Coolies Island Jerk/ The Juice Bar

I typically do not post but was sadly disappointed with the food. Bought the curry goat and curry chicken.... The goat dish was salty and not flavorful as I am accustomed to (travel the Caribbean and lived in D.C./MD area). The chicken dish was bland. The cabbage on both dishes was not steamed to Caribbean tenderness and tasted heavily of coconut... I am think coconut milk may have been used not sure...

This establishment has the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. The staff is not knowledgeable on how to utilize their system or how to redeem rewards when earned. If your going to be in business ensure your staff knows how to operate the system! This is a poor reflection on the owner.

I wanted to love this food, BUT I CANT! The jerk chicken was SOOOOO dry I almost choked! The mac and cheese had no flavor and the beef patti- save your money this food is NOT worth it.

Food is just trash. Mama j sold the restaurant to a family member and he’s not upholding the quality of food. Food is bland, Mac and cheese is straight garbage, no cheese. It literally taste like noddles and water . I had to season my food to my liking. I’ll never eat here again, not worth the price or the time. Chef, you need work simply said!!!

Was looking for some good Jamaican food and I wish the guy at the front told me it wasn’t hittin how I thought it was gonna hit lol especially for $27 if I didn’t drive all the way across town I most definitely would have took it

The absolute worst food I've ever had. The service was amazing. The one individual who was in there taking orders was extremely polite and courteous. However great their service is, they need to completely reconsider being an actual restaurant & just stick to selling incense & juices. The oxtail were not only thin & few, but tough. I mean well done steak tough. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever, even after requesting additional sauce per my overall experience with oxtails the sides i typically choose. The sides were flavorless- rice & peas, mac & cheese. Then had the audacity to charge $25+tax. Everything as i observed was extremely overpriced & laughably misleading. Most places in my experience have menu items that justify the prices. These people are just straight robbing folks with their takeout & i have no clue how they stay in business.

Went there last week. Ordered the oxtail plate for $25 and the large j*** chicken $18?. Sides were rice and pea (majority of the plate) and Mac and cheese. My sis said she didn’t like the ox tails (ox tail queen) and my chicken was more chopped bone than chicken. It had good flavor but kinda dry. The rice and peas had no flavor and the Mac n cheese was soooooo salty and just mixed Mac. I have had Jamaican food before and this wasn’t a good representation. Also the young man taking the order had no knowledge on the food. When asked how many pieces or what’s the difference between the small and large he didn’t know how to answer nor did he really seem to care to find out. I should have walked out but I tried. We literally threw the food away. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. But I def won’t be going back but I encourage people to make their own decision but I can’t guarantee it will be good because of my experience. Sad but most restaurants are doing the bare minimum. I hope this comment encourages them to cook with passion and make people fall in love with their food to justify the the price. God bless

Food was great! Come prepared to like spicy food though. The Mac and cheese was great. Lots of pepper and other spices. Same with the cabbage. Had the j*** chicken. Loved the heat level and will definitely come back.Music is a little loud but I enjoyed it!

I’m not one to write reviews, but this was just outrageous today. My partner and I came here for the first time today. We ordered food around 6:15. We got our food at 7:30. You’d think the restaurant is busy for over a hour wait for food. There was a total of six people including me and my partner.On top of this the customers who ordered more food and AFTER us somehow received their food before ours. This was probably due to that patron complaining multiple times. When we received our food I ordered a large J*** chicken with dirty rice and Mac and cheese. First of all don’t order large because they put your main meat in a side compartment of a take out box. So maybe 5 pieces of cut up chicken and most of it is the bone anyway. The J*** seasoning you can get at target tastes better than what they gave me. The only thing they got right was the dirty rice it sure was dirty non appealing, and horrendously salty, and they put your SIDE dish in the main compartment of the takeout box. To wait over an hour pay over $60 dollars for a meal that isn’t filling, tasteful or anything. Is a waste of time.Do yourself a favor and save your money and please go somewhere else this place is a joke.

I have been craving oxtails for over 2 1/2 weeks and I decided to send someone to pick me up two orders of ox tails and I ended up paying over $50 just to get pretty much no meat in my oxtails. It was mainly bone, which is expected, but instead of me, I got mainly Cartledge and chewy gristle. I had high hopes, but sadly, I probably will not be buying oxtails ever again from here.

Came from out of town, stopping through. We got oxtail that fell off the bone! Curry chicken, j*** chicken, j*** wings, which were all delicious! The beef & chicken patty's to die for. The mango pineapple fresh juice was refreshing & delicious. I will be back!

This was me and my husbands first visit here. The customer service was absolutely phenomenal. Amazing. Natalie was especially amazing and super kind. We will definitely definitely come back. If you want to good Jamaican food. Bring yo butt right here.

My family and I came down first time in south Carolina, we wanted some Jamaican food Google this place the food was awful the customer services was awful10 out of 10 do not recommend also they re-heat their food it tasted like food from the day before. it’s definitely not fresh my stomach sick all night

Dietary restrictions: Food was absolutely off service. No customer service.

These oxtails remind me of back home in Jersey. Only reason it’s not a 5 star because I wanted a little bit more spice. I will recommend Coolies to anyone that looking for some good Jamican food it definitely hit the spot ??

We just left this place stuffed like turkeys. This place has by far the best Ox tail, cabbage, and rice with beans. If you like Caribbean food, this is the place to go. Check it out
