I wish I had of read the reviews before I made the drive. This is a food truck that is not open on weekends. The hours show them as being open on the weekends. Businesses need to keep their hours updated. Lucky for me, there was another place I wanted to drive 3 minutes away. read more

A Jamaican spot found at a gas station that is closed is one of those unique finds in the Atlanta area. To some the prices may be a bit on the high side but the food is bussin. Oxtails DO NOT disappoint!! There is no menu posted but you can find them on IG at @scotchies_sandysprings. This is a one man show. Food is fresh to order. Strictly takeaway only. Great customer service. I know there are plenty of Jamaican places to eat in the Atlanta area but this should be on your list especially if you are in or close to Sandy Springs. read more

Good authentic food. Came in and tried the curry chicken which offers to the option of spicy or mild which is nice. The sauce truly uses the infamous scotch bonnet peppers known in Jamaica, so it definitely has a kick. The rice and peas and side of cabbage for veggies was good also. The portions are large so don't feel bad if you can't finish it in one sitting. Not to mention the popular "mystery" lemonade. At a glance you can tell it's not your traditional lemonade, but it is SOOO refreshing & addictive! Before I knew I had finished the drink and looking for a refill. You can tell it's a fan favorite because folks started rolling in after we arrived and everyone got the drink - some even took it by the gallons. The owner Kevin is very friendly and passionate about his cooking. I'm amazed at how he operates it all as he is the cashier, cook and server - but he managed it all. With the maw/paw type setting it feels like you've come over for dinner at someone's house. Definitely will come back when in town. read more

This was great, i did a quick look at places near my hotel and found this place. The woman working was just wonderful. I had in mind what I wanted thinking of past visits to Jamaica and was not disappointed. The Jerk Chicken was very flavorful, I got the medium as she said the hot was like ghost pepper hot. The medium was good for me. They also had two flavors of Ting which I do not see often in the US. If you get a chance and want a wonderful flavor of Jamaica with great service you should give them a shot. read more

Scotchie's - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is the food truck which is closed on the weekends. My review is for the restaurant 6385 Roswell Rd NE (for some reason Yelp has that address as closed but it's open and located behind a gas station). Oxtails were AMAZING! I didn't care for the rice. It had a heavy coconut flavor and was somewhat sweet. I didn't like the plantains. I don't think they were fresh. What I mean is, they were fried, left to sit out, as if waiting for someone to order them and then added to the plate. Not made to order. I dislike reheating plantains. I enjoy them fresh off the oil. I didn't care for the Island lemonade drink which was mixed red and yellow drinks with fruits. It tasted like Capri Sun. Maybe next time I'll just try the lemonade only (yellow drink). I wanted patties and I was informed no patties were made today because he didn't feel like making them. Customer service from Kevin was nice. Will I come back? It's a toss up. The oxtails were really good but for me to drive out here for just that nah because I didn't enjoy the sides and the plate, albeit huge, was pricey. Also I presume I got the large. Or maybe it's only one serving size because I wasn't asked if I wanted small or large. The oxtails plate was a WHOPPING $36. I think I'll stick to Creole Orleans Catering (Greenbriar Mall food court) or Nice Mon cafe (Stone Mountain). read more

Scotchie's - Oxtails - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've been searching for an authentic Jamaican restaurant in the Atlanta area and I think I may have found it! I ordered the oxtail and it was around $32; if you would like to opt for a cheaper option the brown stew is around $20. Both were delicious! The owner, Kevin, gave great customer service and even sent me on my way with a sample of cucumber ginger juice : ) There isn't a menu so call ahead (404-482-8616) to order/ see what they have for the day. read more

$57 for an oxtail platter on Uber eats is crazy. $39 is already to much. I understand the price of beef is going up but $60 is wild.

The food is phenomenal! Literally Kevin throws down, he made curry shrimp right there in front of us. This is authentic Jamaican cuisine. Classically trained chef, but with authentic flair from grandma. You will not be disappointed. read more

This place was hard to find, even with using my GPS. But the food was good, service was even better by the time I got there, I think it was closed. The owner opened the door and took my order and went back in the kitchen and proceeded to cook. read more

As I was leaving First Citizen's Bank in Powder Springs, GA last Friday, I was hungry as hell!!!! I found 2 spots on Google, Carzell's Kitchen LLC & Scotchie's Restaurant. I called Stink Stink to see what I should pick. She told me Jamaican so that's what I did. I GPS'ed to the Powder Springs location, which was about 10 minutes away from me. The GPS took me to a shopping plaza/mall and it was a bit hard to find the restaurant at first. I drove around the back on the shopping plaza/mall and ended up finding it. It's across the street from the Chevron, beside the liquor store if you are wondering. Upon entering, the sounds of Bob Marley and The Wailers were playing which set my soul at ease. There was an older lady there who was the sweetest person in the world! I told her I wanted fish and she recommended the Escovitch Fish or the Brown Stew Fish (snapper). After going back and forth, we decided the Brown Stew Fish was ideal for me. It took momma about 15-20 minutes to prepare, as the seafood is cooked to order. The presentation was super homely and authentic to me. I received my rice, peas and cabbage in one plate, and my fish/brown stew in another. OMG!! When I tell you this place takes you to Ocho Rios amongst the people like I was for my 30th, it did that! The flavors are natural and taste organic with very little additives. Whatever recipe they have going on is amazing and uniquely different. It was sooooooo good, I tried the brown stew ribs from the Buckhead Food Truck the next day! The wait was a bit off, being he (I'm guessing the owner) was at the Powder Springs location, but hands down top-tier ribs. Not falling off the bone, as I really don't like mine extremely soft, but tender enough to manage without struggling and biting down too much. Perfect blend of seasonings and sauce, also served with rice and cabbage. He also threw in a free homemade pineapple based drink for the wait. All I needed was some tequila or vodka with it! This is the best Atlanta has to offer, Jamaican food wise. Their closest competitor is Mangos for sure. Try it. They're really good people! #themomandpopspotreviewer @rockyrunron read more

If you want authentic Jamaican, this is your spot. My first time here the owner allowed me to sample a few items before making a decision. I usually go for Jerk but decided on curry this time. I was told he is outside on the grill later in the week, depending on weather. You can't go wrong with anything I've tried. The meals and sides are large & the price point is a lil higher than I'm used to paying for Jamaican food, but its chef driven and well thought out. You'll eat for 2 days! read more

I visited the Alpharetta location and the food & service were both excellent! Fresh ingredients and authentic Caribbean cuisine. The portions are huge! Really 2 meals in one. Definitely going back! read more

Amazing Food! It was flavorful and authentic. This is a must try whether you're In the area or not . I highly recommend you give Scotchie's a try. The owner provided exceptional customer service so you won't be disappointed! read more

The food was delicious and fresh tasting. We got the curry shrimp plate and the oxtail plate , it came up to about $52. My only issue was that there was no menus posted or prices listed. It would be nice to know the price prior to ordering. Also, there were whole scotch bonnet peppers in the curry shrimp, luckily were West Indies and knew what they looked like .... I just hope other people do too lol . Over all I would recommend and come back read more

The food and service were impeccable. I have been looking for authentic Jamaican food for 14 years in Atlanta and I finally found it! Kevin gave me so many samples, I was full by the time I ordered my food. The jerk chicken and brown stew chicken were all good, but the Oxtails and Mac and Cheese were the best! Loved the service and attention to details. For the germaphobes...he finished serving my food before he touched anything else. No cross contamination. I will be back often for my oxtails! read more

This place absolutely AMAZING! This is true authentic Jamaica Food! The owner always take care of me and my entire family! If you are in Sandy Springs you MUST stop by and eat! You will be hooked!! read more

In Atlanta working on a movie and being of West Indian decent I had to find a spot. I stumbled on Scotchies and was pleasantly surprised. The menu is straight to the point, the service is done with a smile and you won't forget the experience. No fluff here, just really good food. Do not be put off by the location, it's perfect for what you want ... great West Indian cuisine. Big portions and a nice mix of Curry, Jerk and Seafood. Thank me later! read more

OMG! From the Jerk Chicken, to the Jerk Ribs to the mouth watering Oxtails and Curry and Garlic Shrimp, Scotchie's is the spot for authentic Jamaican food.

I wasn't going to leave a review because I was extremely upset after leaving this place. I felt obligated to do so after reading some of the other reviews who felt the same way. It's unacceptable for "Kevin" to play with his prices like he does. A few months ago my boyfriend and I was in the area and stumbled across this place in search of some authentic Jamaican food. Kevin(owner) suggested we try the punch and then he left the store and came back with some truffle Mac n cheese. He said that this was a new item he was adding to the menu and wanted my opinion. "Just okay"However, the prices aren't listed because apparently it's based on if you're a local or a tourist. We were clueless of his prices until receiving the receipt. I would have never paid $50.00 for a freaking plate of OXTAILS. It's a shame that he is playing games with the prices. He also had the audacity to tell us some BS like. " the oxtails are At market price " . What the HELL! Who ever heard of this foolishness? Oxtails at market price! read more

RUDE ALERT: I'm a first time customer and I just called this place to put in a order. The guy who answered the phone was extremely rude and not helpful at all, which I never asked for help because I already knew exactly what I wanted, I asked the guy was it okay that I place a order for pickup because I took into consideration that it's a food truck, he then cut me off without answering and started talking to communicate with someone in the background then he decided to answer me in the rudest way possible "that it was okay". I passed the phone to my fiancé because I needed to take a deep inhale/exhale, he then had the nerve to say "talk fast I got a line" as soon as my fiancé said hello. We've literally been looking forward to visiting this place of business BUT THAT CHANGED QUICK. Advice to YOU: you're bad for your own business, we'll be sure to spread the word. THANK YOU! read more

my co-worker put me on to this food truck.. I've been wanting authentic jamaican food and this place did not disappoint. the owner is very down to earth.. i got service with a smile.. good bye tasty spoon, hello Scotchie, giving you a 10.. thank you, from your new customer.. Tori :) read more

Had a great experience with Chef. Everything I ate was good. The jerk chicken, jerk ribs, grits, rice/peas, and cabbage were all on point. Chef doesn't miss. I will definitely be back!!! read more

New to the area and trying to support local businesses, I GOT GOT! No prices listed for food and the owner "runs game" on you with this "let me let you taste it" while he makes a full portion plate (substandard, small portions) then has you eat out of the entire container?!? Well, of course you would feel obligated to buy it. HE CHARGED $30 for oxtails?!?! Yes he gave me a free lemonade ( I paid for it cause that was not enough food for $30). SMH read more

If you're looking for a taste of Jamaica, Scotchie's is the closest you'll get without having to catch a flight. The best rice & peas with REAL coconut flavor. I never cared for cabbage but I'm a new lover of it after tasting Scotchie's. Great flavor in all of the food especially the curry chicken, it had a perfect balance of curry, spice & goodness. Happy to know there's authentic Jamaican food on the Northside. If you're on the Southside, it's worth the drive! read more

Love this place!! Found it on Yelp when I was looking for a Jamaican restaurant while I was home. I FOUND A GEM! From Mon-Fri there is a food truck located near the Bank of America before you turn towards the bars. If you want this great food on the weekends you have to come to the Sandy springs location or the one in Midtown (opening soon). The food is authentic and just what my dad and I were looking for in terms of Jamaican food. I've had GREAT Jamaican food in my life but this definitely is up there as quality. Also! The owner is so nice and super friendly! He even let us try a few dishes before we ordered our food! Loveeeeed it! I'll be back and I'm definitely telling all of my friends to come here as well. read more

A hidden gem! If you're a true foodie, this is your spot. If you're about the island life stop by and you will be blown away. My favorite was the whole fried snapper and the sauce is to die for. The oxtail is also a must ... the jerk chicken divine. Thank you Kevin! read more

We ordered the Escovitch Fish, Garlic Shrimp and Curry Shrimp. Everything was excellent- really well seasoned. Also, tons of food. Cant wait to go back and try the jerk ribs. Would definitely recommend checking this place out!!! read more

Came in to the restaurant randomly and found the best Jamaican food in the city! Hands down the best jerk chicken and jerk ribs! The oxtails aren't those baby oxtails either. Honestly I sampled everything on the menu and you can't wrong with anything on this menu. And make sure to try the lemonade! read more

Great jerk chicken, jerk pork was even better but the oxtail was the best! Best Jamaican food in town!

The absolute best Caribbean food in Atlanta. Being from the Caribbean I found it difficult to find authentic food until I found this place!

The jerk chicken is so good!! Check them out!! My 2nd time there the jerk sauce is prolly the best I have tasted!
