Saturday my mom and I decided to get some Jamaican food from here. My mom has eaten at the…read morerestaurant before and I tried some of her leftovers last time and it was good. The building is painted green, yellow, and black. We pulled up and there were a few people getting carry out orders and maybe two couples dining in. We decided to split a jerk chicken plate and get the greens and cabbage. It was only $20 and I thought that was a pretty good price with the amount of food we received. While waiting I walked around the restaurant and noticed they have an area in the back where you take a picture on a throne chair. There's also a lot of Jamaican flags displayed in the restaurant. Our food came out pretty fast, less than 10 minutes after ordering. We were taking our food home and we live maybe 10 minutes away. The jerk chicken was really good and I enjoyed the cabbage and greens as well. My mom said she wasn't a fan of the cabbage last time she had it as it was still too crunchy for her, but that this time it was cooked to her liking. My only complaint was that the food was not hot, more on the lukewarm side. I'll definitely go back for the jerk chicken plate.

The flavor is everything I can just drink the gravy. It's so good and of course, the jerk chicken, the rice and the peas and macaroni are always delicious. This was my first time getting the cabbage when I tell you the right amount of spice and flavor. All I can say is I will be back.

The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had a relaxed atmosphere from the moment I walked in. Everything felt organized, and the experience was smooth from start to finish. Food: Even though Jamaican food normally isn't my go-to, the food here was actually really good. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. It definitely gave me a better appreciation for the cuisine, and I'd be open to trying more from the menu next time. Service: Service was great the entire time. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly. I had no issues at all during the visit, and the experience felt easy and comfortable. Ambiance: The establishment was very clean and had a nice overall vibe. It felt like a good place to sit down, relax, and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. Overall: Good food, fast service, and a clean, welcoming environment. Even as someone who doesn't normally go for Jamaican food, 14 Parishes gave me a good experience and definitely made a solid impression.

Service: 3/10 Service truly matters--sometimes even more than the food itself. Unfortunately, during our visit, the service left much to be desired. My wife and I were the only guests in the entire restaurant on a Friday night (6:30), yet the service was surprisingly slow. Our server lacked basic hospitality skills. He wasn't welcoming, barely spoke above a whisper, and failed to engage with us at all. We had to move our own dirty dishes just so he could place the next course on the table. When he brought to-go containers and the check, he said nothing--no "thank you," no "have a good evening," no "hope to see you again." Just silence. It was awkward, especially considering we were the only table in the place. When my wife's salad arrived, she had to ask if any salad dressing was available. The server mentioned two types, then vaguely referenced a third one he couldn't pronounce. Ideally, he should have asked for her dressing preference when she first placed the order. He gets points for bringing our food and drinks. Food Sweet Chilli Wings: 9/10; these came out piping hot, and the sauce was finger-licking good. Chicken Curry: 9/10; you could taste the love. Somebody spent time making this dish. Creamy and fall-off-the-bone tender chicken. Candied Yams: 9/10; tender potatoes and not too sweet. Mac and Cheese: 8/10 Patty: 8/10; light and flaky shell, and well-seasoned filling. Could've used more filling, though. Jerk Shrimp Salad: 6/10; the greens were fresh, but the salad itself was very basic--there was nothing particularly unique or elevated about it. The shrimp portion was quite skimpy, and unfortunately, the shrimp tasted like they had been previously frozen. To make matters worse, they were served with the tails still on, which made the salad awkward and messy to eat. Honestly, we could've recreated a similar dish at home with a bag of mixed greens and some jerk seasoning. Coco Bread: 5/10; The bread was light and fluffy, but tasted like air. It was forgettable. Update: 8/10; I heated the bread in the air fryer the following day, and added some salted butter. Talk about a level up! That's how it should be served in the restaurant, warm with butter. Pineapple Ginger drink: 7/10; promoted as freshly prepared. It was ginger-forward, and would've benefited from carbonation. But they also serve ginger beer. Ambiance It's an adorable restaurant filled with colorful paintings of New Orleans. The huge backdrop/mural behind the bar pays homage to the city's architecture with its depiction of window shutters. And it's airy because of the high ceilings. The wooden tables and chairs are a nice touch, and would feel right at home in a bed and breakfast.

I also ordered the mac and cheese and fried plantains and both were excellent. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting while the plantains were sweet and cooked just right.

The lady working there was incredibly kind and friendly which made the whole experience even better. Great food, genuine hospitality, and an inviting ambiance. I will definitely be coming back.

Chef and staff were very personable and we liked the pride they took in their food. Plenty of tables, clean. It's part of a small strip/complex, only complaint is parking lot is small; recommend parking on the street. Maybe one of our favorite Jamaican places in the area. Prices are fair. Do not trust any Jamaican place that's open on a Sunday (IYKYK)... that's how you know you can trust this place.

Looking…read morearound the dining room, it seemed like no one had their food yet, so the kitchen was clearly backed up. It took about 15 minutes for our server to acknowledge us, but she apologized right away and took our entire order. From that point on, everything improved. Our appetizer came out quickly. They were running a special--2 jerk wings for $3--so we ordered two servings. For our entrées, we had the spicy brown stew plate and the jerk chicken and oxtail combo plate. I ordered the spicy brown stew, but it wasn't very spicy. That said, it was still packed with flavor, so I wasn't disappointed. The food arrived not long after we ordered, and everything was flavorful with generous portions. The meat portions were especially impressive. The rice was good, but compared to the amount of meat, I'd probably order an extra side of rice next time and split the meat and sides. They also offer a military discount, which was a nice bonus. Overall, despite the slow start, the great food and friendly service made it a worthwhile visit. Based on my experience, I'd definitely recommend this place and plan to stop by again whenever I'm in the area.
