I visited Jamaican Best on 204th Street and Hillside in Queens, NY today and ordered a large oxtail. Unfortunately, when I got home and opened the container, it was mostly bones. It felt like they had scraped the meat off every piece and left just the bones. This is quite frustrating, and I can't be the only person this has happened to. To top it off, they charged $30 for bones—unbelievable! The dish should be more accurately named "Ox Bone and Rice."

I bought cow foot soup. when I opened the container of soup the oil was sitting on the top of the soup. The soup was very oily which made me sick.

I’ve been a customer here for a long time and the food is great, as well as the service. Just wish there was a bit more. The lady who served me yesterday afternoon looks new so I didn’t get the portion of jerk chicken or oxtails I’d normally get. Other than that, I have no complaints.

The food is good but the lady is always mean to me but very kind to the men that come in. She makes me so uncomfortable. If you’re a female then don’t come here.

I don’t like the fact, they force you to buy a medium or large early in the morning for breakfast… what about those that can’t eat a lot of food early in the morning? There other places don’t force you to buy so much food in the morning time if you don’t want to.

I’m familiar with the culture of Jamaican restaurant staff, it’s often understood they aren’t the friendliest - even a little rude sometimes lol but what keeps you coming is the flavor and quality of the food. Without a doubt. In this case / the staff was beyond rude and not friendly with the food to match. if you’re gonna have an attitude that food and flavor betterrrrrr give top-tier. And in this case, I was extremely underwhelmed by the taste & choice of spices when it came to the oxtails with rice & peas. Unfortunately wont be coming here again. I’ll stick to Genesis #1
Any time I place an order via a delivery app I always leave details on how I would like my food but they never ever follow instructions. It’s disappointing to know you are spending money on something you crave but only to get the opposite you ask for .
