Spice It Up does not play! Everything I ordered was so good…read more The Oxtail Dinner and Curry Goat are my favorites. If you've tried different West Indian/Caribbean restaurants, you know that both of those dishes can go very wrong if they don't know what they're doing. The serving of oxtail wasn't stingy at all and they gave plenty of gravy. The Curry Goat plate was great. I usually eat curry with white rice, but this time I got it with rice and peas. Very glad I did, because it went together perfectly. Their Mac and cheese is good - not the best I've had but a solid side. The plantain was fried perfectly too. Spice It Up is a great option if you're looking for a Caribbean food fix and you can't get homemade.

I visited this restaurant today after my daughter recommended it. She had brought me food from here…read morebefore, and it was all right, so I decided to return and try the oxtail meal because my son had been asking for oxtails and I had not made them at home in a while. The location is not close to us, so we drove a considerable distance to get there. When we entered, a gentleman greeted us. Because the menu listed the oxtails at "market price," I asked him how much the meal cost, and he quoted one price. Shortly afterward, a woman came over and told me that was not the correct price and gave me a higher price. I honestly should have followed my first instinct and left, but my son was hungry and we had already made the drive, so we decided to place an order. The woman allowed us to sample some of the food, and based on the sauce, it seemed acceptable. However, I was surprised to learn that an oxtail meal costing more than $30 only included the meat, rice and peas, and one additional side. Any other side was an extra charge. Most Jamaican restaurants I have visited include rice, meat, and two sides, especially at that price point. The container was also quite small for the amount being charged. After adding a beef patty and a drink for my son, the total came to more than $40. Unfortunately, the taste and portion size did not justify the price. I have had much better oxtails from another nearby restaurant that provides a larger portion and two sides for a better value. What disappointed me most was the customer service. The woman's attitude and demeanor changed when I asked questions about the pricing, portions, and sides. As a paying customer, I should be able to ask reasonable questions without being made to feel rushed or as though I am causing a problem. My overall rating would be approximately 4 or 5 out of 10 for the food, 0 out of 10 for customer service, and 2 out of 10 for the atmosphere. I was truly hoping to find a good, authentic Jamaican restaurant for the days when I do not have time to prepare Jamaican food myself, but unfortunately, this experience did not meet my expectations.

I drove a long way to visit this restaurant today, only to realize it wasn't actually my first time…read morehere. I remembered that one of my cousins had brought me here before for food, so I was expecting a decent experience. Unfortunately, today's visit was absolutely disappointing. I placed an order for oxtails, but they were out of mac & cheese, collard greens, and cabbage. The employee also mentioned they only had one dumpling left. What I don't understand is how a restaurant can be out of multiple sides that are supposed to come with the meal, yet still charge full price. The meal alone was $35. My son wanted additional items, so I still ordered food for him, but because the side options were so limited, I decided not to order anything for myself. In total, I ended up spending around $45, and the whole experience was just very disappointing. I really could've just bought the ingredients and made the meal myself, but I've been busy working in the house and handling a few projects, and before I realized it, the day had already gotten late. That's the main reason I decided to stop and buy food instead. Honestly, I guarantee I wouldn't have spent nearly as much making the meal myself as I ended up spending purchasing it there. To make matters worse, the employee serving us came across very nonchalant and unconcerned, which only added to the frustration. Overall, this is not a place I see myself visiting again anytime soon, if ever.

It's a HELLLLLLLL NO for me!!!!!…read more Went in for a veggie plate, all prices are different from what the menu says! Mac & Cheese is not considered a side item, so for the veggie plate you can only get Rice & Peas, collards, Cabbage or plantains basically...... They were unsure about what kinds of fish is being served. Prices are whatever they feel the price should be that day and not according to the menu-LOL! Restaurant was super clean and empty. Service was pleasantly absolutely unsure, and I can't say what the food tastes like because I exited as fast as I walked in. Restaurants.... Do better, we work hard for our money and e have options.

As a vegan I really appreciated this meal. I had the chickpea curry with cabbage and plantains, and…read moreit was honestly so good. The curry was flavorful, well-seasoned, and had a really comforting homemade taste. The cabbage was cooked perfectly and paired really well with the dish, and the plantains were sweet and delicious. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portion was solid for the price. My total came to around $15 after taxes, which felt like a great value for such a tasty and filling meal. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving a good, flavorful plant-based meal.

Ok, guess this has not been my week to find stellar places to eat…read more On our way home from Norcross, the reviews for this place made it sound enticing....maybe it is a better choice for carnivores. Plenty of parking in the strip mall and the restaurant is clean with 6 tables to dine in and eat from your to go containers. Seemed to be short staffed as we waited over 5 minutes for the cashier to finish plating up food orders and then take our order. Hubby was quite hungry by 2pm so we opted for a tasteless undercooked barely any filly veggie empanada type item from the heated prepared food box. We love jack fruit and this was the main reason for our visit. However, the curry and the jerk jackfruit were both rather tasteless. Portions are hefty and rice with pigeon peas plus overcooked cabbage are included. The few plaintains included were tasty. Food took over 20 minutes to show up for us- overall it was a long wait for meh food.

I'm not Caribbean, so I can't speak to authenticity, but it felt authentic and was good. My wife was put off by the volume of the music and the inattentive service.
