This restaurant deserves a way better rating than what they have now. The food is always good. The service is great as well.

if yout expectations are to be waited on you will be disappointed The location is cafeteria style and is 99% of the time i am there clean and well maintained. I come for the food and it never disappoints The lunch specials are unbeatable especially the curry goat. It's quite surprising to me that the restaurant does not have more traffic. For me i don't mind. keep on serving up that good food. I'll keep coming back!! read more

Oxtails had good flavor, the gravy always makes the rice better. Curry goat was good but the gravy made it appear as if there was a lot of meat, gotta do better. Overall the food is always good, other than not getting enough meat this spot is my go to when I don't cook and don't feel like having junk food. read more

I usually come to the donnas on my way to work and I always order a medium jerk pork without a lot of fat and this time it was very excessive so they couldn't respect my wishes and they should've just told me $17 for a plate of FAT especially a day before Thanksgiving Not Cool read more

Pulled up drive thru .no respoded Drove up to window. No one present The placed appeared to be desserted A guy walks past inside and looks at us and walks away Must be out of business Time to check neighboring business read more

Ordered the large oxtail it looked more like a medium. They only serve the small cuts of the oxtail. And even though she drowned my rice and gravy it was still dry. Also we ordered the curry goat which was delicious but again the rice and beans was very dry. Most importantly what made this experience not so good it was the horrible customer service from the woman making the plates. She seemed irritated with everything I asked. And I just wanted to ensure I got the best experience and the best value for my dollar. On the other hand my daughter loved everything, so that just goes to show that it all depends on who you are and if you'll appreciate a revisit the restaurant. read more

Donna's Caribbean Restaurant - Curry goat with rice and beans. Oxtail with right rice. and two fritters. - Caribbean Near Me - Miami Gardens, Florida

I've tried almost everything in this restaurant because their location is convenient. Their curried chicken was very raw and bleeding, ackee and saltfish is more filled with salt fish and maybe a spoonful of ackee, all swimming in oil and it's like this for years. I've had other meals that ended up throwing away. The only thing they cook properly is kidney/liver. Oxtail and curried goat always bitter. The person at the drive through window is not friendly at all. Just shouts at you when taking your order. This place has potential but needs a lot of changes. My most recent purchase of "ackee and saltfish" in this picture. read more

Donna's Caribbean Restaurant - Plantains burnt black on one side just all around Unenjoyable oxtail tough as leather - Caribbean Near Me - Miami Gardens, Florida

First time orderer from what appears a new business, hopefully, to make mistakes from growing pains. That said, the curry chicken was good. However the food was cold due to the delivery was delivered and a text message was sent, but no knock at the door that it was here; outside for a half honor. Contactless it as. Sadly, we ordered ribs as well, but they were not delivered, nor were we charged for it. Lastly, the desert ordered was fruit cake. Instead, a slice of red velvet cAke was delivered. Delivered dry and the wrong item I guess if you don't mind anything sent to you with curry sauce, you can't go wrong. read more

I Love Caribbean food and was really looking forward to trying this Place. It was recommended to my Mom, but they said the one in Pembroke Pines was better. The space itself is nice, better than most of the little whole in the wall Caribbean restaurants, and they greet you when you walk-in which is very different for this kind of restaurant. Everything looks clean and orderly. We had the Escoviche Fish with rice and pigeon peas, fried ripe plantains, and a salad. I was going to have a bottle of Sorrel but when I picked it up the bottle was bloated. When I told the server she just looked at me. The servers were nice enough and one of them seemed new. They didn't ask if the food was to go, they just handed us the bag firmly tied. We untied it and sat to eat. There were two forks, that's it. Had to go get knives and napkins. There were also no napkins on the tables, or anywhere else other than with the cashier. We thought the rice was tasty, even though I don't like the "converted" rice. The plantains were also decent because they were not dripping in oil. The salad was also decent, but they didn't give or add any salad dressing. Had to go ask. The Escoviche Fish, which is a Caribbean classic had absolutely no taste and the fish was fried too dry. I'll give the one in Pembroke Pines a try but this one is not on the top of my list. read more

Delicious food. Ordered a medium portion of curry and as you can see from the photo, my plate was stuffed so it felt like a large. Amazing. read more

Honestly not sure how they stay open horrible service if you go through drive through expect to be there for more than an hour, food taste like it's been sitting for a while read more

I'm very disappointed. I came here today expecting a good filling meal for my lunch break! But I got heated when the lady forgot my Mac and cheese. But I said you know what I probably wasn't going to eat it all. So I dived into my meal. Thirty seconds into it i noticed the chicken was nothing but bones! I might as well be eating chicken foot instead of brown stew! I felt like a stray puppy eating leftover bones out of the garbage can! Man !!!!!! I don't want to come back here again. But I know I might come back to get the red pea soup because it's fire and golden crust only sell it one day a week. ‍ read more

Very tasty oxtail. Will definitely go again. Delicious brown rice and beans and jerk sauce

These oxtàils were everything tender juicy and flavorful sticky goodness. The prices were a bit high but I definitely got my money's worth of food. They really loaded my plate with peas and rice oxtails with a gravy sauce veggies and plantains though there was only 3 small plantains sticking together and they weren't fresh tasting. Absolutely could've used some pizazz on the plantains they were quite bland. One would think that a drink is included with their meal considering the prices but it was separately priced just under 2 bucks for a bottled ginger beer (not my favorite). Fresh is best!!!! The service was speedy and the cashier though she never smiled was very honest giving me back the overage of change I gave her in a hurry. I shall be back overall it was delicious island food. read more

Donna's Caribbean Restaurant - Oxtails with peas & rice with salad and plantains - Caribbean Near Me - Miami Gardens, Florida

This Caribbean Jamaican drive thur restaurant is a quick and easy way to get a home cooked caribbean meal on the go. You can also dine in if you like. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have tropical natural drinks like coconut water, sorrel (a hibiscus flower),ginger pinapple etc. I ordered the oxtail lunch special that came with rice and peas, 2or 3 sweet plantain and salad. They give you a good portion I ordered a medium and couldn't finish all I saved some for later. read more

This review is solely about the stew peas. I did not know that this item was on the menu because I normally only look for oxtails, jerk chicken, and curry chicken when I go to a Jamaican restaurant. I normally order stew peas from another restaurant here in Miami, but it is very far from my house. I decided to try Donna's stew peas on Thursday and they were absolutely delicious. I ordered the large for me and my daughter, but there was so much food that we ate off the one plate for 2 days. The seasoning was on point and full of meat and dumplings. I would highly recommend the stew peas if you are in the mood for a hearty filling dish. I will definitely order this dish again and again. read more

I had the Ackee and Saltfish here for the first time and it was good. The servers were pleasant and served with a smile. For me it was a good experience. I will definitely give them another visit soon to try some of their other dishes. read more

I ordered the Brown Stew Chicken. It was horrible.!!!DONT WASTE YOUR $$$.The gravy taste like teriyaki sauce with some awful smell, with some chopped pieces of chicken along with a whole leg and it had an awful taste. I was disappointed so I guess I will go back to Dutch Pot for my brown stew chicken. read more

Went to this place yesterday in Miami Gardens ordered large oxtail which showed 23.59 or 23.99 so when she total my order it was like 28.00 so I said how can it go from 23.59 to 28.00 she said taxes I said taxes aint that high...then she said 2.00 more for steam vegetables which is nothing but Cabbage...every Jamaican Restaurant I have ever visited you get meat rice and a vegetable but they do not tell you that in advance they just put it on your plate when you tell them what side order you want the menu the picture shows oxtail rice and vegetables and plantains but nothing says xtra for a spoon full of cabbage....#crooks# will never go back so she lost 23.59 for trying to add ..greed I left the food right there and walked out read more

Honestly I won't come here again. The first 2 times I came the oxtails were really good. But I've come at least 4 times more and have all bad experiences. Today was my last straw. They are ALWAYS out of everything. They don't close until around 10pm so it's ridiculous that every time I come around 2 or 3:30 pm they are out of everything. They didn't have oxtails, Curry goat or regular jerk chicken(the last 3 times I've come) . So I got the Barbi jerk. The jerk chicken was cold in the middle and warm on the outside. Letting me know that they microwaved it. My friend got 2 beef patties. They were not warm at all. So clearly not fresh. (they were not warm the last time either) and we got Jamaican kola and they were warm. So not only is the food cold, the drinks are NOT cold... This place is so backwards. I'm done with them. read more

Just came from this establishment, had the curry chicken with rice & peas. 3 bites into the meal & I had to run to the bathroom & vomit. This is the 3rd time eating there and this is the last. read more

I recommend staying away from this place. The food is average but the customer service is awful. I asked the person serving me what is the difference between jerk chicken and barbi jerk chicken and she didn't answer me and walked away. Then when I tried to order they served people behind me and ignored me until I got their attention by waving in there faces. If you are new to this area stay away from this place. You will feel uncomfortable the entire time you are there. read more

Never again will we go here!!!!! Besides the unfriendly customer service we had curry chicken that was almost impossible to eat. I like spicy but it was not even possible to enjoy. It gave my mother and I an instant headache and her gout flared up. There should be a warning label! I've had curry of chicken from other restaurants but this was by fare the worst experience! read more

Could be better, if they used all the ingredients that the recipe recommends, but not bad when you are on the road , as a Jamaican that can cook I will be there competition in the future. read more

The drive thru is super convenient. I pass by Everytime I just want to pick up a quick meal on my way home. Also on the weekends, I'll just roll out of bed in the morning, visit the drive thru for my porridge and breakfast stuff. Prices are affordable. I usually only get the stew peas and rice or curry goat and they taste pretty good. read more

The oxtails was terrible not seasoned well and i hate i paid for a large $16 plate the last time was good i will not be back no time soon

I went there today because I had a taste for oxtails and on previous visits it was good. Well, what a disappointment. I ordered a large oxtail with peas and rice and asked for gravy on the rice. I got my food and went home to eat it. When I opened the container I could see that the rice was dry and there wasn't even gravy on the meat. Everything was dry and had very little seasoning. For a meal that cost $17.00 this is absolutely ridiculous. I will not be returning. Whoever the cook was today should be fired. I've had more flavor in my food eating eggs. Very disappointing. The next time I am craving oxtails, I will not get it from here. read more

Loved the oxtail but you need to be early before 7pm or they run out. Good amount of serving,

I visited Donna's in Plantation years ago. Like 14 years ago and it left a lasting impression. I honestly felt like the new location would be the same or better, especially since it's extremely closer to my address. Welllllll, I was completely wrong. This location sucks big time. The rice feels and taste like it was mixed with undercooked or overcooked yesterday's rice! The potato salad, which was an $1.50, was ATROCIOUS. Big ass chunks of unseasoned, room temperature, raw, disaster. I will never, ever waste another cent (paid $35.82 for 2 dinners) in either of their establishments. I'm beyond disappointed. read more

Ordered 2 Brown Stewed Chicken dinner's, it was so,so, very dry and hard wherein we couldn't even eat it!!!

When I arrived at the drive thru the employees were not professional-they had the mike opened and I heard their conversations it took them almost 7 minutes to take my order they ran out of peas and rice it was 3;42 in the afternoon-I ordered jerk chicken and it was dry-i will not be goiing back read more

Makes no sense with these drive thru if yu still gotta wait 20 minutes to order Kmt... do better. Waited in line just to be told they don't have nothing I wanted read more

I came here on a saturday at 2pm. Only one car in the drivethru. I ordered the medium oxtail with peas and rice, and salad. Took 5 mins to be done with it all. When i got home i ate it all. Was very good. This place is close to home so i will come back soon. read more

This place should be torn down. Laughable portions for the price, all rice, no meat. Ordered 1/2 pound of pork and two oxtail dinners. Pork and oxtail were all fat barely any meat. Jamaica House is next door, go there instead. Literally go anywhere but here if you're craving island food. read more

I like their food and prices. The Employees are nice and acknowledge me when I come. My Husband also enjoy their food. #thumpsup

Watch out for online order fraud with Donna's Caribbean. Placed online order and Felicia (in Miami Gardens Restaurant) rudely told me they don't take online orders through their own website. I showed receipt listing the store and charge against bank account. Still nothing but indifference. Told me to call my bank. Never again. Go to Dutchpot Instead. Better food, people and service. read more
