“From the moment I walked through the doors to leaving. From the first bite to the last. Oneluv Reggae is five star all the way. My daughter and I eat here regularly and enjoys the meals every time. From one Jamaican to another, or just a guess looking for something enjoyable to eat this place is highly recommended. The energy is down to Earth and the price is right. Thank you Oneluv ❤️“

“YAAASSSSSS!! The food is delicious and as authentic as the friendly staff. So good I order twice today!!“

“Best Jamaican food in the DMW and I have have tried them all. Run don’t walk if you want authentic Jamaican food. You will not be disappointed. The food is consistent and flavorful. I have had the brown stew fish, brown stew chicken, oxtail and curry chicken. All have been outstanding. They have some specials that I keep missing because it sells out by lunch time. I cant wait to try the stew peas special on Weds that they make with oxtails. The owners look like they take great pride to ensure the food is always quality. This is my forever restaurant for good authentic, quality Jamaican food.“

“I was in the mood for Caribbean food last night. I was nervous because I live in Silver Spring and it's been a while since I've found a good spot. I found D&G Caribbean Grill on Uber Eats and read the reviews. I ordered the brown stew chicken, curry chicken with cabbage, rice & peas and coco bread. Everything was delicious! Since I don't drive I will definitely be ordering again.“

“Delicious! We got the chicken, oxtail, and shrimp tacos (picked the corn and pineapple pico as toppings), jerk chicken bowl (corn, jerk cauliflower, pickled slaw and pineapple pico as toppings), and angry mac n cheese. Shrimp taco was my favorite since it was the spiciest. They accidentally left out the jerk sauce I asked for and yet everything was still flavorful without it. They do offer delivery but I ended up picking it up since online ordering kept giving an error message. Ordering over the phone was a little challenging so in the absence of online ordering it may be easier to just stop by and order in person.“

“Super-friendly guy behind the counter (the owner, maybe?) who asked questions about what I like and provided informed recommendations that were exactly right! Delicious teriyaki vegan “chicken”!“

“Excellent Cuban Food and great friendly staff.“

“The food is delicious and the portions are enormous. I got a bowl with brown stew chicken, rice n peas, and plantains. It's enough food for multiple meals (for me). I just wish I'd asked for a bit more brown gravy!“

“The Food was super good and he was super nice and very cozy inside but the only problem I have is that I don't really like the hours he only works and on Saturday it says he was open he never was that's the only thing that's wrong and I wish he was open on weekends“

“This is the very best and authentic Caribbean restaurant in the DMV. The food reminds me of home so much which is Jamaica. I have some chicken soup and I felt my body and mind in Jamaica has a little girl eating with my family that’s how delicious it was. If you’re looking for delicious, authentic, well seasoned, fresh and tasty please check out this restaurant you will not be disappointed.“

“Simone, the owner, is outstanding in customer service and attention to detail. She treats every customer like family. Sitting in the backyard area was like walking into a paradise.“

“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.“

“It's by far the best Jamaican food ever! I would eat it everyday if I could. The staff is very professional and super friendly. Try the oxtail which I love with all my heart.“

“Terrible customer service don’t waste your time“

“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 👀👀👀“

“*Heads up, the restaurant came under new ownership a few months ago* (the old owners were letting things fall by the wayside it seems, thankfully new management is doing much better!) I’ve stopped through a couple times for carryout and each time there have been other customers stopping by, so it seems like a popular hidden gem among locals. Spoke with the owner and he was friendly, knowledgeable, and you can tell he’s passionate about his craft. Food was great, it’s now my go to spot for comfort food when I’m craving Caribbean cuisine- have tried the deep fried turkey, kabit goat (love the rice and beans the entree comes with!), Jamaican beef patty, and Haitian codfish patty. You may have to wait a little for the entree to come out, but that’s cause they’re cooking it fresh. They’re currently rebranding the look/ambience of the space, so will definitely be back to visit once it’s done.“

“They say: Good things come to those who wait! It was an exceptionally long wait, but, also the best authentic Jamaican cuisine that I’ve encountered in MD thus far.“

“I used to live in this area, and for the last 10 years I haven’t found anybody within three hours of my new home who makes or sell goat soup. After a full decade of disappointment, I finally decided to make the 3.5-hour pilgrimage back here for their Tuesday goat soup. And let me tell you… I’m glad I did.

First things first: the place is exactly how I remember it. The bathroom situation? Classic. You need a key attached to a five-pound bar, but the bathroom is CLEAN, so I’m not complaining. The cashier? All business with no small talk or smiles. To be fair, they were never the warm-and-fuzzy type, so I’m not docking any points off. Not personable, but efficient. Our order was correct, the wait wasn’t long, and he included a sufficient supply of napkins and silverware (which ended up being crucial to my survival).

Because listen… Ithanks to a few reviews I was fully prepared to just open that cup and drink it straight. The reviews had me thinking I’d be lucky to find one lonely piece of meat floating around (see photos). Total opposite. THANK GOODNESS he gave me utensils because I would’ve choked. This soup was packed. Full of meats, potatoes, and carrots. And the broth? Warm, peppery, loose, savory—pretty close to perfect.

Now the only con: this pot was SALTY. So salty the mutton flavor didn’t just get overshadowed—it got evicted. The ancestors definitely went home mid-seasoning. But you know what? I’m not deducting a single point. Somebody clearly lost their life flavoring this pot, and I’m going to be grateful. When I warm it up, I’ll just drop a couple ice cubes in there—cool it down and stretch the salt out at the same time.

Inside the restaurant is simple, clean, with a small dine-in area and a Bob Marley mural that fits the vibe perfectly. After reading the mixed reviews, I was hesitant, but I’m glad I trusted my cravings instead of the internet.

Will I make this 3.5-hour trip again this winter?
Absolutely. For a cup of their goat soup, I’ll fill up the tank every Tuesday.“

“if you want good carribean food this is the place.the price is fare.the waiters are ok. I've been here a few times and to say the least out of the last 5 times I visited here 2 times was disappointing.“

“Best Jamaican restaurant I ever been to.“

“Greedy Gang 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨💯“

“Best Jamaican food spot in Maryland. I have had everything on the menu at least once and the food is authentic. Seasoning on point. Jerk pork…jah jah!! Mouth-watering…I felt like I was eating jerk on the roadside on Spur Tree! The price is high…but worth every single penny!“

“I visited here on accident and was pleasantly surprised. It's very small, but the drinks are affordable, delicious, and the DJ knew what he was doing. It wasn't many people in here so yall come and support so we can keep this gem alive!!“
