“I’m new to the area…. And If you’re looking for a meal that hits every note of flavor and comfort, the oxtail and fresh roti here are an absolute must. The oxtail is cooked to perfection—tender, fall-off-the-bone, and seasoned with rich spices that soak into every bite. The gravy is bold, hearty, and full of depth, perfect for scooping up with their freshly made roti. Speaking of the roti, it’s soft, warm, and flaky, the ideal partner to the savory oxtail. Together, it’s the kind of dish that feels like home—authentic, flavorful, and made with care. Hands down, some of the best oxtail and roti I’ve ever had!“

“I was in the mood for a beef patty and just so happened to be in those neck of the woods. My mom had esciviche fish and a side of cabbage, and I had a medium jerk chicken with rice and peas with cabbage along with 2 mild beef patties. In addition we bought 2 drinks as well. Came to about $48 in total. Fish was well seasoned and tender. Chicken was jerking as it should be, and the beef patty was hot temperature-wise and tasted fresh. Also, the service personnel had a pleasant demeanor and gave a decent portion size.“

“We had oxtails with peas/rice and cabbage. The food was seasoned perfectly and not at all greasy. I also tried the beef soup because they were almost sold out and the sample was amazing! The plate was a nice amount of food also and worth the price.“

“Sundays after church....My go to favorite is their curry goat 😋. I also like their, jerk chicken. Always order a large plate, I get two sometimes three depending how hungry I am.
The reason I minus 1 star is due to service & quantity of food a time I went in the evening for the first time on a Friday. My large plate was not equal to what I normally would receive when I went on Sundays. I didn't make a fuss about it because the server was already in a mood. It wasn't worth it and I was already tired. I know to just stick to my Sundays.“

“Mmmmmmm Good!!!! There aren't any words to describe the food! !!“

“It was my very first time visiting J & D Good Taste Restaurant… I am beyond satisfied and highly impressed with the quality of the food. Amazing taste. I ordered the griot to stay, the legumes, and Bouillon to go. The griot was absolutely delicious and fresh, platains done well!! Now, when I got home and tasted the bouillon it felt like I was back home at Moms…OMG!! The legumes was the same … just like Moms. They give very nice portions and lots of meat. I’m definitely going back. Now I have to try my Jamaican faves from them. You’ve gained a customer in me. Thank You !!“

“I’ve just had my third meal at Tony Mac’s in as many days, and again I was not disappointed!??? For lunch I had the curry goat which comes well-seasoned with rice and peas, steamed veggies and plantain. To drink I had a number 5 Sea Moss drink called “The Mac Body Heat” to wake up the body made of - Sea Moss, wheat germ, oats, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, roots and something called tigerbone! ???The waitress noted to me on the way out “Look after your wife tonight, the next day you might be getting a welcome visitor from the Creator!Great meal and the medium was mighty big for the money -$25 for the meal and drink! Highly recommended for great food, Garnett Silk music while you wait and the baby maker shake!!!!?????????Honey I’m home!????“

“This was my very first time eating Jamaican food, I’ve always heard stories and myths about how delicious and sensual Jamaican food was. I came here late at night with my boys and u walked in and i felt at home, at peace. I ordered medium jerk chicken platter with rice and the sweet lady working the store packed my medium size box to the BRIM, I was shaking with excitement. I pay for the meal (extremely good price btw) and leave, I get faded with my boys and I’m trembling just thinking about the Jamaican food sitting in that plastic bag, I finally can’t wait any longer, I dig in and … oh… my… goodness… I had never experienced such a euphoric, earth shattering experience… a tear ran down my leg… the food was just out of this world, I will never forget that, I will never forget the kind and gentle Jamaican women who made that night complete, 6/5 stars if I could Fn
