Delicious, delicious food. It's a small place so you really will be ordering take out. The food here is flavourful, spicy, and definitely worth a try. I got the curried goat and boy was that good. Beware that you do have to deal with some bones, but that's how I like my meat anyway (the bone gives the depth of flavour!) The only ding I have is probably the styrofoam box the food came in. It's still so jarring that I could be in one of the most tech friendly cities in the states, and still have to deal with the least environmental friendly to-go boxes.

I ordered off of Uber eats at the earliest time available. My food was sooo dry with no gravy I couldn't even enjoy it. I spent $30 to not even be able to get a teaspoon of extra sauce?? Really?? And only 2 large pieces of oxtail for a large plate?? c'mon now

An experience. Will be back every time we come into town. Wow!! Caribbean jerk chicken, rice with peas, cabbage and side of Mac. Yum yum. Would prefer more peas/beans with the rice but still give 5 stars as that’s just a preference.
First - I'd like to say if I could give this place 6 stars, I would. We stopped by Friday night around 7pm for dinner. I didn't realize the restaurant is more of a takeout place, they have two small tables with two chairs each. I also didn't realize that they sell out! I needed to come way earlier. By the time we got there, they only had a few dishes left and unfortunately, no jerk chicken or mac and cheese which is what I was most looking forward to. Service was really quick though so we were in and out in just a few minutes. We got two dishes: (1) chicken curry, rice & beans, cabbage and (2) brown stew chicken, rice & beans, plantains. Both were excellent. I liked the chicken curry more and my husband liked the brown stew chicken more. I knew I would love the plantains but I was pleasantly shocked by how good the cabbage was. I would 100% recommend going but go earlier in the day! I am definitely going to go back so I can try the jerk chicken, patties, and mac n cheese.

Let me start off by saying, my family really enjoyed the taste of the food. My son requested Jamaican food for his birthday, and this was our first time trying this restaurant.I bought 5 different dishes so we could all taste a little of each. My only complaint on a couple of the dishes were the main courses were served in the “sides” portion of the to go box.Meaning, they put the meat in the smaller portion of the box. There were only 2 1/2-3 pieces of oxtail or goat meat.Maybe that’s the new norm but it’s disappointing for the price. I didn’t take any pics of the food but here is the box. And only one side had the meat. The larger portion was filled with rice and the other side cabbage.I didn’t order a rice dinner, I ordered oxtails, goat, and chicken with a side of rice smh.

Not authentic Caribbean food. Save yourself from having a bad day n eating experience, spend money elsewhere!

Ordered jerk chicken w Rice and peas and mac n cheese. Chicken is old and dried out so they smother your plate in cheap overly spicy jerk sauce… it does not

Pauline’s restaurant serves Caribbean foods such as jerk salmon, coconut shrimp, curry goat, and oxtail. Serving sizes are large, and prices are reasonable.I ordered dinner for delivery. I really enjoyed the freshness and flavors of the plantains, curried veggie stir-fry (spicy), jerk shrimp (sweet), curry chicken (mildly spicy), mango-carrot juice, and pineapple soda. I thought that the chicken patties, coco bread, and rice tasted OK.Vegetarian options: I saw some vegetarian dishes. I ordered a curried veggie stir-fry.
