This restaurant has been around for years but unfortunately the food & service has gone down tremendously. Today I ordered something I ordered two weeks ago & they charged me a dollar more. Luckily it wasn't for me (because I would've walked out) & for a relative who had a taste for it. I won't be returning. read more

It's not the best Dominican spot I've been to but it's not bad. Place inside is narrow but enough seating for maybe 10 people. Options were limited or at least there wasn't much to choose from compared to other spots so I just got the Chicken Stew w/ Yellow Rice and Red Beans. It was a bit on the salty side but it was edible. The one good plus is that the food is reasonably priced. What I got plus a soda came up to $12 so for what it's worth, it's a solid cheap eat area. read more

The Beef stew is a Must Try!!! If you havebt been going to this place regularly for your dominican food fix then you need to try the Beef stew. Its so flavorful and delicious that you'll be hooked. For the keto babies you can get the beef stew without rice and beans as well. You can basically do any meat without rice and beans and eat it with some cauliflower rice or just by itself. They will also sub out the carbs for their salad. The two guys who I always see there are super nice as well. But if you want the empanadas, go early. I mean early like as soon as they open up. Because by 11/12 they're gone. I've never tried them, but I'm told they're delicious. Its ha ds down better than all the Hispanic places near by. We drive from Flushing for it. Great food made and served by nice people. A must try. read more

I would give this place a 0 if possible ... This place has been falling off for a while now , but this one takes the cake .... Firstly, I live 5 mins away from this place ... I ordered through Grubhub for food to be delivered at 1245pm and my order took almost 3 hrs to arrive (324pm) .. I called the restaurant and spoke to idk how many different people telling me that my order was already out for delivery which was a lie ... Then I told them I was coming personally to pick up my food because this is ridiculous considering I live a few blocks away and they hang up .. I don't even wanna get started on how the food doesn't even taste like Dominican cooking anymore since they have a bunch of South American guys cooking now ... Overall, a waste of time and $ ... Find another local business to support!! read more

Food was definitely tasty but I asked for more sauce and beans but they didn't provide that. I was a little upset at first but the food wasn't dry! The rice was cooked to perfection, although I do wish there were more gondules. The chicken was tender and some pieces were falling off the bone. The portion was great- especially after a nice hard workout! For now, I give my experience 3 stars, but I'd like to order from them again to give them another chance. read more

Jennifer's Restaurant - Stew Chicken - Dominican Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Mofongo Monday If you never had Dominican food, you need to try it out and put it in your food bucket list. I been wanting to have it and usually head out to Corona, Queens but this time I went to Jamaica, Queens. Hillside Ave has a lot of small hidden gems from Jamaican food to Dominican food all in one avenue. The mofongo is plantain mix with meat and I got the one with chicharron. This dish is my favorite because of the pork skin. Also, I really like how this place serve it with some stew on the side so you can add it to the mofongo. This made it moist and added a very good flavor. I also ordered the Dominican soda which is good and different from all the American sodas. It has a strawberry and kind of bubble gum flavor. I always like to try out different sodas from other countries just to see how they taste.

The best mofongo and rice an beans taste amazing every time I go very fast to serve and always fresh

You what it is, It's that their food is good in flavor but I feel like the 4 times I ordered (last 2 for pick up) I get the white rice even from the top or middle and it's a bit hard. I want to live it but idk I'm the type that if I get a weird bite or bone i get turned off by my food sometimes. It's located on the corner by the train station entrance of hillside and parsons. Service was fast and sufficient. read more

Best fish sandwich in NYC for 7 bucks. It tastes like Tilapia as however they bread it is to perfection. You can get it everyday as other items (like sancocho) are only on certain days. So they toast a hero and put mayo, salt, pepper, lettuce, tomato and green garlic sauce plus the sautéed peppers and onions (that the fish sleep with all day in the hot tray). The 2 guys working the morning shift know what they are doing. You can tell they are seasoned veterans at this. They make the best fish sandwiches. They also do it with a sense of urgency and that's a huge plus as nowadays you go into some resteraunts down da road and people are moving slower than molasses. Jennifer's fish sandwich is just so good , I recommend you try it and let me know what you think. Parking by Jennifer's resteraunt is for a skillful driver. It's right above the parsons f train stop. read more

Jennifer's Restaurant - Fish sandwich - Dominican Near Me - Jamaica, New York

I order from here thru Uber Eats. Jennifers is a staple in our house. The food is always amazing and the portions are big! My favorite is the whole chicken & pigs feet. Thank you Jennifer's for always feeding my family and myself well! read more

Who is Jennifer? I need to meet her because she can really cook! I have met a few women named Jennifer throughout the years, but I don't know if any of them can cook like this lol. It's so crazy because I have passed by this restaurant many times and even viewed it in my recommendations as a nearby popular spot. I continued to overlook this great Dominican restaurant until one day my taste buds watered for some Spanish food. I wanted something different than the usual spot I go to which had tasted salty my last few visits and since I am staying clear from the high blood pressure dishes I tried my luck somewhere else. Jennifer's Restaurant happened to be that place else and it was both taste bud and no high blood pressure approved. Jennifer's is a local favorite in Hillside, Queens located at 153-41 Hillside Avenue, Jamaica N.Y. 11432, it's a small place right on the corner, thus is hard to miss. It happens to be not too far from another restaurant that I frequent in the area so this will be another regular spot on my list. Plus, they just gained another regular customer to be so boom! double win, right? Open 7 days a week from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. you are sure to get an early start on some good Dominican breakfast or dinner just before close time. The restaurant is quite small inside, I can best describe it as very cozy; ergo about only three persons can fit at a time, even pre pandemic. The food is seen behind the thick glass despite it's fogginess from all the hot steam. During my visit there were two gentlemen working at the time who were very generous and patient. Although they didn't know it was my first time as a customer, they didn't rush me to order as I grabbed a menu upon walking in. There is a menu on the wall as well, but because of my not so great eyesight (blink, squint) I could not see it clearly. Also, the prices are up to date on the paper menu. I'm now ready to order only after just a few short minutes of browsing. I decide on the fried fish meal with rice and beans as my side order. I also asked for an order of fried green plantains but they were all out for the day (pout face). The gentleman serving my plate let me know that the fish was fried Tilapia and asked me if that was okay. "Sure, that's fine," I kindly replied, thanking him for informing me beforehand because most people would not care to tell; if any at all. I add some red beans atop my peas and rice only because I like the gravy from the beans to add more flavor to the rice. The service was great and now I am headed back home to see what my food taste like. I open it up and the smell of the Tilapia was so arousing. I first taste my rice and peas with the added beans and it was good, not salty at all. I'm glad I got the beans on top because the rice would have been a bit dry if I hadn't. The fish I dug into next and when I tell you it was extremely good and fried fresh, I could hardly tell it was fish. He gave me two good sized pieces and even topped it with pickled onions and peppers. The Tilapia was seasoned lightly but well and was still just a little crisp. The pickled onions and peppers had a hint of vinegar that brought out the flavor of the fish even more. So this is what I've been missing out on huh? It is what I have been wanting and searching for in great Spanish flavor. All this time good Dominican food was closer by than I thought. Jennifer's Restaurant is not only a place I recommend to others to try but a neighborhood favorite of locals alike. The food taste very good and the portions seem plentiful. You will be pleased with the overall service and quality of flavor. read more

After what happened today I will never order from them again. The food took too long to be delivered. Then to top it off, I open the bag and see stuff I did not order. Thinking the delivery guy made a mistake. I call to fix the situation. I tell them this order must be someone else's order. I did not order this. They then tell me they decided to give me "replacement food" without even calling to confirm. So I kindly said, I am sorry but I do not want this and asked them for something else I could eat. They then lied to me and told me no more deliveries are being made, meanwhile it wasn't even anywhere near their closing time. They did not even want to reimburse me for the food that was missing. So unless you want to place an order and get a surprise meal delivered. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

People like this food? YUCK! I got the roast chicken house special, under $10. Thursday evening, around 7pm. The chicken was DRY. Its supposed to be crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They failed.. miserably. The rice and beans, nothing to write home about and was dry. The plantain, my mom makes 1000× better. Waste of money. No thank you. I would not return. read more

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. Their food is mediocre, their customer service is trash. I placed an order through Door dash and ordered Stewed Goat, Rice & Peas, and a Mixed Salad. The Dasher complained that it would take too long for him to wait for the order. Jennifer's apparently altered my order to accommodate him and what I received was an order of Rice, Beans, and 2 Salads with NO MEAT! I called the restaurant to explain that my order was incorrect. The Spanish male on the phone was very rude and said there was nothing he could do, and that what was on the receipt is what I order. I told him there was no way I would spend over $20 for 2 Salads, and rice & beans with no meat. This place will NEVER get my money again. I wish we could be able to leave 0 stars. read more

Great, inexpensive Dominican spot. I would frequent this spot when going to get my hair done on Jamaica Avenue many moons ago. The hot food is phenomenal. It's usually the hole in the wall spots that consistently serve amazing food with large portions. This spot is small. Think the size of a standard NYC closet. There is barely any breathing room but don't be alarmed. You'll walk away with a yummy meal that does not break your pockets or wallet. read more

Horrible food they post Dominican food and they are Guatemalan. Total difference between the two. Service is okay a bit staggered and slow. It's a low budget greasy dish joint. Tight no room everyone is on top of each other. read more

Disclaimer: As a full blooded Dominican, my standards for Dominican food is pretty high. They have stepped it up with the food, cause years ago every single thing in this place was bland and/or dry!! Now, most of the food options are descent, however, I would NEVER EVER EVEEEERRRRRRR order the stew chicken cause it is lightskinned chicken. If you know real Dominican Stew Chicken, its supposed to be brown. I give it 3 stars cause they're a descent option for Dominican food when I cant get it from my other locations, but there are 2 other locations near by that definitely leave this place in the dust. The customer service is good here though. read more

Took a drive to Hillside Ave, im search of Mofongo and i ran into a small 8 seat corner take out; which barely has standing space but yet they managed to have 8 counter seats?? Really, how, whose idea was that? Anyways, i had to park my car about a block away as parking is limited and its a busy avenue with high traffic both ways. As i crossed the street, i could smell the scent of freshly made pernil and chicharrones. So i decided to try the Mofongo de chicharron and we also ordered 2 Cuban sandwhiches and mondongo to go. We had to wait a bit about 15 minutes which was not bad at all. It gave me time to snap some quick pics and see what people were ordering. Today they had oz tail, beef stew, stew chicken, boil yuca with onions, pernil and that was on the hot buffet behind the counter. Place was really clean all around as i sat on the counter and waited for my order. I recommend anyone driving to this place, hit the meter for a 30 minutes pemit. The cuban sandwhich was of a very generous size ($6) lots of pork, ham and pickles and surprisingly lean. The bread was toasted nicely and to be honest i could not eat the entire sandwhich. The sancocho was small but packed with flavor, corn, meat and the broth was excellent. You can taste the LOVE from the kitchen. The star of the show was the Mofongo, it was good given the plantains could have benefited from a little more frying but the sauce was killer and it was packed with chicharrones in the middle. While the chicharrones are not mixed into the mofongo, the chicharrones were very crispy and it was only ($14) We will definitely come back for take out. Lunch for 3ppl was $25 They also display proudly their A-grade from the NYC sanitation. read more

if i could give zero stars i would, i will never order from this restaurant again! ordered 2 plates of pernil only received 1plate and also order the beef stew and did not receive it. called the restaurant and they blamed the doordash driver and claimed that they put everything in the bag. the pernil was so dry and the beans looked like they were sitting out all day and crusted over, and the rice was so dry. This is not even the worst part, i order desert for myself and partner and was expecting to receive homemade flan and tress leches and revived store bought deserts. when we tried the tress leches cake it tasted like it was moldy!!! i almost threw up immediately. i tried the papaya milkshake and it was also disgusting it tasted like spoiled milk read more

Great food at a great price. Normally pretty busy and food is always fresh. They move folks in and out quickly so it's never a long wait. The yellow rice with pigeon peas and the yellow rice with green olives are both always fresh. I like good rice. The pernil is amazing and the servings are very generous. And if they know you they seem to always be happy to add a little extra crispy skin if you ask. They make a mean Cuban sandwich too. I like to eat half and throw the other half in the fridge - it makes a great snack later cold and it also reheats very well in the oven too. The three fellas who work the counter during the day are awesome dudes too. Always very nice and helpful to everyone. read more

Jennifer's Restaurant - Breakfast. I always crack a yoke to start. Tremendous start to any day. - Dominican Near Me - Jamaica, New York

This is a solid Dominican style restaurant in Jamaica Queens. The must haves are the: -Cuban Sandwich: solid sandwich for under 10 dollars. I'd choose this over a subway sandwich any day -Oxtail over yellow rice: how can you not order this dish? Extremely tender and seasoned perfectly -Beef stew over white rice: Tender, tasty and fair amount of food for the price -Chicharron: Who does not like fried pork belly?! A order of this will compliment any rice dish you order (eat with Tabasco sauce) read more

Best place to get breakfast in Jamaica Queens. Usually order the 4.50 breakfast special, which consists of two eggs cooked any style, homefries, and white or wheat toast. If you want to add sausage or bacon that would be like extra dollar. Service is quick and fast. There might be a small wait during peak times from 7 to 10am in the morning when people are trying to get some food before the day starts. Location is in corner of the Sutphin Blvd F train station. So if you're headed to work, this place is a great spot to grab something. Small window seating on the side. They also serve lunch and dinner. Beef, chicken stew with beans on rice is their classic staples. read more

I really wanted to love this place... I have been looking for mofongo for a while and was happy when I found this restaurant. The reviews looked good so I gave it a chance. The mofongo was just OK, they needed to give a lot more sauce to make it better. I ordered sweet plantain and it was undercooked (!). I get suspicious when a Dominican restaurant can't cook plantains. But I will give the place another chance because the other food ordered was very flavorful. read more

I chose this spot based of the good reviews. Came on a Tuesday night right before closing for takeout. I ordered the stew chicken with rice and a side of sweet plantains and my hubby had the beef stew with rice and beans. They really give you a good amount of meat and the price is very reasonable, they didn't skimp on my side of plantains either. The sweet plantains were delicious. They were perfectly fried just so the ends were a little crispy. The rice wasn't great but I'm not really a rice person. The chicken was good though I could have used more gravy over the rice, even though my husband said he asked for extra and watched them pour it over, I couldn't tell. My husband liked his beef and said his beans were really good. I'm not sure I'd come back though. It just wasn't Memorable. I gave three stars because it wasn't bad and it's enough food that I had lunch the next day but it just didn't have a lot of flavor. read more

Jennifer's Restaurant - Yummmmm this is just half! Let's share breakfast - Dominican Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Been coming here for over 10 years, and let me tell you, the food is bomb. In a place where you can barely get good Spanish food, since they're in fierce competition with the Caribbean establishments Jennifers holds their own. I always come in there for a Cubano or when I'm in the mood, some oxtails, Arroz con frijoles and the mofongo. On this side of Queens they can't be beat when it comes to good Dominican food. Elenas used to be good but they changed owners so yeah go here instead if you're on this side of Queens. Plus I heard Jose Nunez (old Mets legend) owns the place with his wife. So that's cool to know. read more
