“best Caribbean food in New Jersey!!! tasty and delicious food 😋“

“Nestled in a small neighborhood, the location is unassuming but is a neighborhood gem. They have all of the traditional Caribbean eats plus a few items that I've never seen before. The ox tails were spectacular (will go back for those) and the mac n cheese was snap! The rice and peas were a little al dente and unfortunately the greens were gritty (not in any way saying that they are all the time, just happened to be this time) but had super great flavor and perfect texture. I will need going back to try more of their selection next time I'm in Bayonne,NJ“

“Delicious! I tried this place for the first time through the Too good to go app and it was very tasty and the portions were huge. Well seasoned and tender chicken. Friendly staff. I'll certainly be back soon to try the rest of their food.“

“This is my second time coming to this restaurant for their delicious patties and they do not disappoint. From the minute you walk in you are greeted by an inviting staff that is eager to help assist customers with their order to make sure their orders are fulfilled“

“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 stop by to get 2 patties an end up get 6 thank to you miss Latoya 🙏“

“food is bussing!!!. love the customer service 👌“

“Today 9/9 I went into Juici Pattie on Church Avenue and the cashier Shad is the only one since I have been buying patties asked me for my phone number and I received a discount what a blessing that was make you want to recommend others for the discount. Last week I brought 1 doz to take to my son in Maryland and I did not get any credit and the guy did not take my number. I asked him why he did not take my number he was not a very pleasant guy but today’s service is excellent. Even Kymani was very helpful in helping me bring up the app. I received excellent customer service today. There have been other time that I come and the service was not that good but I like the patties“

“The chef deserves a medal for grinding and cooking in this heat wave in such small quarters. The heat didn't affect his attitude at all though! He was so pleasant. I ordered the small ox tail plate that came with rice and beans and 2 big pieces of sweet plantain. I requested the Jamaican slaw which was a mixture of macaroni and cabbage and seasoning that I loved. The mac n cheese was exactly what a mac n cheese should be. Dense and delicious! The neighborhood really benefits from people like this sharing their culture and flavor so thank you!“

“YUM! Great service, from the minute we walked in! The friendly hostess recognized us from a previous visit, the wait staff were on point, the chef came over to our table with complimentary soup, the music was upbeat and our food was delicious! Great vibes, highly recommend!“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Juci Patties on Nostrand Avenue! The food was delicious, but the customer service really made my visit stand out.

My cashier, Eli, was absolutely wonderful—friendly, accommodating, professional, and genuinely warm. He made me feel welcomed from the moment I walked in and provided the kind of customer service that makes you want to come back.

Great food and even better hospitality. Thank you, Eli, for making my experience such a positive one! I’ll definitely be back.“

“Stopped in for a takeout order. We had the jerk chicken combo and jerk shrimp combo with rice & peas, plantains and cabbage and collards. We also added a side of Mac & Cheese Au Gratin (so good!), plus a buch of different sauces. Food was excellent and servings are very generous.“

“food is bussing!!!. love the customer service 👌“

“Authentic Jamaican eats! Plus super friendly service. You have to try the Sea Moss. It is phenomenal out of this world🤯😯“

“I noticed the truck in front of Trader Joe’s last sat and saw many people lined up. i saw they were there again i def lined up myself today and let me tell you for $10 the portion you get! You get that fall off the bone jerk chicken and the friendly cashier asked if i want sweet or spicy sauce i asked if i could get both. Everything is great price, quality and service. Theyre really nice, 10/10 customer service! One love needs alot of love bc these people know what theyre doing when it comes to a food truck business!“

“Came to Continent Brooklyn for a late dinner and cocktails with some girlfriends and we had such a good time! The atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights — sexy, grown, and sophisticated without feeling stuffy. There were lots of couples enjoying date night along with a few other groups of girlfriends, and the DJ was great and kept the vibes going all night.

The food was absolutely the star. We shared several dishes, including the oxtail lo mein, salmon, mac & cheese and wings, and everything was flavorful and delicious. We finished with dessert, which was just as good. Definitely come hungry!

The cocktails were probably the one area that didn’t quite live up to the rest of the experience. They weren’t bad, but considering how good the food and overall atmosphere were, I expected the drinks to be a little stronger/better.

That said, we had a great night. Between the food, music, beautiful interior and lively atmosphere, Continent is a great choice for a late dinner, date night or girls’ night out. I would absolutely come back“

“This food is definitely worth the money and you get what you pay for....5 STARS“

“A Chelsea market classic 👌🏾 some of the best oxtail and jerk in NYC 😋 Staff is super kind and service is quick, you can sit down to have a red stripe or sorrel with your meal and they treat you like family ✊🏾“

“I'm not a lawyer, but if I was, I'd consider a lawsuit for SpeedX.

This is NOT the future of ecommerce. This company does not CARE and will NOT deliver. Their AI customer service falsifies claims for delivery estimates to give you hope, when in reality, no progress is being made. And it will NOT use technology. It doesn't own a single sorting machine. It's all manual! That's why your package is stuck with thousands of others. They close the door on you because its a mess, its such a mess. Read their reviews on TrustPilot, BBB (they are not accreditted), here.“

“I grew up eating Jamaican food and this is hands down the best Jamaican restaurant that I’ve been to in Brooklyn! The food is consistently delicious and made to order — no food sitting out on a heater waiting for someone to order. I’ve had the jerk shrimp, curry shrimp roti, jerk salmon, and other items and the food is always fresh, tasty, and plentiful. They sell juices and cake which are also amazing. I’ve been going here once a week since the pandemic started and I’m always so excited to get my food. The owner is amazing and is dedicated to always providing five star service and food.“

“When I go to Jamaican spots, I typically get goat or chicken. However, that day I wanted to try something new. I was recommended by Kathy to try the stewed steamed fish! 10/10 meal. I was so satisfied by the food and service.
Thank you Sandy and Kathy for the great customer service, recommendations, and dinner. I left satisfied and will definitely come again to try more!“

“I wish I got pictures of the food but it was devoured too quickly! I had the pleasure of working with Chef Nicola on a recent catering order for a community event. The food was delicious and it was clear that a lot of care was put into the food and presentation. It was also great to support a local woman-owned small business instead of the many generic chains in the area. I highly recommend their services!“

“It's a small location on Oak Street and the food can be smelled from miles away. Once you enter, you'll see why there's a line and once you taste the food, you'll want to go back. The oxtail, the curried goat, the jerk chicken and the fried chicken are simply done right. They're delectable and flavorful. One of the main things I appreciate is, they're warm and inviting. You don't get a bad attitude from them. One last thing, I've never in my life heard of oxtail soup and it was phenomenal 😋“

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

“Today I walked into Lucky’s and ordered the stewed chicken and curry chicken. I have no hesitation when saying this might be the best student curry chicken I’ve ever tasted in my life. And believe me this is not my first curry, chicken or stewed chicken. The flavor on both the chickens were impeccable. The chicken was so tender, and could easily be picked off the bone. And the stew and curry complemented the soft rice beautifully. I will definitely be coming to Luckys again. This is my new favorite Jamaican food spot in New York City.“

“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“

“THIS PLACE IS SO CLEAN NOCE FOOD MUSIC THE OWNERS ARE VER NICE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE“

“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!“

“We live in Pa but my husband works in Ny! So I call n place the order for him to bring the food home n I must say this is the best Jamaican food ever! They give you large portions, cabbage n rice always fresh, jerk chicken n oxtails is 💯 I will continue to buy from here & they are very friendly when you call to place order over phone!!“

“Tasty Food very good Variety and quality,Service is great and friendly Staff.I have been a Customer for 15 years by far the best Jamaican Restaurant in Essex County.I recommend very highly.“

“Baby when i tell you this place has the best food in Brooklyn best believe it .
You got a great portion for ya money and it taste amazing.
I always get the jerk chicken and its always bussing . 🥰 the chefs there top tier they can cook .“

“The food was fresh and so delixious. The chicken was falling off the bone. The festival was so unbelievable good as well. The chef goes out and beyond when he makes his food starting with prep & preparing his sauces and breakfast dishes at 5am. This place is a MUST STOP & EAT. YA WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. MY SISTA & I WILL BE BACK AGAIN.“

“The Food Is Great And The Workers Are Polite“

“We went here for my birthday February 2020!!! The food, drinks and staff were AMAZING!!! I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to go back! The oxtail, rice and peas, Mac and cheese...even the side salad and plaintains were PERFECTION. The customer service made us feel like we were at a resort restaurant in Jamaica, they made us feel like royalty.“

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

“$ Classic Jamaican food, loved the fried dumplings and salt fish in the morning, had a great conversation with the cashier, excellent local spot, great customer service. I’m from Brooklyn so I take pride in the places uptown that can deliver a more authentic Caribbean cuisine experience without breaking the bank on pricing.“

“Tried this restaurant for the first time yesterday, let me tell you , if I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would.
The escovitch snapper meal with rice and peas, steam veggies and Macaroni salad was simply amazing.
What was even more impressive was the level customer service.
I will certainly be back!!!!“

“Absolutely delicious. Had the oxtail plate and added Mac n cheese. Will definitely be back. Great seasoning I forgot to add the jerk sauce.“

“Soldiers is getting bad, I'm not sure if they changed the chef but I waited all week to get the stew peas and rice which had no seasoning, none, not even salt and pepper in when I call to inform the Of this error they had attitude think I was going to move my car and come back for a refund (which is what they hope for) 2nd Saturday morning 9am I buy food because I don't want stale food 2nd time the fried dumpling are drenched in cold oil and and then breakfast cold Not sure what you want to do but but uncooked hard meat is killing black folks and not listening isnt working neither.“

“Stumbled upon Peppa's walking from Burke passed Gun Hill on Whiteplains road. Love the unique Jamaica live feed! The large Oxtail Rasta Pasta portion was excellent, even my spice-shy mom tore it up because the Oxtail meat was so tender and authentically flavorful. Great, attentive service despite being busy. Will absolutely visit again.🖤💚💛 🇯🇲 💛💚🖤“

“Well done fresh food. The owner/chef is above average. I’ve been going there for several years, and I’ve always walked away, satisfied and pleased with that choice.“

“I stumbled upon this place by chance while walking down Fulton St. Had a very nice salmon and rasta pasta plate for $22. Only 2 seats in the place but I was alone so no problem. Good food ! Not many choices but my plate was VERY good. Thanks...get some coco bread please. :)“

“Jumeieka NYC delivers an authentic taste of Jamaica with every bite. Highly recommended! The roasted coconut corn is a favorite of mine!“

“I was confused how to order but the guy working the till was super nice. You can smell it hella far down the block. Heavenly. Chicken was insane. Really deep smokey char and super juicy and fall off the bone meat. The spicy jerk sauce they put on it was BANGIN. 11/10. For $15 for chicken and rice and peas its a lot of food. Other reviews said u gotta wait, i think they had the food out to me in like ten mins, and the young man even apologized about the wait time! No need! Dont rush perfection. Will def be back.“
