I grew up in Miami but left about 40 years ago for Tallahassee. Put simply, we just don't have much authentic Jamaican cuisine available at my end of the state. So, if you're already a fan of YAAD Spice, you will almost certainly appreciate Eva's in Jacksonville. The food was absolutely delicious at Yaad Spice. I had the chicken with rice and peas and a bit of plantain. The cabbage was crunchy, fresh and tasty. The chicken was tender and delicious. We grow our own hot peppers and after some discussion I asked the cook about the peppers and learned they are using scotch bonnet peppers. My wife observed the flavor profile is very similar to our own datil peppers. Anyway, my wife and son got beef dishes which they thoroughly enjoyed. My son and I ordered ginger beer and my wife got a pineapple soda, they were a choice to accompany a great meal. I can't say that driving across the state is a joy, but stopping at Yaad Spice was an excellent choice to stop, stretch our legs and get a great meal before pushing on for a long day on the highway. read more

I ordered the food through door dash. The food was very good. Can definitely tell it's authentic Jamaican food. I had the jerk chicken with rice and peas. I also had a chicken soup. I was missing my soda from meal and called the restaurant and they rectified the situation. The food was well presented. I will be ordering again. read more

Love the chicken , however as a palm beach native/ jamaican, very disappointed in the jerk pork i just received. VERY DRY. Like it's been sitting the warmer all day losing tenderness. Please i hope better and new systems can be implemented to avoid this considering the restaurant is an amazing one. read more

The food is good! But the service is atrocious. This short lady always on her phone and you can't tell when she's talking to you or the person in her ears. No sense of customer service with a smile as her face is always dreary like mash potato. read more

Chicken curry and goat curry are excellent. Home cooked style and flavorful. The plantains are great and the cabbage also. The server was a nice guy! read more

My first visit today 4/9/26, I ordered peas & rice ($3) with oxtail gravy. My total came to $7.50! My 2 tablespoons of gravy cost more than the rice & peas. When I asked about the $7.00 special, I was told it ended at 1PM. The food was just ok. My first visit was my last visit. read more

I usually get my soup and salt fish from here. It's always been a good experience. Today, I ordered a plate of oxtails and I was very disappointed the meat was seasoned well but it was too tough (undercooked). Needless to say, I will stick with what I am familiar with. read more

This is my go to Jamaican restaurant in west palm beach. I always get the oxtails/ curry goat combo. The food is so delicious and is reasonably priced. I also get the mannish water on Saturdays but please call ahead because they're always out . The only complaint that I have about yaad spice is that they rarely pick up the phone on the first call. I usually have to call multiple times to place my to go order . They are usually busy so I try not to get to annoyed by it. Give them a try! read more

Came here during their lunch special. You can get jerk, stew, or curry chicken with rice and peas for$5.50 and it includes a water bottle. The portion is decent and good enough for lunch. I got the stew chicken with rice and beans and cabbage. The rice was good the stew chicken was alright. I've had better but for this price you can't complain. As always as for most Caribbean restaurants there is always a waiting unfortunately. Waited about 15-20 mins. read more

Love the food good customer service most definitely recommend will be buying here again

We found a hole in the wall joint near our hotel. We were there 1 hour before closing. We were looking forward to having oxtail stew, unfortunately they ran out- it must be that good. We settled for goat curry & chicken curry, it us served with boiled cabbage (sliced cabbage,carrots, peas) & rice with peas... not the green peas, brown eyed peas. Both curry was very good, the rice with peas went very well with the curry. The steamed cabbage was bland, however once you mixed with the curry- it went well. When you walked into the restaurant, you have to order at the counter & pay for your food, next to the counter was a room where you can have a meal, they do not serve water, you have to buy bottled water, so bring your own water. The girl at the counter was not friendly... it is a good thing that this was not a full serve place. read more

My friend raves about this place. Unfortunately every time I have gone, the food is not particularly good. The first time the ox was undercooked. The second time the prices have risen to almost $20 and the meat stunk. To the point where I'm not able to finish my plate. Won't be back read more

The Best glad I finally tried it. Most definitely will be coming again. The staff is very nice n helpful.

The food was excellent Great Caribbean cuisine me and my girlfriend love it!!! #islandfood

Yaad Spice Caribbean Restaurant - a meal in a styrofoam container - Caribbean Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Worst Jamaican food in the area coupled with poor service. I expect poor service from a Jamaican spot but if you see you're slammed and you're still moving at a disgusting slow pace AND THEN have hair in your food? Seriously considering calling the health department. I'm nauseous because the callaloo is mostly salt and water. I'm so livid at the fact that I gave this place a scent, let alone 9 dollars. New management. New staff. Matter fact just go to Dutch pot. read more

Great breakfast they give a lot of food & cheap lunch specials for $5.50! Service was very polite and and quick! read more

In my quest to find authentic food from various locations I take some risk based on previous reviewers. This place is definitely a fail, nothing here was good..... seriously nothing, from service to food quality. I ordered the stew chicken roti (wrapped) this was a disaster meal. The wrap came undone as soon as it was picked up and the meat was hard and chewy almost as if it was reheated several times. The oxtail was mostly bone and sauce, hardly any meat on the bones. The food just did not have the Caribbean flavors you would expect it was plane Jane.....Not worth the trip and money. Avoid! read more

At first I was hesitant because I could find only one review and figured the owner wrote it - it was a good review. But let me tell you, this place is authentic. And the chef knows how to cook "yaad" food. I'm in West Palm Beach for the weekend and 24 hours into my stay, I've already had the curry goat, escovich fish and jerk chicken; and they. have. not. disappointed!! I hope to visit one more time (during this trip) to try the oxtail. I would be remiss if I failed to mention the friendly service of Marika and her big sister, Anonymous (she was too shy to give me her name). Typically, there was a short wait for my order but I hardly noticed the wait-time due to their engaging personality and friendly conversation. Try de place man! ...you'll like it!!! btw, you can eat in or take out and the place is clean and spacious. read more

Great Jamaican food! Seasoned perfectly with a generous amount of food. The goat soup is great. You have to get there early before it's gone. Fast service and priced reasonably. read more

Workers at the front are ALWAYS rude to customers. Food is very delicious, but need a major upgrade in staff.

Seriously has the best Island food in South Florida. I'm literally addicted to their goat. I don't even like goat. Call ahead to miss the line. They have a large following. read more

Just got into WPB for a two day professional development that I'm doing for PBCSD and wanted some yardie food, looked Yaad Spice up and drove over. Thought they were out of several items, I chose the steam fish dinner. Wow, it was really good! Seasoned to perfection and just the right amount of food. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal and great characters behind the glass shield. read more

So i went to this restaurant on 6/15/19 got home and was eating my food and was almost finished and found a screw in the curried goat . I let it go and called and let them know, the girl said can come and get what what ever I want. Went there today 6/21/19 got roti instead of rice with the curry goat and the roti has cornmeal falling out of it !!! I can't believe it!! Where in the world does some make roti with corn meal and why is it falling out it. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. Word of advice STOP MAKING ROTI !! DON'T EVER DO IT AGAIN!! Gave 2 stars because the curry was good. read more

I have never had Caribbean food like this. I've been missing out. This place is good. This place is really effin' good. I got take out. Called 15 mins prior to my arrival and it was ready to go. Jerk chicken dark meat w/ rice and peas is banging. I'll make the commute from Fort Lauderdale for this. Thank you! read more

We have ordered form this place plenty of times at which there have been multiple times our order was wrong. Today we ordered 5 lunch specials, only received 4 and 2 of the 4 were wrong. When we called they gave us a hard time and the run around. We work in the operating room and do not have time to keep running out to get the correct meals. Nevertheless we had to have someone go back over there and they wanted the wrong meals back so beware of ordering because you maybe getting someone's else's food that was brought back! read more

Excellent food, very authentic, large portions. I had the curry goat, and it fell off the bone.

Generous portion, good price, and amazing flavor! They serve you one small sliced plantain with your platter, very small side of mixed greens (cabbage, carrots and baby green beans). They also sell fried fish and dumplings (incase you don't know, fried dumpling is fried ball of bread the size of a baseball with a rather sweet taste to it). I order the curry goat, with extra sauce (not an extra charge) and 1 dumpling = $10 read more

This is the best Jamaican restaurant in West Palm Beach. The oxtail is always on point. It's cooked with succulents and juiciness. I recommend this restaurant to all of my Caribbean family. But please be where service is slow. To avoid that call in your order prior to picking it up. read more

A group of us from work ordered lunch here. As healthcare providers, we wanted to support a small business. I am so sad to say that the food was abysmal. The chicken was overcooked and was not fresh. AND it was NOT brown stew chicken; more like tomato sauce chicken!! The veggies were soggy. The rice and beans tasted like it was a day-old! Quite disappointing! Definitely one and done! read more
