This is public service announcement. The food at Mo Bay Café is incredibly good. I'm from Chicago so I know good food when I taste it. My family and friends and I called the Chef out to commend him on the presentation of the food and the great taste of every bite that we had. I would highly recommend going and supporting our black business. read more

I got the two meat combo oxtails, jerk chicken, Mac n cheese with cabbage. Got 3 small oxtails mostly fat, the Mac n cheese tastes like it was left out in the open uncovered and dry. The jerk chicken was supposed to be chicken thighs but two pieces were chicken backs and burnt. I asked the owner if she could switch the pieces out for me and she was very rude and said it's not burnt it's how jerk looks and chicken has bones in it, I had my plate too long so she's not switching the burned chicken out! read more

My father- in-law and his wife came to Milwaukee to visit us for the holidays this past Sunday. His wife has a love of Jamaican cuisine, so my wife who lives Mo Bay made reservations. We ordered various dishes from Ox Tail, Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, Barbecue Wings, beef Patties, all the dishes were very good, our bill with tip was $296.00 which considering the size of our party,8 people, wasn't too bad. read more

I was going for happy hour from 4-6 pm but realized the regular menu is way better and had to try the cafe jerk chicken large platter. It was a lot of food with tenderly cooked and doused with the jerk sauce all over the well portioned chicken. The sides of seasoned rice and beans with plantains and seasoned cabbage. I couldn't be more pleased and it's in a great area at an affordable price of 15$ for the large plate of food! Def will be I coming back! read more

I ordered takeout from here and wow... it was amazing! Great portions and relatively quick service. My food was done in about 10 minutes and was steaming hot on my drive home! I ordered the jerk chicken size large and it came out to be about 2 meals for me. Super tender chicken and saucy. I wish it came with more plantains but I now know to order extra for the next time. I will definitely be back to try all of their other yummy offerings!! read more

Best escovitch fish is in city! I was craving some escovitch fish and found this amazing place. Happy hour on week days from 4-7 makes it a great spot to stop after work. Drinks are $5 and there are food specials. The jerk sliders on the happy hour special are enough to fill up on. Their jerk chicken is amazing and their escovitch fish is beautifully prepared. Just know you get the whole fish. The service here is great even when they are busy everyone is friendly. The whole restaurant is broken into a few different rooms so even when it's busy it doesn't seem that full. If you are looking for some amazing Caribbean and Jamaican food this is where to go. I haven't had Jamaican food this well prepared since I was down there. read more

Ya Mon, what a nice Jamaican gem located in Milwaukee! I'm writing this review based off my first visit on a Saturday afternoon. Food: Caribbean food offered for dine-in and/or take-out. Very limited options for vegans and young children. I had the jerk chicken dinner with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains. It was spicy (as noted on the menu), but it tasted delicious. The plantains weren't overly sweet, and the cabbage was perfectly cooked. My husband had the Mobay fish dinner that included Red Snapper fish, cabbage, rice and peas, and plantains. He enjoyed his meal and stated that it is very filling. Drinks: cocktail,martini, beverage, wine, and beer selections. We tried the sangria and rum punch- both great options. Service: We had really good service, though it should be noted that the place wasn't very busy. We were informed by the server that we should be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes for our food, but we didn't mind as it is also noted in the menu 'please allow 20-35 mins for made to order dishes'. While waiting for the main entrees, we enjoyed our drinks with shrimp egg rolls as an appetizer. The server often asked if we needed anything. Value: appropriately priced for the portion size, in my opinion. Meals can range from $12-$25, Cocktails can range from $8-$12/each, beverages range from $2-$5/each. Per the menu, there is a food happy hour offered Tues-Fri from 4pm-7pm (not sure if there are any drink specials during this time). Ambiance: Restaurant itself is modern and appears well-kept. Nice tiling on the Caribbean colored walls, bathrooms are clean, and reggae music can heard playing. Location: 1022 S 1st St, Milwaukee, WI 53204. No private parking lot. Quickly found a spot this time, but can see how parking can be a hassle. read more

I came here yesterday with a party of 14 to celebrate my friend's birthday. First, the restaurant had us all pre-order our meals so that the kitchen would be adequately prepared. This was huge in getting us in and out at a good time. We were all paid up and boxed up by 7:30 PM when the reservation was set for 6:00 PM. Everyone was maintained on separate tabs with gratuity already factored in. Service: Our waitresses were so nice! They made sure that the tables always had water and came around multiple times asking if we needed anything. Food: I ordered the curry goat stew. This was delicious. Of note, there are bones present so please eat cautiously. The flavors were good and everything balanced out in terms of flavors. I will definitely come here again. read more

This has been a bookmark since they opened and I finally got over because I have hundreds of bookmarks so it can take a while to get to a restaurant and lots close for good before I can get over. This is a nice space sectioned off with a bar and two dining rooms from what I could tell. The bar is done very well as you walk in with a feel of something elegant from the past with nice wood, tin ceiling, colorful walls, awesome woodwork and a tile wall that looks like exposed bricks. Overall who ever designed this space did a very nice job because it has an elegant/moderate feel to it but it's not overly sophisticated so that the every day person can feel comfortable in the restaurant. I was seated promptly and given the menus and water. They seem short handed like ever place so service was a little slow but it's times we live in now. I started with the Bob Marley cocktail because I thought it was most appropriate for my experience and it was a thing of beauty and absolutely delicious with a pineapple finish. I ordered the spicy jerk chicken with red beans and rice that comes with cabbage and fried plantains. OMG the presentation of the plate was great to the cocktail and the space it's self was wonderful. My spicy jerk chicken plate looked and smelled amazing was my first thought. The red beans and rice was sticky and seasoned nicely with Al dente red beans, very good. The jerk chicken was very tasty with a spicy smokey flavor covered in sauce that my rice just wanted a piece of but I didn't think it was fresh cooked from today because some exterior meat was hard. The plantains were perfectly cooked and the cabbage side was great also. Overall the whole experience seemed like it was from a higher price point restaurant but still reasonably for great food and drinks so I would definitely recommend stopping over. read more

I am not well versed in Jamaican food but on my visit here I tried a beef patty and oxtails. The food was flavorful and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also thought the portion size was good. The restaurant is decorated with bright colors and it was easy to find street parking. When I'm in the mood for more Jamaican food Mobay cafe would definitely be on the list to try again. read more

When I say from the welcoming YOUNG lady at the door to the quick and kind bartender Mobay Cafe has been stellar!! Our server Niyah was outstanding and the food was fresh and prepared quickly.

10 minutes after I was seated, the one waitress asked if I was ready, instead of initially thanking me for waiting. She sounded as if she was waiting on me to order when I was waiting on her to show up. She obviously did not want to be there. She didn't smile once. She looked like she was on the verge of cussing someone out. She didn't bring water of silverware or napkins. I gave her my order and I asked for a glass of water. It's now been 20 minutes, and no water. She looks angry. I already know that even if the food is good (it always is) she won't get as much as a penny for a tip. This place always has inadequate staffing by the way. So....check this out! 15 minutes later she tells me they ran out of oxtails. I asked why I had to wait 35 minutes to find out they ran out of oxtails! She said they just told her. I was going to give this place 3 stars, but they don't even deserve the 1 I gave them. This has been the second time in a year I have waited for oxtails, to find out they ran out 30 minutes later. And I got up and left. When you run out of something you should tell the customer right away so they could order something else. read more

I've been patronizing Mobay''s Cafe for a few years now. It's a quaint little place. The service has not always been the greatest because they are not adequately staffed at times, but the food has always been good. There have been times to where the food has come out cold and they'll remake it or reheat it. However, the staff has always been pleasant. I've ordered many things on the menu, but my faves are the braised oxtails and the meatballs. The oxtails are hands-down, the tastiest in the city that I've had. Today was a special day to visit Mobay's Café because my nine year old great niece asked if she could have her birthday dinner at this particular restaurant. We did not make reservations, but we had a party of eight and upon our arrival we were seated immediately. Prior to being seated, we spoke with the waiter and made him aware that we had an ice cream cake to have after dinner and we asked if we could put it in their freezer. The waiter went to the back to ask the owner of the restaurant if it was possible, but when he came back, he told us that the owner said no because since we did not make reservations we wouldn't be able to place the cake in the freezer. I asked the waiter, if we would have made reservations would we have been required to pay an extra fee and he told me no. The waiter explained, they would have made special arrangements if they would have known in advance. Nonetheless, we put the cake back outside in the car to keep it cold. After dinner, we asked the waiter if he could bring some bowls and spoons to the table, so we can sing happy birthday and eat some cake with my nine-year-old great niece; the waiter went to the back to ask the owner, but when he came back to our table he made us aware that we would be required to pay extra to use their bowls and silverware for the ice cream cake. This was disturbing to me because as I mentioned initially in the review above, I patronize Mobays Cafe often (at least a good 10 times per year) and have recommended this place to others. I have not only eaten in the restaurant, I order carryout through Uber or I have sometimes picked something up on my way home from work. So with that being said, I went to the back and ask the waiter if I could speak to the owner. As the waiter opened the door to the kitchen to speak with the owner, she was standing in the kitchen. He came back out and told me that she was too busy and was unable to talk to me. As I approached the dining area to make my family aware of the outcome, my older niece was still eating some of her escovitch red snapper fish dinner and began to cough. She spit out a silver piece of thin coiled metal approximately 2 inches long, that resembled a coarse brlillo pad brush. We immediately told one of the other waiters that was standing in the dining area; she asked if she could have it to take back to the owner of the restaurant. My niece took a picture of the metal object before handing it over and placed it on a napkin and gave it to her. Our waiter came back to our table and stated that the piece of metal that was in the fish was from the pad or brush that the cook use to clean off the grill. The waiter then informed us that he would remove that particular meal off the bill and he would then bring us some bowls and spoons for the ice cream cake. However, we declined. At this point and as a courtesy you would have thought that either the owner or someone from management would have came out of the kitchen area and apologize for the inconvenience. other than sending the waiter back out to tell us that he was going to remove that particular meal off the bill because he was going to have to do that regardless and then to tell us that we can now have the bowls to eat the ice cream cake was a huge insult! What a slap in the face! I understand that running a business comes with many challenges and you can't please everyone, but when something of this magnitude happens to a customer, you would think that it would have been a better outcome. The owner or someone from the management team should have stepped up! Unacceptable Customer Service! read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. I was so excited when Yelp chose to feature this restaurant. I made a reservation for 4 PM on a Thursday. I wanted to ensure that I would be able to sit down and eat as I have been told this place can get quite packed, when you first arrive you will notice that it is street parking. So just be prepared for that. We were able to find a good spot right on the corner. The restaurant seems to be an up-and-coming neighborhood and the outside looks fairly average. But once you step inside you'll be pleasantly surprised you are greeted by a wonderful server or host. We sat down immediately because the restaurant had just opened. It was just my family and what appeared to be another couple in the restaurant. The bar area is separated from the rest of the dining seating. There is main seating in the front for eating, and lots of seating towards the back. We started off with a few appetizers: eggrolls, meatballs, and red stripe wings. All of which were delicious and we ate every last bit. For those who are concerned about spice level normally found in Caribbean dishes , you will find these dishes are actually on the sweet side. If we had to rate the appetizers in order it would be the egg rolls, wings, then the meatballs. The waitress then took our drinks order. I went with the rum punch provided by Yelp my kids order two virgin mango daiquiris. I was excited that they offered that not many restaurants do we all enjoyed our drinks the children are so excited. They said it was the best drink they've had in a while . I then proceeded to order the two meat combination plate. I chose to go with oxtails and curry goat. I figured if these two items were hit, then they received the Jamaican stamp in my book. The plate comes naturally with rice and peas cabbage and plantain plantain with sliced to perfection and not overly cooked or added sugar. The cabbage was flavorful, but not salty meats were tender Fresh and just downright delicious. The curry go had a hint of heat to it which I loved. My children both ordered the wings Cabo for kids garlic, Parmesan. The garlic Parmesan is wet based. The wings are fried hard, but juicy on inside. It has been a while since I found a Jamaican restaurant that I enjoyed. They officially have me as a returning customer. Just thinking about it makes me want to go there now. Definitely 10 out of 10! read more

We celebrated our anniversary here - we were married in Negril and look for new Jamaican restaurants to try here in WI. Although the sign at the entrance asked for patience as they were understaffed, our service was quick. We loved the conch fritters and bread pudding. My husband had the king fish with jerk seasoning and I had the shrimp sautéd in coconut milk with peppers and onions. Both were delicious and came with rice and beans. Rum punch was also delicious and reminded me of Jamaica also. read more

I was in Walker's Point and I wanted to try something new. Something off the beaten path. I think I had seen Mobay on the menu on one of the food delivery services but had never tried it. They had a sign up saying they were short staffed and service might be slower than normal. I was there during off-peak hours and I did not experience any significant delays, although there were patrons sitting at the bar and no bartender visible. The restaurant seems to have plenty of dining space. I'm not drinking but several interesting-looking cocktails were available. There was also a selection of Jamaican sodas and juices. I had a pineapple juice which came in a glass with ice and was refreshing on a hot day. The food was good. I had to try a meat patty so I had the beef. It's pictured here. The always intrepid Rick R. has also gifted the Yelposphere with a picture of the inside of the patty for those interested. There was also a veggie variety which looked interesting. The curry chicken, with the requisite rice and peas and cabbage (and a couple plantains) was also good. There was maybe a bit less curry sauce than some other versions I've had, but the dish was well proportioned. Mobay also offers Sunday brunch with dishes like saltfish and ackee. Per their sign they close at 4 on Sunday as well. They have good food at reasonable prices. Check it out. read more

I got takeout today and tried the vegan stuffed plantains. They are yummy! The portion is pretty generous so if you are not super hungry you might have leftovers for the next day. I'm thinking that next time I'll order a side of rice as that would pair well with the plantains. They had a sign alerting/apologizing for being short staffed.m, but that the wait is worth it. So yes, don't go when in a rush, and also you can call to order ahead or place your order online. read more

Great place to satisfy your Caribbean cravings! My wife had the Jerk Chicken (see photo) and I had the Curried Goat Stew (very similar to my mom!). The side of rice and beans and sweet plantains were delicious! We also had a side fried Bammy and a Jamaican Patty (stuffed with yummy meat stuffing). Great service from Easton our waitress. Ambiance was very nice, Caribbean music, clean place. read more

Ordered carry-out for my first visit. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean. Safety protocols were also in place. I ordered a combo with jerk chicken and braised oxtail, which included sides of sweet fried plantains, rice and peas, and cabbage. Every bite was delicious! The oxtail was incredibly tender, and the jerk chicken was tender and juicy. The jerk sauce was savory and spicy, the kind of spicy that you don't notice right away, but tickles the back of your throat and makes you cough when you try to talk after taking a bite. Spice purists will want to add heat to it, but it was right for me. I also ordered the beef patty and chicken patty. Meat patties are hard to find in town, so I was thrilled to see them on the menu and available! Both were excellent, although I thought the pastry was a tad too dense making some bites around the edges a little tough to swallow. The conch fritters were not what I expected. I was expecting big pieces of conch in a batter of egg & flour, similar to what I've had in Puerto Rico, but I would describe these as beignets with tiny pieces of conch scattered. I will say there was definitely enough conch to easily notice it. I just hoped for a little more. My jerk chicken and oxtail combination was a slam dunk amd easily the highlight of my dinner. I will absolutely go back to try more menu items, and I recommend you visit the only authentic Jamaican/Caribbean restaurant in the Walkers Point/downtown area. read more

I'm so used to going to Uppa Yard for my Jamaican food and waiting a long time for their food. What drove me to Mobay was Uppa Yard not answering their phone after i called several times. Mobay not only answered they were extremely pleasant as well and their attitude was very welcoming. When I got to the restaurant i was a bit skeptical but decided to proceed to pick up my food. The location was not crowded at all and it seemed like a location i could bring a date and enjoy the evening with them. After i paid for my food i bought a drink, thinking of my last experience from Uppa Yard where i ended up waiting an additional hour for food i called ahead of time for. Within one minute of me receiving my drink my food was brought to me which was A-wait for it-mazing! I will definitely be getting my Jamaican food from this establishment from now on. read more

I loved the cabbage and rice & peas. The cabbage was very flavorful; the rice was a bit too soft/mushy for my liking but was still very good flavor wise. The service was great as well. I ordered take out and it didn't take very long (maybe 20 mins altogether). read more

We really enjoyed our meal. The interior of the restaurant was clean and spacious. The food was not what I expected from the whitewashed Jamaican food that I've had in the past....the tastes were subtle (not strong like Indian foods) and the meats were not overpoweringly gamey. The chickpea curry was immensely flavorful. The only issue was the slowness of the service. We had a lot of time in between dishes but that could also be due to lack of staff. Still, an excellent meal. Would definitely order from here again. read more

I can't give it a score higher than a 1. Entering the establishment I saw the sign stating they were short staff, so I accepted the 25- minute wait while standing, waiting to be seated while the waitress walked past me about 50 times, seeing me standing there at the front by the sign saying to wait to be seated. Then a male waiter who walked past me the same number of times and took my order. I SAT THERE FOR 37 MINUTES UNTIL ANOTHER WAITRESS APPROACHED ME, TELLING ME THEY WERE OUT OF BRAISED OXTAILS, WHICH WAS WHAT I ORDERED 37 MINUTES PRIOR. I asked her why am i being informed 37 minutes later after waiting, and she said the waiter is new, and she asked if I wanted the rest of what I ordered. The side dishes though, but not the protein? I said no and I left. i was sooo not happy. This will make me hesitate to go there again. Would I need to ask the waiter/waitress to check to see if they have what I am ordering. read more

We came on a Friday night; it didn't seem super busy but it took a solid 20-30 minutes before someone came over and took our drink order. I'm glad we weren't in a rush. It took almost an hour before our order was taken, and the waitress mentioned and apologized that they were short staffed. I ordered the oxtail/goat platter. We were kind of getting hungry, and then the waitress came back with a little appetizer from the kitchen and a round of drinks. Apparently there was a larger, unexpected party that rolled in. While we were edging on hangry, we felt relieved and not totally forgotten about. Their happy hour drinks, by the way, are tasty and like $5 for a cocktail (we had mojitos and Jamaican rum punch) and lasted until 8pm. The oxtail/goat platter was ah-MAZING! While I cannot say that I have had a lot of Jamaican food, I do know that their meat was fall off the bone tender and my mouth salivates while thinking about this meal. I felt like it was worth the price for the quality, the plantains also hit the spot, and the rice was a wonderful accompaniment to the sauce. Just go, take a chance, and give them the loving they deserve! read more

Bless up everyone because Mobay Cafe is amazing! I rolled up here with a couple of friends craving Jamaican food and left in awe at the gem we just found. I honestly have no complaints with Mobay and definitely believe the city needs to give them the recognition they deserve. I love Jerk chicken so when I heard there was a Jamaican restaurant where I live I knew I needed to check it out. I'm definitely disappointed in myself for taking so long to check it out as the food is unbelievable. The atmosphere and murals all through out are gorgeous honestly makes it such a vibe. The staff is super friendly and there are amazing deals during happy hour. My friends and I ordered what the staff recommended, which was the Jerk Chicken and Fish. I admit the food does have a little kick to it especially the fish. So if you are sensitive with spicy food be careful, but honestly it might be worth the risk. My first bite into the Jerk Chicken felt like a bite into heaven! It's honestly a first bite I won't forget because of how good it was. My friend has been to Jamaica plenty of times and believed this is some of the most authentic Jerk chicken he has had in the US. The fish was also next level. It was a whole fish and it was jaw dropping delicious. Honestly there was not a single piece of the meal that I did not enjoy! So I would be very surprised if you are still reading this, because you should already be at Mobay Cafe. The food here is sooooo good I can't believe there isn't a line going out the door just to eat here. 100% in my Top 5 restaurants in Milwaukee! read more

It was -10 degrees out on a weekday so why not be transported to a tropical paradise for dinner? That was my thought at the time anyway. My wife and I had a rare evening out alone without the kiddo and wanted to go somewhere new. When we arrived it was understandably slow (COVID and 8pm on a bitter cold weekday) We were greeted immediately and actually given a tour of the joint! Looks are deceiving as the space is actually quite large and nicely sectioned off with a bar and dining up front, two dining rooms, and even a great partially private family room for larger parties. There is a large chalk board to "leave your mark" on which is fun. We ordered a pina colada and a sangria for drinks. An "extra shot" was added to my drink as a first time visitation gesture which was nice. The pina colada did not taste like sun tan lotion as most do and was very good. My wide enjoyed the sangria, but I was not as much of a fan. We ordered the conch fritters as an app and they were just amazing. Very fresh, just enough flakiness on the outside, and very doughy on the inside. The spicy mango sauce was similar to a sweet and sour sauce with a kick. We then ordered the peppered steak, braised ox tail, and curried chicken. Both came with steamed cabbage and plantains. For being so simple the cabbage was the best I've had. Very flavorful yet light. The peppered steak had good flavor and spice, but was a little tough for my liking. The curried chicken fell off the bone and the ox tail was almost the same. The prices were appropriate at $10-$17 however we ordered large plates expecting leftovers and that didn't happen. I think smalls would have been too small. We can't wait to be back! read more

What a great atmosphere, kind service and great food! I went with the curry goat and the jerk chicken that comes with some awesome rice, cabbage & plantains. My wife got the braised oxtail with the rice, cabbage and plantains and oh my God everything was absolutely delicious.

Ask for Deion, he helped me out. Cheers read more

Omg! My honey surprised me with lunch here on Valentine's Day weekend. We came at about 11:30A on a Saturday. Very quiet, cute establishment at this time. Seems to have a disc jockey or band in the evening, will have to come back. Anyway, as for the food... DELISH!!!!! I got the oxtails & goat because it's a must anytime I'm at a Caribbean restaurant. It came with cabbage, plantains, and your choice of rice and peas or plain rice. My partner got the Escovitch, whole red snapper, that came with plantains, cabbage, and choice of side. He selected the Fried Bammay, cassava root, per our server's recommendation. That was also a 10/10. The soup of the day was chicken and veggies, seasoned very well. We also got an order of the chicken egg rolls. Yum. For drinks, I got a Piña Colada, and he got the Jamaican Mule. Very good! The server was beyond sweet and very helpful. We will definitely be back for lunch and for a fun weekend night. read more

I love this place so much, it is my favorite restaurant in the Milwaukee area. The food and drinks are incredible and the service is quick.

Another GREAT experience with my family. The service was excellent as always, Nadine (I believe is her name please forgive my spelling) was patient and very attentive. My family of six came in late and we were sat immediately and were able to place our hefty orders in before the kitchen closed. There was a little hiccup with one of our orders but it was quickly corrected and everything came out fresh and hot! We're already planning our next visit. read more
