“This place has amazing Jamaican food! We have tried the mild beef patties, oxtail, jerk chicken and chicken curry. The meals come with a cabbage- vegetable blend and fried plantains. The owner gives so much food and is very friendly, but the food is so flavorful, hot and delicious! We come back here a few times a month. I especially recommend the oxtail- it’s like a party in your mouth with all the delicious spices!“

“I went in expecting dinner. I left questioning the very concept of reality.

First, the building itself seems to have been constructed in a parallel universe where architects hate humans. The walls were misaligned, the ceiling sagged like it was mourning, and a single, flickering light overhead created shadows that seemed to whisper, “Why are you here?” The entrance mat was sticky—like a portal designed to trap souls. My shoes protested violently as I stepped on it, and I briefly considered amputating my feet just to escape the adhesive horror.

Once inside, the air assaulted me. It smelled like wet newspapers left in a closet with a single shoe and the faint regret of a thousand broken dreams. My lungs burned, my sinuses flared, and I swear I could hear the air itself groaning in despair. A ceiling fan rotated at the speed of glacial movement, stirring despair into the already tragic atmosphere.

I sat down on a chair that had clearly been passed down from the Stone Age. When I shifted my weight, it emitted a series of sounds—cracks, pops, groans—that could be interpreted as a complex language of suffering. The table wobbled like it was testing my patience. There were stains on the surface in patterns reminiscent of ancient constellations—but instead of stars, they were old spaghetti sauce.

The menu looked like it had been printed during a war. Pages were torn, faded, damp, and one was inexplicably sticky with something I refused to identify. The handwriting of the specials appeared to have been scrawled by a frenzied raccoon in a creative rage. Dishes included “Mystery Meat Surprise,” “Something That Probably Was Once Food,” and “Chef’s Emotional Breakdown Platter.”

I chose the safest item: soup. The bowl arrived lukewarm. The liquid quivered as if it had consciousness, and the aroma was simultaneously pungent, metallic, and vaguely apologetic. I took a sip and experienced a flavor so complex that my brain short-circuited: notes of sadness, despair, and wet cardboard intermingled with a hint of existential dread. I pushed the bowl away and wept quietly into my napkin.

Attempting to use the bathroom was another saga. The door would not open without a Herculean effort. The floor was sticky. The sink produced a trickle that sounded like a dying animal. The mirror was scratched and fogged, making me look like a character from a psychological horror movie. The toilet barely functioned. I am certain the plumbing was designed as a social experiment in futility.

The staff, when they appeared, moved as if they were in slow motion, trapped in a parallel reality where human interaction was optional. Asking for water took fifteen minutes. Asking for the check took twenty-three. My existence was tested. My patience was burned to ash.

When finally escaping, I felt sunlight as if it were a spiritual intervention. Birds chirped in joy. I collapsed on the sidewalk, grateful to be back in the real world.

If this place were a movie, it would be “The Neverending Nightmare: Restaurant Edition.”
If it were a natural disaster, it would be on the Richter scale of 12.
If it were a lesson, it would be “How to Permanently Question All Life Choices.”“

“Here my new way of trying out new restaurants, use an app for food “Too good to let go”
Food is good. I haven’t been here for a long time. I been going to G’s for 20+ years. Amazing food. The owner is very nice. One of the lady staff need some lessons on costumer service.“

“The food and the experience are amazing. Can’t wait to come again.“

“Place is very clean, the food does taste good, you only have to watch out for the amount you take it goes by weight. Overall, I like the food here, its buffet style most things are weighted by the pound.“

“HMG this place is the best night cap food shop to stop this place remind me back in Jamaica the dumpling shop on Waltham Park road east road where you could get your breakfast on your way to work in the morning have to go back to eat fry roast breadfruit and ackee and salt fish ......“

“Customer service was great over the phone. Amazing food. I ordered delivery (I didn’t do Uber eats, just called because I wanted the restaurant to receive 100% of the profit) and it came quick. I received a medium oxtail with macaroni and cheese. I would’ve taken a photo but it looked too good not to take a bite. I wish I got more oxtail because it was delicious!! The Mac and cheese was amazing — perfectly cheesy. I can’t wait to come back for more of their food options like the stew meat or even the banana bread (and tell everyone I know obviously)!

Edit: I got more food the next day! The stew chicken was as delicious as I hoped it would be alongside that AMAZING curry goat. The curry goat tasted like heaven — it tastes fresh off the island! The curry chicken was also very good and I got a great portion of everything. The standout had to be the beef patty which was the BEST Jamaican beef patty I’ve ever had. Now I got to buy one with every order!! I thought the bulla had a beautiful sweet spice to it. Perfect for any meal. Everyone I knew wanted a bite of the curry spiced bread as well. My sister said she’s going to order here everyday if she can ?. Overall, everything was perfect and I am glad there’s more yummy places to eat in this neighbourhood.

I’ve missed eating things like this (that actually taste good) and they really made my day.“

“On any given SUNDAY you can find me at G&M picking up my FAVORITE platter of curry goat with rice and peas ? . Miss Janet is always there to greet you with her wonderful smile and world class CUSTOM SERVICE!! Plenty of options to choose from even for VEGETARIANS.
I’ve been frequenting this West Indian restaurant since I first moved to Rosedale 2 years ago and it’s been nothing but spectacular !! Hands down my FAVORITE local restaurant in Queens????“

“I Love the food especially the Mac & Cheese and j*** pork, the fried chicken is totally awesome, I go and get something different every time but my favorite is definitely the j*** pork and Mac and cheese. I would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to enjoy some great food. Visit D&C Island J*** at 201-05 Linden Blvd, ST Albans NY“

“So don't tell the folks at tropical jerk that I found you guys...

They

Sorry but not every one controls the scotch bonnet“

“i eat almost every dish that they prepare an i have no complain every thing was delicious thats my favorite jamaican restaurant“

“Very good food. The 2 ladies were very nice polite and gave me fast service. The reviews are very misleading. Best food in the neighborhood. Oxtails tender and very good price and amount of food. Update I went back twice the stewed chicken is dry and then the plate of oxtails was not the same size lots of rice little meat. They were still nice but I decided not to make this a reg place I eat“

“If you are looking for some AUTHENTIC flavorful Jamaican food. This is the SPOT! I ordered some oxtails, jerk chicken, cabbage, plantains with rice and peas. I was not disappointed. The oxtail was flavorful and falling off the bone. I also loved the jerk sauce they had on the chicken. Most importantly, the portion is hefty! The food reminded me of home. I will DEFINITELY return!“

“I enjoyed a truly delicious breakfast today featuring perfectly cooked Ackee and Saltfish, accompanied by tender green banana, yam, and dumplings. Each component was boiled to perfection, making the meal both hearty and satisfying. The Ackee and Saltfish was seasoned just right, with a balanced touch of pepper and spices that elevated the flavors without overpowering them. To complement the meal, I had a refreshing bottle of water. All of this came at a very reasonable price of $19, offering great value for a flavourful and wholesome start to the day!“

“great location good pub food music on the weekends“

“Food was great we ordered the fry chicken with rice and peas and salad. We originally wanted B-B fry but there was none . We got mild beef , ackee , vegetable and chicken patties as well. They were a little small and needed some more filling but they were tasty.“

“Yah Suh Nyce - A True Taste of Jamaica Right by the Station

If you're looking for authentic Jamaican flavors with convenience and variety, Yah Suh Nyce hits the spot. Conveniently located right across from Jamaica Station, it’s perfect for a quick stop whether you're on your commute or exploring the area.

What really sets this place apart is the buffet sold by the pound concept. You get to pick exactly what you want from a wide range of classic Jamaican dishes—everything from jerk chicken, curry goat, oxtail, to flavorful rice & peas, steamed veggies, and more. The portions are generous, the flavors are on point, and you’re in control of how much you get, which is great for trying a little of everything.

It’s casual, fast, and full of flavor—definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and craving some solid Caribbean comfort food.“

“I order from here on Grubhub and absolutely LOVE the oxtail, mango lemonade, and the fried shrimp. The food is tasty and the portions are good. I've never had an issue with my orders. The oxtail literally falls off the bone and the rice and peas is tasty on it's own. There's enough food to eat from it twice is you have a smaller appetite.“

“Amazing food, drinks and customer service.“

“Absolutely love Jamrock Jerk!! The people working the truck are always friendly. The food is delicious and I especially love their rice and gravy. My favorite platter is the pork platter and the oxtail, if you can catch them before they sell out for the day.“

“I had the best Thanksgiving Dinner once again this year.. last year was my introduction, and this year they out did themselves. The best jerk Fry turkey in the world. Tender, tasty, properly cooked. If mom liked it, you know it's good. The service was impeccable, timely, and professional. Everything was fresh , including the wonderful sweet potato jamaica 🇯🇲 pudding, loved 😋 it. thank you jT&J for making my Thanksgiving A Success“

“I have never visited this place but I always order their jerk chicken and festivals through Ubereats and I must say it is THE BEST hands down. Try it you won't regret 😊“

“I ordered the Jerk pasta and some Mac & Cheese and it was absolutely delicious.“

“Love coming here to pick up my jerk chicken meal. It’s the bomb!“
