Wake Up Your Mouth with Ja Patty! Not too spicy, but my oh my what flavor with a nice 'Happy Heat' that makes their incredibly delicious food moreish. The blend of herbs and spice, mixed with a light handed tamarind is what will make me coming back for more and more. I know my traditional New Englanders are shy on heat, but this is a black pepper, allspice, thyme, ginger kinda heat with a bit of fire added in for kicks. I ordered the Jerk Chicken Rice Bowl with Coconut Rice, their slaw and a sweet plantain. Can I channel Oliver Twist here and ask, "More please?" I also ordered the Jerk Chicken Patty. I wasn't sure what to expect as some are so greasy and heavy handed with the lard/oil or whatever they use in the pastry. Not Ja Patty's! The pastry was extremely light and the filling delicious although I would've liked a bit more Jerk flavor/seasoning inside. It was so good nonetheless. Order online or better yet drive there. Shake up that boring routine that we all fall into - Same 'ole, same 'ole. There is absolutely nothing "Same 'ole" about Ja Patty. Go! read more

Stopped by today on my way out to do errands and enjoyed the jerk chicken rice bowl and mango carrot juice. Yum! Colorful space with bouncy reggae music to listen to while you eat. They offer both take out and catering services, too. I love supporting small, local businesses! read more

Ja Patty - Jerk chicken, coconut rice, plaintains - Food Trucks Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Without a doubt the customer service is amazing, the food however wasn't what I was expecting. I ordered the jerk chicken rice bowl which came with Jamaican jerk chicken, coconut white rice (opt for the rice & peas instead) Jamaican slaw and sweet plantains. I also had to get a Jamaican patty and a bev. The Jamaican Jerk was more like pulled pork and it had more of a bbq flavor than jerk, the slaw could've been a bit more seasoned but the rice and sweet plantains had a nice flavor. I love Jamaican patty's but this one was missing that kick and flavor I was looking for. It kinda just tastes like ground beef in dough. To wash everything down I picked the Jamaican kola and it was pretty good. Overall I paid $32.40 and enjoyed the experience of trying something new. I took my lunch home but this location does offer setting inside! read more

I love these Pattys! I've also gone in to eat and got the rice bowls and the jerk chicken. I mostly get the to-go bags. Inside the bag, there are directions on how to how heat the Patty's. Ive had the veggie (chick pea) and the beef. Both are great! read more

Ja Patty - Food Trucks Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

this review is for the food truck version of this establishment. the jamaican beef patty and spicy sauce was really delicious. the service was very prompt and the patty was piping hot when i got it. the price was $7 and i am not familiar with average prices for a patty so that seemed okay to me given the patty was the size of my hand and beef filling was oozing out. i would eat this again and try the other patties. read more

I was so excited to try this when I saw the truck at the Water Lantern Festival but it was just okay. I ordered a Jerk Chicken patty and was expecting shredded jerk chicken with sauce but it was ground and was more like a beef patty. The pastry part was also just okay - no distinct seasoning or taste and I feel like there was more bread / pastry than meat. The service was good - workers were kind & quick. While I wouldn't try the Jerk patties again, I would love to try the delicious bowls I saw other people with! read more

Ja Patty - Jerk chicken bowl - Food Trucks Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I have tried JA Patty's food a few times already and I just did not feel even the strength to write about my food experiences.....the experiences had always been underwhelming, but the straw that broke the camel's back was today's experience at the Empanada Fest. Every vendor knew they were going to sell about 300+ tickets for the festival, so I heard from several vendors .. "we got over 400 pieces for the event". This JA Patty ran out of empanadas around 4:45pm (the event ran from 4p-6p) So more than half of the people that got tickets for tasting 8 samples only got to try 7 because these people were so disorganized or slack on their approach that they did not make enough for the event... Really not a big deal because I had one of the early empanadas and it was awful...the worst one of the 8 samples I tasted. The baked empanada sample had a soft wimpy dough with no texture nor bite, the filling inside was bland and they give you sauce so you can dunk the empanada in...to give it some kind of flavor....did not work.........Do yourself a favor and if you see them selling stuff at an event ..... pick something else...... No pictures, they don't deserve them.... read more

I tried with tgtg app. I ordered 2, 1 has 3 chicken patties, the other one has 2 chicken patties and 1 apple patty. The patties have thick flour shells and not enough meat inside. The meat also tastes dry. I don't think it should cost $18 original. I paid $5.99+tax for each pack. I was expecting more than this. read more

So maybe I can't go to Jamaica this year, but I can still taste some delicious Jamaican food right here in RI! Ja Patty is one of the most delicious food trucks that we have visited to date. Everything has the Jamaican feel to it from the drinks, to the rice bowls, and of course the patties. I specifically went on a day to try the oxtail rice bowl, and it did not disappoint! So tender and full of flavor! The beans and rice as well as the slaw went perfectly with this tasty dish, and every bit was equally as delicious. I got to try some of the jerk chicken, and it was very good as well. Flavorful, but I would not call it spicy, so don't be afraid to give it a try! We both ordered the traditional beef patties. As this was our first patty experience, we wanted to do traditional. I found it comparable to a meat pie, but one that you could hold in your hand. They were very tasty, and the crust was perfection! I will try some of their other flavors on our next trip. For desert we did the apple pie patty, as everyone absolutely should do! This is not the processed item that you would get at McDonalds, this is homemade Jamaican goodness! The owners are super nice people and their food is incredible! I don't care where you are, make plans to visit these guys today! It is so worth the trip!!! read more

I really wanted to love these veggie patties, but the taste just wasn't there for me. I tried the ital curry patty and the callaloo patty. They weren't bad by any means but they weren't delicious either. I liked the dumplings. The festival threw me off because it seemed like the same wheat dough as the dumpling and not cornmeal. read more

Best oxtail I've had in RI since I moved up here. The jerk chicken bowl and patty are good as well read more

Ja Patty - Oxtail - Food Trucks Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I was just searching this food truck online because it is by far my favorite ever and was wondering where it would be next. Shocked by the low Yelp review rating because the food is so delicious! The bowls (jerk chicken or veggie) are so healthy and delicious, and will fill you up. I also love love the beef patties. I have been to Jamaica and this food brings me right back. Highly recommend. read more

Had the jerk chicken bowl at a music festival. Amazing! Excellent flavors and just enough spice. read more

Ja Patty - Jerk chicken bowl with plantains - Food Trucks Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Ja Patty is usually located on Mineral Spring Ave and Sundays at Shannon View Inn. They have a very user-friendly online ordering system (convenient for COVID). They stuck out to me because they actually make their patties from scratch, instead of rely on frozen which is what most Jamaican restaurants use it seems. A group of us ordered a variety of things like the jerk chicken rice bowl, curry veggie bowl, oxtail and beef patty. Food tasted really fresh and made with love. My critique is that it is on the under-seasoned side and there is not enough gravy to go with all the rice. The curry veg and jerk chicken for example came with a disproportionate amount of rice to the good stuff. The patty was tasty and had a great pastry texture. Just again needs slightly more seasoning and sauciness to make it perfect. read more

Went to Food Truck Event in Portsmouth RI on June 25 and was considering Oxtail and rice but at the last minute I changed it to 3 Patties, 2 beef, 1 chicken. Anyway, they were on the counter before I finished ordering which should have been a sign to not take them, but I did. They were lukewarm and THE DRIEST THING I'VE EVER PUT IN MY MOUTH. Rather then complain that it felt like I stuffed a ball of flour in my mouth, I asked for hot sauce to maybe lube it up so I could swallow, and received a gingery tasting spicy liquid, that didn't help the situation. I've eaten patties regularly from trucks in my 20 years driving a truck, and normally it's hard to mess up, but I couldn't eat them and it was a waste of $21. read more

The least flavorful Jamaican food I've ever had in my life with undercooked non flaky Pattie's. I wanted to like this but

Finally got the chance to try Ja Patty at the Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival in Newport. I had the curry veggie patty ($5.50). It was filled with fresh vegetables and potato in a flaky pastry crust. I'm impressed by how buttery their vegan pastry tastes! It was not spicy at all so I kind of wish they had some hot sauce on the side or something. It was pretty filling for the price but if you're looking for a full meal they also have a lunch set option. Would try their vegan dessert patty next time! read more

Been to a few breweries and noticed they would always be set up. Eventually, I wanted a beef patty and was not disappointed since! Been plenty times for the patties, 1st time trying the coconut rice and loved it. Jerk chicken entree is next! read more

Food truck was at Buzzards Bay Brewery last night. $15 for jerk rice bowl. 1/4 cup of jerk chicken, 2 tablespoons of packaged cabbage. The rest was rice. No sauce no vegetables. What a total waste of money. read more

I was so excited when we stumbled upon this food truck while at an apple picking farm one Sunday, but my excitement quickly turned into disappointment once I actually tasted the food. Given all of the positive reviews, I'm not sure if we caught them on a bad day, but the jerk chicken bowl was a huge let down. The chicken was the least spicy jerk that I have ever tasted, and both the rice and chicken were bland. Do yourself a favor and find another Jamaican food spot to patronize--this ain't it, chief. read more

I had a chance to try Ja Patty at the Hope Street Winter Block Party. The service was excellent, the person who took my order was kind and offered suggestions on which kind of patty to order. When I wasn't sure which kind of dipping sauce to try, they gave me a few free samples. The crust was perfectly flaky and the meat inside tender and well seasoned. I will definitely order more next time I see their food truck! read more

We visited Ja Patty at the recent RI VegFest and got a couple of their patties to go. We bought one "Ital" Curry Patty and one Callaloo Patty. They were served with little containers of mystery sauce for dipping. We heated them up before eating them, which I think served them well. These were fairly sizable patties which were well stuffed in proportion to the dough and were initially cooked to a nice crisp. Cutting them in half exposed the ample fillings of each. When sliced, the "Ital" Curry Patty with potatoes, carrots, onions and green peas revealed each individual ingredient. The dough was a nice consistency and thickness. It's curry flavor was a bit too mild for our expectations, however that fact let the vegetables really shine. The Callaloo Patty was stuffed with sauteed spinach and "mini Jamaican dumplings". The seasonings in this patty were also mild, which meant the spinach was really allowed to be tasted and wasn't overwhelmed by flavoring as it can easily be. We each tried the dipping sauce with both patties. Simply put, it was weird. Very sweet to the point that a small enough amount couldn't possibly have been added to make it a pleasant addition. It had the taste of sweetened apple sauce. We tried it on both patties to be fair, and it didn't work on either. Sauce omitted, we really enjoyed Ja Patty's offerings and at the fair price of $5 per patty, we would definitely return to them for more. read more

What a great addition to Pawtucket! I put my order in online (I didn't know the tip was figured in so they got tipped twice), scheduled pickup for 330p and voila! The truck is shiny and clean, easy to find across Mineral Spring Ave from Lorraine Sewing. Both owners were present, very nice people! I ordered the Coconut Curry Veggie Rice Bowl and a Curry Veggie Patty - both absolutely delicious! I'm so happy they have vegetarian options, but the menu has meat options as well, including goat and oxtail. They even have real imported Jamaican soft drinks. I tried the Pineapple Ginger, so good on a hot day. Reasonable prices, great food, nice people!! I'll be back (that was my Schwarzenegger impression...) read more

As a Jamaican I really wanted to love JA Patty RI but unfortunately the food is extremely bland and tastes nothing like authentic/traditional Jamaican food. They have a lot of positive reviews, but it must be from people who are not from the Caribbean, and who haven't had actual Jamaican food before. I was rooting for you JA Patty, but I can't lie I'm disappointed. read more

The food is so good. Me and my fiancee grab food from here pretty regularly. Their sweet tamarind ginger sauce is to die for!

really bland.. i tried 3 different versions of the patties. the jerk chicken was a little spicy but really dry as were the other 2 versions.

Patties had no flavor, no traditional seasoning or blended veggies. The jerk sauce to add spice was very bland and the rest of the food is way over priced. The only authentic tasting thing on the truck is the Cola and Ting. Keep the flavor, salt, spice! Good marketing will only last so long, keep it authentic please read more
