The servings were a great size (not the skimpy stuff you get elsewhere); enough for a great breakfast leftover. My server was Moya. She was super nice and let us sample the meat and sauces before ordering.“

“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 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 :/“

“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.“

“Food was delicious! My husband licked his fingers clean after eating the oxtail stew and the red snapper chunks were divine!“

“Today while wondering what to eat as indecisive. I came across this inclusive restaurant on 108-10 Guy R Brewer Blvd in Queens NY & I order a stew fish & rice. Listen it’s was deliciously good. As a Delta airlines employee. They’ll see me often although I lived far….their food is delicious ?“

“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.“

“The food was great , fill me and held me over all day. We came from upstate and while in the area they were the closest to us. I got the oxtail was so good, my husband loved his Jerk Chicken. The rice was also good. They gave me one piece of plantain which was disappointing, but overall great food. I also got a piece of fruit cake which was really great.“

“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! ?“

“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. “

“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 ......“

“oxtails, jerk chicken, stew snapper“

“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.“

“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????“

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

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

“Beautiful atmosphere and amazing food!“

“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“

“I’ve just had my third meal at Tony Mac’s in as many days, and again I was not disappointed!??? For lunch I had the curry goat which comes well-seasoned with rice and peas, steamed veggies and plantain. To drink I had a number 5 Sea Moss drink called “The Mac Body Heat” to wake up the body made of - Sea Moss, wheat germ, oats, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, roots and something called tigerbone! ???The waitress noted to me on the way out “Look after your wife tonight, the next day you might be getting a welcome visitor from the Creator!Great meal and the medium was mighty big for the money -$25 for the meal and drink! Highly recommended for great food, Garnett Silk music while you wait and the baby maker shake!!!!?????????Honey I’m home!????“

“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.“

“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…“

“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“

“The food is excellent the take out order experience is a nightmare! You can drive from Montauk to Maine faster.“

“Sometimes the half jerk chicken changes in size and quantity. Doordash order vs ordering in person. When ordering with Doordash I got a bigger container for the same prude when I called and ordered the same item it was the same price but less food.“

“They food is ok, and I never had any major issue. The service, on the other hand, is iffy sometimes great sometimes meh. However, we're humans, and working with the public can be a hard task sometimes, so all in all, good spot to get some food.“

“I have not been here personally, but I’ve called before or during every order and received quality customer service and my order is ALWAYS correct! The food is impeccable, also. I can’t stress enough how much everything is on point!
*Chefs kiss*“

“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.“

“I started ordering from here cause it close to my job & the first time, the food was amazing, the goat was perfectly seasoned, the roti was nice & fluffy but the last few times I’ve ordered from here its like they give less & less food. My goat roti today was mainly bones, the seasoning isnt as it was the first time & its a little disappointing.“

“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.“

“Best tasting Caribbean Food !!!! ?“

“Catered our EVS Week and Christmas party. Staff loved the food. On time and tasty. They were so good for EVS week we used them again for our Christmas lunch and dinner for the staff.Excellent food. I personally love the sweet and sour chicken.“

“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.“

“Super busy area! The line always a little lengthy. We tried the Calaloo, chickpea and veggies patties. The first time they were fresh and really good. The next time we visited they were subpar. Each Pattie is $3.50 right now. I will say they put a good amount of filling into the patties and a couple of them will get you full.“

“Food was ok. I got the Jerk chicken, shrimp pasta, steamed vegetable, some oxtails on the side and a drink. The Jerk chicken was overcooked and tasted burnt. They do grill it outside. I didn’t get much of the seasoning to proclaim its authentic jerk chicken. It was super disappointing due to the fact that’s what I like the most and was looking forward to the most. However, the guy at the cashier was very nice & helpful. The place is clean. You serve yourself and it’s by the pound. It was dead in there. Very empty but food is 7.5/10. I would go back there again for something quick.“

“The food is great, the quantity is large. The best fried chicken I've had in Long Island... Th3 Curry goat, Jerk chicken, oxtail, Oeas and rice. All excellent. I live across the street from there, and I eat there every other night. Sometimes back to back. ?Try it, you'll like it!!! Their food taste like ( More) You eat it once and That's what you will want. " More".?“

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

“They Cater To My Strange Dieting /Eating For Years Now. Helps Keep Me Fit. I Don’t Do Heavy Eating or Too Much Meat ?.✨?I Miss Camille She The Best Of The Best ?✨,… Use To Be A Yute With A Side Kids Costume/Characters Business, He Was Super Cool Too ???✅.They Have Real Good Stew Peas and Curry Goat. Tasteful and Season Well.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I like this place a lot. I go about twice per week for the lunch specials. The location is clean; food is cooked very healthy it's not greasy nor overly seasoned. The food is so good. Patrick is the cook and besides being a great person he is truly passionate about cooking. I refer my coworkers to them. The lunch special is just $7 which includes rice and peas, sweet plantain, choice of meats, and bottle of water or can of soda.“

“I didn't like it, I LOVED It!!!! Had the jerk chicken with rice and peas, plantains and the salad, it was an explosion in my mouth! ? delicious!!! Salad was fresh, chicken hot and tasty I will definitely come back when I'm in the mood for Jerk Chicken again! ❤️ only thing I felt it was pricey for the amount of food, although for one person it is filling!“
