The gospel music was playing (which I like) and the wait staff were nice. I wanted a combo meal, but they didn't serve that and had to get separate plates of oxtail & jerk chicken. The food was amazing. The jerk chicken was tender, had that deep smoky flavor and was spiced well. $8! What a deal. It comes with a side of rice & peas and cabbage. The oxtail was fall-off-the-bone tender and delicious. We had a beef patty that was good also. If I'm in that neighborhood again, I'll definitely stop by. Price: $25

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.

My friend and I visited here on Friday at 6pm. It was pretty empty, only 2 other parties were in…read morethere. Took off a star cuz the service started off poor. There were two young ladies standing behind the bar but no one greeted us. We stood by the door for maybe 5 mins before we were acknowledged and asked if we wanted to sit a table or the bar. It took another 10 mins or so before WE had to ask for a menu. After that, the young lady that served us was good and personable. The ambiance in here is pretty chill. They had a DJ that played a good mix of music. They also have a bunch of games like jenga, giant uno, connect four etc. They have happy hour M-F 4-7pm. $5 shots, $8 rum punch and margaritas (+ $1 per flavor), and $10 L.I.T, $10 wings & fries and $12 shrimp & fries (+ $2 per flavor). Drinks: We did the margaritas which are $8 +$1 for flavors. We had the passion fruit, mango, and raspberry flavors. Passion fruit was my fave, mango was a tad bit sweet but when I asked the server to add a shot to fix it, she did. Food: we had the lemon pepper and buffalo wings and fries. The wings were good but the lemon pepper flavor was light and just sprinkled on. The crab legs were really good! It's cooked in a curry sauce, I just wished they actually served it in the sauce. I had to ask for melted butter. We weren't really hungry but from the few things I had, it seems their food is good. I would go back to try some more menu items.

I took one bite, looked down, and immediately lost my appetite. The piece had dark red discoloration around the bone that looked anything but appetizing. Maybe it's harmless, maybe it's normal near the bone, but customers shouldn't have to Google whether their dinner is safe to eat. Food should make you hungry, not make you question your survival instincts. I ended up throwing it away because I couldn't get past how it looked. Between the appearance and the overall quality, this was money wasted. I won't be ordering from here again.

So disclaimer my review is strictly based on an online order. I haven't visited this establishment in person so I can't speak on service or presentation. But now on to the food... I ordered their infamous jerk chicken sandwich & oxtail Rasta pasta. So for starters the sandwich appearance wise looked sloppy. It gave sloppy joe & my food was cold. Now for the taste it did not wow me. Jerk chicken was flavor less & bland did not taste like authentic jerk chicken should. I did like the Cole slaw but that was it. The sandwich was dry too. Now as for the oxtail the meat was tough & not tender as I'd like it to be. I also did not receive much meat, I was given bones. Which is unfortunate bc a lot of ppl spoke about how great ry ry food is esp their oxtail. But I can make better oxtail than this. The pasta was good but its pasta if you mess that up, you shouldn't be in the kitchen.

So, I decided to go on Friday (9/2/26) and spent a bit of money, boy was I disappointed in the food and pastry. Do not know what is happening to the quality of the food, but it is very lacking and missing the flavors and taste from before. Quality and taste have gone down. Black pudding had so much black pepper in it, the thyme stems could choke you if not careful eating it, i just threw it out after one or two bits. Pepper pot (they should have their Guyanese card revoke), it was the worse, no flavor at all. Cheese roll missing the cheese. Tennis roll was stale the next day. I can go on, but it is not worth it. Please do better or bring back the flavor/taste/quality that the Original Sybil stand for.
