“Get the jerk chicken. It’s delicious. I was on my long run and stopped here as a mid run food break, rest stop. The jerk chicken and rice was amazing. I will definitely be back next week for more food haha. This place was packed too! So busy. I knew it had to be good.“
“This is a local Dorchester place that gives you pretty decent food. They call it "Jamerican" which is pretty accurate. Jamaican inspired food that leans more American flavor wise or spice wise. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They recently updated there food area which makes ordering easier. They also took over the bakery that was attached but that space hasn't really been updated. It would make a good eating area if they can find a way to update it.“
“The food is absolutely amazing and the owner is even better. Great guy to chat it out with who clearly enjoys feeding people. Plus it's the only place I know that sells Island Vibes brand drinks. They're amazing and I'm probably going to stock up“
“I love this place because they have delicious food at good prices. I love the jerk chicken, ox tail, curry goat, plantains, and the patties! The place is nice and clean and has a modern, beautiful eating area. It is also across from the Jackson Square orange line T stop and busses so you can get off the train, and grab dinner and go.“
“Ok so we came from Chicago and looked for places to eat. I almost didn’t come because it was 3.9 stars. Whoever gave this place a bad review is all lies. Food was just like the name “Flame”, And baby that sauce she put on my rice and peas was smackin!! It’s meant to be an In and out spot so don’t expect luxury, However it is clean. Just go just go just go if you wanna eat good!!“
“Went in to satisfy the kid’s ice cream craving. We were pleasantly surprised at all the flavor choices! Walked home after sharing a scoop of oreo and cookie dough (sort of sharing, the boy can be a bit stingy when the food is good...) and with a meal each: jerk chicken and stew beef. We each had a filling dinner last night AND lunch today. Thanks! Looking forward to trying ALL the ice cream flavors :)“
“Let me tell you something! I was having a bad day. I hadn't had Roti with stewed curry goat, rice, beans and sweet plantain in almost a year. I saw the 4.1 rating so I almost did not go to this restaurant. How I would have regretted that decision. The food brought me to tears. Comfort at its finest. Absolutely delicious! The coconut pound cake had the perfect consistency and balance in sweetness. The portion size was amazing. Enough to share. I will be back. The women working up front are the sweetest. Just because someone has a serious face doesn't mean they are not a kind, caring and beautiful soul. Keep it up The Well! I also met the sweetest you men, Ringo in college at BSU he is taking up finance. He will make it far in his career. Always enjoy the now and people you meet.“
“I was one of the first to eat from here when it opened five years ago in the former D'Angelo's location. They food is outstanding, the service is friendly and the space is VERY clean.That's where the compliments stop unfortunately.Despite everywhere else in the area having reopened their dining areas, this location is still Take Out only for unexplained reasons. The McDonald's across the street was one of the first to close their dining space due to the Pandemic and was also one of the last to reopen theirs but they DID reopen their dining area.We're now almost two full years after the Pandemic ended but their dining space remains closed. The only possible explaination I can think of at this point is they're keeping the dining areas closed so they don't have to bother cleaning those spaces several times a day. Either way, they should have a sign posted letting people know if the dining area is permanently closed or no at this point.That aside, the prices on the entrees have been gradually increasing. When they first opened five years ago, the Oxtail plate came in three size options (Small, Medium and Large). In the summer of 2019 they announced due to rising prices on oxtail meat, they were dropping their Small and Large options for the Oxtail and would sell the Medium at a higher price. It started at $18 and is now $22. I like their Oxtail but I'm not willing to pay THAT much for it. I'm better off buying the meat and cooking it myself in that case.It's sad that they've decided to pass those rising costs onto their customers, most of whom live in the neighborhood--myself included. Other options have also had price increases in recent years. The pandemic sucked for everyone but and people get you need to be profitable to stay in business and pay your employees but this is really pushing it.One myth/rumor I've heard for a while that I can personally confirm is NOT true is some think the food is cooked at another location and brought there. This is NOT true. All food is cooked on site in the kitchen in the back. The food is SAFE, Sanitary and good. They also take custom requests on all orders within reason. For example if you want to mix and match certain items in the same plate, you can. Just ask.“
“Only one ?? Jamaican restaurant is the best in town. I lived in Chelsea and i drove all the way to the Boston one to get my white rice and curry goat. And a peanut punch. No to mention the oxtail with rice and peas I recommend ? only one to everyone who asked me for a restaurant to go eat.“
“I order takeout from Murl's when I want a balanced meal with Carribean flavors. The jerk chicken is seasoned beautifully, and they scoop extra of the sauce into the container when I order a plate so I can douse my rice in the deliciousness. The oxtail is always fall-off-the-bone tender and flavorful. The veggies are always seasoned perfectly, and cooked so that they still have a bite to them (never mushy)! The mac and cheese never disappoints. I am always satisfied ordering from here!! <3“
