Jamaican Restaurants near Rocky Hill, CT

“I’ve tried several different Jamaican restaurants because I’m looking for my personal fave in my area.
Found this spot via google search. They have the best rice & peas. Not over cooked; it’s perfect. I ordered a medium jerk chicken and a beef patty.

No complaints. 10/10

The patty…. Flaky and full!! I had one from a different restaurant yesterday that felt like a rock. It gave the frozen from the grocery store vibe. The one today taste and felt like it’s made fresh daily. Definitely going back for the spicy beef and the other flavors.“

“The food is great, flavorful and fresh.they have a variety on the menu everyday. The staff at the Albany Ave location is great. Everyone is pleasant and helpful. Arline was attentive and made sure I had the information and everything I needed.“

“This place has delicious food at a great price, we had the jerk chicken, which was huge and tender, and the jerk seasoning had the right kick if you like spices you will love it, staff was friendly unhelpful, and explaining the options - I will be back for sure“

“The best vegan food I’ve ever tasted and Ive been in the vegan game for over 20 years.“

“This was my second visit to The Dutch Pot Restaurant in Miami Gardens Fort Lauderdale, and it won’t be my last! The true gem of this place is the staff. From the moment I walked in, I noticed the genuine, friendly interaction between the staff and customers – no impatience or condescension, just warm and welcoming service. It’s rare to find such a personable atmosphere! The food was, as always, incredible. I had the curried goat, which was perfectly spiced and tender, and the oxtail was rich and flavorful. Both dishes were spot-on! To top it off, we were given a tour of the newly opened, exclusive upstairs dining area (pictures to come!), which looks fantastic. Kudos to the owners for continuously elevating the dining experience here. Overall, this is a fantastic business that deserves to be replicated – amazing food, a welcoming team, and a beautifully designed space. Highly recommend The Dutch Pot to anyone looking for a great meal and even better service!“

“Been there often when I worked in Manchester. Came in today from the other side of the State and got 3 orders of pepper steak. As always did not disappoint. Best in CT if not beyond. Sizable portions, warm and friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices. Definitely recommend’“

“(Note: This review is for the Albany Ave. location) This won't be a popular review. For decades my family would frequent Scott's Bakery. We loved everything that they offered (hardo bread, beef patty, coco bread, plantain tart and so on). When I said we liked EVERYTHING, I mean it. Everything was on point!! Yesterday was my first time (and last time) going into Scott's in about a decade plus. It is clear that management has changed (if not management, something has gone horribly wrong). The shell of the patty was beyond thick and there was little meat in it. The coco bread was beyond disgusting! It was a flavorless clump of undercooked dough. You know how coco bread is supposed to taste. It didn't taste like that at all. It seems as though they've cut corners on their peanut punch which had a gell-like texture. The BEST part of everything that I purchased was the Cola Champagne. As long as they continue to use the same distributor they can't mess that up. Maybe they had a bad day. I won't be spending money to find out.“

“Just happened to come here while driving thru and stopping to charge. The food is so good! Got a lot more to take home to the family.

I will be driving thru and charging in Hartford more often so I can come here again. It's that good.“

“Great service and great food 🇯🇲♥️“

“The food here is very good. Everything seasoned so well. Excellent customer service. I also loved the fact that it is Black Woman owned!“

“The food there is amazingly amazing 😄. I stop there occasionally for breakfast. One of my go it meal is the Kingfish. When i say it is well seasoned. Finger lickking good. The server has a wonderful personality aswell. Wonderful personality + great food. The perfect combination. Please pay them a visit you will be impressed.“

“I went last night around 9:30pm thinking they were going to tell me they were out of many items but not only did they have EVERYTHING, they also moved quick! I complimented the one girl working the register because she was doing the damn thing! even recalled my order perfectly despite servicing many people at once. Great service, food came out quick & was delicious. That girl who works behind the counter Sunday evening needs a raise!“

“I absolutely love having various events at Sun Splash from decorating for weddings, baby showers and now a retirement party! Oh the the food is delicious! Sophia is awesome and also her staff!“

“Jamaican Jerk Shack has been a staple Taste of the Caribbean + Jerk Festival and they never disappoint!“

“Red pea soup on Saturdays.? Arrive before 3pm or else.....? Stewed peas...it's criminal how good this dish is. Perfectly salty. And the porridge....the cornmeal porridge coupled with fried dumplings. I dip mine into the porridge. Inappropriate, right?? The. Peanut. Porridge. Amazing ?? Reasonable prices and friendly service. Reggae or dancehall music can usually be heard and there are always beautiful people around. Its a vibe❤️ ?❤️“

“I was disappointed because the servings of food are not consistent, one server makes sure to ask what you need and the food is good but the next server the following week really disappoint the rice was swimming in gravy it was so bad that it looked like dog food and I guess she didn't care about great service because the oxtails had 6 of the smallest pieces of oxtails that I have seen; this was so disappointing it felt like I had begged for some food. WOW“

“I get the curried chicken with rice and peas and veggies. It's excellent! The owners are extremely nice, too.“

“The staff (Antoinette) was so very calm, patient and courteous as we attempted to call in an order for three people while driving.

Her handling our various questions related to our orders; all while serving in-person customers was impressive!! She was fantastic as well as the other staff. Would certainly recommend this restaurant!“

“Food, Fun, and Music 🍷🍾🥂🍻🍺“

“Rasta Pasta on point. Presentation of food speak for itself. The tasting of rasta pasta has ingredients that is well let's just say open your smell senses and taste buds. Large portion but it's worth it“

“Enjoyed the most mouthwatering jerk Pork made by my dear friend and Chef Audrey. Sophia is such a fantastic hostess.. Will always visit whenever I visit CT..“

“A NASTY place for NASTY people, Drug dealers and Hood Rats!“

“They have the best curry chicken! The pepper steak is also phenomenal. Above all, their fried chicken is outstanding. Those are the only things I’ve ever gotten but their food is the best in the area! I forgot, their fried dumpling and ackee breakfast is also the best.“

“Delicious, fresh and homemade food. Lots of food for the price. Fast and friendly customer service.“
