    Oxtail (Small)
    Rita G.

    First time to try authentic Jamaican food here in FL. It is very flavorful and tender oxtail . The jerk chicken is also delicious. Wasn't be able to take a photo of the spicy beef empanada which i also find good. Will be ordering here again .

    Oxtails rice & peas extra gravy on the rice with cabbage salad and spicy beef patty.

    Best jamaican around. And I lovvvve me my oxtails and Patty's. I wish they'd have chiken Patty's but I settle for the spicy beef anyway. Quick and reasonable take out. A must try.

    I went to Curly's on a whim, and it turned out to be one of the best Caribbean restaurants in the area that I've visited. I decided to try Curly's based on the excellent reviews, and I highly recommend checking out their lunch specials; affordable and delicious! The owner was very kind and even let us try the festival (fried cornbread), which was amazing!! Give them a try; you won't be disappointed. And to make things easier for them, consider calling in your order! Ambiance - bit small, mostly to-go orders but they still have bar stools and high tops!

    Best fried chicken ever. Jerk chicken is also good. Served by the pound. Suggest you call ahead to place your order. I have not tried anything else yet. Friendly service. Definitely recommend

    Curry chicken and empanadas are finger licking delicious!! If those dishes are any indication, the rest of their menu is bound to be as good. Also excellent selection of beverages beyond typical soda offerings.

    Something about rude phone services from a Caribbean spot makes me expect good food. So the service isn't rude as much as it is direct. You walk in (especially during lunch hours and first question will be, "did you call ahead?" Also expect they will quickly run out of your favorites! (Coworker raves about the goat - no way can I have that during lunch and not have a nap til the morning.) Sweet conch meat meets fiery chili peppers in this aromatic stew. Long simmering tenderizes the shellfish and results in a soup, laden with chunks of succulent conch meat and vegetables. Yasss when I see it has plantains! Some would think this would be perfect for winter (it is). But conch soup just feels right in the summer with a few fried dumplings to go. When thinking about lunch Call Ahead Call Ahead Call Ahead Call Ahead

    I've been to a handful of Jamaican spots and this surpasses them all! The oxtail and gravy was full of flavorful. It was a 10/10 in my book. Coming from a picky eater, you won't be disappointed.

There's extra vegetables in the dishes. The macaroni salad was to die for. The herbs were right on. The peas and rice were so tasty. I had to hold back from eating more and filling up. Complementary fried plantains were added to the order. The jerk chicken was incredibly tender and there was spicy sauce on the side, added to the chicken. We had not eaten oxtails before. Go figure! They were so Tender and falling off the bone. The sauce was excellent with added carrots and butter beans. So good. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes they offer. Service: Very friendly and attentive. Most people seem to order and carry out. We chose to eat in and they went out out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Ambience: Again, it's more of a carryout restaurant, but the restaurant itself is very clean and inviting. When I go back, I would like to sit down and eat in the restaurant with its colorful decor and reggae playing on the speakers again. Really enjoyed eating there and watching people go in and out with their takeout orders.

I followed my coworker to this Jamaican restaurant for lunch--and let me start with a disclaimer: if you plan on being productive after eating here, don't. Just take the rest of the day off now. I ordered the $10 fried chicken lunch special with extra gravy, rice and peas, and macaroni salad and washed it down with a pineapple ginger juice. Baby... I was FULL full. The kind of full where your laptop starts looking optional. I was overworked, overfed, and ready to slam my laptop shut and resume life Monday morning. The food was so good and so filling that I didn't even eat dinner that night. I had a cup of tea and went straight to bed--peacefully and without regret. All jokes aside, the food is excellent. Authentic Caribbean cooking, fresh, flavorful, and made with love--the kind that tastes like your Caribbean mother or grandmother cooked it herself. The service was wonderful, and the portions are generous. Whether you order a regular entrée or a lunch special, you will leave satisfied. Check them out--just don't say I didn't warn you. If you eat this for lunch, you are not working the rest of the day.

Be prepared to wait during lunchtime since it gets very crowded. Unfortunately, this recent visit in January may be my last. I ordered the stew peas and a half pound of jerk pork to go. The dining area is very open, and with the heavy lunch crowd, it felt uncomfortable having people standing so close while food was being served and packed. While the stew peas was okay, the jerk pork looked good but was dry and not tender at all. Even more concerning, by the second day the pork had developed a bad smell, which was very disappointing. I've always enjoyed coming here in the past, so this experience was upsetting. I hope they can improve the food quality and overall dining setup because this place has had a strong reputation for years.

Tasted just like any ol crock pot meat. Now, I've primarily been in Texas the last four months and prior to that, hadn't eaten at G K Dumplin a month or so prior but it was good. New cook or something? They need new training or let go and I don't feel a way about saying that cause the oxtails tasted like they didn't have any seasoning! And the veggies were wayyy too crunchy. Like barely any softness; I'm not used to them ever being cooked to tender but today was just ridiculous. I just remembered they didn't even include my plantains in my oxtails. And the jerk chicken lunch was disappointing. Great price, two pieces of "jerk chicken" with the sides, and a can drink. However, I ordered the chicken with oxtail gravy and what I got tasted like bbq chicken. Meat was tender but if I want bbq chicken, I'd go to a bbq restaurant. Service was off today as well. I waited a minute for the lady to get off the phone. She apologized and for some reason, I wasn't irritated but it was a while so I was definitely heading towards it. Please bring the old tried and true flavors back!

There was ample free parking right outside their doors. Inside, it is bright and clean. You order at one end of the counter where all the food is displayed. The menu is on the wall. We both chose their "small" brown stew chicken with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains. I always request a bit of extra gravy on top of the rice. The food is served in take out containers. And they were doing a lot of take out orders while we were there. But we chose to dine in. The chicken was tender. It's a bit messy to eat, but delicious with the brown gravy. The gravy had a slight kick. The rice and peas were able to sop up some of the gravy. The cabbage/veggies were mild. The plantains were sweet. As I said before, the portion was so large --even though it was the small size -- that we each had enough for another meal. Reasonable prices, good food, friendly staff, and large portions -- a winning combination.
