“Kingston Delight has been a go-to Jamaican food stop in North Miami Beach for over 25 years, and it continues to serve the community with its consistent, flavorful menu and buffet-style daily offerings. As someone who’s frequented this spot for years, I can honestly say it holds a special place in the heart of the city’s Caribbean food scene.

The restaurant is known for its authentic Jamaican dishes—from oxtail and curry goat to fried dumplings and callaloo. The buffet setup makes it easy to pop in and grab a hearty meal without the wait, perfect for lunch breaks or quick dinner pick-ups.

On my most recent visit, I tried the curry chicken, and while it was a bit saltier than usual, the portion was generous, and the flavor was still on point. One thing I’ve always appreciated is that even when one dish misses slightly, the overall quality and soul in the food brings me back.

Whether you’re a longtime local or just visiting, Kingston Delight remains a North Miami Beach classic for anyone craving authentic Jamaican comfort food.“

From the fried turkey to the rice and beans and the sides, you can tell everything is cooked with care and love, not just thrown together.

What really keeps us coming back is the way they treat us. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and respectful. They make sure we’re comfortable, check on us, and treat us like regulars every single time, even when it’s busy. The service matches the quality of the food, excellent.

The atmosphere is clean, relaxed, and feels like a true Haitian home, with good vibes, good music, and good people.

Whenever we’re in town, this is our go-to spot. If you’re looking for authentic Haitian food with great service, I highly recommend this place.“

“The food is terrible and a complete rip-off—definitely poor quality. Anyone giving this place 4 stars is either intoxicated or has never tasted good food. The Lo Mein is mushy, tasteless, and made me want to throw up. The fried rice is soggy, overly salty, and has no flavor. Absolutely disgusting.“

“On holiday from London, UK and exploring downtown Miami, I stumbled upon JRK on Biscayne – and I’m so glad I did! I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas, which comes with three veg sides. I went for steamed cabbage, broccoli and plantain, with jerk BBQ sauce, plus a beef patty to start. Honestly, it’s the best I’ve tasted in a long time – authentic, packed with flavour, and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. If you’re in town, you have to stop by. You won’t be disappointed! I ate it too quick to take photos, sorry - next time :)“

Also, while there, I heard this lady ordering saltfish with bread. Say What??!! A saltfish sandwich on butter bread?! Happy wasn't even the emotion I was feeling. Everything I've had from here has been tasty. The prices are also reasonable ?“

“had the chance to try Ross Bahamian Conch Shack at a recent health fair, and they definitely delivered on flavor. Here's what stood out:
Wings & Fries:
The wings had a solid Southern-style base with a Caribbean flavor twist — well-seasoned, juicy, and crispy without being greasy. The fries were golden and crisp, a perfect side that held up well even outside a traditional restaurant setting.
Conch Salad:
I also tried the conch salad, and it was fresh and tasty with a good mix of citrus and texture. The only thing it needed was a bit more spice or heat to really bring it to life — a dash of pepper or hot sauce would’ve taken it to the next level.“

“Sydni is the best server at Bahama Breeze because she’s always friendly, attentive, and makes every guest feel special. She remembers orders perfectly and offers great recommendations that enhance the dining experience. Her positive attitude brightens the atmosphere, and she handles busy times with calm and efficiency. Sydni’s dedication to excellent service keeps customers coming back, making her an invaluable part of the Bahama Breeze team.“

“I was visiting from Toronto and went to Mandeville Country style restaurant. The food was very good. It was also nice that they have a bar on the restaurant as well. A good spot to visit, the service was good and the staff are very friendly. The place was very clean. Though i went for a birthday party. There was a gentleman offering chicken soup. My experience was great... Awesome spot to stop by“

“Absolutely incredible!!!!
how can they afford this.,
The food is cooked fresh and put out there and you have a menu selection of different Rices and meats and vegetables a plate that's less than $6 I don't know how they do it... And it taste great... You will get a choice of rice a meat and a side of vegetable and a drink for less than $6..... And large portions BTW...
Typically when I order there I can split my plate for noon and afternoon meals... Again.... This is $6!!!!!!“

“If you’re from NY and want good food out here this is the place you wanna be at. The food was cooked to order, tasted absolutely outstanding. The woman behind the counter Darcel, was great for recommending if you’re indecisive.. can’t wait to come back before I leave to go back home“

I will definitely be coming back to this location!“
