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!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

Always so sweet and attentive and the food is sooo good. I’m from Brooklyn so finding a good oxtail in the city is a gem and very rare! Wishing sancia and the whole team all the best!!!!“

“Great healthy love-inspired food. You just earned thousands of new fans with the CBS story. ¡excelente! Will visit when I'm back in NYC“

“I came here for the first time for brunch with my fiance. We didn't make a reservation but we were seated instantly.. I would highly encourage making reservations as there were multiple events happening there and we were lucky to get in on a walk-in LOL. The wait staff was very friendly. We had nice conversations and She was attentive. My fiance ordered that oxtail Rasta pasta which was amazing. And I got the chicken and red velvet waffles which was also very good. I liked his dish more though LOL. We also ordered the ackee and saltfish patties. I love that concept. It was creative and very good. I ordered the rum punch( potent and delicious) while my fiance had the bottomless brunch drinks for 1 hour. It included either a screwdriver or a mimosa. The difference if you would like to know is one is vodka and orange juice. The other is champagne and orange juice. We preferred the vodka LOL. Really nice Restaurant. atmosphere was beautiful music on point we were jamming out. We had such a great time. Amazing vibes. Highly highly, highly recommend and will definitely be returning.“

“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.“

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

“the food is always great, never disappointed.“

“I recently visited Country Kitchen, and it was just okay. The food was decent, but nothing really stood out as amazing. The service was fine, but the overall experience didn’t leave a strong impression. It’s a solid choice if you’re looking for something casual, but I think there are other spots in the area that offer a bit more in terms of flavor and atmosphere.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“This is my go to place when I have a large group to entertain. Our server was great and very professional but very personable as well. I ordered a coconut mojito and it was literally a glass of ice with a drop of coconut and a sugar stick that had seen better days. I told our server it was terrible and I got another one it was still awful and I couldn't drink it. It was very disappointing since I've had them before and they were good. Our food was great and we celebrated my friend's birthday with a special dessert . They need a new bartender those drinks were terrible! I shouldn't had to pay for those drinks but I was charged anyway. I'll have to think twice about going back“

“Oh my, the quality and taste is top notch. The way they make the crust is really good! The best i’ve had + they have great choices to choose from. Definitely better than Golden Krust patties and Golden Krust is pretty good“

“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 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!“

“Absolutely one of the best jerk chicken lunch I’ve ever had in years. My mother ate their Oxtail stew dish and it was delicious too. Full flavoured food with excellent quality & portion. Friendly helpful staff are also welcoming. I bought the fried whiting fish fillets and some fried chicken wings to take home. Will definitely be back again to eat all the other dishes! Yummy ? proper jerk chicken with rice & beans that were moist not dry like other places we’ve tried in Manhattan.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to access street level entrance that will accommodate wheelchairs and rollators. No steps inside the restaurant.“

“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.

“Checked this spot out and wasn't disappointed. Just had the Chicken n Ruff w/fried rice and Sarala for dessert. Oh gosh!! Fire! Great flavor. Better than typical Chinese food.

I got to go back because they didnt have the oxtail empanadas ready and that's what I really wanted to taste. But worth going back.“

“I just would like to say I love this restaurant so much everything is always so flavorful and worth the money. To anyone who reads any negative reviews about the owner PLEASE do not listen to that. He is a kind man and I see a few reviews of people saying he’s rude and miserable and that is Not true at all. Wonderful food and service. I will be back with my food pics ?“

“good music 🎶 excellent crowd on point“

“Great music !! Good drinks and great vibes“

“I always buy at this restaurant, but today was special. The curry chicken back was finger licking good. The chicken soup was also good. I wish you guys were closer to me at 241st. I highly recommend you guys. Keep up the good work and blessings always.“

“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“

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

“I’ve purchased food from this restaurant a few times and I have no complaint about it. I ordered fried chicken with white rice and curry goat gravy with oxtail. The food was good. The chicken was a bit salty for my liking but the flavor was there and everything was cooked well. The price for that specific dish is also very reasonable. Would recommend.“

“Bought dinner for a large family with children and we all raved about the food. Flavour-bomb! Well seasoned, just enough spice for my taste and the portions are big! It’s already so difficult to get good- tasting Caribbean food in the Bronx, but now I’m super happy I tried here! My new go to “
