    Chicken and waffles
    Shanyce J.

    For my birthday brunch, my husband took me to Jouvert in Atlanta, and let me tell you--it was the absolute BEST decision! The food here is truly next-level; an unforgettable meal that blends classic brunch with vibrant Caribbean flair. Our table had the Shrimp and Grits, the perfectly tenderized Chicken and Waffles, and their show-stopping French Toast. Every bite was truly delicious. The Caribbean flavors truly elevated the dish, giving it a perfectly balance of sweet and savory. We went during brunch hour, and the atmosphere was wonderful. The decor was modern, but still showcased the Caribbean style. The Rum Punch is a must try. Our waiter was so attentive and provided her take on different dishes to try on the menu. If you are looking for flavorful food and a great time in Atlanta, Jouvert is the spot. We are definitely planning our next visit soon!

    J'ouvert Caribbean Kitchen & Bar in Atlanta never misses. Every time I walk in, the energy hits you first, then the hospitality seals the deal. Their bar manager, Tatianna, sets the tone; she's warm, friendly, and runs that bar like a pro. You feel taken care of the moment you sit down. The food? Serious heat. The snapper is flavorful and flaky, the jerk chicken is smoky with just enough kick to remind you you're in a real Caribbean spot, not some watered-down imitation. Everything comes out tasting like someone in the kitchen cares. And the cocktails stand tall. The piña colada is smooth and creamy, no artificial nonsense. The Hornitos tequila cocktail has that perfect tropical punch without being overly sweet. But the star for me was the Haku Japanese vodka cocktail; crisp, balanced, and dangerously easy to sip. If you're looking for a place with great vibes, great service, and a menu that actually delivers, J'ouvert deserves a spot in your rotation.

    2 Eggs Applewood Smoked Bacon waffle

    Brunch with friends during MLK weekend. The waffle was crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside. It held up to the butter and syrup very well. The bacon was perfectly crispy and the eggs weren't overcooked. Playoff games were on the tv. The music was a little too loud for my preference but other guests were enjoying it! The service was attentive without being overbearing. I was with a party of 12. Food didn't sit to wait on our server to bring it. Other staff ran food out while it was hot. Garage parking nearby was cheaper than street parking. I'm almost never on that side of town but would definitely drop in again and recommend to others.

    Enjoyed a great Sunday brunch at J'ouvert! I called for a table for 10, and they were great about having our table ready when we arrived. We had great service and the ambiance was great! There is a DJ and bottomless mimosas. We had a lovely server as well. I want to come back for brunch buffet on a Saturday. My chicken was dry on the chicken and waffles. Jerk wings and the hash looked good.

    Stopped by J'ouvert afterwork to checkout their $5 after work happy hour and it did not disappoint. I arrived before my friend so I sat at the bar and enjoyed one of the fresh margs and the service was great. The bartender was attentive and helped me close out my bill quickly once my friend arrived so we could be seated in the dining area. My friend and I decided to order the entire happy hour menu so we could try one of everything and split the bill at the end, and it was perfect! The dj and ambiance were a vibe! The cocktails and chicken veggie dumplings were my favs for sure! I'll def be back soon!

    Have you ever had an oxtail grilled cheese sandwich? If you haven't displace will change your life. The service is amazing. It feels like I'm at home. Eating a great meal. The drinks are great. I love the bartender here!

    Returned for dinner on Saturday with my Caribbean friends because they wanted to check it out and catch a vibe. They were running behind so I sat at the bar and ordered a drink and appetizer. I had the Oil Me Down again and the Juju Golden Fritters recommended by the bartender Ken. I wasn't a big fan of the appetizer. It tasted like they were missing something. I figured adding more curry chickpea coulis would do the trick, but it didn't. Once my friends arrived, they placed their drink orders with Ken and then we relocated to a table. To be honest, it was difficult to find something on the menu after the appetizer so I played it safe and ordered the Jouvert Spring and added shrimp. My Trini friend enjoyed their doubles. My Jamaican friend ordered plantains and jerk chicken and thought they were decent. Our meal was ok. It was pretty pricey, but then again, what isn't these days. As always, the staff is always friendly and attentive but this wouldn't be my first choice to grab a meal and catch a vibe on a Saturday night. Music: They didn't have a dj (he leaves after brunch) and they played amapiano while we were there. Parking: Paid parking in the garage or on the deck. Overall, it wasn't the vibe we were looking for on a Saturday night. Which was a bit disappointing.

    Came for the Happy Hour specials - $5 drinks and small plates - with a friend. Sat at the bar while waiting for my friend as they don't seat incomplete parties & decided to stay at the bar as the bartender, Shelby was the absolute best! All the staff were great and friendly. I only had the food specials but the dumplings and beef patty were both very tasty. My friend's street corn was plated nicely. They also have Carib beer. I don't drink beer but my Trinidadian friend was so excited that they had it. The rum punch was A1! The layout and decor of the restaurant is very chic and nice. It looks very nice inside and outside. They have patio seating. Paid Parking is available on the street and in the deck. I will return!!

    Happy Hour Menu

    We found one of the best happy hour spots right off the Lindbergh Beltline. A selection of $5 drinks and bites from 3-9pm on weeknights and might I say that the selection is worth the stop. We had 5 apps and 5 drinks for $50 on a date. Where else can you do that??? It's also one of the few places in Atlanta that serves Prestige the Haitian beer which my fiancé was super thankful for. We told the staff it was our first time and the waitress was so kind and really made sure we had a great experience. We sat at a table near the bar and the setting is super tropical with fresh plants and flowers throughout. The waitress mentioned the spot is popping during the summers. Anyway to the best part -- THE FOOD! We tried the jerk wings, Jamaican patty, chicken dumplings, street corn and cod fritters. Honestly it's hard to pick a favorite everything was so good I would eat it twice over. I can't wait to stop by for a full dinner experience soon or they also have a bottomless brunch on the weekends! All in all this is where Caribbean food meets southern hospitality and an overall great vibe 10/10 recommend this to anyone who lives here or is visiting!

    Ms. Necia SAVED MY BIRTHDAY! I came here after a reservation at a nearby restaurant went awry. Ms. Necia saw how stressed I was and went above and beyond in her service--i was SO relieved by the end of the evening! We had the codfish fritters, shrimp appetizer, chicken dumplings & the steak sandwich. The food was beyond incredible. I'm of Caribbean descent and it's been so long since I had codfish cooked like my Grandma's. I had the ginger cucumber cocktail beverage and we also ordered a house margarita. Every single item we had was SO good and they took such good care of us. They even offered to take pictures of us for my birthday. The ambiance was great as well, everyone around us seemed to be having a good time and it was such an easy going atmosphere. I had so many rough things happen to me that day but by far, my experience at Jouvert was the best way to end my birthday. I'm excited to come back and I just know the brunch will be fantastic!! They will absolutely be seeing me again. Thank you so much!!

    They have a brunch buffet on Saturdays!!!!!! There is free 15 minute parking if you just want a take-out order. There are plenty of parking garages for dine-in. I think I only paid $2 for an hour of parking. The place is extremely clean on the inside and smells really nice. Both servers were nice as well. I came here thinking I would order a simple dish when I discovered that they have a Saturday Brunch. I was able to try the Yahd Man chicken, fish nuggets, sauteed shrimp, creamy grits, bacon, plantains, pancakes, eggs, and pancake toppings. Everything tasted amazing and is well worth another visit.

    Beef patty
    Kien H.

    So this was a really cool spot to try some Caribbean food. I didn't have any complaints and I did try quite a bit on the happy hour menu (just about everything lol). It's very nicely decorated and there's plenty of staff walking around. You have to pay to park in the uptown area so you're probably paying under $15 for 2 hours. But there's parking right in front of the building so at least it'll be easy to access it, if not, there's other places around and structures around to park at in that area. I came for happy hour and tried a bunch of things on the menu. They have a lot on the menu including food and drinks but I was just coming for the jerk chicken honestly LOL. This will be a cool spot to try happy hour at if you are in the area. The happy hour is from 5:00 to 8:00, so that's a much longer time than anybody else. A lot of times people will try to in their happy hour at maybe about 6:00 or so, but this one goes till 8:00. So this is actually really really good. When I went there weren't a lot of people there, but I hear us the night goes on and as the weekend gets closer to get some a little more packed so keep that in mind. Street corn - The street corn was good. It was not a really big portion, it was basically like a half of a Cobb split into. So aside from the portion it was pretty decent flavor. Jerk wings - The jerker wings were good. They came in about four for the happy hour portion. Now you can get more if you'd buy the full portion, but you have to balance out how much you're getting versus the price that you're paying per wing. The wings came in a sauce that was all over the the plate but to me that it wasn't tossed in the sauce. Because you basically tasted the char on the chicken but not the actual jerks seasoned sauce. So I had a remedy for that but I'll get to that in a second. But you most likely will have to get a side of sauce to help it along. Because without the sauce, the chicken only taste like chicken. Jamaican beef patty- The beef patty was okay. It wasn't anything I would go back for. The meat. Seemed like it was super seasoned and hot and fresh, but the pastry didn't seem like it was hitting on all cylinders. It tasted almost like it was store-bought or something on those lines. LOL. I'm not sure, and I couldn't put my finger on it, but something about the pastry seemed a little bit odd. It wasn't terrible but it was just something different about this that stood out in my mind when I was eating. Chicken veggie dumpling - the chicken and the veggie dumpling situation was really really good. They were fried a little hardrer than what I would like them but they were very flavorful and the sauce that they gave was amazing. They came with four of them for the happy hour price. Now here is what I mentioned earlier, the teriyaki sauce you get with the dumplings goals on everything. It was good with the beef patty, it was good with the jerk wings, it really made everything better! This sauce is a major key alert!

    Atmosphere and Ambiance were amazing. It smelled wonderful and tasted even better. Took my Mother In Law here and she really enjoyed. We went on a Saturday for brunch about 11:30 and at that time it wasn't busy but as 1p rolled around it became a pleasant busy. For the brunch menu they offer buffet style cuisine. The jerk chicken was good, tasted more like a rub than a sauce. The rice and peas, fish, and shrimp and grits were perfect. They also had bacon and pancakes and other side options. The bottomless buffet was $30 or you could get bottomless mimosas deal for $50. They serve the regular menu on other days but for Saturday morning it will be buffet style. We parked in the garage across from the Marta, Lindbergh Station, it costs $10 but there is 20 min parking up front. The walk was short from the garage. They had a live DJ which he played great music! The whole place is cute, clean, has a full service bar and specialty drinks. The staff were so nice and accommodating. I will be venturing back there, it was such a vibe!

    Do they have free parking?

    No, there is some limited parking right in front but we had to park in the parking deck for $10.

    Did they charge your automatic 15 or 20% gratuity on all checks.?

Having dined at Elektra already this weekend, we wanted to try something different. Hostess started with some type of unposted dress coded nonsense because my son was in a hoodie (which he agreed to remove) before we were granted access.

Proceed to order numerous dishes from the menu to-go. Bar tenders, in fairness, were very pleasant btw. Nowhere to wait except standing there like idiots until bartender says we can sit in a reserved section for a bit. Nasty waitress comes by soon after to usher us away, despite conflicting instructions from the bar. Anyway, insult to injury when it appears I've been charged a service charge and a gratuity charge and the dishes were small and mostly not great. The wings were ok, but the grilled cheese was gross, the flatbread was minuscule, the cheese plate was meh. Overall, between the mostly rude to indifferent staff attitude, lack of seating, and poor quality of food this place deserves a pass. ,

To start off we got drinks: lychee martini 10/10 & "cucumber salad" 8/10. Both were very good. The ingredients used make the drinks very intriguing and definitely something you've probably never tasted. It's suggested to keep an open mind when trying their cocktails. For food we had the shrimp wontons 10/10 (sauce was so good ... a little spice to it), the salt and pepper shrimp 8/10 (a little salty but fried well), the Thai basil fried rice 10/10 (the fried egg on top and the pickled cabbage was a great touch), and last the lobster pot 10/10 (presentation alone would make me go back to visit ... this dish was so good and flavor full).
