This place is awesome. This is best restaurant in the Burleson area. No joke. Best jerk chicken I have EVER had, extremely tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The rice and peas are awesome, cabbage was awesome. Sorrel drink was amazing, full of the flavor of the spices (cinnamon, etc.). Vibe is fun and service was really great. read more

This place had the best Jamaican food in the DFW!! The jerk chicken is tender, spicy, and perfect mix of sauce/gravy. Peas and rice were perfect not overly moist or dry. The cabbage still had a crunch. The meat pies...let's just say I ordered 3 to go. The pastry is flaky and not too thick and is filled with delicious seasoned meat. And they have Ting and all types of Jamaican sodas!!! Love love love this place I wish their hours would stabilized. Next time I'll try to snap a pic first. read more

Seriously exceptional and authentic Jamaican food-- huge surprise to find something this outstanding in Burleson! Highly recommend the curried goat, coco bread, and mango escape! Worth the drive if you're anywhere in the DFW. Awesome owners, great staff. Five stars. read more

My husband and I just dropped in for lunch and we are so happy we did! We love Jamaica and love jerk chicken. The chicken here was fall off the bone tender and full of flavor! We tried the Sorrel that is made in house and it was great as well! We will definitely be back. read more

The atmosphere was nice. But the food...ehh not so much. The rice ans beans were burnt and the chicken was bland. I should've made the drive to Jamaica Gates. read more

Kept driving by and wanted to try it out. So glad I did! Excellent place! I had the jerk chicken and my wife had the curry chicken. Both were amazing! This might be our new "go to" place. read more

Like the song says, your Jamaican vacation is gonna start right here. The restaurant looks like it was plucked right out of the Caribbean and dropped down in Burleson, Texas, of all places. Most importantly, the food is authentic and so flavorful. We started with coco bread and fried plantains, then ordered a chicken roti and Red Stripe pork. Everything was delicious! We can't wait to return on a warmer day so we can sit on their shady porch and continue exploring their tasty menu. read more

This is such a fun and delicious little gem tucked away in downtown Burleson. While the music and art pleases the eye the food trumps the aesthetics. We tried the jerk pork and goat curry. Both were heavenly, mon. You do need to be brave, the menu does not cater to Burleson tastebuds but sticks true to its roots, spicy and flavorful. If you don't like spice make sure to let them know or stick with the beef patties and coconut bread. But do take some time to taste a bit of the Caribbean in your backyard. Well worth the visit. We will return! read more

The meat pies are out of this world. Just the right amount of spice and nice flaky crust. I am pretty sure I will be craving these now! Looking forward to going back to try the Jerk Chicken. Owner was very nice and personable. I hope this place catches on and everyone goes and checks it out! Now I really want to go to Jamaica! read more

This place was AMAZING. My mom and I finally made it out to Jamaican Summers and it was the best decision ever. The meat falls right off the bone, lots of flavor, great people own the place, and we loved the music! I ordered Jerk Chicken and my mom got Curry Goat. Two very great choices! Go give them a visit. You won't regret it! read more

My husband stopped in today and picked up the redfish along with some other plates. The redfish is absolutely delicious!!! Cooked to order and very hot and delicious!! Had to say that again. We think this is the best Jamaican food we've had that taste very authentic. Luv that this restaurant is in our area!! We don't have to go far for a real good meal. The jerk chicken was also very good, spiced well! This will be our weekly spot for sure!! read more

The food is really good! We ordered curry chicken and curry goat. The curry goat has a little kick which is nice. I have to agree with previous post the portions are VERY small. I've eaten at several Jamaican restaurants in the DFW and their portions are twice the size. Great food but the portions are horrible! The container measures 3 in.x 8 in. for a protein and two sides! This was a delivery order. read more

3.5 stars. I wanted this place to be amazing as I'm a regular of Angie's in Fort Worth. This one is closer to my home. I had the jerk chicken with rick and plantains and it was "just ok". The plantains weren't cooked/browned enough to give the sweetest taste. I am happy this restaurant is now in the area because it gives Burleson some food diversity. The decor is really cool. I do recommend giving this place a try so you can experience something outside of your everyday norm. read more

Omg! Great food with lots of flavors! I had the curry chicken, rice and cabbage and I can't wait to go back and try more food! The meat pies are great too!! read more

Wow. We checked Yelp for Jamaican. I thought we would have to look toward Arlington. Then this gem popped up in Burleson. The Jerk Chicken was amazing. Basically falling off the bone and a level of spicy that was just the way I like it. Washed it down with a spicy ginger soda. I am hooked. read more

When you drive up there is no doubt that you have been whisked off to a town Jamaica. The atmosphere was great, the service was prompt. But the food is the real winner of this establishment! read more

Food not the best I have ever tried. Over priced for 3 people. Wait staff is friendly. The drink selection is very limited. If there is a crowd no room to move about. read more

Oh my. Where to start? I have been here twice now and have ordered the jerk chicken and curry goat. Both were outstanding. The jerk chicken is spicy tender and delicious. The goat is a little less spicy but has some kick. Friendly smiles, great food, fun environment. This is my favorite restaurant in Burleson. read more

Food was great! We had Curried Goat which my son said was not too spicy and very tender, only negative was picking through the bones and stick spices. I had the curry chicken which was also fall off the bone tender and flavorful. Fried plantains were yummy, as well as the mango drinks with a hint of ginger! Thanks for an Island get away meal read more

This place doesn't deserve the hype. Mad lame food that's costs you an arm and a leg. Listen to bredda and don't go here.

Yum! Cute place with great music and atmosphere! We highly recommend the Goat Curry and Oxtail Curry. The only reason I won't give it 5 stars it because it is a little pricey but worth it for a special date night. read more

Ordered the small jerk chicken and it was soooo good, along with the cabbage, rice and bean. The place is such a vibe from the inside-out.

Richard and Loraine are the real deal. A native of Jamaica, highly recommend theses guys. Oxtail to die for. read more

Food is good no doubts. But the price is way too high period. Well and the environment needs help.

This is a friendly and fun place that transforms you from a small town Texas street to a Jamaican island cafe with a walk through the front door. We had the Jerk Chicken, the Curry Chicken, and a meal of Ox Tail. Each dish was delicious. Each chicken dish fell off the bone and perfectly seasoned with spice throughout. The rice was a treat as well. My family and I will definitely be back for another enjoyable meal! read more

This is by far my new favorite Jamaican restaurant this side of Motego Bay and I've eaten at EVERYONE of them in the DFW metroplex area. My wife and I stumbled across this gem of a place on our trip to San Antonio. 1st Impression of the building was authentic at best. After a brief discussion with the owners, testing them on their knowledge of Jamaican food and culture, I must admit I was impressed to say the least. We ordered jerk chicken with rice and peas, and cabbage, OMG!! OMG! OMG!! We finally hit the Jamaican FOOD JACKPOT!!! We will be regulars...If you're planning a trip to Jamaica for the first time whether by Land or Sea I recommend you stop by this place before you leave to get a taste of what good authentic Jamaican food taste like..One Love!! read more

Tried this new place in Old Town and was really impressed with both the food and the owners. So welcoming, especially for newbies to Jamaican food. Everything was delicious and can't wait to come back and try the oxtail! read more

Just stumbled into Jamaican Summers for lunch. I ordered the jerked chicken with rice and cabbage. They literally had my plate ready in 5 minutes. The quality and taste is second to none. If you are a local go there often. If you are just passing thru, it's worth the time to stop. It's only 3 blocks from I-35 W. I will be back. read more

This was my first time dining here and I'm a huge fan of Jamaican cuisine! Walking into the facility was amazing! Being a pescetarian I was pleased to see they had Red Snapper on the menu. The menu showed the price being I believe 14.99 however I was advised that because of the size of the fish it would be 4.00 more. I found this a bit strange considering the price was on the menu but still ordered the food. The fish and cabbage were very tasty however I did not enjoy the rice and peas. read more

This place must still be on island time. We picked this restaurant to eat at with friends that drove almost 2 hours from out of town and they were closed at 6:30pm everything that I have read says they close at 8pm. Even on their front door it says 8 pm I can't speak for the food but the outside looked nice read more

There are not many options of Jamaican food in the area so I decided to try this place a few years ago. It wasn't too bad. So when visiting this are again a few days ago I decided to try it out again. I should of known from the moment the girl answered the phone. She sounded like she did not want to be at work and was very short, monotone, and rude. Worse customer service I've had in awhile. I thought about cancelling my order but I was really craving some oxtails! So I get there to pick up my food. The girl just stared behind her mask with a nonchalant expression. She looked miserable, I felt bad for her but this is your job so suck it up. Maybe her parents who own the place made her work and she wasn't feeling it. So on top of that I was hoping the food would at least be good. The moment I opened the container. I knew the oxtails didn't look right and would taste nasty. The gravy was thick, chalky and taste like mole. Rice was bland and dry. I've had many oxtail plates in my lifetime and this was the worse I've ever had. I will never go back to this place. read more

Love this place. We vacationed in Negril, Jamaica and this place brings me back every time we eat here. Very authentic Jaimacan food, must try if you never have. Be ready to slow down, chill, and enjoy mon'. They offer take out too. read more

We have been searching for good authentic Jamaican food for a few years now. We found it here. Amazing atmosphere and even more amazing was the food. Richard is an amazing chef and the staff are the nicest people. Highly highly recommend. Thank you Jamaican Summers for taking us back to Negril for just one evening. read more

This is a quaint place to eat, so much character and great authentic Jamaican food. The chicken curry and cabbage are amazing. Will definitely go back. read more

First time here and the food was fabulous! I had the brown chicken stew, full of flavor and the meat just fell off the bone. I'll definitely be back to try something new. read more

Great food and great atmosphere! I had the Island Blessing salad (jerk chicken), and it was wonderful! The owners are great!

This place is great and such breath of fresh air to Burleson...a nice change from the same-old, same-old eateries that are the norm around these parts. The food and atmosphere was authentic and a real delight. We will be going back! read more

Great atmosphere and welcoming customer service! The reggae band was a lot of fun! I ordered the oxtails which is my favorite thing to order at a Jamaican restaurant. They were missing that strong Jamaican flavor and I was a little displeased by the size of the oxtails and the portion size. I ordered a large thinking I would have some left over for later but that was not the case. It was a very small plate for $18. Nevertheless, if it wasn't for feeling like I didn't get my money's worth, this was an okay spot. read more

A bit overpriced compared to other Jamaican restaurants I've been to. Also it's normally more food even with a cheaper price. Food taste and presentation was excellent, I would eat here again only after I've saved up though. read more

I was originally on my way to Angie's Jamaican restaurant and when we got there it was permanently closed.. so we did a quick google search and it brought us here. We ordered to go - 2 large curry chicken and a large curry goat. The outside is really cute and unexpected. We almost drove by it twice thinking that it was something else. When we got in they had out food ready; we paid and left. My brother was satisfied with his curry chicken (the other was for his girlfriend so I didn't taste it) he had no complaints. My curry goat was extremely small to be a large. $15.99 the plate. The goat was extremely spicy and dry... I like spice and can take the heat but I also want flavor not just burning my mouth off.. I've read the other comments and it might seem like I just went on an off day. Or maybe I just chose the wrong dish. Either way my brother and his girlfriend liked their food. Me, on the other hand, was disappointed because I am a big fan of Jamaican food. I will give this place another chance when I get around to it... As for the picture- I didn't eat any goat- that is how much they gave me for $15.99. I did eat some rice and the cabbage though. And it was okay.. read more
