“Great place, great environment and good vibes.😀“

“Great local spot with great vibes, food and drink. Creative fusion as well. Luv the Oxtail Dumplings and Braised Rib Bao Buns!!!“

“The food was delicious, the only reason I did not give it five stars because there two burnt
Oxtails in the bunch. Oxtails are now $5.000.00 dollars. There is no such thing as burnt oxtails when you
Paying money to the restaurant to prepare and cook. I purchased the largest meal I could find. Instead of getting rid of it you put the burnt meat on my plate . I was so busy admiring the place I didn’t see the man put the burnt meat on my plate for
My take out order. Next time I will keep close watch if I decide to come back
Or not. That burnt meat disturbs the taste . Next time I will keep close watch. The rice even smelled burnt thanks to those burnt up pieces of meat. Jerk chicken was good Mac n cheese good. Nice and clean establishment . The end“

“I was unfamiliar with this restaurant, but my husband received a gift card from his colleagues at his retirement party. We came for Valentine's Day and were very pleased with the choice! We started with Old Fashioned and Fried Green Tomatoes. Perfect batter and crunch. The bacon jam gave the perfect amount of bite. Mr. TSwi had fish (sorry - no photo). I had the garlic clove stuffed filet. It was fork-tender and so delicious. Potatoes fried in tallow butter were decadent. We had the Bread Pudding for dessert - and the leftover for breakfast Sunday morning. Overall, great value for the quality of the food. Not ridiculously expensive. Not ostentatious (TSwi wore jeans and a blazer and was well-dressed compared to others.) We will look forward to coming back again soon.“

“After moving to Bergen County I was on a mission to find the best Jamaican food spot. I’m from Queens, NY and I miss my South Ozone Park / West NY food.

I go to a gym nearby and just randomly found this spot and thank goodness I did.

The food is really good, everything is well balanced in terms of flavor and the hospitality is great.

We’ve all seen that “we don have dat” video and this is the opposite. If he doesn’t have it, give him a minute to work his magic. Your patience will be rewarded.

If you like good seasoned food, just give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. I know I wasn’t. I’ll be coming here every time I crave oxtails and fried chicken.“

“My husband and I are regular customers. I thought, what better place to celebrate my.. twin sister and | 50th birthday party at our. favorite spot. And so we did! The dinner party turned out wonderful! The staff was professional and friendly. The decor was beautiful. The food was delicious! Thank you Drips for making our night so special!

“Oxtail was a 10/10, absolutely amazing, and all the sides were great. I wasn’t a big fan of the brown stew chicken (the chicken itself was a bit dry), but the stew was rich and flavorful.
The atmosphere was perfect for a date night or a calm dinner. The owner’s wife even stopped by to let us know they have jazz on some Fridays and weekends, which was a really nice touch. They’re still new, so please be kind — but the FOOD WAS GOOD.We also tried the mango mint non-alcoholic drink, which was refreshing and delicious. Definitely worth checking out!“

“Try the codfish cakes. Scrumptious! Curry is always good and oxtails are braised perfectly. The food is savory and seasoned well. Love the comfort on the restaurant, great place to try out some Antigua cuisine. The menu has American food also. I highly recommend Cafe Metro.“

“My opinion is 8.7/10. Is it the best Jamaican beef patty I've ever had? No but overall our place that makes handmade Jamaican beef patties with a good overall flavor I recommend it. Best thing definitely has to be the crust I just wish for $3 it was a little bit more meat / seasoning. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“I come to this restaurant at least three times a month, and I’ve been going here for 15 years. It’s truly great—the food is always fresh and delicious. They have the best tres leches, and everything they make tastes consistently good and fresh. Highly recommend!“

“This place was amazing. The jilof was my favorite. The service was perfect and the little kid named Eddy was really cute. The meat here couldn’t have been better. I’m really happy about this place and can’t wait to come back and get some more food.“

“We shared a GUACAMOLE with plantain chips. It was fresh and flavorful. I had the FAROE ISLAND SALMON. The salmon was flavorful and well done on the outside and moist on the inside. My husband enjoyed his medium CHURRASCO 14OZ. The drinks were strong 💪. I recommend this place. I enjoyed the old school salsa music.“

“Amazing food and super friendly service.“

“absolutely delicious 😋 food, anything they cook is amazing.“

“definitely the spot! I already know to call ahead for my jerk wings because I like them extra crispy, and they make them perfectly every single time. The wait is always worth it!

My go-to meal is the jerkD wings with collard greens and yams, plus extra jerk sauce on the side because the flavor is just THAT good. The wings are crispy, juicy, packed with flavor, and the jerk sauce takes everything to another level. The collard greens and yams taste homemade and perfectly seasoned.

And don’t skip dessert! The banana pudding is unbelievably creamy and the flavor is honestly 10/10. Every bite is perfection. jerkD never disappoints!“

“1st time here 2.28.26 definitely will be back when we come back to nyc wow food was delicious not salty just tasty had the rasta pasta cabbage jerk chicken curry goat curry chicken 😋 both workers were very nice and also big portions worth the money 💰 🇯🇲“

“I was there for takeout for the first time last week ~ All I can say is Yum and will order from them again Even spoke with the man who makes the food himself! Thank you!“

“Saw it on social media and had to go. House fried rice, oxtail empanadas, pepper shrimp YOWZERZ! DELICIOUS! All the rice dishes are something special. That freaking chicken is the best roasted chicken I've tasted! Needs to be in a Michelin star restaurant..go try this place..you won't be disappointed..“

“Entered, menu was very visible, the guy in the front was extremely respectful and straight forward, the place was room temp and pretty comfy, the rice was rlly good, the mac & cheese was incredible. The only thing was the oxtail lacked some flavor but still tender and enjoyable.“

“I came here twice and I must say that the curry goat and fried chicken is the best. I order a medium curry goat with white rice and a side of fried chicken. 10/10. But for $26?! The issue is that you can’t really get what you want. Hear me out for example… you can’t get a small order of oxtail….like?! You can only get a medium size with a side. It’s overpriced. Just by looking at it I can tell it’s not even worth the price. Also if you get like a medium size meal with any meat and rice you can’t get it with plantain. It’s extra charge. BUT I WILL SAY THAT THE PORTION IS WORTH IT. THEY GIVE MORE. I’ve tried the Mac and cheese and it was baaaadd. Just cheese and unseasoned roux. That’s if they use roux. It’s oily and you can’t even see or smell a spec of seasoning. Taste like a sweet treat no shade. The fried chicken though I give that 15/10. Tastes better than Kennedys. The goat meat falls off the bonnnneeee. The rice is perfect; not too mushy and not too rough. I’m on my way there right now😂😂. Is it worth trying? Hell yeah. The Mac and cheese though.. that’s to your advantage.“

“Went here because a restaurant we usually visit was closed 40 minutes before it’s closing time. Never been here and didn’t hear from anyone, just saw the reviews, I was close by and so what the hec, I decided to give it a try. Wow! Did not disappoint!! Ordered a large oxtails with rice & peas, unfortunately they were out of sweet plantains but the food was Deeeelicious! Yum, The rest of the food on dispuslso looked good. Yum! Great spot and service was superb. If you’re in the area or just want some slamming Jamaican food, stop at Flamez and enjoy! You’re welcome lol
I was so hungry forgot to snap a pic“

“Fresh food, great prices, big portions.Empanadas anywhere in the BX are $2-$2.50. here they are $1. Everything here was priced more affordably compared to any of the other Dominican spots on 138th street and in the neighborhood. Big plates. Also, they cater to the blue collar crowd. Lunch food is ready by 9:30AM. Perfect lunch spot if you're a city worker, construction, etc.“

“Another little gem in NYC, the service and staff is very warm and friendly. It's like they're inviting you into their home. There was a dj that played music to get you dancing, it was a little loud but we didn't mind it being that we don't go out often. The food is pricey but very good quality and the presentation is amazing from the drinks down to the food. Make sure to show this place some love.“

“I honestly have no idea what I’m eating but it is amazing! So many good flavors!! It’s really so delicious! The staff is all smiles. They were very welcoming and seemed to have a lot of pride in their food. The place is also very very clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this place!“

“**Review for Les Q**

I have been a loyal customer of Les Q for the past 4.5 years, and my experience has been consistently outstanding. The owner, Howie, truly sets this place apart with his warm hospitality and dedication to excellence. The staff at Les Q is equally amazing, always attentive and friendly, making every visit a pleasure.

The food at Les Q is consistently good, which is a rarity in many places. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you can always expect delicious, well-prepared dishes. The menu offers a great variety, and everything I've tried has been top-notch.

Overall, Les Q is a gem of a restaurant, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking good food. Kudos to Howie and his fantastic team for their exceptional service and culinary consistency!“

“Wanted to take some time to show my appreciation. My family and I were very pleased with our selection of this establishment for our repast service for my mother. The owner was very accommodating in short notice. The buffet that was laid out was just what we ordered. Place was very clean and the service from the staff was amazing. Really can’t say enough about that part. From the picking up of finished plates, them coming around with multiple fruit options, opening up for us 20 mins early so we weren’t in the blazing sun, and the show of support in our time of grieving. Tonia thank you for going above and beyond. 5 stars for sure. Once again my family and I humbly thank you.“

“The food was seasoned well and finger licking good👍🏾“

“I stopped by Tasty Caribbean Plus Buffet back in April last year, so I don’t remember every detail, but I do remember the plate being very filling. I loaded up on a mix of mac and cheese, fried chicken, stewed meat, shrimp, and vegetables. The mac and cheese was creamy, the chicken had a nice crispy bite, and the stewed meat was tender with good flavor.

Overall it was a solid, hearty meal, but it didn’t quite hit my soul the way some Caribbean spots do. One thing to keep in mind is that you pay by weight, so your plate can add up quickly if you’re not careful. Still a decent spot if you’re looking for a filling plate with a lot of options. 🍽️“

“The food is good. I must say the fried chicken on the day I went was way to salty. The Mac and cheese is very good . I also had their pasta is excellent when they make itThe last time I went the music was way to loud, difficult to give your order.“

“Our go to restaurant for special occasions and just because! We always have fantastic service, amazing hurricanes (deluxe, of course) delicious food and the perfect ambiance for a fun night out. We have loved Big Daddy's for years. It NEVER disappoints.“
