We entered through the front door which seemed like the back door as we walked around. The inside was a bit cluttered. There were about two booths to sit in. The food was on display, beef patties and other food in warming trays. Service: The attendant was very helpful pointed out the menu asked if we had questions. Food: I ordered jerk chicken and festival. Something I haven't had in a while. My husband got the oxtail and rice and peas with plantain. The food overall was good. I came here because it was highly recommended online. I probably won't recommend this spot. I can very visual when I go to a place and this place needs some tidying up.

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.

Jerk Paradise offers a fun and decent experience with its African dishes. I liked the fact that…read morespoons/forks were not used to eat these dishes since it's a "African thing" :) this made the experience great to try. The egusi and fufu were flavorful but lack the depth expected from traditional recipes (the consistency of the egusi is definitely an acquired taste - not sure I can ever get use to that though). The jollof rice was vibrant and well-seasoned. I'm not an okra fan but the okra soup was really seasoned good but the slimy texture might not be for everyone. The salmon Rasta pasta was well cooked as the noodles were not super soft and mushy and the Salmon was delicious. The service was average, and the ambiance was chill. Overall, while the food has potential, it could benefit from more refinement. Refer to the menu for other options :)

I'm very torn writing this review, if I could I'd officially rate my experience as a 3.5, but alas…read more My first experience at Houte's was earlier this summer, I stopped by to pick up the jerk chicken lunch special. The chicken was great and the portions were "healthy" for $10.... 5-Star trip. Today I stopped by to try out the oxtail lunch combo, the flavors and smells were phenomenal, but it's the least tender oxtail I've ever had. I'm used to fall off the bone, and this required some considerable effort to get the meat off the bone. Service wise it's a good truck, so it's standard. But there is an semi-covered outdoor dining area if you'd like to stay and eat, though I'm not sure if they offer table service in those circumstances.

Great homey Jamaican restaurant! I came here a few years ago…read moreand completely forgot about it unfortunately. I'm eating low carb and appreciate that I could just order the meat. Also the prices are very reasonable. I paid 6$ for a 1/2 lbs of jerk chicken that comes with a small jerk sauce (delicious) hint: order an extra one only 75 cent I had the jerk chicken and let me tell it was delicious and filling. Keep in mind the chicken is weighed with bones. I recommend getting one lbs plus of food. The jerk sauce was delicious and had a sweet spicy kick. Highly recommend!!

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.

Listen I really don't want to knock them down to 2, but what I had today wasn't what I'm used to…read more Serving size wasn't there for large oxtail and even beyond that, the taste wasn't there. 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!

UPDATE: Dropped in today because ai had a serious craving for THEIR curry goat. Decided on the mini because my cravings only require a few spoonfuls to be satisfied. I was shocked at how filling it was. For $6.36 that little box packs a serious amount of food for one person. A small isn't even needed. Also came with a drink! ----------------------------------------------------- Judged by previous reviews, I decided to drop into this place to get my own experience. Firstly, the location is great and conveniently next to Target at the corner of 441 & Okechobee. Clean, well-maintained plaza, and this was also mimicked inside the restaurant. Not much seating for a large crowd, but enough, along with the bar area. The girl at the front was very friendly which was appreciated, while the gentleman there didn't care so much - maybe not one of his best days. Ordered the (s) jerk chicken with goat gravy and it was incredibly good. Very well seasoned and done well on the jerk grill. I couldnt get enough of the little goat gravy on the rice, so I had to return the following day for the curry goat with white rice (l). I LOVED the slaw/cabbage veggie as it had a hint of sweetness to it which reminded me that the much needed plantains were missing - on both day 1 and day 2. Jamaicans do not like to eat without plantains so please honor the menu and always have it. The goat was excellent- buttery, well seasoned and delicious. I couldnt stop eating but had to, because the large was a lot. I was able to sufficiently share with my husband. I also added the rum cake with the promise that it was "great rum cake" -- very far from it. For $4, I could and will continue to live without the rum cake. It was nothing worth mentioning- except here. The price on the remaining items weren't bad, but I was blown away to discover that their mini was $6+, and is the size of the little white styrofoam restaurant desert box. Pro: Impressed that the jerk chicken was so well flavored, not dry, and done on a real grill (take notes other J'can restaurant), Id return every single day for the curry, keep up the polite attitude as customers really don't have to accept any less. Cons: Really defeated by the absence of PLANTAINS on both days, $4 rum cake wasn't worth the price. (These were so critical that they devalued the restaurant, rendering only 4 stars) Closing: This is officially my go-to Jamaican restaurant in WPB!

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.
