Ruth's Jamaican Diner offers an authentic Jamaican dining experience in the Stockbridge/McDonough area. The curry goat is praised as the best in the area, tasting like it's straight from a Jamaican hole-in-the-wall. The pumpkin dish is also a standout. The large brown stew chicken plate, with rice and peas, steamed vegetables, and plantains, is well-seasoned and fresh. The flaky, buttery patties, especially the spinach variety, are highly recommended. Customers praise the delicious vegetarian options, including the veggie plate, and enjoy the tender, flavorful oxtails, which fall off the bone. The jerk chicken and Jerk Turkey wing are favorites, with the wings served with sweet potato, cabbage, and a blend of onions, carrots, and peppers, giving a true island feel. The food at Ruth’s Jamaican Diner is often described as warm and comforting, like a hug from home, with dishes made with love and tradition. The atmosphere provides a genuine island vibe, though many customers have only enjoyed takeout. Customers also appreciate polite service and the great food, noting that the restaurant consistently offers good quality at a solid price. Some wish for more sauce on the brown stew chicken and the availability of Jamaican cream vanilla soft drink on all menus. Overall, Ruth’s Jamaican Diner delivers a true Jamaican experience with flavorful dishes and authentic flavors.
