Great little place, super friendly staff, delicious food. Got the curry goat and brown sauce chicken. Small plate is a perfect lunch portion.

This is NOT a JAMAICAN restaurant. The food has no flavor, if you’re looking for authentic Jamaican food this isn’t the place for you, the rice and beans have no taste , curry goat and oxtail no good it is not Jamaican food. 0 stars.

I wish everyone has the chance to taste it once in his life

Door say they open at 11:30am but it’s more like they open when they want to so don’t go there thinking you can pick up lunch on time you will waste most of your lunch time waiting outside. The patties are really good, the food is a little bland but ok. Not authentic but watered down for the American palette. All and all a solid 3. Mid at best but those patties are a 10.

I’m from Jersey and love Jamaican food. My boyfriend is from Sanford and when he told me this was the best spot he was right. The curry goat, the chicken , the Rasta pasta just to name a few things. Everything is DELICIOUS! We just tried the carrot punch, I couldn’t stop drinking it. Best Jamaican spot in the county.

Tamera was truly exceptional—warm, sweet, and full of energy. If you’ve ever visited Jamaica or tasted food prepared by someone born and raised there, you’ll understand the authenticity that comes through in every bite. The rice is so rich and flavorful, you can even taste the subtle coconut—gravy isn’t even necessary. From the Bun and Cheese to the Rum Cake, every dish they prepare is thoughtfully crafted and bursting with flavor.

The most tasteless Jamaican food I ever had in my life, I also believe the food was old and had been sitting because it messed my stomach up badly and I never have stomach issues. The customer service was so trash I honestly wanted to cuss the lady out and they skimped me on the plate I got 6 mini oxtails for $20. The worst experience I ever had when it came to food, this restaurant should be shutdown immediately.

Friendly folks food was good my mom loved it and she is hard to please when it comes down to her Jamaican cooking

An Absolute Hidden Gem in Sanford!

I can’t believe I’ve lived in Sanford for almost 2 years and only just discovered Montego Bay Caribbean Takeout. Hands down, one of the BEST meals I’ve had in Central Florida. I ordered the jerk chicken and oxtail, and both were absolutely incredible—tender, flavorful, and packed with authentic island spices that had me scraping every last bite.

What made the experience even better were the owners—Uncle and Auntie were so kind, welcoming, and genuinely warm. You can feel the love they put into both their food and hospitality. It felt like I was visiting family, not just picking up takeout.

If you’re in Sanford or even nearby, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Support local, support authentic—this is the real deal. I’m already planning my next visit. Montego Bay has earned a lifelong customer.
