I was under the weather & got their chicken/pumpkin soup with corn. Omg! It exceeded my expectations. It’s packed with flavor, with chunks of chicken & corn. It reminded me of Saturday soup 🇯🇲. Looking forward to trying more items

The curry goat is so flavorful and the coco bread with patty is so good. Definitely must visit if you are looking for authentic Jamaican food.

Ordered the oxtails and Rasta Pasta. Nice pasta and oxtails portion. I liked the side order of plantains, but wished they added more. I will definitely return while I’m on the area

The service is really poor, priority seems to be given to people they know (family and friends) and uber eats orders. You have to actively remind them of your presence by standing in the tiny window and they can’t see you due to the busy kitchen.

Prices aren’t bad but the service could be better, I understand it being fresh food, but paying attention to customers in the restaurant goes a long way.

I waited over 30 minutes and my order only began being packed when I went to the counter to remind them.

Had no expectations just happened in to this place. I ordered the loaded patty with oxtail it was delicious and I didn’t even eat the plate I ordered. I ordered the oxtail and fried chicken plate disappointed with fried chicken but the oxtail was delicious and Mac and cheese fabulous. Definitely coming back soon. Looking forward to trying out the menu.

the service is a bit slow. However, this can be attributed to the fact that Cool Shade's quality of food is fresher than its competitors. The quality comes out it the taste of the food. The dining area is small and cozy. If the service can be improved the restaurant would be around for a long time.

They are my favorite place to order Rasta pasta and oxtails from, but they are so skimp with the oxtail! Every time! And they shouldn’t be, for what they charge!

Had the Rasta Pasta- nasty, it’s Sweet
I thought this pasta was suppose to be savory & spicy . Instead it’s sweet, no spice.
