Best Taste Jamaican and American Restaurant offers a great menu selection with delicious food. Customers highly recommend the stew chicken with cornbread, Mac and cheese, collard greens, and yellow rice. The jerk chicken is a standout dish, and the portions are generous and filling. The jerk shrimp is made to order and well worth the wait, with spicy seasoning balanced by a cooling magic sauce. The stewed beef is highly praised, with a savory gravy and a subtle sweetness that makes it special. Rice and peas are perfect with the gravy, and the macaroni has just the right tang of creaminess. The cabbage is described as dreamy, and even the teen is obsessed with it. Oxtails are tender and juicy, making it easy to enjoy every bite. The restaurant also offers moist cake slices with just a touch of sweetness, including flavors like lemon, strawberry, and vanilla, all pleasantly dense and flavorful. The owner is a friendly and hardworking presence, often working in the back and cooking the best dishes. Plenty of seating is available inside, with everything packaged in to-go containers. Prices are around $13 per person, making it an affordable spot for flavorful Jamaican cuisine. Although the restaurant might look unassuming, it serves authentic and tasty dishes that make it a must-try for fans of Jamaican food. Recently, the food has been described as some of the best in a long time, with perfect oxtail, delicious sides, and excellent customer service, all in a cozy atmosphere. Vegetarian options are available, including a veggie plate with meatless sides. The place is family-friendly, with a welcoming staff and a warm environment.
