Order the curry goat dinner. You're welcome.

First time here so I wasn't sure what to order. I got the jerk chicken dinner which came w red beans and rice (which I don't eat) & cabbage. I told her I didn't want to rice. I ordered Mac and cheese & cabbage (wasn't aware it came w the dinner already. Total came to $20.07 , I was like damn & it's cash only . There's an atm there so I would recommend having cash on hand. Wait wasn't too bad; 10 mins. I get to work & guess what THERES RED BEANS & RICE IN MY DINNER! They packed it in there too . It went in the garbage ‍. Cabbage has good flavor, Mac and cheese is salty and box at that. Chicken was dry and had flavor. Not sure about returning due to the high price & food I didn't ask for. read more

We looked this place up on yelp because we wanted jerk. We walked in and the place was packed. The cashier was very friendly. We ordered the stewed turkey necks and some jerk chicken. The food was delicious! The turkey necks were the best I ever had. This is a little hole in the wall but the food was great and fresh! We will be back! read more

Vee & E definitely has that hole in the wall quality to it when you first see it from the outside. When walking inside my nose was greeted with a wonderful scent so that was a good sign. There's a couple tables if you want to sit down but there's not a lot of dining space so you're better off ordering to go. I called around noon time for a jerk chicken lunch which the friendly lady on the line said would be ready in ten minutes. I live about fifteen minutes from there so I immediately left home to pick it up. My meal was there waiting for me when I arrived. The service was great as well when paying for the meal. The lunch portion included red bean & rice along with cabbage. Overall everything tasted great and it definitely tasted like jerk (not bbq) chicken. The jerk sauce container was very tiny but thankfully the meal was flavorful enough that you didn't need the sauce. I was wishing though I had a little more food but I was satisfied so it was just enough. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other offerings. read more

Vee & E Original Jamaican Jerk Chicken - Heh my lunch does look like a snack but smells great. - Caribbean Near Me - Gary, Indiana

Doesn't look like much when you walk past but it was lit lit. There is not one item in this restaurant that is distasteful. I got ordered a whole chicken catfish oxtails Beans and rice cabbage spinach a beef patty and the worlds best mac & cheese hands-down this place is truly a gem I traveled about an hour and a half to enjoy this place totally off of word-of-mouth, this place did not disappoint. read more

Sooooooooo disappointed. I tried calling the resturant several times before going only to no have anyone answer the phone. I wanted to see if they had Ox Tails before I drove all the way there to only find out that they did not. Against my better judgment I went ahead and drove there and guess what, thats right no Ox Tails. Mind you this was on a Tuesday at about 1pm and they open at 11am. So I choose a wing dinner as a substitute. These had to be the smallest whole wings I have ever seen in my life. How they would even serve them is beyond me. The chicken was to salty and to dry to even eat. I regret the entire visit. I have had their food before and it was good which is why this is even more upsetting. read more

I remembered I liked the food here a few years back but NEVER will and never went back because they are charging an arm and a leg for stuff that is cheap to buy and prepare and ON TOP of that the portion sizes are really, really small. Like going to a "Yuppy" restaurant. Give me a break its Good food, not amazing. read more

Always love coming to this place...tried the the turkey neck lunch plate last week... DA. BOMB. read more

I really enjoyed the jerk tacos they had to offer. I went back both days when I came to visit Gary. Staff was very friendly and nice. Ate the food so fast I can't even upload a picture. read more

This place needs to be inspected by the public health department. I was extremely disappointed with my food. They are intentionally serving/selling old food. Food is not freshly prepared. Old food frozen and microwaved! Tacos were spoiled... I smelled rotten chicken immediately. Portion size was not reasonable. With the exception of the over cooked rice & beans. Restaurant is very dirty. My suggestion..... go somewhere else. I will not patronize this restaurant again. It is obvious that this business is Not in business to win. read more

Very good jerk chicken. Some places try to overwhelm you with hot spicy sauce but not this place. The chicken is seasoned so well that their sauce is really not needed. (The sauce is awesome though) I've also had the curry goat which was excellent, tender, great flavor, and not over the top on the curry. Cons: no debt card,(go get cash it's worth it) don't really understand what their saying behind the glass, (just order and give them money) not enough jerk sauce for the portion of chicken-it's a tiny container and if u want more it's extra. read more

Never fails on the goodness! The food is always tasty. I appreciate the kindness of the reps who take the orders. Of course I wish I could do electronic payments but the use of the ATM is worth it for such great food at great prices. read more

This is the best jerk chicken restaurant hands down in the city of Gary! No disappointments at all! Will def be returning for more!

Food is okay when they get your order right, they NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE WHICH IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL, they will not even be busy and still will not answer the phone, the older lady is sweet and professional but when she is not there the service is trash. read more

The food is obviously pre cooked and not served that hot. They don't even have a card machine. All they're meals come with red beans and rice which is gummy and overcooked and cabbage no substitutions which is dumb. The jerk sauce not spicy this was probably the worse Jamaican food I've ever had but if you have mediocre taste buds then this is the place for you read more

I tried going here 3 time, and couldn't get my food. two of the times I couldn't find a place to park. The wait time was unbelievable. I can honestly say I will NOT be back ! read more

can barely tell if they're open but they are!! Food is amazing best jerk I've had in Gary,IN

Very good Jamaican food, especially the jerk chicken and curry goat. The best in the midwest. Highly recommended.

Best jerk chicken around I frequent this joint a lot I took a couple of buddies here and now they go there all the time too

Food was good but portions for dinner are small and it could come to about $13.50 with tax if not a little more. Don't be stingy with portions size. The place needs cleanup, they don't have necessary equipment , the equipment they use came from a private home such as refrigerators read more

I'd love to review them but unfortunately they do not take debit cards. Cash only. I guess McDonald's will get my money oh well.

I heard about this place a couple of years ago and finally went. The jerk chicken salad is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! I go to get it allllll the time. Lots of fresh spinach and chicken. I NEVER use any dressing, u don't need it. I've sampled the chicken dinner also, but nothing else. I CAN'T GET PASSED THE DANG SALAD, lol. Definitely a must try!! read more

Very good jerk chicken, and I tried the curry chicken and it was delicious, nice portions too.

I've been a customer of this place since they were selling plates at the flea market. Everything I've tried from them is really good. When they first started they were very generous with the servings. You definitely got your moneys worth. It was the best deal around. Unfortunately they're not as generous today. It went from the best deal around to a good meal. Definitely stingy compared to how they once were. Still a good meal though. read more

I've had all kinds of jerk chicken throughout the years &I even make my own but vee & E is the best hands down...

My sister and tried it today for first time I had the lunch jerk chicken and it was very,very GOOD. My sister had the Ox tails with corn bread ...she still licking her finger. We will be back on the weekend. read more

I ordered a jerk chicken dinner and had 3 small cut up pieces of chicken which looks far less than what I saw in the photos. For the price of the food I expect to get a fair portion of food, in this case chicken. The Plantains were soggy and gross. I paid $16 for this crappy meal. This will be my first and last time there. I should have listened to Brian S. If you want Jamaican food at a great value for your buck, take the trip to south side Chicago. I always have leftovers when I go there. read more
