Ordered jerk chicken wings. The wings were old tasting, and very small. Not freshly cooked at all.

I never see anybody in there. This should've been my first warning. Food was old. Seems as if it microwaved and as soon as the steam left everything got hard. Called him to tell him and he didn't even seemed surprised. All he said was he was sorry.

Ok so I want to preface this by saying, this would’ve been a 5 star review HAD my rice not been crunchy and weird in chunks. Otherwise that food was absolutely divine. The service was awesome and other than the rice, I can tell that they put lots of love and time into their food but they should really consider updating the ambiance of the restaurant. Doesn’t make you want to sit and eat unfortunately. What they might fail to realize, is that if someone sits to eat there, they order more. They will almost ALWAYS get drinks and possibly dessert. They will get their investment back. Food for thought. The curried goat was honestly the best I’ve ever had. Awesome and hot beef Patties, flavorful and juicy chicken. No issues…but that damn rice! Lol

I was really excited about trying this place, since I've heard so many good things. To start I placed my order over the phone and was given a 20 minute window. When I arrived at the restaurant 30 minutes later i began to push the bell and stood there long enough to have to push the bell three times with still no response. While standing on the inside I had to call the restaurant in order for someone to answer the phone to let them know that I was in the front waiting on my order that was actually sitting behind the counter the young lady informed me that she will be coming right up. 2 minutes later she finally comes to the front takes my money gives me my food. I return home thinking that I would enjoy my meal but the rice was extremely salty and the chicken was dry. Needless to say I was very disappointed.

I only had the beef patty, and it was good. I'll try some of their other dishes and provide a review.

I called about callaloo. It was made for me. I really enjoyed the food. The rum cake is so very light and delicious. The natural juices taste different from the bottles. They are so good that I had two. It was worth the drive. I will return to eat there again. Louis Louis is the owner, and he is so accommodating. I love this place. I ordered stir fry and J*** dinners for my parents. I'm going to try more menu items. Greens and yams, cabbage, and plantain are all so very good. I love the rice and peas. You can make your food as spicy as you please with the sauce on the side. The chicken is so flavorful that it doesn't need sauce.

Here's the story: We found an online coupon for this Jamaican restaurant. Since we'd never eaten Jamaican food, and since we are on occasion adventurous, we decided to try it. At first, they were surprised by the coupon, but finally accepted it. She had j*** chicken; I had goat curry. We were both blown away by the food. I have eaten in Ghana and was strongly reminded of that experience in both flavor and spicy heat. The fried plantains were excellent. She also had a ginger beer, made fresh in the store, and loved it. If palm wine had been available, I really would have thought I was in West Africa!The coupon question would normally knock down my service score more than a star. But they came roaring back with excellent recommendations and some above and beyond service. The setting flaw was only minor: more napkins were needed.It is clear that the two people who served us love this cuisine and are outgoing to their customers. We had a great adventure and highly, highly recommend the Hummingbird.
