Caribbean Restaurants in Dublin, GA

“Over Father's Day Weekend my brother and I travelled from the Atlanta area to Statesboro to visit our parents. My mom loves Ox Tails and I vowed to bring her some on this trip. My mom says repeatedly that the ox tails in our hometown are just not authentic enough in taste. I intended to pick up a dinner for her on Friday evening, stick it in the refrigerator overnight and bring them on trip. I forgot to pick them up that night. We left Atlanta around 8:30 on Saturday morning so there were no Caribbean styled restaurants open that early. It's about a three hour ride from Atlanta to my hometown and Dublin is about midway. On the ride, my brother searched the internet for restaurants in the Macon area but none answered or would not be open until noon or so. We would be well past that area at that time. I suggested trying the Dublin area. He called and lo and behold, Chris, co-owner of Momma P's answered the call. This was around 10-10:30ish. My brother explained our ox tail plight. Chris said that although they didn't open until later, he thought he could help and we could stop by. We did. When we got there, the restaurant door was locked so my brother called Chris. He answered, came to the door and let us in. Mind you, we had never heard of Momma P's and certainly had not eaten any of their food. Given our situation, it was either give them a try or go home empty handed. I am so thrilled that we took the first option! And that is what inspired me to take the time to write this lengthy review. We ordered two ox tail dinners and one goat dinner. We sat in the quant, relaxed styled restaurant while Chris's wife (please forgive me. I can't recall her name) prepared the orders. We chatted with Chris while she did and she joined in the conversation for a few moments as well. You could sense the genuine warmness of their personalities as we talked. After the dinners were prepared, we paid, thanked them, and continued our trip. Shortly after our arrival in my hometown, I prepared my mom's plate of ox tails, rice, mixed vegetables and plantain. As I did so, every item in the meal looked and smelled wonderful! I did the same for my father who had a sampler plate of ox tails and goat. Both meals came in styrofoam containers and saran wrapped. Even after the hour half ride from Dublin to Statesboro, I did not have to re-heat the dinners before serving them to my parents. They both enjoyed their meals. My dad even asked me to carve out a second plate for him for later that day! I had the goat dinner later that evening. After it sat in the refrigerator for most of the day and I warmed it in the microwave, everything was still refresh tasting and delicious! To Chris and his wife, we offer a sincere thanks! The quality and taste of your cuisine was as authentic as your personalities! Through our conversation, I can imagine the challenges of a Caribbean styled restaurant operating in Dublin. My prayer is that you continue to flourish and as Dublin expands, so does your labor of love! Thank you also for going that extra mile to help us. You could have easily said that we are not open yet. Instead, you listened and were motivated to open your hearts and doors to us. That gesture alone was priceless. To any would be customers, my brother and I took a chance with Momma P's, but you don't have to! Take it from us, the food and atmosphere is terrific! We have locked in Momma P's phone number. It is now our "official" halfway food stop on our trips from our homes in metro-Atlanta to our hometown. You won't regret making it your food destination as well! Bon appetit!“
