I've visited Dumplin Restaurant for years whenever I'm in West Palm Beach, and it's always been a go-to spot--especially because their lunch specials are hard to beat. 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. read more

Listen I really don't want to knock them down to 2, but what I had today wasn't what I'm used to. 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! read more

Dumplin restaurant has authentic Jamaican food. I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas. The flavors are reminiscent of Jamaica food you would find in eateries back home. The rice and peas is often a disappointment at some Jamaican restaurants but not here. I can tell they have someone in the kitchen that has been cooking a long time. If my travels take me back to the area I will definitely give Dumplin a another visit. read more

Been twice. Myself and my Dad loved the food. Definitely try the soups of the day, we both shared the curry chicken and wasn't disappointed. read more

Stopped in on my way back up to Orlando and did not disappoint one bit. The lady that works the counter is very progressional, friendly and welcoming. Ended up sitting in to eat for about 20 minutes and talked with her the entire time. Food was nothing short of excellent, lots of flavor, not to salty and plenty for the money. read more

Wrapping up some holiday shopping, I stumbled upon the Dumplin Restaurant leaving the Palm Beach Outlets. It's located in a small strip center - parking is tight. My desire was curried goat for lunch. I'm a fan of Caribbean food and the Dumplin Restaurant had some decent online reviews. And an extensive menu. Restaurant was busy - I decided on an order of curried goat with beans and rice, along with steamed cabbage. No goat I was told by the cashier/server. Bummer, I thought, as I really like curried goat. On the suggestion of a waiting customer, I tried the curried chicken. Taking it "to go" as I was driving back to the Treasure Coast, I decided on beans and rice, along with steamed cabbage as my side items. I really wanted the curried goat, but the curried chicken wasn't bad. Not only was the meal flavorful, I was served a container full of food. Cashier/server was friendly and polite - "take out" bag had napkins and flatware. Restaurant was clean and well attended. I would try the Dumplin Restaurant again. But only if I can try the curried goat. William E. Lewis Jr. Vero Beach, Florida. read more

Staff were great. The food was good but a bit salty. I would recommend the fruit cake they have.

Great food and excellent service. I ordered Ackee and saltfish, Callaloo and saltfish and escovitch fish. The food was well seasoned and the portions were large. I'll definitely be back. read more

Fantastic oxtail... and the roti with chickpea. Delish. Washed it down with a nice organic beet juice and I was a happy camper. Great spot to take out or eat in. Owner is a sweetheart read more

I've eaten here twice and the food is really good! Very well seasoned and flavorful. I have gotten the oxtail both times and it does not disappoint. My boyfriend got the curry goat and was very satisfied. This is now my go to place for Jamaican food. For a small, you get a whole heap of food and I'd be curious to see a large if the portion size is so plentiful for the small. read more

Food was good , definitely ask for extra gravy.. more of a takeout place than sit in dine -in. They do have door dash ! read more

I hate giving bad reviews but hopefully the owner sees it and can make improvements no? The staff was super friendly! So that is why I am at least giving 2 stars! But the lunch brown stew chicken was HORRIBLE. So bland, rice and peas mushy and bland, and, cabbage was ok. Overall I don't know if people don't know good Jamaican food. Or if this is just an off day but the best thing about my meal was the plantain and my ginger ale lol. Please change your brown stew chicken recipe. Definitely needs help! read more

This is really good, Jamaican Take out. Meals are about $7 with meat rice and beans. They also make a bunch of different rum cakes. The lady who runs it is very nice, welcoming and accommodating. Both times I ate there was in the evening and they had already sold out of the beef patties :( But the good thing about that is that it means they make them fresh daily. The first time I went I had a jerk pork and jerk chicken combo with rice and vegetables. The star of this meal was the jerk pork, it was cut into large cubes and had an incredible tasting rub on it and it sat in a nice gravy. The chicken wasn't as much to my liking because of the bones but otherwise it tasted fine. Rice and vegetables were nothing memorable but they kind of complete the meal. Second visit I had Roti with jerk pork. This time she gave me even more meat and gravy and I quite enjoyed it. I'd go again any time I'm in the area. Very good. You can also sit inside there about 8 tables or so. They have bottled sodas and fruit juices. read more

Amazing food. Thats all I have to say. I come here at least once a week when I'm in the area. The jerk chicken and Brown Stew chicken are my favorite. read more

Customer service was great. But the food not so much. Upset my stomach and overcooked (hard and rubbery). Hopefully it was a bad day for them and not the norm. Wouldn't go back though. read more

I was here earlier as a recommendation by my cousin. He raves about the food but I thought, that he was exaggerating at first until I gave it a try. First, let me say that the customer service was fantastic and greatly appreciated. This restaurant reminded me of my last visit to Jamaica - by how welcoming the staff was. Please do not compare this establishment to other mom and pop Jamaican restaurants. They need to take lessons from this restaurant. I stopped by with my cousin today and the staff was very welcoming and patient. I ordered a small dish of salt fish, cabbage and callaloo and it was absolutely delicious! My eyes almost watered when I saw just how delicious the food looked...... let's not forget the portion was large. The price is very fare. I have to say I was impressed. The service, patience, welcoming atmosphere and quality of food! Although I'm not a fan of meat, I was tempted by the curry chicken dish my cousin ordered. To anyone in the south Florida area, I would highly recommend you stop by this restaurant. I've been to many Jamaican restaurants in south Florida but this restaurant takes the win. Kudos to the staff and owner big up yuhself read more

Let me tell you the food is excellent!! But the customer service is horrible. I mean damn I really try to support my community. My wife and I walked in tonight and stood at the counter waiting for service. The young lady Jada walked over to the other registered never said hello or how can I help you ? Didn't say please come over here. I'm standing on one side she's on the other im looking at the cakes inside the display case. I hear her say in a low attitude voice go head with your order! I thought she was talking to someone else but I looked up and she's talking to me. No smile no welcoming atmosphere. I live 7 miles away there and back home totalling 14 miles 26 minutes give or take. I must havec at least 4 or 5 Caribbean restaurants not that far from my house. But we chose to go to that one. So being the up beat person I am I said hello!! Are you ok ? Seems like you're having a bad day? With not much response I just ordered my food and we left. Jada can for sure use a customer service class instead of setting behind the counter on the phone. Learn how to be polite and greet the customers when we walk in. read more

Clean environment tasty Carribean food eat here everyday while staying at Hilton honors across street

This is a neighborhood gem for those in the know. It's mainly takeout and a line is always waiting which attests to how good their homemade curries are. The "dish" to order is the chicken curry (on the bone) with extra gravy. Ask for it with brown rice and peas and a side of yams. Their brown chicken curry is a second runner up. They offer it in a medium or large size and it's unbelievably delicious and a must try for those who enjoy a good inexpensive curry under $10. They also offer incredible homemade deserts. Their cheesecake is fantastic. Fyi, the restaurant is actually Jamaican not Creole, but I would not recommend their jerk chicken. read more

Poor interior but the dumplings were delicious. Recommend takeout only at this spot as the restaurant just not warm

Seriously the most insane Caribbean curry extending from Jamaica to the British Virgin Islands

Needed a meal before heading to the airport to head home. Was shopping at the outlet mall in West Palm Beach. My friend did a search and found Dumplin. Wow, the chicken curry is amazing. It comes with rice or rice with peas, cabbage and plantains. The chicken was moist and tender. The curry was just right. Could not have found anything at the airport to beat this food. read more

Good food by Jamaican culture but the owner seems very annoyed poor attitude not friendly at all made me feel uncomfortable in my Dining experience not sure if I will return read more

This spot served the best tasting Jamaican food that I have ever tasted. Portion size was on point too. I was bummed that they didn't have their Jamaican fried chicken but everything else I ordered was excellent. I'll be coming back here to get my Jamaican food fix the next time I'm back in town. read more

The curry isn't too great but the jerk chicken and pork is on point. You also get a LOT of food for the price. I recommend.

I ordered 6 platters and was surprised that my total was 90$..OK, well the food better be good..I got one tiny dumplin in each platter and the rice was hard and clearly old ..I ate their oxtails and ended up vomiting for 2days straight.My family also complained of stomach pains but no one got as ill as i did..This place used to be really good but i heard they have new management..I will never buy from this place again.. read more

Curry goat with rice and peas and fried plantin all good. Ordered a small size lunch portion was a full size meal. Tasty curry at a great price. read more

I finally found a Jamaican restaurant in the area. I've tried a handful of restaurants in the area but always been less than happy. I get much better Jamaican food in L.A. However, this place had really good food and the meat was extremely tender and there were no bones or HUGE pieces of fat included. Only issue was that I got white rice instead of rice and peas. Maybe I needed to ask for it. They asked me if I wanted plantains so maybe it's something that needs to be requested. Hope I can get back before I leave! read more

Great Jamaican food at a good price. Curried chicken is a favorite. People are very nice. There are a few tables but definitely more of a take out place. read more

Great Jamaican Food the Brown Stew Chicken is the best. The service and prices are great and the wait time is reasonable.

I love them. The curry chicken and oxtail is on point. And they are the first Jamaican place in the area that do not use the cheap rice with their food. I actually leave Deerfield Beach to do take out when I want to feel like I am in Jamaica. High marks to them in every aspect of food and menu. Customer service is superior then most Jamaican restaurant. read more

Fort Lauderdale transplant new to WPB. Stopped by Dumplins to grab dinner and, coming from a city that is the hub of Jamaican cuisine, found this place to be overpriced and grossly under-delivering on the quality of food. Attempt 2, I ordered a pound of jerk chicken- and felt extremely robbed at how small the quantity was. Attempt 3, called to order lunch and discovered that plantains are not included in their lunch special. If one has even the slightest idea about Jamaican cuisine, they'd know that that is completely unacceptable. I will NEVER go there again. 2 stars because the food was swallowable. read more

Solid Caribbean style food, very reasonable prices. Get extra gravy with your main order and the steamed veggies are a nice addition.

Went to a place called dumplin, ordered dumplings and was served hush puppies.. These are not home cooked Jamaican or southern dumplings. These are deep fired hush puppies. read more

fav is oxtail... liked better than stew chicken which was still good. jerk pork was yummy too... expect a little heat and spice

Best Jamaican restaurant in South Florida. The curry goat is delicious and my favorite.

Great service and great Carribean/Jamaican food. The best lunch special in Palm Beach. They treat you nice, make you feel welcome, and they know its part of the job unlike some places. read more
