    What I wanted was sexy succulent oxtails were the gravy covers your lips and coats your tongue meat…read moreso tender you don't have to chew just swallow flavor so good you wanna eat your own fingers with rice and peas and juicy sweet plantains I GOTS NONE OF THAT I never had dry oxtail no gravy whatsoever. Tender but not as tender as it could be. The plantains were also dry and hard not really sweet. They left the super big stems from the fresh herbs. The oxtail and plantains were so dry I could swear they were cooked at least a week ahead of time. The rice was okay and so was the patties. I had one beef and one chicken curry. Over all I was so so disappointed and for $25 a platter like I really want my money back. I will never go back. You should always take pride in your food and business.

    I was in Jersey for a concert and was really hungry. I drove around a bit and came across this…read moreJamaican spot; you can imagine how excited I was, since I'm an Island girl. I ordered a side of Jerk chicken, patties and a drink. I could not wait to eat. (Sigh) I was a bit disappointed because the Jerk chicken portions were way too big and it seemed as if they were done in the oven instead of on the grill. Authentic Jamaican Jerk Chicken is not usually served with gravy and this had way too much; it was almost like a stew but with less gravy. I ate it because it was edible but I'm not so sure I'll be back now, I could be nit picking because, like I said, I'm an island girl and I grew up on this type of food so YOU may like it if you end up going here.

    Food: Always on point...Yardy is native-born Jamaican…read more Service: Not smiling and grinning when you walk up, but pleasant enough. Waiting time is a little long, because they keep the food coming fresh. Ambiance: OK for spot where most people double-park and grab-&-go.

    I had high hopes for this place but ended up being a little disappointed. This place is pretty big…read morefor a carry out type of restaurant. They have a few tables inside to sit and eat if you're interested. The service is pretty good. The woman behind the counter is quite friendly and was helpful in deciding what I ordered. I spent about $70 and ordered the following: Fried Whiting platter with Yams and Collard Greens Jerk Chicken - just chicken 3 wings and fries Curried Chicken platter with rice and cabbage The fried whiting platter in terms of the fish was a smashing hit. I loved the fish. Seasoned well, no bones, great on the portion size. The candid yams were lacking cinnamon, softness, and taste. Could have been much better along with the seasonless greens. I definitely needed so salt. The Jerk Chicken was too soft to me and didn't have a true jerk taste. After two bites it went in the trash. The 3 wings and fries were good to me. While not actually wings and moreso wingettes they are a good size. Nice and crunchy. The curried chicken ok. The cabbage was lacking season. The rice was ok. Overall if I happened to be in the area I'd only want the fish. Most of the food lacks seasoning and isn't with it to me but the chicken and fish are a hit for me.

    What a welcomed surprise!…read more We were craving some authentic Jamaican food and as per, Yelp didn't disappoint. We placed an online order for pickup (no dining in) and within about 3 minutes the owner (Orville) called us and alerted us that the steamed fish can take about 25 minutes. This helped us plan our trip, and we greatly appreciated it! We ordered the Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, and the Steamed Fish. We selected rice and beans/peas for our starchy sides and green beans for our vegetables. And we threw in an order of Fried Plantains (I cannot pass them up EVER). The restaurant is small and immaculately clean. I had the pleasure of chatting with Orville while he completed my to-go order. I love a hands-on business owner who genuinely cares about his product. The aromas were making my stomach growl, and I couldn't wait to get home to dig in! The portions were huge, and this made my day, as I love having lunch options for the next day (and the day following!). Everything was piping hot and sensational. You know how you can tell when food is made with love? Well, our dishes were created with extra helpings. SO GOOD. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with ample parking. There is nothing worse than circling the block and trying to find street parking...not so here! We are so thankful for having found this little gem!

    Came here several months ago. It was not worth it... 1. I…read morewaited over 40 minutes for my food, even though it was just me and one other the person in line. 2. The food didn't have much flavor. How can you mess up jerk chicken at a Jamaican establishment? 3. It was pretty expensive for long awaited, kind-of-bland food. 4. They gave me the wrong side. I ordered takeout so I did not discover this mistake until after I got home. So disappointing and underwhelming.
