“I love eating here. It's quite possibly the best Jamaican food in the area and in Paterson. There aren't too many cooks in the kitchen, so the quality control is high. The consistency of their fresh food is what makes me keep coming back.In my visit earlier today, they gave me the privilege to taste their newest food item, protein soup. This bean based soup is savory without using any meat. It's perfect for a hearty snack or perfect for after a workout.“
“We went there yesterday to celebrate my friends birthday and wow what an amazing experience! The food was great I had chicharron Monfongo. The staff came with tamboras y guira to sing HB. Then we went to the club site.Our waiter Ray was absolutely the best, always checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely ask for Ray when you visit Bonfire.“
“The only issue was trying to get someone to speak English on the phone when I called. After talking to 3 different females, the fourth one spoke English.And the valley people lost my car keys ticket. I had to go thru all the keys to fi d mine.“
“SO GOOD AND DELICIOUS ? I’m so glad to have met fellow Montclair State University alum Andrew Barley who told me about his restaurant. I said I would come try it out and I’m not the least bit disappointed and neither will you be anything but fully satisfied. I can’t wait to come back and try more things on the menu which means I will be back A WHOLE LOT! Whether you are vegan/vegetarian or just love good food look no further for THE BEST Caribbean and flavorful dishes in Essex County, New Jersey?️??—————Sidebar?Be prepared for possible parking delays depending on what day/time you decide to come✅And so nice to have met Tessa and Mama Barley???“
“An awesome super friendly place to come. Welcomes everyone. Very unique place. The grill has a Caribbean flare, with curried onion burgers and stewed chicken. They make their rum punches on site and they're refreshing and taste authentic. They have many events and lots of live music. The bar is ridiculously clean. Can't really go wrong here, whether you're flying solo or running with friends. Can even bring kids earlier in the night.If you like cheese steak get the J*** cheese steak! Crazy good comfort food that one.And the service is super friendly!“
“I've worked pretty close to this spot for yrs and never knew it existed (rarely take Broadway), my crew and I are working a job right up the street and decided to check it out. I've tried pollo guisado, carne guisado and of course pernil (I'd eat it everyday of my life if I could) and ea dish was outta this world. Empanadas, chicharron and maduro are all excellent too! The staff is always friendly, the food is always fresh/delicious/hot and the prices are more than fair. Once again...mom/pop spots reign supreme!!“
“We came for the Mofongo and got surprised by the Yuca appetizer, it tasted amazingThe mofongo was very flavorful too!One of the best Dominican spots, recommend to check it out. The food tastes like it belongs at a very upscale restaurant in Manhattan.“
“What a great place... Every time I go it's like I enter a store in Colombia for a moment, you breathe Colombian air! The people who serve are very friendly (there is a boy who always has a smile for the customers), I love the food they sell there, ufff it is delicious!!!!I go very often to buy cheese bread, the 9 am type is warm and super spongy. I really want to congratulate the staff for doing their job very well.PS: It's incredible but every time I go to the market Colombian music plays: cumbia, salsa, merengue, etc., good for that! My only small recommendation is to turn down the music a little since sometimes it sounds very loud.“
“My partner and I decided to try this place based on the reviews and let me tell you it did NOT disappoint! We ordered the large jerk chicken meal, macaroni and cheese, and small chicken soup! This is a hole in the wall spot! Our food was DELICIOUS! I will 100% be ordering again but a LARGE chicken soup. The soup had so much flavor and the chicken just slipped off the bone! The mac also had so much flavor and was so good! The jerk chicken was a bit spicy for me but I don't have a high tolerance to spice. My partner said it was good! He couldn't decide what part was his favorite and said he would go back again! The service was great! Next time you get gas, help yourself to some hearty, home cooked Jamaican food!!“
“Oxtails rice and peas with cabbage and plantains was a good . This was my 1st time eating here and they definitely did not disappoint.Nice size portions, so flavorful,oxtails were so tender and juicy ,everything was seasoned to perfection, plantains we're actually sweet just the way I like them and the lady who answered the phone was very polite .I will be ordering again“
“We went for Happy Hour and tried 4 appetizers. The beef empanadas were a good size, filled with beef and veggies. Was delicious. Come 4 in an order. Also tried the Yuka cheese sticks and I loved them. Soft and go great with the creamy side sauce. The jerk shrimp was also delicious with the warm bread it brings. Wings were good but a bit spicy for me since currently I cant eat anything spicy. Overall was a great meal and our waitress Brianna was very attentive. Will definitely be back.“
“It is with great pride and joy that I hereby share my true reflections, as it relates to my experience, being a customer at Caribbean Grill.First and foremost, I must make it clear that I am all of 100% a domesticated male, who is extremely happy that I took the time-out to learn the dynamics of being a mature responsible adult, and enduring the painstaking sacrifice of doing things the right and proper way.....If I might say so myself, I do possess exceptional talents in the kitchen, and can turn the simplest of meals in mouth-watering delicacies.That being said, the very first time I visited Caribbean Grill, I purchased a vast array of dishes and decided to have a feast, it was on my birthday, 2023.The result ? I was literally blown away by the iconic authentic representation of the cultural Jamaican dishes?I had purchased Jerk Chicken, Curried Chicken, Brown-Stewed Fish, Oxtail, Ackee and Saltfish, Rice and Peas, Callaloo and Saltfish, Fried Dumplings, and was treated to delicious slices of fried plantains on the side...(I know I must be causing somebody's mouth to be watering just about now...Lol)I also purchased a variety of natural juices, namely Beetroot, Carrot, and other types of "strong-back" punch...?I don't think I need to tell anyone that I had a feast?. The food was truly awesome.I had also purchased Jamaican style Rum Cake (some folks call it "brown cake"), Potato Pudding, and sorrel, considering the fact that my birthday falls into the last and best month of the year...Lol.Nadia and her staff are representing Yard (Jamaica) with high standards, excellent service, and the amazing quality of the food she serves says it all...Since my initial visit and purchases, for me, ALL roads leads to Caribbean Grill, located in Montclair, New Jersey. I now go there every week.The food is truly awesome, and the taste will naturally remind you of "Jamaica", and the fact that, as the Jamaican saying goes, "No Weh Nuh Better Than Yard".Blessed love to one and all..?Nadia, may God continue to bless and keep you, and may you continue to keep the Jamaican flag flying high..?.One Love...?“
“This food is the best tasting Jamaican food in America. I just came from.Jerk’d picking up my dinner on a Friday night. I wanted some that tasted home-cooked. I wanted to find a clean, amazing atmosphere and I wanted to find delicious food. Well that’s what I received. I can’t speak enough about this amazing restaurant. I had the jerk salmon, the sweet fried plantains, the collard greens and the beans and rice, and I had to have a vegan patty on the side. And chocolate chip cookies for dessert I might add. Every morsel of food is absolutely divine. This restaurant will not disappoint. And their customer service is absolutely magnificent. Thank you all for providing amazing food. That’s convenient to my house. You will see me regularly.“
“OH! MY! GOD!!!! I just ate there today for the first time taking a risk and OMG it was SO GOOD!!! Also, the restaraunt is very clean and I love the decor on the inside. Small, intimate, but very nice and welcoming. I had fried fish and Yuca and it was absolutely divine“
“I’ve had this location cater a gathering for me at least 2 times and each time has been a hit! Friends always ask me where I got the food from. The staff is friendly, professional and they know how to cook! I appreciate all of their help and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!“
“Aside from the place looking rundown the food was amazing my bf and his mom order a chicken and beef empanada and it was fresh and said was good I however ordered there empanada Supreme which they make on the spot and I did my vegan style no meat and was one of the best empanadas I ever had. You do have a choice to have it with chosen beef or beans as well but if you go here you should deff try the empanada Supreme. I would definitely come back here if I'm ever in the area again.Vegetarian options: The empanada Supreme without any of the protein option or you can get the bean options I did not. Due to other dietary restrictions on my end.Dietary restrictions: Can adjust to your liking if your vegitarian“
“Dev’s has some of the best oxtail flavor in Essex county. Trust me readers I had to make a review on this place because I’ve lived in jersey all my life and there’s nothing I mean nothing like devs oxtail. It’s spicy ?️ savory and flavorful. Don’t hesitate to try these oxtails don’t even think just go and buy a large. Trust me people! I beg you! You’re doing a disservice not to try them at least.The downside is I was eating inside of devs and I saw roaches I haven’t seen a roach in years so I was shocked, didn’t stop eating my food though I finished it and said I can’t comeback after I was done. This made me angry ?because I really love the oxtails. I’m tempting to go back as to that was a few years back but I just can’t and it’s hurting bad because there’s nothing close to the oxtail. I’m what you call a raving fan when something is good it’s good. People’s choice golden crust tasty you name them all, none can touch devs oxtail. I’ve been to all the spots and this is number 1. Munchies in south orange was good too but she closed so now I’m starving out here. The owners of dev do something renovate find another location your product is award winning. Never change if they don’t like spice then let them go else where.“
“Overall food is good and decent portions. My main complaint is that it’s inconsistent. I’ve had food from here multiple times, mainly due to convenience but stopped going for a while when I realized the food wasn’t always made the same. The rice, cabbage etc is the same but I’ve had oxtail, goat, curry chicken, stew chicken, ackee & saltfish and seems like sometimes they’re a hit and other times a miss. I haven’t put my finger on if it’s different chefs or the same one changing it up on me.“
