    **June 2025: Sunday Afternoon Visit** Wow! This was one of my favorite meals on my eight state roadtrip and kinda wished we ate there twice. The restaurant is located in a small shopping plaza and the restaurant is very casual. There are small and large size plates for patrons to enjoy, but my friend and I decided to get two small plates so we could try different proteins. -Small Oxtail Plate $14 - Holy cow! I was really surprised by how much meat we were given. In California we'd probably see half the amount and double the price and obviously it was tasty. The oxtail was tender -Small Chicken Curry Plate $11 - This chicken curry dish tastes like what my dad makes at home. The chicken is tender, and there was abundant vegetables that were soft and soaked up the curry juices Both order came with slaw and rice and worked well with the proteins. If you love flavor and at an affordable price A&D Jamaican will make you very happy. I hope if I get to visit again I'll get to try their goat meat! :D

    Want Jamaican? Head to Rapid City. Yes, in South Dakota. Easier than flying out to the Caribbean and you'll get to enjoy a different kind of nature in the surrounding areas. But I digress ... Stopped in for lunch one day and I have to admit, initially, I wasn't impressed because I was expecting crowds, not an empty restaurant. However, by the time I left, both the food and service had changed my mind. No table service. Place and grab your order at the counter. But the woman behind the counter was so friendly and patient as she was peppered with questions. She made sure we were happy with our order, both when ordering and after we had cleared our plates of every scrap of chicken and oxtail. Speaking of that - to say the food was flavorful or to see pics - just doesn't do the food justice. You'd have to visit, try it for yourself to feel how tender and juicy the meats were. How all the ingredients just blended so well together. And how generous the portion sizes are. In the pics, those are both small orders. I'm sure that Jamaican isn't what you would first think of when mentioning South Dakota - but visit A&D and it will be. If I didn't live on the West Coast, I'd definitely be a regular. Probably the duke.

    So good!!! I'm from CA and currently live in Chicago, but came to Rapid City on a roadtrip. The reviews convinced me to come and so glad I did. The brown stew pork and oxtail are SUPERB. We came here twice during our 4-day stay in rapid city. Good size portions and really kind people :)

    Large oxtail stew, and a side of pork brown stew.

    The food was amazing. The customer service was outstanding also. Lady at the front was super helpful. It was our first time experiencing Jamaican food. It's located any building or three restaurants are connected. This one was immediately to the right, small it's located any building or three restaurants are connected. This one was immediately to the right, small restaurant, love the cling in this and how quiet it was on a Sunday. There was a lot of takeout traffic on the day we were there. I had the oxtail stew which was flavorful and the portion size was worth the price. It came with rice and a great tasting sautéed cabbage mixed vegetables. I also had a side of brown pork stew. Another home run item lol. Both the pork and oxtail was super tender and melted in my mouth. My wife had the small Jerk chicken which she absolutely loved. That also came with the same sides as the large oxtail I had. Overall it was a great find before we headed to the airport.

    Walked in yesterday afternoon around 3pm and saw no one at the counter. I heard some shuffling in the back and shortly after a lady came out and asked if I have been here before. I told her no and she proceeded to tell me about how the dishes work here. FIRST: Meats. You would choose from oxtail, beef, goat curry, curry chicken etc. I choose the jerk chicken which she went to the back to chop it up for me (not sure why it's not out!?) SECOND: Rice. You would choose white rice or rice with beans. I choose rice with beans. THIRD: Cabbage. Yes please! I dined in and was the only person there the whole time. Delicious meal, felt like home cooked comfort food. I was a little disappointed at the jerk chicken. It was great tasting however the outside was rough and hard like its been reheated ton many times or overcooked. Otherwise, it was a great stop for lunch and would recommend.

    I don't give many 5 stars but I was wanting some good Ox Tail and I found it here of all places. They have a drive thru option. I walked in and placed my order. Very welcoming and ready to serve. The rice and beans was spot on. The sauce for the ox tail was spot on. The meat was braised and tender. The side of cabbage was so awesome. My wife ordered the jerk chicken. They offered to put the curry sauce over the rice too. All the flavors were great. Chicken was tender and had the flavors to make a good not over spicy jerk chicken.

    Small Ox Tail - delicious!

    Absolutely outstanding dining experience!…read more We tried a variety of small plates, and every dish had such incredible depth of flavor. I was especially impressed by the celery root being used as a focal point--it was unexpectedly delicious and beautifully executed. The pork belly literally melted in my mouth, and the sauce was perfection, even for someone who isn't usually a fan of bleu cheese. As someone who is gluten-free, I felt completely included. The crudités were so thoughtfully prepared that I didn't miss out on anything--although the aroma of the naan at the door definitely caught my attention in the best way! Our server, Drew, was fantastic--attentive without ever being intrusive. He understood gluten-free needs on a personal level (as a fellow celiac!), which made the experience feel extra comfortable and cared for. The drinks were beautifully paired with the eclectic fusion influences throughout the menu. When a place claims French inspiration, I expect the sauces to shine--and wow, they did not disappoint. Every plate was balanced, creative, and just so good. You can't go wrong here. We'll definitely be back!

    Yum! Called and placed a carry out order as I was staying across the street. I asked for a…read morerecommendation and the kimchi fried rice with chicken was the server's favorite dish. I can tell you it's now mine! It hit on all taste sensations. Salty, vinegary, hint of sweet too. The chicken gave me added protein and added an additional balance to the dish. The portion is generous and filling too. Get this. You won't be disappointed.

My husband's vegetable lasagna was saved by the mushroom gravy otherwise it lacked flavor.

He and his helper were polished, professional, kind, and so much fun! To enter the restaurant, you have to go through the lobby of the Alex Johnson hotel and take the elevator up to the top floor. You emerge from the elevator in a cozy foyer with enormous windows, and the restaurant is through a heavy wooden door to the right. Inside the restaurant, the decor is Art Deco, light and airy with tin ceilings and tall windows. Everything was immaculately maintained. The menu was limited that evening, but we still found everything we wanted (I am vegan, my companions were not) from starters to dessert. The only bad part was that it was our last night in Rapid City and we couldn't take our leftovers, so we just ate as much as we could. The serving sizes were generous without being over the top. We would 100% return to Vertex if we visit Rapid City again.
