So this isn't my first time eating from this place. yesterday I ordered the jerk platter. The menu says it's supposed to feed 2-4 people, so i thought. The platter came with jerk chicken,pork,shrimp, ribs, grilled corn, fried plantain and festival(substituted for spinach rice). Mind you this was $53, I ended up paying $72 in total because i ordered a drink and a side of rice. I kid you not, they gave me 5 pieces of shrimp, 3 pieces of ribs, 3 small cut up corn, 3 pieces of chicken, soggy plantain, couple pieces of pork and a scoop of rice! When i tell you i was INFURIATED, that is absolutely NOT enough food to feed 2-4 people. The plantain was soggy because it was overripe, so it felt like i was chewing oil. That's just crazy to me lol i was shocked more than anything. Overall the food was okay, my favorite thing was the shrimp. Other than that, the meats weren't seasoned enough. but the portion for that price was absolutely ridiculous. So if you plan on ordering that, just know it will NOT be enough to feed a whole family but the flavor is there. So do with that as you will

Excellent. We eat here quite often and every time the food is on point. Yesterday, we decided to try the Brunch menu. For an appetizer, we tried the French toast bites and they were amazing. Then for my meal, I got the fried catfish and grits. I made the right choice, because the grits were seasoned just right, and they were so creamy. To be honest the catfish was the best fried catfish I have ever eaten. It was crispy but so tender. The flavor was impressive, and I enjoyed every bite. And I was impressed that it was only $15. Very reasonable compared to anywhere in Nola. I do not write to many reviews, but this was worthy of a review. A+++ Check them out.

Disappointed is an understatement for this place. When my husband walked in on a Thursday night it was basically empty which I guess should've been a sign. However I figured that would just make for a more intimate experience. The waiter was nice and made a great rum punch. Not as attentive as I would've cared for but she did start to get a little busy and she was the only one on the floor. We started with the grilled jerk wings which were unfortunately dry but the sauce helped. I ordered the jerk chicken with Mac and cheese and rice and peas. Hubby was served ice cold oxtails with cabbage and cornbread. The cornbread was at least edible. It made no sense that the food was cold seeing as the place was not busy when we ordered. I was so excited to try authentic Jamaican food and this place totally missed the mark. The manager did stop by and offered to recook the chicken but honestly it wasn't even worth it. $$ down the drain. I would try another local place instead. Just skip it!

This is a hidden secret. This is the best Jamaican food I have ever had. Food is delicious and staff is super friendly. Oh and don't miss the amazing rum cocktails. I recommend the "Surrey".

Came all the way from Georgia to celebrate my birthday here, was not given menus or drink orders taken for almost 20min. And then proceeded to inform us that they are out of oxtail and 15min wait for jerk chicken. Very

First night in New Orleans and this is what we ordered! $100+ on food that was barely seasoned! The macaroni barely had cheese and definitely wasn’t seasoned! The Salmon sliders were pathetic! No seasoning, no sauce, no nothing, not even butter on the bread! The jerk chicken was dry and the curry goat… I don’t even have words to describe it! So disappointed! ?

This place is amazing!! The food was wonderful! Had jerk chicken and beef ribs. The drinks were out of this world! Our waitress was super sweet and the vibe in the restaurant was super chill. Will definitely be back!!

I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to Jamaican food however I was very impressed with the quality and flavor of 14 Parishes. Our sever was nice and willing to answer any questions;however, she wasn't able to be fully attentive due to the busy kitchen. As I waited for my food I just knew it was gonna hit based off the flood of customers coming in for to-go orders. If I'm in the area again I would definitely revisit to try more amazing dishes. I highly recommend the jerk chicken, oxtails and curry shrimp.

Hung out upstairs at The Hummingbird Lounge. The service was good, the food looked amazing. The drinks were a decent pour. It's a nice vibe. It was not crowded so it was very comfortable. I'm sure when it's pa ked it's hard to move around and also this place is mostly standing room only so be prepared. All in all it's a nice spot..wear comfortable shoes.

The food was overcooked and seemed to be old, chicken dry tasting platter expensive for the food.

this place is the WORST possible restaurant ever . I placed an order on Uber eats and never received my order . I called the restaurant several times and they refused to do anything. The Uber driver went there and they refused to make my order saying someone already picked it up . That couldn't be more from the truth . THE MAN ARGUED ME DOWN AND QUITE FRANKLY IM OVER IT . I don't recommend to anyone!!!!!

We had a taste for Caribbean cuisine and thought about this spot. It was a Sunday night so we were quickly seated. It took awhile for our food to come out. Plantins were super old while the rest of food was barely warm. I ate a little and saved the rest for lunch the next day. I had curry chicken, rice & peas, and plantins. He had jerk chicken which all he had left were bones. LOL

Just okay. The Mac and cheese tasted premade and was terrible. Everything except the meat felt like it wasn't salted at all. The chicken was dry like the desert and was almost all bone sadly. Bad quality chicken but good flavor. Curry goat was fine. Just okay. The best part of the meal was the jerk sauce and mash potato's. Plantains were too thick and no salt again. Don't recommend it but maybe it was just an off night
