I ordered oxtail and a cod fish cake appetizer. They called to let me know they had no cod fish cakes and asked if I wanted a patty instead. I asked how many jerk wings would they be will be willing to substitute instead. The boss got on the phone and said he had cod fish and sent me very old very hard cod fish cakes. I think they can do better. The oxtail were delicious! read more

My Mom usually enjoy food from this place but not me but I decided to order since I was buying for her and I havenot order in two years when the food was bad back then. but today's Curry Goat was under cooked and not well seasoned at all. Since I order the same meal every time, it was easy to notice that the food was not good today. I'm going to lay off this place forever... My mothers stew chicken was decent but rice was mushy and overcooked read more

When I found out that they had Jamaican beef patties and soup I got really excited until I opened up the cap to my soup and there was hair is all in the inside of my soup read more

I called the restaurant to ask if they had breakfast left and their answer was yes. I proceeded to place the order through Uber eats and when I received it I was shocked. The plate was half empty and looked like the restaurant took left over scraps from other patrons to make this "dish". We called the restaurant to inquire about what happened and the man (I use that term loosely)on the phone proceeded to act a complete fool. When we said we ordered red bean soup he goes "yeah ..I know..we didn't have that so we sent cow foot or chicken soup". Never did it cross his mind to call us and tell us he didn't have what we ordered. He then proceeded to say if you don't like it then don't drink it! I'm definitely no longer ordering from this dump. read more

Buff Patty - Scraps of what should be ackee and salt fish - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I went here with my fiancé. I must say their patties are absolutely amazing. I ordered the jerk chicken and my fiancé had the beef pattie. They workers were extremely friendly. The patties taste very fresh, light and flaky. Definitely wish they were closer to me! read more

Wasn't what expected my brother told me about it order a shrimp rotti must of been four shrimps with tons of potatoes don't cheat the people as if they don't know read more

Their Roti is LOADED with potatoes and a small amount of meat and I was charged $20.00 for a small side order of oxtails; in addition to the food being less than seasoned. It cost me $32.00 to know I will NEVER patronized this establishment...smh poorly black owned. read more

Buff Patty - $20.00 for this. - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Some of the best patties in Brooklyn. I always stop by when I can. Only thing is the patties sell out fast sometimes. Also could use more veggie patty options. read more

Buff patty has really good authentic food. One of my favorites is the Oxtails with extra gravy on the rice and peas. The stew chicken is my second favorite dish. The patties are also good. read more

Don't do it! I repeat, don't do it! They will take advantage of you you by over charging or shrinking serving sizes, but one way or the other, you will get the short end of the stick. Brooklyn is filled with patty shops. Patronize their honest, fair-minded competitor. read more

Easy grab and go. The food is good and the only reason the place is still in business... the service could be Waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy better and should be. Again the food is very good! read more

Hello good day I made the mistake of going to a place that specializes in patties for some rasta pasta because the rasta pasta definitely was not the specialty and I wasted $14 on chicken rasta pasta and if I was to bring it back and say I don't like it I would have just probably heard some ignorant comment about how I already took it out and how old I already had it out and it's already too late and blah blah so it's my loss I might as well have taken that $14 and shoved It Up George Costanza's ass read more

I had the chance to visit this establishment on August 14, 2019 and it looked like a hole in the wall which was not a good thing. I had 3 beff patty which were hot, spicy, flaky and very tasty. The beef patties reminded me of Tastiees. As for the rest of the food that i ordered, it was tasteless, it was flavorless, i got more bones that meat. The services was horrible. The staff seem like they didn't know what customers services is. If you are going for the PATTIES great but be forth warned you eat more patties that their food. read more

I Wish I Could Give Zero Stars. This Place Is Horrid. I Ordered The Oxtails With Rice And Peas, Cabbage And Plantains. First Off The Food Was Cold, And The Oxtails Were Flavorless, Fatty And The Gravy Was Like Water. Among Other Things After Eating The Food I Was In The Bathroom 30 Minutes Later With Possible Food Poisoning. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!! read more

Definitely not the best patties around. Service? Ha. I have called for delivery, and been put on hold for half an hour. Multiple times. Nobody smiles at me. I receive grunts as responses. I can't help but wonder if it's because I'm not West Indian. I will say that the patties are satisfying, but sometimes I find myself wondering why the hell I've walked from work to be treated in such a way for a mediocre beef patty. I guess a girl just needs that West Indian treat once in a blue moon. I could go on about the steamy, uncomfortable, dark space, but let's be real. When you want a patty, you're not looking for ambience. You sure as hell aren't getting it here. Buff Patty...you gotta shape up! read more

I like the Jerk Chicken very much. Ackee and Saltfish and the Curry Goat is very nice too. For me it has always been a friendly and inviting place. read more

Apparently I've converted people to this place by recommending them for catering to our club event. The jerk chicken and the macaroni and cheese were the best sellers. (mac and cheese especially).They're completely budget friendly, nice and perfect for finger food catering too. I tried the jerk chicken and patties. I like the jerk chicken more. Though I really want to go try the mac and cheese and the curried goat. Woots! read more

Ive been patronizing this restaurant for many years, GREAT FOOD,however, if you order delivery it takes an hour or more, if you go in to order alot of times one of the guys that takes the order is very impatient and rude (ignores you to speak to other patrons), so in the most recent years I just order in advance and pickup that way I just check my order, pay and leave. Delicious Food but always poor front counter staff customer service from one particular employee. read more

We get our food to go. It's just been patties lately but they are always on point with their flavor. Both the beef and curry chicken are delicious. They are a good size with lots of filling. You can't go wrong with that. They have oxtail which is my hubby's obsession so he will have to try it and I'll be sure to update. Oh yes, they have champagne cola which is a must with my patty. The prices are right too, 2 patties and 2 drinks is less than $10. read more

I've ordered from this place for delivery twice. The first time me and my boyfriend ordered over $30 in food. The person who took the order was horrendous. She didn't want to repeat what I told her we wanted and when she did repeat it, she was actually missing something from the order. Then telling her the address, she couldn't seem to understand what I was telling her and I had to repeat it several times. Also when I told her to separate an order of curry goat and roti, she was very annoyed by it. When the delivery guy came to drop the food off, even he was annoyed when he realized we didn't know the price of the food and had to call the restaurant to find out how much we had to pay him. He even mentioned that this happens all the time. I was happy that at least most of the food was good even though we were not completely happy with the mac and cheese. In an attempt to give the restaurant another chance, today my boyfriend and I ordered yet again. We made an order of over $20 and the woman seemed to be having a difficult time in calculating how much it was (since this time we asked how much the order was). We then again asked for a curry goat roti and for it to be separated and this time was told there would be $1!!!!!!! additional charge to separate it. Who the hell charges an additional charge because you want your food separated? Their customer service (at least over the phone) is terrible. As much as we like a few dishes on their menu, I will never order from them again. They need to get their act together and act like they are serving people and not animals. It most certainly is not how you treat people who are supporting your business. Update: Waited an hour and 20 minutes for food and half the food was cold. And there were carrots and broccoli cooked down in my curry which was not in it before. read more

The rice was mushy and tasted strictly like pepper, the turkey wings was dry and they chopped one wing into three pieces for 20 sumthin dollars. First they gave me the wrong order then I noticed I paid for two juices and when I got home there was only 1.I was highly disappointed. I drove all the way from Manhattan on my lunch break to try this food, never again! read more

Buff Patty's I swear to fucking god, best little BBQ fried chicken pieces on the planet. How do they know that anything that comes in the wax paper little bags equates to dirty delicious? The pieces have this generous amount of fried goodness and fat with sweet sauce to cover. SOoooo good. Thank you lord. You can't miss the name in lights outside the building. You might think you'd want to, but no way. The ladies are sooo nice and you will love them even more when you start to eat what they are preparing. The eponymous patties are of course good and the meals always make me smile. There's a lot of love in this little restaurant. Jamaican baby, Buff Patties doesn't mess around. read more

Great service, excellent food. Staff is friendly. I had one customer come in behind me who said " hey baby give me a patty" she was served first. I complained and was told they knew her. So I asked if I could get special treatment if I said " hey baby?" They said ask anytime! So people I recommend "hey baby" to get your patties quickly! Very busy place but staff keeps everyone happy! read more

The food is good but when you order oxtail with rice and cabbage there is barley no cabbage and too much rice and hardly no meat you pay too much money for that it's like I'm paying for rice add more meat please.then your service will be good. read more

Buff Patty - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Some good stuff they have over at the Buff. Just like Angela, I've also tried the patties and the curry chicken and I really liked it. Yes, portions are pretty large for how much they charge you. I was completely full off the lunch-size portion. Another one of many little joints on Mrytle that usually goes unnoticed/tried. read more

Nice Jamaican spot! They serve all types of food from roti's to pattys to wings and etc. They're jerk chicken is very good. Employees are friendly and nice. Check them out if you love Caribbean food read more

Perhaps my favorite Jamaican restaurant in all of NYC. The place is run by very nice people and the food is great. I once took my parents to eat here and all they do is come back for the oxtail, and they're all the way out in flushing, queens. I enjoy eating their patties -- they are all good! read more

Worse food I've had in a long time. Staff wasn't much better either. Treat them like potholes and avoid at all costs!!!!

Always get delivery from door dash here & never a bad meal! Curry Chicken & stew chicken are my favorites.

I was so excited to be in Buff Patty, a Jamaican restaurant. ... and then I saw all the food choices that brought back so many memories. I had the oxtail with rice and peas and curried vegetables - sooo goooood!! ... and then I saw the escovitch fish and the curried goat, and now I can't wait to go back. I have already started telling my friends. As Jamaicans say: Big Up!! to Buff Patty. There are two locations, Brooklyn and Long Island. read more

i'm torn about the number of stars to award buff patty, because on one hand I really love their chicken patties - I mean, they are delicious. The crust is whitish, making me believe they don't put food coloring, which is typically added to patties to give it that golden crust (note this does not apply to their beef patties). The chicken is savory and tastes delicious. I normally order two and eat them right away. This will normally carry me through lunch and dinner and the price can't be beat for the value. The reason for my wanting to give this place lower stars is because whenever I eat these patties I inexplicably break out on my face and my eye swells up! I have no idea what they put in these things but I have to swear them off because something in it is simply not good for my body. (is it msg? (that would explain the addictive taste) is there something wrong with the meat? Is it the wheat, shortening or dye? I dunno - all I know is that I've done the testing by making sure every thing else is constant in my diet while eating these patties yet I still break out on my left cheek after consuming them and my eye goes bonkers. Besides the patties, I've had a fish dinner and substituted out the rice and peas for cabbage. It was decent but not spectacular. It was also not hot. My boyfriend got their chicken curry and rice and peas and wasn't impressed either. The final reason for the low stars is because I once inquired about the nutritional content of my chicken patty and was told they were only 250 calories by the server. Yah, that's probably inaccurate. Most people think patties are healthy and light meals (they can be if you just have one and leave out the hardo bread) but one patty (even chicken) is at least around 350 calories - so minus a star for misinforming customers. read more

Great food but don't every order delivery. I usually go there and pickup or eat at the restaurant but ordered delivery for the first time and it's been over an hour and I still haven't received it. Horrible delivery service but great food. Would have gave it 5 stars if delivery was faster. read more

In general the food is good. The special instructions were not followed. I asked for gravy on the rice but received it dry. Nonetheless I enjoyed the meal. read more

I had take out from here on Friday 10/24/2014,my boyfriend got there at 9:38pm, they close at 10pm, I said to myself oh no, the food will be cold and they probably will give me and him the scraps that's been, hanging around all day, I wanted curry shrimp it was finish, so I got the curry goat and peas and rice with steam cabbage and sweet plantains, my boyfriend had the steam king fish with peas and rice steam cabbage with sweet plantains, I must say the plantains was a bit hard and taste like they was fried to hard, but the rest of the food was delicious, I would recommend this place and I will be eating here again, I want to try the curry shrimp...and their Roti read more

Ordered breakfast from Buff Patty- ackee & saltfish and fried dumpling. I immediately noticed that there was waaayyy more ackee than saltfish. In fact, I could barely taste the saltfish which would explain why the taste was a bit off. I initally thought Buff Patty boiled out all of the salt out of the saltfish, but as I kept on eating, I realized that there was barely any saltfish in the dish and I was left with mounds of ackee. This was not the best that I ever had and it was not the worst. I would not order it again. When restaurants skimp on the salt fish and sell you a plate full of ackee that is telling of something else. read more

Buff Patty - Supposed to be ackee & saltfish, with barely any saltfish. - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Pass on the delivery service... Get off your ass and take a walk down myrtle. The food is amazing... My go to is the chicken curry, which is great. The jerk chicken is also very good. The roti is enormous.... Ask for the homemade hot sauce is you like a little kick. Depending on the season it cold be red, orange, yellow or green but it's always potent and delicious. The girls at the counter often leave something to be desired... I always wait for Michael, the owner, lest I get a fake nail or eyelash in my curry but all in all, buff patty is on my dinner rotation! read more

As a Jamaican in NYC, I'm very excited to find a Jamaican restaurant that sells good food, has good service, has everything advertised on the menu available, and meets you without a sour face. And for a cherry on top, a few tables to dine in and a clean restroom. Highly recommended. Great food 5 star oxtail 5 star roti (minus bones) 5 star barbecue chicken for the kid. And don't forget to ask for the homemade hot sauce. Excellent! read more

Tasty traditional style food always served at Buff Patty. The reason that I give Buff Patty 3 Stars is because of their Buff Prices. I bought an medium sized oxtail dinner yesterday... It costs $9.50 and consisted mostly of rice with a few pieces of oxtail on top. Rice is the cheapest thing that a restaurant can purchase for resale and they charge a premium for it. Not cool Buff Patty. If you conducted a food cost analysis on any of your dinner plates, you will find that you could serve the same food at a lower price and still enjoy a healthy profit margin. It's rice guys. One more thing, with all the money the store is making isn't it time for a make over? read more

They fired the chef that had been making them lose money lol. And hired someone that knows how to cook. My boyfriend had advised me that the food is much tastier. So far I only ate from them twice this year. I only got the curry chicken w/white rice & salad. Which is very good and filling. I haven't tried the other items on the menu...yet. But imma try the escovitch fish and their jerk chicken hopefully the jerk chicken is season through and through and spicy. Once I try those I will come back and update to give my honest opinion on them. read more

I eat the same thing every time I come here (oxtails with peas and rice) and only one time has it been nasty. It's a pretty good place. The only things is that the employees are rude but it's a Caribbean restaurant so what else could I expect. read more
