So I'm rounding up! Nothing terrible nor memorable…read more I had this delivered. I ordered lamb. They called stating it was not available and offered chicken instead. It could have been more juicy and seasoned. There were some dry bits. The cassava leaf was ordered sauce only. At some restaurants, that just means skip the rice. There was no protein in the sauce and it lacked seasoning and palm oil. I threw it in a pan and "doctored it up". This is not my intention for takeout. I don't think I would reorder.

Food was very authentic and had good flavor so if you're into this cuisine I would definitely recommend it. It is a small space inside but there is seating available so that you can enjoy the food fresh which I will say is definitely the way to go. The service was amazing. We found out about this place through someone's Instagram story and so they asked to see the picture and helped with what was on it from the menu and what else they recommended as first timers. They also helped with how to eat Fufu and the proper way in doing so. The staff was very friendly and honestly made the experience really good as it can sometimes be scary going to a new cuisine for the first time and not knowing what to expect!

Nothing fancy as far as the store is concerned, but I enjoyed speaking with other patrons as I waited. The deduction is due to menu pricing being different than actual pricing. Also, I was quoted 30-40 minutes but it was an hour. I just took out my laptop and got some work done. I would order ahead. The location is not close for me, but it's worth it!

However, upon entering, it was obvious that this is a spot frequented by the local African population and the food really delivered. We went with the jollof rice with jerk chicken, the Thiebou Djeun, and the Thiebou Guinar. All three were great, with my favorite being the jollof rice + jerk chicken combo being my favorite (although the guinar was a close second). The food was packed with so much flavor and just delicious!

We stopped in for lunch last week and we both ordered the Fried Red Snapper. It's served over rice…read morewith salad, veggies, and plantains. We waited 35 minutes for the absolute worst fish we've ever been served. It had be fried until it was so overcooked that it was impossible to eat the piece I had. The rice and veggies tasted good. The plantains were so dry we couldn't swallow them. My husband had the bigger piece of the fish (the head) so he was able to eat a bit of the fish. Unfortunately for him - he felt ill for a day or two from it. I warmed up my rice for dinner that night. And an hour later I was in the bathroom with horrible stomach distress. I then started sweating and then vomiting uncontrollably until I had purged all of that food. I felt better within an hour of getting sick. I definitely won't be trying this place again.

I'm rounding up because the oxtail was tasty but I was shocked by the tiny portion of food,…read moreespecially rice for $20. I was thinking this would be a full size portion but I received a tiny portion of rice with 2 plantains. One plantain was good the other was tiny and burnt. I had one oxtail on the smaller side with bone, one very small chunk of boneless oxtail meat, and one small chunk that was essentially boneless tendon texture and fat. While tasty, this is smallest oxtail and rice I've ever had for the price. The jollof was ok, definitely not worth $10 especially with the burnt crispy plantain. There was another vendor with jollof rice at Taste of Cincinnati with much bigger portions for much less but they didn't have oxtail which is why I tried this truck.

Standing ovation! I…read morestopped by after visiting a nearby nail salon and was immediately welcomed by the owner. He was genuinely friendly, accommodating with my order, and made me feel like a valued customer from the moment I walked in. While waiting for my food, we chatted about other Jamaican restaurants around Cincinnati. What stood out most was how highly he spoke of the competition. Instead of putting other restaurants down, he gave each one credit where it was due. That level of confidence and respect says a lot about both the owner and the business. I took a quick look around while I waited, and the restaurant was spotless. The space felt clean, comfortable, and inviting. I ordered my meal to go and had about a 30-minute drive home. When I finally opened my container, steam poured out and the food was still piping hot. That's the kind of freshness you hope for but don't always get! The only hiccup was that my macaroni and cheese was accidentally left out of my bag. I called the restaurant, and before I could even explain why I was calling, the owner immediately acknowledged the mistake. He apologized and assured me he'd remember me the next time I came in. His response was genuine and customer focused, which made the situation easy to overlook. Great hospitality, delicious fresh food, and excellent customer service. If this first visit is any indication, I'll definitely be back and next time, I'm getting extra mac and cheese!

This was my 4th time ordering from Yard Vybz, and unfortunately it will be my last…read more I drove 45 minutes round trip and spent $60 on food that ultimately ended up in the trash. We ordered jerk chicken wings, steamed cabbage, fried plantains, rice and peas, and three beef patties. The jerk chicken wings were unbelievably salty and completely inedible. It tasted like an entire bottle of salt had been dumped into the sauce. There was very little jerk flavor, just overwhelming salt. An order of 16 wings came with nothing but drums, not a single flat wing. The beef patties were hard, dried up, and tasted like they had been sitting in the warmer for hours. The fried plantains were just as disappointing. They were over-salted, undercooked, and inedible. The only items we were able to eat were the steamed cabbage and the rice and peas. I waited about an hour for my order. I've ordered here before and understand that it's cooked fresh, but this wait was excessive. No one checked in, gave an update, or reassured me that my food would be ready soon. I was genuinely left wondering if my order had been forgotten. There were also issues with the service. I asked for a Coke while waiting and didn't receive it until my food was handed to me. They also nearly forgot my beef patties until I asked about them. What's most disappointing is that my previous visits were much better, which is why I kept coming back. Unfortunately, this experience was so poor that I can't justify returning. I don't mind waiting for good food, but waiting an hour for food that was inedible is unacceptable. Between the excessive wait, poor communication, forgotten items, and food that ended up in the trash, this was a complete waste of time and money. Very disappointing experience.

I ordered the curry goat, which comes with 2 sides. I chose the fried okra and plantains. The curry goat had great flavor, but was very salty.

I'd love to have tried the oxtail.
