It's probably time for Sunshine Jamaican Restaurant close down or get new people.The last time i bought food from Sunshine which was last year, it was the worst chicken soup i have ever had, i wasted my money. The chicken soup only had the meatless drumsticks, yes meatless from joint to joint

This business is a 1 star. I purchased 2) pigtails and stew peas large plates. I only received 1 pigtails in both plates. If they didn't have any more meat as pigtails. They should have told me up front before placing the order. The manager told me that the food is good and suck on the bone. The manager refused to give me a refund. I was taken advantage of.

They added a tip to the bill without my knowledge on take out. I am not sure I will go back there unless I really need to grab something.

I'm a chef as well as a Jamaican, I was served chicken that was cooked 2days ago because store is closed on Sundays and today is Monday. The soup was made from the old stew chicken as well. I ordered jerk chicken they gave me the same old stew chicken and added jerk sauce to it they've been trying to reuse the same old children in every recipe as to not throw away waste. I stopped going there months ago because of that but decided to go in today just to be disappointed once again

Bought stew peas here the other day and by the time I got to work it started to smell sour you can tell it wasn’t even cooked that day cause it shouldn’t spoil that fast. I called them multiple times and no answer until next day then they telling me to bring the food back why would I still have that sour food with me?? And this wasn’t the first time a few people said the same thing about their food

They serve my son and I raw bloody chicken. No good. It was later on in the night didn't realize until we got home and start eating too late to run out and get anything else. Very disappointing.

The place I usually go to is closed so I tried this place. I order the combination plate with jerk chicken and oxtails. Everything taste old, the rice had a taste of food that’s been sitting in a refrigerator for days and it was mushy. The jerk chicken taste freezer burnt and the oxtails just tasted old. I ended up throwing everything a way. The only thing that tasted half way fresh was the veggies. I will never return.
the food here is terrible it was very salty and taste nasty my husband ordered white rice and they gave him rice and peas

When I had surgery and couldn't eat solid foods. I ordered soup from here almost every day. I would ask for just broth, no food. Best soup in the area. I love the red peas soup and Manish water, my favorite.

First time at Sunshine. I honestly do not eat at a lot of restaurants on Memorial Drive but a friend told me Sunshine was good. Service - didn't get a greeting when we walked in, the lady was sitting in a chair at the register, there was one guy In there sitting down waiting on this food so she was not busy. They had a few fish dishes on their menu but had NO fish at all that day (weekday). I mean they were out of everything seafood and they were out of sorrel. This should have been a sign to leave but I settled with a small oxtail meal. They do open the box for you to see your food before leaving, no corrections or complaints after you leave. Well, I wish I would have took a closer look at the "plantains" bc it was absolute mush! It looked so terrible, I thought it was fat from the oxtail... they literally served spoiled plantain on both of our plates, I tasted it & it was definitely rotten. I love plantains when I eat Jamaican food & the fact that it was rotten was very disrespectful. The oxtail was small, not a lot of meat but the flavor was decent although I would have preferred more gravy. Rice & peas and the cabbage were average. As far as the inside, not much sunshine in there, just get it Togo. Oh! And the health score was 81 which should have been another sign to leave. There are better Jamaican restaurants to visit.

Just Bad Food. I stopped by this place today after reading the reviews and was willing to it give a try. It's located in an old shopping center at the intersection of Memorial Drive and N. Hariston Rd in Stone Mountain. My first warning sign was the foreboding curb appeal outside the store looking in. The doors and windows did not look very clean. The second warning sign, there was no one in the place when I went in. No problem, right? The third warning sign, which should have been the last before I turned right back around was the Health Inspection Grade of 81. So, all the warning signs were there to let me know this probably was not a good idea. But I'm always willing to give the benefit of the doubt especially to local businesses. The cashier appeared to be cramping really bad, so she was not in the best mood. Yes, cramping. She was holding her stomach and appeared to be in some discomfort. Anyway, I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas. Good lord! the chicken was dry and mealy. The jerk sauce was very vinegary and just plain wrong. This was my first time having really bad jerk chicken. I hope the owners read this. You need to do much better. Shame on you!
