“Came in the girl up front greeted us . Asked what we wanted . It is very different from any other Jamaican food place I been at . Very friendly . I ordered oxtail and the small size . They put so much of it with rice and peas and plantain . Very worth it .“

“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!“

“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.“

“Had JerkQ’zine cater the cocktail hour of my wedding this past weekend on 10.10.2020. I ordered many small bites including cocktail patties, assorted surprise dumpling bites, and fritters. I did not get to sample the bites as they were all thoroughly enjoyed by my guests! Contact information was also provided to many who asked. Thank you Jerk Q’zine for making my day successful! #jerkq’zine“

“I can still and will always remember November 13th. This was one of the most important day of my life my wedding day. I went to the restaurant to speak with Mr. McKnight of this my special day about 2 weeks f before the due date, this is so because the first time I ate his meal I felt as I was floating on dry land the food was off the chain. From then I told him that whenever I am getting married he have to do the catering for me. He was excited and happy for me. All he said was write what I wanted on the menu and he would do the rest. Wow wow wow what can I say the food was one in a million. The guests enjoy ever bit of what was provided and wanted to know more about his business. Guess what I later found out that I even got dishes that was not on my menu. Mr. McKnight continue doing what you doing. All the best in you endeavors.“

“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.“

“Friendly service, VERY reasonable prices, almost cheap if I’m being honest. The jerk chicken was good, could’ve had more spice for my liking, but it was good. The rice and peas delicious, and the curry chicken gravy I got over my rice was amazing I think I might try the curry chicken next time. I will definitely go back again.“

“Very good food, drinks (descent) and atmosphere. The owners are friendly and will accommodate you as much as possible. I remember my very first time going there it was my 2018 2nd Masters Graduation celebration. The owner surprised me with a nice setting with tables and covered chairs, great lighting and the aviance was breathtaking. My guest, family and I thought it was quite impressive. The prices are reasonable as well.“

“The curry chicken and macaroni and cheese was the best I ever bought from a Jamaican restaurant. The food tastes so fresh. I didn't get kanisha telephone number but I will be back. Too bad I live in the Bronx. She gave excellent customer service“

“absolutely delicious food curtious staff all around great eats"!“
