I've avoided eating here because I thought all Jamaican food included scotch bonnet chili peppers…read more Nope, not the case. Silly me. The oxtail stew was a little sweet. Ive never had oxtail before and I probably won't order it again even though it was tasty. It was a little too rich for me. The plantains were cooked to perfection and the cabbage was a surprise because it tasted almost creamy it was so good. The meat patties were coated in the traditional curried pastry and had just enough spice to have a nice kick. I couldn't tell the difference between the mild and the spicy but enjoyed sampling both. Just to give you an idea of the spice level, I usually order Indian food "mild", maybe a medium when I'm feeling rebellious. The Mac & Cheese is how I like it best. Fresh grated cheddar melted with hot macaroni. Next time I'll try the Goat Curry because I've never had goat and I'm curious about their curry. There's a hallway between them and Bays Seafood so you can order from both menus. At this time they seem to be still be set up for mostly takeout. There are a few places to sit but there is no ambiance.

The food was delicious- nicely spicy veggie plate with plenty of fresh vegetables and rice. The…read moreJamaican beef patty was typical of the dish; not bad, but not fantastic. We had ordered light because we'd had a late lunch, and this was plenty for both of us. I should have written this review sooner so I would remember exactly what we spent, but it was quite reasonable. If you're visiting the nearby Whirligig Park as we were, this was a nice little walk- just a few minutes up the road. Next time we're in town, we will definitely be back!

The reviews no matter how old are true!…read more This is not anywhere near how an oxtail plate should taste, look, nor smell (it's not bad but not like oxtail "basically boiled meat"). The meat was 3 pcs with loads of fat as you can see (thought it was dumplings ) and about 7 SUPER SUPER SUPER tiny pcs. Honestly it was very reminiscent of Golden Corrals roast flavor, look, and smell. OMG this plate is definitely a $15 option being that you're barely giving the customer anything. I will gladly pay $30 for an oxtail plate as money is not the issue but quality is what we're missing here. So let me start with I called to place a pickup order and 2 people answered. I was told to just come in it only takes 3min. I arrived and waited a hot 10. Also it was dark and very uninviting which was kind of weird. Customer service was not huge and iykyk fine. I ordered and added a beef patty of which I was told was mild. It was spicy which was ok because that's what I wanted that actually tasted fine. The sides were not tasty at all I do not trust to try any other options because this is the test for most Caribbean restaurants. In my book I'm putting a Gordon R sticker by this place as it's TOAST. Try at your own risk which is what I did but the people have spoken and for a huge first I agree with them!!! SN: if the restaurant doesn't show you the plate before you leave just know you're gonna regret it

I love their oxtails. Everything I have tried was very good, but the oxtails are my favorite!read more

Absolutely loove this place! If you haven't been, you're truly missing out. I've been in…read moreGoldsboro for two years, and I'm always ordering from here. Its started as one cook renting out a spot in a mini-mart (true definition of "hole in the wall"). My regular order? I go with a large jerk chicken with a coco bread, extra plantains on the side and steamed veggies to replace the rice (lowering my rice intake is quite hard). Every time I step into the mini-mart, the cook knows my order. So far, he has never let me down on taste, preparation, customer service and price. I keep forgetting to post pictures because I demolish my to-go plate each time. Devouring the chicken down to the bone. If you're doubting this review, lets grab a bite together. So far, this is the best Jamaican Jerk restaurant I've been to. The food is prepared fresh each time. Never had a piece of chicken undercooked or overcooked from here. I'll make sure I post a picture next week when I pick up my order. Trust me, this is the place to go to when you want jerk chicken.

The food keeps getting better. I was there for a late lunch last week and was lucky that the Mahi sandwich was the special. It was delicious. We also had Conch Fritters for an appetizer. We ate on the deck overlooking the ocean and actually got to see a dolphin swimming by! Service was great and I could tell they really pitched in and got the table next to ours cleaned off quickly when the patrons left their table. I'll definitely be back ASAP.

Dined in last Wednesday night. We got a table on the balcony overlooking the beach after about a 30…read moreminute wait (this was the highlight of the night). Our waitress (Nicole) was very overwhelmed and slow. She was nice enough when she came around but the service was not great. Now the food...we had appetizer bacon wrapped scallops they were good. But the dinners were awful. The Key Lime Shrimp and Lobster pasta was inedible; I really should have sent it back. It had no flavor other than bitter lime (and I love lime!) I see after reading reviews I am not the only one to have this complaint, probably should remove it from menu. The blacked ahi tuna had good flavor but was cold as was the quinoa (not sure if it's supposed to be served warm or cold). Our son had a filet which he enjoyed. Our girls got a side of fries and they were $8 which is crazy to me (no cheese, no toppings). Overall was highly disappointed. Was a waste of $150. It's a shame because it's a great location but the service lacked as did the food.

I spoke with Calvin a few times and planned a fantastic meal for our family of 18. He pulled his truck into our rental home's driveway and fired up the smoker, which filled the air with heavenly smokey and meaty scents and Jamaican beats. After about 5 hrs, the food was ready and we were treated to jerk chicken, jerk ribs with or without sauce, and rice and bean bowls. The food was nothing short of fantastic and delicious and Calvin and his wife were so friendly and wonderful people. We will DEFINITELY be calling for our next trip down here!! Thanks, Calvin!

The portions were huge so you get a really full meal for a pretty good price. The jerk chicken was perfect. Spicy, with a hint of sweet on a bed of rice and beans. My only disappointment was with the sides. I ordered fries and plantains and I dunno if it was because we ate late in the day, but the sides were bitter and tasted like burnt oil. Still, I came for the jerk chicken and it delivered in spades. I'll definitely come back here again earlier in the day and order some different sides with my meal.

Maybe it was because we got what was left over from the day, because it was a half hour before closing. But even if that were true.... there was barely any chicken, mostly bones. And it was so spicy, I couldnt taste the chicken. All it was, was burning my mouth. The pasta sauce was overspiced as well. My husband received a very small portion of trout. No rice was given, as it was supposed to be. I think maybe they were out of rice. So he was given a piece of cornbread, wrapped in plastic wrap. He gave it to me because i was so unhappy with my meal, I barely touched it. The cornbread was so oily, it fell apart when i took it out of the plastic. I got to taste the cabbage and cole slaw, those were ok. Cabbage was bland. I dont think we will go back and try again. Way too pricey for what we received. Positive note, the staff was kind and friendly, and the place was cute.
