“The place is nice and the food is pretty good. The issue remains the same, the restaurant space is compact. Perhaps better in the summer time if there is outdoor space to help with seating etc. Overall, I had a great time, the music was lively and the energy of the staff and DJ was refreshing. I didn't like the fact that you don't get an actual receipt while dining at the tables (you do get one at the bar). So it's difficult to analyze what you're being charged. The fact that gratuity was included was not disclosed so you could tip twice if that wasn't your intention.“
“Love it here! My husband and I have been twice since discovering it a month ago. The food is really good. We’ve tried the curry goat, curry chicken, jerk chicken, and stew chicken so far. My favorite dish has to be the jerk chicken plantain cups. We also tried the culture clash and the rum punch which were both great drinks.The owner (Mo) is awesome, he’s such a friendly guy and we were engaged in conversation with him the whole time we were there on our first visit. He has great experiences to share if you have the time.“
“I called the restaurant today on my daughter’s birthday (2/26/24) to ask for a table for 5 people including two children. I was told there’s not enough seating for everyone but they would gladly accommodate us at the event space next door. I agreed. My family arrived at around 6 and the two ladies took our order and Yvonne took a few minutes to prepare the table for us. When she led us into the room we were so delighted and astounded! The place was so beautifully decorated, and she managed it in a very short time! All the food was delicious! She made my daughter feel so special, she danced with the girls and helped cut the cake! I was very lucky and blessed to have been given this wonderful memory! It was such a pleasure to meet Yvonne, she is so sweet and has such a good heart! I will definitely be back again soon!Dietary restrictions: Totally Vegan and plant based menu.Kid-friendliness: Yvonne was so sweet with my girls.“
“If you are looking for amazing Jamaican food AND outstanding customer service, look no further! The owner only sells quality food and it is a family owned business. Amoya (hope I spelled it right) is mostly there serving the food whenever I go and she is an absolute pleasure to interact with. I can honestly say they serve their food with LOVE and GRACE. Money spent here is money well spent.“
“Omg one of the best customer service experience I have ever experienced in a HAITIAN restaurant. USUALLY I don’t like going into haitian stores because of the rudeness , but not this place, I was greeted by pops who took my order and he was just a breath of fresh air ,and amazing , great conversation , I would have ended up buying everything there if I stayed any longer lol ..he wanted me to taste everything .. from KREMAS to a taste of his macaroni .. he wanted me to try everything lol ? .. I Bought some patties and a fish lunch special .. it’s an amazing thing to have a lunch special and still get great quality food .. small fish for 20 dollars was a really good price came with rice and plantain. I love the little piece of lemon they had with my fish , it says they pay attention to little details, even with a lunch special.. my patties were properly coded since I bought a variety of different kinds. I GIVE THEM 10 starts .. food quality was great and flavorful as well. .. can’t post fish pic because by the time I wrote this review I devoured the fish lol.. sorry.“
“Best doubles and aloo pie I’ve had in New York. Very fast and friendly staff… restaurant is very neat and clean and the owner Mike is very friendly and accommodating…. Definitely worth trying I drive 30 minutes especially to come to this spot and suprisingly was very cheap for 2 doubles and aloo pie with channa and a mango juice was around 10 bucks. Definitely will be my goto spot for budget friendly snack…. Thanks for the great service…Vegetarian options: Big variety of vegetarian dishesKid-friendliness: I didn’t see or bring kids with me but definitely family friendly“
“I took a bite of my jerk chicken and I can feel the love in the food! wow it’s absolutely delicious. I had the jerk chicken, rice and peas, and plantains. I will be absolutely coming here again. I’m putting this place into my permanent rotation!“
“Recently tried some jerk chicken from here. It was so flavorful and full of spice! The workers were very pleasant and also gave me a sample dish of some other food they serve to try out which was their chicken chow mein, oxtail, cook up rice and fried chicken. Everything was Amazing!!! I definitely recommend here!“
“The staff and owners were friendly and engaging and happy to help us decide what to order. We were treated like family even though we were visiting for the first time.I had the whole snapper with creole sauce and black rice and my wife had the chicken with creole sauce and yellow rice with peas. Starting with a huge fresh salad that we shared and ending with a complimentary slice or two of traditional cake, every part of the meal was a delicious treat.The whole red snapper was cooked to perfection with herbs and thinly sliced peppers and onions and floating in a plateful of rich, fragrant sauce. The rice was piled high on its own plate and served with fried plantains. It was all accompanied by a small side bowl of spicy-hot relish made with pickled cabbage and scotch bonnet peppers. The chicken my wife had was tender and juicy and served with the same creole sauce.The food was absolutely delicious and what made it more special was the obvious care and love that went into the preparation and welcoming way that it was served. When people really care about their food and share it genuinely and generously, it draws you in and brings real happiness.Thanks so much for a perfect meal!“
“The food is soooooo good! Like you think you have your favorite Haitian restaurant, then you try Belle Fourchette! The tassot is the greatest I've ever had \\u0026 I'm not a fried food person. Amazing! Every compliment to the chef!“
“Ok so, this is gonna be long. Ok so I'm a Jamaican and usually stay away from Jamaican restaurants because lately they seem to be cutting corners. I'm a chef and from the old school of real Jamaican cuisine. That being said, the food here has flavor, some dishes are way better than others. The thing I don't like, is the outrageous prices for such small plates. I get it, people gotta make money but when you give your customers a little more, they come back often. Also, the waitress is nice but need training on timing. Bring utensils first and if its a couple, bring both meals together, not bring one plate then 10 minutes later you bring the other.. I like the mature Reggae music played while eating on Friday evening. Oh a live band at 10pm but different genre of music so could be socca , reggae or whatever . I prefer the reggae band. Now after the band finished, the DJ ticked me off. I hate when him cut upp the music after 5 seconds. People were upset about that. Dj could be ok but have no clue how to watch the floor. If see mature people, run the music n stop the cutting up and play the song Dem. Chu man. Me vex and leff. Hellooooooo. adults spend money suh if music nice people wi spend cause Dem dance and sweat. Ok so, i went into details n hopefully the owner reads this and edit as necessary cause my presence can expand your establishment if you listen. Great location , with some adjustments this place could sell aff. I do this for a living, go into businesses, assess whats , great and what needs adjustments and make suggestions. Get it done !! Place can be better and a winner with some twerks Good luck!!?“
“You looking for a Caribbean spot, check out 12.6. I had such an amazing time.. The place looks good. I came in after work on a Friday with a couple of friends. The bartender omg ...Super friendly and the drinks.. let me tell you, yes it definitely was a punching. The food was great the jerk snapper and jerk salmon pasta, fried shrimp, calamari, wings and the rum punch , yesssss......Definitely visit this place. Big shout out to the Bartender Shorn for providing excellent service.“
“If it's one thing I appreciate from this place is the portions. Now a days it's hard to find good homemade type food for a decent price. But at Uncle Don's they don't skimp out. I love the sweet plantains. Rice and peas was a bit dry but the flavor is still there. Jerk chicken has flavor without overpowering everything else. The Spicy Beef Patty uff.. my favorite. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a great establishment for this community. It brings good & delicious carribean food to this part of Long Island. I highly recommend this spot“
“We met for a birthday bite at West Bar and Lounge. Don't let the location fool you. It may not be as lucrative as dining in Soho, but it's still a great neighborhood, and it's quite easy to get there.When you first walk in, it's dimly lit, so don't complain. Your eyes will adjust. We went in a few minutes after it opened, so you'll catch the staff still prepping for the day.We were greeted by a waitress and seated. We ordered our drinks (they were great! I recommend the hurricane) while we viewed the menu. We decided on the crab dip with chips and crab legs for appetizers. For the main course, we ordered ribeye steak with smashed? (mashed) potatoes and broccoli and lamb chops with wild rice and asparagus, and a side of Mac cheese. Believe me when I tell you, the food was absolutely delicious ?. Every morsel was a delightful bite.Thank you to our waitress for great service. The bartender for outstanding drinks and the chef for the amazing food.“
“10/10 experience overall. The woman that served me was so kind and patient. I didn't expect anything less. Only heard great things about this place. The oxtail mac patty is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. The combination of everything is mindblowing. Best oxtail I've ever tasted. The buttahflap that encloses the patty, macaroni & cheese, and oxtail is the best finishing touch. All these flavors. Crazy! The place itself is cozy and unique. I love the colorful artwork on the side of the building. Will be back again and again!“
“The food is delicious. I got a combo plate of oxtails,Curry goat and j*** chicken side of mac and cheese and ordered my mama oxtail dinner the food is very good and they give you a lot for your money. I wish they had plantains and dumplings.“
“WHAT AN ABSOLUTE GEM! This place is definitely my new favorite place yet. I stumbled upon this restaurant randomly and I'm so glad that i did. The food is 10/10 - seasoned to perfection, tender and delicious jerk chicken. The Rasta pasta was very tasty and the jerk shrimp omg, super yummy. rice was soft and tasty and the salad was a perfect addition to the dish. The service was 10/10 - the gentlemen was helpful and told us to go online to look at the menu and he ended up being the chef as well, this place is made to order so if you're in a rush I'd place my order before hand, if not enjoy the Freeport views and other restaurants and then come back for your food. Thank you sir for the delicious food!!! The ambiance is 5/10 - It is your typical hole in the wall shack type of location, no real ambiance to it, food is too go. They didn't offer any outdoor seating, so no real ambiance besides an open kitchen that looks really well kept and clean. If you're ever in Freeport - nautical mile. I would highly recommend this place!! You won't be disappointed.“
“It was a Birthday celebration and the owner tended to us personally. She was so attentive and made our visit a true pleasure. The curry oxtails is one of the signature dishes and it did not disappoint. I was in the mood for steak, and I'm so glad I was. Our party had different dishes like the Elmont pasta (a play on Rasta Pasta), traditional oxtails, and of course my steak. It was my first time and the vibe was nice, the decor was soothing and the music created a nice ambiance for a wonderful evening. I'll be back.“
“Everything was a 10/10Literally the rum punch kept going my glass was never empty…so when they say bottomless believe that lol…I went with my cousins and aunt, we dinned on the rooftop and best believe we’ll be back more frequently for “
“The jerk pork is SO good! The best around. The mac and cheese could use a little more seasoning but is good too. It's more similar to black american baked mac and cheese than what you normally get at Jamaican spots (which is a good thing imo).“
“The trick with this place is you have to catch them around lunch time when that jerk chicken comes right off the grill and ask for the extra sauces on the side to take this experience to the ultimate level yummy! Also just a heads up they make great soups as well I've tried the chicken soup and others as well great on a cold day to help warm you up on the insides! Last but not least the jerk pork is where it's at as a nice side to your Oder to add a little more flavor and variety to your dish enjoy!“
“From the conversation on the phone with Shamar to the bartending staff, Michael and Andre, whom all were very accommodating. Thanks for making delicious food and keeping "the door" open later. It's very authentic, and we will be coming back often. Cheers!“
“They did not have what I order but called and still fulfilled our order. I wish I took a picture of the food! Ordered the boneless jerk chicken, oxtail, rice&peas & Mac and it was delicious. Got sweet sauce and oxtail sauce on the rice. Tropical juices good too. Will order again!“
“My friend held a Christing after party at island fusion today 9/16/23. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The food was amazing the Mac n cheese boom all the food was so good would recommend this restaurant. Thank you guys for your amazing “
“Stopped in here 2 days in a row. I'm a contractor doing a job in the area. Day one I had curry goat and rice and peas it was absolutely phenomenal. Day 2 I had j*** chicken with rice and peas and it was delicious. I will definitely go out of my way to get food from here it's delicious and authentic.“
“Went here to start off my birthday weekend and I received the VIP treatment! The owner came out and introduced his self and mingled with my friends and I. The music was nostalgic and at a certain point a DJ came out. The server was so sweet, patient and helpful when it came to the menu selections. Will definitely come back“
“I always shop here but i never had any of the cooked food until today .Tried Curry Goat with white rice i noticed it had carrot so immediately started to hate on it tried it and it was very good .#1 It was not greasy #2 it was not salty #3 meat was not fladgy and inedible ??Sorrel so good ..fuzzysjamaicankitchkatch“
“Awesome restaurant!! The hostess Destiny was so warm and welcoming. I entered the restaurant frustrated about my day. Destiny was so sweet and professional and helped me calm down. My experience here turned my day around. The service, the drinks, the food was excellent!!!Our server Lonnie was prompt, patient, personable and she did a really sweet birthday treat. Highly recommend this restaurant!!Wheelchair accessibility: They had a removable ramp available for wheelchair access“
“Prob the best food in the mall. They don't get big lines here but that's because most of the people that shop here are Caribbean and they make their own food at home.For people like me this place is phenomenal. Average price from most Jamaican spots. They ran out of plantains and they replaced it with Mac n cheese and then covered it with ox tail gravy... Need I say more?“
“this is easily the best jerk chicken plate in rockaway, and it’s not even close. i ordered 5 jerk chicken dinners plus some sides, and the very helpful young man working hooked me up with great service, which is RARE in far rockaway. my whole order was ready in a couple of minutes, and mind you, he was getting fresh chicken right off the grill and chopping it up. the macaroni and cheese was perfect, not too cheesy and nicely seasoned, the rice and peas were cooked on point. honestly, just go get the food, you won’t regret it. hell, i’m about to go get lunch from there ? very good food that’s worth your money is gonna do it every single time!“
“This spot is popping in the warmer months with live band Caribbean and DJ playing the top hiphop and genres of music. Food is good too. Burgers, fries, wings, chicken meals really most of the menu is great for that outdoor beach day. Their rum punch is great?? and they also serve fresh coconuts. Overall always a vibe there with onlookers dancing outside. Really one of the best summer spots on the boardwalk.“
“I absolutely adore this restaurant and the food is just delicious! The brown stew king fish is my go to. I will say though, I just went there yesterday and everyone I was with asked for extra gravy and were told sure, as usual...there wasn't any extra gravy or almost any gravy when we began to eat our food. Also, for some reason, the cabbage was only sprinkled on top in on area. I haven't seen that before and didn't like that I was only able to enjoy two fork fills of cabbage. May next time be better because I will be back. Still great food, just need to check my food before leaving.“
“This is definitely a good jamaican restaurant. You can get a whole meal for $7.00 oxtails rice and peas with plantains ,not bad.and the wait isn't long at all. Not to mention the young lady that works there customer service was pleasant.don't for get there pineapple sodas, jamaican style.“
“If you're staying at the Fairfield Inn at JFK Airport before a flight out of JFK, do yourself a favor and walk the block to Devine Bickles and get dinner. SO GOOD! Huge portions, friendly service, and the price is right! We got one order of jerk chicken with chicken gravy, peas and rice, and veg -- and a beef patty. More than eno0ugh to feed 2 people. Thank you, Yelpers, for leaving such good reviews so we could find this place!“
“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“
“OK! I understand us as black folks suck at customer service but that food was so gooood no lies. I pass this place all the time but never gave them a chance because it just doesn’t look clean ?. But I was hungry late one night y’all and it was either them or their competition next door. I got the fried fish and shrimp combo with seasoned fries, I paid about $17 if I’m not mistaken. Everything was just hitting! I was cleaning out the tartar sauce container with some fries. I’ll be back“
“Good place to get some delicious food. J*** chicken with rice and peas was very delicious but be a little cautious with finding a few chopped bone pieces. Shrimp and chicken patties were delicious and flavorful too, with a very flaky crust. Friendly staff.“
“Patties are amazing. Light, flavorful and seasoned to perfection. But it doesn't stop there.....the freshly made bread is the show stopper. I gladly take my 20 minute drive to pick up loaves (yes loaves, more than 1) of bread. Owners are also so friendly and inviting. My favorite bakery!!“
“Visited with a party of 10 for a birthday dinner staff was very attentive and quick with the service. Prior to going I had been in contact with Omar who took care of everything for me. Food was great drinks very good and music was very good.“
