Tried the oxtail meal and by far the worst oxtail meal I have ever tried in Ottawa and my life, lacking flavour whatsoever, meat was tender but it felt like I was eating nothing , rice and peas and the coleslaw stew was beyond terrible and tasted like nothing when consuming it. Usually Caribbean food hits the soul but this man’s food made me vexed and disappointed I spend $25 on an oxtail meal that had no taste and I was still in hunger after that . 2/10

Another one of those places that have been on my want-to-go list, but for some reason, never got around to. I have been absolutely been missing out. Food hits. It's a one man show (I think) and he's super friendly! We came in not really knowing what we wanted and ended up with an order of jerk chicken, added on plantains, and then a last minute decision for a patty and he took it all in stride as we kept stacking our order up.
The jerk chicken has a great kick and flavour. Rice and peas were well seasoned. Great portions. Plantains were just sweet enough and not oily. And the patty... Flaky! Buttery! Just perfect in all the ways and I was far too excited about it I forgot to take a decent picture.
Happy to return and try more of their menu out. I thought they only took cash and debt but they accept other cards as well!
Take out mainly, you have a small bar to sit at but we took the chance and picnicd out by the park on a chilly evening... was event worth sitting out in the cold wind to eat the food while it was still hot.

As in previous reviews, this place does not disappoint. It's a small place( off the beaten path), but the food was great and the owner is a positive breath of fresh air. The energy is welcoming, and the food gives you the same feeling. I will stop in here whenever in the West of Ottawa.

This place is absolutely wonderful! The owner is so friendly and kind. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The oxtail was so tender and fell right off the bone. The jerk chicken had just the right amount of spice. The rice and veggies were excellent accompaniments too. The plantains are also a must! I will definitely be back for more.

I am so happy I found this little gem. Had the best Jamaican patties and plantains in YEARS!!!! You can tell it's made with love. And the guy running the place is an absolute gem. Can't wait to go back and try a few more items. Real Caribbean food and vibe!!!!

Today was one of my favorite Take-Out experiences to date. The food and service is authentic as it gets. The grill outside tells you all you need to know, you're home. Don't hesitate, don't think twice, just take the plunge straight into some oxtail w/ peas and rice. Little side of plantains and life is good.
This place is a hidden Gem! The Jerk Chicken & Rice was amazing!

Today was my first time visiting and mek mi tell unu someting this food was SO GOOD. This is by far my favourite Caribbean place in Ottawa. You cyan really taste the flavour and the portion sizes are perfect. Service was top notch, I walked in and felt like I was at home. The owner is so funny and talked to me like he's known me for years.
Big ups to Do Good Food!!

As one review states, you step in and just know you're in for good food. The owner is so welcoming and kind. I applaud the owner and cook for his authenticity, kindness and talent in bringing Jamaican flavor to us. We got the oxtail and jerk chicken (split) and wow. We are from Vancouver and very spoiled by good food there. We were struggling to find real authentic flavor in Ottawa and this 👏 place 👏 delivered! And then some. Rice is hot and juicy, dripping with spices. Spice level is perfect. Flavour is complex and authentic. My husband liked the oxtail best and I liked the chicken. Meat was fall off the bone, juicy and packed with spices. We drove to the beach (6 mins away) and ate there. We also got a spicy meat patty and loved it!!! The dough is slightly sweet yet so flavorful, and the meat is perfectly seasoned. Lastly, the coleslaw that comes with the meal is a perfect refresher.
