My party and I got here around 4pm and it was somewhat empty because we missed the lunch crowd and it wasn't late enough for the after work crowd. There was a bunch of empty seats but they still took some time to sit us.... i don't understand but whatever. When we first got to our seats, the waiter informed us that the bread wasn't ready yet... it was relatively empty in the restaurant, the bread should have been ready in my opinion. Our food took a while to come out, but one person ordered steak at our table so maybe that was the reason. The food was mediocre at best, but I didn't like what I ordered at all. I also ordered a piece of cheesecake and it was pretty good but not phenomenal. The food here is so-so and theres a lot of room for improvement, not only in this location but in all of them in general. read more

Two stars for the portions. But no flavor at all with the jerk chicken. I could taste the nasty uncleaned chicken. Made me want to vomit. The vegetables were under cooked, honestly just thinking of it makes me unhappy. I haven't tried the other dishes... but I'm still surprised the jerk chicken tastes like as if there was no jerk seasoning. It tasted like regular stew chicken... that was baked to give it a darker look. I won't get food from here anymore. read more

I ordered delivery through Uber eats and was delivered an incorrect order and a sloppy plate. I ordered a combination of oxtail and curry goat with steamed cabbage and mac and cheese. I only received oxtail, mac and cheese, and no cabbage but instead given rice and peas which took up half of the container. In addition, the Ox tail was mediocre and the portions were smaller than average. The absurd amount of rice provided on my plate was given simply to take up space due to the small portion of oxtail provided. I will never order from this place again. They are very unorganized, unprofessional, and customer service is not great at all. read more

Eating Tree - OXTAIL X PEAS & RICE X CABBAGE ( MINE ) W/ A SIDE LEG OF JERK CHICKEN BBQ CHICKEN X PEAS & RICE X CABBAGE ( BAE ) 2 SNAPPLES - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

I ordered twice through uber eats. The jerk chicken with rice and peas was just okay. I tried them a second time the roti was the driest and bland roti I ever had. The curry chicken was packed quote sloppy in the container and it just looked like slop. Fish cakes might as well been made of cardboard -could not even bite all the way down to chew they were so hard. It was the most disgusting takeout food I've ever ordered. I definitely do not reccommend. Really surprised about the stark contrast of my experiences compared to the good reviews. read more

The food really good! Everything! My partner and I love to come here for chicken patties, its deliciously made. We also love the jerk chicken and rice peas ya know. Also, make sure you give our favorite drink from here a try! Which is ginger fruit punch, we go back for seconds all the time. They also give you free cornbread (which is so good too) with your meal. read more

Great food, great price! The man that worked behind the counter was very nice and explained everything as we had never been there before. I got the coconut rice, steamed veggies and curry chicken. It was incredible. My fiancé got the jerk chicken that had amazing flavor and was on the spicy side which he did explain before we got it. The chicken patty was incredible as well! GREAT FOOD FOR THE PRICE!!!! read more

I'm highly upset that I didn't come across this place sooner! I was in the mood for some West Indian/Caribbean food so I decided to Google some restaurants in the Bronx. This happened to be one of the restaurants that I came across in my search. I ordered the medium Oxtail and Rice & Peas....Delicious! The meat literally falls off the bone. Now let's talk about the Fish Cakes that I almost missed out on if it wasn't for another customer who ordered them so I said to myself why not give a try...Lord have Mercy Delicious! So delicious that they didn't make it home and it didn't make it any better that I was hungry but you know what...that's not the point! I will definitely return to the restaurant and hopefully try the Curried Chicken or the Jerk Chicken. read more

Since Flavas was closed today I decided to try this restaurant. I I got the Stew Chicken with Rice & Peas, Cabbage and A double order of Mac & Cheese (I was sharing with my brother). He got the Fried Chicken with the same sides. Next time I'll wait until the next day. I got a tablespoon of cabbage, enough rice for 3 people definitely not enough Mac & cheese for one person, and the food was not that great!! Won't be going there again! read more

A great option for lunch in the Yankee Stadium area. $5 gets you a small platter of curry goat/jerk chicken/oxtail with rice, a plantain, some cornbread and a lemonade. That is a great deal. The food itself is quite good and freshly prepared. Most of it has a kick and is very flavorfull. If you are in the area I highly recommend it. read more

Stopped in and sampled the jerk chicken after a Yankees game. It was well worth the walk over. The chicken was tender and had excellent flavor. Service was rough around the edges, fortunately the jerk chicken made up for it. read more

Mmmmmmm, their BBQ chicken wings were bone sucking good, and let me tell you, I'm not a bone sucking kind of girl. I prefer to eat with a knife and fork. I usually get their jerk chicken, which is excellent, but when the cook walked out with this tray of BBQ chicken wings, my eyes were drawn to to them and I had to have them. It looked like each individual wing was hand dipped in BBQ sauce. Every inch of each wing was drenched in what seemed to be their homemade BBQ sauce. If these wings were so bone sucking good, why only three stars you ask? The sides brought their stars down. The rice and peas were a bit dry and a little hard. It could have used some gravy, like the gravy they give you with the jerk chicken. The steamed cabbage was also very bland. They didn't season it with anything. Not even salt or a little thyme. Oh well, at least the chicken was great. read more

I've eaten a lot of delicious Caribbean food in the past... But not from this place, sadly. The mac and cheese is below-average, the candied yams are not candied at all, and the jerk salmon had very little flavor. I might have given it three stars except the customer service was pretty awful too. Lots of potential for making solidly "meh" food "amazing" with just a few tweaks... read more

Eating Tree - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

Sigh. This makes for 2 disappointing Jamaican's experiences on 2 back to back trips. #FirstWorldProblems. The location is so close to Yankee Stadium that you can catch a foul ball or two. Meaning it's located in a part of the Bronx that you probably wouldn't want to end up after the sun has set. As many people have mentioned, the service runs on Island time. It took 7 minutes to slice an already pre-sliced piece of carrot cake. I shit you not. The food was average. My girlfriend and I shared the jerk shrimp, and the best part was the cornbread. And your history lesson of the day is: cornbread is not a native Jamaican food product. Meaning the best part of the meal was a non-Jaimaican item. It's like going out for Chinese, and loving the tiramisu dessert. We also had the carrot cake, and that was actually phenomenal (minus the 7 minute slicing part). I'd return just for the carrot cake, and pass on everything else in the restaurant. Also, their credit card machine was "down." As in "I don't want to pay the credit card service fee" down. Keep that in mind, and bring cash. read more

The staff is friendly and recommended the jerk chicken (good call)! The chicken was flavorful and I enjoyed the little square of cornbread. The rice and beans were a bit bland, but it was a solid meal overall. And the portion is gigantic, and kept me from snacking on popcorn at Yankees Stadium! read more

The jerk chicken here is awesome, it packs a real kick. I'm not really a connoisseur of Jamaican food, but this is my favorite jerk chicken I've had before. The curried goat is very good too, had a real homey flavor to it. read more

An open secret about Yankee Stadium is that you're allowed to bring your own food (no drinks, though), and Jamaican patties are a perfect ballgame snack--it stays hot in the pastry shell, and you can eat it with one hand. No sloppy condiments to worry about, either. Feeding Tree makes makes a respectable patty; although some of the offerings I've had along Flatbush Avenue have flakier crusts and more creative fillings, the crust at Feeding Tree held up well, keeping a savory flavor and not getting soggy or hard in the 15 minutes it took for us to get to our seats. The beef filling had a slight spice to it, with a mushiness that gave it the texture of pate. I wouldn't make a trip up to the Bronx just for the patties (even though it's just 3 stops from my house), but it beats anything else for a game. read more

In terms of oxtail stew, this place is top notch. The meat is unbelievable tender and the sauce is just damn good. They serve it over rice & peas a heaping mound of rice and peas, which absorbs the liquid and takes it to the next level. The only thing I regret is not getting a large order! It's in a pretty good spot, about a block away from the Yankees Stadium. And in all honesty, this is far better food than you can find in the area. I'll definitely be back next time I'm around for a game! read more

The oxtail here is tragic. I understand that with inflation restaurants feel the need to raise their prices, but $22 for a "medium" oxtail (I got maybe 5 pieces of oxtail) that is not tender and a small portion of gravy is unacceptable. I'll give this place 2 stars because I try to support Caribbean eateries, but they need to go back and tweak their oxtail recipe. I hope the other food they serve is better but I won't be back. read more

The jerk chicken and rice is bangin' and worth a return trip. We also ordered oxtail which was good as well. My wife and i were completely stuffed before the yankee game and didn't waste any money inside the stadium. The woman behind the counter was friendly and greeted us with a smile. Good place to go for the yankee game and even take-out food if you're nearby. I go to a bunch of yankee games and will no longer be eating inside the stadium. Why pay $10 for a $3 hamburger when you can pay $6 for a good ass meal? read more

I took a chance and decided to order the pepper steak meal through ubereats. Literally 30 minutes after placing my order I get a phone call stating that there was no more pepper steak. I was alil annoyed that the RUDE worker waited so long to tell me this but anyway I ended up getting the oxtails, mac n cheese with yams. The food defiantly lacked flavored. I highly doubt I would order from here again based on a customer service and most importantly the food read more

Came in for a quick take out meal, our group was feeling Caribbean and we were not disappointed! I got the jerk chicken and an order of plantains, I wanted to try the cornbread but they didn't have it #sadface We had about 4 different orders in our group and they all came in a very timely fashion, but not too fast. I ended up getting the jerk chicken and plantains. The jerk chicken comes with the chicken, rice and veggies and a plantain on top. The chicken was very juicy and spicy, just the way it's supposed to be! Rice tasty and the plantains were great! When I visit my friend in the Bronx again I believe we will be back! read more

Had lunch of jerk chicken. Excellent and good prices and quick service! Good for meal before Yankees game read more

Kicking myself that I've spent all these years going to Yankee games and have just now stumbled across this gem. Friendly staff, amazing food, and the true definition of a hole-in-the-wall. What a find! I couldn't decide between the oxtail and the curried goat, so the woman suggested I do both with a combo. Both were incredible, and everything just tasted incredible. Reasonably priced for the massive quantity of food provided. It was nice to be transported to the islands during the hot and humid summer months in the city. I will definitiely be back, and truly enjoyed my experience today! Thank you Feeding Tree! read more

Just stopped by this place after reading the reviews. Was in the neighborhood working a job today. Just plain and simple wasn't good. Walked in and even thou people looked right at me that were working there, they took 3 mins to ask me if I needed help. I ordered the curried chicken with white rice and cabbage. White rice was mushy and not well cooked. Cabbage had no seasoning at all and I asked for white meat and it still had some pink inside. The best part of the meal was the free corn bread. I will never return to this restaurant and I wouldn't advise any of my colleagues to frequent this place at all. I'm sure they get a lot of business due to location when there is a Yankee Game but I would try Flavors down the block before I go there. I'm back at work now and my stomach is on fire. I wish I would have chosen better. read more

Good prices and actually not bad jamaican food for the bx. Glad to see something different in the area around yankee. The place was nice and the food looked good. I had the jerk chicken, rice n pea, and veggie. Id recommend this spot if your out in south BX, best jamaican spot in south bronx that ive tried so far. read more

Food is good and it seems pretty authentic. The jerk chicken was good- I thought that it was okay but the other people in my party really, really liked it. The rice is good. Everything is pretty spicy. The dumplings are just dough balls-- there is nothing inside them. I hear that the oxtail is great so maybe I should have tried that instead. Very cheap and the food is good for the price. The place looks terrible but the looks don't reflect the taste. Definitely worth visiting if you're near Yankee stadium, looking for a cheap meal, and/or in the mood for Jamaican food. read more

Used yelp to find a unique place to eat around Yankee stadium, & this place came up. It's not fancy in anyway, it feels like U are in Jamaica when ur in this place. Our meals where pre-cooked, so the chicken dishes where pretty dry. My wife's oxtail stew was pretty good read more

Good food. Friendly and fast service. The seasoning was on point. Reminded me of the good food I've had at Caribbean friend's homes. I've read the complaints about portions, but I have to say, I was pleased. I think if you want a larger portion, you should buy the medium or large sizes. read more

This restaurant never opens on time. with the mediocre food and the horrible customer service . This place can't get any lower. The sad part is it's one of two Caribbean restaurant by Yankee Stadium. The owner can't have a hand in his business because hours of operation is 9 AM . you come to the restaurant at 9:05,915. They don't even have food available and the gate is half up half down.If a restaurant is projected to open up at 9 AM. The food should be done when you get there. Don't waste your time with this place. Go to flavors international . Eating tree is a joke. read more

Very happy with the food and service. Food was excellent, very tasty and big portions. Staff was was friendly. I highly recommend eating here. Excited for my next visit. read more

Eating Tree - Oxtail, mac & cheese, rice and peas - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

I ordered stewed oxtail and a beef patty through delivery. It was delivered quickly than the anticipated time frame which made me happy because I was starving and wanted something hearty. The oxtails came with rice and peas and steamed cabbage and veggies...I surprisingly found a piece of corn bread included in the bag as well. I had no idea it came with it. I ate the beef patty first and it was delicious, the patty was warm but not crispy and crumbly toasted on the outside like how some places like to heat it up. After finishing the beef patty, I opened up my oxtail plate and was pleasantly surprised again...this time it was because a fried plantain piece was included in my entree. Again, I had no idea because this is my first time ordering from here. The first bite was so good! The entire entree was nearly perfect! I usually love spicier foods but this was so delectable that I didn't miss the oxtails not being spicy. It was perfectly seasoned in my opinion, not too salty, not too overwhelming, it was just right! The rice and peas were soft but well seasoned and tasted fresh. The cabbage and veggies also had no complaints. The corn bread was eaten last but again, pure deliciousness and no issues....I will be ordering again! read more

If I could give one star for this restaurant I would. I've ordered from this place 3 times and every time it's the same outcome. The food isn't seasoned, it's bland, or they are advertising something on the menu that they don't have. I'm tired of wasting my money at restaurants that don't care about their customers. Do not waste your money like I did ordering from here find somewhere else. read more

Fairly inexpensive, very tasty Jamaican food near the stadium. I stopped by prior to a Yankee game, and I split an order of the curried goat and the oxtail stew with a friend. In spite of other complains, my food didn't take long to come out, and the meat was all very tender and tasty. Those two dishes overall were great as the food is very filling and good value, especially when compared to stadium food. It comes with a few sides which contributes to the heartiness of the meal, and definitely worth a return visit if in the area. read more

This where our bike club stopped for lunch during a Saturday ride to the Bronx and boy was I glad we did! I had the jerk chicken and callaloo. Amazing! I have limited jerk chicken experience, but from what I have had, this was the best. Someone had the jerk salmon and loved it. Reasonably priced, friendly staff. read more

*This review is of the location on 163rd and 3rd Ave.* The jerk chicken was very tender, but they scrimped on the plaintains, so ask for more. The menu is limited; not all items are available everyday. There isn't much seating, but there is a never a crowd. read more

Stopped by here before a Yankee game and the food was as authentic as I've had outside of Jamaica. Will be back for sure. read more

The food is delicious and fresh. They are courteous and will call you if something you ordered is not available. My boyfriend and I have had ordered the oxtail with a side of rice and peas and cabbage. I've also tasted their red snapper (well seasoned). The prices are reasonable, the quality and quantity are worth eating here !!!! read more

The food was extremely disappointing, veggies over cooked and the rice with peas no flavor. I would not recommend this establishment!!!!!
