Authentic and amazing! Ox tail was tender and full of flavor and the jerk chicken was crazy good! The service was incredible, everyone was so friendly. When the lovely lady working the register said "see you tomorrow" I knew I made the right choice, and she was right, she will see me tomorrow! Highly recommend Went back for night 2..... everything is amazing... curry goat and snapper were phenomenal

I wrote a POSITIVE review concerning this restaurant on Google in June of this year. I just read the owner's response to my review. The owner's response proved me correct concerning the staff not being "engaging" and lacking good customer service. The owner's response, which I've attached, demonstrated that the young lady who took my order was a product of her environment. The vast majority of my review was actually in favor of the restaurant, and in my review, I recommended that people go there because the food is good. The owner's response to my review gave me pause because he/she felt I needed therapy because the customer service wasn't good. By the way, I was the ONLY person at the counter, and no one else was behind me. There was no line. When you speak to a person, and they don't speak back, and they're trying to take your order while texting on their phone simultaneously, it isn't good customer service, but the owner felt I needed a therapist. If I were that business owner and read that review, I would've apologized to the customer and spoken with my staff about the importance of representing the business well. After all, it's the customers who are responsible for you staying in business. It's just unacceptable. While I gave this restaurant on Google 4 stars, I gave it 1 star here because of the owner's response. How could you be rude on a review that COMPLIMENTED your business and recommended viewers go there? Make that make sense. It's obvious I've been to every location their establishment has leased and only gave my observation per the owner's comment about their parking lot having more spaces at the new location. I will never go back there, and I do my best to support black-owned businesses because it's a little harder for our people to prosper in business, but I will never return to this establishment.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The menu was flashing on the board so fast we couldn't really read it. Then the music was up loud. I got ackee and saltfish, it was extra oily I didn't taste any saltfish. I also got callaloo, it was okay. My sister got fried chicken wings and chicken tenders. The fried chicken and tenders were cooked fresh. The fried chicken doesn't taste the way it smells. I asked for pineapple juice and they tried to give me pineapple soda, it is not the same. The chicken tenders were very good, from what they said. I personally have a stomachache from the oily ackee and callaloo, not a fun night smh.

Amazing Food,Everytime.Kay Is Always So Nice And The Food Is Amazing.Authentic Jamaican Food That is The Best In North Carolina.Nice Radiant Lounge And Great Vibes.

My 1st time trying Caribbean food and boyyyy was I blown away! It was delicious!! Flavors were very rich and portion sizes were generous. My husband had the jerk wings and I enjoyed the ox tails. Every piece of meat was fall of the bone and tender. I highly recommend sharing! Just a heads up though- if you are shy to spice, the jerk wings DO have a kick. Strange to say but... the plantains were my favorite part of the meal. Everything was wonderful but those plantains were cooked to PERFECTION. You can't really get that anywhere else. Pair the savory goodness of Caribbean chicken with a can of mango drink and you are set for a beautiful date night. We will definitely be back. :)

In Rocky Mount for basketball (I mean who comes here for anything else) and this spot was recommended by a friend. It was walkable from the gym so we made our way over. We ordered at the bar/counter. The woman taking our order was patient and answered our questions and even made some suggestions. We sat and waited for our food. The music was LOUD but great. No frills restaurant and bar area but was clean and had an island vibe. Our food took a bit but the friendly chef/owner came out and confirmed our order and assured us it would be out shortly. A few moments later white styrofoam to go boxes came out overflowing with piping hot mounds of food! We tried the following: Curry chicken patty: So good. Flakey crust full of well seasoned curry chicken. A combo shrimp platter with both curry and jerk shrimp. The BOMB! Included well seasoned peppers, onions and carrots over peas and rice and cabbage. Oh and a side of perfectly cooked plantains too! Mouth watering and sooooo much food! Curry chicken platter with rice and peas and Mac n cheese. Another hit. Flavorful and tender fall off the bone chicken. Just the right amount of heat too. Hot gooey Mac was great too! Jerk chicken platter with rice and peas and Mac n cheese. Another hit! Spicy tender fall of the bone chicken loaded with flavor and a nice compliment to the rice and peas and Mac. Great service and even better food! If you are in the area go... and even if you are not in the area it is worth the drive! We will be back!

Hubby and I went to DChill Spot for some oxtails. This was our first visit to this Jamaican restuarant... Portions were really good and the seasoning just right! We enjoyed the chill vibe with the gentleman behind the bar. We had a pleasant chat while we waited on our meal to go. Based on the customers that came in after us, you could tell that they were regulars because the manager already knew their favorites. I though that was so cool! Great customer service and great food goes a long way in my book so we'll be back.

Haven't had authentic Jamaican food since living in NC. Food was well prepared, seasoned, and succulent. The establishment had great parking and ambiance! Will definitely return!

Great little place. All of the staff and I believe the owner assisted us at the counter were very friendly. There was a small line at the counter where we ordered but it went quick with a short wait for the hot food to be ready. We all got something different, please see pics. The only mild disappointment I had was on the flavor of the oxtail. I feel it lacked a bit compared the Jamaican place in Winston Salem. The jerk wings on the other hand were delicious and full of great flavor. Definitely a place to stop by and enjoy great food and friendly people.

So good! My son and I were just traveling through Rocky Mount and decided to try D Chill Spot. Uh Wow! The place has the chill vibe the name suggests and the owners were very welcoming. The food is insanely good. We got the jerk chicken and oxtail platters to take back to the hotel. If we ever travel back this way we will definitely be back.

The front door was very inviting. Loved the color.

The food was delicious beyond belief. Very fresh with authentic flavors. The service was excellent. Very attentive but not in the way. The ambiance was just right. Nice island music playing in the back ground while we enjoyed our meal made it an amazing dining experience. If you're anywhere near Rocky Mount this is a must stop!!!

Monet M.

I was in the mood for some good oxtails and these surely hit the spot. Visiting Rocky mt for a few days and while there's not too many good looking good choices on yelp/Google, D Chill Spot reviews seemed good and consistent. Nice chill vibe restaurant with friendly staff. I visited on 2/3/23 and ordered large oxtails to go($24)and a drink while i waited. I waited at the bar and everyone from FOH & BOH employees humbly greeted me. Nice feels. Food was amazing and still hot by the time i got back to my hotel. It's fresh for sure. Would recommend this place if your in the mood for Caribbean food.

On the Drive from OBX to Durham and needed to stop for dinner. We try to seek out something local when we can and we're not disappointed at all by D Chill Spot. The vibes were very chill and the staff was kind. The menu is simple but the things they do, they do SO WELL! My brother and and mom both loved the jerk chicken sandwich, and they have very different preferences. I got the oxtail and got every bite off of the bone I could get. The flavors are warm and comforting. Simple and well done. Also, if you don't get a sandwich, still get a side of cocoa bread. It tastes amazing. read more

Were we in Rocky Mount participating in a basketball tournament from Raleigh, NC. I am originally from the Caribbean and grew up in New York City, so I am very familiar with Jamaican food. The food was very good, however, be prepared to be served a very healthy dose of rudeness with your meal. To clarify, the women who took our order, and I can only presume is the proprietor, was frankly offensively impolite and ill-mannered. Since my family was excited to try the food, which was good, I strongly considered simply leaving even after we paid! The ladies that brought out our food were pleasant, professional and courteous, which should be the norm when running a business! Caveat Emptor... read more

Visited this restaurant yesterday and ordered takeout. The jerk chicken was extremely too spicy to the point it was not edible. The oxtails was good but pricey (to be expected)...but more than other Jamaican restaurants charge. Customer service was lacking. The lady taking orders was not rude but was not welcoming at all. I don't think I will return. I can get the same meals a little cheaper at the Jamaican restaurant around the corner. read more

Their rating at the time of my visit was 100, was a huge positive point. I don't see that a lot in this area. The server had me to actually check my food for accuracy and satisfaction before leaving. I was impressed by the thoroughness. I enjoyed the ambiance while waiting. It wasn't too much. Just right. I'll be visiting again for dinner. Thank for such a nice experience. read more

First visit. I got wings, stewed fish and a veggie plate (rice and peas, cabbage and fried plantain). The food was very authentic, seasoned by someone who understood what they were doing. But, most important, everything was extremely fresh, which is the bottom line for me. My wife and I tend to be quite critical, so I was so happy I gave it a try. We love Chinese food, but this was a much more pleasant alternative -- rice, spice and scrumptious veggies. I also had a chance to meet the owner, who was affable and extremely accommodating. What a brave soul to invest in this up-and-coming neighborhood. I urge everyone to give this restaurant a try. There have been several other businesses at this location, so don't be wary about wandering in. D Chill Spot deserves not only to survive but to prosper!

The meat was 3 pcs with loads of fat as you can see (thought it was dumplings ) and about 7 SUPER SUPER SUPER tiny pcs. Honestly it was very reminiscent of Golden Corrals roast flavor, look, and smell. OMG this plate is definitely a $15 option being that you're barely giving the customer anything. I will gladly pay $30 for an oxtail plate as money is not the issue but quality is what we're missing here. So let me start with I called to place a pickup order and 2 people answered. I was told to just come in it only takes 3min. I arrived and waited a hot 10. Also it was dark and very uninviting which was kind of weird. Customer service was not huge and iykyk fine. I ordered and added a beef patty of which I was told was mild. It was spicy which was ok because that's what I wanted that actually tasted fine. The sides were not tasty at all I do not trust to try any other options because this is the test for most Caribbean restaurants. In my book I'm putting a Gordon R sticker by this place as it's TOAST. Try at your own risk which is what I did but the people have spoken and for a huge first I agree with them!!!

The oxtail were big meaty peices with a rich, but not overpowering jamaican brown sauce. Sides were also on point, very home-made mac and cheese and rice and peas smoothed out the very flavorful jamaican flavors. This is a to go spot. Call ahead to be sure they are open and bring cash.

The toppings were not very plentiful or have much flavor. Plus they had run out of mushrooms. The woman who took our order did not drink beer so she had no recommendations.

The black art and jazz music added to the vibrant atmosphere. The bar was snazzy and stylish, a nice spot where you just want to sit and relaxed awhile.

His wife Yalem is beautiful and brought us to our table. We would highly recommend to anyone! I'm going to have to come back because they sold out of the peach crisp :(

*update May 17, 2026…read more The local manager reached out and I'm impressed. No excuses, but an apology and they are sending a gift card. Here's what I value--old school customer service--I will try them again when we travel that way because they reached out to do the right thing. I'm hopeful and will give them another try. The folks there were frantically trying to fill orders and I'll give them credit. However, when we picked up our order (it wasn't ready on time), it was wrong, awful quality and ended up being inedible. The pulled pork lacked flavor, the portions of the sides was small and the Brunswick Stew was nasty. And I love Brunswick Stew. The pecan pie was some kind of gross blob of gel that tastes nothing like pecan pie. I'm so utterly disappointed. For context, we'd been traveling all day and just wanted some comfort food in our bellies and rest up for the rest of our trip. Such a bummer.
