I like the food

Fantastic the Best Yard/ Jamaican food in VA

Does anyoy know if they cater events?

I don't know, however I am sure if you call them they will be more than happy to accommodate or give concrete answer.

Is the curry spicy?

No. Its a mild yellow curry with more flavor than bite.

Slow!!! Only 1 cashier .... 1 fan... it’s hot

I love their food. And dnt mind the wait. Good things come to those who do.

Do yall sell roti? If so can i see a pic? And what kind do.you sell if so

They do, I never tried it tho.

Why are their worms in the oxtails

Are you taking any medicine for psychiatric disorders?🤔

Black owned business which is rare nowadays, Been eating here since 2011 and I notice a slight difference in Oxtail & cabbage proportion receiving less nowadays I also noticed the food is missing that savory taste that it once had....Still the best Jamaican restaurant in Richmond:-)

This place has the worst customer service and Everytime I get food from here it takes aExtremely long time I love the food but it’s absolutely the worst food place in Richmond for customer service . I don’t get why it’s always a line even if you call your food in on the phone I called 40 mins in advance still had to wait behind people

The jerk chicken was awesome! The food was fresh, and hot and well worth the price. If you want to eat true authentic Jamaican food this is the place to go. You might want to take it to go, because they dont have air conditioning. Way too hot to eat and enjoy your food. Quick and friendly service!

The complaints of rudeness and bad attitudes are true. They definitely don’t care about customer service.

The line was long and the place seemed popular so I was expecting to wait a little bit for the food. I was told it would take 15-20 minutes because along with goat curry, I also ordered the fried Fish & that is made to order. At 15 minutes, I asked the lady in the front, how much longer till my food would be ready. She sharply responds that she’d already told me it would take extra time. I say, “I know, I understand. Just wanted to know how much longer so I could go add time to my street parking”. She asks “well how long have you been waiting?” I say “10-15 minutes”. She then tells me that it’ll still be 15-20 minutes longer & that I could go wait in my car if I wanted. I ended up WAITING exactly 1 HOUR, from the time they took my order. Was the taste worth the wait? Nope!

Food good but space isn't used customers come last money come first. Leaking air conditioner above door going on 6 years and poor A/C in the Summer. Customers treated like cattle. Great food authenthic flavor but D - service/space.

This is a busy restaurant, and for good reason to. Authentic Jamaican cuisine at its best. The stewed oxtails were excellently prepared. I would go out of my way to eat it at this place again.

Food was okay. The jerk chicken was not cooked on a grill but was baked so it lacked the smoky jerk flavor I'm accustomed too. It was very spicy for those who like a kick. The rice and cabbage it came with was bland but not unpleasant. The coco bread and beef patty were good. Waited 20 min for food which I've found is typical for ethnic eateries.

If you're on a lunch break please be cautious.if the line not extremely long they have a bad way of communicating with their customers, After waiting 20 minutes for my order I was informed that it didn't have everything needed to fill my order. The sad part is I used to love this place this is my first time revisiting after over a year due to my last experience not being a good one.

great restaurant. The food is great, closest thing to the original you can find in Virginia. cons: smaller size restaurant so often line extends outside, the dining experience is lacking due to size also, but for them to offer it, is also a plus. pro: Real Jamaican cooking your food and communicating with the customers, cheap prices for the amount of food your getting, amazing wall art and at a perfect spot in the city. I recommend the island fry or Red Snapper.

The pepper steak is my favorite. The meat is tender and the gravy is perfect. The ten dollar portion is enough for two. The rice and peas delicious along with the cabbage. Don't forget the pineapple soda to quench your thirst.

It only took me 10 years to visit this place and damn was I missing out! The flavors were amazing! I had the beef party and island fry chicken and it was delicious. The island fry was actually sweet not spicy like most associate with Jamaican food. And the cabbage and beans and rice....😍😍😍😍. So good!!! This is one spot I will be coming back to.

I'm disappointed they have gotten so big they no longer get the orders correct. I love the food and been a customer since they opened, before they became popular, there is no reason the customer service has to be so poor. It saddens me because I want to support them and when they get the order correct, it's great.

Forgot the guys name that’s pretty much always at the register, but he’s always sweet and interacts with his customers very well. Came on a busy day, the line was out the door but everyone was very respectful and friendly. Didn’t have to wait long to get my phone, I’m a oxtail gyal so I always get the oxtail plate with rice and beans plus cabbage- the food is always delicious and filling. Also love the limeade and beef patties, the only thing I wish is that the patties were a little bit flaky on the top but that’s my personal preference lol. However, everything about the restaurant and service is awesome!!

At an average 4.4 rating, this place needs little to convince people to go here for some solid Jamaican food. The decor is fun and expressive. Murals on the walls really show off they passion in bringing a slice of Jamaica to Richmond. Prices are on par with what you get as well. $9 for large portions and about $2 for beef patties. Let's get into the food. The beef patty was perfectly cooked and with a good hint of spice. I also ordered the Island Fried Chicken. It was fried chicken smothered in island sauce. The sauce was sweet, but did not hide the savory fried chicken. If you're looking for a good representation of Jamaican food, try this place out.

Words like good or great are an understatement. You know a restaurant is good when you can eat their food countlessly and it still taste brand new and fresh to the tongue. That’s how I feel about this restaurant. The food is inexpensive, the menu is plentiful, and the service is efficient and courteous; My only wish is that the location was bigger so I could sit down there and live my life surrounded by good food and people with good taste
