I'm not gonna lie this is the only place in Gwinnett I go to for Jamaican food. The food is always on point. If you want real authentic Caribbean food try them. Everything comes out hot and fresh and is always plated so beautifully. Nice and put together where you can tell they actually care. The seasoning is perfect just the right amount of spice where it has a little kick but still lets you enjoy all the flavor. I never have any complaints. the staff is always super friendly welcoming just good energy all around. They really make you feel comfortable kind of like family like you've been coming there forever. The music the energy everything just gives island vibes. Honestly I've tried other spots and nothing compares. This place does not miss. If you want real Jamaican food trust me. read more

The service and food is consistently subpar. There is nothing authentic in the flavor of their dishes. Set your expectations really low if you have a taste for island cuisine. This food is Jafaking not Jamaican . Their jerk chicken is more like joke chicken, and the curry chicken is more like scurry chicken as in the meat scurried quickly away from the seasonings. I gave it a go 5 different times. Never mind the money wasted at $17.00 a plate, it's that my taste buds and tummy suffered with each swallow of disappointment. read more

We found this place out of luck on the way to Atlanta. Everything here was really really good especially the jerk chicken. I ordered the goat, but everyone else had something else. Please come here if you're traveling to Atlanta from the north it's really worth it. read more

People are Jamaican and SO friendly. Food gets cooked daily from scratch. Food is delicious, love the oxtail read more

The first thing I noticed is that no one had on hairnets, no one. Then there was a hair outside of my food box. The food was good but could've used a little salt. The portion size was a chopped leg quarter, a corner of cabbage with slivered carrots and mostly rice and peas. This was $15.99. They were out of oxtails but most Jamaican restaurants I've gone to are always out of food or almost out. I was impressed that there were only men in the kitchen. It wasn't the best or worst Jamaican food I've ever eaten. I'd eat it again as long as they have on hairnets. read more

Great tasting Ox Tails and come here regularly for the jerk chicken. Great service and highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

The food is decent, but I wish they would keep up with their inventory. They always seem to sell out of the jerk chicken patties when it seems like this should be an easy fix if they were to just prepare more. read more

Just ordered the food to go, got home, and tasted it. So this is a pretty raw review. I ordered the oxtail and the goat curry. The oxtail came with rice and beans, steamed veggies and plantains. I asked for steamed veggies for goat curry and got double the portions. The portion size is huge! These two portions alone can easily feed 3-4 people. Such great values! Both the oxtail and goat curry are super tender (think fall off the bones tender) and well seasoned. The goat curry does have quite a bit of bones so be careful. The rice is soft and pillowy and the plantains are slightly sweet. The steamed veggies is good but needed a bit more salt. Service was fast and easy. The place is cute and there are plenty of seats. read more

always hits the spot. beef patties are phenomenal and perfectly spicy. the jerk chicken is always good but lots of bones so you gotta eat carefully (this being the reason for 4 stars and not 5) but the large amount of tender meat is worth it. ting soda also great. the people are very kind. sometimes there's a bit of a wait so if you want it togo i would recommend calling before you get there. read more

They never have beef patties, always disappointed I can understand running out bc it's a hot item but they never make enough and always either don't have any or it's gonna be 40 min wish there was another Jamaican place they must like to lose money read more

My wife and I decided to dine here for Valentine's Day. They had a special menu for this day. It consisted of lobster tails, scallops, shrimp, and for the sides I had broccoli rice & peas with Mac and cheese. When I tell you every bite was so succulent and seasoned to perfection literally melted in our mouths!!!! Also had my favorite drink on the side (Long Island ice tea) food was so good I forgot I had a drink. Fork did not go down until meal was demolished!!!! If you every in area check em out, thank me later read more

Let me start by saying that the jerk pork is the best! I tried it and it was amazing! I also love the rice and peas which adds extra flavor to it! read more

The food is great! Understand that all desserts are not made in house, some may need to be picked out from the shelf by the refrigerated drinks. I left mine on my first visit. read more

I'm disappointed in the beef patty. It tastes and looks like the frozen beef patties from Golden Krust. I thought this restaurant would be more authentic. Also, don't dine in the air isn't working in the restaurant. read more

Best ox tails I've ever had. I've never been disappointed. Is the service a little slow- yeah, it is. Do they run out of stuff- yeah, they do. Would I eat here every day if I could- heck yes. Wonderful people and better food read more

The food is excellent in here. The service is on point. The restaurants ambience is great. The food is really good. You need to come in and try it out real Jamaicans. Rice and peas and oxtail with fried plantain good food read more

Dinner platter serving appropriately sized. Service is smooth and efficient, even when very busy. Dining in there is a small area, but it seems they are expanding their space to include a larger dining area. Was truly shocked and impressed where they are located, considering the demographics of the area, but SPOT on in providing diversity, exposure, and enlightenment of another culture. I have ordered the chicken curry (with rice/peas, plantain, and deliciously prepared cabbage) and also the oxtail dinner with the same sides (little pricey), decent portion though and price pt I guess can be expected, given the high price of oxtails now, from when they were considered the bottom of the barrel. I highly recommend a visit and I will be returning. read more

Dropped in here for some good Jamaican food. My wife got the jerk chicken and I got the goat curry. The Flavor's were good but my dish seemed more like curry ox tail because there were more bones than meet. My wife's dish had a lot of bones as well. The prices are high for rice and bones. read more

What a yummy surprise! Smiling faces and warm greetings when you walk into this new AUTHENTIC Jamaican spot! You could tell they were all family they way they flowed naturally in the kitchen. We ordered Curry Chicken and Jerk Chicken. Both came with rice and beans, plantains and cabbage. The lunch portions were huge and only $7.99 during lunch lunch hours. read more

Curry was very flavorful but not very spicy, hot sauce made the whole dish complete. Service was excellent the kitchen was like a well oiled machine. Food was served as soon as it was done. read more

I got this food delivered through ubereats. I chose it because the reviews and photos on Yelp lead me to believe they had potential to be good! I tried calling the restaurant 3 times with no response unfortunately. My order was incorrect as well as this was supposed to be the veggie plate which doesn't reflect the description or images anywhere online for this establishment. They did however read my note for oxtail gravy which was nice, however that couldn't even save the lack of flavor. No herbs, salt or spices were found in this plate or tongue. Super disappointed and will not be trying again. read more

Blues Jamaican Restaurant - :( :( "Veggie Plate" - Caribbean Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Oh my goodness... This Jamaican place in Buford is AMAZING. The food comes in a container and you get a plastic fork, but that doesn't matter when you are having some of the tastiest food!! The curry chicken was fall off the bone tender , and had an amazing flavor with just the right amount of spicy. The veggies that come with it were also tasty. A friendly portion of rice is part of the deal here , which is great because all the juices from the chicken are all over the rice, so you'll be finishing up every grain of rice. It also comes with plantains , but next time I'll order an extra side because I LOVE plantains but it only came with two little slices I also ordered this veggie pocket thing that looks like an empanada, and although it isn't very photogenic, the flavor was nothing short of delicious. When I go again (probably this weekend ) I'll order the jerk chicken and see how good that one is!! If you're looking for Jamaican food... Scratch that. If you're looking for GOOD CHICKEN, stop by Blue's in Buford, sit down and relax while you enjoy their great flavors!! Better yet... Tell me when you go so I have another excuse to eat their food! @bluesjamaicanrestaurant_ga #rolieats #goodeats #goodfoods #jamaicanfood #currychicken #veggiepie #bufordfood #goingback #noregrets read more

Food was underwhelming... lacking flavor and freshness. Service was cool... nothing deserving a tip. Ambiance was okay. I was extremely disappointed based on the reviews. Went for lunch if that makes a difference. read more

Jerk pork tasted recycled, wasn't fresh. The rice and peas were ok. Not worth the money, especially after realizing that they forgot the coco bread for my son's patty. Have to make that drive to Lawrenceville and definitely won't return here. read more

First time here. Ordered the oxtails. They were very small especially compared to other restaurants. The sauce was so so. The plantains were sliced why I'm not sure but other restaurants give you the whole portion. I will not recommend or return. read more

Food and services is amazing.. The places is always clean and they are very welcoming. It is family base so you know they will treat you like family.. read more

I tired this restaurant for the first time the other day and I fell in love with it! The food was phenomenal and so was the staff. They have a wide variety of Jamaican food, I ordered the Jerk chicken with steamed vegetables. The chicken was so tender and juicy fell right of the bone and the steamed cabbage was seasoned perfectly. I also got a jerk chicken patty it was delicious the bread they used was a nice flakey bread that went great with the jerk chicken. I love this place and I will be returning! read more

Hmmm, the jury is still out on this one. I ordered oxtails and stew chicken..... not like super delicious, but not terrible. Kinda in the middle... and I don't even know if I would order again.... they were kinda neutral. I wanna give a 2nd chance, but, I'm not pressed. I'll get back to this one..... read more

Awesome choice. We ordered two plates 1. Oxtail with rice/peas and plantains. 2. Stew Chicken with rice/peas & plantains. On the side we had the coco bread and beef patty. (All Pictured) everything was delicious. I can't even begin to recommend which both very good. Each plate was served with a helping of cabbage also. Look forward to our next trip . read more

The service was disappointing. Called to place an over the phone order as it was our first time ordering from here. They answered the phone, put us on hold and never came back. Called two more times, no answer. Finally put in an online order. 5 curry goat and 1 curry chicken. Went to pick it up and there was not a single customer in the building. This was upsetting considering the experience we had with the phone issue. Then we found out that the curry goat orders were cancelled because they were out of goat. We went with the curry chicken instead. It would of been nice if they had called us so that we didn't have to wait for the new orders to be made. This took up so much time. The food tasted good, but the overall experience didn't help. I'm not sure if I will try again. By the time we got home and ate it we were underwhelmed overall. Especially considering how much we spent and the drive to pick it up. Maybe someone else will have better luck with them . read more

Got a few patty to go and OMG THEY WERE DELICIOUS!!!!! These's taste just like the ones from Jamaica We tasted the chicken and beef. Beef is a little spicer, but both were 10/10. Not sure why this place isn't 5 , but hopefully more people give this place a shot because they do NOT disappoint!!!!! read more

I'm extremely picky about my Jamaican food. My husband and son usually stop by after swim practice but bc I don't play about my jamaican food I've never gone in. I had been craving some curry chicken but I didn't believe a restaurant in Buford would give me the authentic taste I needed. I couldn't find time to drive to Stone Mountain so I caved in. My son loves the oxtail but nobody makes better oxtail than me so I would roll my eyes whenever he talked about it. Now I'm not saying their oxtail is better than mine but it's solid. That curry chicken was just what I needed and felt good to my soul. I now have a legit Jamaican restaurant... in Buford. I'll be back... kmt I'll have to sneak it though so my family doesn't know how much I enjoyed it ....I have to play it off. read more

By far the absolute WORST jamaican food i've ever had. The chicken did not have an authentic jerk flavor to it, rather, they tried to pour some type of sauce on it to make it tase like jerk. The rice and peas was old and stuck together. Also, the guy charged me for a large order rather than asking me first if that was what I wanted. I didn't even eat a third of the food before I put it in the garbage. Food was total trash! read more
