The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and I have to say this is Best Jamaican Curry I have ever had. Will definitely be back and make this a regular. read more

Great service and great food! The curry chicken is my favorite and I'm glad I found this place when I moved here. I even got my mom on it when she tried one of their Jamaican patties which are so good! Plus I love their sodas! read more

I did a oxtail and goat combo. The goat portion was very small just a few pieces but it was the best goat I have had in a very long time. Very tender and well seasoned. The oxtail was good as well with a larger portion. I should of gone with the goat alone! I also had the red peas soup which was very good. I wanted to try their jerk since someone posted that they actually cook it on a grill. I had a small order of Jerk wings that were just ok at best. The Jerk wings were in a wet sauce which fell short of my expectations. Overall the food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. The service is slow as many of you have mentioned but its not fast food so if we want fast this is not the spot for you. The food is worth the wait! read more

Was out for a lovely bike ride and got hungry didnt really want a chain store food and didnt want to pay alot either. So I elected to seek out Jamaican food because we recently went to Jamaica and so was hoping it would at least live up to the real thing...and I must say...the only thing missing from this place is dunns river falls and blue hole...they still have the spice of it oh this place is so good I'm coming back and bringing wifey...its a brilliant hole in the wall mom and pop shop dishing amazing Caribbean island food...it burns soooooo good read more

Large portions. Great service. Fast delivery. I had jerk chicken and pork and can't decide which I like more! Will deff eat again and refer locals read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. The staff is SOOO friendly, the food is A-MA-ZING!! And it is so clean it's so near my house and now that I discovered it I wanna live here! You need to try the Coco Bread and beef patties! They're to die for!! read more

I so wanted to love this place. Was really excited to find a Jamaican place near home. The smells inside the place were promising. My gf and I both ordered the jerk pork and both felt kind of let down. That deep flavor of jerk was not there. The meat was really dry and didn't seem to have been marinated very long. There was some jerk sauce on the meat, but it had a strange flavor that didn't enhance the jerk spices. There are much better options out there. read more

I come here from time to time to get my Jerk Chicken fix lol. Ive never been disappointed!

From the time we were welcomed to Negril Spice we felt more like family than customers. We ordered mac n cheese and the Bammy for appetizers and our main and delicious dishes were Curry Goat and Jerk Pork. If I could give 10 stars I would. From the service to the music and the oustanding authentic Jamaican dishes, this restaurant is top notch! Oh yeah, the Red Stripes were cold and went down easy!! We will be back. read more

Negril catered a birthday party on November 6, 2015 for me. The food was to delicious! It was very tasty, portion was generous, and the patrons loved it. The price was absolutely reasonable. Great food, awesome owners! Jerk chicken, beef stew and oxtails r delicious. Phone in your orders and it is ready when u get there. Thanks negril spice and Tks to Sharon for taking care of my needs! read more

Amazing food, amazing service. I'm new to the Jamaican food scene and I have to say I'm addicted to this place. Love the food you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

I was more than satisfied with our meal here. The staff is very friendly and willing to answer any questions you have without attitude. I got the ox tail and ate every single piece. My parents got curry fish and stew fish, and let me tell you....it was bomb. You'll be so happy you stopped by. We ate inside and had a great time with the other patrons. read more

Never really tried/liked Jamaican food but this place got me instantly hooked! Takes awhile to get food but it's definitely worth the wait.

I finally tried this place while roaming downtown Sanford. I was looking for something vegetarian and took a chance. Glad I did. I had their version of a curried tofu/veggie platter with rice and beans. Awesome. Also had a piece of their corn bread which was a little sweet with cinnamon. Awesome. What really got me was the bottle of ice cold Ting. Triple awesome. I will definitely be going back. read more

One of the best way to cure the "blues" is with a good meal! I randomly stopped in to Negril Spice with the feeling of needing something authentic and as close to home as I could get. They didn't disappoint and the service was excellent! The server Elijah willingly gave me the WiFi password so I didn't miss a beat at work, made me feel at home and was quick and pleasant. I had the Jerk Chicken with Plantains and Cabbage and a side of "Messy" Roti! I had Hot Pepper Jerk Sauce on the side and it was a great compliment to my Roti! Just in time, authentic Jerk and great service! I will be back! I'm so happy we have his place in Sanford! read more

Wow this place is good. We were saying around the corner looking for a quick bite to eat. Found this place and decided to give it a try. The oxtail is out of this world. Meaty and fatty with a heaping scoop of coconut rice and a couple slices of plantanes. The fried green tomatos are amazing. Fried perfectly. The shrimp and grits were tasty as was the curry chicken. Highly recommended. read more

I've had Jerk Chicken at every Jamaican restaurant I've ever been to & let me tell you, their's is out of this world!!

Debated getting the jerk chicken but opted for the chicken stew. Sooooo good! Will be back to try the jerk.

I just had the most unbelievable experience at this restaurant. I walked in for lunch and no one was standing there so I went to the restroom to wash my hands. When I walked out, there was a lady standing behind the counter and she gave me the rudest look, opened her eyes wide at me as if to say, "can I help you?" with an attitude. I asked her, "are you ok?" She persisted very rudely to say, "CAN I HELP YOU?" At that point, I decided, "Nope, not eating here." I told her she should be more welcoming to her customers. She then said, "You didn't come in here to eat." as if I only came in to use their restroom! I am flabbergasted. I cannot believe I was just treated like that. This place got so many good reviews and I'm just so shocked they would dare treat a new customer like that. I literally came here instead of going to a cheaper chain restaurant because I prefer to support local businesses. Mind you, I was with the little girl I babysit. Totally uncalled for and unprofessional. read more

I eat here every weekend! Everything is fresh and handmade. This is authentic Jamaican food!

This place is great, the staff is friendly and courteous. The service is fast and friendly. The food is amazing, we started with Jamaican patties, my husband had jerk chicken, and I had the oxtail, they are served with crazy good rice, I think it was coconut. Both meals were so good, we will definitely be going back. You should to. read more

Negril Spice catered for my brother's 50th birthday. We are of Jamaican descent and know what good authentic food is! We were blown away at the tasty meal Big Rob and his staff provided. This shows that they are more than capable at preparing tasty meals on a large scale without compromising quality. We will be certain to use them in the future for such events. A must eat! read more

This is really a 2 1/2 star place but Yelp doesn't have that option. Negril is the newest of our 3 Jamaican restaurants here in Sanford. It has the best location but they got off to a rocky start and I heard horror stories from several people the first 3 or so weeks they were open. That seems to have dissipated. There was a young lady who was behind the counter back then who always seemed to be chewing something and always seemed to be annoyed to actually wait on people. Haven't seen her since that first few weeks. Good move if she's gone. They have the nicest interior of the the three places with a good amount of seating. However every time I've been in there the music level is way too high. I like reggae as much as the next guy but when it's so loud you have to concentrate to hear the person behind the counter it's obnoxious. Maybe a carpet or two or something to absorb the sound in what is a very loud room. The food. Their jerk chicken smells great and looks pretty good. They grill it unlike the competition. From what I understand jerk is usually grilled back in the islands but most of places I've been to in the states either bake or braise it. However, great smell and look aside, both times the chicken has been dry. Even the dark meat. Dry enough that I just kind of worked through the process of eating. Bummer. The oxtail is OK. I'm not a big fan of oxtail anyway but it's definitely on par with the competition. Their curry goat is the best in the neighborhood. Very tender and best portion. Had the curry goat at Captain John's last week and it was extremely tough. This place's goat edges out Montego Bay on 17-92 for best curry in the area. Another letdown is their rice and peas. Each and every time I've been there it's been overcooked. Not a little bit overcooked either. The last time the rice was about five minutes away from being spreadable. Their rice and peas are more like a porridge than a grain dish. Also, like Captain John's, they don't have a proper hot sauce. Only Montego Bay stocks a scotch bonnet hot sauce for customers to use. I don't get that. Their cabbage is pretty good but they haven't served plantains with their meals lately. Kind of thought that was automatic. Montego Bay is still the clear leader in Sanford for island food but this place has the best curry goat. I'll keep it in rotation for that if nothing else. They do serve a small selection of beer. read more

This is my spot for 'yard food'! Oxtail good, curry goat good, stew chicken good, curry chicken good! Worth the trip for those who know Jamaican food and those willing to expand there taste horizons. read more

I'll keep it short and sweet. Food is amazing and they give you plenty of it. As most have mentioned the service is extremely slow and laid back. Don't come here if you're in a rush. Expect to wait but the food really is good. read more

Patties are very good. Food is amazing, taste like authentic Jamaican food. Best Jamaican restaurant in Central Florida

Large portions. Great food. Good atmosphere. The owners make you feel at home. Highly recommended.

The food was ok. The service was super slow. We ordered our food and five or six people were in and out before us. One person even had time to get his food, eat it and leave. We waited over half an hour for a hamburger. read more

The food is good but the service is just okay. They are nice but do not stop by if you are in a rush because they are definitely not swift. Overall, I recommend this place of you have a lot of free time. read more

First off, its clean which is a must! The food is sssooooo good! It's full of flavor. My favorite is the stew beef. It's a perfect savory combination of spices and the beef is wonderfully tender. The guy at the front does a great job at remembering everyone. I love Spivey food and he made some hot sauce for me. You can't beat that personal touch. read more

Friendly people, authentic Caribbean taste. Coming in and was immediately greeting with a smiling face. Flavor of food was out of this world. Will definitely return again! read more

My wife and I recently traveled to Montego Bay last summer and we've been searching for a authentic Jamaican cuisine. And we found it! Great food! For true to the island. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 is our food came out separately. Maybe 10 minute difference in dishes. My wife ordered wings and I know their cooked to order. The food was great the customer service is great and very friendly. I hope this place stays around for a while. It's hard to find truly authentic Jamaican cuisine. read more

The food here is Amazing. I usually order the jerk chicken and their rice and peas with oxtail sauce. By far the best Caribbean place I have been to in Central Florida. The food takes a little bit to be prepared but that is because they make their food the right way from scratch so just be patient and enjoy a great meal. read more

This is the spot! Good food and great service. The Chef knows how to bring authentic Jamaican food.
