    First time trying this Jamaican spot and it was sooo good. Very authentic. At first I thought it was pricey, but you get a lot of food for the money. I ordered two plates of oxtails with rice and peas, plantains, plus two rum cakes and two juices. Everything was delicious. My mom and I both loved it. I found this place by just Googling restaurants near me and had no idea it was even there since it's inside an office building. You do have to pay for parking, which is a downside, and they could definitely use more signs for the building. Other than that, the food is amazing. I'll definitely be back.

    Oxtail

    Ordered oxtails on a Saturday night, it was delicious! Staff was friendly and polite. The food was served quickly. The store was clean, only a few tables open for seating.

    Brown Stew Snapper

    I ordered irie mom on door dash and it was pretty good. I got the whole fried snapper and the jerk chicken. Both were good but not the best I've had. I would go again , but I prefer Kingston's on the east side. I asked for my snapper extra spicy and it wasn't spicy at all, but they could have overlooked that. Jerk chicken was seasoned well.

    Good Jamaican food can be difficult to find these days, so I'm always happy to enjoy some Irie Mon Cafe when I'm craving some. As someone from South Florida who grew up eating all kinds of Caribbean food, I can be really judgey although I'm American lol. So when one of my fave Jamaican girlies told me that Irie Mon Cafe was her local go-to, I made them mine. This location is in a small plaza with limited parking and a tight parking lot. The restaurant itself doesn't offer any seating and is arranged for pick-up only. It's always so hard for me to choose what to order but you really can't go wrong with their jerk chicken or oxtails and next I'll try their fish. My boyfriend loves a rasta pasta and enjoyed their version when we had it last. I appreciate that they don't skimp on portions and when you order extra sauce, they load it up! Definitely one of my top spots in ATL to indulge in my cravings for Jamaican food, can't wait to try more from their menu.

    Fatty Oxtails that needed to cook for 2 more hrs
    Joseph D S.

    If you're going to serve small abortions of fatty, oxtail and dry jerk, chicken at least treat customers with a bit of respect. I just wasted $60 and I'll never be back. The only reason why I gave them one star is that they're open later than everybody else but I got my plate of food before 10 PM. The lady was rude and dismissive and they just lost me as a customer. My first time and I'll never be back in that place again. I'm not even the type of person to ever leave a review good or bad, but this rubbed me wrong. No excuse for bad service

    This is the place to come for good Jamaican food if you're looking for laid back appeal, no dress code, no fuss ordering, a food-focused establishment (no drinks/no hookah), with great service and prompt ordering. They stay open past midnight, have a variety of options, and the sauce is spicy but not overpowering. I have had the chicken and the oxtails. They also have salmon, shrimp, and curry. The seating is great for small groups, solo outings, and somewhere decent to eat and study or read. It is limited but always clean and welcoming. Food is good, served hot, they prepare it and place it on warmers, but the chicken is cut fresh to order. Tastes like the Jamaican food I've had overseas and the price is reasonable- pretty much same as other local spots. I like that it's laid back so no need to get dressed up or pay for extras just come get your food and enjoy. When you reach the location there's a metered entry to the parking lot. It's confusing to get out if you're not familiar but it's easy: just go around the side of the building and exit from the upper deck. If you want cocoa bread just ask it's not on the menu but they have it!

    Rasta pasta

    Food is flavor portions can be bigger I paid 27$ for shrimp pasta and the portion was underwhelming

    Curry Chicken
    Nandi A.

    I don't know if I just ordered the wrong thing but I did not enjoy the food. I got curry chicken and the curry was thin and just lacked over flavor.The rice and peas were soggy and the cabbage was definitely bland. The food is prepared pretty quickly though.

    I experienced their food via their food truck at the Falcons Training Camp Day event. The service was very quick as soon as I ordered. The food was scrumptious and served hot. If it ain't spicy, it ain't jerk chicken and this jerk is spicy. The rice and peas were moist and not dry--just the way I like them. I love the flavor of the cabbage as well. Everything was truly delicious. Highly recommended! The plate was $15 for tons of food.

    The first time I experienced this café it was excellent. It was so good we catered it for our holiday party however it seems to be a hit and miss now. The cashier/server seemed unwelcoming or friendly and seem like it was an issue when I asked for extra oxtail gravy on my rice and cabbage. Anyone knows White rice is dry and knees gravy. On this particular visit the oxtails were a little tough and the flavor was off but I would try them again to see if something changes.

    Brown stewed chicken
    Courtney R.

    The food was mediocre. The brown stewed chicken was dry and had no sauce and the plantains were overcooked and dry. The health inspection score is a 89 B. The staff could be more pleasant but Jamaicans have an innate attitude problem for some unknown reason. The restaurant could be cleaner looking but I guess they are doing their best. I'll stick to my spot in North Atlanta. Not impressed.

    Amazing!
    Ashley C.

    I ordered Irie Mon through Door Dash and it was great. First off, the food was packaged so well. If you've ever had Jamaican, you know that you HAVE to hold the bag from the bottom so that you don't spill any of the gravies and juices. Each container was wrapped tightly with plastic wrap, so even if the driver didn't handle it with care, the food would still be intact. It was also 11 pm, so I thought the rice would be hard and the chicken dry lol. That was not the case! The portions were amazing and everything was fresh. There was a promotion on the jerk chicken last night, so I've been eating leftovers throughout the day. If you haven't been yet, give Irie Mon a visit. Very good and I'll be back!

    Jerk Chicken Cabbage Rice
    Devon L.

    When you walk in depending on which angle you see the guy on the grill outside making the jerk chicken. Which is great they make it on the grounds of the store. It was my first time here and the lady I in the front gave great service. She was respectful honest when asked about the menu. Ambiance was good music being played clean had tables and chairs to sit and eat. If you wanted to sit down and eat your food on the scene. I definitely will be back in the future.

    Best Jerk chicken in Atlanta I've had. They have a variety that suits your palate. Try and you won't be disappointed.

    We had a wonderful experience at Poach Social! I had to change plans last minute for a loved one's…read morebirthday celebration, and when I called two days before I needed a reservation, the staff was so kind and accommodating! We had to make a decision quickly when we were pivoting, and when we came across the great reviews and photos of the food. we didn't think twice about checking to see if we could make it happen. When we arrived, the staff was already preparing our table, so we only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The space is pretty tight, and you're going to be close to the tables near you, but we were able to sit comfortably. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders, and afterward she came back to answer any questions. Most of the food was ready at the same time. We appreciated that it came out as it was ready and wasn't left sitting. And everyone enjoyed the food! The only "complaint" one of my friends had was that she thought there was a little too much sauce in her shrimp and grits dish. She felt that the sauce, while it tasted great, overpowered the dish and she would've liked to taste more of the grits flavor. All in all, I'd say we'll likely be back to try something else on the menu.

That said, the aesthetic feels less Buckingham Palace and more whimsical London antique shop -- charming & eclectic. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha and a breakfast plate. The menu names were definitely on brand, but not quite catchy enough for me to remember them later. Both were solid, though, and hit the spot. Service was a highlight. The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service. But I don't think I'll be back.

Typically I research and take a peek at the menu, photos, etc. but I didn't this time. Peters Street has ample street parking and a few lots for a fee. Just check the signs before you leave your car. The entry is unassuming because there's so many little places on this street but once you enter you're in another time! The medieval theme is super cool - a Barron greeted us at the door. Seating is casual - find a spot to sit and then order from the digital menu at the door. Orders are taken at the counter but entrees and drinks are brought to your table. The owner Josh was extremely accommodating! He gave us some tastings of coffee, tea and the French toast. 10/10! I personally ordered the Blueberry Matcha and a Bowl (done keto). Everyone's meal looked amazing and not a crumb was left. We left with some of the canned whiskey drinks - Strawberry Whiskey Sour and Kentucky Mule made with bourbon. Josh said best enjoyed mixed together! The photo opps, food, drinks and aesthetics are so good here. Only comment is that the tables are pub or cafe style and best for small groups or just takeover a section like we did. Enjoy!

Oh yeah and when my sister asked for an over easy egg instead of a folded egg, our server Bri said no. For 4 people we paid $140 all together, not bad.
