The food is consistently good and I have to upgrade my rating. I would give them more than 5 stars. I feel like I'm in Jamaica every time I eat here. Great chefs! Highly recommend everything at Rocatone. It is my favorite Jamaican spot in the Bronx! read more

Rocatone Seafood Restaurant - Garlic shrimp with rice and peas - Seafood Near Me - Bronx, New York

See all

Wanted a brown stew fish. Walked in, and had only 1 person ahead of me. As I ordered the fish I was informed that the fish would be done to order and it would take 15 mins to be done. I agreed. During this wait time I wanted pepper shrimp but was told they didn't have any. The fish was done in the 15 mins she stated. I ordered it with rice and peas. The rice and peas done perfect, shelly and nice. The fish, however, while cooked lacked overall seasoning,the only place I tasted seasoning was in the head, the whole body had none. The cabbage was also extremely soft, borderline mushy. The gravy was very thick and reminded me of the gravy you get when you order chicken and broccoli. read more

The food is really delicious! I am a big fan of West Indian food in the Bronx and my friend recommended Rocatone to me. Everyone knows I love a roti and this one was good! I got a chicken roti and D&G Pineapple soda. I wish I had some pepper to go in it and that would have sealed the deal for me. The food was delivered quickly with no issues. I'll be back to try the jerk chicken roti next. read more

Rocatone Seafood Restaurant - Chicken Roti - Seafood Near Me - Bronx, New York

I came to pick up food for a doordah delivery, I said hello to the cashier, she didinʻt even look at me. I had to cancel the order to not waste my time and avoid negatively affecting my rating. Itʻs not the first time it happened read more

Food is always good and priced lower than the competition but please always check your food before leaving do to the inconsistency of the portions and don't pay attention to the parts of the chicken they choose to chop up and give you ... they also are not open too early for breakfast and they are not open late ... usually close by 10pm read more

A major waste of my hard earned money. I order chicken soup, brown stew chicken and mac and cheese. The food simply don't taste good anymore. It use to be the bomb until they change management and started doing Asian food as well. It don't have the Jamaican food flavor anymore read more

They have good food but the service was abysmal. No communication and they just there helping everyone but us. We ordered 3 items but it took us over 20 minutes to leave the restaurant, which is more of a quick service location. They also did not have a bunch of items on the menu, which made the process even more annoying. I'm giving them two stars because the first time I used here was for their catering service and that was really good, before their renovation. However, the new look came with a new attitude I guess. read more

I was craving Jamaican food. This was the only spot in the area open late Friday night. They had a small crowd. Inside was spacious and very clean. The wait for your food was less than 5 min. The woman in the front spoke very loud so you could pick up your order. My food was delicious and hot. I'll try to come earlier next time since I really wanted the Mac and cheese. But overall I had a fine experience. The Rasta pasta had too much onions and I needed more sauce on my jerk chicken. Overall food is fresh and delicious. read more

I normally really love this place and the food. However, this time I ordered a large goat instead of a medium and received the same amount of goat but just more rice. So ultimately I'm being charged extra for just more rice and I don't think that's fair. Please regulate your portion controls. It's not fair to paying guest. They also forgot my second soda. read more

I purchased a medium stew chicken with extra plantains to go, and I received 4 small pieces of chicken and a half plate of rice. I'm leaving a picture. I paid 11 dollars for 4 little sliders. Horrible experience. I did not realize how much food they was putting in my (plate) I read more

Rocatone Seafood Restaurant - Small (Medium )plate of stew chicken and extra plantains - Seafood Near Me - Bronx, New York

Really makes me feel sad to give only a 2 star. Since they've remodeled the customer service has disappeared. The decor is more modern and updated but they now lack with the staff and food portions. If you order a large oxtail you will pay $15 and receive 5 pieces of oxtail with mass amount of gravy in a container full of rice. Unbelievable! Dont bother ordering your food in advance over the phone (if they even answer) you will still wait a minimum of 30 minutes before receiving it. The food is good but they are incredibly stingy with the meat portions on top of that the cashiers have the nastiest attitude. Honestly its no longer worth it I would recommend either blue cantina or richie rich. read more

I used a Groupon. Try to call ahead. The food is cooked fresh and made to order. The Rasta pasta was good. The vegan fried rice was decent. The restaurant is clean and staff are quick to help and no attitude. One negative I'm a stickler on there were no food ratings posted in the window. So do your due diligence and check ABCEATS.com for NYC food ratings. read more

Food not consistent. Rude service most of the time. Taste gets worse every time I order from here ! Plantains are always Tuff!! Curry goat and stew peas has a weird taste and the rice and peas is mushy. Don't go there man. Not worth the price and headache. read more

Great customer service and great food. I had the fried chicken, jerk chicken, curry goat, and seafood soup on my last visit. Everything was delicious and flavorful. They never disappoint. I would definitely recommend. read more

Love. Love. Love. This is the place to go to get authentic Jamaican food. The food is always fresh. I get the curry chicken every time.

Rocatone Seafood Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Bronx, New York

One of the best Jamaican restaurant in the Bronx. The steam fish the oxtail are so yummy omg. I hope they keep the chef ‍

The moment when you finally had a chance to try the small Seafood soup and drove all the way to Long Island to find out the small wasn't enough.... *sad face* I also had the jerk chicken with red beans and rice (yes, I was hungry. Don't judge.) I didn't think it was that spicy at first but then it crept up on me like strong liquor. Just how I like it. I can count on one hand how many times I'm in the Bronx, but I will travel for good food. read more

I'm making my rounds with these Jamaican restaurants in the Bronx, and Rocatone is def top three!! The rice and peas are sooo good! Curry chicken isn't bad either, and the jerk chicken was moist and flavorful. Aseguce was prompt, and I had no issues using the Groupon which turned out to be a great deal. Plenty of food for a great price. Also very cool decor inside. read more

this is my 1st time ordering from here through Door Dash. I had the steamed snapper and my man had the jerk chicken rasta pasta. they both were very tasty. although I thought the jerk chicken would be more visible like on top of the pasta. but it was still so good.. will be ordering again read more

I ordered a small fried chicken with rice and peas with oxtail gravy. The plate was basically rice and cabbage. Literally not even a full piece of chicken. Not a leg, breast, or thigh in sight. And when I called to complain they told me to take a picture and show it the next time I come. Nope, never again. The portions are TINY. read more

Rocatone Seafood Restaurant - Tiny portions smh - Seafood Near Me - Bronx, New York

I've sampled many Caribbean restaurants in the Bronx and this is definitely amongst my top 3. I frequent this place pretty much every weekend and I'm very familiar with the staff as they are with me. I've even hosted a school event and had them cater it. The fried chicken here is AMAZING. Only place around that has comparable fried chicken is Richie Rich Caribbean restaurant... Wouldn't be surprised if it was the same chef at both places. Their seafood is made to order and always fresh. The curry chicken is also very good and although I'm not a big fan of tomato based brown stew chicken, there's is also very good. Also, their Chinese menu is legit surprisingly. I've had their chicken fried rice numerous times and highly recommend it... Tastes wonderful! Downside is seating is very limited as this is primarily a take out restaurant but the upside is they accept credit cards! read more

I was very dissappointed with the level of service at Roc a tone. I ordered a few items for my thanksgiving dinner and was outraged when I showed up to pick up my items and discovered the following: I ordered potato salad - I received freakin mash potato Ordered a toss salad - no salad was included and when I inquired i was told they only had steamed veggies and I had to wait 10 minutes for it be prepared. Ordered what I thought was escoviched whole tilapia fish - received fried tilapia fillet. I was livid. Someone who i think was the manage came to "speak" with me. she was useless as she just stared at me like a dear caught in the headlights. Just to clarify this situation. On my initiatal order - the young lady on the told me they had sliced fish and tilapia to made this dish. I as MOST JAMAICANS would assumed the tilapia would be the whole fish and the other option was sliced. This was not explained on the phone. And ofcourse the escoviched sauce was missing...I had to wait another 10 minutes for them to prepare. I was floored by the level of service and poor attention to details that was showed to my catering order.,..that said i WOULD NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN or recommend to friends. read more

Fried chicken with rice and peas always on point. Consistency is key and this restaurant never fails me . Customer service is okay, the staff is not very friendly or easy to approach. When speaking to them it's as if u are asking for a favor. Due to the chef I will continue to purchase food from this restaurant. Typical for a Jamaican restaurant but the food is actually worth it. read more

One of the best Jamaican restaurants in the Bronx even better than Richie Rich. Curry goat is mouth watering and the fried chicken is pretty good Customer service is awesome. read more

Excellent food and service I always enjoy going there and I'll recommend to anyone who love the islands spices

Food is always OKAY .. today I decided to try them again instead of Goldstar . I ordered the oxtail .. MISTAKE ! They were very SKIMP like Iver never seen smaller pieces. I then asked for an extra side of plantain in place of the veggies that came with my order (i paid extra) ... I get home and the rice is dry and there are only TWO PLANTAINS in my box. Smh last time I'll be going back . read more

Honestly I'm from the area best food and best service fresh good plates authentic , just small don't try eat here it's basically take out but super nice thank u read more

Has some good food to offer,your typical jamaican restaurant in the gritty streets of uptown Bronx. Their goat head soup is okay if your feeling ill. I typically order on grubhub or uber eats when ordering from here. Rice and peas and fried chicken are a special read more

The service is very good and the food is delicious my favorite is the brown stew chicken always nice and tender with a nice sauce definitely recommend this place read more

I waited over 10 minutes just to order, and there were only 2 people ahead of me. I order the lunch special which is $5 plus tax. I watched the woman serving put a piece of chicken no bigger than a half dollar in my plate, think about it and add another small piece of chicken to my the plate. Something told me to check my food, but I had already wasted too much time in there. I get all the way back to work to sit down to eat only to discover I basically got a plate of rice, cabbage, the small piece of chicken i mentioned earlier and what looked the bottom portion of 2 drum sticks with all of the meat cooked off the bone, but the very small amount of meat that usually located at the bottom of a chicken leg. I immediately took the food back, and the manager who served me had the nerve to try to convince me, a grown woman who has ordered, as well as cooked chicken enough times in my life to know what a piece of chicken consist of, that what she gave me was a full portion. Oh I wish I would have taken a picture of that plate! read more

This is s local Jamaican take our spot. Love their oxtail , red snapper, and lunch jerk chicken. It's usually packed so call ahead.

So after these reviews I decided to give them a try for myself. Yesterday I used UberEATS to order my food and it took damn near an hr to get to me but I ordered a medium oxtail with white rice and fried plantains. The food was good I must say better than most places. The oxtail was tender and flavorful and not sugary sweet like most places. read more

I would like for this restaurant to make authentic jerk chicken. I brought jerk chicken but I got baked chicken with jerk sauce. Tip-please make chicken on a charcoal grill not in the oven. read more

Rocatone is Great for some Caribean Delights. The Food is made to order so expect a wait. I am consist on the day I order and constantly have the pleasure of being assisted by Shanteca. AKA Ms B. She is Always kind, courteous, professional and on point she makes patrionizing the establishment a pleasure. The new decor elevate the flare and ambiance of this quaint Bronx eatery. The Menu has a variety of dishes so enjoy. You will be pleased with the portions the prices and service. read more

Their food is good but customer service is terrible! They need to have two people working the window and two lines. People feel because they placed orders over the phone they can just come in and skip the ENTIRE line and walk to the front of the line. The woman at the window said absolutely nothing about this happening. She clearly was overwhelmed with phone calls and the length of the line I am surprised no one came to help her out. I know that they can improve the quality of their business especially if you HIRE someone to help the one person out. read more

I am a fan of the food. I'm new to the area and heard the location was remodeled. I'm a Yankee, so I generally stick with the stew chicken (brown) which I am a big fan of. I also like the Mac and cheese. Just be sure to call in orders as it can be hectic on the weekend. Also be on the lookout as they frequently have deals on Groupon. read more
