    Wow. This is a dining experience like no other. It's cheap, delicious, hot and made-to-order, with loco spices, herbs, veg and meat locally sourced. Nothing canned, dried, frozen. Barrington does it all, making all his own marinade, bbq on grills, and cooked up just the way that it's supposed to be. We loved the taste/flavors of the ox tail which was our favorite. The jerk chicken would have been the #1 but the ox tail was even mo betta. Service with a smile!! Thanks Barrington, you gotta bring your kitchen up to Sac so we can enjoy it everyday. If you're driving through Bakersfield, give it a go and you'll be happy you did. BTW, the Google Maps address in incorrect. Look it up on Yelp and go to that address.

    I started going to Barringtons years ago on Ming and even now that they've changed locations the service and the food are amazing!

    Jerk Chicken, Ox Tail

    My sister and I were craving jerk chicken and we are so glad we found this hidden gem! Their jerk chicken hit the spot, the ox tail was so soft and tender, and everything was so flavorful. The owner Barrington let us try the curry chicken too, which was also delicious! Thank you so much! We'll definitely be coming back.

    Barrington's Jamaican food used to be on Ming, now they are located in the swapmeet on Brundage. He is located in the back right corner. Counter top location, it looked immaculately clean and Barrington was pleasant company. I ordered the oxtail plate. The oxtail was well seasoned and fell off the bone. The rice and beans were a perfect texture and vehicle for the other items it was served with. The veggie side was like a braised or sautéed cabbage with carrot and bell pepper and tasted incredible. It also came with, plantain. Yo, the plantain was incredible, it was cooked to a fine sweetness that wasn't cloying, but went down delightfully with the char smokiness that came with it. This meal was fantastic and was exactly what I craved to hit the spot. I don't know why Barrington's Jamaican Kitchen doesn't have a line going through the swapmeet, but it absolutely should. Swing by at your soonest convenience, but the swapmeet closes at 7, and I believe he closes earlier than that at 6:30. If you call him the number still works even if the hours are wrong. Next time, I'm getting the Chicken, I'm interested in trying everything he makes.

    Brown Stew Chicken.

    Everything here is so tasty. My favorites are Brown Stew Chicken and Oxtails. Reasonable prices, very generous portions.

    Half jerk half chicken curry plate

    Food is amazing and is just as good as it has always been. The jerk chicken was seasoned to perfection and the curry chicken was soft and tender. Service has always been pleasant and welcoming as well. So happy that they are open again

    Barrington's Jamaican Kitchen - The flavor of jerk chicken is bomb. Really tasty. The cabbage stuff surprised my taste buds. A must try.

We got their jerk chicken and curry chicken plate. The red beans and rice were great and each of the chicken flavors were fantastic. This time, it came with a double portion of stewed cabbage rather than plantains and collard greens but they were so flavorful. All this food and a canned drink for $10, an unchanged price since 2018 is such a shock for this level of high quality food. 100% support this awesome local business.

Barrington's fits the bill for a casual stop for good value! We came Saturday afternoon around 12 and I got the chicken curry and jerk chicken combo with rice, cabbage, and plantains for $10. What a steal! I really enjoyed the chicken curry which was a fall of the bone drumstick with amazing flavor. The jerk chicken was not as flavorful and not as tender. I would skip this next time. My husband got the combo of oxtail and goat curry, which we were told wouldn't be ready for 30 minutes. We came back around for his combo which cost a bit more ~$16. He loved the oxtail but though the goat curry fell a bit short. Overall, great value and good food. Get the chicken curry & oxtail (weekends)!

First the restaurant has a very warm and inviting atmosphere. When we first arrived the waitress was very nice and sat us down right away. So many different items we wanted to try and will need to come back. Ended up getting the latin friend chicken, seafood mixta, boneless pork chops and the brazillian trip tip. The fried chicken came out first and was super moist and crunchy which was a hit with everyone. Seafood mixta came out super hot so took some time to cool down, but was full of various seafood and the soup base was very good. Used the bread to soak up the soup. Very hearty and would be great during winter time. The pork chops were good but not a favorite. The tri tip was grilled perfectly medium-rare, but what made the meal up a notch was the chimichurri sauce. Everyone at the table that tried it also loved the sauce. Almost forgot to mention we got the rice, vegetables, black beans and sweet potato fries. The sides were OK but the sweet potato fries were definitely a would get again item. It had just enough crispness and sweetness not to mention the ketchup sauce that has a nice kick to it. Highly recommend that one. This place is very good and would definitely come back again when in the downtown area. Would like to try the other seafood options.

We had empenadas, jerk chicken, arepas, fried shrimp, and a side of beans with plantains. It was all pretty good, but nothing really blew me away. I really like the jerk sauce on the chicken, but the chicken itself was just a slow cooked breast without much flavor or texture. The arepas were just cornmeal and cheese, without any of the other ingredients I've usually seen in the past (although they did come with a tasty green salsa). I think my favorite item was the salt and pepper shrimp, which had a really good flavor. Plantains and beans are also delicious. There were a few other dishes we wanted to try, such as the ceviche, but unfortunately they were out of it that night. I would come back again to try some other dishes in the future.

One thing I really noticed both times I've been here is how clean and well cared for the restaurant is. Everything was wiped down, organized, and spotless. You can tell they stay on top of cleaning and are really meticulous about taking care of the place, which I appreciate. Amazing food, great service, and a very clean restaurant. Highly recommend!! we'll definitely be back!
