I was very disappointed with my recent takeout order from Hot Off De Grill. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While I did not dine in, the business has clean booth seating and the service was excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the jerk pork entrée with rice and peas, topped with oxtail gravy and cabbage. Unfortunately, the jerk pork container was layered in a way that felt misleading. The top portion had fresher, tender chopped pieces, but underneath were tough, burnt end pieces that were difficult to chew and enjoy. It seemed like the better pieces were placed on top while the bottom was filled with overcooked scraps. I understand it may have been later in the day and food could have been limited, but quality and consistency should still be maintained. I've had better experiences before, which made this one especially disappointing. read more

Good food, similar to what I am accustomed to. I ordered brown stew chicken, jerk chicken and curry goat. Service attitude just like I am accustomed to. i could not relate the prices on the wall to the prices I was charged but I didn't ask. I think the prices were on a TV that kept changing as I was trying to read. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was disappointing. From outside it seems colorful, new and pretty. Inside is drab. It is an arrangement than encourages take-out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Our experience started with excellent customer service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was very clean, lots of food choices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the Stew Leas which were delicious. My grandson devoured their ox tails which were super tender and well seasoned. Overall this place is... A M A Z I N G read more

Let's talk about it. I dropped off my daughter 10 mins away for a birthday brunch with her teen friends. I was craving Jamaican food and my son was willing to try it out for the first time. I found this place on Google and I'm glad we chose this location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff was really nice place and place looked pretty clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the oxtail meal, jerk, chicken, and jerk pork. Was it pricey? Maybe a little bit, this cost about $60 including two drinks. For the price, I would've appreciated more than 2 plantains in the oxtail meal. The oxtail could've been richer, didn't cook enough for the gravy to stick and they were majority small pieces of oxtail. I've made better oxtails at home, but I'm low key a chef. Let's go back to the gravy, delicious! I wish I had more on the rice and peas. The jerk pork was the star of the whole meal. Make sure to have them toss the pork in the jerk and get a side of jerk sauce! The chicken was too tender, had a bourbon chicken from the food court texture. I'll be back if ever around the areas. read more

The food is tasty and the prices are very reasonable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurants clean and everybody there is extremely nice and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely recommend this. read more

One of the few places to get legitimate Jamaican cuisine. Line was really long and service was slow on a Saturday around 4pm, so have that in mind when ordering. Other than the long line the food was pretty good. Ordered the jerk chicken, Mac n cheese, goat curry and plantains. The jerk chicken was okay, but the goat curry was delicious! It offered great spice and flavor in the curry and it went well with the plantains and Mac n cheese. read more

Was in the neighborhood & my ex wanted Jamaican food so my brother suggested this restaurant. Warned us that is was a little pricey. Gave it a try. I'm plant-based so I just had the rice & peas with a side of mango coleslaw & two pieces of ripe plantains. The rice was delicious all by itself. Soft & flavorful. The mango slaw was also delicious. Plantains were, well, plantains. My ex had oxtails with rice & peas plantains. He wasn't a fan. Said the oxtail was "old" but the rice & the plantains were good. Overall, it was satisfactory. Not the best but not the worst. read more

I REALLY wanted to love this place! Jamaican food is scarce in these parts. We do have ONE Jamaican restaurant but if you go there after 5 pm, they are usually out of almost every item on the menu so I don't go often. Anywho, I have been seeing this little new spot in the BK plaza on Pines Blvd and decided I had to stop in. It's rare that you see a Jamaican menu with jerk shrimp and jerk fish. I'm a pescatarian so that's music to my ears. I walked into a very clean restaurant with pleasant people greeting me from behind the counter. I ordered Jerk Shrimp (w/rice & peas, plantain) and a side of the Cole slaw with mango. I paid $13.99 for the meal and another 3 bucks for the slaw. They told me the shrimp is made to order...impressive. I only waited about 6 minutes or so and I was on my way. I had errands but I was hungry so I took a minute to eat in the car. Upon first glance of my meal, honestly, it did not look appealing but that's not a deal breaker. Taste: the jerk shrimp was very light in color and didn't appear grilled or marinated at all. It had a wet look (which I'm not accustomed to when thinking "JERK". It looked more sautéed than grilled and it tasted...well...weird. It had a chemical taste which I realized after a few bites, was ginger. I love ginger but the ginger on this shrimp tasted like it came from a package and not like real ginger. I personally did not like the shrimp. The Rice: I grew up in south Florida but I've been to Jamaica many times and I've had rice so amazing you could eat it just like that with nothing on it. My rice tasted very dry and not very good at all. I didn't get the nice coconut flavor. Maybe it was there but I only tasted hints of what may have been coconut milk but I wasn't sure. The plantain: it just tasted either old or it was the frozen kind. Fresh sweet plantain is unmistakable. I know there are a lot of places that do frozen but in Miami (or south Florida) ...a tropical paradise, fresh is the only way to go. The Coleslaw: is still in my fridge 2 days later. I took 2 bites. It wasn't horrible BUT it tasted like store bought slaw dressing with mango chunks. That's all. I don't like leaving bad reviews and like I said, I wanted to love this place. I have always LOVED Jamaican food but again, it's hard to come by out here. Guess it's back to driving east to get good Jamaican food. This makes me sad. I had hope for this place. read more

Sad to say that Ruchi Indian Restaurant has permanently closed, but happy to say that a nice Caribbean restaurant has taken its place. The staff was super friendly and food was ready pretty quickly. Order the Hodg Jerk Chicken and the meat was pretty tasty! Came with mushy rice and red bean and steamed cabbage. While the jerk chicken tasted great, the rice and cabbage was ok. Felt like the meal just need a little more sauce. The Portland curry goat was pretty good. Prices are a bit higher than expanded, but hey that's what you call 'inflation'. Definitely will be back for the Oxtail option! read more

Finally! It's about time they opened a decent hole in a wall place in the neighborhood. I had to try both oxtail and curry chicken. Did not disappoint, hit the spot. The service was a little slow but it's Caribbean speed . I didn't mind because their food was off the chain. I would definitely come back whenever I'm craving for Jamaican food. read more

This is my first time walking in this restaurant and was shocked and disappointed by the appearance of the food service station. There were gravy spills and rice grains everywhere. The food was left uncovered. Not very sanitary. It wasn't that busy so I don't understand why no one tried to clean up. I must say the jerk pork and chicken is very good. Probably the best in the area. But it concerns me the way the food is stored and displayed in front of customers. Clean up and have some pride HOT OF DE GRILL! read more

After striking out finding jerk chicken at another Jamaican joint the other day, I got real excited to try this spot. Without consulting Yelp, we decided it was worth a shot. I was disappointed by the jerk, it did have a nice heat, but the sauce was oddly syrupy and sweet (thankfully after it mellowed for a day in the fridge it was better). We ordered a whole chopped jerk chicken and a small rice and peas. This must have been a deformed chicken, because it had at least 5 drumsticks and almost no breast! The rice and peas was great, but I really wanted some amazing jerk sauce to smother on my rice. All in all, I would come back to try again in case it was off jerk day, but definitely not the jerk I was hankering for at all. read more

Great taste of Jamaica you can't go wrong .1st time I have been offered jerk chicken with or without bone.

The soup is like country kitchen good... I went in for a meal and came out with a soup, fry chicken, a salad and stew peas. read more

Hot Off De Grill - Red peas soup - Caribbean Near Me - Pembroke Pines, Florida

Right in my neighborhood, with lots of large parking spaces right outside since it's at the far end of the Sedano's building. Large portion for my half chicken jerk with soft dense sandwich bread for free (two slices), and extra containers of their sweet, HOT, molasses and clove sauce which go great with both meat and rice. My wife and I make two meals of it at home with our own sides. Pickup was to be ready in 30-40 minutes, though at a 40 minute arrival, it was awkwardly hard to get a clear indication of why I was waiting, though ten minutes later out it came from the kitchen and I was on my way. I've had their other dishes in months past, and have never been disappointed, only a bit perhaps in the hugely inflating prices. But again, amounts are large and a good value when that's considered. All said, I definitely recommend this place, read more

Great Jamaican food , awesome lunch specials . Jerk is on point , brown chicken stew is the way to go

Delicious! I ordered the jerk chicken, rice and peas with coleslaw. The coleslaw was refreshing! The chicken, rice and peas were very tasty. The woman preparing my order added gravy from the oxtail to my rice - delicious. It was pricey but happy to have a new dining option in the neighborhood. I hope they do well. read more

Good food, pleasant service (unusual for a Jamaican restaurant). Excellent ox-tail and stew peas

Second time coming here the curry goat is amazing very good portion size too. But both times coming I'm always charged a different price from what the menu says menu says 12.99 for a small curry goat was charged 38.50 today for two small meals. The time before was charged 48 for a small and a large. They never offer a receipt and customer service is not the best. Food is amazing though. read more

The best Jamaican food in town! Make sure you call ahead for the fresh roasted fish. Good service, fresh food. This is my family's favorite new spot! Thanks for cooking lunch and dinner for us!! read more

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Everything was super good. The service was great. And the ambiance and good 5 stars.

To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I ordered takeout. Jerk pork with no bread and I also ordered stew peas and got three little pieces of meat. But no discount on the price. This is the type of restaurant where you need to be in person to see them make your food. Do not order takeout. read more

I always come here for the jerk pork. Really good value. Quick and good for lunch. The jerk sauce isngood

I'm downgrading my review from a previous one, this being my 4th visit. I really like the Jamaican food here which is all very tasty. I don't drink soda, fruit juices, and many other unhealthy beverages - water is what I drink the most, tap luckily is very good here in Pembroke Pines. My meals here avg $10-$15 and have always asked and gotten a cup of tap water, with and without ice. On this visit, today Sat 9/17, I was told that they only serve bottled water, which is a LIE! Right in front of the cashier is a stack of white Styrofoam cups and to the left is a sink with faucet, in the back directly behind the cashier is the ice and other faucet, where my water has come from in the past and did today. When I returned for a refill, a different employee was behind the register and told me the same thing, ridiculous this awful customer service may have lost a customer because of this read more

I always wish that there was a good Jamaican Restaurant in Pembroke Pines and I thought this would be the based solely on on how clean it is. Today I ordered two large containers of chicken soup and I was shocked that it was served in what appears to be a one cup container or maybe a little bigger. The cost of the two soups $17.10 including a "BOWL FEE" of $2 each for the pleasure of taking home the food in a container and not your hand. This is the height of absurdity, does that mean I could have saved $4 by taking home my own container? I tried to order online, but there is a minimum order to avoid "take out fee". As much as my dream for a Jamaican Restaurant in Pembroke Pines came through, I will never allow myself to be "nickle and dime" by any business. read more

if this is the best jamaican around i dont want to try the rest.....Oxtail was hard , more fat than meat , hard in pieces white rice , 2 plantains only.............u want great Oxtail? La Carreta Miramar , better all around !!! more meat less fat , a lot more plantains and the rice cook correctly .......ohhhhh and is $4 cheaper..!!!!!!! and you have 60 other plates to choose if u dont want Oxtail.... hot off grill oxtail sauce will put your stomach upside down, never ever again, if u need any more details go to a detailing store.......but like i said , 1 star and thats because to compose the review u need to at least give 1 star, but im a bussines man and i can cook , i mean , i can cook....and when a place is bad is bad , there shouldnot be grey areas, then again we are living in a country filled with grey areas!!!! thats why the country is in chaos , thank s to the joe biden effect grey area... read more
