“Very flavorful food. The food here tastes home-cooked. It is well-seasoned and flavorful and well-prepared. We tried the king fish dinner - seasoned to perfection, excellent texture. We also tried the spinach patties. These were the best I’ve had in years - very flavorful spinach (nice bit of scotch bonnet) and it was not mushy or soggy. Nice spinach-to-crust ratio. The crust was very nice. Crispy and hearty with good flavor. Great customer service.“

“I was unfamiliar with this restaurant, but my husband received a gift card from his colleagues at his retirement party. We came for Valentine's Day and were very pleased with the choice! We started with Old Fashioned and Fried Green Tomatoes. Perfect batter and crunch. The bacon jam gave the perfect amount of bite. Mr. TSwi had fish (sorry - no photo). I had the garlic clove stuffed filet. It was fork-tender and so delicious. Potatoes fried in tallow butter were decadent. We had the Bread Pudding for dessert - and the leftover for breakfast Sunday morning. Overall, great value for the quality of the food. Not ridiculously expensive. Not ostentatious (TSwi wore jeans and a blazer and was well-dressed compared to others.) We will look forward to coming back again soon.“

“I recently visited Ripe Kitchen & Bar near the Bronx, and it turned out to be a really memorable dining experience. The restaurant has a warm, intimate atmosphere with dim lighting and a relaxed island vibe that makes the place feel cozy and unique.

The food focuses on authentic Jamaican and Caribbean flavors, and everything I tried was rich and satisfying. One of the standout dishes was the jerk ribeye steak, which is actually one of the restaurant’s most popular items. The seasoning had a great smoky jerk flavor that paired perfectly with the tender meat.

The drinks were also a highlight. Their rum punch and tropical cocktails complemented the food really well and added to the overall Caribbean atmosphere. The menu includes other favorites like oxtail, jerk chicken, and Rasta pasta, giving plenty of flavorful options to choose from.

Service felt friendly and relaxed, and the whole place had a lively neighborhood feel. Overall, Ripe Kitchen & Bar is a great spot if you’re looking for bold Caribbean cuisine, strong cocktails, and a laid-back island vibe just outside New York City. I’d definitely come back again.“

“The beautiful surroundings make dining more pleasurable. The dishes taste great, service flows smoothly, and everyone shows friendliness. The team creates an atmosphere where everyone belongs. This restaurant always exceeds my food expectations. I plan to eat here again and tell others about it.“

“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. ?“

“Large selection of good tasty foods
Good atmosphere , good service

Parking: Just drive around and look for parking.

Kid-friendliness: Friendly for your kids and friendly for everyone.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is!!“

“My husband loves getting breakfast here when he is going to work. The food taste delicious and the staff is very polite. They offer jamaican cuisine. You can get curry chicken back, jerk chicken, fish, goat, oxtail, rice and peas, white rice, boiled food/ ground provision, steamed and fresh veggies, baked goods, festival, fritters, soup and porridge. This morning I got steamed calaloo & saltfish with fried dumplings and plantains. Hubby got white rice and curry chicken back. The restaurant can get a little crowdy and you may have to wait a few minutes to be served, but it's worth the wait. Also there is no parking lot available but you can find parking on the street easily. They also sell freshly squeeze juice. Overall I highly recommend them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.“

“I visited The 6 for the first time last month, and I’ve been going back ever since—at least three times a week! My bartender, Dom, has been absolutely amazing to both me and my husband. Her contagious energy instantly makes the place feel warm and welcoming. Not only are her drinks always on point, but she’s also extremely attentive—constantly checking in to make sure we’re good and if there’s anything else we need. She truly goes above and beyond every time. This is by far the best place I’ve been to, and it’s all thanks to Dom!“

“This was my first time trying their food. I had the Curry Chicken lunch and dumplings (they were tasty after I reheated them). The CC, sweet plantain and cabbage were good! But I don't know why Jamaican restaurants only give you a table spoon of cabbage 😁. The rice was okay but a little dry even with gravy. The serve J. was nice!“

“We shared a GUACAMOLE with plantain chips. It was fresh and flavorful. I had the FAROE ISLAND SALMON. The salmon was flavorful and well done on the outside and moist on the inside. My husband enjoyed his medium CHURRASCO 14OZ. The drinks were strong 💪. I recommend this place. I enjoyed the old school salsa music.“

“Great food 🥘 Great staff. Always clean as well nice atmosphere“

“I came across this food joint while running some errands in the neighborhood. It is beyond my expectations from a small take-out like place. The food is really delicious, flavorful! You can see the open kitchen in the back and it’s clean. The staff is also very friendly to give recommendations since I am not familiar with Jamaican food. I am still thinking about the food after 6 hours! It’s just so delicious! I may have to come back to the Bronx again just for this!“

“the food is always great, never disappointed.“

“I came here twice and I must say that the curry goat and fried chicken is the best. I order a medium curry goat with white rice and a side of fried chicken. 10/10. But for $26?! The issue is that you can’t really get what you want. Hear me out for example… you can’t get a small order of oxtail….like?! You can only get a medium size with a side. It’s overpriced. Just by looking at it I can tell it’s not even worth the price. Also if you get like a medium size meal with any meat and rice you can’t get it with plantain. It’s extra charge. BUT I WILL SAY THAT THE PORTION IS WORTH IT. THEY GIVE MORE. I’ve tried the Mac and cheese and it was baaaadd. Just cheese and unseasoned roux. That’s if they use roux. It’s oily and you can’t even see or smell a spec of seasoning. Taste like a sweet treat no shade. The fried chicken though I give that 15/10. Tastes better than Kennedys. The goat meat falls off the bonnnneeee. The rice is perfect; not too mushy and not too rough. I’m on my way there right now😂😂. Is it worth trying? Hell yeah. The Mac and cheese though.. that’s to your advantage.“

“Really good food! Would recommend and return! Friendly staff too! 5 stars!“

“I saw that one review from the person saying their oxtail was bad, but saw a plethora of positive reviews standing against it. I decided to give them a go and do NOT regret it! Lovely little spot for a late night meal! The cashier was very pleasant with a great attitude. I came by after finding my Airbnb and ordered 3 empanadas: Jerk Chicken, Salmon, & Oxtail. This is not a standard menu option, but she told me I could mix and match :)

I loved it!!! WONDERFULLY tasty food and a perfect crisp to the empanadas - not too hard and not too soft/mushy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“I just would like to say I love this restaurant so much everything is always so flavorful and worth the money. To anyone who reads any negative reviews about the owner PLEASE do not listen to that. He is a kind man and I see a few reviews of people saying he’s rude and miserable and that is Not true at all. Wonderful food and service. I will be back with my food pics ?“

“good music 🎶 excellent crowd on point“

“I've been trying to get here for some time now and all I can say is that it was definitely worth the wait. The oxtail empanada.....BEYOND AMAZING!!!!! The pepper shrimp and chow mean to die for. I will most definitely be back. Can't wait for the summer time to roll back around so I can try their famous soursop and passion fruit slushies.“

“Another little gem in NYC, the service and staff is very warm and friendly. It's like they're inviting you into their home. There was a dj that played music to get you dancing, it was a little loud but we didn't mind it being that we don't go out often. The food is pricey but very good quality and the presentation is amazing from the drinks down to the food. Make sure to show this place some love.“

“Very delightful the workers are full of joy and love Godbless them and the food smell so great. I never ate here before ....coming from the mountains of PA ...shoot this is A blessing????????????I'm here right now dead serious... yoo yall should come ????come eat!“

“Fresh food, great prices, big portions.Empanadas anywhere in the BX are $2-$2.50. here they are $1. Everything here was priced more affordably compared to any of the other Dominican spots on 138th street and in the neighborhood. Big plates. Also, they cater to the blue collar crowd. Lunch food is ready by 9:30AM. Perfect lunch spot if you're a city worker, construction, etc.“

“Our go to restaurant for special occasions and just because! We always have fantastic service, amazing hurricanes (deluxe, of course) delicious food and the perfect ambiance for a fun night out. We have loved Big Daddy's for years. It NEVER disappoints.“

“I love and support Cravin resturant because its authentic and I myself am Jamaican. However the service is slow and the ladies ringing people up are young and dont seem to want to work there. There was 2 people in the whole place when I went and waited nearly 10 minutes to just ask if they had something and waited again as one girl bagged and the other chatted. In all I left without getting food because I refused to wait any longer just to order... This is an in and out City and the service should match. I will still go to this place...but i will order ahead and hopefully my experience will be different“

“Great food & the service is great ....Waiters are always smiling...Great atmosphere“

“At the moment you arrive in this restaurant team give you a pleasant feeling. Very comfortable waiters, it is a kind place to pass time with friends or with your date. very good meals, qualified chief cook and stuff, honest pay and excellent service. Warmly recommended.“

“**Review for Les Q**

I have been a loyal customer of Les Q for the past 4.5 years, and my experience has been consistently outstanding. The owner, Howie, truly sets this place apart with his warm hospitality and dedication to excellence. The staff at Les Q is equally amazing, always attentive and friendly, making every visit a pleasure.

The food at Les Q is consistently good, which is a rarity in many places. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you can always expect delicious, well-prepared dishes. The menu offers a great variety, and everything I've tried has been top-notch.

Overall, Les Q is a gem of a restaurant, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking good food. Kudos to Howie and his fantastic team for their exceptional service and culinary consistency!“

“I’ve been coming here recently and love their creative food options. The staff is very kind. I like that they offer samples to customers. The oxtail Mac and cheese egg rolls are a hit as well as the oxtail smash burger. Their chicken soup is also delicious too!“

“The hot patties are very good! The Farmer, 👏“

“My sister, aunt and I visited this restaurant on a visit to the nearby hospital. Every dish we selected was incredibly delicious. Nothing was over or under seasoned—just perfect. The restaurant was extremely clean and the employees were pleasant.“

“First of all I would like to say please people check out this cousin and make your order your missing out on the best jamaican/caribbean cousins....her cooking is second to none...please check it out“

“This food was really really good and the staff were very respectful towards me, I almost never have Jamaican food on my own, and picked this up on my way to work after school and this was DA BOMB!! I even asked them to surprise me, and they delivered with the oxtail, rice and peas, and plantains.“

“Wanted to take some time to show my appreciation. My family and I were very pleased with our selection of this establishment for our repast service for my mother. The owner was very accommodating in short notice. The buffet that was laid out was just what we ordered. Place was very clean and the service from the staff was amazing. Really can’t say enough about that part. From the picking up of finished plates, them coming around with multiple fruit options, opening up for us 20 mins early so we weren’t in the blazing sun, and the show of support in our time of grieving. Tonia thank you for going above and beyond. 5 stars for sure. Once again my family and I humbly thank you.“

“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.“

“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 .“
