Fireside Jamaican Restaurant -- 3/2026 Fireside Jamaican absolutely earns five stars. The food is rich, flavorful, and cooked with the kind of care that makes every bite worth the wait. Even with long lines, everyone stays patient because the food is that good. The space has a few dine‑in tables and is basically clean, giving you the option to sit and enjoy your meal. The staff is kind, attentive, and genuinely knowledgeable: they ask all the right questions about your preferences, how you want your plate arranged, and even whether you like your food touching * Kingfish (Lg) 2 Pieces-- perfectly seasoned, tender, and bursting with bold, delicious flavor. * Oxtail (Med) -- fall‑off‑the‑bone tender with deep, rich gravy. * Stewed Beans-delicious *Cabbage - lightly stewed *Rice w Greens( my favorite)- l *Rice and Peas- * Lemonade -- refreshing, homemade * Majestea -- smooth, vibrant, and delicious enough to order again on the spot. read more

Horrible Customer Service. I tried on multiple occasions to support this black owned business but they are so rude & unprofessional. I come for ox tails & cabbage. I've been told there not serving today. Then told I to have beans & rice as they don't have enough cabbage. Walked out with nothing. Horrible read more

There's not much in the area to eat so we decide to try Fireside. It was busy when we came in at lunch on a Thursday but we had our food in about 5 mins so it was worth the wait. I ordered the Jerk chicken "small" and it's two meals in total. The overall flavor is pretty good but the chicken is a little dry. When it's not cooked to order you have to expect that some. The rice and beans is really tasty but I had to put some hot sauce on it, if you can't do spicy this is a good place for you. I should have ordered the gravy on the rice and beans. It is a basic strip center building so it's not super nice but the dining room is clean so that's good. Overall the staff was nice and it was a good experience so we will probably come back to try something different. If you're in the area it's worth a try for $10. read more

Most awesome Jamaican food. The oxtails are the best. The people are warm and friendly

The food is good but your customer service is sometimes very bad! I heard a server verbally abuse a customer saying she wanted free food and to not talk to him if she sees him again after I saw her pay her bill and ordered a lot of food. She had said hello to him and then he attacked her. Seems it was about the size of the container. Just charge more or put the same amount in the larger container. The small take out container causes the gravy to spill all over people. . Even if there is a disagreement on cost that is absolutely no way to treat customers. I would not buy food from anywhere if they treated me like that! read more

Good food just horrible customer service. I went there 2 times when I was visiting and the same outcome.

Chicken wings came out raw in the middle but sauce was great ... ox takes where Great short ribs where great I would go again

Several months ago, I ordered jerk wings from the Covington Highway location. They were very good spicy and had good flavor. I went to the Bouldercrest location yesterday and I was extremely disappointed.! The wings didn't have any flavor no spice nothing said, Caribbean or jerk!! Crazy pissed because I had taste for them. It even lacked the smell very close to being nasty. read more

I usually love their food when it comes to lunch...BUT today was my first time having breakfast I ordered two ackee and saltfish (generous portion) I was very surprised that it came up to about $50 no drink no add ons at all (that ya price?) ok cool I paid for it. I got home tasted It & literally was the worst ackee and saltfish I ever tasted in my life it was almost a disgrace fr the ackee was soft and boiled out , the salt fish had absolutely no salt at all and there was way to much tomato and no flavor at all. In fact I literally had to add salt just to try to eat it. NOW I see why she added so much to my plates she was tryna to get rid of it fast she must've known it was terrible. I recommend their lunch menu this breakfast was traumatizing ngl waste of $50. Wouldn't brought it back but I'm sure it would've been a hassle tryna to get a refund. I don't ever write reviews but I just couldn't let this one slide!!! read more

No were in Augusta, serve Ackee & Saltfish. So when I come to Atlanta, I look forward to coming to Fireside. They do not disappoint. The helpings were plentiful. I shared with my Mom. read more

They advertise open at 7:00am, and do not open the doors until 7:15-7:30. You sit there and be late for work if you wait, and the short brown skinned lady ATTITUDE stinks she should be more welcoming when serving ppl food. read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars and I'm not even kidding. I've NEVER left a bad review, but I made sure to leave one for this place. The food was not good, and neither was the customer service. I asked the short light-skinned woman fixing my plate which did she prefer, the jerk or curry chicken, and she responded "idk, it depends on what you prefer. People prefer different things." I liked to jump over that counter because WHAT??? Just for us to pay $38 and HATE the food. The jerk chicken was burnt to the bone, the curry chicken was almost slimey as if it was sitting there all day in steam, and neither of the two had any flavor whatsoever, which we should've known because you couldn't even smell not one lick of spice in the air when you pulled up or even when you walk in. It's like you could almost taste food poisoning coming. And the cabbage???? Tuh, risk it if you want to. I WISH I WOULD GET ANOTHER CRUMB FROM THIS PLACE!!!! read more

I could not decide what to order, they have so many great options! I decided on the medium-sized salmon with cabbage, rice, and peas. The cabbage wasn't too soggy and had a slight crunch. The sauce on the salmon was a tomato base and amazing with grilled onions and peppers. The quality of food and the amount was definitely worth the price! The lady put more sauce on the rice and peas, which made it delicious! I can't wait to go back to try some other dishes. read more

Worst customer service i have ever had. I wanted three plates and the dude got mad because he had to walk back to the end of the buffet to fix the third plate. He said to me " i asked you did you want another plate while i was down there" so not customer service. So i told them to keep the garbage and i left. I thought i was the CUSTOMER... read more

I frequent this location alot, lately every time I go to this location, they always out of something. I went today at 4pm wanted a jerk chicken dinner with cabbages. The man said they didn't have any cabbages, he said in about a hour. I went back at 5pm. I ordered the same thing from 4pm. And now they don't have any jerk chicken. This is so sad. Customer Service is horrible. I will take my money elsewhere. read more

Oxtails cost $30 and were not cooked well. Meat was tough and very small. Cabbage had no taste

Ive been to Atlanta a few times but not on this side of town. Let me tell you I was not disappointed! I got the ackee and saltfish, callaloo and dumplings! Price was decent and my styrofrom was heavy, that's all I ask! I will definitely come back again! read more

Had to run an errand in the area and also needed to fix my craving for Jamaican Breakfast. I called ahead to place an order and was told no phone orders. I begged and the employee agreed to hold only the Small Porridge for me. By the time I found the place there was a long line! I was so glad I asked to hold the porridge because I got the last order. Pros: They are open early They offer both fries & boiled dumpling They offer salt fish & butterbeans for those who don't like ackee The Porridge was delicious The portions were good The gentleman that served us was very kind and professional and even entertained our suggestions to add lentil soup for vegans The gospel station was playing which set the mood Service was very good Cons: There was too much baking soda in the dumpling The ackee was not in whole pieces The salt fish was salty Service was slow only because there was one guy doing it all The plates are priced by item vs size We will definitely visit again! read more

Took a lunch break while getting my hair done. Looked up places near me and thank goodness a Jamaican place popped up. Arrive and I was the only American customer. Great sign. Everyone was a native do therefore the food must taste like home. I ordered oxtail, rice and peas, and cabbage. The rice was delicious and the cabbage as well. The oxtails were tender as can be but the seasoning was surprisingly lacking. The sauce looked thick and rich but it didn't wow me. I should've ordered what the 5 others before ordered. Stewed chicken or jerk chicken I will eat here again when I go back to have my follow hair appointment and try those. read more

The customer service was decent Maybe I came late during the night but most of the food was gone I had rice and peas w/ oxtail gravy I had salmon and THE SALMON was a disappointment Unforgettable experience// not in a good way But it was decent read more

Just moved to the area and I was hunting for a spot to get some Saturday soup and this is it. Not only was it Manish wata (my favorite), it was full of meat, carrot, cho cho, finger dumplin, and nuff flavor. I got the large for $8.50 and after pouring a full bowl still had plenty left. There was a line but the two women at the front were attentive and quick. They had masks and it was not difficult to hear them. Can't wait to go back for some breakfast! read more

Food and service both FIREEEE! Had the curry goat and it was amazing! will definitely be coming back here to grab a plate anytime i'm in the city. read more

Great customer service, great timing, great food and selections. I friend of mine highly suggested Fireside Jamaican while here in town. I ordered the ox tails with beans and rice (extra gravy), cabbage and plantains to go. The food is served buffet style here and there's minimal seating inside. The food was tasty and fulfilling too might I add! Seasonings we're delish and oxtails we're tender, mmmm! Plantains weren't overcooked so I'm sure these people know what they're doing here! I see why they have great reviews...they've got 5 stars from me! Yummy! read more

Food was just ok, nothing special! I was disappointed because I heard the food was really delicious

I looked this place up at the recommendation of a Jamaican coworker. Upon seeing that it was in the same building as a gas station, I knew it would be an instant winner. I came here with a friend, and I got the oxtail, along with rice and cabbage. All of it was really tasty. Lots of flavor and good quality. I'd recommend trying the oxtail if you have never tried it. My friend got the jerk chicken. He liked it a lot, but be warned - it's got a lot of heat! It's hot bar style, so everything is ready to eat. They also give you a lot of food for money you pay. Bang for the buck is very important in my book! Overall really great place. I'd be a regular if I lived around here. Unique food, great flavor, high quality, lots of it, good price, so 5 stars. read more

Their food is very delicious and filling! They're always quite generous with portions, so it's worth the price (which depends on what size plate you order). It's a little place adjacent to a fuel station, so parking is very limited at times. And they are OFTEN crowded. That tells you how good their food is! :) read more

So, I purchased the side of the oxtails for $20.00 after taxes. They were so tough. Appeared as if they rushed/pressure cooked them. I called and made them aware of it. The guy said, "Oh, OK, sorry about that." Really? There was no attempt to make it good--nothing. I'm good! read more

I am on day 2 back to back eating from this place. First off the OXTAILS ...yes they deserve caps all caps. So So I say, so great in flavor..tender..its the love we all been looking for in life.

I've been here a few times so I'm struggling with the rating. Typically, I order the curry chicken and it's GREAT with rice and peas, cabbage and plantain. The other day I decided to venture out and get the fried chicken with the same sides, I was not impressed. The chicken was very dried out. All in all, in the future -- I'll stick to what I know. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. The food had absolutely no flavor. Had to add hot sauce to get it to taste like something and it ended up being so spicy. Had a stomachache for 3 days after eating at this place. 0/10 recommend. read more

Food isn't as good as the Caribbean spot in Stockbridge next to the juicy crab they give better serving sizes more sides and better service for the same price plus they oxtails are way bigger I got large plate and got these tiny ass read more

I come here often and each time I try to give another chance. There's always hair in my curry goat! This time brown hair

Paid almost $16 dollars for this medium-sized salmon plate, and this is what i got. For the money, I expected more, and the amount of food I got was ridiculous. Haven't been here in a while because prices keep going up while the portions get smaller and smaller. I definitely wont be back. read more
