I tried this place off of TooGoodToGo since it wasn't too far off the beaten the track for me and…read morethe timing fit my schedule. I wouldn't typically walk into a place so local but not my neighborhood but it certainly doesn't mean that I shouldn't. Thank god for online reviews I can read and/or a modern, relevant, sustainable app. I can go in w a more open mind or take a chance on a places that might not normally get my attention because I am not in that particular neighborhood or with local, homey places, it can be hit or miss. This was definitely a hit for me. What I randomly got today is just like their background pic on the TooGoodToGo app. The fried catfish? might've been a tad salty, but not overly so. Staff is friendly but I definitely stuck out as a nerd. You know just by me entering the restaurant that I am either not local to the neighborhood or I just moved in. This neighborhood has become more diverse, but does Deborah's get the chance it deserves from its own residents' diversity rather than just on cliques or niches? My random platter is a typical soul food offering and I somehow just "know" even though I am by no means an expert on soul food. This classic meal was also well done. I would go back.

The prices are too high. Last night, I stopped by and was…read moreoffered only one side for my small curry chx platter. I am accustomed to "two" sides. I had two additional side orders and a small corn bread and my grand total was "$33.09". I concluded that they are open until 9pm for a reason with all of the other businesses being closed on the block. They need the revenue to keep up with expenses. Times are hard and I get it. Tonight, I stopped by another local Jamaican restaurant and ordered a small curry chicken platter with "two sides", with a juice $3 and a banana pudding "$6.50" ...Grand total "$23.68"... now that was more acceptable! Coconut Breeze needs to, at least, offer "two sides" to a platter. Otherwise, I enjoyed the food very much!

We decided to dine at this establishment and I must say we were absolutely delighted by the food, service , everything. Our server Elle was fantastic and very attentive to our needs.

If you are a M&C fan, you MUST try there Mac! The Collard Greens were Fantastic! If you're wondering around Philadelphia, I definitely recommend that you stop in the black hen and have some dinner.

As someone who enjoys supporting businesses of color, it breaks my HEART to have to write a review…read morethat is lined with what will be perceived as negativity. So when you read this please take these as constructive critiques to help improve the business rather than a knit-picky tirade. Ambiance: as we walked in, there were carts of various chicken products, congeals, and bags of flour that were being carted in and out of the restaurant. This continued throughout the entire meal. I recognize that it is possible that there is only the one exit which makes this process difficult for the customers not to see, however it is a bit jarring to see those things while you are eating. Especially when you are asking customers to stand up because the table set up gets in the walkway where the cart is moving. There was also a noticeable hole in the ground where we were seated and my foot slipped in it on my way out, which is dangerous in itself. Service: as we entered there was no one attending the front desk, it almost seemed as though it was just a self service desk similar to a fast casual restaurant so we walked back to the seating area to see what was going on. Eventually someone came out, asked us how many and then proceeded to get on a personal phone call and went outside as we stood there. I recognize this could have been an emergency and she did apologize afterwards. Once we were seated and ready to order, a member of my party asked a question about chicken pieces and it seemed the waitress wasn't very knowledgeable about what was written on the menu. We also noticed she was the only waitress attending about 9 tables. Food: I got what was suppose to be the equivalent of a Thanksgiving sandwich, the gobble gobble that was suppose to include: stuffing, mashed potatoes and some form of gravy. The sandwich was dry and while it came with a sauce on the side, something like cranberry would have elevated this sandwich. I assume at some point this did have a cranberry relish or cranberry compote addition but on this particular day it did not. We ordered the various bbq sauces and that really helped elevate this sandwich. As a table we got the Mac and cheese to share and it was particularly sharp, I don't have much to say about this because some people prefer their Mac this way. Another member of my party got the fried chicken stack and he enjoyed everything about it! While he thought it was a lot, he thought the chicken was fried well, the mix of ingredients was balanced and it was so much food he took half of it to go! We all enjoyed the fries as stand out and particularly yummy. Overall: I believe this place is trying. I think operating as take out and order in could work if the set up of the resturant wasn't strained by the singular exit and the super narrow hallway. Having one waitress made the wait times particularly long but again I understand the constraints of the restaurant. With all of these fundamental issues I don't believe their price point is justified,especially the cork fee. However, they are the only Black owned restaurant(to my knowledge with the leaving of their sister company Amina) in Old City so there is a lot of potential there! I hope to return with a much better experience!

Everything tastes fresh and satisfying, with that comforting homemade quality you expect from good Caribbean cooking.

Great option for takeout when you want something filling and full of flavor.

The two chosen sides were mach and cheese and collard greens. The short ribs were incredibly tender and had a nice flavor. They were a little salty for my taste, but not by much.

The jerk chicken presentation was not pleasant and they were a bit dry. The sauce helped. I look forward to going back and trying oxtails and goat. I will definitely get the yams as a side.

I had to call the restaurant after placing the order to ask about it, which was fine, but I thought it was a bit of a loss for the restaurant in one sense. They would've charged extra for the bread I requested, but they waived it b/c I had already placed the order. Good for me, I guess, but it would've been good if the option was in the ordering platform. That said, the food was great! I ordered a jerk chicken sandwich, called to ask for no mayo or brioche, which I didn't realize included fries (nice bonus), and an order of plantains. All of it was delicious, and I would probably go again, perhaps more likely to order on the phone or in person.
