The staff is friendly and welcoming, and service is usually quick even when it’s busy. It has a casual, no-frills atmosphere that focuses on what matters most: good food and good portions.

“My Family and I just finished having a late lunch here. The food was sooooo good and the service was great, we appreciate the staff accommodating our large party in such a short notice. The vibe was super chill and Pops was dope, came thru with a few samples 🙏🏾 Thanks again, we will be back next time we are in NYC.“

“Service & taste. We (group of 12) served by Seeta & Rebecca. Seeta did a great job by carefully taking our orders with special requests. All went very well & we were all pleased with the overall experience of taste & the service we’ve received. Will definitely be back for the great food.“

“Ryry's catered a conference lunch for us for about 100 people and it was delicious food and a very professional experience. They were super responsive over phone and email, made helpful suggestions about planning the menu, answered questions about allergens, and overall were so kind each time we spoke. People could not stop saying how good the food was--and they were right! My only regret is that since I was running the conference I didn't get to eat as much of the food as I would have liked! We will definitely use Ryry's again for future events.“

“TinNel’s Patties in Baldwin is an absolute must! Their patties are consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The girls working there are always sweet and friendly. A must-try for anyone craving authentic and delicious Jamaican patties. Highly recommend!“

“Good breakfast Good lunch and good dinner“

“I picked up food here for the first time and Auntie was so incredibly welcoming. She was happy to let me sample a handful of the dishes they were serving, all of which were delicious.

The oxtail here is just phenomenal. The depth of flavor of the gravy was such a standout. My rice and peas were covered in it and I wish I had more!

The jerk chicken was incredibly tender and the sweet and spicy sauces were a great compliment.

The fresh pine ginger drink is a must have and the homemade coco bread was pillowy soft.

The chef is an absolute pro here when it comes to salinity. The seasoning was spot on for every entree without any lingering saltiness.“

“Never been disappointed with the food from New Thriving Restaurant here on 120-12 Liberty Ave. Queens!!! Can't get enough of the Jerk Chicken LoMein or Garlic chicken chow mein!!! Not to mention they serve you man size portion plates and with friendly/pretty smiles... I'm giving them 5 Stars on the food and service alone!!“

The menu offers a wide variety of cuisines all under one roof, making it easy to satisfy different tastes in one order. The food was fresh, flavorful, and prepared quickly. I always order the salads because they are consistently fresh, generously portioned, and packed with flavor. The convenience, variety, and overall quality make Wonder a solid choice for takeout or a casual meal. I'd definitely order from there again.“

“Visited from Orlando,Florida and was in the mood for some Guyanese homemade food for brunch. We ate here and they had a wide variety of food options from doubles, cook up, bake and salt fish and various curries paired with The best tasting roti I have had in a long time. We ended it all off with some very tasty Pastries that are homemade in store. The owner Serita is very hospitable and made sure we had everything and that we were well taken care of! If you are ever in the Queens/Long Island area I highly encourage you to stop in for a hearty meal“

The dish tasted homemade but elevated, the kind of food that makes you feel both satisfied and cared for. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Tati Jo’s is the kind of place where the food and the people make you want to come back again and again.“

“Went there last night to pick up dinner. It was busy. I ordered the jerk chicken rasta pasta and it was bomb.com! I didnt expect it to be this good. My husband ordered the 6$ bag from the too good to go app and he got 2 plates of fried chicken with rice and chicken curry. The curry and rice was ok. I liked the fried chicken. But 2 plates for 6$! What a steal! We will be definitely going here again.“

“Thank you is the least I can say to Tropical Isles to show my appreciation for all you’ve done for my daughter’s wedding. I’ve had 450 happy people who couldn’t stop talking about how great the food was, I must say I’m very happy to choose Tropical Isles to catered my wedding, from the 7 curry to the delicious sweets, one family member who describe it as a slam dunk, grand slam. I was very impressed with all the food prepared and served at the wedding venue in New Jersey, tropical isle went above and beyond to take the stress away from us and give us the time to celebrate our wedding with our guests. I will most definitely recommend tropical isle for any event big or small.“

“I’m big on first impressions, and from the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such a warm welcome! I ordered “house food” rice, dhal, and pochownie—and it truly tasted like home. Everything was so flavorful and comforting. The salara was warm and gooey, just how I like it! Every dish was fresh, and the portions were generous. I’ll definitely 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.“

“My fiance got us dinner today & I must say it taste very great. We have been looking for a good Jamaican restaurant for some time now. Every cook has slight dif flavor and you can always taste the dif in food. The food was healthy & the overall service provided was very respectful. We also felt full and great after our meal! Looking forward to coming again :)“

“Came here for last minute dinner. Was not bad. I dropped a star because unfortunately because they gave me someone's else order. I understand it was super busy but that's a no no in my book. Othet wise the paella was to die for. Seafood was nice and fresh. Great string drinks.“

“Decided to stop by since I was craving Jamaican food tonight. The portions are huge here! Definitely a bang for your buck. Got the stewed chicken and the jerk chicken for the rice platters. I love Mac and cheese so I definitely had to try it with some jerk chicken on top. Everything was great and the customer service was as well. I’ll definitely be stopping by again.“

“We catered from Trini Bites for a brunch with friends to celebrate our recent wedding. Working with Renee was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, she was attentive and responsive. We knew we wanted to cater Trini food as my husband is Trini and I felt the stakes were high to make sure everything went well! And Renee delivered on every front.

The food was an absolute smash hit -- no tray was left untouched or unpolished, and we even sent folks home with to-go containers as they loved the food so much. Particular favorites were the stew chicken, the buss up shot, the mini doubles, and the curry chana and potatoes. Renee made sure that our dietary preferences were met, which was no small feat as we had vegetarians, vegans, kosher-observant (no shellfish), and halal-observant (no pork or pork byproducts) in attendance!

If you've ever been curious Trini food or simply want to serve something different for your party or gathering, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend working with Renee and Trini Bites at all.“

“i had the most delicious cheese straws from them took me back to my childhood. Dan also makes the MOST AMAZING black cakes.“

“Highly recommended, delicious food, amazing atmosphere and place. The service is on another level, very friendly staff“

“I hate to leave this but I feel I must. Stopped in on a Sunday, not too crowded but still a wait. I ordered fried rice for the first time and it was riddled with bacteria. IYKYK. So of course I threw out the meat it was packaged with. So disappointed 😞“

“If there’s a line… it moves pretty quickly.. so if you’re a first timer….they may not be too Patient. Food was good tho. Because they have a lot of repeat customers, I think they forgot that customer service is what brings customers back too. I’ll be back if I’m in the area.“

“Don't let this tiny place dictate your opinion. The ox tail was flavorful and the fat melted in your mouth, meat falls off the bone so you know it has been cooking for a bit. The staff are friendly and welcoming. A hidden gem worth visiting if you're in the hood.“

“I took a trip to the mall with my family to go shopping, but we got hungry, so we stopped over to get some food. We entered the new Dallas BBQ's and got terrible service. No one knew what they were doing at ALL. We waited for 20 minutes for a SERVER, and got nothing. We left angry and tired, and entered Sally's Carribian Resurant on a whim. Best idea of my life. The food (shout out to the Chef, Mr. C) was incredible, flavorful, and extremely filling. The service was just as good- Wonderful even (Shout ou to Mia). Our server was fun, engaging, and listened with extreme thoughtfulness to our orders. With this experience, I might never go to another Dallas BBQ in my life!! If Sally's Carribian Resurant deserves 5 full starts, then Dallas BBQ is 10 stars DOWN. Thank you, Sally's Carribian Resurant, thank you, Mia, and thank you, Mr. C!! No thank you, BBQ's.“

“I've only had breakfast food and it was delicious. Sometimes the saltfish is a hit or miss. sometimes the cook throws a little seasoning in which makes it taste so much better and sometimes they don't and it just taste like reg saltfish. Otherwise food is yummy!“

“Delicious 😋 definitely will be back“

“Certainly a must place to be. Great customer service. Comfortable vibe“

“Lately the pastries red bread pinetarts and blackeyes are horrible. Not very tasty and very dry. Very disappointing.“

“Our village roti shop is really very wonderful , tasty restaurant they have authentic Guyanese Trinidadian Suriname food which Is very tasty? They are located in Jamaica in new queens, village, people from all over New York visiting this restaurant, because they sell very authentic, tasty, hygienic food. And the people who working here are really very nice. People respectful people, they talk very nice with the customers. Highly recommended“

“Proper place to party nice music great customer service and great bottle packages For birthday and special events ONE BAR AND LOUNGE is a must 🥃🥃🥃🥃“

“Coalhouse Express and Market is hands down one of the best spots for authentic Jamaican food in the area. The flavors are bold, rich, and consistent every time you visit. From the perfectly seasoned jerk chicken to the tender oxtail and fresh sides, everything tastes like it’s made with real care and passion.
The staff is welcoming, the service is quick, and the overall vibe makes you feel like you’re getting a true Caribbean experience right here in Baldwin. You can tell they take pride in both their food and their customers.
If you’re looking for high-quality Jamaican cuisine with great portions and unforgettable flavor, this is definitely a place you need to try. Highly recommend!“

“I have been here quite a few times I love this little spot. However I finally gotten a bad waitress she lied about not having hot water to clean my silverware. I have stomach issues so I have to be extremely careful or ill have a terrible reaction. I instead used ice water and still had that terrible reaction I had to run out to puke was pouring sweat I was in between going to the er and trying to sleep off the pain I was in. I know next time to bring plastic wear or ask for a different waitress.“

“I must say their food is delicious , shrimp wontons is sooo good .. I had the pepper shrimp over fry rice it was very tasty .. the staff was very friendly .. price is great“
