    Brown Stew Oxtails - to go container
    Salih G.

    If you are anywhere in Berks County and want great Caribbean food, then there is no place better to go than Cherry's Jamaican Delight! We purchased 3 large platters (oxtail, curry goat, and jerk chicken) to share amongst my family and everyone absolutely loved the food. The oxtails were juicy, soft, and falling off the bones. The curry goat was flavorful, soft, and was balanced perfectly with the rice & beans. The jerked chicken was nice & spicy and, to my surprise, the chicken breast remained juicy! Strong work! From the delicious food, to the great staff and ambiance, I look forward to being a patron of Cherry's Jamaican' Delight for years to come.

    Instant hit! Stumbled on this place. Empty on a Sunday @ 1pm. A shame. Service was friendly. Not a huge menu, but a huge serving for the price. Jerk Chicken so good as were the rice and beans and plantains (2 small pcs). Awesome tables out front. Recommend!

    The carrot ginger drink and oxtail with mac and cheese and steamed seasoned cabbage mix

    I often find myself wondering how much time has passed and I haven't gone here in a long minute. But it took me a short second of a decision to reward myself with this delicacy after a good long week of responsibilities and recovery. I had to pick my go to order which is the oxtail and this time I tried it out with mac and cheese. This oxtail has always given me the best experience from tender, yet chewy meat off the bones to eat along with the wonderful spices and flavors of the sauces and the mix cabbage. The drink was great too. It makes me want to order it again just as I have done so at least 2-3 times already. It's almost too good to not get it. With the quick and fast service and warm smiles from the staff, I enjoyed my brief pickup in their humble chilled comforting place. Next time I want to try out their chicken flavored niblets and other drinks....along with another order of the ox tail haha.

    Mac and Cheese

    There had to be different cooks today making different recipes from the last time because what was this!!!! I came here today again on my way from VA to my house and ordered the exact same platter with Mac n cheese minus the beef patty. Eve thing was dry and I mean everything. The only thing that tasted almost the same was the rice and peas. The cabbage was super dry, Mac n cheese not made the same at all, and the chicken was dry but at least had the same flavor. I was craving this because it was just really decent last time and I got so disappointed. Like whyyyy was my cabbage so dry??? I know restaurants like this have different cooks but they all should try to stick to the same recipes of the restaurant so the food is always consistent. The photos on this review are from the first time I came.

    This spot is official. When you walk in it's like you've entered Jamaica with the music, the vibes, the pictures on the wall and even the placemats have Jamaican patois on them. I ordered over the phone at 7pm on a Monday and the lady on the phone said I could pick it up within 30 minutes. When I arrived there were about 3 people in line before me. I wasn't sure how the pick-up/ordering process went so I just waited in line. Once I finally got up to the window the lady told me I could've just walked up and got my order. Good to know for next time. Here's what I ordered: -Curried Chicken (small): I'm not a fan of spicy so I went with this dish. So glad I did because this was so good. Each item in the platter had its own flavor but they all blended well together. Nothing was too salty, which I definitely appreciated. Loved the chicken, fell off the bone. The rice had a nice hint of coconut to it. The vegetables, omg, the BEST. I wish they put more vegetables because they were off the chain. Will be ordering this again for sure. -Coco Bread: eh, not the best I've ever had. The edges were a bit hard but dipping in the curried sauce made it better. Probably won't order this again unless I ask that it's hot and fresh. -side of Candied Yams: taste like Thanksgiving. -side of Macaroni and Cheese: was just ok to me but my husband and son both loved it (they are Mac and cheese connoisseurs). -Pineapple Ginger "Sof Drink": basically a soda but with really good flavor. Doesn't taste sugary and a good balance between the pineapple and ginger flavors. Will order again. -Carrot Pineapple Twist: love that they make this concoction fresh in-house. I didn't ask for this but it was good. It seems like they juice carrots and pineapples because this was not sweet at all and didn't taste artificial. -Beef Patty: my husband ordered and said it was very flavorful and delicious. -Chicken Patty: my husband ordered and said he enjoyed this one better than the beef patty, but they were still both really good. Overall great experience. Not sure what took me so long to try this place. Will be back soon!

    Curried Chicken
    Lauren D.

    We decided to try this place on a whim - Wow this place blew us away. Both the jerk and curried chicken was so tender and falling off the bone! We ordered two small platters and a medium side of Mac and cheese and all exceeded our expectations. This was our first time at Cherry's and we will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend if you're in the mood for some tasty comfort food!

    Large oxtails, mac and cabbage
    B K.

    Ordered takeout tonight and it was perfect. Service was so friendly and welcoming. All food was prepared as good as anyone would hope for. Tails were tender. Chicken fell off the bone. Mac and cabbage were both on point. Desserts were solid as well. Pineapple upside down cake was The downside... was missing two items from my order. Tried to call a couple of times with no success. Not a big deal. It's a busy Friday night. It was one dessert and a small side. I'm 25 mins away. Wasn't worth it for the $6.50 to drive back out. All in all it's 5 stars all day if I get all of my items. It's a minor hiccup. My family will definitely continue going back to Cherry's and I've already recommended it to several friends.

    I love how strong the Jamaican vibe is at Cherry's. The seats outside are spray painted red, green, and black and they have tacky posters and quotes of famous Jamaicans adorning the walls. The place mats even have a glossary of common Jamaican slag and it all just adds to the charm of the place! That being said, the food is good! Another one of those local hole-in-the-walls where you know there is some grandma smoking a cigarette in the kitchen while stirring a huge pot of stew... That being said, food was solid! Recommended!

    Oxtail and curried goat large platters to go
    Antonina E.

    Let's start by announcing this was my first time enjoying (can we stress enjoying) Jamaican cuisine. Again, find friends that know what you're supposed to look for. Celebrate these beautiful cuisines, and be grateful for the opportunities we have to immerse ourselves in someone else's culture. Anyways, clearly I have no base for judgement, pero I have wanted oxtail for years now, don't ask me why it took that long, and here we were. But even better.... curried goat. I love curry, I love coconut, I now am dangerously aware that I love curried goat. And their rice and beans?! I honestly don't know how I haven't made it back yet. Anyways, I actually didn't love the oxtail. Turns out it is very reminiscent to beef stew, which I am not a fan of, so although I am glad I tried it, I wouldn't order again. My friend told me it was good, but definitely missing something that makes it a trademark oxtail dish. Also the steamed dumplings... are literally balls of hardened cornmeal. The way the woman explained it I assumed there would be meat/veg inside, so next time I'll pass on this. If you're like me and you love cabbage and vinegar, this is one of the best pieces of the plate. I've always heard goat can be tough (I'm italian.. we stick to lamb. Sorry, don't hate me), but this was not the case at all. It was flavorful and not tough in the least. And let me sign off by saying the woman taking our order was tremendously sweet and helpful once I noted this was my first adventure with Jamaican cuisine.

    Curry chicken - small
    Shannon P.

    Went here in acknowledgement of Jamaica's Independence Day. They had only three entree items available at 11:45 out of the entire menu board. Jerk chix, curry chix and stew chix. No traditional beverage just typical soft drinks found at Wawa or any corner store. No traditional cakes, desserts or sweets. I get the curry chix and the small looked like it could feed 3 people, lots of food. The rice and peas was very delicious as well as the plantain. The chicken though plentiful was not very flavorful. No ginger, no thyme, no eskallion... not saying they weren't in the dish I just didn't taste them. I don't think I will return however it wasn't the worst experience. I'm just looking for something that really transports me to Jamaica!

    Brown Stew Oxtail. Oxtail was perfect!
    Kevin E.

    Found this place on Yelp while in Wyomissing for a meeting. Very colorful and warm welcoming feeling when you walk in. I told the person behind the counter that this was our first visit and asked him what are they known for. He said their two top sellers were the Jerk Chicken and Oxtail. I got the oxtail and my co-worker got the Jerk Chicken. The oxtail was excellent and the beans and rice were exceptional as well. My co-worker loved his chicken. Definitely would recommend.

    This spot was AMAZING. I had a small jerk chicken and plantains. The jerk chicken serving was massive and so delicious. Plantains we're very good too. Staff was very nice and pleasant. Definitely would go again. 11/10.

    This is the SMALL version of the jerk chicken with rice, peas, cabbage and pantains. Delicious

    See all
