“So I got the Grilled Steak and rice and beans with salad and guacamole the steak was so juicy tender and the flavor was amazing this is a amazing restaurant and I will be back the staff is respectful and the restaurant is clean the food is cooked fresh right in front of you no complaints“

“I absolutely love this place. The food is good, once you figure out what you want from so so many choices. And the desserts, wow, hopefully it's your cheat day, between the toppings for the waffles or funnel cakes, ice cream, water ice. And the best part is it's very affordable. Eat inside or outside. Plus there is an electronic store when you walk in. Definitely not a bad place, especially being in Camden. Go check it out for yourself and see.“

“The service was a bit slow at times, but generally fine! And when we asked to close the door because it was cold, they were quite accommodating. The food is always good and we always have leftovers. It may be a bit pricy, but not too bad when you consider you get dinner AND lunch!“

“The food was delicious. The plate that I ordered was neatly packed! I ordered oxtails, cabbage and plantains. I came around 9 p.m. and the fact that the food was still hot and fresh says a lot about their thoughts and care about their customer. The plantains were made to order the Cabbage was fresh and the oxtails were hot and tender! That says a lot for it being that late in the evening, so close to closing. I appreciate the professionalism and the attention to detail that this establishment has taken into consideration to implement.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed the food. You must try the Happy Happy Drunk.“

“Great music, food and atmosphere! Tvs are set in place so you can watch your favorite sport that's playing live!“

“Very nice Jamaican spot! It’s a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but in the best way — cozy and authentic. If you’re into Jamaican food, you’ll definitely love it here. I got the oxtail with rice and beans — super hearty and flavorful, at $24. Just note there’s a $10 minimum or a $1.50 fee for credit card payments.“

“We will very much miss this restaurant when the entire chain closes at the beginning of April. My wife and I, as well as our friends, have enjoyed the food since the Cherry Hill restaurant first opened so many years ago. Closing the chain doesn't make sense. This place is always popular, especially at dinner time and new menu items are introduced each season. Caribbean themed restaurants are not plentiful, unlike the dozens of steak house and sports bar restaurants in the Darden's (the parent company) restaurant portfolio. I would love to reach out and shake some sense into the idiot that made the decision to close the chain, because clearly this person has no sense and or even cares. Our condolences to all the serving, cooking, and back of house staff. Good luck in your future endeavors and thanks for your years of service and great food.“

“Great Food and Great Vibes🎵🎵“

“Yum yum good. They pile it high with flavorful food. Pays to buy it vs trying to make it yourself. Would give 5 stars only negative is little salty but that's because I need low salt diet“

“City Wide responded promptly to my repair request. Honest reasonable work. Very knowledgeable about gates and gate repair.“

“This place is a hidden gem! The jerk chicken pattie was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice, and the smoky flavor was spot on. The chicken and beef patties were fresh, flaky, and full of flavor — easily some of the best I’ve had. The peas and rice were cooked perfectly, and the collard greens were a nice touch — tender and well-seasoned. You can really tell the food is made with care. Ms. Georgiana took care of myself and two friends very well as if we were family.“

“Great family setting. Nice atmosphere“

“Today’s my 2nd time eating there. There’s a young lady who get the orders while the other does the cashier thingy. I appreciate the young lady who serves, she’s very pleasant both times I was there. She deserves a tip. I didn’t care for potato salad and cabbage with the added frozen vegetables, I’m so happy not to have that the first time, and I’ll order again if they don’t add that. Those items are great by themselves. Thank you!“

“Yesterday I got the Oxtails, rice & peas, mac & cheese and steamed cabbage. Every bit of it was delicious!!! the good there never disappoints! Kudos to the chef!!! Irie!!!!“

“First time ordering here I ordered the large curry chicken with white rice cabbage and two jerk rolls...Portion nice amount of meat no complaints about the platter. Nowwww the jerk rolls my fiancee swallowed his he said it's spicy I was into the second bite I said ohh no I can't do it lol leave that to the spicy eaters lol“

“I pre-ordered two coconut bakes and salt fish from Brown Sugar restaurant in West Philly and was thoroughly impressed. The bakes were delightfully soft and flavorful, while the fish boasted perfect seasoning. The service was exemplary, from the phone response to the order pickup. Furthermore, Reuben , one of the staff, with his genuine smiles, along with the restaurant's cleanliness contributed to a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Thank you,
Lydz“

“Just ate there food was amazing ! Lalo first time I had it fantastically made. Rice was on point. 5 star“

“This place is catering my wedding. No, I don’t have a fiancé. I’m single, but who needs a man when you have mac & cheese like this? I’m marrying the jerk tofu, and the collard greens are my maid of honor.“

“I love this place. If you are ever in philly you must try this Ghanian spot! If you like spicy this is the place. If you like rice get the jollof! My favorite is light soup with fufu. The peanut litter soup is bomb! Matter fact just eat everything. Only come if you have time to enjoy. Service is not typical of most American dinner time standards. Call ahead to ensure they are open that weekend! I wish they delivered via an app. But still worth going for the experience.“

“I mean the spot of down the way, it's a carry out only spot. But the food is A1!!! Fish is made to order so be ready to spend 20 min but everything else is pick up. 12$ platters are top notch. Recommend the jerk chicken n Mac. Platter big enough to feed two!!!“

“Found this treasure place when I was looking for Dominican/ Mexican food for lunch at work. Really really good slow cook ribs. I really want to know how they seasoned it even there might be some recipes online. When you chewing the chicharrones the juice/fat just come out and it taste really really good.Ribs/ chicharrones(crispy slow cook pork belly), rice and beans, salad, and maduros(sweet fried plantains) for $13.Do not go to Applebees, TGI Fridays, McDonald’s, meals from local tea like this gives you better and healthier choices, and they deserved more customers.Part of ribs and chicharrones(the part doesn’t include much fat) became too hard/too dry to eat after long time cook, some of them are not eatable anymore since it’s too hard. There should be a way to avoid this problem. As I know the Cantonese type Chinese BBQ restaurant has slow cook ribs and crispy pork belly too (with different seasoning of course) , but theirs doesn’t have this problem, and pork belly are perfectly brown. I don’t know how they do it. Maybe cover meat with aluminum paper and be more accurate at the timing and temperature by cooking them not as long as Latin chicharrones(chicharrones taste harder/crispier). If you try pork belly from both restaurants you will know what I meant“

“I enjoyed the food. The presentation was it for me . The place was very clean and customer service was on point , will definitely return. Good food good vibes yeah Man“

“I ordered soup and brown stewed chicken, and the soup is good. It always is great but today I ordered more food and the brown stewed chicken was absolutely outstanding.. I can honestly say it’s the best brown stew chicken I’ve ever tasted from a Jamaican restaurant! Good Job 🌹🌹“

“First time at this restaurant...Food was on point definitely be back soon..“

“the ox tails with the beans and rice. yes sir“

“Came here on a Friday afternoon. It wasn’t crowded at all. The cashier was very nice. I got a large curry chicken with Mac & cheese & cabbage. It was soooo much food. 3 adults & a child ate from it & we were all satisfied. The food was super super good! I will definitely be back! Lowkey my new favorite spot! I’ll take this over McDonald’s any day!“

“7/11 It’s Going Down “Philadelphia Freeway” Will Be In The Building Along With The Rest Of The City 🏙“

“They have the best Dominican food other than my mother in law. Nice portions and reasonable prices. Great to stop even just for snack like pastelillos, aka empandas, the potato balls, or fried plantains. They have platters with rice beans meat and salad, just choose what u want everything is delicious ive been eating there since they opened. Friendly staff, inside is small but its so delicious 😋“

“I have been going the this Restaurant for years now and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. This is a great chill spot on the weekends and week days for lunch and dinner .However after dinner the dancing starts and it is everything safe and fun for a party with great drinks and great food and chill people. 😊“

“If you are looking for a good Island Vibe this is the place to go to . Wide selection of Inland beers and food . No need to go to NYC“

“Easily the best oxtails I’ve had & you can’t beat the price point. The food is so delicious time and time again. I consistently order on DoorDash and delivery is always fast. The food is fresh and they’ve never let me down. I want to try other options one day, but the oxtails got me hooked.“

“The food is great and worth the price.“

“Excelente...“

“I ordered a large oxtail platter with cabbage, yams rice & beans. My yams were very hairy like they were canned yams. I usually order mac & cheese instead. The rest was pretty good it just seems like every visit the oxtail become less & less (stingy).“

“I dined in for an early dinner and ordered the Brown Stew Chicken w Yams & Collard Greens, Fish Soup, and Watermelon Juice. Everything was very tasty! The yams didn’t have much additional flavor though but I didn’t mind because as a side they just absorbed the sauce from the Brown Stew Chicken and got flavored that way. Also they seem to use pretty fresh produce so all the produce had more of its own natural flavor - yams, collard greens, as well as the cabbage and carrots in the Stew, and the okra in the Fish Soup. The flavors in the Fish Soup seemed unique to me and I really enjoyed it. The soup came with a tasty dumpling in it as well (not sure if there is a different name for this dumpling but I will be doing more research on Caribbean cuisines). I also liked that there were not bones in the soup as I often expect bones when ordering most meats from Caribbean restaurants but I’m not a fan of dealing with them. The Brown Stew Chicken while very tasty and flavorful, does have bones in it. Everything was well seasoned and salty, but not to an offensive extent at all - just perfect and as expected. Last but not least, the Watermelon Juice was a very refreshing addition to the meal that was much appreciated after walking in hot weather. It tasted like fresh fruit and was sweet but not too sweet! It was honestly a real necessity at the time, so I’m glad I found this place. I definitely want to come back and try more of their food.

The service was also great! Everyone working there seemed friendly, which is definitely not always the case, and I felt welcome. Someone (the chef?) came out to personally take orders to speed up the line which wasn’t even long, so they seem committed to getting people their food fast (despite “island time” existing in Caribbean cultures). The menu is simple which allows them to have everything ready quickly & at a high quality. The quality of the food is what matters above all, and it seems they understand that. Also be ready with cash as it is Cash Only.

I love the cozy vibe and the old school diner/lunch counter aesthetics, but I felt like the dining room/bar space should be better utilized. I understand this situation isn’t even necessarily their fault as we are in the era of takeout, and they clearly put their money towards making sure the food is good, which is obviously most important. I also understand they are dealing with the fact that their menu isn’t super conducive for the bar/lunch counter setting, and it’s detached from the kitchen, but it has a purpose - it’s where they make and serve the homemade juices. Something as simple as pictures of the main ingredients in the juices could be a low cost way to liven up this area and serve a practical purpose as well. They have big, comfortable tables which some restaurants in the area don’t even offer anymore, so I appreciated that.“

“Been coming here since 2010 and to this day I still get great service. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating. The food is delicious and they give you a good portion for the price. I will continue to come to the spot as long as they are open for business!“

“I came here a few days ago after not visiting for a while, you know how life gets lol. I had a taste for some Jamaican food and my daughter had a platter she said she got from Top Taste. Whole time the platter was from a place I frequent. Anyway, the young lady who took my order was so pleasant and I’m very big on great customer service. Her pleasantries alone made me want to return. The food was delicious too:)“

“DIAMOND in the Ruff ! !

“The food was amazing. The after party was even better. Will definitely be back!!“

“I stopped in because I found the restaurant on Phillyblackowned.com, a map for black owned businesses in Philly. I'm so happy that I found this business. The owner is very friendly, made me feel welcomed, and the food is delicious. I ordered the lamb with rice, and it was so tasty, I had to share my experience. I'll definitely be back.“

“OMG They have AWESOME Oxtail. I went to this Jamaican restaurant for lunch and I ordered macaroni and cheese and corn bread and I noticed they had oxtail on their menu and I told they lady who worked there that I never had oxtail and I was told by my family and friends that oxtail is so good so the the lady asked if I wanted to order a platter I said no because I already brought fried chicken and I just want the Mac and cheese and corn bread to eat with my chicken so she was kind enough to ask me if I wanted to sample the oxtail and I said yes she then hand me a small cup with oxtail and gravy. OMG that oxtail was tender and falling off the bone. It tasted like beef stew and the gravy was AWESOME so awesome that I was licking the gravy off my fingers. I will definitely be ordering a oxtail platter from this restaurant in the near future. 😋“

“Food was amazing definitely the best Jamaican food spot in philly. Hat off to the chef….
family enjoy the food will be back for sure!!!
Customer service was amazing …
10/10 highly recommend!!!!
Macaroni cheese was the best I ever had from a Jamaican restaurant.“

“This place is deliiiicious. I’ve only done pick up. Not sure anyone ever actually eats there. It’s encased with plastic, kinda loud from some big fans, hard to hear. But absolutely none of that matters because they have the best jerk chicken you can get in Philly (in my experience so far). I lived in Florida for a while and ate a lot of jerk chicken. And this place does it right. Glad I came in and tried it! The people are nice. I’m a repeat customer. And I have no intention of stopping.“

“So yummy! Fast and delicious food with really nice staff! Would definitely buy again!“

“Yes I recommend everyone to Hotspot“
