The staff was so friendly and appreciative when hearing that it was my first time visiting. The waitress even brought out a sample of their goat dish. We ended up ordering the oxtail and chicken brown stew. Everything was super delicious and I believe the chef came in and checked on us. Overall ambiance was very cozy with Caribbean decor. Please check them out if you're able to!

I dropped in here for lunch today. I was greeted right away (it is unusual to be greeted in a…read morefriendly way in Jamaica restaurants normally LOL) and given a menu--and I already knew I wanted a lunch special with jerk chicken, based on the web site. There was island music playing in the background to set the vibe, along with a map of the Caribbean at every table. My jerk chicken came out quickly and was delicious. The plantains were the perfect consistency, which is important to me because some places dry them out. I asked for a side of pepper sauce and it's quite hot, so consider yourself warned! While I was dining, the owner, Peter, came over and was chatting with the patrons. The ladies at the next table clearly knew him well, and I love that there are local relationships at the restaurant. It was fascinating hearing about his transition from the finance industry in Trinidad to being a restaurant entrepreneur! I only wish I had had had space to try the rum cake. It would be a joy to come back to Irie Diner and support a local business!

She made the ordering process easy and even took the time to go over all the wing sauce options with me. I ended up getting 20 wings (10 Garlic Parmesan and 10 Sweet Barbecue) they were absolutely delicious. Crispy, savory, and perfectly sauced. They had a great deal on full wings at just $1 each, which is an incredible value. I also found out that on Mondays they offer a Buy One, Get One Half Off deal on gyros so I got 4 of them for my coworkers. I tried a gyro as well, and it was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Needless to say the experience checked all the boxes of definitely a repeat visit. Oh and plus it was very clean and nicely organized dining room with plenty of seating.

The restaurant was extremely clean and it definitely gives "island vibes". They were out of jerk chicken and plantains - but they immediately let us know what they had to choose from. We opted for curry chicken and 2 veggie plates to go. The staff were helpful and made our plates promptly. I would note that they were also conversational and wanted to know if we had ever been there before. I was happy they didn't skimp on anything - food or service. I couldn't wait to get back to the house and dig in because the entire car smelled like a kitchen. I would consider myself an 'island food connoisseur' and I can confidently say they have THE BEST Rice and peas I've tried in Jacksonville. It tastes just how my family makes it and the seasonings were all on point. The portions were great and my mother stamped the curry chicken as one of the better restaurants in the city. She also felt the cabbage was flavorful and not over-cooked. Overall we give it high ratings and will be back with others.

It is easy to see that the people that work there are focused on customer satisfaction. They are very friendly and accommodating to special requests from patrons.

The falafel is always fresh and delicious. The hummus is also made fresh and certainly tastes like it. Yum Yum. I just ate here today and can't wait till I'm back in OP again.

It isn't anything fancy, just a really good no-frills meaty burger. Bacon is included in the price and they use thicker bacon, which is nice. The fries were obviously made fresh and the seasoning was on point. The rice was a banger, like really really good. Fluffy and light with a beautiful aroma. The gyro was good, but it seemed like something was off or missing that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I'd get the meat as a platter next time. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. The owner/operator was kind and our food came out pretty quickly. Oh, and they have jarritos! And the cleanest restroom I've seen in a restaurant in some time.

And the green sauce is so addicting. The cafecito is pretty sweet, and it's the perfect little shot of caffeine. And the Cuban sandwich was delicious too, packed full with all the toppings.
