I love Winston’s, but you guys need to lower the price of the ox tail plates OR add more ox tail. You guys give lots of rice but very little ox tail.

First I have been here both in person and ordered off DoorDash or Uber eats. I even have experience delivering through DoorDash as well and have picked up orders. Was delivered the wrong food since the people behind the counter didn’t confirm the right order. Call on the phone and they were rude and no help at all. Very unprofessional. This will be the last time I support this poorly run business. Food is very watered down and average. Poor portions size for the $$$$. Doesn’t accept cards in store instead directs you to the atm for a fee. Just stay away place quickly going downhill. Island Bay Grill is way better with better tasting food and portions. Winston beef patty taste worst than a beef patty at 711 on 7th st. Like how can a Jamaican restaurant mess up beef patties. Ridiculous.

They rather have conflict than serve you. Every time I’ve been here over the years there has been an issue! FYI the credit card/Apple Pay machines just always seems to be down, but the ATM that charges $3.50 per use is always working. The IRS needs to be informed about this business’s evasion (several customers are aware that you don’t want to pay your taxes). This is the main reason they want cash only, yet take online orders. The card machine is working, they are liars!The food has taken a sharp decline. My last meal here was curry goat that was not chopped in to bite size pieces but unrecognizable massive chucks of meat. I’m still new to the area and need a good taste of the islands - unfortunately it’s not Winston’s! Such a shame.

Boxes food like there’s all the time in the world, literally 30 min waiting for food to be bagged. You got to hustle in this industry & serve your customers promptly & in a timely manner.

I wish could give zero starsI’m a regular customer, I always order the rice and peas with light oxtail gravy (no Meat), plantain, no cabbage (just a little bit more rice). I would pay $6.00But, if the manager is there he would charge me $7. Yesterday my husband went alone to get my normal order and the same manager charged him $15.00 because he said the extra rice . Which is double my normal price.How does my order go from $6 to $15 ?!

Better service would have easily given this place 5 stars! It's always a little off-putting (for me) when the person who is supposed to take your order is visibly annoyed by general questions about the menu - especially, if it's your first time at the establishment (whether it's to dine-in or for takeout). That was my experience upon entering Winston's and browsing the menu. Which, might I add, did not display all available options or reflect current prices. How can you NOT ask questions?! Anyway, when we arrived Winston's looks like a brownstone type of home that has a restaurant occupying the first floor. We happened to find a parking space right in front - go us! Street parking seemed to be scarce. The food is excellent. The most authentic tasting Jamaican cuisine I have had in a long time. It's evident they know what they're doing in the kitchen! I ordered the curry chicken with rice/peas and cabbage. Also, a side of macaroni and cheese, which was freshly bubbling out of the oven. We eat with our eyes first, right? I could not resist! And it did not disappoint, at all. Plenty cheesy and gooey while flavorful, too. The curry chicken packed a delicious punch of flavor with each bite as it fell off of the bone. The cabbage, my favorite, shredded into perfect slices and a little spicy kick, perfectly combined with the few potatoes and carrots included with it. The rice/peas was delightful as well. A great meal! By the time we were ready to exit, the service had become much 'friendlier'. However, it is not lost on me that it's only because the owner, Mr. Winston himself, came in and greeted us. He was so jovial and inviting. Prior to that moment, the gentleman behind the counter had MUCH attitude. Overall, the food is what will bring me back here. And I WILL be back!
This place is wack ,fake jamaican food. Taste not good, food hurts your belly when you eat it, they don't take cards ,tell lies that there system down everyday just because they wanna cheat the system, on taxes. The food is trash not

Very disappointed, I ordered an oxtail dinner and was Barely given 4 oxtail, basically all rice and peas, cabbage and plantains. Ordering off of Uber eats shouldn’t lower the quality of the food. Just because a customer is not present doesn’t mean you give them what you want. Stay consistent all the way

This is a quaint and friendly Jamaican food restaurant, I ordered the red snapper with rice and beans and cabbage with rum cake and ting.The flavor of my fish was good but it was dried out in portions telling me that it was either overcooked or reheated because it was previously cooked. The flavor of everything else was pretty much spot on my cabbage was good except for the fact that it had corn in it and I don't eat corn, the rum cake I'm going to say was a little different for me because I'm used to eating rum cake that pretty much looks like pound cake and it's soft but this was a dark brown cake it was very dense
