Eating Tree - Looks so good! - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

See all

This spot had the most amazing ox tail meals I have ever had! I would come here every Wednesday and Friday after school for this dish and now that I'm bicoastal it's the first place I dine when I land! The meat is so tender it melts in your mouth and not to mention the gravy and sides are just right all the time...Omg!!! No matter what burrough your from its worth the trip. read more

Let me start by saying that I'm in search of the perfect Jamaican oxtail stew in NYC. I'll travel wherever I'll have to in order to find it/get it. I've tried many Jamaican places in both Manhattan and Brooklyn, so this time, I decided to trek to the Bronx to try this place because of the good yelp reviews I'd read. The service was a tad on the slow side. The woman at the register was a bit slow/hard at hearing, so that was a bit of a turn-off. In addition, while I was eating a man off the street came in to try to sell perfumes to the patrons of the restaurant. He left a trail of scent after he left, which was not very appetizing. The food was ok. The oxtail stew was good, though not the best I've had. The rice and peas did not stand out at all, just standard. Just cooked rice with peas thrown into it, not seasoned at all. The candied yams were meh. Despite being in the Bronx, eating at this place was not particularly cheap, either, though the prices were still very reasonable. Overall, a decent place with good oxtail stew if you're in the area. However, the not-so-spectacular sides would not warrant a return visit from me. read more

The perfect Caribbean quick serve stop. They have seating inside and happy, helpful employees. The menu is confusing, but all meats include 2 sides! read more

The food was really awesome. If you're going to a yankee game and hot dogs and chicken fingers aren't your thing, feeding tree really has some good options. I would suggest the oxtails, they fall off the bone and really flavorful! read more

The food is good. The prices are good. I only suggest they should secure the drinks, because when the deliver it spills in the bag, otherwise satisfied with the service. read more

Worst jamaican food i have ever tasted in m life. Im not even sure they used a jamaican recipe the food was so bland! Almost tasted like a spanish person cooked it. On top of that they didn't even include the items i ordered off the menu such as the corn bread and my jerk wings ( which i was really looking forward too) and told me that they would refund me my money in a couple days . I left my number when i placed my order they could've just called and asked if i wanted to change to something they actually did have. I will NOT be ordering from them again. I even gave the driver a $8 tip, wish i wouldve known /: read more

I had to write about this place. The food was unbelievable. A party of 7 and we were served promptly with fall-from-the-bone tender meat. Best Jamaican food I've ever had. We all had different things, from the fried chicken to the goat and the oxtail. We couldn't believe how delicious everything was. So cheap, so good, such great service! The only point off they would get is in advertising: The place is hard to find and some letters have fallen off the awning sign, but we figured they didn't quite care because once you try it you definitely remember your way back! read more

I always get the oxtail. Everything about this dish is perfect. My friends and I always come here before the Yankees game. read more

Eating Tree - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

A friend recommended this place. Fantastic food. The oxtail will make you faint. Great goat curry. Very nice staff.

My review is based on customer service. I ordered UberEats yesterday to an address literally around the corner (Walton/161st ) for myself and an elderly family member I care for. The UberEats app took over an hour to connect with a driver to pickup and deliver my food. Not the restaurants fault... but here's my issue: Why would you send off cold food that had been sitting for 1.5 hrs? Although Uber took forever to pick up the order, as a business you should have had the common sense to re heat my food especially when your prices are inflated ($16 for oxtails). I called the restaurant and explained that my food was very cold and the young lady over the phone confirmed it was because it was bagged up and sitting to be picked up. I told her I understood that the Uber took a very long time however the customer should not have to re heat a $40 order of food when paying for a service and that they could have simply placed my food in a heater/oven for the time being. I politely expressed my frustration and nothing was done to rectify the situation. Seeing as how I made the restaurant aware that I was up the street, they could have at least asked If could come in and exchange the ice cold food for a hot batch. Nope... Nothing. I was told several times it was Uber's fault. I then asked to speak to the manager or owner... guess what? Both of the people on duty do not know who the manager or owner is ....(lies). As a black entrepreneur myself, I always try to support other black businesses but sadly this is why many of them open and close so quickly. No sense of problem solving or care once your money is in their hand. The young ladies I spoke to did say sorry however there was no desire to fix the issue and they made it very clear that the customers physically in the restaurant were more important because they were too busy working to heat my food up (yup, that's what I was told). There were several options to turn this issue around being that I am so close to the restaurant. I did not want to write this review however I cannot support a business who doesn't value customers. I mean, do they not know that customers who live within close proximity of the business statistically spend the most money? I guess I will give Flavas restaurant down the street a try smh read more

Eating Tree - $40 down the drain - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

Not the most elegant of restaurants, but great to grab a quick bite for lunch or dinner. I was in the area for jury duty and this was the perfect spot to have a reasonably priced and very tasty meal without having to eat a dry-ass sandwich from the deli or sit down at a diner. The medium sized goat with rice and peas and a side of callaloo ran me $10 and I'll be having the left overs for dinner tonight. read more

I called Feeding Tree to deliver lunch for an event of 75 people at the Bronx Museum. We ordered the jerk and stew chicken, rice and peas, calalloo and cabbage. It was delivered on time, professionally (no leaks!), portioned adequately, and most importantly, the food was non-greasy and absolutely fresh and delicious! I'm a new fan. read more

Wait? What the hell happened to this place? I haven't been here for years and was in the area one day, so I decided to get a patty to go and boy was I disappointed. Was it because this was one of the few Caribbean spots that was in the area when I lived here, is it because I tasted better places in Miami and in Queens that had opened my eyes to better tasting spots? I hope that it was only the patty that was off the day I went there and that the rest of their food is still up to par. I'll try it one more time when I am in the area again and this time I'll get a regular dish to see if this place really did go down hill. I really hope not. read more

So for the first time i should've listened to him he said there was other places that were better. The food was not good. Also gave me a stomachache. To greasy, and flavor wasn't there. Actually didn't taste like much. And they didn't have a lot. I was called back because they didn't have 2 items. read more

I have had the oxtails twice since the name change. Not sure of the relationship they have with their butcher, but those are mostly fatty with very little meat on the bones oxtails. Note I purchased a medium and large order on each occasion and was met with the same experience. Flavas @ 167th and Walton have them beat on giving you your money's worth. read more

Food wasn't good, very bland. Cashier was also very rude. Better food and service down the block at Flavas!

Fabulous Food !! Feeding Tree was great, Cheap and delicious. Jerk chicken is amazing crispy and flavorful. Brown stew chicken and curry goat saucy and really spicy. Also the staff were really nice. You have got to try this Jamaican food. read more

One of my biggest regrets about working near here for a summer internship is that I only discovered the Feeding Tree near the end of the summer. Alas. I only had the chance to try the curry goat, but it was absolutely delicious. It looks like a small portion, but it all adds up (rice, beans, curry goat, cabbage, plaintain, lemonade, greens) and is extremely filling. I went in during lunch expecting an extremely long wait, but it was surprisingly short (less than ten minutes, I think). Will definitely try to go if I'm around again. read more

On my crusade for Jamaican I heard of this place through the food channel!!!! jerk peel and eat shrimp? Heavenly, beef and chicken patties, fantastic. Took a dozen home back to California , yeah that good..... but my surprise of the evening was the braised oxtail, tender and loaded with Jamaican flavor, never had anything like it. Second time to new York and I will for sure be back for more. read more

Super delicious and big portions for a great price! Recommend the jerk chicken! Very close to yankee stadium so now I know where to go to grab food beforehand! Will definitely be going back. read more

Great food, my favorite is the jerk chicken ! The oxtail Is also amazing. I go to this place all the time. Must try!

What could possibly redeem a morning spent in Bronx housing court? Why, saltfish, ackee, peas & rice and a couple sweet plantains with a piece of cornbread of course! Best genuine Island chow from here to Flatlands. BTW, the ginger beer can even settle a stomach soured by nonpayment of ten month's rent by some skinny West African car thief. There is a restaurant too, if you are into a pre-Yankee game fix. nothing special insofar as decor, but hit that curried goat and you can stand watching the Bombers for three hours. read more

I am giving a 4 only because they're a little expensive. But good food and good service. They had ackee and saltfish at 5pm. 5pm!!!! That is unheard of. I'll definitely be back. read more

Food was delicious and guy serving the food was super friendly. The ladies working the cashier couldn't multitask and were not friendly. My plastic fork broke and I waited 10 mins at the counter before they could hand me a fork. The goat was great as was curry. Just expect it to all be mild if you're used to really spicy Jamaican food. Great spot for a bite before a Yankee game. read more

Definitely the place to go before a ballgame. Even though it doesn't look like much, the food is quite tasty and the people that work there are friendly. If you like Jamaican food, and who doesn't, they are very good. I suggest the Jerk Chicken or Curried Goat, and I see a lot of people getting the Oxtail. Or just get a patty and call it a day as you go to watch another Yankee victory. read more

Great Caribbean food!!!! Best around 161st St. Been to Jamaica for Vacation and the food at "Feeding Tree" is authentic Caribbean food. My recommendation is the jerk chicken w/ rice & peas. Awesome dish! Another favorite is the fried dumpling rolls!!! Just like back in Jamaica. For my mac & cheese lovers as I, the mac & cheese has a little spice to it and is different compared to southern style. I rate the Mac & cheese 6/10. 10/10 for originality. This place has two rooms!!! Don't be afraid to bring a lunch date or friends here for dinner. It's in the Bronx, but it's affordable yet the food is on the money! First room is to take out and second room next door to entrance room has seats and a waiter to serve you. Good luck and if you can't make it, they deliver too for free. $15 Minimum. read more

I wanted to try something new so I came to this app being that it's occupying space on my phone. They don't deliver so why are they filtered as delivery com'on get it together read more

Came for dinner with friends before a concert at Yankee Stadium recently and am very glad we did. An authentic Caribbean restaurant, and obviously a favorite local place. The ambience could be nicer...nothing fancy here. We got a table and looked at the menu. Lots of peasant island food including goat but we decided to try the jerk chicken. I tried to order the wrap option that was on the menu but was told they didn't have it. We both got the platter instead with sides of rice, beans, plantains, and cabbage salad. I was afraid the chicken would be too spicy but it was delicious! So incredibly moist and tender. The meat fell off the bone and the rice and bean sides were amazing. The side cabbage salad was a great counter point to the chicken. Really yummy. The waitress was not very helpful nor extremely friendly and the place could use a facelift (hence the 4 star rating). If you're in the area I recommend stopping in for a bite. You'll be glad you did. read more

We decided to get takeout meals from here, after discovering (to our surprise) that Yankee Stadium allows fans to bring in their own food (within limits). We searched Yelp, found The Feeding Tree, and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is a short walk from the stadium, in a bustling area. Interestingly decorated, pleasant counter person, relatively quick service. I got Jamaican Jerk Chicken, my wife got Curried Goat. The dinners come in three sizes, all reasonably priced, with beans and rice, sauteed veggies, and fried plantain. For example, the large Jerk Chicken meal was $10.95, a great price for such a large meal. We successfully brought our meals into Yankee Stadium and ate them in our seats, watching the pre-game events. The food was excellent; I cook Jerk Chicken frequently, and found theirs to be excellent, with even the breast meat being moist and tender. I recommend this place to anyone going to the stadium; in fact, it's worth stopping there even if you just happen to be passing the stadium, as it's only a short distance off the Major Deegan. read more

Ordered from Uber eats and bone heads decided to wait close to an hour to call me to tell me they didn't have any of what I ordered available. Then they wouldn't cancel and made me call Uber eats to cancel. So, were u gonna charge me $35 and deliver me an empty bag? Why didn't u call me right away? Bone heads. read more

I had to try this place because I had recently seen it featured on Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown show. It definitely lived up to my expectations-- I got a huge, delicious meal (for $7.50!) of jerk chicken, rice and peas, steamed cabbage, and fried plantain. The flavors were great mixed together-- spicy, sweet and tangy. The service and restaurant had great vibes that made me feel like I was getting an authentic taste of Jamaica. I was told to come back for the jerk shrimp, so I definitely will. read more

Great customer service but the blandest Jamaican food I've had in my life. I normally go to the Jamaican restaurant down the street and Idk why I didn't. They gave me about 4 oxtails and some old leftover Mac and cheese that couldn't even be saved by salt and pepper. I don't know about the other food but oxtails and the Mac and cheese is a no for me! I'll stick with Flavas down the street. read more

I love this place i done had everything on the menu & it taste fresh and great. One of the best Caribbean place in the bronx. You want a slice of heaven get a plate of food from here read more

My buddies and I were looking for some food before a Yankees game. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I'm glad that we did. I got a small jerk chicken combo. The combos come with two sides; I got rice and beans and candied yams. The yams weren't as sweet as I thought they would be, which isn't necessarily a bad thing; just know that they're not very candy-like. The jerk chicken had great flavor and the sauce was awesome for mixing with the rice. I'm not a regular to NY, but I'll make a point to visit if I'm back in the area. read more

On my 1st visit i noticed that they take very long to hand out orders so from then on i had to take an extra 20 t0 30 mins extra to come before work so i can have this food. Although the time management is horrible the food is great so i didn't mind taking the extra time until today. As far as service goes most of the staff are very kind except the one on register with the box braids. Don't make the mistake of asking is your order ready because she will take even longer. Shes forgotten my fried chicken on 2 occasions one of which i got all the way to work before noticing. Today has put a bad taste in my mouth i won't be returning. read more

Delicious Jamaican food, decent prices, and friendly staff. Not much more to say. Thanks guys. I'm glad I was able to enjoy quality food before the Yankees game. read more

Tucked away in a small storefront near the Bronx Supreme Courthouse lies the Feeding Tree. No, it's not much to look at, but, the food is great. The jerk chicken is a must have, it is intensely flavorful, juicy and reminiscent of real Jamaican jerk chicken. The sides it comes with are tasty as well. The staff is very friendly and nice, and happy to answer any questions. I've yet to try the oxtail but looking forward to it in the near future! read more

Great cheap Jamaican food. Not the most glamorous place inside but it's clean and the food is good. Go for the curried goat; it's fantastic with the plantains, rice and beans and veggies. Grab yourself a ginger beer and you're good to go! read more

Damn I forgot how good Jerk Chicken was. Meaty chunks of spicy goodness along with a drumstick. The rice was so very good, too. The small was a generous portion. Highly recommended. read more
