The goat curry is sooooo amazing! I am really glad that Yelp helped me find the place with the best Caribbean Goat Curry within 5 miles. I would stop here again. Even my toddler thought it was really good! read more

For some reason when I the ordered oxtail and plantains from here a couple of months ago I was underwhelmed. When I ordered these items again for dinner the other day they were delicious. The cornbread is also tasty and the spinach patty was amazing. The restaurant has two sections, one for takeout orders and a separate seating area with a bar. The wine selection was disappointing but who needs booze when there's such delicious and filling food to enjoy! read more

I really really enjoyed the food except that it was cold. I ordered the beef patty which was amazing, warm and had lots of flavor. I was so excited for my oxtail with rice and peas. The odd thing was that it was cold. The two other people that were with me had cold food too. They took a very long time to bring the dishes out too, like 20 minutes. Flavor was all there but it was cold. The server was nice. read more

Respect these nice people and their tasty, excellent food. Bring some frosty Red Stripes if you choose. What a great way to be in the Bronx - and avoid the garbage at Disneyland on Steroids where NYCFC (oh, and the Yankees) play. This is the way to go. read more

Great food and friendly helpful staff! The jerk chicken is plentiful and very yummy plantains.

Never come here and expect your food in a timely manner. They are very slow, always estimate about 15 - 30 min wait.

I was visiting a friend in the Bronx and we agreed to meet by Yankee stadium. As I was waiting I started to get hungry so I went on my yelp app to find a place to eat. The feeding tree came up and it's hard for me to pass up caribbean food so I just had to try it. I ordered the curry goat roti. It was for a reasonable price and it came with fried plantains and veggies. The roti was sooooooo good. The curry goat was cooked perfectly. My only complaint is that I like chickpeas in my roti but, other than that the meal was very good. Whenever I'm in the Bronx I def stop by again read more

Great authentic Jamaican food. Yum. Had the cod fish and it came with plantains, rice and peas, and steamed cabbage. Great prices too!!

Stopped here after an nycfc game, seemed like it would be a cheap enough place for some quality food. The oxtail is top notch and quite literally falls off the bone. The red snapper was unfortunately overcooked to the point of taking a big hit on flavor. The fish itself also didn't seem fresh at all, but again this could've been a result of how overcooked it was. The smoothies are pretty expensive and taste watered down. I would recommend this place if you're just looking for some decent food at a manageable price (not the cheapest, especially for what you get). read more

Good is amazing! I was disappointed that lunch specials were only on early weekdays. The oxtail soup are a bit expensive but very tasty with peas and rice. The jerk chicken is extremely spicy so please be warned. Overall it was very good and tasty! read more

Had the Cod fritters. Thank Xenu they only sell them by the fours or I would've had 40 as a pre-game snack! Great with a Red Stripe. +Food is good deal - beer $6. No deals on beer around the stadium except Stadium Pizza 3 for $10. You can brown bag from the bodega but the 5-0 will summons you if you get caught swiggin' on the street! BTW they now have an A rating. read more

This review is long overdue! I wanted to find some good cheap eats before a Yankees game and came across this place on Yelp. Me and the hubby showed up at this place shortly after it opened for business and unfortunately not all the dishes were ready, but we did manage to get our hands on some jerk chicken, rice, yellow plantains, cabbage, and beef patties. Yummy yum yum! I would highly recommend this place! read more

Great food for a reasonable price. Perfect for dinner before or after catching the Yankee game. Jerk chicken was nice and spicy and oh so tender. read more

My friend and I had jerk chicken and curry goat with carrot juice and Irish moss juice for dinner at the Feeding Tree last night and it was delicious! $11 for a big plate full of excellent tasting soft-meat fall-off-the-bone curry goat. I'm a fan and want to go back! One of the cooks and owner, Phillip, came out to talk to us, asked if we liked the food, and to answer any questions we had. Turns out he creates the jerk spice mix himself. A jewel hidden in the Bronx. I'll be back soon, Phillip, with more friends, no doubt. Keep your restaurant authentically Jamaican, that is what we love most. read more

Came here for non-bar food before a game. It we delicious and not pricey. The two of us split a medium meal and are very satisfied!

I almost married a Jamaican woman once (she forgot to mention her hubby) and she got me hooked on jerk chicken. The place is clean and fresh. I'll try the snapper sometime. The neighborhood is decidedly meh so this is probably better as a daytime excursion. read more

being that i read some good reviews about the eating tree facility i thought i would give it a chance i usually go to harlem on 145 or peppa's in brooklyn where they serve the best every jamaican food. when i arrived at the eating tree there were several employee in the kitchen area except for one slim tall black american male who asked me what would i like? i looked at the menu and asked for the ten dollar medium portion of jerk chicken. he was just given a pan full of fresh chicken jerk chicken but started giving me the old hard ones that was in the older prior pan which were small pieces looking very hard. i asked him to serve me well please yet he continued as if he did not hear me ( i figured ooh lord here we go ) the chicken look very dry so i asked for some jerk seasoning to be added and he did. i still was looking at those small bits of chicken he gave me even though he had a fresh new pan of chicken with much larger fresh chicken before him. now it is time to pay and he bills me $13.00 dollars for a medium small serving of chicken. i said wait wait wait this is no where near $13.00 dollars of chicken. he said well our prices had gone up then gives me a menu which still shows the medium as ten dollars. i said this says clearly $10.00 dollars not $13.00 dollars rather then keep bringing up his infractions i just paid and left. when i got home those small chicken bits were hard and dry even with the sauce so i tossed it away. i was very disappointed and upset and cannot recommend this place to my worse enemy. i did not pay much attention to some of the people who reviewed this place its mostly individuals who come to ny for baseball games and a few locals. which of course after watching a game being seated for a few hours you will get hungry and want to get whatever is available to you to eat and when your hungry even if you eat a few crackers they taste like the best damn crackers ever which is what i think is what happen here. i personally cannot recommend this place my first time was my last time!!! i am very disappointed!!!! its sad because i have always purchased jamaican food from many places over the years without an issue till now. i never experience anything like this and the employee did not seem to care or mind that i was obviously not satisfied with his service or the quality and small quantity of chicken given to me. i have gotten much better service at the diner at the corner of 161 that establishment they do value their customers way more. i now know to evaluate reviews more carefully before i decide to spend money in places such as this. read more

I have eaten in the past from them food is good. This review is for takeout 10-30-17. I ordered the large oxtails with cabbage and rice with peas. The oxtail was fatty, greasy so delish just the way I like it. The large plate is enough for two adults. Although they pack in the rice and just enough oxtails. Rave reviews for the cornbread that came with the oxtail , I wish I had more.... I ordered jerk wings in the past as well. They are bland and really small. However still my go to for Caribbean food when I'm in the Bronx. read more

Awesome and authentic taste of the Caribbean for ridiculously cheap prices. Great neighborhood place where the folks that work at the stadium flood to for lunch. For an area littered with pricey mediocre food to rip off people going to the games, the Feeding Tree is definitely a pleasant surprise. read more

I have been coming here since this place opened. Way longer than anyone who has written a review. I live in the neighborhood and remember when it was being built. I have to say I am highly disappointed in my last two visits. I ordered a large oxtail, and when I got it, it was about the same amount of meat as the small..maybe a little more. The majority of the order was rice. This is unacceptable for the price that is being charged. The small order is also a ripoff now, in my opinion. 13 bucks for a smaller version of what I described for the large. You can go to Molino Rojo around the corner, and get their oxtail for less than 10 bucks and get way more for value for your money. A large order of oxtail should not be 98 percent rice in a big foil tin with a little bit of oxtail in the corner. Please address this, because I love coming and supporting this establishment, and I do not want to stop. I hope management sees this and fixes the issue. I am unsure if this only applies to orders of oxtail. read more

I ate the stew beef, rice and peas and mac and cheese here and was very disappointed. Everything was very bland, it had no flavor at all. I gave the place one star for the quick service since I took my food to go but it was such a waste of money since I ended up throwing out my food after a few bites. The feeding tree in Brooklyn is so much better than this one. read more

Nice place great atmosphere, all had a great time. The ox-tails were good and the fried chicken was very good. Would recommend for people who are looking for a nice small place out of the way with good food. read more

I don't see what's so special about feeding tree to be honest. I've had the jerk chicken which came with rice and peas and cabbage. I felt like the cabbage was delicious but the rice and peas and jerk chicken lacked a bit of flavor. I had tried the beef patties also because of how popular they seemed to be but was disappointed with that as well. I think this place would be ideal for someone who likes mild Caribbean food. Overall my experience was okay, I don't think I will be back though. read more

best jamaica food. loved their oxtail.

after a long hiatus, i went back to the feeding tree after a sunday afternoon yankee game. this is the kind of place you could easily walk by and ignore, but that would be a huge mistake. the people are friendly and the food is delicious. i had a jerk chicken/goat stew combo. the goat stew was amazing, well seasoned and richly flavored, complex, and well cooked. the jerk chicken had a nice bite, without being overwhelmingly in your face spicy, a nice mix of hot and fruity, just as jerk should be. the cabbage/veg is tasty, the rice and beans nicely cooked. top that off with a red stripe, and life is good. read more

I like this place because they make a lil of everything, food is fresh and flavorful...they also inexpensive. I ordered goat roti today and i loved it i just wish they filled the container with goat instead of gravy and a lil cabbage for almost $8.Thats my only issue but i would go back and try something else definitely. I wish there was more homestyle Caribbean restaurants in the lower parts of the bronx but feeding tree definitely has my vote! read more

Jerk chicken is moist, tender, & delicious! Not crazy about the greasiness though.

The lunch special sounds like a phenomenal deal, likely a comparable or larger quantity than the $11+ dinner plate I scarfed down on a rainy night before a Yankee game a block over. (I remarked that it was a quick joint, but my co-diner quipped back that it was far enough.) Sure, that's cheaper for the admittedly large portion of real food than you'd spend in the Stadium (or Manhattan), but it ain't exactly bargain grub. That said, the food emerged fairly slowly due to the staffing, albeit quicker than I was expecting based on predecessors' complaints. The woman who took my $13.48 for an order of jerk shrimp and ginger beer (bottled, nonalcoholic) was the friendly of the small operation with regulars out front and circulating the interior. I was unaware of a Bourdain visit, but either the quality dropped or they had an off night - while the shrimp was cooked well and packed a nice wallop, my sides were dry and the sauce was a bit gloopier than desired. read more

Awesome place near Yankee Stadium. I am a lover of the ox tail and may try the jerk chicken next time since keep hearing the great reviews. The prices are reasonable and food amazing. The service is quick, efficient and helpful. Will keep this place on my list of places when I come to New York. read more

If you ever watch a game at Yankee Stadium, save yourself the $20 hot dog/fries heartburn and go to this place. This place is worth the one block walk down the street. Incredible Jamaican meal for a great price, and really nice service. Started with jerk chicken wings. Spicy and flavorful. Then had steaming hot beef patties. The dough was less flaky than we are used to, but it has such a nice chewiness that it grew on us. Ended with the best dish ever....but be warned, you must like seriously spicy food. There is a lot of habanero action in this last one...The pepper shrimp with rice and peas and a side of cooked vegetables was so savory. Yes, the vegetables were savory. It all comes out simply prepared, home cooking style. The ambience is also very informal, decent murals on the walls, photos of Stevie Wonder, MLK and others on the wall, looks family-owned. But I can't cook Jamaican food, So this is the next best thing. read more

One of my favorite restaurants and def my favorite West Indian restaurant. Rice n peas, curry chicken/shrimp, oxtails, cabbage. Goodness after goodness after goodness read more

I go here occassionally when i'm in the mood for Ackee and Saltfish with either dumplings or rice and peas and cabbage. This is the only place I can find that will actually have some available past 10am! Reason being, this is a breakfast dish. They make it pretty mediocre here. If I can get up early enough I would go elsewhere...Like Island Taste Cuisine on whiteplains Rd or Seven Spices on Gun Hill Rd. This place also make thier rice and peas very bland and thier cabbage has no flavor. The best part of this place I would have to say is thier Jerk Chicken. Very moist and flavorful. And they actually have WHITE MEAT! So many carribean resturants only offer Dark Meat. For that I give this place 4 stars. Thanks. read more

Bourdain was right again! The jerk shrimp alone was worth the trip. Definitely a go to spot before (and after lol) any Yankee game. Thanks feeding tree, you guys are the best! See you soon. read more

Its eatable most def, but it's not the best jerk chicken I've had, if it had being left seasoning all night it would've taste better, the chicken is mad dry, we asked for our rice to be poured with gravy and we didn't get it. My husband asked for oxtail and it was really greasy so he wasn't even able to finish it. So I'd say look for other places. I'm still in search for the perfect Jamaican spot, I'll let you all know if I find it. read more

Excellent place for lunch. Both the Curried and Jerk chicken were tender and full of flavor. The fried plantain was a sweet treat to end the meal. read more

Good thing I had checked the Yelp reviews, or we would have walked by this place. We knew what we were looking for, and still passed it three times. VERY close to Yankee stadium, excellent choice before the Pinstripe Bowl game. We ate in the dining area and had Red Stripes and oxtail, curried chicken, and jerk chicken. All were excellent! The sides that came with the meat were rice/beans, sauteed cabbage, and one large fried plantain. Also came with cornbread - the cornbread was excellent. The cabbage was not seasoned, but perfect to cool off your mouth after the delicious spicy jerk chicken! The brown sauce from the chicken was great on the rice - but heck, that sauce would make cavier better! Really great find - if you manage your expectations. This is a little hole in the wall with great food and beer. The staff was very friendly, but they are busy - the place constantly has people coming in on the take out side (and generally a line over there). Relax, pretend you are on an island, and enjoy the food. read more
