D&D Caribbean Kitchen - Brown Stewed Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

Nice little place with a super friendly staff, good food, and a nice laid back vibe. Very clean and obviously cared for. Not a ton of seating; primary business is probably takeout but there's about four 4-tops. Food: we had oxtail, jerk chicken, and curry goat. All with rice & peas, cabbage, and plantains. You can't go wrong with the oxtail - it's tender and rich. I could have easily eaten a double meat portion but I definitely shouldn't. The jerk chicken is a half chicken; very tasty. We could have done with more heat (we love super hot food) but that's not a knock on the taste. The goat is very flavorful - if you haven't had it before think "lamb texture". Rice & peas are outstanding. Don't miss the homemade juices in the fridge. read more

D&D Caribbean Kitchen - Menu as of 19 August 2023 - Caribbean Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

Curry goat was on point. Got there as they were about to close in 15 minutes. I was able to eat inside and enjoy the warm meal.

I confess I have not tried a lot of Caribbean food and I'm not a huge rice fan. That said, I really enjoyed my meal here! We stopped by on a weekday for lunch and they seem to do a bit of carry out so not a lot of people were eating at the few tables set out. We ordered the goat curry platter and the oxtail platter. The goat curry was nicely seasoned, not spicy, very tasty. The platter came with a generous portion of rice & beans and a nice helping of this delicious cabbage side. The cabbage dish added the right touch of sweetness and acidity to the dish. It also came with a few plantains (I can't remember if I ordered the plantains or if they already came with the dish) which were yummy! The oxtail was so fall-off-the-bone tender with deep flavors that gave me hints of chocolate even if there was none. The portion was generous. It's not usual to get oxtail so I enjoyed it a lot. Nice food and very reasonable prices. The folks at the counter were very friendly and happy and proud to share the food with us. You order at the counter, also buy your beverage from cooler, and then wait at the table. They'll bring it to you. This might be different if it's during a busy time. My one suggestion: switch the protein and rice sections in the plastic container: put the rice in the smaller section next to the cabbage, and use the larger section for the protein and sauce. Your protein is the star of the dish, not the rice. And the way it is currently served, the sauce gets spilled into the rice before we can savor it.. read more

They literally gave me three oxtails!!!!!! I ordered a side of curry goat for $10 and that portion size was also laughable. The curry goat has absolutely no taste! Very under seasoned and looked like it had been sitting on the stove since this morning. I couldn't even stomach to eat it. I won't be back. read more
