Jamaican Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“Me and my friend had the pleasure of wandering upon this foodtruck. The staff are lovely, personable and beyond the fantastic oxtail we got to enjoy, they also provided us with great conversation and vibes. Highly recommend! Love you guys, Andrea from London.“

“I hadn’t been to this area in about six years, and the last time I was here, this spot was a Golden Krust. Coming back after so long, I went looking for an old favorite and ended up finding a new one — Juici Patties!
The patties here are truly amazing. Tonya was such a welcoming and friendly face when I stopped by for the first time. She helped me decide what to try and assured me everything was delicious — she wasn’t lying!
After grabbing lunch on my break that day, I was hooked. I’ve easily been back for at least ten patties since! I stop by during lunch and sometimes even before heading home. The ingredients are always fresh, and the fillings are packed with flavor.
The house-made juice is also a must-try — perfectly sweet and refreshing.
If you’re anywhere near Downtown Brooklyn, do yourself a favor and take the walk. You might just find your new addiction, too.
Thank you, Juici Patties (and Tonya), for the incredible food and great vibes!“

“good food the most amazing jerk chicken and the best drinks“

“J*** chicken is always on point - one of the best I’ve tasted in a while - so flavorful and delicious. They have found themselves another repeat customer - always. Would definitely recommend Steve’s Original J**** You won’t be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Was recommended to go here a couple of weeks ago by a friend who lives nearby and always Door Dash from here. Ordered the escovitch meal and fried whiting for my daughter. The whiting never made it home 😊 It was crunchy and very well seasoned. My daughter ate it all in the car. Thank you to the server for giving her good pieces. The escovitch, I should've gotten a large. It was so good. Definitely a much different and better taste that what I am used to in Queens. I will definitely be back“

“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.“

“Me and my large family had dinner at this restaurant to honor my fathers heavenly birthday. It was truly the best experience I've had at a restaurant in a very very long time and it was thanks to our waiter Jesus. He was very attentive and helpful. He saw that we had small children and helped us with their order first and then proceeded to take the rest of our orders. He really loved his job and was very warm and kind. The establishment as a whole is very nice and classy. Very grown and sexy. The music is perfect and the food was very good! The oxtail Lo Mein was so good. Its located inside Hotel Indigo, to the right after entering. I really really loved this experience. Thank you so much. I'll be back with my girlfriends or on a date❤️🙏🏽 A new staple spot for me.“

“I usually get jerk chicken there and patties. These are the ones I like to buy there. The other food are good too but, I have my preferences. Just jerk chicken,not the meal . Long time ago, I used to buy fish there but,it became too hot/ spicy for me to digest.“

“The curried goat and rice and also the stew peas with pigtail are the best. Very tasty and filling.“

“This place had some of the best jerk chicken I ever had in my life. I've gone back 3x times in the past month and they are not there anymore. Does anyone have an updated location for this jerk pit?Because now I'm sad...sad spelled backwards is das and das not good :/“

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

“The Food Is Great And The Workers Are Polite“

“Absolutely love this place. Their cornmeal porridge warms the soul. Their chicken foot with rice and peas is delicious. Their curry chicken is so delicious and juicy just amazing. (This is not all from one sitting I’ve come back multiple times)“

“I’ve been coming to this restaurant for the last year intermittently and I have to say the food has always been amazing. Mummy the owner, she is such a delight to speak with each and every time. not sure who the chef is, but please don’t change your chef. Keep the good food coming. this week’s menu each day they had something different. It was a surprise. Big up to Step On Top. You’re doing an amazing job..“

“My church just hosted a fish fry. I shopped around everywhere to find a price that was right. All the prices that the big name restaurants gave me were unrealistic. I found this wonderful woman, owner of this beautiful restaurant. She was so polite, so helpful, and motivating when I felt like giving up on the event. I ordered 2 kinds of fish, 50 total, and that was the NICEST fish I’ve ever eaten. I could recommend this establishment to any party, any event, any anything lol. This is the place to be. she’s very efficient and I loved the entire experience with her.“

“this is one of the best flavors in Brooklyn“

“Anyway, I went on TikTok craving a good plate of jerk chicken and we all know Tik Tok is an amazing guide. I saw a video about irie jerk and KNEW I had to try it the same day. And I did. Since then I have been a regular at irie jerk. I have always had a great experience and my chicken is always up to par. I truly appreciate the copious amounts of sauces available! My favorite combo is the sweet chill and chilli jerk. It gives me the perfect balance of spice and sweetness. Since the closing of the jerk spot on church and 94th I haven’t found a place that gives the same jerk chicken taste it was popular for until I found irie jerk.

After reading all of the reviews, let me say the time of day in which you purchase food makes a big difference at ANY and EVERY food establishment. There are busy days and there are slow days. This will directly affect the food quality. Additionally food is subjective, what I look for in jerk chicken may not be what the next person looks for.

Nonetheless, I am a proud patron of Irie Jerk!“

“Great food and staff everytime I go there. Very friendly staff. I recommend this restaurant all day.“

“For Thanksgiving dinner we ordered a large pan of j*** salmon and a pan of Rasta pasta. The pasta was amazing and the salmon was even better! They don’t serve you small pieces of salmon... they were meaty! And made for great leftovers. When I visit New York again, Island Choiz will definitely be a go to.“

“I came across this place, after taking my son to school, I was hungry so I thought I'd give it a try, I had the saltfish with, yam, dumpling and green banana, OMG the food was soo good, flavorful, right amount of seasoning and pepper , I will definitely come back to try other items, so good“

“Excellent Excellent Excellent Excellent and the price was just as good“

“It was a good experience, I went there initially to find out how much it would be for a small pan of BBQ chicken and it was way too much so I didn't order it but I did get half chowmein and half fried rice with BBQ chicken and it was really good. I'm Guyanese so they did a great job with the food.“

“The service was okay I'm not sure what's up with Jamaican restaurant customer service they are not very pleasant to deal with. They act as if they never want to be at work. I get it but not every single day is a bad day. I really like the fried chicken that's why I continue to return“

“I’m using a 5 start review so people see this. These staff members are genuinely disgusting. I’m unsure if it’s the owner or if it’s a manager who was speaking to me, but I came in today after seeing a disabled homeless man asking for food outside (he couldn’t come inside because his mobility scooter was too big) and i decided to go in and ask if they had soup. The lady looked outside, saw the man, rolled her eyes and straight up told me no. Regardless if she wasn’t lying or not, don’t give attitude to people who are consumers or potential consumers. You also should know how long your food takes to cook since I know this place has been open for a while. If food takes 3 hours to cook, you start making it before consumers come in. I ended up going somewhere else and buying this man some soup because no one deserves to be hungry and cold. Horrible service and attitude.“

“The food is delicious and portions reasonable, pricing is very affordable however they need to invest in customer service: meaning perhaps offering delivery and taking orders over the phone! If your lunch time is 1hr it is not feasible for you to stand on line half hour just to get food!.“

“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.“

“Great drinks and the good is very good“

“my hats last forever. always look new“

“Love this comfort spot, im so happy they still have the $3 affordable meal. I’ve been coming here for years, but after moving away, I happened to be back in the area and was excited to see they still offer the $3 chicken menu. Such a great resource for the community“

“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!!!!“

“The stars are for the food only customer service is trash dem act like they are doing u the favor u can't ask a question without attitude lucky I don't live in the area anymore so mi look fwd to the food mainly the curry goat almost just like eating it back home frfr ... and get a card reader“

“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. :)“

“I won't be returning here. The food is good but the portions are small. The ackee & saltfish dish has very little ackee & practically no saltfish. They try to stretch it using extra onions. I don't want any Darn onions, I want to see what i'm paying for......Ackee with Saltfish!! Silvers Crust restaurant on Utica Ave, their portions are far better.“

“MI LOVE EVERYTING! Must come get some food. make u feel like home!“

“Wonderful“

“Boston Jerk City is great! I've been to plenty of restaurants (especially carribean) and Boston Jerk City has by far been the best. The food is always consistantly good and the portions are very overwhelming but great if u like to enjoy the next day or later. I feel like the restaurant should have a more welcoming feel, the thick plastic glass between you & the server is sort of strange but I know its for there safety. But overall, I RECOMMEND BOSTON JERK CITY TO ALL.“

“Yaad man thing or tings lol😂. It’s labor day weekend and I wanted some Caribbean food . So I found yaad man things and it was my first time trying them . I had the jerk chicken with bbq sauce . Honestly it was decent , very flavorful and the chicken was tender . I’ll be back when I’m in the neighborhood . 👍🏾.“

“Staff was very hospitable, clean environment, portions sufficient and the flavor of the calaloo, okra and saltfish was excellent. Will stop in again when I am in the area. Please try this establishment you will enjoy the food. Massachusetts Resident“

“Breakfast lunch and dinner .always on point and very nice service“

“Ordered Oxtails, J*** Chicken and Stew chicken with My Aunt there Recently and the food was excellent! Oxtails well simmer with a flavorful brown gravy, j*** chicken and j*** sauce felt like home in Tummy, and Stew was just smooth in mouth ! ???“

“I ordered a chicken soup I was craving all day and was looking for a restaurant that sells soup. This was Sunday after thanksgiving so none of the restaurants made soup. This was the only restaurant in Brooklyn that had soup. I’m grateful for them and the soup was nice and hot and delicious. Thank you so much many blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾“

“The fried chicken is the most popular on their menu. My personal favorite is the jerk chicken, made to order steam fish, baked macaroni and cheese. Please don't get me started on Dougie's sweet potato pudding. Their food is not only delicious but affordable as well. They also offer delivery and catering services too!!!!!!“

“I told my friends about this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The dishes they serve are yummy and the team is efficient and cooperative. always when we eat in this place we have a gorgeous evening. highly recommended.“

“Food was great but when I got home I had no eating utensils. The works left the young teen im the front of the store while they had several customers in front waiting for service. You can hear the other workers in the other room chatting in up. While I'm thinking is anyone going to.co.e out here and help this young cat.Needs more customer service skills.“

“I stop by here from time to time because my mom loves the soups and stews from here. The customer service could be better though, sometimes they're nice, other times you get attitude like they couldn't be bothered to serve you. Very hit or miss with the service but the food has always been good according to my mom and they have good pricing for there stuff. Check them out if you're in the mood for some good West Indian food in the neighborhood.“

“It's the best food in the neighborhood and still going strong after 30 years. The wait can be a little long, but, you can't rush perfection! They get it right every time. It's only one lady there who's been there a little while now, everytime I visit who seems to give me bad attitude, otherwise it's 5 stars from me“
