Their oxtail is amazing. I have tried Jamaican all over queens and none can compare. Their jerk chicken is also amazing. Service is quick and easy read more

Firet time and was very pleased especially with the spices. I am not a spicy kind a girl ( with food that is lol). But they had the right amount and a very healthy portion of food was given. I am currently watching my grandson in Jamaica Queens and see the place is in Long Island. Used Uber Eats and delivery was quick. I will definitely be ordering from here again and seeing what else they have to offer. Plus I have enough left over to eat tonight with my wine read more

Yard Flavors - Oxtails, rice and peas and plantains with salad - Caribbean Near Me - Elmont, New York

Wow ... a down to earth comfort food! Will definitely order from them again. It's 30 min away, so next time I'll order four or six, ha ha ha - yummy and delicious, thank you. One thing I think to set people (in general) off might the small bones in the ox tails, etc. but I'm a bone lover so they're my type of guys or gals, ha ha ha ... wished they're closer. We washed it down with Bogle old vine Zin 2015--great pairing. Jamaican curry: stealing fm wiki--African cuisine developed on the island as a result of waves of slavery such as rice and peas, Callaloo from the Angolan dish "Calulu", and Jerk chicken from West African seasoning techniques. ... and there are more, of course ... check out. indentured labourers from India (in Asia)... and the British ... I remembered one of the nannies came for interview, who said pointedly that she was from the Island ... her English is far better than mine. Go, order from them and support them -:) read more

Yard Flavors - a pie and a salad - Caribbean Near Me - Elmont, New York

Oxtail meal comes with a rice and two sides. I got salad and plantains. They definitely pack your plate with food. But the food was only okay. It came cold. Unsure if it's due to the Uber driver. The rice was crunchy. read more

Yard Flavors - Oxtail meal - Caribbean Near Me - Elmont, New York

This is the first time ordering from this place on UberEats. I have to say, I really enjoyed my Jamaican breakfast. It reminds me of back home in Jamaica. It was extremely tasty and I am not fond of everyone's callaloo, but this was so good. My plate pics don't look the greatest, but it's the taste right? Lol. Callaloo, saltfish, white yam, banana and boiled dumplings. I also had a small cornmeal porridge! Everything was SO GOOD! read more

This place is a hit or miss. With food and extra product. If you have something on the menu why is it never in stock? They advertise they have Irish moss but for some reason when it's a certain girl at the front it's never in stock but when it's another woman it is. Are they hiding it for some reason? It's ridiculous I have to keep calling to ask and I get mixed answers. Very sad. read more

Jerk chicken meal is still relatively inexpensive ($11.50). Yard is one of my go-to Jamaican takeout joints. Food is consistently good: 4 pieces of chicken, some steamed vegetables, two small pieces of plantains, and mounds of rice and peas, typical of all Jamaican joints. I go for a late takeout lunch. Soap opera is always on the television, the volume LOUD, which I just don't get. Service is friendly enough. Located on Hempstead Turnpike; parking in a lot in back. Today's (5/11/22) gravy was spicier than usual, which is fine by me. Delicious,, satisfying meal, well done. Recommended. read more

Yard Flavors - Caribbean Near Me - Elmont, New York

If I could rate ZERO STARS I would. I carefully looked at reviews for this place. So I decided to order through Uber Eats. Me and my baby were enjoying the Hominy corn until guess what?! A HAIR in my FOOD. I'm disgusted and enraged because my baby was eating from it. This is DISGUSTING. I will never order from here again. read more

Yard Flavors - Nice little hair on the top left. DISGUSTING - Caribbean Near Me - Elmont, New York

Love this place and usually stop by to pick up a couple of things whenever we are in the area. Oxtail, patties are delicious. Just a little surprise during recent visit and picked up 6 Jamaican patties and when I asked for pepper sauce they charged me 50 cents for a tiny container read more

Yard Flavors - September 2021 price for patties $3 each. Pepper sauce extra .50 cent charge each container - Caribbean Near Me - Elmont, New York

I ordered a jerk chicken with white rice and salad. The rice had curry goat gravy which was delish. The 1 piece of chicken I had was okay a bit dry but they needed to add jerk sauce which I requested but never got. And after eating the salad and some rice I found a good amount of the chicken was inedible and burnt would I order from their again? Yes, I think it was just a bad batch or mistake read more

Let me say this ... I've been comming to this food establishment since I was 21 , I enjoyed eating here but after this non tasteless , curry goat that taste like there is no season and they just shoved it in a pressure cooker I fucking give up!!! Like seriously whoever the chef is PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU STOP COOK !!! Look at this rice they gave me also , it taste like Chinese rice when you leave it in the fridge over night.... like the bottom of the rice , like it's stale I WILL NEVER EVER EVER GO BACK HERE !!!! I wasted 15$ on this bullshit plus a "spicy" patty that had completely no flavor I'm throwing this bullshit in the garbage !!! read more

Food is good and proportions worth it for the price !. Roti skin is Ridiculously overpriced though ($7.50 plain)

First and foremost I don't mess with many Jamaican spots. Not because I'm racist but because they all literally taste the same and over charge you for a heavy plate of rice and peas, cabbage, 2 plantains, and a minuscule amount of meat(pause). This place ain't no different. Bumbaclot. read more

Great food, got take out, oxtails are so tender and the rice is soft. I've also had their fish before and it was really yummy too. My coworker always orders there a jerk chicken and she loves it, read more

Food is good but can get rather pricey for their seafood items. The portion sizes are plentiful and can be shared. Therefore, I go only as a treat. read more

Employees are rude as hell. Ordered food on Grubhub and they cancelled it after they accepted the order and told me they had nothing I ordered meanwhile they had served people the same things I ordered. Lady told me that the app has everything unavailable and when I showed her it doesn't show unavailable she continued to argue. Will never order again due to employee incompetence. read more

I ordered medium rice and peas w/ fried chicken and oxtail gravy and a side of Mac n cheese,.. 1) the Mac had no taste... maybe tasted like clay 2) tried to charge for gravy 3) idk wth a gwan but they need to fix it ASAP read more

Love their jerrk chicken. Portions are huge. Me and my 7 years old son couldn't finish one dish. Their baked items are also good specially beef petty with cheese read more

Yard Flavors - Enormous portion of jerk chicken with oxtail jerk sauce. - Caribbean Near Me - Elmont, New York

The food here is just ok at best. They have good prices compared to other Jamaican restaurants in the area. The curry chicken is always pink inside, which is a no for me. Their roti is not fresh. Veggie patties are amazing, but they run out fast. Curry shrimp and chicken soup is always great. Salmon is always$15+ and only served in large size, which is not good if it is just for one person. Rasta pasta is super oily, and sometimes inedible. Most of the servers are friendly with the exception of two who just always seem mad. Maybe it's because I'm not Jamaican. I've been skipped multiple times when trying to order and even walked out once. I'd only go here if I don't want to drive to golden Krust on linden. read more

I stopped for the $7 lunch special of rice and peas and jerk pork. At least it looked good in the display case. I received a heap of rice and peas and the jerk pork was smothered in BBQ sauce. The sauce was reminiscent of the generic brand from the bottom shelf of the supper market. After four bites, I couldn't tolerate the flavor and threw it out. Don't waste your time or money at this place. You'll be very disappointed. read more

The jerk chicken at "Yard Flavors" is the worse I've ever tasted. I should've known better when the waitress took it from a pan under the counter covered with foil. The jerk chicken was tasteless and cold. I will not return to eat there again. read more

So a little about this place the service was great fast and awesome... now for the food the Jerk chicken I wouldn't recommend but the stew chicken and rice and peas with the potato salad was delicious (except for the fact that I had to add salt to the potato salad) the Jerk chicken didn't really have that island seasoning on it but other than that it was great read more

This is good jerk chicken. There are a few places around this area that have good jerk chicken, but this place is different. With other places, I find the employees to be aloof (see my review of Percy's Jerk Hut for more details). They run out of food and the wait time, even when you call ahead, is unreasonable. With Yard Flavors, they are fast and friendly. The employees (owners too) are pleasant and appreciative of the business. On top of that, the food is great. read more

It's a shame that my review isn't at least 4 stars, because the jerk chicken I ordered was SO DELICIOUS!!!!!! Unfortunately the chicken was cool, like it had been sitting out. If the jerk chicken was hot it'd be worth 5 stars. I'd still have taken off a star because I was charged $5.44 when the price on the board was $4. I'll keep searching for a local jerk chicken spot! read more

Good parking, friendly faces, great food! I stopped here on my way to do some shopping & was blown away at the experience I received. The jerk chicken was by far my favorite!! the portion sizes & prices aren't that bad either. My Friend got the Oxtail & she enjoyed it as well. read more

Ok soooo we waited for jerk chicken to be cooked about 15 min....then waited for soup to finish....another 10min.... Anyway, jerk was dry but ackee was tasty. Will we return? Not for jerk, but ackee yes. :). Staff nice prices ehhh read more

I don't understand how this place has so many good reviews. This place is the worst Jamaican restaurant. The mature lady had an attitude. I was looking at the menu. Then I ordered oxtails she said oh the price had gone up the menu is wrong. I said ok no problem. The rice had no peas and while she was making my dish. I noticed she was giving me bones instead of meat. I mentioned it to her and she took all the meat out my dish and start to make it over again. What a attitude she had. It's not like I wasn't paying for it. No steam veggies she said with more attitude. I only have salad left. I said ok she was about to put it in my oxtail gravy. I said can u put it separate. I looks can kill boy. It's so sad I live close but will never come back . Take notes customers like to be treated nice. You definitely lost my business won't come back here. The food is disgusting. read more

Really great Jerk Chicken. The Oxtails are reasonably priced. The portions are generous.

I ordered the curry chicken last week and I am very disappointed. This is not my first time. It was ok the first time but when I got it the other day it was just watery and has no color nor flavor. The rice was ok read more

Excellent. Authentic jamaican food. Large portions. Very fair prices compared to the city. I live in queens and come here for good food all the time! Ackee and saltfish is delicious btw!! read more

Yum yum yum... Some good yard food! I didn't expect that from Hempstead , Long Island ! Yum yum... I will come again, you hear!

Was in the area yesterday for a work training and thought I'd give this place a try for lunch. Their lunch special prices are reasonable and includes a drink. I got the oxtail with rice and peas, vegetables and a piece of fried plantain to go. Since there is a $10 minimum to charge your card I ended up ordering the peppered shrimp as well. The oxtail meal wasn't anything special, the rice and peas was bland and the oxtail was mostly inedible fat and bones. The peppered shrimp which I ate later were super spicy, which I expected so it'll take me a couple days to finish them, lol. The 2 ladies behind the counter were friendly and patient when we were trying to decide what to order :) read more

Love this place, the staff is nice, the area is clean and well kept and the food taste great!!

Love the jerk chicken remind me of what I would get back home... The oxtail is good but they need to clean the fat off it..too fatty yuck... Other than that overall the food there is very good read more

Ok-I have a responsibility to post when I really enjoy a restaurant, not only when I don't. I just had the curry chicken roti from Yard Flavors and it was perfect!! The right amount of curry, pepper and salt. I thoroughly enjoyed it today and always enjoy whatever I get but today was exceptional, kudos to the chef!!! read more

food is excellent!!!!!!!!!!! (the best chicken soup ever!! excellent curry shrimp... and more...). place is clean. service is great. recommend to everyone. read more

Outstanding favor, well priced, and great service. I'm new to the area and this is my first stop!

Food is really good and portion size is perfect. You get what you pay for here. Staff is always courteous polite and respectful. I like that they do not have to know me to do their jobs in an awesome way, just walk in and you are treated like Family or a VIP. I prefer this to Yardies Restaurant on Elmont Road, Elmont, NY for all the reasons above. My mother and all my eight sisters and I eat here, they do not know we are relatives and we all have experienced excellent service when we go here. I plan to keep spending my money with your business and I hope to see you expand in the future, just keep the customer service excellent because that makes you stand out from the rest. I really want to say THANK YOU GUYS :-) :-) :-) :-) read more
