Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“The food was delicious. SMACKING. It was hot, fresh, and perfect and they also give you suggestions based on your ability to tolerate spiciness. Hubby and I got the jerk chicken with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantain. They were so sweet and the place is immaculately clean. Will definitely be back.“

“fine dining at its best 👌“

“Checked out Drips on a Wednesday evening for happy hour which lasts all day. I loved the space. It’s small inside, but gives upscale vibes. They have a mix of high chair and regular seating. They were playing RnB hits all night which was great when the drinks kicked in. Everything for happy hour is approximately $6-$8 so I tried the Sweet Chili wings and passionfruit lemon drop. The wings were crispy and fresh! This was my first time having a lemon drop and the flavor was delicious. I also tried the Mango Lemon drop too. I would recommend either! Service isn’t speedy, but it is not terrible. You have good music, great ambiance and drinks.“

“Ripe Restaurant in the Bronx is a delightful culinary gem that impresses with its variety of dishes, especially the standout Rasta Pasta. This vibrant dish combines creamy sauce with a perfect blend of spices, creating a unique flavor that’s both comforting and exciting.

“Stopped by randomly, around 9pm. Nuff a the food were finished(sold out) but we got the pepper steak w/rice&peas and raw vegetables (shredded carrots and cabbage,love it!) and sweet chilie wings w/rice and peas. Firstly, rice and peas can eat by itself! Well nice!! She wanted oxtail but it was basically done but server(wish i got her name) gave us the few small pieces with the gravy to her rice. Looking forward to trying their curry goat. Represent Jamaican food lovely, support!!“

“My husband loves getting breakfast here when he is going to work. The food taste delicious and the staff is very polite. They offer jamaican cuisine. You can get curry chicken back, jerk chicken, fish, goat, oxtail, rice and peas, white rice, boiled food/ ground provision, steamed and fresh veggies, baked goods, festival, fritters, soup and porridge. This morning I got steamed calaloo & saltfish with fried dumplings and plantains. Hubby got white rice and curry chicken back. The restaurant can get a little crowdy and you may have to wait a few minutes to be served, but it's worth the wait. Also there is no parking lot available but you can find parking on the street easily. They also sell freshly squeeze juice. Overall I highly recommend them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.“

“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.

Cary was so amazing!
He made me feel like I was home.
I had the hungry artist (not on the printed menu), ox tail Philly cheese.
The food needs no explanation. Come hit up the local spot.
If you don't know

“Amazing food and super friendly service.“

“Popped in for some food after hitting the pool - everything was so fresh. I got the fritura and was blessed with a massive portion of fried, fresh, incredible meats, cheese, and plantains. The chicken was so moist and juicy, the chicharron was deeply flavorful and had me floored; truly so fresh, tasted like a mama made it for me. My partner got the pernil and it was also incredible. 10/10!!!“

“We truly enjoyed every drop. Gone in 60 seconds!! 😋“

“We absolutely love this place! We’d been wanting to visit for a while, but since most of my hospital appointments were in the mornings, we hadn’t had the chance until now. It was well worth the wait—the jerk chicken and sides were incredible, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was warm and lively, with great music and an inviting ambience. On top of that, the lady who helped us was wonderfully pleasant and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!“

“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.“

“CBS News Tv Host Kevin Frazier and I was craving some serious Jerk Chicken. This spot was BOMB

Jerk House is a hidden gem! The fried chicken could use a little more seasoning, but once I tried the jerk chicken and oxtail, it was game over. Both were cooked perfectly juicy, flavorful, and packed with that authentic island taste. The jerk had that smoky heat you can’t fake, and the oxtail was fall-off-the-bone tender. If you’re looking for real Caribbean flavor, this is the spot. OH LAWDDD“

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

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

“Very nice experience with 6 of us at Big Daddy's. The Caesar salad and dressing were delicious. We all had different mains, and everyone enjoyed their food. They included catfish, burger, ribs, and tacos, and French fries were really good. Desserts were also yummy. The service was friendly and attentive.“

“Great music !! Good drinks and great vibes“

“I have recently participated in an event catered by La Flor and oh my god, their food was delicious! I must admit that when the trays were opened, I thought to myself 'hmmm, whatever - these are some basics (pastas, eggplant, meatballs, beans)' but then I tried some and came back for seconds... and then thirds! Everything was amazing, properly seasoned and oh so tasteful. I have not been to the restaurant itself but it is now on my 'target' list for homey, comfort foods. Highly recommend their catering!“

“My sister, aunt and I visited this restaurant on a visit to the nearby hospital. Every dish we selected was incredibly delicious. Nothing was over or under seasoned—just perfect. The restaurant was extremely clean and the employees were pleasant.“

“- Loved the food, specially the Ox-tail empanada and Salmon tacos. Mash potatoes was good as well. I went by myself looking for comfort and peace, got some work done. Good lighting, the service was quick and polite. Not sure if it was an off night but not a lot of people which is fine by me. Definitely going for the food again, definitely a place that people should consider going. The drinks are cool, nothing too crazy tho“
