“Stumbled upon this place because my son googled best fries in Fayetteville and so since we were out and about we hit Google maps and it brought us there. I had never heard of this place since I reside on the Northside of town...so we were there to get fries but while perusing the menu I discovered they had oxtails and placed an order with rice and peas, steamed cabbage, sweet plantains and corn bread. IMO~ it was better then most of the restaurants in Fayetteville that are known for thier Jamaican cuisine. It was that good. The fries 🍟 were also banging. Piping hot! The ones they are known for are the season ones. The crinkle fries are great too. The Staff was friendly and asked how long they had been there the reply was 5 years. Who knew?!?! I do know and will be my go to spot for oxtails. Can't wait to try the other items on the menu. I'm sure it will be amazing.“

“Everything was great! The staff, the kitchen, cleanliness of the restaurant and parking lot. Even though the kitchen was short staffed the food came out hot and correct. The cooks were communicating and working very well together as we could see see through the service window. Only thing I could ask for is maybe better portion size, but the freshness of the food and you could tell most of the food was homemade. It was worth the price and we'll definitely be returning very soon.“

“'m writing this review for two reasons. The number one is Michelle, Team Michelle all the way. She delivered excellent service and knew the menu which made ordering great for all who were at the table. Give her a raise. The second, the food was great. My friend at the table devoured his shrimp and grits. The chicken tenders with their house honey mustard, great combo.“

“Excellent tomato basil soup and the sandwich was good. Super chill and friendly staff.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience and food!! The prices are incredible for the portions, freshness, flavors as well as service. Taylor B was our server and she made the experience even better!!!“

“Great fried bologna sandwich!“

“9/27/26 and again... It is always a surprise when our food comes out so fast. The dinning room was about 3/4 of the way filled but they still got our food out FAST!!!
It goes without saying that the food is ALWAYS so amazing! And Stephanie or waitress is always so helpful and attentive. I got the shrimp scampi pasta and it did not disappoint. Chris gets the deconstructed kabobs everytime we come. She's tried the chicken and not the shrimp and both are delicious.

8/23/26: Back again... I tried another new menu item. Light but loaded bowls... I got the garlic steak bowl... WOW it was good AND filling.

5/24/26: Stopped in after church and it wasn't very busy at all. We got there about 1pm. Ordered and got our drinks right away and our food was even brought out in only about 15 minutes. GREAT service and quiet atmosphere.

3/15/2026: Newer menu items all look and sounds good. Great service and the food was amazing.
They upgraded their salad bar, more organized and just looks better. Pasta salad was delicious. New menu items, my wife had the burrito bowl, she said it was really good. I had the 6oz steak and subbed the baked potato for fries. Their fries were really good! Whole potatoes, not the processed ones.“

“I ordered a pizza and loaded fries for pickup, and my order was ready in about 20 minutes. I was looking for a cheesy pizza that tasted different from the typical pizza chains, and Taste of New York absolutely hit the spot. The pizza was hot, cheesy, and full of flavor, and the loaded fries were excellent as well. Everything tasted fresh and was prepared exactly as expected. It's refreshing to find a local pizza place that delivers great quality and a taste that stands out from the usual options. I will definitely be returning and look forward to trying more items on the menu. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great-tasting pizza in Fayetteville! 🍕👍“

It was my birthday when we came this time, and Taylor made it an unforgettable experience without even knowing it was my birthday. Amazing service.“

“First time ever at a Kickback restaurant and we were blown away!!! We ordered two appetizers and meals. We found out the appetizers were a meal. Our food was amazing! The atmosphere was so much fun, nearly everyone in the place was singing along to the music. Our total came to 87.00 and we’ll worth it. Our server was so top notch. She was friendly and never once left us waiting for her. So thank you for providing us with a wonderful experience all around. More restaurants could and should model after you. I bet you’re glad they don’t Thanks again!“

“This was the biscuit chicken sandwich I’ve ever eaten. I haven’t had it in over a decade since I’ve moved out of state, but I’ve been talking this place up since I’ve left and haven’t had a single bad experience from any of the 30+ times I’ve gone here. It’s temporary closed now, but when it opens back up, I highly recommend stopping by here for breakfast!“

“Great food, pretty fast service as well. We go here often.“

“Their chairs are freezing cold when I come there after the gym, but I still love this place. They're friendly and I can eat most of the food without feeling guilty. Get the bison burger, it's amazing. Get the app and ace your points. Getting a free smoothie when you're pinched for time is nice. You can also order meal prep for pickup, and the meals are good enough to keep you from cheating on your diet.“

“Abby has been at Next Level Martial Arts for almost 3 years now. It is wonderful he teaches them a lot. She absolutely loves it.“

“Best BBQ. Fullers treats all their customers fantastic with that scrumptious southern cookin' & THEY LOVE VETERANS! Thank you Fullers“

“The Western omelette and hash browns are good. Dont get the pancakes. They were cold, hard, and dry. If you ever eaten frozen pancakes before then you know what I mean. I shouldn't have listened to the waitress dispite her very friendly mannerism.“

“Came to eat here earlier for lunch and it was an awesome experience. The staff was very polite and the food was sooo good. Hot and fresh and worth every penny. Definitely will be returning for more.“
