“fine dining at its best 👌“

“My mom's been raving about this spot, so it was our first stop in town! The decor is impeccable with beautiful, meaningful details, and the vibe is EVERYTHING. I love that they have high chairs for toddlers—many upscale places miss that mark. Our server Jerome was so helpful, and Matthew was super kind when we chatted. We tried the Montego Bay, Hugp Spritz, Rum Punch, and Island Float, and all the drinks were a 10/10! The food was also really good. I wasn't a huge fan of the trio tacos because there was minimal fried shrimp and I didn't like the plantain just sitting on top, but the flavor was amazing nonetheless, just needed more shrimp. The coconut shrimp were a 10/10, and the plantain cups are really good, they just need to be filled more.“

“I absolutely love love love this restaurant. I literally cannot stay away. it’s also right across the street from the gym so i almost always stop by. i get the brown stew chicken & it tastes so good i can’t help but come back for more. Rashida helped me today and she was very nice—made it hefty, love it when they make it hefty.“

“Xavier went above and beyond to help me because I am vegan! Im so grateful because I was alittle worried if it would be easy to order here. Thanks Xavier for making my life easier as soon as I stepped in the door!!! I will definitely recommend others!“

“food is bussing!!!. love the customer service 👌“

“Food was Amazing location is great weather on perfect day definitely feel like I’m back home inside is also spectacular dining area“

“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.“

“The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. My favorite dish is the steamed snapper,it’s consistently delicious and one of the best I’ve had. The tacos are also excellent and definitely worth ordering.

The service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. If you’re looking for fresh Caribbean-inspired food with great quality and consistency, I highly recommend giving Ripe Kitchen & Bar a try.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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 honestly had walked in for some drinks , but the food looked so good i had to get a medium pepper steak & first off , the portions ?? huge !!! the pepper steak was flavorful & tender & i like how they cooked the white rice , i would definitely eat here again , a meal & 3 drinks for only $21.50 ??? thats a deal in nyc !!“

“We recently celebrated my daughter’s Sweet 16 at Caribbean Vybz Ranch, and it was truly an amazing experience from beginning to end.
Every time I visited, the staff gave me their undivided attention and went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. Their dedication, patience, and professionalism made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable.

The owner is absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she was attentive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure my daughter’s special day was everything we envisioned and more. Their warmth and dedication made us feel like family.

The food was absolutely exquisite! My personal favorite was the oxtail, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Every dish was flavorful and prepared with care.

The atmosphere feels like home warm, welcoming, and filled with genuine Caribbean hospitality. If you’re looking for authentic Caribbean cuisine and a venue that treats you like family, I highly recommend Caribbean Vybz Ranch for both dining and special events. Thank you for helping make my daughter’s Sweet 16 such a memorable and beautiful celebration!“

“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. 🍱 However, improvement is needed via the phone line, it can be quite challenging.“

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

“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.“

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

“Went and met the owner and her husband beautiful people. You can literally smell the goodness of the food and the love of the people which is a beautiful thing and you don’t get often and I finally had curry goat, and it was amazing. I even bought a whole dinner meal once I tried one piece of it beautiful beautiful cooking you must try it.“

“the food is always great, never disappointed.“

“Great little local spot I found on my FB timeline feed and decided to go myself for the Wednesday happy hour. I got the calamari spicy wings and coconut margarita. The wings were a little tough but very spicy the ranch dressing is definitely needed. The calamari was delicious fried to perfection with good sauce on the side, just wish they added lemon wedge. The coconut margarita was tasty with a nice buzz.“

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

“This was my first time at this spot and I did enjoy the sandwich I ordered. It was the Masala Chicken sandwich. It was so good and seasoned. The unlimited mimosas were great too. The waitress was so friendly and attentive. I would go back for the sandwich and boozy 90 drinks“

“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“

“Food is absolutely delicious!!! Need catering? Inquire about special entrees. Food never disappoints. The best Guyanese restaurant food I've had. They also have fresh tennis rolls, pine tarts, solara & cheese rolls. Jerk chicken empanadas are amazing!!! Order ahead cuz they do get busy! Take out only. They do have a sitting area if you want to sit and eat, but not an early in restaurant.“

“Came here for a nice graduation dinner with family. The food,atmosohere ,and service was top notch. Our waiter Joshua took care of us and made sure were good with everything. Johsua service was amazing. I will return again 5 stars for this place.“

“1st time here 2.28.26 definitely will be back when we come back to nyc wow food was delicious not salty just tasty had the rasta pasta cabbage jerk chicken curry goat curry chicken 😋 both workers were very nice and also big portions worth the money 💰 🇯🇲“

“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.“

“Despite its compact size, the establishment exudes a sense of cleanliness and coziness. The service was impeccable, with the server demonstrating exceptional attentiveness. The culinary offerings were exceptional, characterized by their exceptional taste and quality. The flavors were reminiscent of homemade cuisine, which left a lasting impression. I highly recommend this establishment and intend to return for future visits.“

“Everyone wants a great service and a taste to remember meal that is worth it. This restaurant goes above their pleasant smiles and warm welcome during their customers interaction. They serve the food with pride always serving portion above the rest. This restaurant is top notch and continuously contribute to our sense of community.“

“Entered, menu was very visible, the guy in the front was extremely respectful and straight forward, the place was room temp and pretty comfy, the rice was rlly good, the mac & cheese was incredible. The only thing was the oxtail lacked some flavor but still tender and enjoyable.“

“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.“

“Xavier went above and beyond to help me because I am vegan! Im so grateful because I was alittle worried if it would be easy to order here. Thanks Xavier for making my life easier as soon as I stepped in the door!!! I will definitely recommend others!“

“Went here because a restaurant we usually visit was closed 40 minutes before it’s closing time. Never been here and didn’t hear from anyone, just saw the reviews, I was close by and so what the hec, I decided to give it a try. Wow! Did not disappoint!! Ordered a large oxtails with rice & peas, unfortunately they were out of sweet plantains but the food was Deeeelicious! Yum, The rest of the food on dispuslso looked good. Yum! Great spot and service was superb. If you’re in the area or just want some slamming Jamaican food, stop at Flamez and enjoy! You’re welcome lol

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.“
