“awesome place to eat very clean“

“We always order using delivery apps though wanted to come in for the full experience. SO GLAD WE DID. First off, this has to be one of the cleanest restaurants I have ever been in. That made me feel really happy. Now to the food! Came for the Taco Tuesday Special and so happy we did. We came very late in the evening so we missed the jerk chicken tacos though I was not disappointed in the jerk beef tacos. Such a great deal and it was delicious. These were the full size tacos, not the minis. Run don’t walk as I’m sure this deal wont last. We also ordered the fried fish and grits , we paid for extra for more fish and so goad we did. I didn’t expect a carribean place to be my new go to fish spot but here we are! We ordered the collard greens which were a little different than the southern style I’m accustomed to though had a spice to kick it up.

Friendly staff and very welcoming. They offered us samples of their new fresh made sea moss which was delicious and we grabbed more to take home.

Highly recommend visiting here for your next meal! Great price to value ratio on serving sizes and there are always great deals on delivery apps.“

“I can testify anytime I place an order weather
for catering or just a regular meal it's always well done especially my fish 🐟 dinner or escovitch my family love this food
so much that's it the only place we cater from. My steam fish is always on points. It's the next best steam fish to my mom 👩“

“My first time at Kingston Grill and I’d it weren’t for the professional, well mannered lovely lady at the counter it very well could have been my last. However, I will definitely return as in addition to the wonderful customer service experienced on Saturday July 22 at around 4pm. The food was delicious!!! I ordered the oxtail meal as well as sweet chili chicken wings. Awesome!!“

“This oxtail special is really tasty! Im definitely going back to try their other stuff.

The place is definitely small, and dimly lit. But if you're ordering to go, it shouldnt matter

There was no menu at the time, but they kindly gave me a rundown of whats available

Waiting time was not long at all“

“I admit I should be 5.star thankful that I finally found some ackees and saltfish for breakfast. ? But it needed just a little more spice for me. Not more heat, just more zing, y'know??But the curry mutton the night before, ? now that had some zing, hands down. ? So maybe, yeah ? it's 5 stars after all.?????

Parking: Safest place to park is on the same side of the street as the restaurant. But it is located on the corner of a major intersection, so that's not saying much! Keep a sharp eye out! ?“

“Beautiful atmosphere and amazing food!“

“1st time here , amazing food…had the Curry Goat with 2 sides (rice & beans, Mac & cheese) and 2 spicy beef patties for later … ya Mon…. The curry goat was like butter, cooked perfectly, tasty and flavorful and perfect curry spice for added ❤️‍? …. Mac & cheese was fabulous, nothing better than rice & beans with curry goat juice all over …. Staff is great and food is awesome…“

“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.“

“I went across this restaurant sometime last week and NYC has been lacking as of late when it comes to Jamaican food. However, when I came here the flavor and the food hit the spot! It tasted like how great Jamaican restaurants would taste over a decade ago. The staff puts real care into their food. Since I’ve been here I’ve ate here 3 times. The great thing about this place also is that they’re consistent! The other Jamaican restaurants on the the Guy R strip are closed or just taste processed. Nyaminz and Jaminz tastes original and the main person here with the red hair is great and understands customer service. I would highly recommend this place anytime.“

“The wait was brief, my pick up order was ready and waiting for me.

Features: Covid-19 safety protocol was maintained. Hand sanitizers visible in front and made available for customer use. Masks worn by staff and customers, social distancing maintained. “

“Food was delicious. I had fried chicken and rice and peas. There was a long line, but it moved pretty quickly cashier / server could have been a little more polite. Nice music played. Plenty of food to make choices from fish, shrimp jerk chicken, curry goat, oxtail and soups. Different styles of rice. My hat goes off to the chef.“

“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“

“My son in law brought me oxtail from this restaurant. By far the best jamaican food I have ever had. It was delicious . Generous portion. I shared with my daugjter who is very picky and she said it was delicious. God bless the hands of the person that cooked it.“

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

“The best Jamaican restaurant ever , its all about the price ,where do i get started ,they have a lunch special its only 7$ and they feed you it's alot of food ,usually Jamaican restaurant don't feed you ,they give a Lil bit and over charge the mutha out of you lol, 😉 😜 😋 😀 😄 😆, There location is perfect rockaway ave across from JFK, it's a queens thing ,you have to live in Queens around there to know about it, the Q3 ,Q6 all go there it's perfect even te JFK bus will take you there if you catching a flight and you want to have some fun exploring the rich,spoiled side of south side Jamaica Queens,“

“The Curry Goat is the best, to me the best in Queens.!!“

“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 ......“

“I just pull up with my red car this place was 1minute from closing but these workers just assisted with me and my family meal which I wasn’t expecting to get any food .Very helpful workers with great service.Just bought jerk pork and rice and this is Mthf delicious.keep up the good works and god bless u to expand more with this hospitality.love and respect from a good Guyanese sister.🙏🏽.Everyone should support this business.“

“They need to make more breakfast, you have to rush there to get it before it runs out, by 9:30am. At least make enough for the people until 11:00, everyone clearly loves their breakfast but it’s never enough. I overheard women on line complaining about this, as well as my mom.“

“Great food � really really great, I always stop in when I'm in queens and I live in Connecticut“

“I ordered a chicken soup I was craving all day and was looking for a restaurant that sells soup. This was Sunday after thanksgiving so none of the restaurants made soup. This was the only restaurant in Brooklyn that had soup. I’m grateful for them and the soup was nice and hot and delicious. Thank you so much many blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾“

“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“

“Jamaican Flavors has never failed me. Over the years, whether it was a quick single meal because I didn’t feel like cooking or catering family event, the service has always been top tier. My family esp especially love that they have an economic option that serves about 8 and you can add (2) protein, a starch, a veggie and everyone gets a slice of cake and it comes with (2) large drinks. There’s always so much food left over after everyone eats. Can’t beat it.

The space is small and accommodates about 6 customers tailgating each other to get to the counter. Once you accomplish that, it moves along pretty quickly. The workers are nice and it’s seamless.

The hot counter offers all your major Caribbean staples: jerk chicken (boneless and bone on) , shrimp, curry chicken, curry goat, etc. They also have about (2) soup options daily and your baked goods like beef patty and coco bread. No review would be complete without the honorable mention of the Rasta pasta which you can get with or without added options of jerk chicken or shrimp. Baybeeee, let me tell you, this plate is KING. It’s like a warm hug that puts you to sleep.

At checkout you can add slices of cake or your fresh juices. My go to is a refreshing cucumber ginger that just hits every time. Great food at good cost and with excellent service.

Parking: The street parking is tricky. There are always people double parked and challenges getting your car out when you’re ready. If you can, park by MCU and walk over. Just be careful crossing.“

“Wow what can I say every morning I get my porridge and acke and salt fish it's so delicious.and the cook in the back I think is name is roan very very nice person one thing I admire about him he helps is staff he's in the back leave what he's doing to move the line I am very impressed.the food is not salty just right .If I can give carnise a 100 stars I will .to the owner the cook and your staff is doing an excellent job I hope you give them a raise .“

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

“If you're in queens and want just an explosion of deliciousness in your own home? Then this is the place to pick it up from. It's my go-to spot in Jamaica for cheat days. They have the best oxtails and vegetable rice around. The rice is seriously addictive. They also have a slamming hot sauce. You have to ask for the real hot hot sauce tho. Because they used to give me another hot sauce before a regular told me of this one. If you like perfectly spiced, fall off the bone, absolutely delicious oxtails. If you also like them with magic rice that you can eat buckets of till you explode in delicious rice goodness, then this is the place to get it from. They do not have any seating. This is a takeout-only spot. They also load up the containers. No skimping here. The staff is always nice as well. Keep up the good work guys.“

“Wonderful“

“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.“

“It's window service. All meals are to go there's no seating area. But that food is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. The Jerk chicken sandwich is fully loaded. Will definitely return there for food..

Kid-friendliness: Unknown

Wheelchair accessibility: None..“

“I only order j*** pork & j*** chicken, and I most say that this is the BEST j*** chicken & pork I have EVER taste in America. I am hooked. It’s all about the flavor, and most restaurants just cook to sale, but Merrick J*** cook to please. They’re Potato pudding is good too.. not too sweet, but just right.

Dietary restrictions: Not salty like most Jamaican restaurant.“

“It's not a dine-in restaurant. However, I just placed an order in door dash. The food is always great. But for the love of peace NOT EVERYONE likes gravy I PARTICULARLY DON'T LIKE GRAVY. There is an option for special instructions, it's even printed in the receipt NO GRAVY and my food comes with GRAVY, my rice is soggy and all the vegetables..OVERALL this is the only time i don't think I've ENJOYED my MEAL THAT I PAID $20 FOR YOU TO GET IT WRONG... PLEASE READ THE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FROM YOUR PAYING CUSTOMERS WHEN DELIVERY ORDEES ARE PLACED!!!!🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️“

“oxtails, jerk chicken, stew snapper“

“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.

I will DEFINITELY return!“

“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????“

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

“Food was great but when I got home I had no eating utensils. The works left the young teen im the front of the store while they had several customers in front waiting for service. You can hear the other workers in the other room chatting in up. While I'm thinking is anyone going to.co.e out here and help this young cat.Needs more customer service skills.“

“I am delighted to express my profound appreciation for this exceptional restaurant. The culinary expertise of the chef consistently meets the highest standards, demonstrating both professionalism and precision. The chef's unwavering politeness reflects a commitment to excellence. Furthermore, the customer service consistently attains a level of excellence, exemplified by its seamless execution and responsiveness. Having had the privilege of meeting the owner, I can attest to their courtesy and professionalism. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.“

“Owner clicked with me immediately. The delectable meal was just what my palate needed. Not a dining spot but excellent take out option for the West Indian foodie.“

“Best food and music especially on the late night. Fried shark, jerk chicken, seafood. Wonderful combination of jamaican and Guyanese. One of my favorite spots

Vegetarian options: Very vegetarian friendly. I can't recall but there are selections in the menu you can ask for. Good luck and enjoy.“

“Big thank you to ROYAL JERK restaurant for the sumptuous meal catered for the Bellevue Hospital CPEP emergency room Frontline workers!!! THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS ❤❤“

“They catered my brother's wedding and the food was soooo good! Everyone kept going back for more, there wasn't a single complaint from any of the guests. The delivery went off without a hitch, the ladies were professional and really sweet. I highly recommend them for any event.“

“Walk in and get the authentic feel of a home cooked Jamaican meal. Wish I ordered a variety of different dishes because my kids mouth was on fire but he loved it. Pair your j*** chicken dish with the sorrel drink - tastes like a tropical ginger beer. Cabbage was cooked soft and not soggy. Get your j*** chicken fix at the country life. Worth a visit.“

“We love eating out. Last night we came to this superb restaurant which friends recommended to us. We enjoyed a beautiful evening there with delicious meal and a courteous team and a talented chief cook. We added this fine restaurant in our list and we shall certainly return soon. Highly recommended.“

“This place had some of the best jerk chicken I ever had in my life. I've gone back 3x times in the past month and they are not there anymore. Does anyone have an updated location for this jerk pit?Because now I'm sad...sad spelled backwards is das and das not good :/“

“So I called to order my food and the woman on the phone was very rude. She was talking fast and the background was loud so I asked her to repeat herself and she got an attitude like this isn't her job 😔. When I picked up my ackee and catfish it was leaking all out of the bag and there was barely any ackee and catfish in the pan it was 4 big dumplings a plantain with a scoop of ackee and catfish . It was a complete waste of my money. Now my snapper was on point but I definitely won't be coming back here unless she changes her attitude and they learn how to package food .. MAKE SURE YOU CALL AHEAD OF TIME.. THE WAIT IS LONG. I CALLED AND STILL HAD A 20 MIN WAIT“
