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.

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.

We ordered additional 4 patties to go. Everything was so fresh. Everything was so seasoned. It was so good. We finished everything and ordered an additional meal to go.

The only issue is sometimes the food is not ready when they say it will be. I had to wait an extra 30 minutes for my food to be ready past the time that they said it would be. Customer service is lacking because they don't even say "oh we're so sorry that your order wasn't ready when we said.". Thank you for your patience." They say absolutely nothing like oh well. Smh . No one's asking for anything free, just some common courtesy apologizing for an unusual wait time.

It pains me to write this ... I'm always honest though …read more.. Rob's quality has gone down since my last visit :( My jerk chicken wasn't as plentiful as prior, and it was a bit dry. My rice and beans was a somewhat hard in a few spots too. Damn! The yams were still killer, but my poor son got screwed out of them (he loved his tender goat and sides, BTW). (I called our order in because they take long to prepare). When we arrived, I was told "we ran out of yams." Uh, it was only Noon when I placed my order! Why wasn't I told then? Did they give someone else them? Of course I gave my son half of mine! It was so darn cold (we ate in) that I left my coat on! This was either an off day or Rob's has declined. Regardless, I'm not a gambling gal and am unfortunately done here!

I first want to start off by saying I have been a supporter of this establishment from when she…read morefirst opened doors at this location... From the very beginning she was always a little off in regards to poor time management, bad customer service, etc. The food however at the beginning was great, so my husband and I would deal with the quirks. I can finally say not only do I despise the horrible business owner that she is but also the food. Not sure what she did over the years (my guess is her crock pot usage) but the food is horrendous. This is how my night went. Go there, very friendly prompt young man helps me out, I place my order, of course she is out of something (she gives the most longwinded excuses). that's no problem I say. Wait 20 minutes ( shortest I've ever wAited I might add) give the pleasurable have a nice night. Drive home. Husband and child hungry. Open styrofoam containers. Noooo jerk chicken. Pretty sure i ordered jerk chicken platters... Drive back and they are astonished. She talks to the young man and seems annoyed (I should be more annoyed for the mere inconvenience) then I watch this nice polite boy scoop what looks like wet cat food out of a crock pot over the what is now cold rice and beans. She says nothing. Irritated, I just think if it was all right there in a crock pot why did I initially wait so long only to drive back because they forgot the meat. I get all the way home with now semi cold food and watch my son spit out the Mac and cheese (who knows how old it was) my husband almost choke on the bits of bones and me grazing over this "meal" in pure disgust. None the less I'm $36 dollars poorer for 2 jerk platters, side of Mac and cheese, 2 drinks. Food in trash and hungry. I never write reviews, but since it is the last time I will ever step foot into that establishment I thought I'd save someone else some hard earned money for this disappointment in a box.

I loved the Salmon with beans & rice. Not a fan of their version of sweet potatoes though (they use the less flavorful white sweet potato...if you're used to the regular orange sweet potato or yam, you might not enjoy it. Just an FYI). The plantains and meat pies were out of this world delicious!! Also, be sure to try a couple of their bottled sauces - hot sauce and their "Secret Sauce" are both made by Ziggels and taste excellent! Pick up a bottle or 2! I'll be back to try the Jerk Chicken and Fried Fish Mac Bowl!

Totally empty and they acted like I was bothering them when I ordered. I asked for extra gravy and she put maybe half a spoon extra. It was 7pm and they had a full try of oxtails- she was like searching for the ones to give me (I thought she was gonna weigh them) like they were precious. It was 20 bucks for basically 2 sides with a kids portion of oxtails and then they do that thing where they show the screen with the top option like I was gonna add a tip on top of that. I said no so fast and paid. Never again. Had I known I was gonna get 2 cups of rice and peas and 4 oxtails I would not have bothered.

Tonight ... we absolutely loved our usual (tender) Brown Stew Chicken w. collard greens, (spicy) Jerk Chicken w. mac & cheese, and (yummy) Oxtails w. green beans. Containers are now a harder plastic and a bit smaller ... but at least they don't leak or get crushed like the foam ones from before. We thought everything tasted super fresh and our family really enjoyed it. There were also plenty of leftovers too. Since there's no dine in, only option is takeout with quick pickup via drive thru window - and yes, they take credit cards. We ordered ahead and food was ready when we got there. Owners are also really nice and remembered us even though we haven't been there in quite some time. We have to try to go back there again soon!
