“Fantastic food with very great price. I was so impressed by the oxtail I had. It was so big volume with absolutely great stewed oxtail. my girlfriend usually can not eat too much, but she finished her super full box of food. People in the store was sooo sweet, give us so many instructions for food with smiling. Hope everyone can come to try this fantastic Jamaican food“
“This restaurant is popping with their stew peas and rice.. when in the Bronx I stop by and pick up a plate.. it’s very good and Munchie is very personable and offer good service.. I just love their stew peas which was referred to me by a friend years ago??❤️“
“The best food of any kind . The owners, and staff are the greatest. Safe, Clean well respected restaurant in Mt.vernon, NY. I E.A.T.S., almost everyday. Lol.. A vast variety of delicious foods and desserts too. So my recommendation.. is too E.A.T.S... One love✊?“
“Returned for take out and even better than I remembered. Moist jerk chicken with wonderful 'hotter' sauce. Good portion with rice and beans and steamed veggie. I must return to try the curried goat etc. (There are some tables but I suspect most of the biz is take out).“
“A very special place of warmth and true Jamaican hospitality in NYC. I have hosted several events here (3 cooking classes for students and a special pre-wedding fun "game night" party) and everyone loves generous-hearted Chef Mom, the delicious food she prepares and the wide open welcoming space. What a treat to have this gem in the middle of the city.“
“I cross the freakin bridge from NJ to go here... Regularly. They are better than the spots around me in North Jersey.1. There are super nice people working here and explain the dishes to you if you're not Jamaican and unfamiliar with the cuisine.2. Their portions for the price are easily 2x the places in north jersey.3. Their food is just better tasting than the other spots I've tried. The oxtail... Succulent and falling off the bone. The Jerk Chicken... Seasoned all the way down the bone and just heavenly.You will not be disappointed if you stop in here, 100% worth the stop.“
“Got some patties and they were delicious, but the standout part of the experience was the kindness I received from the cashier/POS staff!!! It was a lovely reminder how kindness and empathy trumps any other superficial experience. Made the food even more enjoyable! Thank you!“
“The only reason I give it 5 STAR b/c of The food is so amazing that I come all the way from Brooklyn at least couple days out the month!!!! As for the the staff some are unfriendly n bad attitude but that don’t stop me from coming back…KUDOS to the CHEF??“
“Don’t let the long line turn you away, this place is the real deal, they do the hustle and the line moves very quickly. The food is authentic and out of this world delicious. I’ll be smiling for days knowing you’re right across the street from where we are staying. Jamrock Jerk: Thanks for giving this island gyull a taste of home. You guys and gals rock! OneLove.“
“The restaurant is very spacious so there is usually a spot available if you want to eat in. The food here is unmatched! I’ve eaten at their Brooklyn location as well and they did not disappoint. The oxtail. The patties. The jerk chicken are all ????????“
“My friend brought me some J*** Chicken with Dark rice and sweet plantains. Unreal! So much taste, chicken was fresh, the plantains were delicious. I had gotten the hot sauce out of the fridge and didn't even need to use it, the spices were on point. I going to take our for tomorrow also I live 35 minutes away but this is worth the trip...Excellent!!!“
“Customer Service was great. I was in desperate need of some fried plantain (lol) and stoped here. When I got inside they said none was prepared. I explained how I didn’t want anything else that morning besides that. The lady in the front asked the Chef if he had any, he checked and they did. The chef made the plantain and it was done in no time. Im so appreciative because for them It was not about a customer only potentially spending a dollar on an order of plantain. They took the time to make someone’s day better with what ever inconveniences they might have had. Most restaurants would have said they don’t have it and wouldn’t even attempt to make more even if they could. Thank you guys and I will definitely be coming back to try things on the menu. I also ordered fried dumpling 10/10 and the plantain was perfect too lol.Declaimer: They were slow so if they can’t do it for you don’t be mad.“
“I’ve been here twice and gotten the oxtails with, plantains and rice and beans. The flavor is out of this world and the oxtail is incredibly tender. They were also generous with their portion sizes. I really enjoyed the meal so much! They offer a lunch special, medium and large size for dishes.“
“We went here for my birthday February 2020!!! The food, drinks and staff were AMAZING!!! I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to go back! The oxtail, rice and peas, Mac and cheese...even the side salad and plaintains were PERFECTION. The customer service made us feel like we were at a resort restaurant in Jamaica, they made us feel like royalty.“
“My first time in mount vernon NY. The Steam House was amazing. Our party of 8 were the only people in the place at the time. It felt like we had a private party. Attention to customer service was great and the food was even better. Highly “
“This is a great place to eat. Vendors are friendly and food is really good. The j*** chicken was my favorite (really hot, yes!) and the rice is soft, well cooked. They also have a variety of salad mix. The potato salad was really good. I'm not a fish eater but even the seafood smell good. Price is reasonable, I think it's 9$ a pound but less money if the weight is less. It's definitely worth it.Vegetarian options: They have a variety of mixes for salad.“
“I ordered off Uber eats and was very surprised by how nice the portion was especially for the price. The food was delicious. I got the jerk pork and also the barbecue pork ribs and both were fantastic. The rice and everything was just so well seasoned, and I’ll definitely be back. Side note I lowkey wish it came with fried plantains but nevertheless the food was AMAZING!!“
“Okay where is the " 10 stars" option? When I tell you their food is amazing ,I mean haands down amazing! I can hardly walk by without stopping to buy ,and I been gaining weight as a result of that even though I always choose to order with only vegetables, no rice. I anticipate Fridays when they cook the goat soup(Manish water) it's the best I ever had ,and am 39 years old lol. They are always very pleasant, and I like that because most places you go to ,the workers are always so rude and unpleasant,as a matter of fact that's how I ended up starting to buy food here,because I was frequent at another Jamaican Restaurant other the other side of the street a little walk down,and the gal that works there ever rude,and I decided to try this Restaurant instead, and I was forever hooked,thanks to bad customer service at another place, I found this gem. ?“
“Usually I don’t trust high ratings with only a few stars but I tried today while waiting on some work to get done and definitely left full and satisfied. Can definitely recommend their stew and fried chicken. Will be returning when next I’m in the area.“
“Talk about the best Jamaica restaurant in the Northeast Bronx. Whatever is on the menu, it’s finger licking. Good customer service . Fast service , you will be in and out .. They give you a lot of oxtail gravy lol . The steam fish , fry chicken and oxtail is a must when you go there .“
“Absolutely the one-and-only stop for authentic Jamaican patties! Flaky, golden brown and bursting with flavor, this independent shop makes everything fresh daily and efficiently serves customers who regularly line-up out the door. Vegetarian and meat options provide lots of choices and are always excellent.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available!Kid-friendliness: Kids love Jamaican patties!“
“For a person who has never tried oxtail before this place really did there thing on the oxtail very tender and a nice sweetness to it and the jerk chicken is very juicy not even dry just make sure if you don’t like spicy to add light jerk sauce because it really got a kick to it. Definitely coming “
“I have ordered both in the restaurant which is extremely small with no seating.I also had it delivered the food was well packaged.As it pertains to the food itself the food is well seasoned. The only dish I would state that needs a bit of a change is saltfish, and ackee whichwas a bit greasy and the dumplings needed to be fried a bit softer and needed a bit of seasoning. It is only on the breakfast menu, I would suggest to make this dish throughout the day.Otherwise, the food is great and I would highly recommend it.“
“There are many foods options to choose from, such as authentic Jamaican curry goat, tripe with beans and fried chicken are my faves - good portions with great taste. I swear someone's grandmother is in the kitchen putting in that work. I recommend this establishment and have gone back way over several times!!!“
“I love there curry goat very tasty and delicious.. Beef patties are good as well.. nice portion of food for ur buck.. love the guy who takes my order he is so respectful and always happy and loves his craft and I respect that.. EXTRA GRAVY PLEASE LOL“
“Pay attention to the address… the store is located under train. So after walking in from the street I immediately was greeted. I ordered two large oxtails one with rice n peas the other with Callaloo. The plates were heavy !! And made with love and respect … big up’s to the chef will be returning for more… and the prices were definitely reasonable. Good buy !!!!!!“
“I started posting reviews on my second visit to food locations that didn't live up to some of the hype. So the food here is very good. I had the pork. Very tasty and full of flavor. The chicken was mediocre for me and this is the second time I've had it. Also it wasn't burnt but tough. Mac and cheese was not worth the calories. But I'll still continue to try more of their dishes.“
“This area is full of Jamaican restaurants I tried most of them when I moved here about two months ago. This is the only one that I would recommend the food is always good and they give great portions. I have never seen a Jamaican restaurant that gives you so much oxtails. If you just moved to this area, you have to try this place. You will definitely love it.“
“I can’t count the number of times I’ve had the chicken soup delivered from here. It is so comforting, and the chicken falls off the bone (probably why sometimes you get lots of chicken and other times not as much). I have literally ordered just the soup and dealt with the cost of delivery plus tip being more than the soup itself - it’s that yummy ?Once in awhile I’ll crave patties and chicken soup so will order elsewhere (I don’t think Frank’s has patties), but the soup just isn’t as good as Frank’s.“
“Coming from Dallas , OMG food was soooo good I had to go back inside and let boss know… I was so pleased. Food is definitely tasty and not over powering which is a PLUS…Boss lady was patient and allowed to try the jerk chicken which was too spicy for me but it was definitely good… the flavors are really flavoring..Bbq chicken sauce is different and tasty . Tastes like it was made in house which I’m sure it was….Vegetarian options: Vegan sides like yams, boils okra, rice and peas.Kid-friendliness: Nice plant based options like yams, boiled tasty okra, rice and peas and other sides…“
“Absolutely love the fryed chicken and rice and beans with oxtail gravy. Service was as fast as any human could be with the quality of food. It's a bit small inside, no dining inside. But the quality of food makes up for that and awesome staff.“
“The food looks tasty, everytime I order from them the customer service is excellent. People are friendly. My only critique is that the size of the protein is too small. The chicken pieces are so tiny, as a hungry growing boy, I need more protein. One piece of chicken is done in 1 bite.Other than that, I recommend.“
“I like that they offer a $10 lunch special, including veg and plantain with a soda...but it's only chicken. But seriously...you not gonna oder just that! You gotta get a patty or festival or something else that catches your eye. I had the curry chicken (a little spice but good) and a beef patty, bc they were out of chicken. I ate almost everything...and I don't feel bad about it! Will visit again, but try to avoid the out of school kids.“
“Food was Goooood, so far we've tried a few Caribbean restaurants in the area...this by far the best.., so glad you had 2 veggie choices which we had 1 with each meal..will return. Hopefully the owner will offer Menus that has FOOD ITEMS AND prices on it, being able to see WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR IS IMPORTANT. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ASK about this“
