“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.

“Ariel the manager is amazing Excellent food and great atmosphere nest of bergen county!“

“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.“

“An amazing place yo share with your loves one and have a good talk and share a delicious bottle of wine, food it’s amaze ! Really tasty and flavorful l, 10/10“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We came to Patrick’s on the Hill for an early dinner, and WOW — everything was soooo good! We started with the jerk wings and Jamaican beef patties, and both were absolutely delicious and packed with flavor.

But the Rasta Pasta with oxtails was the star of the meal! We learned that it’s made from the owner’s mom’s recipe, which made it even more special. The oxtails were tender and flavorful, and the pasta was incredible. You can tell this is food made with love and family tradition.

Our server Tatiana was so kind, helpful, and welcoming and really made us feel at home. Between the amazing Jamaican food and the wonderful hospitality, this place is definitely worth a visit.

We will absolutely be back — and I’m already thinking about that Rasta Pasta with oxtails! 🇯🇲❤ ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is such an amazing hole in the wall - we stopped in because I was craving some West Indian food and Robert was so kind and helpful and funny! We loved our food, I recommend the curry goat or curry shrimp roti, the shark, the fritters, pholourie… it was all so good!“

“Amazing food and super friendly service.“

“If you’re in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, and craving a culinary adventure that blends the bold flavors of the Caribbean with the savory delights of the Mediterranean, look no further than Lyndhurst Jerk & Gyro Spot. This vibrant eatery offers an unforgettable eating experience, marked by mouthwatering dishes, warm hospitality, amazing music, and a welcoming atmosphere. The flavors are explosive.“

“This is the kind of Restaurant you just wanna go, eat a meal, drink one of their cocktails. And just enjoy the vibe! This is a unique restaurant when vibing is mandatory, you will not regret it. Mojitos are one of my favorites from here. Also Joshua who people call El Rubio is one of the best bartenders here.

Also Thursday’s game night is one of their signatures to play dominoes and spend some time with their people.“

“The best Dominican food in the area“

“The hot patties are very good! The Farmer, 👏“

“Greek restaurant. Been there a bunch. Always a great experience. Food is awesome as usual. Service is excellent as usual. Highly recommend. Pasta jambalaya, Billy Carter's crawfish. And don't leave without trying the peanut butter jelly pie for dessert. And this is coming from someone who never orders dessert. Lol.“

“Roti in HARLEM! 🇹🇹 Tasty! 😋“

“Food is absolutely delicious!!! Need catering? Inquire about special entrees. Food never disappoints. The best Guyanese restaurant food I've had. They also have fresh tennis rolls, pine tarts, solara & cheese rolls. Jerk chicken empanadas are amazing!!! Order ahead cuz they do get busy! Take out only. They do have a sitting area if you want to sit and eat, but not an early in restaurant.“

“Great service, price and food. And the music is awesome too.“

“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 💰 🇯🇲“

“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.“

“Truly an excellent experience if you want authentic Jamaican patties. Flaky, flavorful, savory, and delicious. Great price, amazing customer service. As far as beef patties, for myself I believe it’s on par with Kingston Tropical Bakery in the Bronx, just my personal opinion. Definitely worth it“

“First of all I would like to say please people check out this cousin and make your order your missing out on the best jamaican/caribbean cousins....her cooking is second to none...please check it out“

“Food was very well presented. portions are enough for two. it was clean and I really appreciate that they don't tag you with an extra charge for using your debit or credit card. I will be going back for sure.“

“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.“

“Clean, quiet. Good Caribbean food. No pepper, friendly if you know how to engage in conversation. Affordable, large portions. You have to try the corn bread with an oxtail dinner! Lunch specials are only $6. Been in Harlem for 12 years! Definitely deserves more recognition.“

“Today I got food like I always Amani was a great help today and went above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. Very friendly, attentive, and professional. I really appreciated the effort and would definitely recommend Amani for the outstanding service!“

“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!“

“We went to Tropical Sensation to celebrate the grand opening of Athena's World Travel. We had a group of 6 people and all 6 of us agree that everything about our experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was great. Our server, Sharmaine, was amazing. The food was delicious. That was our first time at the restaurant and we plan to go back again and again. There were so many great items on the menu at affordable prices. The portions were very generous.“

“Wow! The presentation and flavor of this dish were absolutely incredible! It's Mofongo de pollo with cheese con salada, and I wish I had taken a picture before I started eating. The aroma and taste were so captivating that picture-taking was the last thing on my mind.

I just dove right in. I 100% can't wait to eat this again!

My child also enjoyed it so much that she ate more than I expected.“

“I love this place I took the plane all the way from Florida to come and get my meals at this golden krust. The customer service is top tier the food is great. I give the them 20/10. I couldn't wait to get off the plane. I was on the plane dreaming about the oxtails the sweet potato pudding not to mention the curry goat“

“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“

“Despite its compact size, the establishment exudes a sense of cleanliness and coziness. The service was impeccable, with the server demonstrating exceptional attentiveness. The culinary offerings were exceptional, characterized by their exceptional taste and quality. The flavors were reminiscent of homemade cuisine, which left a lasting impression. I highly recommend this establishment and intend to return for future visits.“

“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.“

“Pass the place all the time on my way to the Post Office and finally stopped in. Met Ray who took over in May and he was the nicest guy. Seems to have done a great job turning the place around compared to previous reviews. Food/service was great and very friendly. Give this place a shout if you’re in the area!“

“Great authentic colombian food with good portions aswell. I just wish they would adjust their hours to 8am - 10pm instead of 6am to 8pm, because quite frankly don't think anyone is buying lunch at 6am. Other then that the food is great here“

“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. 🍽️“
