    Just a SUGGESTION  When you call people for their food don't tie bag up before opening container an showing customer their order

    1st time trying Empire JR I ordered Oxtails with side of Goat 1chicken 1beef pattie 2 Ginger beers I Received Oxtails 1/4 inch fat Extra greasy not a gravy grease but a Lard greasy lightly seasoned with all the fat and grease Goat was not Goat I know the difference between goat and chicken white meat CHICKEN nice jerk seasoning but it was dry Patties chicken was good beef had a Twang after taste Cabbage was not fresh but it was like LEFTOVERS and the same for plantains Sorry to say I probably won't got back

    We had an intimate birthday dinner celebration for a friend, chef Greg made this dinner a pleasure…read morefrom start to finish!! First the food!! it was delicious, each dish featured multiple flavors playing off one another, in a complex but not overwhelming way. The food is restaurant quality, and the authentic Jamaican flavors are just half the story, chef Greg takes a simple dish like red pea soup and he turns it into an edible piece of art. Of all the dishes that he cooked for us, I would say that his homemade stew pork with mashed potatoes was my favorite. But each dish was delicious! The Jerk chicken, rice and peas, with cabbage, the shrimp linguine, beef stew and red wine, festivals, and the bbq wings. I highly recommend chef Greg's authentic Jamaican cuisine.

    Wow wow wow!! Generous portion sizes. Friendly and timely service. Spicesss galore. Considerate…read morepackaging. All in all a hidden gem and in my opinion one of the best Jamaican spots in Cali! I ordered the oxtails, island shrimp, beef patties, brown stew chicken and curry chicken. Every meal comes with plastic silverware and 4 sides: plantains, a hefty serving of rice-reallyyyy flavorful- festivals, and salad. Every.single.thing.was amazing even the sides were cooked well, my personal favorite was the oxtail and shrimp! If you want authentic Jamaican food give Greg's kitchen a visit you won't regret it, he cooks with love and you can taste it in each bite. I devoured the brown stew chicken way too fast and forgot to get a photo lol. I will definitely order more while in the IE.

    HORRIBLEY OVERPRICED BBQ!!!!…read more This place has a lot of potential, but they are poorly managed and just HORRIBLEY OVERPRICED!!!! They charged us nearly $25 dollars for an 11-oz bowl of brisket Mac & cheese at the Bite of Seattle and didn't take our name or give us a number. They just told us to go over to the side and wait with a group of about 20 other people, which then quickly became about 30 people, all waiting for food. When they had food items ready, they just yelled out, " who had (insert food item here) and then it was a free for all as to who could grab the food first regardless of how long they had been waiting. Ypu could have easily not purchased any food at all and just gone up and grabbed food!!! Long lines!!! Unorganized!!! Overpriced!!! Too bad, too, as the brisket Mac and cheese was actually pretty good, but it was priced about two to three times as much as it should have been!!!

    Good BBQ is hard to find!! We hired Da Big Show to cater my husband's surprise 40th birthday and we…read morehad the best experience. Brian and his wife were so helpful from scheduling a tasting to answering all of my questions to my last minute menu changes and all the way through delivery. The food from Da Big Show is amazing. Everything was so well seasoned and full of flavor! All of our guests were raving about the food. You know the food is good when your guests are texting you days after the party asking who made our food. If we ever need BBQ food we will definitely be calling Da Big Show!! Thank you!!
