“I love this place! I have gone here multiple times over the past month and every time the food is hot, the service is great, and I believe the prices are fair. As a native Jamaican who frequents other Caribbean restaurants in New Haven and Bridgeport, it’s nice to have a place close to home.“

I came here with my dad for lunch to enjoy some traditional jollof, and it did not disappoint! The food was incredibly fresh, bursting with flavor, and served promptly. The jerk chicken, in particular, was absolutely to die for—perfectly seasoned, tender, and delicious. The service was outstanding, and Demi was so sweet and helpful, making our experience even better. If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful food with great service, I highly recommend this place! We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Authentic Jamaican cuisine prepared like no other Jamaican restaurant. Many Jamaican restaurants open and then close in a blink of an eye. Here today gone tomorrow. So why is ROOTSMAN KITCHEN still standing when others have fallen?
In order to compete for customers in a very competitive market you must be intelligent, creative and tenacious. Leroy has that X- Factor which has kept him in the lead for decades. Everyone I know that craves that Jamaican vibe along with the flavors that go with it always highly recommend ROOTSMAN. Long time residents of Bpt, who have relocated to towns up north, still take the drive to feast on Leroy's Pepper Steak, Oxtail, Jerk chicken, Curry Goat, Curry Chicken etc.
I personally feel that ROOTSMAN is the epitome of how meats should be prepared. Melt-in-your-mouth like hot butter on pancakes. Succulent, juicy, tender and so flavorful you'll wish your portion never ends! I hope my visits to ROOTSMAN never end either!“

“I love their Fried chicken every single time I go I get fried chicken with oxtail gravy! When I have events I order their fried chicken as well that’s how much I love it! I can’t speak for anything else but they’re fried chicken, it’s consistently juicy and not dry each time I’ve gone so I stick to it! And their rice is so airy and fluffy, not sure how they do it, but it’s good!“

“It's like walking into someone's home and you smell something delicious in the air. Then you ask, what is that? And they respond by saying that they are just finishing up cooking some oxtail on the stove. You look at the stove in the back and you say, "I'll have that."“
