Mr. Mack's never disappoints! I'll happily take the ride anytime for some good Jamaican food and Mr. Mack's always makes it worth it. The cabbage is so tender and flavorful, and their fried and jerk chicken? Always juicy, never dry, and packed with bold, authentic flavor in every bite. I also appreciate that they don't overcharge and the portions are generous you definitely get your money's worth. It's clear they care about both taste and value. If you're craving real Jamaican comfort food, this spot is a must. read more

Came here while on vacation. The restaurant was located on a busy street. Parking is available in the back. Atmosphere: upon arrival we were greeted. We entered through the front door which seemed like the back door as we walked around. The inside was a bit cluttered. There were about two booths to sit in. The food was on display, beef patties and other food in warming trays. Service: The attendant was very helpful pointed out the menu asked if we had questions. Food: I ordered jerk chicken and festival. Something I haven't had in a while. My husband got the oxtail and rice and peas with plantain. The food overall was good. I came here because it was highly recommended online. I probably won't recommend this spot. I can very visual when I go to a place and this place needs some tidying up. read more

Small place with plenty of parking. Lots of pick up/take orders for lunch as we chose to dine inside. I chose the Brown Stew Chicken which was fall off the bone tender, moist and delicious. The Brown gravy over the peas and rice was really delicious too. The Cabbage and carrots were a nice accompaniment to my meal. Ice cold Cream soda for my beverage helped the excited taste buds to calm down. Great lunch stop! read more

We had a very good lunch here. You can dine in -- which is what we did -- but many folks were doing take out while we were there. There's a small parking lot behind the restaurant and you can enter through the back door. As we came in the front, we saw the menu on the counter and watched one of the guys dishing up a container. The meals come in three sizes, and we decided that the small size would be fine for us. I got the oxtail with rice and peas and steamed cabbage with bits of carrots. My husband got his "usual" brown stew chicken with the same sides. Both meals were delicious. Literally finger lickin' good as both entrees have bones and we ate a bit with our fingers to get all the good stuff. There was just enough brown gravy on the rice to make it moist and add extra flavor. We thought the prices were quite reasonable and the food good enough for a definite return trip. I'd like to try their curry or brown stew next time. read more

I was very disappointed in the oxtails. They were very tough. My plantains were dry and hard, and I couldn't really taste the seasoning. I don't know if it was because it was in the evening and the next morning I went to purchase more food and they were supposed to be open and they were closed read more

This was my first time in to Mack's but it won't be my last. Service was fairly quick and the food is priced well and delicious. The auntie at the register was kind, made me feel welcomed and had me laughing. I ordered the small jerk chicken steamed cabbage, rice & peas. The small was plenty for a lunch portion. For dinner I would definitely order at least a medium, the small was about 1/4 chicken. The rice & peas were cooked to perfection, and the oxtail gravy over the rice is an absolute must. The downing area on the inside is limited to only 3 four tops, but they also have outdoor seating available. read more

TLDR: This is not Jamaican food at all, mostly fat and bones. I have ordered twice and both times disappointed me. I ordered jerk each time thinking I would get the real thing but both times I got bbq chicken instead. 95% of the "pork" is fat and burnt fat. Any other meat such as chicken and goat is 75% bones. The Mac and cheese is just undercooked Kraft that is cold and watery. The Rasta pasta is fine for what it is but it's served very cold like potato salad. read more

So dang good we had dreams about the food that night and was planning to go back Sunday but didn't realize Mr. Mack closes early! We were staying at a resort in WPB but were looking for some jerk chicken. We ordered jerk chicken and oxtail. The jerk chicken was BBQ's with a nice tangy smoky flavor. The edges of the chicken had a nice char which enhanced the BBQ! What is incredible as good as the jerk chicken was the oxtail was even better. The meat was so tender, stewed with fat on the tail created these perfect beef bites that explode flavor in your mouth! Order the soursop drink to pair with your meal and this will make you complete! The host was extremely friendly and funny. I wish I had this place by my home. read more

Fantastic! The oxtail is some of the best Ive had- super tender and spiced just right. My husband and I have been dreaming about it since we had it. You have to go just to try it! We also had the jerk chicken- also super good! Smokey with a good amount of spice, try it with the table hot sauce and its **chefs kiss** Parking lot is small and we ended up parking on the street. Staff was so friendly it felt like you were family. The restaurant was fast casual with booths to eat there, but would also be very convenient for grab n go! Check this spot out- its going to be worth it! read more

I was NOT impressed with the food. We ordered the large oxtail and curry goat dinners. This is NOT Jamaican food! Absolutely NO seasoning on anything. The cabbage didn't even have salt or pepper. The service was decent and the ambiance lacked luster. It's a small establishment with little AC. Definitely not anywhere to sit and eat. I'll pass on this place next time! read more

Mr. Mack is one of my personal favorite spots for delicious island food. My favorite is the curry goat. The food is well-seasoned and flavorful and the portions are plentiful. I can't speak to the service much because we've only done take-out, but the food is 10/10. read more

Mr Mack's - 13. Curry Goat - Caribbean Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Oh My Word! Many of my praises echo previous reviewers' comments... Hands down the best damn Jamaican food I've ever eaten. The portions are abundant. Service was very fast and the staff are sooo friendly, polite and helpful. I took a gal that had never had Jamaican food and she had questions. They were honestly answered by the lovely gal at the register who kept a steady state of hustle to help unload deliveries while pumping out carry-out orders!We got there shortly after they opened and it was poppin! I will not eat at another Jamaican place in Florida unless their reviews stack up to this place. I've never been disappointed by Jamaican cuisine but now this sets the bar very high for competition. I had oxtail, cabbage and Mac/cheese. I'm not usually a starch eater but it looked too good to miss out on. The cabbage is more firm than "stewed cabbage" because it is steamed and I loved the consistency. The oxtail was incredible. My friend had jerk pork, cabbage and plantains. She commented that all were incredible and her portion allowed for her to take home enough for supper. We both had size small and I crushed mine all at once because I don't like leftover meats or microwaves. So I got stuffed!! Can't wait to go back! I am here for 6 weeks and have every intention of eating there weekly!! 10/5 s read more

I came here twice both times the food and service was great. The third time, when I went to get a napkin from the table a cockroach jumped of it and crawled towards the food area. I was in such shock, because I can't imagine how many bugs are in the kitchen. I didn't want to make a scene, I just left but couldn't eat the food imagining how nasty the kitchen is. Will never come back. read more

I placed my order on 05/17/2025. I was extremely disappointed with my order of the so called Oxtail with white rice and Rasta Pasta. I expected the Oxtail to be full of flavor but it had no flavor and it made me throw up. As for the Rasta Pasta which was only rigatoni with melted cheese. I would not recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy! read more

Food was excellent and the service was phenomenal. The jerk pork and the oxtail were my favorites. The spice can catch up to you, though. The portions were generous. The staff were friendly and gave good vibes. You'll try it once and you'll be hooked. You'll definitely enjoy it. read more

Soup go for soup. Family owned restaurant off the very busy Okeechobee. You might miss the sign so look for the food truck that will be on the side of the building. Very early you will see the grill at work smoking away the meats for the day. Park in the back and make your way around. There is back door but makes more sense to just round out the place. Staff is limited so give shout of "good afternoon" to make sure someone here you. Don't be surprised to see the only person visible is also answering the phone. Food is great but especially the soup (but they were out of fried dumpling for lunch). With Florida's constantly changing weather it's always good to get a bowl of something warm and filling inside of you during lunch. You do anything more than the small bowl and you'll need a nap. read more

My husband and I dinner here last night.ROACH filled restaurant. We dinned in as we were interrupted by the constant roaches which would crawl up and down the wall.NO employee wears gloves while handling the food. The jerk chicken tasted days old and the rice we had was hard and smelled spoiled. AVOID AT ALL COST! read more

I stayed at a local hotel and they had an ad for Mr. Mack's. If you show your room key you get a free meal. The cashier had to get the boss, I'm assuming it was Mr. Mack. He said the free meal was the chicken, so we ordered chicken and oxtail meals. We added 2 beef patties, too. Everything was good. They were bumping dancehall, my favorite! I wanted to dine in for the music, but hubby wasn't a big fan. :/ read more

I recently ordered a large oxtail and curry goat from "Mr. Mack" Jamaican restaurant, and my experience was a bit of a mixed bag. While the flavors were commendable, there were some significant hiccups in the service. The oxtail, though flavorful, was a bit too fatty for my liking, and the rice portion seemed disproportionate to the meat. Furthermore, the mix-up with my order--receiving BBQ chicken instead of the curry goat I ordered--initially went unnoticed. Upon realizing the mistake, I contacted the restaurant, and they assured me they'd make it right. However, the resolution fell short of expectations. Although they agreed to provide a free curry goat, I received a small portion, with the explanation that I had already consumed some of the chicken. While I appreciate their attempt to correct the mistake, the compensation felt insufficient. Communication with the owner was polite, but the overall experience left me wanting more in terms of customer service and satisfaction. Other thoughts: It is a nice little spot, but very tight inside and difficult to park; I ended up taking the food to go. read more

Small restaurant off of Okeechobee which draws you in with the smell of the smoker. I decided to pop in and try it out. It's a small spot so dining in is limited to a few tables so I decided to take my food to go. I ordered an oxtail with a side of rice & peas and Rasta pasta, Jamaican patty and rum cake. All the food tasted average to me. I did not get a kick of the Jamaican spices and flavor I was looking for. I felt like all the dishes were lacking some seasoning but still edible. I was also disappointed with the Jamaican patty which tasted like it was previously frozen and reheated and not made in house. The service was a bit slow as other reviewers noted but the staff was very nice! I gave it 3 stars because overall food was decent and service was good. read more

Food was great and taste authentic... I had jerk chicken with rice and peas will definitely coming back again

Small little joint on Okeechobee. Food was decent and portions were big. Service is a little slow. There are a few tables and chairs inside and a couple outside facing Okeechobee boulevard. I had the oxtail with coleslaw and rice. Some of the other dishes we had were barbecue chicken and curried shrimp. The oxtail was very tender but a little fatty for my taste. The sauce on the curry shrimp was quite delicious but the shrimp themselves were lacking. As for the barbecue chicken, it was a little dry but had some nice seasoning. The large portions can be shared with two or more people. read more

I was visiting WPB for one day and I will have to say the service was fast. I was looking for oxtails and I wasn't impressed . I asked for a side of extra gravy and I could have still used more gravy on my food. The food also tasted like it was cooked earlier that morning and was used throughout the day. The food wasn't even hot. I'm sure if the food was fresh I would have had a different experience. read more

It's gotta be that I came on a night the chef who generates all these 5 star reviews was off. The macaroni had an odd tangy taste. I had brown stew chicken...it was just ok. Way more browning than seasoning unfortunately, but it wasn't bad. The peas and rice had no taste. Might as well had ordered white rice. We picked this place bcuz those pics with the white plates make it seem like a nice spot to dine in, but that's also a no. Staff are friendly, the festival was good but I'd go to Bob Marley's before I come back. read more

Great food, always get either jerk chicken or oxtails. Can't go wrong with either. Fast service

I was craving for jerk chicken for a long time but couldn't find a place for a long time. Amazing food! True spice! I cannot wait to try other foods from here read more

First time trying Jamaican food. The spices are amazing and the smoke on the chicken tasty! Pineapple slaw was tangy, sweet, fresh, and crunchyz it seemed to bejust made! Definitely gotta go back for the jerk chicken again!! Also gonna try the ox tails next time! Super friendly and helpful. Even made a friend in there with my southern accent. Nice folks! Tasty food! Definitely get your moneys worth for what you pay! read more

This food was utterly disgusting. I am honestly not sure were all the 5 star reviews come from. Is your best chef off on Sundays? Ordered stewed fish with cabbage, rice and peas. Firstly there were no peas in the bland rice thrown on the plate. Second, the cabbage literally tastes like they just boil it and put it on your plate. Most importantly the fish was AWFUL! No flavor, no taste, no spices NOTHING!!! Every item that I tasted was a disgrace to the Jamaican community. There is no way this food was cooked by anyone who know's what they are doing. I will NEVER step out on faith again. I am in complete disbelief after wasting almost $40 on something that got thrown in the garbage. Do better, seriously!!!! read more
