I visited this place twice and enjoyed the food on both occasions. On my first visit, I had the rice and peas and jerk chicken, which was solid. On my second visit, I tried the rice and peas and kingfish, which was also good. However, the price of the kingfish seemed a bit high for the portion size.

Macaroni looks appealing, but it wasn’t very good. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Dumplings are good.

I will be back when in the area. I want to try their breakfast menu.

I had a potluck at my job for the upcoming holiday and I order a pan of curry chicken! Let’s just say I have zero to take home! The whole pan gone within minutes! Food is so good and season very well! Most visit!!!

Got here breakfast/lunch whatever. Only some salmon out and some stew chicken. Nothing else is ready. Just stood there for 10. Almost 15 minutes. Ended up leaving. Just not attentive man. No urgency. No putting out the food down. She told the guy to bring out the food but he's taking his time. I guess he don't like money.

I'm sure the food probably tastes good but guess what? I didn't get any. I didn't get any at all. I'm not going to rush you. I'm not going to beg you to take my money. It's not going to happen

I have been trying for weeks now to place an order via Uber or doordash. The pages are never updated. When I call to ask about a dish they say they do have it but why is it not showing on your site. I am always told that they will pass on the message to whoever is in charge but nothing ever happens. I do enjoy the food but I am unable to order nor am I mobile to go to said location. Very disappointing.

The food is old and sucks,there are too many roaches and they will rob you if your not careful by telling you one price up front and then charging you more make sure you have exact change. They had me fooled at first but not again i will not go back.

Price are a bit high. The sweet chili chicken portions used to be crispier. It was not crispy at all. I did not have enough rice.

Authentic Jamaican food. Most of the time, the food is usually extra spicy.

It's not good supporting people, I heard about this place, came out of my way 4 days a week to support them. But the regular girl wasn't there and this other lady had such a bad attitude ?. I just walked away and I'll never return.

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!
