The husband is Jamaican, and is really picky about Jamaican food. He tried this- got the oxtail. He loved it. Additionally, it wasn't crazy expensive (one place in McDonough charged $15 more for less!) Definitely will be back. Place is clean, has inside & outside eating areas. read more

The worst customer service ever!!! The owner is rude af, she act as if we need her and not the other way around. The food is sub par with cheap rationing on the protein side. Please do NOT go here if you value your money and respect!!!! Trelawny which is not to far on Rock Quarry rd is waaayyyy better then this place!!!!! read more

Hubby and I decided to try the oxtails because we pass the diner all the time. The person ahead of me complained about her fish being too salty the night before and she couldn't even eat it. The owner was nice to her and made her more. The person behind me got yams and an apology. I did see some elements of customer service. However, I waited the longest. People after me were served before me even if they weren't a call in order. When I got my food, I asked to look at it. The meat portion was skimpy. The owner told me that I would have 7 oxtails. I definitely didn't. The oxtails were so tiny. I mentioned the small portion and he said, "What, you thought you'd have more...". I reminded him that it was my first time. He didn't even try to offer me more or any hospitality. When I look at online pictures, the other large oxtails had more than I was given. He insisted that more oxtail were under the other oxtail I saw and that the container was "deep". I walked away with less than 7 bones/oxtails, and it wasn't because they were fall off the bone tender. The gravy was not rich and like you'd expect. There were no beef patties when I went so I may be back to try those because I haven't found any in Atlanta that are good. I will give credit where it's due. The rice and peas were like clouds so light and fluffy. They were seasoned perfectly definitely the best on this side of town. Other then beef patties or rice and peas, I will not be returning. If you're looking for a spot in the area go to Silver Sands, now called Queen. The oxtail portions are better and has a rich gravy. They are pretty accommodating too. You can go in and order oxtail only. Their oxtail dinner is about $4 cheaper too. I was shocked by how impolite the owner was. I posted this review on another page. The restaurant had a kurt reply and suggested I had been there before several times. I just moved to the area. They had me mistaken with someone else. I see why several reviews referenced unprofessionalism or rudeness. I wish I read the reviews before trying. read more

I did like this place but I still say the need more juice or liquid with those oxtails. Got dry after a while.

I went a few months ago and raved about the fish i had ......what i held back and did not mention was how salty it was. I did not mention because i called and spoke to the cook rather than write a bad review and she told me. It was pre seasoned and she will fix it . I gave them a chance And went back and it was fix thanks to the lovely lady that is the kitchen..... so moving forward i pre order so she knows its me , well i continue to patronize. This establishment, until i finally encountered the owner one of the most unprofessional, And Rude business owner i have ever came in contact with she must be new here I thought about erasing My first review. But decided to leave it !! This is why most restaurants fail customers service is key, some owners need to stay away from answering the phone and the front if they cannot conduct themselves in a professional manner this is My second encounter with her and she's rude as FUCK!! And i refuse To continue to patronize her establishment as she stated Ruths Jamaican diner. ...:, i apologize to anyone that gave it a bad review and i judged ...... i just FAFO WHY ..... she can keep her over salty food!!! Someone will soon humble her ..,,,,,, your customers are who keep your doors open be kind !!! read more

The food was not bad but not great. The customer service is very unwelcoming. The setup is nice and has lots of seating but I didn't feel welcomed enough to dine in. Probably won't return. read more

Ruth’s Jamaican Diner - Brown Stew Chicken - Specialty Food Near Me - Stockbridge, Georgia

The Food here is amazing!!! Hands down the best Jamaican food in Georgia. You have to try the Jerk Turkey and Oxtails.

First time ever I ate at a Jamaican spot and the food was bone cold. I ordered brown stew chicken rice and cabbage. I bit into the first chunk of chicken and I was shocked, I said this is cold. But the bowl was warm.. I said let me try another piece, it was cold. At this point Im mad, because Ive waiting to try this spot and it came up super shor. Bout time I got home, I was on the toilet with food poisoning from that chicken.. Was not a good experience at all.. read more

Inside has an old smell. The food is mediocre. the wait time is and service is very slow.

Food was amazing and location was clean!!!! Fast and speedy service I can't wait to go again.

Frequent this restaurant often and each time I come, they have the nastiest attitude ever! It's as if they know their food is that good that they can be nasty! I waked up with a smile and simply asks what's in the beef soup- he says beef. Na duh Sherlock! He finally offered the other ingredients but with so much attitude like huh? I'm patronizing your hard earned business and you can't even smile and respond kindly? Against my better judgement, I asked for veggie plate which I like a lil jerk sauce with and he grills me about that saying "but it's a veggie plate" and "you asked for a veggie plate" with so much disdain in his face. I am doing my best to just stay neat with him so he doesn't do some crazy to my food before my soul and BFF finally just says LEAVE! The food was very good starting off, but has been just okay the last two times I went, so I'm reallly like "watch it" sir! But I digress, I'll go where my money is happily accepted. read more

The most tender baked chicken on this side of Stockbridge! My second encounter with Ruth's and it went just as well as my first. I was able to dine in and sat at the bar top. The restaurant is immaculately clean which I love! There are a variety of seating options indoor, patio, sunroom. I ordered the small jerk chicken which came with rice, beans, plantains, and cabbage. The meal was proportioned enough for two servings. Everything was fresh and hot. I'm not a huge eater of Jamaican food but the jerk sauce reminded me a lot of bbq chicken with a spice kick. The side items complimented the chicken well. Service was minimal as we sat at the bar top and did not require refills etc. There was no wait staff but the people working the cash register and front end were available if you had a request. Ruth's will see me again! read more

This is the best Jamaican food in Ga!!! The service was awesome, and the food !!!you can still taste the flavor afterwards. My husband and I will return. read more

Everything about my experience at Ruth's was top-tier. From the warm, attentive service to the beautifully presented, flavorful dishes. The ambiance was elegant yet inviting, and every bite felt thoughtfully crafted. A true culinary gem. Highly recommended! read more

While eating the jerk chicken meal that I ordered I realized that a chicken back with the nub of the tail was in my takeout. I have never been served a chicken back as a part of a meal that I purchased. The worst part was that the knobby entrails of the chicken that normal people would clean and throw away was still attached. In other words the chicken was not cleaned just thrown in the pot to cook. That was nasty to see and it ruined my appetite. I will never visit this place again. read more

The customer service at this place is terrible. I don't have the space to share my ordeal. But needless to say that I will never spend another dime at this establishment, and I am encouraging my neighbors and friends to avoid this place as well. I would highly recommend Silver Sands as a better alternative The food and customer service at Silver Sands is a whole lot better. read more

It's hit or miss .. I called to tell them .. there's no curry in the chicken.. and I come all the time..the food was very bland.. all they told me was I'll let the chef know.. no trying to make it right.. Bad customer service.. will not be eating there any longer.. don't have money to waste on hit or miss food.. read more

Placed phone order at 6:50 got to restaurant at 7:05 said be ready at 7. Waited additional 15 minutes inside. Got food curry chicken rice and peas with cabbage takeout. Chicken was ice cold straight out of the freezer maybe microwaved for 3 minutes out of the icebox. Rice and vegetables were fresh otherwise this would be a 1 star review. $16.25 for medium definitely disappointed was hoping to have a great Jamaican spot close read more

Ruth’s Jamaican Diner - Curry chicken - Specialty Food Near Me - Stockbridge, Georgia

Huge portion sizes . Top notch food and even better customer service . The sour sop juice is absolutely amazing . If I could give it more stars than 5 I would . read more

Ordered Oxtails and Curry Chicken and that is not what was sent to me. The food was good but I would like to have what I ordered.

I've been going here for about a year and get the jerk dinner every time. It's always delicious and consistent! The jerk sauce is a blend of sweet bbq sauce with mild spice jerk seasoning instead of the traditional jerk rub but it's delicious! The chicken is always tender and perfectly cooked. The cabbage is crispy and has fresh vegetables! And the people are nice. read more

This was hands-down, the best Jamaican food I've had in a very long time! it's very fresh delicious and cooked to perfection. The only thing is how long it takes so I would suggest ordering ahead. Also, they could maybe play some Jamaican music to create a more favorable ambience. The establishment is very cute and extremely clean. I will definitely be back. read more
