“If you like authentic Jamaican food with real spices, pepper and all that, this is the place to go. It’s very clean and well maintained. Thank you Bishop Lynne Middleton for introducing me to this amazing restaurant. Yes the food was delicious! I don’t normally eat outside fried chicken but I decided to give it try with rice & peas with oxtail gravy, callaloo. I enjoyed the meal for 2 days. Even my friend who ordered oxtail, she was raving about it as well. She said, “I should’ve ordered 3 more meals.” I’ll be returning there very soon with another friend who likes authentic Jamaican food. ?”

Dietary restrictions: Unsure, but they do have a menu for those who are vegetarian

Kid-friendliness: Yes, I would say a lot of teenagers and parents I would see there”

“Ran & Gui's Kitchen food truck (Truck was at Broken Bow Brewery) offers a delightful culinary experience, especially with their standout dry buffalo wings. The seasoning on these wings is expertly balanced, hitting all the right notes of flavor and spice. Additionally, their fresh collard greens are a must-try, cooked to perfection and bursting with freshness.”

“Having Italian Grandparents and mother, they always had cookies and Struffoli around their house in Jersey during Christmas. I’m so thankful to have found Artuso’s! Their cookies and Struffoli are awesome. Artuso’s has helped bring back memories! Thank y’all! A very satisfied North Carolina family! Merry Christmas 🎁🎄”

“Best Deli Sandwiches Ever, my kids and I were very Satisfied and Impressed by the Quality and Taste. We found a new Favorite spot in Town. I Highly recommend this Place!!✅”

“Customer Service was on point. New business in the area and they are making their mark. Authentic Jamaican food and the fried chicken is the best!! Not to mention the deli sandwiches are a good addition to the menu.”

“We decided to return to this lounge for the second time because we enjoyed the first visit.This visit different but mostly fun nonetheless.We sat for maybe 5-10 minutes because the bartender finished her conversation to attend to us.During those 5-10 minutes we enjoyed the Karaoke that was two rum punches which was a whopping $30.That threw me off a bit because on our first visit we order 6 drinks total for $50.Anyway, the rum punches were good, one was STRONG, the other was sweet but you could still taste the liquor.We were then greeted by a second bartender who was more pleasant than the first and more welcoming.She asked questions and checked on us to make sure we were okay.The dj was good but you can tell he’s old school which is fine because the car attracts crowds off all ages.The regulars there participating in the karaoke had great voices, especially the men.I asked about a food menu but was told that the kitchen was closed, this was about 11:30pm Friday night.They recommended a food truck that was parked next to the building that was affiliated with the lounge.The bathroom was very clean and well kept.

Parking: It’s best to take a cab or public transportation”

“The owner and staff is amazing the home fries eggs and bacon and toast if you're a potato person you're really being in love the portion is very big I'm more of a bacon person but 3 pieces was okay ??”

“The food was exceptional and it met and exceeded any expectations we have for a Portuguese restaurant. I’ve been traveling to Portugal for 34 years, this is not only authentic but top-notch execution of the most common Portuguese entrées. The staff was extremely attentive, and the service was great, they also have their own in-house pastry chef. The desserts were exceptional and when really needs to enjoy as many as possible with friends.”

“Been there and the pastry and ice cream is one of a kind. Karaoke Fridayz turned up, not to mention the friendly faces and vibes that makes you feel like you belong. Smoothies and green juice naturally blended.”

“I went to SCRV today for the first time after like a year of wanting to go. This is a fire place in the neighborhood that I probably won't go back to because of the people that goes. Dudes be standing on the wall instead of dancing...that's to say, the ratio is pretty good.. A downside (like the first sentence wasn't one) is it closes at 1 AM at least on Fridays. Furthermore...some of the the women are scheming, trying to sell you on the next spot (spoiler: $100 bottles that really cost 30-40 max which would be fine but... They also charge cover-they don't tell you that part.) Additionally, they'll surely call you broke if you opt out of being swindled.

TLDR: Go to SGRV but not wherever else anyone tell you to go. My honest opinion.”

“My brother's here is the best on that block..forget next door expensive sour food...I'll get my chicken over rice or ?? over rice...wedges so gd..always a gd vybz wen i buy from here...”

“Love the Oxtail, Rice and Peas , Jerk Chicken on point as well??

Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of space to park”

“I get so excited every time we get a chance to visit Oracabessa. This is my favorite go to spot for delicious, authentic, home style Jamaican food, that always hits the spot. Regardless the time of day, Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they gotcha! The food tastes like someone has poured love and magic into every bite and the portion sizes are Nice! While I have my faves, I totally recommend you try everything and see for yourself.

Did I mention they always host fish fry’s? You’re so lucky to have found them, enjoy!”

“me agrada mucho la atención y su comida”

“The best chicken wings you’ve never had!!!!
My first time trying these wings in 2008, l can say I wasn’t appreciative of its uniqueness but I never forgot its taste. Yesterday while at my hair appointment I decided to take a walk since it wasn’t far from where I was.

Just wow, it was actually even better than i remember.
Crispy, well done and the sugar just elevates this simple dish 🤤 Also NOTICE how I didn’t mention any other menu items, you can go ahead and try those at your own expense 😊

Bo Bo garden is not updated or upgraded, as this area is non gentrified and still has most of its old shops and establishments (which I personally love)
It is very important to stay organic and very you in a fast paced society & I commend businesses that stick to their original practices they know work for them

Anywhoooooo, if anyone tries these wings please tag me in your video and let me know what you think! You won’t regret it, I promise!

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor access”

“Great environment to go to”

“I come here pretty often they only take cash the owner and her daughters Are always very nice and very fast chicken wings egg rolls and lo mein and wonton soup is always on point food is always hot and there ice tea is brewed with real tea not that ice tea in a can that they dump loads of sugar on and they are open everyday but on tuesdays they open at 3pm”

“The best of everything! The men who work here are respectful I hope the never hire a woman. The store is clean, products on clear display. Friendly service, the food is made to order very good and just how you want it. They play good music for all to enjoy , I prefer this place over all others. The location is special to me because it is located where I used to get breakfast at all the time, the restaurant closed then the store opened. It’s definitely a minority owned business and it definitely serves the whole community”

“Gluten free people call early and ask for no crackers. �”

“I’m a cook, very picky about where I buy food for and for years would walk by & I never went to this place. Wasn’t until my longtime bestie and others co-signed - I went and have to say I enjoy the food!”

“Great food but lots of drunks nearby. Very small store but has alot of Mexican food which is tasty. Owner is rude but has a very hard working unpaid underage son working there who is valid.”

“Good southern food. I've never been in this spot and it was empty. Generous portions and the turkey wings, ribs, collard greens, corn bread and pinto never disappoint.”

“The best pancakes in MT Vernon, have them mixed with blueberries, the guy who makes it Roberto is a very nice guy, pleasure to deal with, always warm and friendly. No Drama pancakes.”

“Today I ordered salmon and white rice and I will tell you, that salmon was out of this world! It was seasoned with unions and it tasted absolutely delicious! I’ve never tasted salmon that good before. It was made just perfect!”

“I grew up on their food and to me this is the best Chinese food spot in Mount Vernon

Vegetarian options: They have what ever you want and more”

“Try the salmon and shrimp honey jerk with veggies. Has the right amount of spices!”

“I got a lot to say but it is best that you take the trip here and find out.
It is not a fancy place but it's one of those gems in the wall.

Fantastic pizza!”

“Great food but terrible customer service I absolutely love your restaurant the food is amazing! But honestly, some of your staff could really use hospitality training. There’s no reason I should be leaving upset just because an employee didn’t want to serve me over something as small as extra gravy. Without customers, there wouldn’t even be a business, so the service needs to reflect that.”

“The flavor is definitely different from the usual chicken over from most NYC locations. It’s delicious and hit the right spot! Definitely recommend you try their Mount Vernon, NY location. The Chef there is amazing and always polite on the phone when taking orders.”

“absolutely delicious food curtious staff all around great eats"!”

“Goodd food, Good Service 👍”

“Stumbled upon this place when I was looking for some Jamaican food to take home and this place served the best roti I have ever had, and I've had many. The jerk pork and chicken dinners were over the top too. The area is a little rough but the trip is worth it. This is my new go to spot whenever I am in the area. You definitely get your money's worth here. I guarantee you won't be sorry!”

“The employees are very attentive...I absolutely love their vibe and their welcoming nature....
But the manager(Female) is not pleasant at all..even towards the employees...I had gone today to do my regular and I made it up to the counter to order and she came from the back to do something and as soon as I and the ppl behind me seen her we exited the store...I hadn't a clue the people behind me were exiting for the same exact reason until we were all outside...

I will not go back while she's there EVER!!

HER ATTITUDE SUCKS!!

AND I WILL TELL OTHERS AS WELL IF SHE DOESNT GET HER NASTY ATTITUDE TOGETHER!!!”

“Fried chicken was delicious and hot.
Crispy, and surprisingly juicy, but the chicken itself lacked flavor
Fries were crispy and soggy , but overall everything was really good and amazingly priced .”

“Don’t listen to the negative reviews done by SPAM accounts. They’re always nice and every time I order boneless spare ribs they’re delicious. Way better than the other places in Mount ”

“Definitely a great way to represent culture by way of the stomach!! Anyone who can appreciate delicious homestyle West Indian food should come here!”

“Great food, good people. Unlike a previous reviewer stated, they did not close because the food was unsafe, the building is not safe due to a fire (not sure how that person didn't notice). Hopefully they come back soon and the building doesn't end up like most fire damaged places in Mount Vernon.”
