He just told me this the jamican food witch means alot comming from him cause over the years I have seen him buy food and throw it away as soon as he ate it. So thank you“

“I’ve driven past this restaurant at least 40 times without attempting to stop and try, and I am so glad that I finally decided to change that today!
The service was absolutely amazing, and the food matched that. I’ve already begun telling all of my friends and family about this place, and intend on being a consistent consumer myself.“

“What a vibe. Highly recommend“

“Wow, after everything I have heard and the awards this place has received, I had high expectations. My TLDR is that some of those expectations were met, others were not.

I have been wanting to try Dogon for a while, my boyfriend finally got a res for my birthday dinner. The food was great, some of it was excellent (Ben’s Bowl, ugh that sauce!!), our server was helpful and met expectations, but I cannot look past feeling rushed during my dining experience with Dogon. Especially when the booking says to plan to be there for at least 2 hours, reservations are so hard to get, and the staff KNEW we were there to enjoy an occasion. Plates were being cleared while we were not done with dishes, or we still had food in our mouths. We felt rushed eating, we felt rushed to place an order, and pressured to order everything for the table at once. We were going to order a bottle of wine, but we felt there would not be enough time to enjoy it. In total we were in and out of the restaurant in an hour and 15 minutes for a full birthday dinner. I want to make crystal clear that our server was great, and this issue isn’t on one person. It is on the service team and their communication with the kitchen.

My dad was the head chef at one of the most popular restaurants in NYC for a long time, I know what is a reasonable expectation of a high volume, high end restaurant, and what isn’t. Pacing is something the restaurant is in full control of. Dogon should look into improving here. Even with this issue, I would still go back to try more of the menu.“

“Food and drinks… absolutely amazing!“

“Pastries, sweetbread ,bread,cassavapone and more“

“This place was recommended and I am so glad we tried it. Healthy food. So many options. I ordered the Jerk Mango Salad. I didn’t change a thing and wouldn’t. Perfect kick without being too spicy. Mango salsa was the best I’ve had. We also ordered the BBQ bowl. I wouldn’t change a thing in it. Try the Red Rice. It’s really good. Staff was quick, explained the menu and ordering process and also offered a taste of you weren’t sure you’d like something. 10/10. I’ll be back again.“

“D&G Caribbean Grill has been one of my favorite spots since they opened in Bowie. Their food is always delicious and most of all consistent, which is why I keep going back. My top picks are the curry chicken, brown stew chicken, jerk chicken meals. I'll sometimes pop in when I crave the jerk chicken patty! They never miss!

I’ve also used them for catering a few times, most recently on my birthday this year, and it’s always a hit. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the food tastes just as good as when you eat in. Most importantly, the customer service is A1 every time I go, and I really like that the owner will sometimes come out and greet you...it feels so personal and welcoming!

Their juices are so good too. The pineapple ginger is my favorite! Plus, they’ve got a daily happy hour with good drinks and karaoke night on Fridays, which makes it a nice fun vibe. My family goes several times a month, and I’m just glad to have D&G close by with great food and healthy options.

I definitely recommend them, 10/10!“

“This place is great and fast and the barbecue rib, beef is the best! The no fat and best meat and the most seasoned. I don’t like pork ribs and they offer beef ribs. The best quality too! Grateful for the money spent, I have come back multiple times for it!“

“I tried the curry wings and ?️GOOD LAWWWWWDY MY LEGS GOT WEAK‼️ That HOMEMADE sauce will introduce you to LOVE! If you haven’t, this place is definitely worth a try. This spot is like the song you skipped and later found out it was fire?. When you bite into the wings you get a bold boost of flavor that rhythms through your body. Then we get to the spicy part that’s spicy but still enjoyable! Please Support Bleu Iguana, ITS WORTH YOUR TIME AND BELLY! ???“

“Friendly employees and delicious drinks“

“The food here was above and beyond what I expected. Not that I thought it wouldn’t be good. Just didn’t expect the explosion of flavors from each dish I tried. I had the doubles and goat rice platter. I’ve never had doubles and curried goat with so much spice and depth of flavor before. Highly recommend this restaurant. The curry is amazing. Will definitely be back. Service is a little slow but they are a new restaurant so they gotta work out the kinks. Again, highly recommend.“

“just want to say thank you to chef Dwight for an amazing birthday party the food was fabulous everyone love it and they like your stile it's not the regular jamaican food thank you.“

“The service at Negril Eatery located at 331 Montrose Ave, Laurel, MD20707 is the best. I rate this place a 10/10. I highly recommend this place for as you say well -seasoned food.“

“Really enjoyed the chicken roti. Looks small but perfect portion. Can’t wait for you guys to come back to The Edition“

“I had oxtails, wings, Mac and goat! All of it was 👍🏿“

“I got the chance to visit dat jerk with my father recently. I gave him the option going to silver diner or dat jerk. It took a sec for us to get our bearings but we were overall pleased with the options we ordered. The restaurant was very clean and had large portions of food which I believe matched the cost of food. I loved the roti. The wrap itself complimented the flavors inside. I opted to get the sauce on the side which was not the play since it wasn’t enough. Definitely won’t make that mistake again. They had a friendly staff that helped to guide us through the menu. I definitely look forward to going back.“

“I recently hire the Yaya’s food truck for a birthday event that I was having at my home. From the first inquiry, the customer service was excellent. Next, they also offer food tastings to ensure the flavor (salt, spice) is to your liking. The day of the event, they showed up before the scheduled time to ensure they meet the expectations of the contract. Additionally, I don’t order enough rice for my guest and they were generous enough to make more rice instead of telling my guest that no more rice was available. I definitely recommend Yaya’s Trini Food Truck.“

“GOOD FOOD REMINDS ME OF BACK HOME ... NYC NAROC I ORDERED THE SHRIMP ROTI AND SOLO COLA ... VERY IMPRESSIVE TASTE“

“Got some grub at the Eastern Market from their stand. They gave me a massive portion of goat meat and Jamaican jerk chicken, rice, and macaroni and cheese. Everything is delicious and they were so friendly! Standing out in the rain to serve people. Recommend!“

“BEAUTIFUL restaurant! A true gem! 💎 DELICIOUS dishes from jerk chicken, lamb chops, salmon, codfish cakes, brussel sprouts, broccolini, seafood chicken pasta (menu has a wide variety) and an array of specialty cocktails. The staff and ambiance of the upper/ lower levels were very comfortable and artistic elegance! I can't wait to return.“

“This establishment serves the most flavorful Jamaican and African cuisine in the area. Maryland, DC and Virginia hands down the BEST! Portions are plentiful and Susie is an amazing cook and great host. Very much worth the drive. Flavorful Flavor Flavor!! I'll keep coming back!“

“Love this joint! Food is fresh - and here's a rare word these days - plentiful!“

“The best restaurant in USA“

“Good food, professional service and, the best Coco Bread in town!👌🏾💯“

“Delicious meal. This woman Joan can cook. Everything was cooked to perfection, tender tasty. I ordered Egusi soup!!! She was kind and had great service too. It’s also one of the less expensive places I’ve seen. I’ll be gone my back today.“

“The veggie patties are great but the service could use a bit of fine tuning. A hello and thank you for coming in would have been great!! I like to feel some level of appreciation for spending my money somewhere. The two hour round trip drive makes this point even more impactful 👀👀👀“

“Food is really good, one of the best African restaurants I been too, not too many African places can make good tasting food, this is my 2nd best place.... I went yesterday and had the Jolloff rice with goat meat, and my domestic partner also did too, goat pepper soup, pounded yam and egusi soup. The lady their is really nice too, good customer service.“

“Terrible customer service don’t waste your time“

“I will say my first visit was decent with Kia and her service skills are absolutely fun while being helpful. I did not get the round ball that I ordered but I came out with a lot of food and drinks. However the LARGE Oxtails was very lacking on amount vs the price point and plantain is a separate purchase instead of a few pieces on the meal. The Akee and Saltfish had 2 or 3 dumpling underneath so very little ackee and Saltfish for that price. The Jerk Mac and cheese was on the almost stale side. I wasn't fond of their brand of Sorrel as it had a weird after taste. Didn't like either the fruit nor the other rum cake but those are not their fault as they are prepackaged options. The gentleman there was helpful in packing my huge order but sadly I won't be returning. Money spent there vs value was very lacking.

Parking: Decent amount of parking shared with other businesses in the strip shopping center“

“Awesome food, great service & awesome energy!!!“

“Treat yourself to this delicious food!“

“Drove from Germantown to this restaurant and I was not disappointed. As soon as I pulled up and saw how the building looked, I knew the food was going to be bussing. I got the oxtail platter n it was so good. My son also said the jerk Mac and cheese was good. Customer service was also great 10/10“

“I love ❤️❤️ your tasty food.i will definitely come back again and again.You rock 👍“

“Great customer service. Experienced an issue with a third party ordering app and the owner contacted me separately and apologized w/ a refund. I wasn't able to make it back for a little while and the service & food was still great upon return.“

“Best Jamaican restaurant I ever been to.“

“Greedy Gang 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨💯“

“This is a nearby spot and couldn't be happier if it were any closer I'd be there everyday. Mama is the sweetest woman so hard working and very kind. The food is made with love and is worth every cent it's not expensive but it's worth every dollar. My favorite dish is jerk chicken, white rice, cabbage, and plantains with a side of coco bread?“

“Imma hip you now, the tostone nachos with the shrimp *chefs kiss* and their spin on. Eggs Benedict is also good. Beautiful food that's looks just as good as ot tastes.

Kid-friendliness: During a certain time of day its family friendly. After 5pm it's still a chill vibe but remember adults don't give a jolly good damn bout your kids. I came to drink FINE DRINKS LIKE IM NOT IN DC??‍♀️“

“My first time, but definitely not my last. I was welcomed, at the door by an employee. The service was good, as was the food. The ox tails were exceptionally delicious and so very tender. I will be returning for more.
THANKS PARADISE ISLAND GRILL!!“

“What a great place!! Food: delicious 💯 Place: beautiful💘 Drinks: excelent 💯 Services: Fast and Friendly 🧑‍🍳 Yes, I recommend Cuba Libre Rest. DC“

“What a nice spot. I read the reviews and HAD to see if they were telling the truth… The Mac and Cheese was AH-mazing definitely NOT from a box! The Popeye smoothie was so good and refreshing. I also had a jerk chicken salad. Although just a salad it was still packed with delicious flavor. Jerk chicken patty was on point and super fresh. I will definitely be back for more!!!“

“Quick service, food is great.“

“Well I ordered a beef roti and got a chicken roti. It still taste delicious but not what I wanted. The goat roti was everything. The pholourie was life!“

“I love ❤️❤️ your tasty food.i will definitely come back again and again.You rock 👍“

“Soooo good! Ordered catering for a family event and from the first bite everybody wanted to know where the food was from. The jerk salmon, chicken and cabbage is amazing! The white rice.. no words!“

“I hard a curry goat with rice and peas. This dish is my favorite and no one should cook this sissy and get it wrong. I must say, it hit the right spot on every bite. Thank you 😊. Highly recommend that you eat at Spice restaurant. The rum cake was ever so delicious 😋. Thank you.“

“My sister and I try out new jamaican food spots a few times a year but this spot has not been topped yet. Appreciate you Jamaican Country Kitchen!“
