Ordered Takeout and sometimes the food you get doesn’t hold up as well as it would eating it fresh. This was not the case with Cool Runnings. I had the Dark Jerk Chicken meal with cabbage, red beans and rice, and a side of the Mac and cheese. Everything was absolutely amazing!!!! I can not rave enough about how flavorful everything was.

I was really looking forward to trying this place after hearing so many good things through word of mouth, but unfortunately our experience was the complete opposite.

Cool Runnings Restaurant & Bar offers a relaxed atmosphere and flavorful dishes. The menu features generous servings, including combo platters that allow guests to try multiple options. Standout dishes include shrimp mac n cheese, beef patty, curry chicken, and stew chicken, all with tasty sauces. The restaurant is kid-friendly, with high chairs and changing tables, and the service aims to make visitors feel at home. Customers praise the fresh, delicious food, with good portions and a friendly atmosphere. The Jerk chicken and catfish are especially popular, and the rice and beans, as well as the plantains, are reminiscent of home-cooked Caribbean cuisine. The restaurant's location, though off the beaten path, is worth the visit for the exceptional dining experience. Food and drinks never disappoint. The perk chicken dinner is a favorite, with red beans and rice and plantains, as well as steamed cabbage for a side. The food was amazing, and the waitress couldn’t have been friendlier. The drinks were great, too.
