Quidley's Delight

Ain’t NOTHING delightful about Quidley’s “Delight.”

I ordered the oxtails with white rice, and the jerk chicken with rice & peas, cabbage, and plantains — and let me tell you something: this was a straight-up disaster on a plate. Tasteless. Bland. Sad. Even the plantains were soggy and had some weird, mushy consistency like they were sitting in a steam tray since last week. How you mess up plantains?! That’s actually impressive… in the worst way.

I’m a Caribbean food connoisseur — jerk, oxtail, curry, you name it. I know what it’s supposed to taste like. I even cook it myself and I’m not even Jamaican, but my food would wipe the floor with this so-called “delight.”

Let’s be real: this ain’t it. There’s no passion in that kitchen, no flavor, no skill. Just plates of disappointment and wasted money. Please, do us ALL a favor and leave the Caribbean dishes to the chefs who actually know what they’re doing — the ones who make our taste buds dance, not cry.

Charlotte has Caribbean food lovers. We deserve better than this mess.

Very disappointed in the food portion. Yes the food taste great however I barley had 4-5 ox tails maybe 2 big the rest very small. I only had four small pieces of yams and that was it. For the price Caribbean Hut food portions are WAY better. My husband plate was the same two main oxtails and rest super tiny.

Do not order carry-out and expect to have your food ready by the time you get there. Expect to wait an additional 20-30 min after your arrival. Food isn’t worth the wait in my opinion but big up to my wife. She loves it and believes it’s worth the wait.

I wish these black owned places would do better bc I really hate to give 1 star but my experience was terrible. I waited over an hour for an oxtail plate and a jerk chicken plate. I also initially ordered a beef patty I wanted hot the cashier said she only has mild. After their hour passes by and my to go order comes out there is NO PATTY. I ask for it, they say that they ran out an only have chicken even tho when i ordered it the girl told me she was putting it in the oven. Guess she never did. Bc he offered me a chicken patty that I would need to wait longer for , I simply told him I don't want it I just want a refund. Didn't even have the energy to ask the girl what happened to the patty she told me she was putting in the oven bc it OBVIOUSLY didn't happen. I won't ever come back here. First impression was a lasting one for sure. Sad, do better!

& even worse, just got home and realized they didn't even get my order right so it took them over a hour and didn't even give me my plantains for my side, really sad that I actually tipped them. Going forward no one will get a tip until after I get my food due to this experience.

Horrible customer service I called in and placed and order I was told it would be about 20 mins. I get to the store 30 mins later and they make me pay for the food then start making the order it should have already been ready. The cashier tells it will be a few mins. Well over took almost another hour. So I explained about how long I was waiting and if they give me a piece with my order for the wait they said
No and this ain’t fast food. So at that point I asked for a refund… the manager/cook walked back in the kitchen and the cashier said she didn’t know who to do one…. Are you serious???!! Just a horrible experience.

I highly recommend the oxtails or the brown stew snapper. Both dishes were amazing. As sides we enjoyed the cabbage, greens, candied yams or plantains. The chef and owner is very talented and nice.

They spend more time laughing and joking while people are waiting on their food. Took 30 min to get my food and all they had to do is package it everything i ordered was pre made. Was late to work and everything.

Food was really good , plantains were really oily though i would not recommend them .

I paid $31 for the oxtail dinner. Which came with burnt over cooked plantains. SIX tiny parts of the tail. SIX little ones. This was plain highway robbery.

Ordered oxtails HORRIBLE ... Literally nothing but fat on the oxtails. I called spoke to a manager he said there’s nothing he can do. No apology. No empathy. Didn’t even try to help resolve. Again DONT ORDER FROM
HERE YOULL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED….
