“I love my liver and this the only place that cooks it like my mom and mom don’t live in Georgia so I have to go there. Even during my pregnancy 4 years ago I had to get my liver here my baby would bounce around when eating it 😂. Much thank you to Owen he answered my call this morning and say they do not take orders over the phone but I begged him to make an exception 😂 I will be coming to get it. I got there and the lady in the front was always so pleasant and she already had it prepped and ready. Thank you 🙏“

“This establishment is not to be taken lightly. First off why ? Why is their Jerk Chicken pasta so hot fresh good remember I said hot 🥵 . Remember you were warned. Today I tried the brown stew chicken it did not miss a beat. I will be here on the regular👌“

“Worth the hour+ drive to get my Jamaican food and supplies.
Delightful baked goods, prepared on site. The only place where I can get specific Jamaican canned goods and beverages.

It's a bakery, not really a restaurant, although there are a few tables inside. I went to stock up on makes goods and a few grocery items.

A winner!“

“If you're looking for a meal that offers more than just food, this Jamaican restaurant should be on your list. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by the sight of a beautiful, smiling face that immediately puts you at ease. The friendly faces behind the counter are happy to help with suggestions on what to try and even let you sample the dishes before you order. I decided to go with the Rasta pasta and jerk chicken, and boy, was I glad I did. The plates were overflowing with deliciousness, and the pasta had just the right amount of touch and love without being over-seasoned. But the show's real star was the Jerk Chicken, which was incredibly tender and juicy. What sets this experience apart is the chill yard vibes of the place, which gives off an authentic Jamaican feeling and adds to the overall experience.“

“Place is nice food was on point nice people and comedy show be funny af love the place will be visiting again“

“The food was awesome and I recommend them highly.“

“Want to take a trip to Jamaica, just to eat REAL Jamaican food?

That is the experience you will have at Tastee's. For years, the owner and master cook does jerk chicken the REAL Jamaican way. He uses real Hickory wood for smoke and taste, that is how it should be done in America. Pimento wood ia used in Jamaica because it is readily available. Hickory tastes better, though. Real oxtail, real ackee and saltfish, absolutely the best cabbage and real Jamaican herbal tonics real soursop drinks and sea moss.

Don't waste time any where else. If you want to eat take out from a real Jamaican then go to Tastee's. This establishment is not really set up for fine dining, as are most real Jamaican restaurants in America.

Take out and enjoy!“

“You just know you're in for a treat the second you walk through the door-- Everything smells amazing! 😀

The ginger-pineapple drink was SO REFRESHING! It tickles and sparkles ✨ ♥ I'm addicted. I'm about to go back and buy extra for my drive home.

The oxtail was sublime😍 Falls off the bone! Perfectly complemented by cabbage and plantains-- All seasoned and cooked perfectly, on a bed of rice that absorbs the broth.

We finished it off with the rum cake; OMG DON'T SKIP THE RUM CAKE! Sticky, sweet, spicy rum cake. A slice of heaven! Go here!“

“The food was worth the wait! Good and fresh food requires patience. We ordered the chicken meals with rice and peas. Took awhile to order just because they were trying to catch up on prior orders. Once we did order, our food took about 20mins. Everything was cooked well and we look forward to coming back“

“Great tasting food and the service is always good and friendly.“

“after my million question I definitely enjoyed the jerk, spicy how I like! beef patty not so.“

“The food is amazing and authentic. Service is always excellent and they were even accommodating to my mom's plant based needs. It was a slower day.“

“Jerk Chicken Pasta, Oxtails and Mixed Drinks“

“This is HANDS DOWN, the best jerk pork I have had so far in Atlanta, (had to get a beer to wash it down with as it was calling a for company). That's a BIG statement for me. Took me to 'Scotchies' in Montego Bay, if u know u know. The flavors are savory and spicy. tastes like my pork was seasoned for atleast 2 weeks. And the authentic smoky flavor profile was very patriotic.
Atmosphere is ok, smaller scale.. larger dining space tho (if you choose to dine in) I will recommend if the owner chooses to upgrade the space it will only add the value. This is a HIDDEN GEM. Try them out. Owned by a Jamaican Woman. 🇯🇲 She is representing“

“Absolutely love this place! Have been getting my jerk plate since 2011. I have turned so many people onto this place. Food is delicious . Service is usually really good ! I would definitely recommend this place . Only slight complain ... I ordered several different 6 count of wings after Thanksgiving . I live in Dallas Ga . Karen’s is located in Lithonia . 1 hour 20 minutes away but it’s worth it . Well now that they’re super busy with corporate accounts 2 of our orders were shorted one wing each. Issue was when we brought it to their attention the next day as it was too far to drive back the same night .....the young lady who takes the call in orders said they were aware one order was short ONE wing when they were cleaning out the fryer but denied that it was 2 missing wings ....only one was missing ?!?!? Well why weren’t we made aware or discounted of they also when they caught their error . Instead we were told that they have orders and are too busy . The lobby was full of people waiting on their food and we were told because we had an issue with “ yesterdays “ order they weren’t accepting anymore orders that night . Yet we were the only ones denied service. Who would complain about 2 missing wings ?!?! Somebody whose driven over an hour to get them!!! I have been a loyal patron of this place for over a decade. That situation sucked and worse that they didn’t rectify it correctly or at all . I still love the food tho ! Customer service is as important as delicious food !“

“I meet Auntie and she is so nice. Make me feel like-island vibes, plus they have five dollar lunch deals daily so I got 2 plates one of each deal. Highly recommend best Jamaican food in the Redone Rd., Stone Mountain area🔥👌🏾👍🏾🇧🇸🇧🇸“

“the young man that cooks in the summer time only.“

“I’ve ordered from here several times and it’s been spot on each time“

“I love to experiment new taste in this world. From the moment I walked in this resturant is about family culture. I ordered the 1lb jerk chicken and Mama's secret recipe Rum Cake! Even though I didn't even ask for the recipe, they told me. You're not gonna get it! I loved that! The chicken is succulent... moist and skin on. I asked for all dark meat and was delivered! plus the side dipping sauce for the meat as i bit into soft bleesing of this earth... was absolutely... A heaven beyond measure in flavor... not overbearing, but just a true compliment to the meat.... side sauce for meat is freaking off scale!!!! and mama's rum cake... delicate, moist, and just slightly decadent... it hits the pallete as a cake should.

If you are in the area, and don't try a sampling... you are at a loss!“

“Great Food Great People Great Beverages“

“I received great service, the owner has a bubbly personality, always smiling, and the food is really superb, really great, thumbs up to the chef. I recommend especially Jamaicans to try this restaurant. The best home cooking away from home.“
