I stopped by a couple times I had some jerk chicken and oxtails, I think the cabbage and rice n peas were alright, the oxtails were a bit... sweet and not as super succulent as I'd like, quantity seemed to be lacking, and the jerk chicken was good enough... it was all good, nothing great or amazing. read more

I must admit, I appreciate getting what I deserve and who doesn't deserve a large portion of oxtail like this? The oxtail was good, the portion generous, and the price fairly reasonable compared to what I've seen elsewhere. The vegetables were nicely steamed and not sludgy. The rice was fresh and had plenty of peas. I placed a pickup order, and the service was fast. I was in and out quickly. Pro: The amount of food you get was enough for leftovers.Con: A bit too sweet and not quite tender enough to melt in your mouth off the bone. I personally appreciate a little kick, spice wise, in my food. read more

G's Homestyle Cooking - Oxtail, rice and peas with streamed vegetables - Caribbean Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Yess!! The nicest Jamaican restaurant I've ever been to in terms of mannerisms. The food was delicious too. Will definitely be back.

There is only ONE oxtail in NYC that I enjoy more than the one I had here at G's... but it's so close, I'm not even going to tell you where I had that one. It's likely this week be the best you've ever had. The seating here is 4 it 5 tables (each seats 4), the place is simple, but I was pretty impressed today. I'd like to go back and try more stuff. I was happy to see they're separating bottles from garbage. There is a parking lot around the corner, though I found street parking. There is no table service. I was only disappointed that they don't sell any Iced Tea. read more

Was feeling Caribbean food so I ordered for delivery. I got the oxtail platter and the jerk chicken platter with steamed cabbage, rice and peas, and plantains. The food came hot and fresh and nicely wrapped. The oxtail had really good flavor, savory from the sauce and nicely spiced. The meat was also juicy but the fat could be trimmed a bit more. The jerk chicken also had good seasoning and wasn't dry but could use a little more sauce. The sides were typical and matched well with the salty meats. Overall I'd definitely order from them again! read more

First time coming into this restaurant and ordered a surprise bag from the Too Good To Go app. Service was absolutely wonderful they were warm and welcoming. It was fast and easy as they made the bag when requested rather than having it set to the side waiting so it was so hot and fresh. I received a plate with meat, rice and peas, veggies and plantains. Fresh and delicious. A large soup - red peas with everything added in it. The soup so good I could cry; the perfect amount to be filling and comforting. Even though it was almost closing time all was fresh and nothing tasted stale. The place itself was clean, organized with everything that was on display clearly labeled in large easy to read text. Bathroom labeled and available for customers. Tables with enough room to comfortably sit and enjoy a meal. Large collection of deserts, drinks and patties on clear display (saw signs for patties but was already put up for the night). Will definitely recommend, will definitely go back. Thank you so much for a great experience on a long cold night. read more

MOLD ON THEIR FOOD! I ordered a pineapple slice of cake from them and it was covered with mold on the bottom and throughout the cake! Its very visible! Disgisting! If thats the disregard you give to serving something as simple as cake I can only imagine what else in their kitchen is EXPIRED, MOLDY and shouldnt be consumed! My daughter (3yr old) took the first bite of that moldy cake. DISGUSTING! They need to be reported by a health inspector. read more

One of the best Jamaican places in NY city. Its a GEM hidden a block down from the LIRR station. Very simple place but the food is sooooo good- MUST TRY! We had their Goat curry and Steak combos- they come with rice/beans/salad and the best plantains i've ever had! The meat is sooo tender and well cooked- The food is so well prepared just as in its name-Home style! Staff is the most attentive and helpful. Loved this place! read more

Got the oxtail plate! Very good for the price. I think it was a bit sweet and could have used some more spices, but good regardless.

I was flying out of JFK and was staying in a hotel in Jamaica. I was feeling like some Jamaican food and found this place. I circled around a few times to get parking and finally did. I found out that they also have parking at the back until 5 pm. I ordered the medium oxtail platter and it was incredible. The meat was falling off the bone. The platter comes with rice, plantains and a generous amount of oxtail and gravy. If you get a chance, try it out. It's worth it and one of the best I've had. Very flavorful. The owner said the oxtail is his best seller. They don't mess around here. 80% meat and the rest is the fluff like the rice, cabbage and plantain. read more

Food: The oxtail medium platter is always my go to with mixed veggies and plantain and extra oxtail gravy...I'm telling you bussin. They have some of the best oxtail it won't disappoint. I also love the fish cakes always get about three great anytime for the day we had them for breakfast it was the perfect grab and go meal and my baby loves them Service: The service is always on point, for a Jamaican restaurant they are very friendly and warm and welcoming in comparison to my experiences in the 5 boroughs especially the corporate run golden Krust. They are very warm and welcoming Ambiance: Cool calm vibes we have sat down and ate before and enjoyed the paintings on the walls I suggest you give them a try no matter if you are in the Queens area, passing by some of the best food in the area....I stay away from Chinese food at all cost especially in the area they have horrible customer service on the same block radius read more

Love this Jamaican restaurant so much because the owner is just a lovely man (I'm assuming he's the owner). But the food is always on point. The jerk chicken will never disappoint me. Their red bean soup?!?! Life changing. Even their roti is perfection. Bless this establishment. read more

Absolute delicious Service is spectacular!! Food is off the HOOK!! The servers make you feel right at home

Nice little family style Jamaican restaurant, the service was very fast and the staff was super friendly. I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas and plantains, the chicken was very tender and wasn't dry at all. The coconut pie I got for dessert was the star of the show. read more

The food was very good and made fresh. The portion size was big for it to be a small order. The jerk chicken could use a little more sauce. The pieces on the bottom were a little dry. I asked for salad but they gave me steamed vegetables but I still enjoyed the meal. I would definitely come back here again. read more

I found a fly in my food. I live across the street. So I came right back, I was told that I had to come back after 3pm to speak to the manager. They took my food. I came after in the afternoon and the manager refused to give me refund. He insists that there's no way to tell if the food came from my home. It did not. I'm pissed offf. I will NEVER eat there again! Their customer service is horrible. read more

Food was okay. The person taking our order and serving us act like she didn't want to work. She was not engaging at all!! When we asked about the size of the dishes she simply pointed above her head. Asked for some extra napkins, she grabbed them with her back turned and just stuck her hand out. Never even turned her head. read more

G's Homestyle Cooking is a solid 3.5 stars. It's been a minute since I've had Jamaican Oxtails with Rice and Peas. I placed an order for the large dinner entree via Door Dash. My food was delivered to me in under 15 minutes. Holy crapola if I was starving I would've been more than thrilled to have my order so soon. I've never had food delivered to me so promptly especially since moving further away from all of the good West Indian Restaurants. The oxtails were succulent, seasoned perfectly, and fall off the bone tender. Although the portion was plentiful I wish that the oxtails were of the larger variety. I had maybe three to four decent size oxtails amongst several miniature ones. The sweet plantains were some of the best I've ever had. Not only were they extremely ripe, but they were fried to perfection. The rice and peas were nothing to write home about. I didn't care for the pigeon peas used in the recipe. Also there was no coconut flavor to the rice. If the rice was made with creamy coconut milk and kidney beans I'd be a happier camper. I decided to take out the Gungo peas and mix the oxtail gravy into the rice. Nonetheless I was happy with my meal. I'd definitely order from here again. read more

Ordered pick-up 10 mins before close, was able to get medium jerk chicken and medium oxtail, both with rice & peas, sweet plantain, and mixed vegetables. Portion size was fair and decently priced. I enjoyed every bite until i saw a few strands of animal hair still om the meat on both entrees and the poorly paired steamed mix vegetables. Sweet plantains and rice & peas were on point. Jerk Chicken flavor was great, oxtail a tad bit overly sweet but still enjoyable. In the future, I hope to see their meat more cleaned and pairing the entrees w/ a different side (perhaps cabbage) will make the experience great. read more

Arrived in town in search of some oxtail. After searching endlessly, I came across G's Homestyle Cooking. I read the reviews and looked at the photos and made a game time decision. I ordered the small oxtail with white rice and festival. The Ubereats menu was a mess, so I really had no idea what I would get since the menu only showed sides of meat with regular sides (like rice & peas, white rice, etc) that you had to pay for separately. As luck would have it, I received a call from a wonderful woman who explained that I could get a large oxtail with white rice and veggies. Perfect, that's exactly what I wanted. After placing my order, I waited for 20-25 mins. The delivery guy was on a bike, and he must have had a motor on that bike because he got to me super fast. I picked up my platter and proceeded to enjoy my meal. The asthetics of the platter were pleasing to the eye. OMG, the food was pipping hot, and tasted soooo GOOD! The oxtail had the perfect amont of flavor and gravy. The meat was tender and plentiful. The white rice and gravy was a great side along with the mixed veggies. I was very pleased with my meal. So pleased that I almost finished it all and that is RARE, just ask anyone who knows me. Haha. Well done, G's I will definitely support this business in the future. read more

G's Homestyle Cooking - The End! So Delicious - Caribbean Near Me - Jamaica, New York

3.5 stars Haven't had Jamaican food in a while so ordered 2 large entrees delivered to my house. Portions are good. I tried the stewed beef and jerk chicken. Comes with peas and rice, sweet plaintains... salad or mixed veggies basically the frozen stuff. I chose salad but it's over hot rice, so not really appetizing. I've had better Jamaican food before but the food at G's was still good. The jerk chicken is saucy but I'm missing that grilled, smoky flavor. Still not bad. The stewed beef was very tender, enough for several portions. The food is too seasoned/salty for my taste so I felt really bloated after having a small portion. Instead of the mixed veggies or salad, I'd rather have cabbage or upgrade to Mac & cheese like other Jamaican restaurants I've been to. Would've liked to try their beef patties but they weren't on the menu at Uber Eats. read more

Love this place we usually order the jerk, chicken platter and the oxtail platter. Beef patties, and chicken patties are worth a try as well. This spot is pretty far away from me, but it's worth it.! read more

G's Homestyle Cooking is a testament that A) Caribbean / West Indian fare is delicious B) Jamaica is a wonderland of local businesses and C) the best kind of spots are locally owned. I have no doubt that every neighborhood could use a place like this where the food is tasty and the pretension is minimal. It is a small operation; which primarily relies on takeout with a few seats in house. The old school vibe is more than evident and the specials for lunch and dinner vary week in and out. I personally like to call ahead of time and figure out what they have before making the trek. Food does run out often. Many people have raved of the oxtail and it's every bit worth the hype. It's right up there with some of the best I've had. I would put a greater emphasis on the stewed beef, which is succulent and chunky, and is probably my favorite thing to eat here. I also can't rave about their jerked chicken and stewed chicken enough, they're worthy of consideration always. I also think their callaloo and codfish are dynamite. They go extremely well with the plantains and rice + peas. Their vegetable / spinach patties slept on often, but I do think their lunch / dinner platters are where it's at. I still haven't tried their breakfast yet, but I'm eager to make that a priority next time I'm there. Customer service is fairly good. The staff is very no-nonsense with the orders, which I can understand given their popularity. Prices are around $7 give or take for a mini platter and as much as $12/13 depending on the item for lunch / dinner. They do take credit cards and they even deliver for folks in the area. read more

Glad I fought this gem, food was delicious! We got the curry goat with rice and peas, veggies and sweet plantains, a small porridge, side of mac and cheese and a piece of red velvet cake. Everything was super good, the ladies were very nice. The restaurant is clean with NO funny smells. Cant wait to go back and taste the rest of the menu. read more

G's home style restaurant did not meet my expectations. The food lacked the bold flavors that I personally prefer. As someone who enjoys Jamaican cuisine that leaves me feeling satisfied and content, the jerk chicken I had was not even spicy enough to make me reach for a glass of water. read more

Definitely good. I had the oxtails. Large portion. Very tender not too much fat on them. That's what I liked the most. Found this place on YELP while waiting overnight for my trip. Highly recommend. Going to try the jerk chicken dish. read more

Jamaica dreaming but don't have time for the flight? Head on over to G's Homestyle Cooking. Tried the Jerk chicken mini size for $6.75 including tax which was tasty & sufficiently filling. Now onto the rice and peas- they were also flavored well although I think a sauce would help moisten it. The chicken was a little bit dry in some parts and service left much to be desired as the lady taking orders didn't so much as crack a smile read more

3.5 stars. I love the food here and the Chef is very kind. One of the workers royally pissed me off today. She gave my jerk chicken order to someone else and had the nerve to try to blame me. She had the audacity to say I should have asked him if that was my order. Lady... I don't work here. It's her job to take down names on phone orders and confirm all orders. I wanted to make a fuss but it's Easter Sunday. She needs more training. read more

How unsatisfying. Ordered breakfast via Door Dash. For starters the explanation of menu items and what the meals come with is very unclear; Although you're ordering from the medium breakfast meals menu, you will have the option of Large (extra charge), Mini (no charge) or small (extra charge), which, to me, was a bit confusing. Which one is the Medium?? Anyway, the food arrives and the bag is super oily. Why not dispose of the water from the boiled provisions before putting the callaloo & codfish! Since they did not, the boiled plantains and yams were soggy! And disgusting. G's get your doordash menu together and please be nice to your customers and drain the water from the boiled yams etc. read more

I picked up take-out here for my go-to Jamaican dishes: goat curry and oxtail. The oxtail was delicious, but the Goat curry was a little saltier than I would have preferred. Their portions are healthy and have lots of rice. There is a small number of steamed vegetables on the side too. Overall a good option for Jamaican food if you're in the area. I would go again to try their other dishes. read more

Out of curiosity, I decided to take the trip to Sutphin Blvd just to try their oxtail and I'm surprised to find myself already wondering of coming back there for another plate of oxtail... or maybe to try their Jerk Chicken. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for this place to be so far from my house. I kind of dread the travel I have to make, but at the same time if it's so close I might eat my weight in their Oxtail. Plus, the price is very good for the portion. Even though I ordered the small plate, it's actually already enough for a decent meal. In fact, if you're not a huge eater, you can order the large one ($16) and split with a friend. For $13 you'll get a plate of Oxtail with Rice & peas, Jamaican cabbage & carrot, and plantain. This is perhaps the best oxtail I've ever had (and I've had quite a lot of oxtail in a LOT of different ways), but wow! Their oxtail is so succulent, tender, and rich in flavor. The sauce is sweet with mild hint of smokiness. The rice & peas is totally the perfect accompaniment with its texture. Even the cabbage and the plantains (it's the sweet one by the way) were so good. The service was quick! I got my food ready in perhaps 10 minutes or less. It was worth the trip. read more

Wow as soon as I saw the pictures of the food when it popped up as a restaurant I should check out in my area I said no this food look good but how does it tastes....well I have been going for 3 weeks straight and I am so pleased that it has great flavors without the extra spicy but it does feel like home cooked meal and they are not stingy with the serving....the lady behind the counter is nice but serious about what you oder....get the order in so she can make you the plate....love it just like my mom back home also the decor is so afrocentric showing the strength of our past and future is so inspiring to see....I will be back soon read more

G's Homestyle Cooking - Curry Chicken, Rice and peas, Veggies and sweet plantains....all that goodness inside - Caribbean Near Me - Jamaica, New York

I ordered large oxtail with peas and rice and plantain. Boy was is delicious!! I took a special trip to this restaurant based off the reviews. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a sister at the front who took my order. My order didn't take long at all and while waiting the owner came to the front and asked if I had ever tried his food. I told him I had not, but found him on Yelp and was excited to try his oxtails. I got home and it definitely did not disappoint at all. My fat ass tried to eat the whole thing, but had to stop and thought about lunch at work tomorrow . I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Thanks chef!!! read more

G's Homestyle Cooking - Jerk Chicken Curry Goat - Caribbean Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Decent place and food but just not for me. This place can and will satisfy your hunger give it a try.

There's something about Jamaican food that speaks comfort to me. I've already tried oxtails from other places in Jamaica (Queens) and wanted to grab lunch somewhere closer to the train station this time. G's was a cozy, no-frills, mom-and-pop's type of restaurant that reminded me a lot of Southern comfort food restaurants. We got the medium-sized oxtail lunch (it's only available in M or L) which was $18 each before tax. The price is in the same price range as their other competitors but this place gave me more oxtail. The portion size was satisfying and the oxtails were packed with flavor. My only complaint is they forgot to trim off some of the excess fat so you got too much of the fat layer overpowering the meat and the sauce was a little bit on the sweet side. My little (aka my hand model in a lot of my food photos) thought the beef patty was alright. Overall, I would definitely come back for more. read more

I've only had the chicken curry here and it was very good. A small chicken curry with rice, cabbage and sweet plantains was $8. Cheaper than the golden crust a few blocks away. They give a lot of gravy which is great, the meat is soft and flavorful. Apart from the price and flavor, the service isn't great. I don't know how they are organized or how the flow of orders go but it's always slow no matter what time you come by here. I don't mind waiting for the curry though. Yummy! read more
