The oxtail were awful.
The Jerked chicken was amazing.

The oxtail sauce was strange…I did not like it at all.

The rice was dry, and the amount of oxtails for the price wasn’t worth it, and the cabbage has mixed vegetables in it, didn’t like at all, the oxtails were good with a slight different taste the size large is just the same as medium. Oxtails go great with the dirty rice not what they sent it was to dry. Will not order from here again.

The nastiest Jamaican food I ever encountered in my 45yrs of life. Rice was hard chicken was old drenched in BBQ sauce the cabbage tasted sour and had peas in it. I also purchased a ginger ale soda that tasted like sugar water no fizz whatsoever. Absolutely a disappointment and tasted horrible I will never recommend nor will I ever purchase from here ever again!

I have been living in the area for a very long time. I picked up some fried chicken from my supermarket that I know is always very good. It was late in the afternoon and I hadn't eaten. On my way home I decided to stop at Ruby's. I ordered a small red beans and rice. She told me $5.00 and I thought that was high. I could have bought a box of zatarins but was hungry or looked in the frozen food section. I would share this very small container. The rice and beans looked dry and I asked for gravy. She said oxtail gravy. She put a couple table spoon. When I got home and tried it. It was so salty I ate a couple spoon and oh my god, it was so salty that I wouldn't share with my grandson. I had to throw it out. I hate wasting money, but being one that suffer with high blood pressure, I would have had a stroke. Never will I go back there. If I get desperate I will go to Jamaiican D's. In this neighborhood 35 years. I will not go there. I'm glad I only got one. It was not worth $5.00. Could have made it myself for $3.00 and ate it all week.

Food is horrible! I ordered oxtail platter with rice, beans, cabbage and sweet plantains. Rice wasn't cooked well done at all it was hard, sweet plantains weren't sweet they were dry not juicey. Paid 20.00 for medium platter. Upset, not good it is trash.
