The food is absolutely incredible. I've never left disappointed. If you don't know what to get, it genuinely doesn't matter, I don't care what they have available I get it and it's always good! Seriously. Only open 3 days a week. The atmosphere is cool, they are normally playing some awesome Jamaican Jesus music read more

Milly’s Authentic Jamaican Restaurant - Baked Chicken, beans & rice, cabbage, fried plantain - Caribbean Near Me - Kingsport, Tennessee

The sign on the front of the building is easy to see. There is limited street parking in front of the building, but we were able to get an open spot. There is also a gravel and grass lot in the rear of building down the side street. You would need to walk about a half block if you park there. There is a sidewalk, but the walk is up a slight hill, so be aware. I did not notice any specific handicapped spaces. The entrance opens into the main seating area, with a stage on the left. The menu is on a white board near the entrance. The ordering counter is in the rear. Seating is all tables with a few seats at the counter. Everything looked bright and clean, even if it was not all new. We placed our order and went to find a seat. The food was brought to our table in about 10 minutes. The Jerk chicken plate was very good. There was some spicy heat throughout the dish but not enough to be distracting. The flavor was very good. The side of cabbage was a very good accompaniment to the chicken. The rice was fine but nothing special. The plantain was cooked properly, but it would have been nice to have more than one small piece. The beef and curry chicken hand patties were quite good. Both had nice flavor and were more filling than expected. The selection of fillings does change, and they also run out of certain fillings so the availability does change. The food here is very good and the variety can keep you occupied for several trips. Or, you can just re-order your favorite every time and still walk away more than satisfied. read more

When you come to Milly's you are stepping through a portal that offers a cultural and a culinary experience. This was so much fun! Having a place in Kingsport that has a taste of the islands is a real luxury! When you come into the restaurant they have a great "island vibe" with music and tasteful decorations. You truly feel like you stepped into a little cafe off the street in a Caribbean island. For the time we were there I felt like I was vacationing in the islands. The interior was clean and well maintained. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. The two ladies were kind, friendly, and accommodating. I was excited to get authentic Ox Tail and my wife got Curry Goat. The flavors of the Oxtail were wonderful; this isn't very spicy, it is bursting with levels of spice and flavor. The Curry Goat was the surprise; it was so good. One of their sides is cabbage and my wife and I ate all of our cabbage. I drug my rice and peas into the juices and couldn't stop eating. We also had a side of fried chicken, which was delicious. We got a butter rum cake, but was just too full to eat it then. That and a piece of chicken will be a snack! read more

Come here for true Jamaican food. Just minutes from downtown Kingsport. Hubby got the Ox Tail dinner that comes with red beans and rice, cabbage, and a sweet plantain. Delicious. I got their Curry Goat dinner that comes with red beans and rice, cabbage, and a sweet plantain. Flavorful deliciousness abounds in this dish alone. I'd order this again. Spicy but not hot. We sat at table #2 right in front of the photo shoot backdrop. Fun decorations and island music playing sets the right mood for this restaurant. read more

We moved to the area a few years ago now. We are from a "big city" where restaurants were in high competition with each other and good food was not hard to find in any style. Here in this region we have struggled to find what we think is good quality food. There have been a few, some out of business now, like Angry Italian and Union 51. Sure you've got the chains... but good quality food in any style is hard to find here. And along comes my buddy, has lived here for years. His is from Jamaica "man" - sorry just had to. Anyway he takes me to Milly's Authentic Jamaican and wow what a great experience! I have been back there now I guess 10 times. And you know what is surprising? The consistency! One of the worst things that can happen is you like a dish and you return only to have it flop. Not here at Milly's. Cafe style. Kid friendly. Jamaican style Christian music - very cool. Great staff. Oh did I mention the food? Every time I go I intend to take pictures...but I started eating even before the plate hits the table - lol. read more

Great food, very authentic taste. Jerk was at a perfect spice level and fell right off the bone. Could eat a cauldron of the cabbage. read more

Second trip to Milly's. It's a well kept secret but the staff and owner will make you feel at home and people who have been to Jamaica says it's authentic home cooking. Very very good dinner. We had Jerk chicken and roasted goat. The chicken was spicy in a good way. My dining partner has ordered goat both times we have been there and loves it. Jamaican sodas, ginger beer are available. A very casual restaurant with a family casual atmosphere. read more

Great food and service. Easy parking. Simple decorations but plenty of atmosphere and seating read more

I had the curry goat and a beef patty. Both were amazing. I was up in Kingsport for work and so happy to find this gem. Everyone was so nice, the restaurant is in an older building but was very clean, the service was quick, and the food was outstanding. 10/10 recommend and I'll definitely come back. read more

Milly’s Authentic Jamaican Restaurant - Curry goat - Caribbean Near Me - Kingsport, Tennessee

My first time trying Jamaican! Great food and excellent service! Definitely authentic!

This place is an authentic experience. I had the National dish: Ackee and will have it again in the future. The Bundt cakes are a delicate and flavorful dessert. I took a friend here for her birthday and she loved it too. This is an off-the-beaten track place with its own vibrancy. read more

Blink and you may miss it, it's well worth the stop. I have eaten at Milly's several times since they opened and have never been disappointed. If you want something fresh and different than your usual fare, give them a try, you won't be sorry you did. I have had the Curry Goat, jerk chicken, beef, chicken and veggie patties, roti, pineapple ginger chicken, plantains, and of course the coco bread (amazing!) There is even a nice selection of Jamaican sodas to try. Everything, and I mean everything, I have tried here is fantastic. The staff has always been super friendly. Most everything is cooked to order so there is a bit of a wait (25 minutes or so) but it's worth it. I love supporting locally owned businesses and this one deserves it! read more

Amazing food. I had the oxtail and my wife had the jerk chicken for lunch. Both of our meals were great I can't wait to come back. We tried the butter rum cake too which was great. I wish it was open every day of the week because I'd be coming here as much as I could! read more

The best jerk chicken I have ever had. Each meal comes with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains. Every item I had was phenomenal.
