I paid like $25 for a jerk chicken with a drink lol. Then, the girl eats some of my food when she goes the chop it. Then, the chicken tasted like dirty water when I attempted to eat it. She ate most of it anyways, she brought three full pieces to the back and came back with 1 1/2. So clearly I’ll just chop it myself next time. And then she over charges me. Is it even safe to eat here anymore ? Not to mention this has happened to me twice before eating here and just randomly being overcharged. I’m not the kind of person who throws a fit. But I’m definitely not gonna bother with this place anymore.

Great customer service
Update: I went in to get porridge on Saturday, first red flag porridge was available after 1pm. I asked to mixed the porridge cornmeal and peanut, the server said no problem. I was later quoted a price of $7 for a small porridge. The price was a little too much, but if the porridge was good, it would have been worth it. The peanut porridge was watery and the cornmeal was fresh.I also got a chilli fry chicken with white rice for my friend she didn't like it either.

Stumbled on this gem while exploring Brooklyn. We’re from Los Angeles. We wanted something we don’t usually go for. The food here is amazing. Everything was delicious. Came here with 2 others and we each got something different and all of our plates were so good. Nothing but locals coming in and out. Which was a good sign. We probably stuck out like a sore thumb but the person working behind the counter helped us out and was very nice. Definitely recommend this spot to anybody!

This was the first time I visited, and the service was excellent because a man was behind the counter he was patient, kind, and friendly.unlike the female who works there

Got the large plate of oxtail with rice. The oxtail was tender and sweet with a kick of spice. The rice was tasty and delicious with the gravy poured over. The Cole slaw was super fresh and had a vinegar and mild sweetness with shaved carrots
The food was absolutely delicious—authentic, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. But the staff made it even better with their warm and attentive service. Highly recommend this spot for great Caribbean food and hospitality!

When it comes to good food! This is a place you need to eat. I have been purchasing /enjoying food from this restaurant for 5+ years. Excellent meals, cook to perfection,a real slice of Jamaica in Brooklyn, friendly staff ,fast and courteous service. May God continue to bless the chefs and staff at JamDown restaurant.
