    Parking: Free I went on a Sunday and the place was empty. The actual mall strip its located in all the other businesses were closed. The food was delish, seasoned well. They had a dj spinning great music. They have a nice large patio which faces a pretty green space that is well manicured. The staff was nice and pleasant. The server gave us samples to try a few of the juices they had. They also have inside seating and a nice bar area. Definitely will be back 4

    Jerk chicken salad

    My coworker and I stopped by Kingston grille for lunch and loved the location! The outside/patio area is really nice and gives you the feeling of being in the Jamaica. The service was good; she understood our tight schedule and got all the food out quickly. It was my first time trying a jerk salad but it was nice and they give you a ridiculous amount of chicken. The beef patty was amazing and one of the best I've ever had! The only negative was that the oxtail taco was lacking flavor, but the mango chutney that came with it gave it a burst of flavor. I look forward to coming back and trying more of their food and some drinks!!

    Wow a nice hidden gem ! Came here on a Friday night ... wasn't crowded but we were promptly seated. Our waitress was very nice and we ended up getting x2 brown stew snapper with rice and peas and cabbage , Mac and cheese and one ox tail with rice and peas. ALL of it was amazing. Only thing I would say on the menu it did not say spicy for the snapper but it was spiccccccyyyyy ! But I still loved it lol it was full of flavor but it was very spicy. Now the cake I didn't care for the cake it wasn't sweet but it was moist. They had a live DJ playing ALL reggae form old school 90s reggae to the newer stuff. I am very happy and will return !

    Kingston Grill did not disappoint. I ordered the braised oxtail, and it was everything it should be--tender, flavorful, and clearly slow-cooked with care. The meat was fall-off-the-bone good, rich without being heavy, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell this is the kind of dish that's made with intention, not rushed. And let's talk about the rum punch smooth, well-balanced, and dangerous in the best way. Not overly sweet, just the right amount of kick, and a perfect complement to the meal. Overall, the food had that authentic, comforting Caribbean flavor that keeps you thinking about it after you leave. If you're in Atlanta and craving real Jamaican food with great drinks to match, Kingston Grill is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back.

    I had a great brunch with my family we were celebrating my daughter pregnancy and the food was delicious I had fried snapper rice and peas and plantain my daughter had brown stew snapper and rice and peas vegetables with plantain my Son in law had oxtail and rice and peas really good beautiful restaurant

    The restaurant is located on the side of the road in an unassuming strip mall. It is easy to miss if you are not looking for it. They have an OK sized parking lot. I entered and was greeted warmly, then asked if I wanted to sit in a booth or out back on the heated, covered patio. Since I was waiting for my friend, I chose the patio. The patio was warm, clean, and covered, with Caribbean music playing in the background and they even had an Instagram photo wall set up. I looked over the beer menu while I waited and ordered a Red Stripe to keep with the Jamaican and Caribbean theme. They had about eight beer offerings of the usual suspects. My friend arrived shortly after and ordered a ginger beer. He had been here before, so I asked what he usually gets. He recommended the jerk chicken meal, which he ordered again. I thought about also ordering the jerk chicken and asked how spicy it was. Our server said it really wasn't spicy like some jerk chicken dishes are, but it was well seasoned with the traditional spices. I also asked about the curry chicken meal, which is usually my gauge for a Jamaican restaurant and she said that it was actually more spicy than the jerk chicken meal, so I decided to go with that. We were catching up from the last time we had seen each other when the food arrived, surprisingly fast. Everything came out hot and looked great. We dug in and had no complaints. At first, I thought my curry chicken needed more seasoning, but as I kept eating, I tasted the authentic flavors as well as the promised spice. Our server was a winner!. She was friendly and checked on us often. Even the manager stopped by during lunch. This place is a hidden gem. I never would have known about it if it wasn't for my friend's suggestion. Great food, clean space, and excellent service. I would definitely come back.

    Consistency I have been here several times. I have been for food and I have been to entertain. I continue to enjoy their atmosphere and customer service!

    Braised Oxtails & Beans
    Janell H.

    Stop in on a Sunday afternoon. It was calm not many folks; 4 tables including ours. There was a live dj which was good. We sat on the back patio; cute set up. For it to be empty our drinks took a while and the food was not hot. Room temperature at best. The Braised Oxtails & Beans were good. They actually had more meat than fat which is greatly appreciated. I didnt try the jerk pork but my company said it was delicious and quite tender. I would recommend and I would visit again.

    Grilled Salmon Entree
    Symoni L.

    We went to Kingston Grill on a Friday night. Restaurant wasn't that busy the waiter took a bit long to assist us. Not sure why but the front of the area wasn't full. We finally got seated and we placed our food and drink orders. I ordered the Salmon Entree with steamed cabbage, plantains and white rice. I know I came to a Jamaican restaurant and didn't order oxtail ℓℓ. I know. But i wanted to try something different and they made my change worth it. My salmon entree was great. I ate every single piece. My partner had the Oxtail tacos as you see in the video in my clips below. He said this his 3x ordering them. I also had a Lemon Drop. Ambiance of the place is very simple to me didn't like the bathroom being right at the entry door but I can fix the building layout. Overall I will return possibly I'll try to attend there Brunch next time

    The first time I visited, I visited after attending a family member's funeral and my company consisted of my daughter and first-cousin (I hope Yelp will show that review as well. Because I'm not from the area, I decided to Yelp a spot where I could order some pasta. Well, long story short, I had dined here before and it was not the same. When I arrived there were 3 other guests. I ordered Chardonnay and it looked like beer to others and pee to me )I'm a healthcare professional). Compare the photos. I politely asked to send the wine back because it looked old and opened and ordered a mimosa. You guys, I was honestly just trying to kill time before my daughter's game. The mimosa tasted bad as well. So I decided to do what seemed natural, send the drink back and ask for a drink that doesn't not come from an opened bottle of wine/champagne and request a business favorite. The Rum-Punch was 10x better and the pasta with oxtails was even better!!! My rating remains the same. Go try it for yourself!

While I favor the jerk pork, it's really hard to miss with any of their menu items. I've also tried the oxtail, the brown stew chicken, and a few other dishes. If you like beef patties, I would go early in the day because they are so flaky and fresh, and they're almost guaranteed to sell out...you've been warned!

I had to move the oxtails to get the little juice to put on my rice, ugh.If you wanted extra sauce there was a upcharge.(REALLY)The oxtails were tender but lacked flavor.The plantains were DRY. Only took one bite. The cabbage was tender but still had a little crunch..I liked that..but cabbage is my FAVE VEGGIE. Sorry to say I got no Island Vibe from this place. I was disappointed . You go try it and I will SYOY.

The relaxing sounds of Jamaican music emanating out of the speakers makes you feel like swaying as you read the menu... The server asked if we found anything we liked.

They let you swap out the side dish if you like. Again, so customer-friendly! The goat was pure perfection, tender off the bone and flavorful. The curry mixed with the jasmine rice was simply heaven. The salmon was thick and tender with lots of flavorful. The quinoa was light, fluffy and flavorful. Both portions were enough to fill you up!
