Ron's Caribbean Cafe

Lonstanding Philly establishment but service is always slow. Every single time. Regardless of whether you order in person or online.
They said it would take 10- 15 for my platters. It took 40 mins and the mgr/owner to ring me up. With 8 people working behind the counter, they were slow, ignored my concern after a 20 min wait, told me my food was coming, waited another 10 minutes for the woman to place my order on the counter and never ring me up. The mgr/owner rings me up, doesnt offer apologies & I left. Never let me check my food like others and ended up with 4 small basa nuggets. Never again.

Worst fish soup I’ve ever had in my life so I called Mr Ron and said to him father the soup had no fish in it he reply and said the American people don’t like the fish inside yet mind you now the soup had allot of fish bone inside which can kill you by choking you that was his stupidity response rather than just saying sorry do basically if you from the islands don’t come here because it’s no longer Jamaica food it’s yankee food see this is why when money go to your head you lose the base of people who made you who you are it was nothing but Caribbean people who supported you now you just they shift madness on we don’t go here if you from the islands

Simply delicious 😋

Ok so this was the 3rd time that I have them a try. I think because they are so nice I keep giving them a play. Their food “looks” good presentation was on a 10, but I’ll have to give the food itself a 3. The rice and beans were very dry, cabbage was bland and the grilled salmon was bland and too pink. But their customer service is 100 and that goes along way!!!

The person answering the phone should be patient and attentive. They want you to buy all you want.

I ordered takeout and the woman was rude. Shrimp roti had shell still on the shrimp. Every bite had a shell in it. Curry chicken roti had little to no flavor. Jerk chicken was cut up with the bones and was basically a choking hazard. Plaintains were okay. The peas, cabbage, and rice sides were the best.

I bought their fish over a month ago and it was pretty good . Today I bought the curry chicken with rice and peas and fried cabbage. I'm sorry to say that it does not taste the same , it's very salty and the cabbage has no flavor and I asked for extra gravy and I didn't get it , Rice and peas is very very dry , I won't order ever again. I'll go somewhere else for my curry chicken.

I would give them five stars. But it was crowded. It was a long line when I went they had one person taking orders. They selection was down. Then gave a little gravy on my platter. And it barely had any flavor for an oxtail platter. But it was clean. Service was fast after the order of placed. It's wheel chair accessible and the people or polite and curtious!

Just got oxtail platter from Ron's. Had turkey necks mixed with oxtails. I will not be ordering from them anymore. I heard that they were using turkey necks mixed with oxtail, and I know the difference between a turkey neck and a oxtails. It a shame for them to do that when people pay their good money for something and not get what they pay for. Please check your patter before leaving . You may have a platter of turkey necks and not oxtails

Recommended dishes: Fried Basa

Whatever you do don’t get the pepper steak its inedible i mean tuff and chewy. The rice is very very crunchy also yuck 🤮
