This is a cozy little Caribbean spot with about 8 tables inside and a full bar. Parking in the area is limited, so be prepared for that. Their takeout business looks busy, but for the prices, I think it's worth sitting down inside, enjoying the atmosphere, and having a drink. The food took a little while to come out, but everything tasted freshly prepared. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, making sure every table was taken care of. We started with the hot lemon pepper wings and they definitely bring the heat! The lemon pepper seasoning was more sprinkled on top, so the spice really takes over. Tasty, but if you're not into spicy, these might not be for you. The standout of the night was the mini shrimp burrito appetizer which was fried shrimp, yams, and mac & cheese all rolled into a tortilla. Absolutely delicious and unique, easily my favorite dish. The oxtail quesadilla was also really good, with tender meat and plenty of flavor. For the main, we tried the fried lobster tail with yams and collard greens. The lobster portion was huge and great for sharing, but it was way too salty, and we ended up peeling off the fried batter. That's one dish I wouldn't order again. On the other hand, the collard greens were a nice surprise that it's cooked without meat, flavorful, and a little on the salty side as well but not too bad. To drink, I had a margarita, and it definitely did the job. Overall, the food was flavorful and creative, with a few standout dishes I'd absolutely come back for. A couple of items could use a little tweaking, but I left full and satisfied. read more

Oxtail Tacos Hit Different. Dacks Cuisine knows how to do food right. Their oxtail tacos are a glorious mess; rich, fall-apart meat tucked into tortillas, drowning in cheese and sauce. Pro Tip: Add in some mac & cheese and candied yams. Elite move. Service was shaky. The bartender was MIA at 3 PM, so rum punch was my only option. No complaints there. But the music? Snoh Aalegra at peak eating hours felt like a breakup playlist I didn't sign up for. Maybe it was just the early slot, but a little more energy wouldn't hurt. read more

Traveled to my hometown to try Dacks Cuisine with my family. Walked in and seated ourselves, waiter took our drinks orders a few minutes later and provided us a menu, he was very nice. We ordered our food right after, wait time was pretty long but was worth it. I ordered the Stew fish, plantains and salad. I was very good and flavorful. My Husband had the lamb chops, candied yams and mac. I really wished I preferred what he got but he was nice enough to let me try it and it was AMAZING!!! The Mac and cheese was so good, the lamb chops to soft and delicious,and last the candied yams so good. We also ordered the oxtail tacos which were so good and I really wished we ordered a second order to go. The oxtails were so soft and had my taste buds so satisfied. I def would eat here again! read more

Mannnnnnnnn... ! This place is a vibe on its own. I keep saying it the cozy spots are the best spots. We came in for the Mac and cheese and fell in love with it all. We were sat down and enjoyed karaoke night and I kid you not everything on the menu is straight up finger, licking good. It's hard for me to ever give a rating of 5 but this place took it. They earned it. Dinner and a show and you can join in regardless in the fun. The drinks strong. The music fire. The karaoke which I am not a singer fun to try I'm sure I blew some ear drums. But it was definitely fun. Bathroom 1 stall but clean what I like and respect. Now what you came for the food my god makes you wanna slap your mamma on how good it is. Not overly seasoned but just right everything we tried was amazing. The staff awesome loved the vibe and gave great recommendations and I love how chill they are and real. We had dacks run and punch and the margaritas strong and delicious. Front second guess it come in and have a great time. read more

I would probably rate this place 3.5/4. The food wasn't bad but my rice was hard. They were very busy when I got there and I suspect that's the case all day everyday. The take out space is pretty cramped also. Parking is horrible in the area so be prepared to double park and possibly wait long. I tried calling to place an order ahead of time and no one answered. Will I be back? Ehhh not sure. read more

This place was pretty good! I came across it on TikTok and decided to give it a try. The food was tasty but definitely on the pricey side. The service was a bit inconsistent--it took about 20 minutes to get my order, and I noticed some people were still waiting from before I arrived until after I left. I ordered from the takeout side, so I didn't experience the dine-in atmosphere. Overall, I was satisfied and would return! read more

Heard of this place from IG so I was excited to try! We Walked in and got seated right away but we didn't speak to a server until 10-15 mins. It felt short staffed for sure (the bartender, waiter & host was all same person ). We received our appetizer first and still no drinks until another 20 mins. I had to ask Multiple times for that and utensils . Food was ok... nothing like online social media portrays it to be . It was alright inside , bathrooms were ehhhh.. I don't think I'd come back.. read more

The food is great but the only reason why I gave 4 stars because it seems disorganized. To me, it looks like it's only one kitchen serving the takeout and lounge section but good overall. read more

The food is absolutely disgusting, no seasoning, chewy wings, hard fried rice. I've tried it twice and everything was horrible, like everything! read more

Not sure what all the other comments are about, maybe the food tastes different depending if you sit in or take out? I sat in the dining area and had the oxtail quesadilla, which was flawless. My main dish was the jerk salmon with 2 sides. I was a little disappointed that they ran out of collard greens but no reason to cry, waitress was sweet and patient. It was a comfortable setting, hope their business only goes up. read more

Wow !! All I can say is this establishment really failed my hopes and it's crazy because I've been here and it wasn't this way! First off, the mash ? I'm pretty sure they added the whole bottle of salt in there, the Mac ? Very mid. Waffles ? Took 45 minutes to come out ! The jerk chicken was warm not even hot! Wow I'm very disappointed and I don't recommend! Very overpriced ! Head down to Mel's fusion instead ! It's right down the block read more

Dont be fooled by the look of the place,if it wasnt for Tik Tok i wouldnt have eaten here. The food is awesome, its pricey but worth it. I bought hella variety and spent over $85 for two people but there was still about 8 other things i would of liked to try. If you're in the neighborhood def. try it. Ohhhhhhh i forgot its a looooooooooooooooong wait for food but the taste made up for it! read more

Dacks Cuisine - A Huge Disappointment These internet famous restaurants are all hype and no substance. I traveled from NJ, excited to try all the viral dishes, fully prepared to order everything on my wishlist. Their Google listing states they open at 10 AM, so I arrived by 11 AM only to find out they actually open at 12. After waiting an hour, I was finally inside, eager to order. Behind the glass, they had basic oxtails, rice, and fried chicken not what I came for. I specifically wanted the oxtail nachos, oxtail mac and cheese, and stuffed fried lobster. But when I placed my order, I was told those were "specialty items." Fine, I get it. Then, I was hit with the real kicker the chef was leaving and wouldn't be back for two hours. Seriously?! If I wanted standard Caribbean food, I could go literally anywhere. No one is coming here for the basic dishes sitting behind the glass. The way they operate, you'd think they were a Michelin star restaurant. With this kind of attitude, they won't last long. read more

This is a very quaint nicely decorated cool place. The staff is very polite and generous. I took my daughter there for her birthday dinner and she loved that the food was spectacular. The service was great and the drinks were over the top. I would definitely go back again. It's just a little small, but well worth it. Real home cooking food, but served in a gourmet way. You will be taking any leftovers home. read more

Must say this place is a hidden gem in the Bronx, specifically in the Wakefield section. Dacks is mostly a takeout spot but it's worth it. The food is phenomenal and freshly made to order. Service is professional and provides the authentic Caribbean experience and vibe. I gave my trip an overall 10/10 rating.

We like the chicken rasta pasta. It is a huge portion and feeds two people with leftovers. It is tasty and has big chunks of fried chicken. The staff are friendly, and are good about calling you when your order is ready. read more

I ive been a regular customer at dacks, however as of the past few months the quality of the food and the service has declined significantly. they never answer the phone when customers call, once you're there and you place your order, you have to wait at least 45 minute to an hour for your food. the quality of the food sucks, the owner has a nasty attitude. as of the past two weeks I learned that that you can no longer receive two meats with you order, please keep in mind previously an order of Mac & cheese, yams, sweet chilli shrimp and jerk chicken was $ 34. now the owner told the staff to remove one of the meats and it's still $34. Therefore if you want another side of meat, in total it's $46. that's is utterly ridiculous. I mean yes you want to support your local business, especially the black owned ones, however they always have to overdo and overcharge their own people. it's so sad and that's why we take our money to other communities where we are treated better, the prices are better and the quality of food is even better. dacks need to do better read more

Everything on social media is fake. The baked mac and cheese is watery. Food was so mid.

Over an hour wait. Ordered oxtail Rasta pasta and what I got could barely be considered Alfredo pasta. No peppers, onions, cheese, spices nothing. The oxtails weren't tender and there were only 4 in a plate that cost $30. From what I'm hearing stick to chicken and waffles if you go read more

This Business is extremely bad although the food may be good and fresh they make you wait a long period of time. The workers will tell you 20 minutes and will make you wait 1 hour for the smallest amount of food. Please do not come here. People called ahead of me and still had to wait. Not to mention the menu you have no prices. read more
