“The kind of spot we have been waiting for in Mattapan. The location is low key and fun. The owners and staff have excellent customer service. Paul makes great drinks and can make you a nice drink off menu. I ordered oxtail Alfredo which is very rich and tasty. My favorite is the curry goat.“

“i will definitely be visiting The D Coal Pot again very soon. The food is fresh taste great and really good. I was driving and came upon this restaurant i didn't plan on going to this restaurant but I said to self stop and get a few Patties and wouldn't you know they had no Patties. I left the restaurant with Corn Soup Peas & Rice Chicken Roti Beef Roti. I also got to try a dessert I've never had before I don’t know the name of it but had Guava Sweet Potato Coconut and other things to make this dessert which was really good so I ordered 2 to go. D Coal Pot is definitely a place you must visit and get a meal.“

“This was my six-year-old’s choice for his birthday dinner! We used to frequent the South End location and since that one closed, we got delivery from Brookline. He wanted to write a review. His review is ‘they are the best cookers in the world.’ He also wants to give the meal seven stars. The food was great as usual! My go-to is the pabellon criollo, delicious and filling! Will have to come by and dine in soon.“

“Good food but highly priced, short staffed took longer r for check than food. Cash only and 20 tip already included. 130 for breakfast it’s way too much.“

“Went in to satisfy the kid’s ice cream craving. We were pleasantly surprised at all the flavor choices! Walked home after sharing a scoop of oreo and cookie dough (sort of sharing, the boy can be a bit stingy when the food is good...) and with a meal each: jerk chicken and stew beef. We each had a filling dinner last night AND lunch today. Thanks! Looking forward to trying ALL the ice cream flavors :)“

“Tiny, inexpensive ,no frills place with friendly young staff serving up classic Dominican tostados, toasted sandwiches. Takeout only, but they have plenty of outdoor seating. Sandwiches were delicious but a real surprise was the quality of the fruit smoothies! My mango and passion fruit smoothie was so rich and summery, not drenched in sugar at all.“

“I am more than happy with my recent experience with Right Taste, who catered a graduation party for me. I ordered the friend chicken , the steamed cabbage and the Rasta Pasta. The food was impeccable. The customer service is outstanding too. I highly recommend the restaurant. A1 service.“

“First time eating here after watching tooo many shows on Jamaican food. Everything was absolutely delicious. Jerk chicken - moist, fall apart with a fork and spiced perfectly. The heat is there and it stays for a bit but sooo good Beans and rice - was not expecting a coconut flavor to the rice, game changer for sure and dulls down some of the heat if you don’t like spicy chicken. Corn - roasted and flavorful. I will be coming back here again and again. If you’re in the area you owe it to your taste buds to stop in.“

“I was one of the first to eat from here when it opened five years ago in the former D'Angelo's location. They food is outstanding, the service is friendly and the space is VERY clean.That's where the compliments stop unfortunately.Despite everywhere else in the area having reopened their dining areas, this location is still Take Out only for unexplained reasons. The McDonald's across the street was one of the first to close their dining space due to the Pandemic and was also one of the last to reopen theirs but they DID reopen their dining area.We're now almost two full years after the Pandemic ended but their dining space remains closed. The only possible explaination I can think of at this point is they're keeping the dining areas closed so they don't have to bother cleaning those spaces several times a day. Either way, they should have a sign posted letting people know if the dining area is permanently closed or no at this point.That aside, the prices on the entrees have been gradually increasing. When they first opened five years ago, the Oxtail plate came in three size options (Small, Medium and Large). In the summer of 2019 they announced due to rising prices on oxtail meat, they were dropping their Small and Large options for the Oxtail and would sell the Medium at a higher price. It started at $18 and is now $22. I like their Oxtail but I'm not willing to pay THAT much for it. I'm better off buying the meat and cooking it myself in that case.It's sad that they've decided to pass those rising costs onto their customers, most of whom live in the neighborhood--myself included. Other options have also had price increases in recent years. The pandemic sucked for everyone but and people get you need to be profitable to stay in business and pay your employees but this is really pushing it.One myth/rumor I've heard for a while that I can personally confirm is NOT true is some think the food is cooked at another location and brought there. This is NOT true. All food is cooked on site in the kitchen in the back. The food is SAFE, Sanitary and good. They also take custom requests on all orders within reason. For example if you want to mix and match certain items in the same plate, you can. Just ask.“

“I placed a catering order and Ricardo was very responsive, professional, and the food was incredible! It is honestly one of the best Haitian restaurants in the area and I’m thrilled it’s so amazing! The food is consistently good! Thank you and see you all soon.“

“I was probably one of its first 25 clients, I worked in Mattapan. I can’t remember anything I didn't like. The food was always exceptionally delicious. Fresh bannann pézé, soft grio and tasso. The pikliz could have been hotter.“
