First off the flavor of the food was excellent. Oxtail was tender and flavorful. The Jerk chicken…read morewas seasoned well wasn't overly salty and spice was very tasty. The sides were also good we ordered the boiled veggies and rice. Both were very good. We ordered a beef patty as well and the crust was flaky and beef was full of spice and flavor. Food arrived swiftly as we ordered DoorDash. Was pleased with the speed of the service and attention to detail. My only complaint would be the portion size of the protein for the oxtail as we ordered a large. It seems the sides were portioned as a large by a couple more oxtails would've been nice. Overall I'll be ordering from Maroon Girls again to try some other food items

I've been to this place 3 or 4 times just because it's the closest Caribbean restaurant to me but I…read morethink I need to travel to get better service and food. The staff is on island time so much that they seem like they just got out of bed and we're bothering them to get service. That, by far, is the worst of it and the food could be better if only they weren't so afraid of seasoning

We were in Saugertes for my birthday weekend. My girlfriend had never had authentic Jamaican food…read morebefore so I went to Yelp, checked the reviews and settled on Top Taste. Mind you, I'm a bit of a food snob. Having lived in Brooklyn NY, for a while and had lots of experience with both great and not-so-great Jamaican food, prepared by Jamaican immigrants, I was looking forward to some great food and wasn't disappointed. When we walked in we were greeted by the owners and family. My girlfriend had her first experience with oxtail, I had the brown stew chicken. The food was tasty, well cooked and not too spicy. We ate-in and enjoyed the food till we were full and took the rest to go. My girlfriend had some great conversation with the ladies and told them it was my birthday. They all sang me Happy Birthday and then gifted me some delicious rum cake. If you are in the area I would suggest you seek them out.

There are picnic tables close by to enjoy your food. This food truck serves up Caribbean fare including oxtail, jerk chicken, stew chicken, fried chicken, curry chicken, curry goat, escovitch (fish), vegetable meal, and beef patties. I stopped by the Caribbean Kitchen food truck recently. I ordered the Fried Fish (escovitch) dinner ($18) served with vegetables, plantains, and rice & peas. My food was prepared to order and ready in about 10 minutes. The portion was very good, which had lightly fried snapper (topped with peppers & onions) firm pieces, shredded cabbage, carrot, peas mix, warm plantain slices, and soft sweet rice & beans. This freshly cooked entrée was very good and had nice flavors. I would definitely order this again!

Our waitress was top notch took care of our coffee and food orders with a smile on a rainy cloudy day. Ordered the Coquito latte, delicious- paired with the sweet and spicy chicken and Coquito batter waffle!! Wow the flavor was great didn't even need syrup. Loved the contrast of sweet and salty. Great portion sizes for the price. My wife got the Coquito French toast with scrambled eggs hash brown potatoes and bacon served on a charcuterie board.

We visited on a Friday at 6:30 and the restaurant had a line plus we ordered and waited 30 minutes or so for the food. I was all worth it. Get the oxtail and the jerk chicken. Oxtail had great texture and jerk chicken was grilled and actually tasted grilled charcoal. Everything was well seasoned not overly salty. Mac and cheese was some of the best we have tried. Might be a wait during dinner hours but be all worth the wait. The man was really nice and service with a smile. If you are in the neighborhood, get some great Jamaican food!

We've been hearing about Top Taste for years and finally stopped by on our way up to Woodstock…read more The space it's is small and very casual with about four tables. We came on a weekday and had no trouble sitting. You order a main protein that comes with rice, cabbage, and plantains. You can order sides of things like fried chicken or mac & cheese. We went with one small jerk chicken, and one medium oxtail. The portions are absolutely huge. It was the most generous small I've ever gotten in a restaurant... such an incredible value for just $10. The jerk chicken is absolutely delicious. I loved the rice and cabbage. It was a really satisfying meal. I also love the flavor of the oxtail, but picking through tiny bones isn't really my thing so jerk chicken is the way to go. Before you leave, you have to order a slice of the rum cake to go. It is the first time I've had fresh rum cake (not the typical Tortuga) and it was so delicious and moist, it was almost like a custard. We loved it so much, we picked up food again on our way home. You can tell this restaurant is loved by the community - definitely a special place to stop while in the area.
