“I'm giving it five stars across the board because at Mama Dulce's restaurant, it's like eating at a Brazilian Portuguese grandmother's humble home complete with the Brazilian Portuguese novellas and music playing in the background. She even helped me find parking on the street so I can eat lunch!”

“This is, in my opinion, the most underrated burger place I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying, what I consider to be the best of the best, the buns of the burgers and chicken sandwiches are so light and fluffy, it's like biting into air, the chicken so crispy, and burgers, so juicy, mmm, mmm, trust me, everything they have on the menu is Fabulous!!!”

“The food was delicious, the service impeccable & the ambiance was off the charts. You get a warm, family feeling here. This little treasure of a place should not be overlooked. It us a jewel!”

“If you like authentic Jamaican food with real spices, pepper and all that, this is the place to go. It’s very clean and well maintained. Thank you Bishop Lynne Middleton for introducing me to this amazing restaurant. Yes the food was delicious! I don’t normally eat outside fried chicken but I decided to give it try with rice & peas with oxtail gravy, callaloo. I enjoyed the meal for 2 days. Even my friend who ordered oxtail, she was raving about it as well. She said, “I should’ve ordered 3 more meals.” I’ll be returning there very soon with another friend who likes authentic Jamaican food. ?”

“Me senti em casa entre esses mineiros agradaveis que fazem uma comida maravilhosa! 😉👍💜🔺”

“First and foremost, the place is impeccable. Owner greeted us and her team has excellent customer service experience. Amazing banana pudding!!! I close my eyes and dream of their banana pudding ❤️”

“Joe’s remains a 5 for me. They still make consistently good pizza. Always great to see familiar faces, too.

Vegetarian options: Pizza, salad, pasta”

“Good place but has the exact same items since they opened, geez change some of the items please. Also music is frequently so loud, you can’t enjoy the meal”

“Nice place with good service and delicious healthy smoothies. What more can I say? Support a good quality local business!”

“Usually I don’t trust high ratings with only a few stars but I tried today while waiting on some work to get done and definitely left full and satisfied. Can definitely recommend their stew and fried chicken. Will be returning when next I’m in the area.”

“Black own establishment with very professional staff members. Staff are extremely knowledgeable about the positive effects of each smoothie. The business was very clean and staff embrace customers like family.”

“Good morning, everyone. I never used to go there, but my sister and nieces told me how they love how they made their sandwiches. I've been going there every since.

Dietary restrictions: Unsure, but they do have a menu for those who are vegetarian

Kid-friendliness: Yes, I would say a lot of teenagers and parents I would see there”

“� Me encantan los tacos que me preparan de nopales asados queso fresco, cilantro cebolla picadita y aguacate �, y las quesadillas de champiñones ��”

“Having Italian Grandparents and mother, they always had cookies and Struffoli around their house in Jersey during Christmas. I’m so thankful to have found Artuso’s! Their cookies and Struffoli are awesome. Artuso’s has helped bring back memories! Thank y’all! A very satisfied North Carolina family! Merry Christmas 🎁🎄”

“My husband and I were at Broken Bow. I ordered at Ran & Gui's kitchen the last minute. So, I ordered whatever they had left which was the catfish bits, BBQ chicken wings, and chicken tenders. I have had catfish in the past which was flavorless. However, Ran & Gui's catfish bites was so flavorful that I didn't need the tartar sauce to enjoy them. My husband loved their chicken tenders and he mostly ate them without the honey mustard sauce. As far as the BBQ chicken wings, they were like regular BBQ chicken wings. We will definitely come back for the catfish and chicken tenders 😊.”

“Customer Service was on point. New business in the area and they are making their mark. Authentic Jamaican food and the fried chicken is the best!! Not to mention the deli sandwiches are a good addition to the menu.”

“We decided to return to this lounge for the second time because we enjoyed the first visit.This visit different but mostly fun nonetheless.We sat for maybe 5-10 minutes because the bartender finished her conversation to attend to us.During those 5-10 minutes we enjoyed the Karaoke that was two rum punches which was a whopping $30.That threw me off a bit because on our first visit we order 6 drinks total for $50.Anyway, the rum punches were good, one was STRONG, the other was sweet but you could still taste the liquor.We were then greeted by a second bartender who was more pleasant than the first and more welcoming.She asked questions and checked on us to make sure we were okay.The dj was good but you can tell he’s old school which is fine because the car attracts crowds off all ages.The regulars there participating in the karaoke had great voices, especially the men.I asked about a food menu but was told that the kitchen was closed, this was about 11:30pm Friday night.They recommended a food truck that was parked next to the building that was affiliated with the lounge.The bathroom was very clean and well kept.

Parking: It’s best to take a cab or public transportation”

“My brother's here is the best on that block..forget next door expensive sour food...I'll get my chicken over rice or ?? over rice...wedges so gd..always a gd vybz wen i buy from here...”

“I went to SCRV today for the first time after like a year of wanting to go. This is a fire place in the neighborhood that I probably won't go back to because of the people that goes. Dudes be standing on the wall instead of dancing...that's to say, the ratio is pretty good.. A downside (like the first sentence wasn't one) is it closes at 1 AM at least on Fridays. Furthermore...some of the the women are scheming, trying to sell you on the next spot (spoiler: $100 bottles that really cost 30-40 max which would be fine but... They also charge cover-they don't tell you that part.) Additionally, they'll surely call you broke if you opt out of being swindled.

TLDR: Go to SGRV but not wherever else anyone tell you to go. My honest opinion.”

“Love the Oxtail, Rice and Peas , Jerk Chicken on point as well??

Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of space to park”

“best hot dog in ny”

“Been there and the pastry and ice cream is one of a kind. Karaoke Fridayz turned up, not to mention the friendly faces and vibes that makes you feel like you belong. Smoothies and green juice naturally blended.”

“I get so excited every time we get a chance to visit Oracabessa. This is my favorite go to spot for delicious, authentic, home style Jamaican food, that always hits the spot. Regardless the time of day, Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they gotcha! The food tastes like someone has poured love and magic into every bite and the portion sizes are Nice! While I have my faves, I totally recommend you try everything and see for yourself.

Did I mention they always host fish fry’s? You’re so lucky to have found them, enjoy!”

“The best chicken wings you’ve never had!!!!
My first time trying these wings in 2008, l can say I wasn’t appreciative of its uniqueness but I never forgot its taste. Yesterday while at my hair appointment I decided to take a walk since it wasn’t far from where I was.

Just wow, it was actually even better than i remember.
Crispy, well done and the sugar just elevates this simple dish 🤤 Also NOTICE how I didn’t mention any other menu items, you can go ahead and try those at your own expense 😊

Bo Bo garden is not updated or upgraded, as this area is non gentrified and still has most of its old shops and establishments (which I personally love)
It is very important to stay organic and very you in a fast paced society & I commend businesses that stick to their original practices they know work for them

Anywhoooooo, if anyone tries these wings please tag me in your video and let me know what you think! You won’t regret it, I promise!

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor access”

“me agrada mucho la atención y su comida”

“I visit this spot a lot since I work nearby. I like how their service is always good and they keep the spot well kept constantly. Prices are convenient and they serve large portions.”

“I come here pretty often they only take cash the owner and her daughters Are always very nice and very fast chicken wings egg rolls and lo mein and wonton soup is always on point food is always hot and there ice tea is brewed with real tea not that ice tea in a can that they dump loads of sugar on and they are open everyday but on tuesdays they open at 3pm”

“I’m a cook, very picky about where I buy food for and for years would walk by & I never went to this place. Wasn’t until my longtime bestie and others co-signed - I went and have to say I enjoy the food!”

“The best of everything! The men who work here are respectful I hope the never hire a woman. The store is clean, products on clear display. Friendly service, the food is made to order very good and just how you want it. They play good music for all to enjoy , I prefer this place over all others. The location is special to me because it is located where I used to get breakfast at all the time, the restaurant closed then the store opened. It’s definitely a minority owned business and it definitely serves the whole community”

“Great food but lots of drunks nearby. Very small store but has alot of Mexican food which is tasty. Owner is rude but has a very hard working unpaid underage son working there who is valid.”

“Goodd food, Good Service 👍”

“Good southern food. I've never been in this spot and it was empty. Generous portions and the turkey wings, ribs, collard greens, corn bread and pinto never disappoint.”

“Great food but terrible customer service I absolutely love your restaurant the food is amazing! But honestly, some of your staff could really use hospitality training. There’s no reason I should be leaving upset just because an employee didn’t want to serve me over something as small as extra gravy. Without customers, there wouldn’t even be a business, so the service needs to reflect that.”

“"While the food was flavorful and the atmosphere was good, my experience with the owner was disappointing and raised questions about the establishment's integrity because he charged me $40.00 for hookah when it was only 20.00.”

“You'll notice how the staff listens to what you want. This restaurant offers affordable quality. The flavors are extraordinary. The workers here create comfortable familiarity. This spot earned maximum stars.”

“I got a lot to say but it is best that you take the trip here and find out.
It is not a fancy place but it's one of those gems in the wall.

Fantastic pizza!”

“Today I ordered salmon and white rice and I will tell you, that salmon was out of this world! It was seasoned with unions and it tasted absolutely delicious! I’ve never tasted salmon that good before. It was made just perfect!”

“Try the salmon and shrimp honey jerk with veggies. Has the right amount of spices!”

“Best Deli Sandwiches Ever, my kids and I were very Satisfied and Impressed by the Quality and Taste. We found a new Favorite spot in Town. I Highly recommend this Place!!✅”

“I grew up on their food and to me this is the best Chinese food spot in Mount Vernon

Vegetarian options: They have what ever you want and more”

“Anytime I come here the people working here are always friendly and patient. I haven't been here quite as long as most people but I can confidently recommend this store to people interested in good cooked food and general products.”

“Its rare to go to a jamaican restaurant and they have a full comprehensive menu with all items available 7 days a week. In most places they only serve certain items on certain days. Everything is available everyday here. And the taste is top notch. From now on, I will come here everytime I'm in NYC.”

“The employees are very attentive...I absolutely love their vibe and their welcoming nature....
But the manager(Female) is not pleasant at all..even towards the employees...I had gone today to do my regular and I made it up to the counter to order and she came from the back to do something and as soon as I and the ppl behind me seen her we exited the store...I hadn't a clue the people behind me were exiting for the same exact reason until we were all outside...

I will not go back while she's there EVER!!

HER ATTITUDE SUCKS!!

AND I WILL TELL OTHERS AS WELL IF SHE DOESNT GET HER NASTY ATTITUDE TOGETHER!!!”

“Don’t listen to the negative reviews done by SPAM accounts. They’re always nice and every time I order boneless spare ribs they’re delicious. Way better than the other places in Mount ”

“Fried chicken was delicious and hot.
Crispy, and surprisingly juicy, but the chicken itself lacked flavor
Fries were crispy and soggy , but overall everything was really good and amazingly priced .”

“Definitely a great way to represent culture by way of the stomach!! Anyone who can appreciate delicious homestyle West Indian food should come here!”
