Here visiting and was in the mood for oxtails. I found this restaurant after an online search for Jamaican food. It did NOT disappoint. I got oxtails, rice and beans, and cabbage. Everything was delish and I’ll definitely be back when I return to NC.

My mom and I were in Charlotte hanging out and really wanted some country food while we were there. Decided to try this spot and they did not disappoint. This is the BEST Jamaican food we’ve had in the South. The owners were super friendly and we did not have to wait long for our food. I would definitely recommend this spot.

Came but place was closed even tho it says open pn weekends. I dun drove 25 minutes on the highway for this? Make it make sense. When a business have certain hours their open that's the time they should be open. Rite aide aint going say they're opened at 9 and not be open. This is whack

K and J’s is the place to go if you want quality & authentic Jamaican food!
Me and my boyfriend were very pleased with our jerk chicken and curry goat plates.
It is a small establishment so don’t expect and thing fancy. BUT the food is absolutely delicious.

I had not been here in a year but it was the best I had ever tasted in Charlotte. So I go there on 6/7 order two oxtail dinners, curry goat dinner. These were the WORST I have ever had. The oxtail dinners were shredded meat (because it had been boiled to long) the rice and peas were scorched (you could smell it when you opened the container), the curry goat was instant high blood pressure and boiled to death. The oxtail gravy was water ( getting low on gravy throughout the day and simply continued adding water),the cabbage was bland and tasteless. I wanted everything in separate containers because I was buying lunch for my Jamaican employees that just arrived to the states two weeks ago. The RUDE lady told me that she couldn’t give me eight containers ( the ones that a slice of cake would come in) and I am going to spend almost a $100 dollars. So I said ok no problem can I just go to Family Dollar and buy some containers? Smart as she could with a no. Ok no problem. Black businesses need to do better. You want us to spend our money but you feel after you get a clientele base you can just give the customers anything and we should accept it. I have been a chef for 35 years (Jamaican food is not my specialty) and for the amount of money that I spent and the NASTY attitude towards me when I was nothing but nice and respectful you will never get a dime of my money ever. I was so embarrassed to give that to my employees and being from Jamaican they confirmed that it was HORRIBLE. I loved the food so much that my friend that works at a hotel asked me for the best oxtails and I recommended you guys and they posted it on their board for guests to see. I IMMEDIATELY called my friend and told her to take it down. If you want good Jamaican food I suggest you try Lawerence Caribean on the same street one minute away.

Aesthetic wise, not the best. Customer service can be improved. Overall, the food was very flavorful. Some of the menu items may not be available so you may have to check before arriving. Will return to try other menu items!
Parking: Depending on the time and day you come, parking can be a breeze. But closer to the weekends and evenings the parking area can be quite busy.

Owners were more friendly after sharing with each other that my payment went through. Oxtail was slightly burnt and lacked much flavor--$28 worth. The rice was good, though a bit mushy. No fried plantains were included.
