Brown Stew Chicken
Merri D.

This place is decent and convenient to the area with a small area for parking in front. I got the Brown Stew chicken with rice and peas, and plantain, which is not included in the meal and is considered an additional side if I recall correctly. I also got the homemade/storemade ginger beer (it is non-alcoholic); if you love ginger this is perfect but be forewarned it is very strong and ginger forward. With tax the total was about $25. This is the closest to authentic brown stew chicken I've had in the area, and the rice and peas was also good. Good portion size too. I will be back to try out some of the other dishes. Nice welcome to the neighborhood.

"Jerk" shrimp
Liz P.

I ordered 2 beef patties, jerk shrimp/peas&rice/plantain, curry chicken/peas&rice/plantain and a roti. I was not impressed, as someone of Caribbean descent. The curry chicken and rice&peas were good portions. The plantains were not sweet or soft. The patties are located on the counter top and after 20min I had to go up to the counter and ask for the patties, which they seemed to have forgotten about. The "jerk" shrimp was made with a spicy tomato based sauce, which isn't my understanding of jerk seasoning. The roti was hard and barely warm. I'm very disappointed and unfortunately wouldn't recommend this establishment for authentic Jamaican cuisine.

Oxtail
Shani L.

Great amount of food and top quality. It's just kissing the Caribbean flavor. It's like they used no spices, herbs or even salt. Located in a co-kitchen with plenty of parking. You put your order in a tablet and the food comes out of a pickup shelf within 20 minutes. I will not return because of lack of flavor but if you don't like salt this might be a healthier option.

Oxtails with vegetables and Mac and cheese
Quinncee P.

I was craving some oxtails, so tried this place out based on reviews. It's a takeout/delivery app only type of place and I opted for delivery. There's a good selection of items on the menu to choose from. Everything was packed in a sturdy container and delivered in a sturdy paper bag. Though I'd normally want my items sectioned off a bit better because of the amount of liquid the oxtails were in, I didn't mind it too much since it was good. I really enjoyed the Mac and cheese, and the oxtails were big, tender, and flavorful. I got an extra serving, but I'm sure the portion size would have been great without that. Definitely hit the spot. I personally wasn't as much of a fan of the mixed veg since it's basically the frozen mix, but everything else was delicious. I look forward to trying this place again.

What I received: rice & peas, Mac & cheese and curried goat. The only thing was correct was the rice.

Oh my god. The moment the oxtail entered my mouth, my world was forever changed. An explosion of…read moreunique and heavenly flavors. It was so tender and flavorful, literally falling off the bone. The curry goat as well was incredibly good, very tender and a lot of meat. Rice and peas was the best side I tried. Some of the best food I have ever tasted, I am not exaggerating. Portions were great, left feeling STUFFED. Service was kind, professional, and actually very quick. Menu was super straightforward and easy to understand, even for someone who has never eaten Jamaican food before. It's extremely clean and professional inside, very welcoming. And prices are very reasonable, especially considering the size of the portions. Would definitely suggest getting the oxtail with rice and peas and some sort of vegetable for the best all around eating experience. Jerk chicken patty is also a nice option if you're looking for something quicker. Please try this place. You will NOT be disappointed.

I then waited another 45 minutes for the food and was told it would take an additional seven minutes - -turned into 20mins for the beef patty. The restaurant clearly has high customer traffic, so I hope the food is good enough to justify the excessive wait. However, the lack of communication, urgency, and any attempt to compensate for the delay made the overall service experience extremely disappointing. Food satisfaction: Pending.

The staff are always friendly and make good conversation, and the drinks are always a good strength. Most recently, I tried one of the flavored margaritas and left very pleased! When I come here, I typically get the curry goat, which comes with rice, chickpeas, and potatoes. The most recent time I visited, the potatos were going to take a little longer to cook, so they offered me a choice between cabbage or greens instead. I went with the collard greens, and they were really good! They seemed to be cooked with a lot of butter, which was new for me when it comes to collard greens, but I still loved them overall. Bammy's is located in Navy Yard, so parking isn't always the easiest. But if you're able to snag a spot or you're already walking around the area, I definitely recommend stopping by!

It took almost 20 minutes for the food on a Thursday afternoon. I appreciated the self order kiosk but you'd with all hands on meals it wouldn't take as long. As for the food, it was a big miss unfortunately. The cabbage was mushy. Decent taste though. The peas in the rice were hard and undercooked. The jerk chicken was cooked nice and moist. However, they put a mango sauce on top which maybe its me, but that was not the play. The beef patty was the best part of the meal but was one of the flattesr patties I've ever had. I may try to go back and try something else since its super close but I'm not going to rush to do so.

The menu is…read moredesigned around sharing, which was an interesting take I wasn't expecting but the quality more than makes up for it. The staff was incredibly attentive, professional, and thoughtful, I was really delighted with everyone's service. The space is dimly lit, cozy, and intimate which falls in line with a nice date night The oysters were easily some of the best I've had, and the shrimp creole and Ben's bowl were just as impressive. The lamb sauce deserves its own shoutout because I genuinely couldn't get enough of it. The wagyu oxtails were incredibly tender, could barely pick it up with my fork, practically falling off the bone. The drinks were great, too, we got a Sorel Ricky but there's definitely a solid selection to choose from. I'd heard great things about Dogon, and they will definitely see me again!

Having eaten at Maroon this past summer, my expectations were extremely high. Perhaps that's the problem. Maroon was a 10/10 from the moment I entered; last night, not so much. I'm kinda kicking myself this morning that I tipped our server well over 20%, because reflecting in this morning's light, she wasn't great! Her service wasn't the main issue. I arrived before my party and sat at the bar. The cocktail list, although there is a full-bar, is very limited. I ordered the Sorrel cocktail and it is juicy and spicy, simply yummy. I was surprised that there isn't a specialty drink featuring each base liquor. I often gravitate to vodka, and feel the rum I had last night. The food . . . As always, I order a lot. I want to try all the recommendations and then some. Starting with the tuna was lovely. I was surprised by how well the fish stood-up to the sauce. Avocado and tuna is a classic pairing, and I did enjoy the ideal touch of ever so thinly sliced onion. Next arrived the famous Hoe Crab. It was nice enough, but there was an imbalance with the size of the cakes and the portion of the crab served. The sauce didn't add or diminish the dish. That's not a good thing. Ben's Bowl came next, and I think this is an ode to Ben's Chili Bowl, but after having the dish, I think I'm completely off-base. There was so much going on with these covered "fritter-like" bites, my brain was confused, and that was confirmed by my mouth. The curry did waken my olfactory nerves. It's a convenient bite, but in my mouth it all turned to mush with very little standing out. I mean was it beef? lamb? A heads-on shrimp dish came out, but I didn't try it. I mention it's heads-on because one person in my party was distraught by the presentation; I thought it looked beautiful. I was very excited to try the Curry Branzino. I did listen carefully to the server's description of the dish, but I was still surprised by the bones in the dish. The same traumatized diner in my party refused to try it. The fish was cooked perfectly, the skin had an exciting crunch. It was worthy, although the pond of sauce overwhelmed the dish a bit. I also don't remember the Callaloo in the dish. I think it came with a highly-seasoned rice and peas side. I specifically use highly-seasoned because I believe there's seasoning, and then there's salty. The BBQ Greens were a complete miss for me. Maroon's coconut greens set the bar. Maroon is also the reason I didn't order steak at Dōgon, IYKYK. I am ruined for life, and will probably never enjoy another steak like the absolute transcendece that is steak at Maroon. I am probably not like most people, but I don't like mushy greens. This dish stepped across the line between done and overcooked. I also think something's missing from the "BBQ" Greens -- perhaps an element of smoke? more acid? I also think the portion is way off with this dish. Thank goodness the Chicken and Rice came next, although I'm confused about Jollof Rice. This chicken was the star of the night. Charred and grilled to perfection, tender but still chewy. The chicken is the way to go! I've heard so much about Jollof Rice, but I don't get it. What I had last night was a seasoned, salty version of dirty rice. I guess I'm comparing this rice to the various versions of peas and rice, and rice and peas I've had from throughout the Caribbean and the Americas. Perhaps my expectation was too high. We finished the night with Rum Cake. Thank goodness I asked if this was like a traditional Jamaican Rum Cake. It's also nothing like the famous Tortuga Rum Cake I've eaten often in the Bahamas. This dessert does hold its own. It's a light, delicious cake with a stunning and delightful crust. I'm thrilled I've supported Chef Kwame Onwuachi across his journey. Last night wasn't a 10/10, but I thoroughly enjoyed this moody spot full of attractive, diverse people, and would do it again.
