Jamaican Restaurants in Bronx, NY

“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!!“

“Love the patties. They are well done similar to how they are in Jamaica. I go there once a week to get my 6 pack for about $24*. Its my weekend treat for my siblings and I. I'm excited to have juici patties here in the states because they are my favorite.“

“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.“

“Our go to restaurant for special occasions and just because! We always have fantastic service, amazing hurricanes (deluxe, of course) delicious food and the perfect ambiance for a fun night out. We have loved Big Daddy's for years. It NEVER disappoints.“

“I’ve been coming here recently and love their creative food options. The staff is very kind. I like that they offer samples to customers. The oxtail Mac and cheese egg rolls are a hit as well as the oxtail smash burger. Their chicken soup is also delicious too!“

“Went in to get a beef patty later in the day closer to closing a nice young lady by the name of Claudia greeted me and took my order she was very polite and made sure I got my order in a timely fashion beef patty was great way better then the one u get at a random deli or pizzeria 10/10 would recommend swinging by if ur at the mall shopping“

“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.“

“This was my first time trying their food. I had the Curry Chicken lunch and dumplings (they were tasty after I reheated them). The CC, sweet plantain and cabbage were good! But I don't know why Jamaican restaurants only give you a table spoon of cabbage 😁. The rice was okay but a little dry even with gravy. The serve J. was nice!“

“Talk about the best Jamaica restaurant in the Northeast Bronx. Whatever is on the menu, it’s finger licking. Good customer service . Fast service , you will be in and out .. They give you a lot of oxtail gravy lol . The steam fish , fry chicken and oxtail is a must when you go there .“

“Don’t know why this has mixed reviews cause my experience was pretty decent, portions were good, service was excellent, the lady who served me went above and beyond to get me a nice plate and the food was good as well rice and peas with oxtail, the rice was soft and the meat was tender and juicy, absolutely no complaints, will come back to try their jerk chicken which they had ran out for the day when I came in, keep up the good work!“

“the food is always great, never disappointed.“

“I absolutely LOVE the food. I got a plate with oxtails, rice & peas, plantains and he makes sure your plate is full. Everything tasted like it was seasoned perfectly, the gravy was surprisingly light and delicious. I’m 1000% going back.
I sincerely doubt the bad reviews are from him, the plates aren’t even the same. I met his Mom too and she was really sweet! Made the experience even better ?

FYI: I took the picture below after a couple bites“

“Vegetarian options: You can order a few solely vegetarian dishes but perhaps if you request a specific dish - it will be added permanently to the menu

Parking: You will have time to pick up your order provided you are not parked during street sweeping periods“

“AMAZING EATS, GREAT & FRIENDLY SERVICE, AND NICE SIZE PORTIONS!“

“Current chef is on point, recommend trying now but who knows what the food will be if the chef goes, just like any other Jamaican restaurant the guy in the back is the real test of whether or not the food is good, this one knows what he's doing and the lady's serving the food ain't too bad, the little attitude they give to everyone is their way of letting you the food is good“

“Ordered fried chicken and beef soup, they didn't have the soup and I really appreciate the effort that was put into not just calling to update me but the extra step that Sherene took to call Uber Eats so I could be refunded. As always the food was delicious and very well packaged.“

“I seen this place on tik tok and said I needed go there and taste the food for myself. I drove over an hour to try some of their dishes. Me and my sister tried at least 8 dishes. Let me just say they did not disappoint! We absolutely loved everything!! I definitely will be going back for more.. I don't really eat leftovers but I sure did the next day lol. That shrimp fried rice, oxtail fried rice, and curry was everything! Young lady helping us out was super cool and very welcome. They will see me and my sister again for more dishes lol. Oh and the price for all that wasn't bad at all.. wish we took some pics but we were hungry and ready to eat lol.“

“They don’t sell anything that I haven’t enjoyed , from a variety of soups , a full meal , small bites (fried whitening, festival, fried dumplings, porridge, etc ) I love ❤️ franks soup bowl“

“When I say these folks are genuinely kind-hearted, I mean it—it's a rare find to encounter a Caribbean restaurant where the staff radiates happiness instead of serving up an attitude. The prices here are quite reasonable, making it easy on the wallet. The portions are generous and satisfying, truly making every bite worthwhile. Everything is freshly prepared right before your eyes; I visited late at night and was pleasantly surprised to see the food still bursting with flavor and freshness. I wholeheartedly recommend this charming little shop; it's an intimate space that feels welcoming. All you have to do is stop by and experience it for yourself—trust me, it’s absolutely worth it!“

“I Ordered the Large Oxtails and J*** BBQ Chicken . Both dishes were good and definitely worth the detour we took to get there. Oxails wasn't tough, it was almostmeltingin my mouth. The server was very nice and was ok with answering my questions. So service 5, taste food 5 but the decor of the store is definitely a 2. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong. it's a good store and I would definitely eat here a million more times.“

“The food was delicious. I used to go all the time (2021) and get fried chicken, but they didn't have it. So I got curry chicken and... IT TASTED LIKE CRACK (super delicious). There was only 1 worker and she was nice (my dad knows people there) and it's was kinda dark but the atmosphere was okay overall.“

“The taste of the breakfast: porridge, ackee n saltfish is superb: 5 stars. The portions are amazing. The service is okay, but they run out of breakfast quickly. The atmosphere doesn't look very inviting. It says: come in, get your food and get out. The place is dim and could use a face lift. I notice a lot of caribbean restaurants around here are kinda dim.Recommend visiting on the early side if you want don't want to leave empty handed.“

“Gentleman attire counter was very polite and helpful. Had white rice with chicken curry and fried chicken. The fried chicken was very tasty. Went back tonight after work had rice and peas with curry goat gravy and fried chicken. I can easily say one of the best Jamaican spot I have tried over the year.“

“I’m confused about the poor reviews. Every time I go their food is always on point. Personally I love the jerk chicken with rice. They are very generous with their portions and the flavor is amazing. The one star reviews are people who are sensitive to be honest. I don’t look for conversations I just look for good food and that’s what they have.“

“Imma Get Straight To It Lol
THAT MEDIUM WAS A LG 😂😂 GREAT PORTIONS FOR A MED. I LOVE THE VEG FROM ANY PLACE AND THEY PUT ALOOOOT
MAC N CHEESE WAS GOOD BUT NOT BETTER THAN MINE BUT IT WAS DEFF SOLID AND NOT LOOSE
DUMPLING WAS DRY AS HELL MOST LIKELY WONT EAT IT
I ORDERED A BEEF PATTY BUT THEY WERE OUT THEY DIDNT NOTIFY ME BUT I GET MY REFUND SO NO BIG THING. This Was purchased off grubhub I usually get deals and stuff on my app because of prime etc but this came up to 17 and change including the patty (but later got a refund)“

“Ate years ago kame bak to my they were still theee. Said stop by see what’s up. Stopped in same workers great service food was amazing. If you guys have not ate here yet your crazy. I’m a see if they let me steal a few recipes for my infused meal business!“

“jerk chicken is well done and priced reasonably.“

“Delicious TENDER oxtails.“
