More than impressed by the flavor, options, portions, quality and delivery time. I ordered spinach patties, curry tilapia and a side of collard greens. The curry tilapia was phenomenal! Everything arrived hot and delicious. The plantains were among the best I've ever had. I will absolutely order from here again! read more

Easy to find. Tight parking. Good service. They don't skimp on the amount of food you get and it's pretty good. I've had the oxtails twice and they've been tender and good. The side of plantains was good too. read more

Island Pot JA - Caribbean Near Me - Macon, Georgia

The owner's daughter was working the front. She was very personable. I was constantly called "ma'am" and she was very attentive. I ordered the large oxtail plate with a beef patti and a curry chicken patti. This was easily enough food for my partner and I and it was such a large portion I knew we would have left overs. MY INITIAL IMPRESSION WHEN I OPENED THE PLATE WAS... Wow. This is a lot of food. I also thought the gravy looked a bit runny. However I realized once I made it home that it was simply very fresh and it thickened up as it sat. NOW FOR THE TASTE.. It's good. I mean really good. The oxtails are tender and with the gravy are flavored very nice. I could also tell everything on my plate, from the oxtails and rice to the rastafarian pasta and plantains, was served freshly prepared. Or at least it sure tasted like it. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the oxtails and the Patti's. In response to another poster who commented that the food was not authentic - this comment made me almost stay away from visiting the Island Pot because I love 'authentic' Jamaican food. However I'm so happy I still visited the establishment to judge for myself. Here are my thoughts on what's 'authentic'. I'm from the South. I grew up eating southern food. Soul food. I can tell you that very few people prepare a dish exactly the same especially when they arent going by a recipe. I have tasted pumpkin pie and sweet potatoe pie from dozens of people over my life, dressing and cranberry sauce and even burgers. They are all somewhat different. Sometimes I can taste more of one ingredient than the next. I've had oxtails at Jamaican restaurants in Dallas' TX (Ms. Elaine's Restaurant .. Ms. Elaine is from Jamaica and feel free to check out my review and photos of her oxtails) and I've had oxtails in Houston, TX at various soul food restaurants and they were all different but all good. So what makes a dish authentic? I Dont know. I can only judge by taste and these oxtails are fantastic! I paid $21.00 for my meal. It was a good price. And yes I will be returning. read more

I've only dined here once and I got the oxtail and jerk chicken combination as the brown stew chicken was not ready yet. I didn't receive my plantains but the owners responded and said they would make up for it on a future visit. I really like the taste of their food and they give you enough gravy. They are in my top two locations for Jamaican food. read more

Island Pot JA - a meal in a styrofoam container - Caribbean Near Me - Macon, Georgia

This is my favorite local Caribbean food. The presentation, quality, flavor and amount of food you get is always worth the money. I'm glad we have a island pot in Warner Robins now, before I would drive to Macon and it was always worth the drive. read more

Island Pot JA - Large Ox Tail, Rice & Peas, Caribbean Style Mac & Cheese - Caribbean Near Me - Macon, Georgia

This is a family-run, authentically Jamaican establishment. The people working there have Jamaican accents and are nice. They offer all the quintessential Jamaican dishes like brown stew chicken, salt fish with ackee, jerk chicken, Jamaican curry, oxtail, patties, peas and rice, and roti. The lunch specials are very affordable and they pile on the portions. The food is not excessively salty like I've experienced in some other Jamaican restaurants. The setting is casual and clean, and dine-in is an option. I will definitely be coming back! read more

The staff were courteous and the food was delicious and good portion size. I had oxtails, stew chicken, and curry chicken dinners.

New restaurant it has potential...the food was good...service not so much. The guy taking orders and fixing the plates didn't have on a mask. They were only accepting cash or cashapp. I had a medium vegetable plate with cabbage, plantains and macaroni and cheese. Somehow my total came up to $19.00 which I thought was ridiculous. I questioned my total which the cashier originally advised was correct. After I continued to question the amount the cashier stated she can reenter my order and as suspected I was overcharged! It's a new restaurant that's family owned so I'm hoping they are able to get it together soon. read more

This is the best Jamaican Food in Macon, in my opinion. From the curry chicken, Oxtail, or Goat, please don't sleep on the goat! The Mac & Cheeses is also one of my favorite. read more

The first time I ate at this restaurant the food was good. The second time the oxtails did not taste the same. The rice was stuck together as if it was old. The collard greens had no seasoning in it. Tasted like watered down collards. I will not be going back to this place for Caribbean food. read more

Good food and good service, we eat here every single day from Tuesday to Saturday, 8 meals everyday, that's how good it is.

Visiting from out of town and a family member recommended this spot. Great food, great people, genuine vibes. I recommend the Jerk Chicken, rice & beans, and plantain. read more

Island Pot JA - Jerk Chicken Dinner, Beans & Rice, Plantain - Caribbean Near Me - Macon, Georgia

Customer service was excellent and they have the best authentic Jamaican cuisine in Macon.

Friendly customer service. Was greeted coming in the door. It's definitely not authentic Jamaican. The people are, but the food isn't. It's no different than any other restaurant. you have your typical dishes, they are hot and fresh. But it's not authentic flavors nor preparation methods. They have a lunch special for less than 7 dollars. The food is tasty but they need to wear gloves. read more

The customer service was absolutely wonderful she explained everything patiently and made me feel welcome, the food was so good!!

The food here is amazing. I moved from Atlanta not too long ago and there's so many spots up there and so I was surprised they had Jamaican restaurants here. I tried it cause I was crazing oxtail. And since then this has been my go to place. The food here is always on point. Best Jamaican cuisine in town, and I have tried the other places. Their food is authentic. I'm from Florida and this taste just like what we had down their. read more

Best Jamaican food that I have had in a while. The food is well seasoned and you get generous portions. The oxtails were so tender the meat was falling off the bone. My daughter loved the beef patties as well. I will definitely be back to try other dishes. read more
