My boyfriend and I both ordered the large size of the Jerk Chicken plate. I chose mac n cheese and fries as my sides, he chose mac n cheese and white rice. The proportions were HUGE! We could’ve shared a single plate & it would’ve been more than enough. It was $15 a plate & for the amount of food we received that’s veryyy reasonable. The chicken was seasoned to perfection, wasn’t dry, & had just enough spice too it. The mac n cheese was very good. Full of flavor and creamy. The fries even had a seasoning on them that was good. The lady who helped us was very kind & patient with helping us look through the menu. There’s a stage for live music but when we came they just had music playing over the speakers. We both can’t wait to try more on the menu.

I love this place. I think they have the best Oxtails that I have tasted in Dallas. Nothing compares to Jamaican Oxtails. They Fried Okra is a favorite of my husband along with the Plantains. My only let down was my oxtail were not heated enough and the Mac and Cheese which is my usual favorite was over heated to the point it was dried out. I will still return hoping it was just an off day. Service is always on point very nice people.

Jamaican restaurant in Mesquite TX.. a rarity in itself. Easily accessible from Hwy 635 or Hwy 80 on Towneast BlVD. Plenty of seating to accommodate a large crowd. Plenty of parking Texas style. The atmosphere is proper and chill with plenty of wall decor to showcase Jamaica along with some nice reggae that give you that Jamaican IRIE vibration. ****So what about the food.. Keep in mind Jamaican food is known for many various special flavoured meats like Jerk Chicken, Jerk Pork, Steam fish and crackers, Oxtails, ackee and Salt fish (salted cod), festivals, Patties.. etc. and the big grandfather to vegan the Ital (Hi-tal) dishes. My order was simple rice and peas(red beans), plantains and Okra.. the servings were plenty to give one that belly full sleepy feel . Honestly cannot comment on the meat style dishes (not my thing) but based on the large amount of guests that were observed coming in/out for take out orders of the various flavours, there are good offerings for the meat lovers. This is ah non-chain local owners setup, please support the small business. Will definitely be returning with family and friends.

I have been here plenty of times. The wait time is long so call to order or plan accordingly. If planning on eating inside it is hot and kind of dark. The food is always delicious however the rice and peas are hit or miss. Most of the time the rice is not done, extra crunchy, and dry other then that the food is delicious. ***Also the beef patties are not authentic they come frozen out the box.***

The food at this place is amazing. The service is hit or miss. I've ordered from this restaurant many times. At first I was ordering online through a third party app, a lady who I am assuming is the owner asked me to stop because they have to pay for the service and this is were my problems began. When I was ordering on the app, my food was hot, and ready in the time that I was told and I got text updates and alerts about my order progress. The next time when I wanted to order I called and no one answered the phone. The second time I called and put in my order and when I went up there, it was not ready after 30 minutes. The third time that I called to put in an order I put in my order at 1:25 PM I got to the restaurant at 2 which is 30 minutes later, I stood by the front counter for about five minutes and then I decided to go get a drink out of the refrigerators on the side and came back to stand in line for another five minutes and no one ever came to the front. I left and went to my car and called them at about 210 to ask them about my order and they said it was not ready. I told them just to cancel it because it had already been over 30 minutes and I was already at the restaurant waiting with no help. It is not uncommon for me to put in orders and to stand in line for 10,15,20 minutes because no one's at the front. They have bells on their door, but the music is louder than the bells so they don't know when people walk in. I could have walked out with my drink, and they would have never known

As much as I wanted to love this place, I have to be honest about my experience. I was really excited to try this restaurant after seeing so many great reviews, but unfortunately, I left disappointed. Originally, I wanted to order takeout, but my husband suggested we dine in and enjoy the meal there. As soon as we walked in, the smell inside was a bit overwhelming—it immediately made us reconsider staying, but we decided to give it a fair chance. I ordered the jerk chicken plate with plantains, rice, and a side of cabbage. My husband ordered the (6) Reggae Wings without a side. When it came time to pay, I noticed that the total seemed higher than expected. I requested a printed receipt (as shown on the screen), but the cashier set it aside instead of handing it to me. I asked again for a copy and that’s when I realized the first issue: the prices being charged were higher than what was listed on the menu. On top of that, my husband was charged for a wings combo even though he clearly asked for wings only. My husband told me not to worry about it and to just enjoy the meal. After waiting about 30 minutes, our order was finally ready. When we checked it, we noticed that even though we were charged for the combo, no fries were included. When my husband asked for them, the staff said since he asked for wings only, they didn’t make the fries. Even after showing them the receipt, they refused to provide the fries, saying that was the only way to ring it up. If that’s the case, then we should’ve received the fries. Not wanting to make a scene, we decided to just take the loss and leave. Unfortunately, the food itself didn’t make up for the experience. The presentation wasn’t appealing, the flavor was lacking, and the plantains were mushy. I truly wanted to love this restaurant, but overall, it just wasn’t worth it. I hope this review reaches the owner so these issues can be addressed for future customers.

My coworkers and I decided to try this place out as we've heard nothing but good things about it. Fir starters, the lemon pepper wings were the star of the show. They were cooked very well and seasoned to perfection!! The jerk chicken was good as well, along with the cabbage which was very good. Now the rice and peas, had no flavoring whatsoever. The oxtails had a good flavor but they were so tough, you couldn't really enjoy them. The spinach was good as well as the fried bread. The jerk salad wasn't anything to write about as it was just meat and lettuce, literally. We also tried the curry chicken, which had a good flavor not sure it was authentic though. The chicken patty, barely had any fillings and it didn't really taste like anything. The macaroni was just okay. I'd definitely go back for the wings though, lol

This food is horrible the worst I have ever had. The cabbage taste old or spoiled. The Stewed Chicken is pink under cooked. The jerk chicken tastes weird the stewed chicken tastes bad. Rice and peas no taste just the stink from the chicken. $25.00 wasted. Never in my life have I had Jamaican food this bad.The people are very nice and the place was clean. Good music.

The jerk wings were old the clearly just put fresh sauce on them and reheated and maybe the same for the lemon pepper wings and those were definitely redropped from the previous day the were over cooked to the max!!!! Nothing but dry meat and a powdery crunch to the chicken then the fries were simply salt sticks and last the rum cake tast like chewing tobacco I hate i got pieces I took 2 bites out of one thru them both in the trash and the cake tasted like raisins I won't go back that was a waste of 50 bucks

I placed a to go order which was ready very quickly. When I arrived to the restaurant I realized it was a restaurant I have been to before, so I decided to also order another plate while I was there picking up my order. I had the jerk chicken, which I had before delicious this time it was so spicy and I’m Mexican and I love spicy, but that’ all I could taste the rice and peas There were a couple of times where I got hard pieces in my mouth it was tasting stale and old. Even my plantains looked old as if they’ve been fried more than once, I decided to just throw the food away. The cabbage needed more seasoning and not cooked enough and I hate to even write this because I’ve been here before and I loved their food. I don’t know what happened this time ? It was not the same this time and I had this food at least five times prior.
