They are open Thursday-Sunday and the service is amazing! I'm a creature of habit, so my go to meal is the jerk chicken plate with rice and peas, Mac, and cabbage. Whew! I always order a side of the jerk sauce for $1.50. It's a small portion, but packs a tremendous punch. Runs about $22. The ambience is always nice. It's clean. The bathroom is small and usually clean. The Jamaican music is vibing and it's always cold in there. A great spot to cool off and eat in the summer months. Your order is made freshly so be prepared to wait about 25 mins for your order. Best thing is to call before you go. They always package it up like a to-go order, no matter if you're eating there or not. Pro Tip: place the order over the phone before arriving. Eat it there or take it home. If you have time and want to sit and vibe, pull up, order, grab a Jamaican soda and wait for your food to come out piping hot. No Red Stripe is served. I wish they did!

I very much like certain Caribbean dishes - Jerk Chicken, Curried Goat or Chicken, Brown Stew…read moreChicken, Ackee & Salt Fish, Stewed Turkey Necks, and most of all, Oxtail! I have eaten at Da Ragge, La Palma, and Calypso Mama in Greensboro, Dixon's Jamaican in Burlington, and a few others. In this area, I've tried Outta D Kitchen, Ah Fiwi, & Taste Jamaica in WS. I finally got around to trying this spot a few times, which has been around for a while, the oldest Yelp review was over 16 years ago. They have received just over 2.5 reviews a year, but somehow are still here. I ordered the Oxtail, a favorite - called in the order, based on Yelp reviews this seemed the way to go. On another occasion I tried the Curry Goat. The Oxtail and Curry Goat were very good, tender and flavorful, and the serving size was reasonable. On one visit the cabbage was well seasoned, but rather bland on the other. The rice and peas were just ok, and the plantains lacked softness and sweetness. I almost certainly come again - I want to try the Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, the Pepper Steak, and for sure the Turkey Necks.

I then asked what do people order most and she answered that question. The beef patty was delicious! Wish I would have ordered one of each type. The curry goat had lots of flavor. The escovitch snapper was over cooked. The veggies on top were spicy and deliciously seasoned. The fish didn't have much flavor outside of the veggies on top of it. Great Jamaican food! I'll definitely be back!

I recently ordered from Da Reggae Spot in Greensboro. Here is my 2cents…read more The barbecue jerk wings were excellent, with a smoky flavor and spicy glaze. The beef patties were also delicious. The crust was perfect, and the filling was flavorful and authentic. I found the Jamaican Conch Fritters to be a bit overcooked, with an unexpected sweetness. The Sweet taste was okay..... It was just overcooked. Most disappointingly was the Ackee and Saltfish plate. The consistency was overly mushy, the inclusion of large cherry tomatoes was unexpected, and the cabbage was undercooked. Sidenote.....the rice and plantains were enjoyable. While I will not be ordering the Ackee and Saltfish again, I would give them a second try and order something else. #GratuityAdded #GreensboroEats #GreensboroJamaicanSpots #DaReggeSpot #GreensboroPlacestotry

The Jamaica Coast Restaurant is one of the Caribbean dinner experiences that I didn't know I had…read morebeen missing in Greensboro! Howver, I am so glad I found it. Thanks to Yelp! App., it identified that Jamaica Coast was less than two miles away from where I had been shopping around. I immediately headed over. Initially, I was a little reserved, because it was in a building that shared space with other restaurants and kitchens. I had never eaten from a place like that, but I was immediately put at ease, when I saw the setup. The restaurant is small, yet has a nice, Jamaican vibe and plenty of seating. However, I was the only one who dined in. Most of the customers were to-go orders. The chef, Noelle, recognized many of her customers, so she must get repeat business. She was cooking and taking orders at the time. Chef Noelle was on top of things. She explained that they prepare most of their dishes with everything coming in a bowl. Most things can be made vegetarian or vegan on the menu if you call ahead. I ordered a Jerk Portobello Mushroom Bowl and two Jamaican Vegetable Patties. The bowl came with the jerk mushrooms, rice and peas, cabbage, and two plantains. EVERYTHING tasted divine. I was pleasantly surprised at the meatiness and treatment of the baby portobello mushrooms. The food was not overdressed, it was definitely prepared to order, and I didn't have a long wait. I am super excited about this new gem I have found. They also cater events, have a Food Truck, and offer Brunch on Sundays. Yay! The Jamaica Coast Restaurant is Kiesha Speech-approved for sure! Please go have a taste, but don't forget to call ahead if you want something off the menu turned vegetarian. Chef Noelle said it would save time. :)

When we went the lady was working by herself so it was a little but it a wait before we were helped but the wait wasn't bad at all. The inside of the restaurant is pretty spacious and has a decent amount of seating. But pretty much all of the people who came in got their food to go. The wings were delicious though. I got the oxtail dry rub and the mango scotch bonnet and both were amazing.

The sweet older lady was polite working the counter. The gentleman that came out of the back to assist her was great. He was more than willing to answer anything I asked. I'm so glad that I tried the jerk chicken and the curry chicken. They were both so good that I was full before hitting my Mac and cheese. However I made myself try that and OMG sooo good. As a picky person when it comes to Mac & cheese I'd 100% get that again. The jerk chicken skin was the perfect taste. Everything for both dishes feel off the bone. I cleaned all of the bones it was so yummy. The feel was nice spot that I'd likely order from again in the future. Maybe eat outside on the patio. My only issue was needing more napkins. But overall YESSSSS.

When Blue Water Grille was proposed as a location for a work-related dinner gathering, I had never…read moreheard of it and was unaware we had such a quality establishment so close to downtown. It's hidden away off the main stretch, but easy to get to with parking on-site. When we arrived at 5pm, the restaurant was fairly empty and they were already set up and waiting for our group reservation. We were greeted by Freya, who had a great personality and provided fantastic service all evening while we were there. Can't speak highly enough of her! They have a comprehensive wine menu and a full bar. I started with a Lemon Drop Martini which was delicious, and later had a glass of Merlot as well which was tasty as well. They had warm fresh bread on the table with butter which was great since we were all very hungry. For my meal, I ordered the Halibut Large Plate. This was a lightly crisp blackened piece of Halibut topped with lump grab and a sauce, then served atop a piece of andouille sausage, asparagus, and creamy grits. There were SO MANY flavors perfectly balanced together here with a variety of textures to enjoy as well. I have nothing but good things to say about this. Blue Water Grille is fairly expensive and not somewhere you would come regularly, but for a special outing or a date night it is a great treat. The menu is seafood heavy and non-seafood items also pack a lot of flavor, so be aware that there are limited options for that picky eater in your party who perhaps wants a more plain chicken dish. As an aside - Someone in my party got the Mac & Cheese small plate and it looked fantastic. Definitely something I'm going to order next time!

We don't really know much about authentic Jamaican food so we don't have anything to compare it to but we expected the flavors to be a little bolder and thought the jerk chicken would be spicy. The oxtail was very mild and while the jerk chicken had good flavor, it wasn't spicy. We did get the last order of jerk chicken so maybe that affected the quality but it was mostly bone and we didn't get much meat. We also felt it was a little overpriced for what we received. Since we're not familiar with Jamaican food, we can't really say whether it was good or bad overall. It just wasn't quite what we expected.
