Myself and a friend visited yesterday 9-26-2025. I saw online the buffett was supposedly 11.00$ plus drink. When we got there it was oxtail fridays. So, the buffett was now 18.99 no problem. As I walked to the buffett and looked at the selection. The plantain were soft as mashed potatoes and looked sad. The peas in the rice and peas were half white. The yellow rice had dark pieces of rice. I went to check the oxtail pot. (Bones) all the meat was gone the pot was hot and filled with gravy and bones. How can they expect us to pay 20$ for an oxtail buffet with oxtail bones? Thank goodness we looked before we ate. I was filled with disgust! I've been in jacksonville since 2007 this was my fist visit (2025). I will never return.

I've been going to this restaurant since they first open period I go to it today and the server does not tell me that the lunch buffet is about to close. Yet let me still sit down and say enjoy yourself. Go to the buffet there's nothing on the buffet everything is gone or scarce. No resolution from the server or the person behind the bar. I wasn't even there a full 10 minutes and didn't get what I usually would get to enjoy. It's like they didn't care to inform me but yet and still get the full price for a half a meal.. I would never go there ever again and I'm going to tell everyone not to eat their whatsoever I feel totally disrespected especially for a person of myself my caliber to be a patron of the restaurant for so long and get treated so bad like myself or my money didn't even matter. If I could have gave-5 Stars I would have

I miss the old Real Ting. I was just in for lunch, customer recognition, not for me anyway, but there was some that got prompt service. Don't ignore your customers in favor of others. The quality of service and food lately leaves much to be desired. Don't forget who your customers have all ways been.

I ordered 3 oxtail dinners for a total of $79.82. Some of the oxtails were over cooked and felt like I was chewing on rubber. Needless to say I only ate the rice and beans and threw the rest away. I then later found out I was charged an additional $10.48. The staff wasn’t that bad outside of them charging me the extra $10.48, but the wait was ridiculous. I will NEVER ever eat here again.
They have a buffet for lunchtime. On Fridays, it's all you can eat oxtails on the buffet. I had the yellow rice with rice/peas, green, brown stew chicken, and oxtails. It is very clean and very welcoming, and if you are looking for a good hearty lunch Check them out
