I visited today for the first time in many years and I was pleasantly surprised at the improvement in the service and in the food. I ordered a red snapper dinner with a side of oxtails, and it was ALL superb. The staff was very friendly. I came away feeling that I was appreciated as a customer ❤️.

It's just ok I have had a lot better Jamaican food. I have eaten at a lot of Jamaican restaurants I have Jamaican kids, so I can tell a difference it's close only reason I eat there seldomly.

If could give negative stars I would give negative stars first thing that went wrong. walking through the door and no one spoke to us( three different people.) No one said a word. Then I even told the guy like hey maybe if you were more welcoming you would have tips and his response was we are welcoming and I said no it’s not, and he said maybe it’s the weather. OK bro also after getting my food the best thing you guys have is a Jamaican beef patty everything else is bland. mac & cheese? who in the hell made the mac & cheese don’t do it don’t do it don’t do it I repeat don’t come here run run as fast as you can don’t come in there. There ain’t no seasoning man.
AMAZING food. Heavy plates. Order now your taste buds will thank you.I will say the flavor of the oxtails didn’t taste like traditional oxtails, more of a sweet flavor. It wasn’t bad but it did taste different.Note to staff: Please make the curry goat a full meal!

Is it under new management? The food is not the same. The yams are straight from the can, no butter no brown sugar not even a hint of flavor. The rice and peas were dry as the Sahara. The mac and cheese had not a pinch of salt. The food was not what I expected. The picture on the wall says it all. Buyer beware.
The oxtails were awful. Nothing but bones and I paid $26 for them!! If I could rate a zero I would

Food was great.... Falling off the bone and flavorful. Service wasn't anything special but it was quick. In ordered the oxtail with rice and plantains.

Haven’t been to run a boat in 3 years due to my first experience being horrible . The food was not good but I figured it was because it was late night . Today I purchased the jerk chicken with cabbage and Mac and cheese. The jerk chicken was decent that’s why I’m giving 2 stars. However the mac and cheese is bland and taste old as if left over from a previous day . The cabbage was soggy too spicy and also looked like left overs. Will not be returning !

It hurts me to post this but where are the owners? First let me say My absolute favorite place of all time and I know exactly how it should taste. The rice and cabbage were over spiced yes they are supposed to be spicy but they were over spicy. The rice and peas were dry and were a little under cooked. My poor oxtails were bland for the first time ever, they weren’t sweet and savory like usual and I could barely taste the authentic run a boat flavor. Once again this is not to bash this is to improve because this place is usually TOP OF THE LINE! My wife and I LOVE THIS PLACE! Please correct the issues not sure what they may be but I absolutely am a supporter.
