“If you are looking for amazing Jamaican food AND outstanding customer service, look no further! The owner only sells quality food and it is a family owned business. Amoya (hope I spelled it right) is mostly there serving the food whenever I go and she is an absolute pleasure to interact with. I can honestly say they serve their food with LOVE and GRACE. Money spent here is money well spent.“
“I called the restaurant today on my daughter’s birthday (2/26/24) to ask for a table for 5 people including two children. I was told there’s not enough seating for everyone but they would gladly accommodate us at the event space next door. I agreed. My family arrived at around 6 and the two ladies took our order and Yvonne took a few minutes to prepare the table for us. When she led us into the room we were so delighted and astounded! The place was so beautifully decorated, and she managed it in a very short time! All the food was delicious! She made my daughter feel so special, she danced with the girls and helped cut the cake! I was very lucky and blessed to have been given this wonderful memory! It was such a pleasure to meet Yvonne, she is so sweet and has such a good heart! I will definitely be back again soon!Dietary restrictions: Totally Vegan and plant based menu.Kid-friendliness: Yvonne was so sweet with my girls.“

“If it's one thing I appreciate from this place is the portions. Now a days it's hard to find good homemade type food for a decent price. But at Uncle Don's they don't skimp out. I love the sweet plantains. Rice and peas was a bit dry but the flavor is still there. Jerk chicken has flavor without overpowering everything else. The Spicy Beef Patty uff.. my favorite. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a great establishment for this community. It brings good & delicious carribean food to this part of Long Island. I highly recommend this spot“
“Good place to get some delicious food. J*** chicken with rice and peas was very delicious but be a little cautious with finding a few chopped bone pieces. Shrimp and chicken patties were delicious and flavorful too, with a very flaky crust. Friendly staff.“
“The trick with this place is you have to catch them around lunch time when that jerk chicken comes right off the grill and ask for the extra sauces on the side to take this experience to the ultimate level yummy! Also just a heads up they make great soups as well I've tried the chicken soup and others as well great on a cold day to help warm you up on the insides! Last but not least the jerk pork is where it's at as a nice side to your Oder to add a little more flavor and variety to your dish enjoy!“
“Stopped in here 2 days in a row. I'm a contractor doing a job in the area. Day one I had curry goat and rice and peas it was absolutely phenomenal. Day 2 I had j*** chicken with rice and peas and it was delicious. I will definitely go out of my way to get food from here it's delicious and authentic.“
“They did not have what I order but called and still fulfilled our order. I wish I took a picture of the food! Ordered the boneless jerk chicken, oxtail, rice&peas & Mac and it was delicious. Got sweet sauce and oxtail sauce on the rice. Tropical juices good too. Will order again!“
“Let's talk about Ashlee's Buffet. This place will always get 5 STARS from me. This is a to-go only location open till 10:30p.m. The food is always good the Oxtails honey the Oxtails are never a miss. When I say I run to this place twice a week, and I don't share my plate at all, because it's too good!!!! And did I mention it's make your own to go plate so no more begging for some more meat or gravy it's do it yourself. Also, the variety of Jamaican dishes is here for you to try for the first time or meet that craving. Check Them Out and mention Sharita's reviews lead you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!Vegetarian options: Many options availableDietary restrictions: Consult with restaurant.Parking: Parking available in lot and on the street“
“this is easily the best jerk chicken plate in rockaway, and it’s not even close. i ordered 5 jerk chicken dinners plus some sides, and the very helpful young man working hooked me up with great service, which is RARE in far rockaway. my whole order was ready in a couple of minutes, and mind you, he was getting fresh chicken right off the grill and chopping it up. the macaroni and cheese was perfect, not too cheesy and nicely seasoned, the rice and peas were cooked on point. honestly, just go get the food, you won’t regret it. hell, i’m about to go get lunch from there ? very good food that’s worth your money is gonna do it every single time!“
“I had the oxtail combo plate with fried chicken, baked Mac n cheese, cabbage and plantain and babyyyyyyyyy they did not disappoint! Okayyyy That oxtail legit fell off the bone and was super juicy and flavorful! The fried chicken had me licking my fingers, I’ve never had Mac and cheese as a sub from the rice and they didn’t skimp out at allll! I had a whole side of Mac n cheese! The perfect amount of cheese! The plantain and the cabbage tied everything together for that nice salty sweet mixture! Overall we can say I enjoyed my food and will be ordering again! Best Jamaican spot hands down!“
“I only order j*** pork & j*** chicken, and I most say that this is the BEST j*** chicken & pork I have EVER taste in America. I am hooked. It’s all about the flavor, and most restaurants just cook to sale, but Merrick J*** cook to please. They’re Potato pudding is good too.. not too sweet, but just right.Dietary restrictions: Not salty like most Jamaican restaurant.“
“The place is nice and the food is pretty good. The issue remains the same, the restaurant space is compact. Perhaps better in the summer time if there is outdoor space to help with seating etc. Overall, I had a great time, the music was lively and the energy of the staff and DJ was refreshing. I didn't like the fact that you don't get an actual receipt while dining at the tables (you do get one at the bar). So it's difficult to analyze what you're being charged. The fact that gratuity was included was not disclosed so you could tip twice if that wasn't your intention.“
