    jerk chicken, coconut rice and peas, collard greens, beef patty
    Greg F.

    My fencing club buddy from East Northport has been telling me for a year to try The Foood Spot, and I finally got around it. Now I wish I hadn't waited so long. Fantastic Jamaican takeout! I ordered jerk chicken (nice and spicy, as I like it) with coconut rice and peas, collard greens on the side (they were great), plus a beef patty cuz why not. That patty was seriously amazing. The place is clean and inviting, and the person who waited on me was so friendly. Can't wait to go back and try some oxtails and more

    I am pleased that I do not have to travel to BBQ (The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens) to get chef kiss Jamaican/West Indian/Soul food. The Foood Spot, which is located in Dix Hills, prepares food and drink that few Jamaican/West Indian eateries in BBQ do, such as oxtail patties, avocado slaw, scotch bonnet slaw, jerk fries, blueberry and soursop juice, coconut rice and peas, Gouda Mac and Cheese, and sliced fruit cake. The Foood Spot also sells typical West Indian/Soul food, like pork ribs, Buffalo chicken wings, candied yams and collard greens. My favorite dish is the coconut rice and peas. It is addictive! Service is quick, and staff is friendly. The downside is that there is no place to sit and eat. This is just a take out joint

    I am a whole fish fan so wherever I go I search for whole fish. The Food Spot fulfilled my craving for whole fish and spicy food. The boss lady was very patient and nice over the phone with me on the veggies they cook before I placed an Uber Eats for pickup. She was even more radiant in person when I went to pickup later of the day. I absolutely LOVED my fish, cabbage and coconut pea rice. The snapper was relatively small but I did not mind that. It meant to be better portion control anyway . It had a thin layer of coating , perfectly seasoned. Inside remained moist and tender. The entire fish was NOT oily at all. The coconut rice was another supernova. Mild yet delivered what was supposed to. The Jamaca cabbages had wonderful scotch bonnet pepper flavor. The bell peppers played a great sidekick ( it was like Korean kimchi or German sauerkraut). They all danced flawlessly together!

    Fried Chicken (Leg & Thigh pieces)

    Portions are generous. I ordered everything online for pick up. This is a take out spot hidden in a shopping center near Elwood.. kind lady came out from the back kitchen to check my order. Also, Noticed the sign at the door, they are now opened on Mondays (for dinner only) 3:30-8:30pm Didn't take a photo but my fave is the side order of vegan collard greens! It went well w the escovitch whole snapper. The only 1 mishap I ran into was that my Saltfish & Ackee Empanada was left out of the bag. I really wanted to try. I called and the lady kindly noted and I will return on my next visit to pick up. I would like to try the Thai chili shrimp and the jerk salmon next time. I'm def going back for the vegan greens! This pescatarian is grateful to be able to order the collard greens!!

    It's a hit or miss there! One day they have it the next day they don't! They open at noon and you check on line and it will say sold out! They need a better way to have their food selection. Food is good, and it is pleasing to the pallet. But consistency is needed!

    I love this place The food is fantastic I've tried the jerk chicken and jerk pork, both full of flavor. A tad bit dry, so I would reccomend getting a side of oxtail gravy. The lady at the counter is always super friendly and helpful. The ambiance is small but it's more of a take out spot anyways. The portion size is great for what you pay. Overall would reccomend to anyone

    *Fried Hot Honey Shrimp, Goood Gumbo (Shrimp, Chicken, & Beef Kielbasa)

    Sooo delicious! Hot shrimp, Jamaican cabbage, sweet plantains, GUMBO with rice... *chefs kiss* People are very friendly. Small store but BIG FLAVOR!

    Curry chicken patty
    Kevin C.

    We are always around the neighborhood and I chosen to use Yelp to find me a place I haven't tried yet. After reading the reviews, it was enough for me to give it a shot. We showed up around 1:30 given this place opens at 1pm. It is quite a small storefront with a long table and 3-4 seats by the front window for a quick sit down and eat vibe. The place is amazingly clean and person helping us out, Trish, is absolutely fabulous. She speaks highly of their food and always is knowledgeable with the surrounding places. We ordered the large jerk chicken which comes with 2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, coconut rice, beans and sweet plantain. Trish asked if we wanted the sauce (which they use on the oxtails) over the rice and we opted for on the side. WOW that sauce is amazing and cannot be passed up. Onto the flavor profile, the jerk chicken has an intense heat, but in a very good authentic way. They were also very moist down to the last bite. A large portion for this for $17 is certainly big enough for two people. We also ordered a curry chicken patty to go and that was delish. Overall fantastic place and I would give it a strong 4 stars. We will definitely come back for sure.

    I got the Brown chicken stew. No flavor. Bland. Half of the bowl was all rice. Pricey dish for mostly rice.

I ordered the oxtail and didn't really like the sauce but that's a personal thing. I ordered the curry goat and salmon burger to take home as well as calamari. None were really great, just ok. The calamari at the restaurant had some peppers and ginger which gave it a kick. The one I ordered to go had nothing but fried calamari, unfortunately I was home so couldn't take it back. The drinks!! I am definitely skipping this next time. A cocktail is $48 plus gratuity and tax means spending $55 on a cocktail drink. Nooooo!!! Even in Vegas, I didn't spend this much on a cocktail drink! I was alarmed at my check. It was so high for lunch but now I know better. Plus watch out for the 22% gratuity! The waiter wouldn't split the bill so my takeout was lumped into the entire check and had to pay 22% gratuity on the takeout!!) I gave a low score because of the sneaky high check and the food which was just ok. The food presentation was amazing though. That's a 10/10.
