“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.“

“visited Paradise Jerk Jamaican Restaurant for the first time today and decided to try the cornmeal porridge and an order of sweet plantain. I have to say, I was very impressed! The porridge was smooth, creamy, and full of authentic Jamaican flavor seasoned just right with the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. It had that comforting, homemade taste that instantly reminded me of traditional island cooking. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. The portion was generous, and the food came out hot and fresh. For my first experience, it definitely left a positive impression, and I’m looking forward to going back to try more dishes on their menu.“

“I love Jamaican Flavors patties. First time I had Ackee patties, I fell in love. I was recommended by one of the workers to try the impossible patty, the vegetable partty and I can say they are delicious. I love the impossible patty, will definitely try that and all the other two I purchased. The cake I bought I love it. I usually order the chocolate, but this one yummy. Thanks for your service and I will continue to support.“

“I come here often. The food is definitely a bit overpriced but it is good and consistent. The customer service is great as well, compared to other Jamaican spots.

With that being said I got there the other day in the perfect time slot to get the lunch special. I asked about it and the lady said “we don’t have the lunch special right now”. I was so confused. If yall don’t want to offer it please TAKE THE DAMN SIGN DOWN. What’s the point in having it up?

Besides that, I definitely reccomend this spot.“

“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. “

“The service was okay I'm not sure what's up with Jamaican restaurant customer service they are not very pleasant to deal with. They act as if they never want to be at work. I get it but not every single day is a bad day. I really like the fried chicken that's why I continue to return“

“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.“

“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 ......“

“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!!“

“Some people prefer quality over quantity. But this was both. Most cheesiest rasta pasta $12 and added jerk chicken $7 iv ever eaten. Also the portion size was so much that the container couldn't close. Check them out. I'd recommend.“

“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.“

“Earlier this morning..... My first experience at Door Restaurant in the borough of Queens.... OMG I tried the Traditional Jamaican Breakfast: Liver, Saltfish, Callaloo, provisions omg. Couldn't eat it all but I killed the Saltfish. Restaurant wasn't crowded. Good service.. I still have enough leftovers for a few more meals 😂😂😂😂 My friend enjoyed her jerk chicken with peas and rice.. 😋“

“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????“

“Don't let this tiny place dictate your opinion. The ox tail was flavorful and the fat melted in your mouth, meat falls off the bone so you know it has been cooking for a bit. The staff are friendly and welcoming. A hidden gem worth visiting if you're in the hood.“

“Absolutely delicious. Had the oxtail plate and added Mac n cheese. Will definitely be back. Great seasoning I forgot to add the jerk sauce.“

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

“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.“

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

“oxtails, jerk chicken, stew snapper“

“great location good pub food music on the weekends“

“I was coming from the airport and was so hungry. Find this Jamaican restaurant let me tell you for a long while I never have oxtail so good. I hate when food being too salty and Rice and peas was good also. This food was perfect. and the owner and staff were very nice I totally recommend this restaurant“

“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.“

“stayed in nyc for 4 nights and got dinner here 3/4 — the food was that good. im also used to bad customer service = good food and good customer service = bad food, but here i received both. if your belly is big, be prepared for your bill to reflect it. 5/5 experience — toronto do better.“

“This is where I bought my babygirl birthday cake yearly! And every year the taste gets better and better, cake was beautifully made and the taste was everything! Mr Baker big up yourself😊 also the customer service for ordering was so good, lady was very nice.“

“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.“

“My Husband took me out for Lunch, at GT Mobay or GT Kingston. It been a while, since I had the oxtail, pea & rice, man I am so glad I did, I was a delight to my taste buds after, eating my home cooking for so long. Not forgetting Sunita the bartender made me a mad cool Virgin Pina Colada.
So next time you're looking for a cozy atmosphere to have Lunch or Dinner drop in @ GT Kingston and ask for Sunita, she will hook you up.“

“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.“

“This is a compliant but I gave all 5 stars cause I love this place from young. Bought 6 spicy beef & 2 jerk chicken Pattie’s this morning (June 5th 2025). In this photo you see plastic. I bit this piece of plastic out of my patty, I thought it might’ve been some hard lettuce but yea it’s plastic.“

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

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

They
cute little mini meals.

Andy they control the pepper ..

Sorry but not every one controls the scotch bonnet“

“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.“

“I was in the neighborhood on the mall close by. I was really hungry so of course Jamaican food would do. Was a bit skeptical because it said Silver Krust on Google but the sign onsite says something else. Anyway, the woman serving looked very Jamaican (lol) and sounded very Jamaican with the ghetto flare attitude so I am like alright this food is good. Gotta be good (lol). I really wanted to soup but they had chicken soup with no corn. Anyways , I got curry goat, rice and peas, sweet chilly chicken, cabbage and plantain. Yum yum yum !! The food was so good! Even though the goat could have been a bit more tender, but it was still flavorful. I ate every bit of it! The food really hit the spot. I went back for patty but no patty. Not sure if it’s because it’s Sunday. Try this spot for authentic Jamaican flavor . No seating inside restaurant. Parking lot very dirty.“

“Wonderful“

“They Cater To My Strange Dieting /Eating For Years Now. Helps Keep Me Fit.

Tasteful and Season Well.“

“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 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾“

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

“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“

“Excellent food. Fair prices, nice selection. The oxtail dinner is delicious! !“

“It's the best food in the neighborhood and still going strong after 30 years. The wait can be a little long, but, you can't rush perfection! They get it right every time. It's only one lady there who's been there a little while now, everytime I visit who seems to give me bad attitude, otherwise it's 5 stars from me“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing food, drinks and customer service.“

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

“This is where you go for authentic down home Jamaican food. Not a fancy place but the food is like Grandma use to cook and they have many old time Jamaican dishes not ordinarily offered in most Jamaican restaurants like run down, seasoned rice, pumpkin rice, cornbeef and cabbage..only downsides are usually no fried plantain offered and they don't accept debit/cards. Now taking debit/credit cards as of about 3-4 months ago. Chef is friendly.“
