Hey ya'll!! Have had nothing but great food from this establishment. I'm sure the service in store is as amazing as the food tastes. The amount of food is always on the money. I be tried their curry goat, great, oxtail great, white rice fresh and the salad is good as well. I'm sure the rice and peas are good, because my partner likes it. She usually gets the steamed cabbage, which looks good as well. Definitely give them a try, worth every cent and some. Peace!! read more

A very good food. Really nice Jamaican food. The customer service of the people serving the food is really, really nice, and the place looked good inside. Prices fair. I would assume they are fair. Nothing bad to say about this establishment. read more

Authentic, delicious Jamaican cuisine served here. Their takeout service is quick too. I recommend their jerk chicken, oxtail, curry goat, curry chicken, and red peas soup. Consistently good and reasonably priced with good portions. Highly recommend Barbican Square. read more

The best Jamaican food in town. I love their oxtail gravy, fried chicken, brown stew chicken gravy and gungo rice especially. Quality, fresh, home style cooked food. You can miss me with Donna's, Dutch Pot, Cool Runnings, etc. You get a lot of food for $11! You know what they say...hole in the walls have the best food. This is a pick up your food and go style restaurant and it is not the most updated inside but that is OK. No frills or thrills just delicious food! Sometimes, you do have to wait because they can get really busy. A solution to that is to call prior to your visit. read more

Barbican Square Jamaican Restaurant - Jerk Chicken, rice & peas and steamed veggies - Caribbean Near Me - Miramar, Florida

I was told by a few other Jamaicans that this place had the best curried goat in town. So, we decided to try it. The restaurant is in a small shopping plaza with lots of parking. It is plain and clean with seats for dining in. But it seems popular for take-out meals (which is what we did). Servers were friendly. But at 5 p.m. on a Saturday they were out of boiled yams, bananas, and dumplings, as well as fried bammy. And they didn't have any steamed cabbage nor plantains. These are staple side dishes. And none were available early on a weekend night? One server told me to come at 11 a.m. to make sure I got what I wanted. Say what? Anyway, we got an order of curried goat (only one size available at $16), a side of jerk chicken, and a side of fried chicken. The jerk was nicely seasoned but did not come with any additional jerk sauce. The fried chicken was good and was accompanied by a sweetish sauce on the side. The goat was tender and seasoned nicely but a bit too salty for my taste, and definitely not the best in the area. (Though, no one can compete with my mother's curried goat. But since her stroke last year, she is not doing any cooking.) And we got enough salad (lettuce and such) and pigeon peas and rice with the curried goat that we did not need another side to accompany all the meats we bought. (Besides, they didn't have anything else that we wanted.) Our cost for the order was $31. Very reasonable. read more

A solid place for Jamaican food. The service was excellent, the lady was very apologetic for taking time since they were short and mentioned that they are currently hiring. We had the oxtails with rice and peas which is sold at MKP $25 that day. The plate was packed with food , and the oxtails well juicy and tender. I wish they were more seasoned. Rice and peas were good. We also had the curry goat with white rice which we loved. Very well seasoned and tender. White rice was good as well. Both plates had cabbage which were unseasoned and bland. Went to the trash. Additionally we got : The fried chicken (crispy and flavorful) Jerk wings (Terrible!) Fruit cake (was moist and tasted good) Overall it's a ok place to go if you are in the area. read more

Food right from yaad. This is made for authentic homegrown Jamaicans. It ain't watered down and it's not that fusion mess these young folks keep bragging about. read more

I recently ate dinner with my mom and sister at home from Barbican Square and this will absolutely go down in history of a core favorite memory of mine. My sister picked up the food. It was reasonably priced. I feel like I got a good value for what I paid for and I had left overs that I was able to take to work. Very happy and I will eating at Barbican Square again soon! read more

Ordered: Curried Goat, White Rice, and Steamed Vegetables Sweet Potato Pudding Jamaican Ginger Beer Felt for some "yaad food" as Jamaicans would say. I have a love-hate relationship with Barbican, they never have chicken breast available. Today I went for their curried goat. As always never a disappointment, the meat was well seasoned, the rice had a good consistency not hard nor soft (shelly). The and firm vegetable. Sweet potato is a no-no for me. It has no flavor to it, the consistency is very tight although it's a pudding and just does nothing for me! Service is acceptable, location is clean. Overall the food and quality is good here. read more

Best Jamaican food hands down!! You have to get there early otherwise most things are sold out.

My go too for Jamaican style fried chicken. I got mine with white rice and there mac salad. The fried chicken is always fresh and well seasoned. Sometimes there mac salad is a hit for miss but today it was great. Once they come back out with your plate they'll ask what type of gravy you want and make sure you get the fried chicken gravy all over. Very good meal! read more

The food is good. However, for a $28 oxtail plate they give u six small piece making $17 profit is ridiculous! Lower the price or give people more food for their money. read more

I went from bragging about this place to wondering should I ever return back here. I left here very disappointed. I came here for a lunch to get their jerk chicken lunch special. I arrived way before lunch ends at 2 o'clock. When I tried to order the lunch special the girl told me that they are out of jerk lunch special. I didn't get such a thing since she offered me the dinner price jerk. I could've understood if they were out completely but it seem to me that she wanted me to pay dinner price instead of lunch price which isn't fair. I told her that I am here way before lunch end why I cannot get it but she persist that they are out. The only different between lunch and dinner is the portion so why I couldn't get the a few pieces of jerk for lunch. Then when I asked for brown stew gravy on my rice she said that they don't have enough. Luckily, the other worker asked for the brown stew so I was able to see for myself that they had gravy but she refuse to give it to me. But I am the paying customer give me what I am requesting. To add that once I got home the food wasn't even good. So yeah I was a fan of Barbican but not anymore probably wont return back here. read more

Barbican has good food but they don't share a lot. If you were to compare barbican with other Jamaican restaurants, you would get more from the other restaurants. One great thing about them is if they run out of food, you're out of luck because they will not cook anymore. That's not typical of a Jamaican restaurant but you know the food is fresh! read more

Just great food. Tried the curry goat with rice and peas. Oxtail delicious. And the service is polite and fast. Will try even more next week. read more

Delicious Jamaican food! My family got the oxtail, brown stew chicken and jerk chicken. The oxtail is super fatty but tender and very flavorful. The meat basically falls off the bone. The brown stew chicken is a little sweet but very savory. The meat is juicy and also easily falls off the bone. I didn't get a chance to taste the jerk chicken but seeing how it was devoured, I figured it was good, so you can't go wrong with that either. In addition, you get a big portion for what you pay for so totally worth it. The only downfall, in my opinion, is that the rice and peas was a little dry. This spot has become my family's go-to. Get there early to order, if you have a big order, or in general because they sell out quick and often don't pick up the phone for phone orders read more

Great authentic Jamaican food, the best in Pembroke Pines and surrounding areas. Price is reasonable and the portion is good.

I went to the restaurant Saturday (11/11/2023) and because i told her no tip she just walked off which forced me to reach in and take my receipt and my food. I was totlly taken back . I was going to tip in cash but never had the opportunity to tell her . That is my last time visiting that place. To many ja restaurants around for me to be treated that way. The reason why The Dutch Pot is so successful is because of their customer service. Your not in Jamaica ...you cant be rude because you didn't get the tip where you thought it should be. read more

I love this place. Really amazing ladies here . Tara , and her crew is awesome, Always smiling and sweet if wasn't for them I would not come here , because when they're not here it's confusion . A tall young woman prepared my food while I paid got home this woman gave me 3 pieces of oxtail for $28 . Wicked who do things like this . Pissed me off . Now I know. But other then that it's great food . read more

the staff act like they better than us small portions jerk chicken nasty no spice at all the gravy sweet I thoroughly food away never again 6/25/24 read more

So overall I think the food here is good. I had to come twice in order to get a good fee for the place. I'd first found out about this place when I participated in an event at the smoothie shop next door and told myself that eventually I'd come back. For my first visit, I got the jerk wings and red beans and rice. I'd gotten there at about 2 and they were already out of cabbage and plantains. Since they were out of sides (they had salad but that is one thing I do not get from these types of restaurants), they didn't even offer a substitute. I saw this because they had macaroni salad but still wanted me to pay extra for it. While the red beans and rice was good, the jerk chicken was not; to me. I could tell that they put sugar (or too much of it) in the marinade/dry rub. There was no spice to it at all and when I did add hot sauce it only seemed to heighten it. Perhaps this was just an off day. I am very particular about things being sweet that are supposed to be savory. And jerk wings are not supposed to be sweet. They should be spicy. Now my second visit was way better. For one, I got there at about 11:30 and they had cabbage. Two, I'd learned the day before that they serve fried dumpling on Sunday's and they still had some when I got there. And lastly, the curry chicken was not sweet! I got the large and was able to eat off it that day, take some for lunch on Monday and on Tuesday. The fried dumpling was gone the same day and cooked to perfection. I will certainly come here again if for nothing more than the dumpling and/or curry chicken. I'd much rather to try something else though. Certainly won't be the jerk wings! read more

Traveled miles to try the food.. unfortunately nothing but just rice and bananas. Plus the atmosphere feels like no one wants to cook any day or any amount. Wouldn't waste my time coming in during opening hours. Probably still have rice and bananas if not hopefully just rice at least. read more

Good food, but they are holding oxtail ransom. It's like an endangered species. I will report back if I ever get any.

Awesome food. The curried goat and the red peas soup is a hit. Delicious the customer service is also awesome

I am traveler and whenever I come to Miami Florida I make it my business to eat here!!! Authentic Jamaican cuisine!!! The food is sooo fresh delicious and the portion they give you for the price you pay is amazingggggg!!! I can feed two people customer service is great!! I'm always greeted with a welcoming smile!!! THEE BEST PLACE IN PEMBROKE TO DINE!!!!!!!! read more

2nd time going to this restaurant well before closing and they are out of almost everything. I guess that's good for them and the people who got the food but how you out of main and very popular dishes at 1pm and you close after 5pm. I won't be attempting a 3rd visit. read more

It is OK. However customer service is something to me consider. Very very unfriendly at times. You can't ask for any extra gravy they never have it. General atmosphere...tense. And way too much rice not enough protein (meat)! read more

Best Jamaican food I have had. Id say everything tasted amazing and i'd definitely recommend going a little earlier to make sure they still have the food you want. They will sell out!! read more

This place is good, it's not much to look at and there is definitely limited seating but what separates this place from the rest is the great Jerk Chicken and Curry Chicken. Now, during lunch this place has a long line that at times wraps around outside, but they are fairly quick getting people in and out. As stated, the Jerk Chicken and Curry Chicken is delish and is basically what I come for. The cabbage is ok, not the worst nor the best, sometimes it seems the cabbage isn't as fresh as it should but again, bearable. I do wish they sold beef patties, but they do not. Again, not the best Jamaican place I have been to, but if your in the mood for really good Jerk Chicken, you won't be disappointed, but just know the other sides (Cabbage, Rice & Peas) are just ok. read more

They are STINGY with the oxtail gravy, but their food is absolute fire. Just ask Peter. He eats their jerk chicken like it's going out of style AND they give him more gravy than me. read more

If I can give 10 stars I would. Amazing oxtail and fried chicken. I've been coming here for years now and it never disappoints. The ladies working there are awesome too. Dear owner, we need CocaCola with oxtail. please put some on that fridge. And please please please hook it up with a little bit more oxtail since the price went up. Joking aside they are amazing. And like anything that is amazing you have to be patient waiting to get the food because it can get a little busy. read more

A Jaimaican friend recommend this place as having real Jaimaican food. Lunch had a line of 12 people, so that's a good sign. I'm not sure what's up with the A/C but it felt like it wasn't on, they have like 6 wall mounted fans mounted on the wall, which tells me the a/c is probably is always off. So takeout is recommended, no biggie. So I love some good jerk chicken, I had the lunch portion special that was $5.95. Basically it was like 2 drumsticks and 2 misc chicken pieces, nice portion for the price. You can order large size as well. It comes w peas and rice, cabbage or small salad and a drink. The chicken was really good, more like a stewed jerk. It had lots of seasoning which I like, you find it tucked under skin and stuff. Nice spice as well, not over heated. Some places do a light rub which defeats the purpose of jerk. Peas and rice were good, it's hard to mess that up. Tip.....Add jerk sauce to rice!! I also had a large beef soup which was good and hearty. It had dumplings, potato, carrot, yucca and some other unknown veggies and stuff. It was like stewed beef or maybe oxtail. It was $7 for large. it's a big seller. Almost all patrons got one this day. Overall a authentic Jamaican restaurant that is a very good. Takeout recommended. The staff was very friendly and respectful!! read more

I am giving this a one star not because the food is not good. I am a regular customer but was very turn off on 12/17/21 I watched a server shared lots of customer without wearing a mask and talking over the food. I spoke to her and she said I am sorry and continued sharing and talking without a mask. Everyone who entered the restaurant had their mask on and also the other servers. It appears that this particular server is connected to the owner in some way. during these COVID times this is unacceptable and not good hygiene. read more
