Napkin and receipt shows all the grease.

It took exactly 52 minutes for us to get an order of Jerk Mac & Cheese, Brown Stew Snapper and a Chicken Soup. Apparently they gave our order to another customer but no one came out to inform us until we asked. Very poor service and on Mother's Day. Received the order and there was no spoon for my soup, one container wasn't properly closed, which left the entire bag filled with grease. I would not recommend this location. Right now I have a tummy ache from waiting and will be unable to eat what I ordered.

Where is the Rasta in my pasta this looked and tasted like a bland Alfredo
Amanda Z.

Im sick of y'all and these prices not matching the food. The only thing I ever order our of here is a beef patty. I dont know if its because this is the new location but at least on Liberty Rd. when they charge them high af prices the food is flavorful. I say this to say if you are looking for Jamaican and you HAVE to have Island Quizine go up the street. its a couple minutes drive but for the money you will spend its worth it. I mean look at my pasta, where is the rasta in that pasta?

a variety of food items on a table

Today, Dec 14, 2023, I ordered food from this location for my department's office holiday party, and the staff LOVED the food. I ordered jerk chicken, sweet & sour chicken, fried whiting, veggie stir fry, veggie chunks (rundown), cocktail beef patties, plantains, rice & peas, and potato salad and a mixture of assorted sodas. My only con was that they didn't deliver my order until 11:10 a.m. (the party started @11a.m) even though I requested a 1030a delivery, it wasn't a total loss because the food came nice and hot.

So pleased with this location. My call was answered and ordered placed. Good pick up was seamless. Food looks great. Ready to indulge!

First, the wait was too long but I figured they were cooking to order. I got salmon and what they called seasoned rice (a la cart). The salmon was overcooked and dry. The "seasoned" rice was plain white rice with frozen mixed vegetables barely seasoned but without island flavor. The plantain seemed like an afterthought. Finally, it was grossly overpriced at $26.50! I would give it 1 star but that would be rude. I will try another dish just in case it was a bad night.

Not what I expected for a Roti, never again.

Not what I expected for a Roti. Never again, don't have nothing else to say. No, no, no, no. Its curry chicken not jerk.

Breadfruit, bammy, and plantain
Brianna W.

Stopped by to see what they had to offer and it was the best decision ever! When entering, we were greeted by Davia, who was super friendly and informing. She guided us through our order since we were conflicted in what to get. They had a Easter Fish Fry Dinner for the weekend so we decided to give it a try. It was so delicious! It was so flavorful, and covered in pickled peppers and onions. It had different options of sides but we went with breadfruit, bammy, and plantain. The sides complimented the dish very well. The drink was fruit punch and pineapple ginger mixed and the flavors were so dang good! Highly recommend to anyone!

This is Oxtails with extra gravy and red beans with rice.

I did my order online and it said 45 minutes it would be ready. I still got there 15 minutes later and it still wasn't ready. I had to wait an additional 7 minutes. Mind you I was waiting in line for the people in front of me to get there orders. So that was 5-8 more minutes. The young lady at the register informed me they were busy. That I could understand thats why I came a little later. I think they should inform the apps that the orders are taking longer, so you won't be waiting around. If the food wasn't good I would have been very upset.

Caribbean Dynasty Restaurant & Lounge - Baltimore…read more I stopped by Caribbean Dynasty for a lunchtime bite, and the owner was pleasant. The restaurant is easy to find, with close-by paid parking. I tried the sample plate with curry chicken, white rice, and cabbage. The curry chicken was flavorful and tender -- truly delicious! The cabbage was seasoned just right, adding that authentic Caribbean touch. I was a little surprised to receive white rice instead of rice & peas (which I usually expect with Caribbean dishes), so that was a little disappointing. I was expecting $18 value platter but received a ($15) value platter. It appears it may come alive at night -- with a DJ, happy hour specials, and a lounge vibe. Overall, Caribbean Dynasty offers great flavors, friendly service for a grab a go lunch order .

I'll start with the positive. Our Waiter was nice. Very pleasant. But otherwise very disappointed…read morein this place. We are not native to Maryland but was Hungary after the R&B event on the Water. The Restaurant was not crowded when we arrived but had to wait over an hour for our food. Our order was simple. We had 3 order of Wingettes (Lemon Pepper, Honey Lemon Pepper, Thai Chili & Old Bay), Rice & Beans, Chicken Pattie and Coco Bread. Only Wingettes worth the time was the normal Lemon Pepper. They were Fried & seasoned perfectly. They also were a decent size. The other Wingettes were overcooked and lacking flavor. Maybe they looked so small because of how overcooked they were. We waited too long to send them back and risk waiting another hour!!! I've had some delicious Honey Lemon Pepper and this had no semblance of it. I tasted some Honey & it was from the plate and not the wingette. The Rice & Beans was dry. The Chicken patty was overcooked. Never saw a burnt one in a Restaurant or at least not served to someone. We wasn't drunk enough to enjoy the food. (I don't drink so... was not working for me ). The Coco Bread was good (probably because they didn't have to cook it). The worse part is we waited over an hour!!! Yes the Waiter was apologetic but it was NOT worth the wait. What a terrible representation of a business. I can't understand a bad night when this is what you do for a living. Just was not good. It's the worst restaurant I've been to. I do not recommend.

It looks unassuming from the street, but inside it's modern, comfortable, and welcoming. The music was great too; it added to the whole atmosphere.

I also love supporting a Black-owned restaurant!

Yard gets 2 stars from me. Unfortunately, the food and the price just didn't line up…read more Right off the bat, the water had a weird taste to it, almost like a slight soap-like aftertaste. Both me and my guest noticed it, so it wasn't just me. We both ordered the oxtail sandwichs, with my guest got Brussels sprouts and I got the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was probably the best thing I had. I'd order it again, although I could've done without what I'm pretty sure were chunks of garlic mixed in. The oxtail sandwich, though, was pretty disappointing. The oxtail itself wasn't particularly flavorful, the cocoa bread wasn't as sweet as I expected, and mine was slightly burnt. Overall, it was just okay. The biggest issue for me was the price. They automatically add a 20% gratuity, and after everything was said and done, we paid around $90 for two entrees and two sides. I have no problem spending money on food when the experience is worth it, but when I compare what I paid to how the food actually tasted, the value just wasn't there. If the prices were lower, I could probably justify giving this 3 stars. But at around $90 for what we got, I just cant give it more than 2 stars.

They have a great happy hour menu (3-6pm) and they even have brunch with a DJ on the weekends. There is seating outside of that's your vibe. Great customer service. My only complaint would be that they are. a little pricey! Four Wingettes is $9!! Curry shrimp $33 and so on. Also for the price I feel you should get a little more food for example $25 for a jerk chicken meal and you only get a thigh and drum plus 2 sides for $25! Come on that's steep. But I will stay the flavors are very nice so I guess I am not too upset. Also the cost of food and the prices going up everywhere, I guess I can't blame them. The business for to make there profit as well. All in all, I will be back for brunch lol

I tried this place around the time they first opened and don't believe there were any real issues…read more Let me say that my expectations of West Indian food in this area (DC, Maryland, VA) are pretty low though, so I am never expecting spectacular from any of these places. However, my recent experience will probably deter me from returning. Let's start with the positive: Meats were flavorful and cooked well ( chicken and turkey) -9/10 Pikliz was really good-10/10 Cabbage was a little oily and really soft, but still 7/10 Mac au gratin was borderline cold, which was odd since everything else was hot. Flavor is good though. 8/10 Now to why I won't be coming back: Haitians have the best rice, whether people will admit it or not. I had an order of diri sos pwa and djon djon. Not only was this bad Haitian rice, it was probably the worst rice I ever had! The plain rice was so bland and dry that I didn't even bother with the sos pwa. The djon djon coloring was good so I thought it would be legit- NOPE. It's like they took the pre cooked rice you get in the bags and made it for these meals. No taste to any of it was beyond disappointing. Lastly, the turkey is actually ONE wing... so one wing with dry rice was almost 20.00. Never seen that before and was not happy with that option. Keeping it at 3 because the meats of pikliz.

I highly recommend to make a reservation since it was busy when we arrived and throughout the rest of night. Our server, Shaniyah, was amazing!

The honey jerk lamb chops, salmon, macaroni and cheese, kale, and mashed potatoes are all good options to order off the menu. You will not be disappointed! Can't wait to visit again when in town! Also, please allot additional time before your reservation to find parking in that area.

The line was out the door--even with a reservation, we had to stand outside in the cold. And I'm anemic, so standing out there shivering felt like punishment (at this point, I'm basically an ice sculpture by the door). When we finally got seated, they put us at the table right by the entrance--every time that door opened, a breeze hit me like a slap from Elsa herself . The bar was packed too, which sucked because I would've loved to sit there with my partner and vibe. It was clear they were super short-staffed. No waitress ever came to our table--we had to scan a QR code, order through our phones, and even pay before the food came. Felt more like a fast-casual spot than a nice dinner date. Our drinks took forever and when they finally arrived, they were watered down and weak. By that point we were ready to go, but since we already paid through the mobile menu, we were stuck. It took about 45 more minutes to get our food. By now I couldn't even feel my fingers or toes. But when that food hit the table? Whewww... it slapped ‍ Everything we ordered was chef's kiss. My partner and I both agreed the food was the one saving grace of the entire experience. It was flavorful, fresh, and worth the hype. Just wish we could've actually enjoyed it. We spent a good amount of money and left feeling like we would've been better off just DoorDashing it and eating at home with some Netflix. My partner, who never complains, was genuinely upset about the lack of a server. And I get it--dining out is supposed to be an experience, not just a transaction. So overall... this is a mixed review. Food? 5 stars, no doubt. Experience? 1 star, and I'm being generous. I'll probably try them again on a super slow day (whenever that is), but as far as this visit goes, I'm leaving a 3-star rating--and that's only because the food was so good.
