Twice i came here and had to wait over 15 minutes for my food to get to me. 1st time a call and 2nd ordered online. I ordered the Shrimp and chicken which they should call it Chicken with 2 shrimps. For 2 servings, I should have at least gotten four since I told them I would be there at 5:15 to pick up. Altbough the food was good, I wouldn't have paid $25 for it. My review, if you have extra money to spend on lunch or dinner, come here because the food is delicious but expect...read full review
Amazing food! The pasta Alfredo with chicken or shrimp is favorite.
Cool Runnings is great! This is food with flavor… the richness of spice and texture of slow cooked meats and stir fried veggies and I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
Cool Runnings Restaurant & Bar is a vibrant spot in South Bend that offers delicious food and a lively atmosphere. The staff is welcoming and attentive, providing excellent meal suggestions and service. The menu features tasty options like jerk tacos, addictive taco sauce, and amazing mixed chicken. The oxtails, yams, and cabbage have received high praise, while the shrimp tacos have great flavor. The Jerk Chicken Dinner with rice and mac and cheese is flavorful and satisfying, and the Reggae Pasta with Jerk Chicken is also a standout. Although the burger may have a twang taste and the sweet corn can be overcooked if arriving late, the overall experience remains enjoyable. The Green Tea shot is a must-try, and the Mac n cheese comes covered in Jamaica seasoning.
The atmosphere is nice with great music, and there is plenty of room with a stage. Service can be slow on busy days like Sundays or Saturdays. Some guests have noted a surprise 15% service charge at checkout, which has affected their experience. However, Cool Runnings offers karaoke, Latin night, and live music throughout the week. With excellent food and friendly management, this restaurant remains a solid choice for flavorful meals, fantastic drinks, and fair prices—ideal for a fun night out or a casual lunch.
