Curry chicken rice and peas fried dumpling macaroni salad...
Jennifer C.

I've been coming to this place over years now And I get a little bit out of everything everything is just amazing ! You into Caribbean food they have what you need

Receipt
Rosa-lyn M.

Mac and cheese tasteless literally had no flavor just oil . Curry was good jerk good . But also charged 1$ for nothing. Cashier didn't explain why I was charged a 1 additional plus taxed on it . Waited almost 4 mins before someone realized there was a customer. This is the second time this happened. Never pay here without seeing receipt. Don't think I'll be returning there are other restaurants that have tasty buffets with out unnecessary unknown prices .no consistency here with customer service, prices or food taste .

I like that fact that I can choose what I want. Many selections and the food is good. Why 3 stars? #1. They have a big sign that says you have to pay a 4% fee to use credit cards. Ridiculous! Why not just add it in the food cost? 99% of merchants don't do this and most days, people don't walk with cash. #2. If you take one piece of oxtail, they charge you the $10 and change extra on top of your food. I'm really fussing for nothing, because I'm still going to buy food there. Lol

So we actually chose the wrong location but ended up just staying here to eat. They make you wear plastic gloves to grab the food at the buffet. First problem I had, considering it was my first time visiting was there was no labels or names for the food on the buffet except for the oxtails so it's like they expected you to know the Jamaica cuisine. It wasn't much on there I wanted and they didn't even have plantains. Plus the pricing was different for different things on the buffet also super confusing . I checked out up front and they weigh the food and I grabbed a water and a fruit juice . Remind you there was no pricing for those items . My juice ended up being $5 but wasn't worth it in my opinion. Wouldn't visit here again if in the area .

Was in the mood for some Jamaican food so decided to go to the local buffet spot. I frequented this restaurant often prior to the COVID outbreak but have up until this day avoided buffet/self service places. As you walk in there is a hand sanitizing station and plastic gloves are provided and required to be used when getting food from the buffet. Word to the wise. Be careful when preparing your plate. I had two containers...The first had rice and peas, macaroni and cheese, cabbage, curry chicken and curried goat. 2nd small container has just rice and peas with curry chicken. This totaled $27+. When I questioned the cashier about the price she informed me that since I had curried goat on my plate I was charged more. I get it, I get it! ...Those are the rules...which are in fact posted far away from the serving buffet way out of sight. The upcharge was roughly an additional $2 per pound. Not worth it for the amount of goat that I got..but..I get it. These are the rules.. Now about the food. Neither the curry chicken or goat had curry flavor. The rice was hard and also lacked flavor. I wasn't at all pleased with the experience or the food this trip. Will think twice before returning I must note that I had to pretty much scream to be heard because the music was blasting making it hard for us to hear each other. Tip: Turn down the music a couple of notches so that you can provide attentive customer service Also: have a sign posted NEAR the items that have and upcharge so that it is clear to the patrons of how much they may be charged.

Jamaica Breeze! I've been coming here for some time and this place hasn't failed me yet. It's a buffet style like menu. Their breakfast is included in my every Saturday routine before going to the hairdresser. I've had their lunch/dinner a few times, and it's always been fresh. I will say though, that their lunch/dinner menu has an extensive selection to choose from (not saying anything bad about their breakfast menu), so brace yourself. You may find yourself circling the buffet more than once. My son enjoys their Bun & Cheese which is amazing!

I like this restaurant. It's buffet style/ weigh your food type of spot. It is always crowded in here when I come. I don't mind the crowd. It just lets you know that the food is good and worth buying. The thing that I don't like is that they are sometimes too slow. I would like to be in and out of this place but that is a never. You go inside, grab a tray., and start to fill up the tray with your desired food. I love their food though. It is very tasty. I usually pack enough for about two days worth of food and it comes out to about $15 a plate. That is not bad. I have seen some reviews and people had crab legs on their plates but I have never seen crab legs when I have gone. Maybe next time.

If I tell you my office ordered catering from here two years ago and I still remember how good it…read morewas- would you believe me?? How about since that day I have NEVER seen this place open so I swore the person lied to me until last Saturday. After church it was freezing and I was about to walk home when I saw the lights on. Now I will say that I am not used ordering in a small quaint area- But BABY!! Talk about a hole in the wall hidden gem! This was one of those if you know you know moments and I risked a full $32 on two plates of food to experience pure food ecstasy. No lies just the truth- that catfish, Mac and greens will bring you to know knees in thanksgiving for all who participated in making it including the fisherman. Some slap ya momma good soul food. I would not recommend that you stand inside like I did it's to hot and stuffy but the woman inside was SWEET! There is parking out front and I have no idea what was on the menu. When I walked in the lady said this is what we have and I said I'll take two. No there is no seating area or a bathroom so I took it on home and my son and I we went to town. Everything was seasoned perfectly, the fish was crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. It HIT THE SPOT!

The food is amazing!!! The place is small no seats but the food is tasty so good!!! I just wish…read morethey gave just a little bit more on the tray!!! Where that chocolate cake at!! So good!! I am glad my daughter in law told me about this place!!! They need to expand for sure!!!

There's often a short wait, which isn't surprising given how consistently packed the dining room is. The brunch menu is stacked with crowd favorites, and the music always sets the vibe--something you can really enjoy while you eat. But the food? Phenomenal. The fried catfish was seasoned and fried to crispy perfection. The turkey wings were tender, flavorful, and cooked just right--fall-off-the-bone good. And the yams? Sweet, rich, and perfectly seasoned... honestly hard to stop eating. The macaroni was rich and satisfying, and the potato salad is always a standout for me. For dessert, I had the chocolate cake--and it was exactly how I like it: moist with real, creamy frosting that doesn't miss. The brunch sangria was also a hit. I mixed red and white, and it was smooth and refreshing. Portion sizes are generous, so you definitely leave satisfied. And Danny, the owner, really sets the tone--he's always present, checking in with guests, jumping in to help the staff, and clearly running a tight operation. Nettie's continues to be the go-to spot for soul food--consistently good, every time.

Some ordered from the brunch menu (me) and others ordered from the dinner menu. The server delivered all the plates (10) at the same time.

Such a cute place with a full bar, two dining rooms and a small parking lot in the back. Earned 4.5 stars: grits were slightly too salty.

Entering is confusing. They have 2 doors but no sign that specifically says which to use. Of course, the actual entrance is the furthest away. They do have a cute selfish wall upon entering. The place is really small. Seats about 20 people and a bar that seats maybe 5 or so. Looked like they had another side area that was for pickup orders but I didn't inspect or ask. The server (Gary) was nice and helped with all questions we had. We got red velvet waffle and catfish, sweet potato waffle and half chicken. Also got some mac n cheese and drinks..mango iced tea and a coconut lemonade. You got water and fresh hot cornbread while you waited. Food took a while but was clearly freshly made when it came out. Both waffles and drinks were really good. The chicken, catfish and mac were good too, but the proteins had a touch too much salt and the mac lacked that salt. The menu isnt vast but still has you wondering what to tey. Didn't have any alcohol but saw they only serve black owned spirit brands. They're located on a main road and have a few parking spaces around back. Note they add 20% gratuity to any size party. Music was a vibe the entire time. They never got crowded so we weren't rushed. Their business focus is more on catering than dine-in, but they do host an occasional RnBingo I've heard was a fun time. Might check that out and see about other food options.

The staff were friendly and attentive, and I had the chance to meet the owner, Bobby, who was very approachable and took the time to introduce himself. My interactions him and his team I would rate 5-stars. I value supporting Black-owned businesses, which made the visit even more meaningful. One piece of constructive feedback: I ordered fried whiting, and the fish I received did not appear to be whiting. The fish was okay overall, but I would have appreciated being informed if it was unavailable so I could have chosen something else. I'm currently avoiding red meat, chicken, and pork and eating fish only during this Lenten season, so I'm especially particular about my food orders. Because of that, not receiving what I requested was disappointing. For that reason alone, I'd rate the food 3 stars. Because the overall experience was pleasant, I will give a 4 star rating--as I do plan to return to explore other items on the menu. I might order the whiting again, but will confirm the order before leaving and will return to sample more of the menu, especially since my parents love barbecue.

We tried different options as there were four of us. Portions were plentiful and packed well. My son says he really enjoyed the bbq burnt ends. I tried the ribs and Mac and cheese, my wife the pulled pork and spicy cabbage. Rounding the order out was mom, she tried the fried chicken dinner with cabbage and yams. I'd say the only item we didn't quite enjoy was the potato salad, left a little to be desired but all in all, everyone enjoyed their meals. I'm certain it would have been even better had we eaten in the restaurant as the food was freshly made.

Their tag line is authentic and traditional and boy is it ever. I've had ribs and salmon often and never go wrong.

At the Medford location, don't let the steam table fool you, they don't slap orders and bang them out like a fast food joint. I never had a wrong order. The Medford location has some nice tables and is great for lunch, but most people come here for carry out. I have to try their new Patchogue location where it's the opposite being a dine in spot. I can't recommend this place enough. Dining in or taking out, if you're in the mood for real homemade southern soul food, Lola's has you covered!
