the food was great. The goat head soup on Saturday hit the spot!!! FLAVOR!!!!! With just enough spice. All the vegetables in it were perfectly tender. Not over cooked or breaking apart. The brown stew chicken was amazing. I had it with rice and peas And veg. I couldn't stop eating it. I thought about saving some because it was a good amount of food but I kept going. The fried shrimp was perfection. light and extremely crispy. I'd go Back a thousand times for that. Rum punch had just enough punch. lol. The staff was very attentive. not once did i get the typical "we nuh have dat" but instead i received a let me check. That's a new experience in a Jamaican restaurant. The food, the staff, the drinks, the music all on point. Definitely a 10/10. read more

I've been coming here since they opened a few years ago and I recently was going to try a new place down the street but my meal last night reminded me to stick with them! The oxtail was falling off the bone and well seasoned, the rice and peas was "Shelly" and flavorful with a hint of pepper. And I love that they started including plantain with the meal, please keep it up. The service is always quick and pleasant when I do pick up orders and the restaurant is always clean and vibrant. read more

Jamaican Rhythm - Oxtail - Caribbean Near Me - Baldwin, New York

I've visited this location many times back when it was a different establishment, but eventually stopped going. When the new restaurant took over, I kept hearing great things and decided to give it a try. My husband had actually been bringing food home for a while, he goes to the barbershop across the street, and every time I tasted it, I was impressed. I finally went myself and ordered the escovitch fish, and it was absolutely worth it. It was made fresh to order and was hands down the best escovitch fish I've had from a restaurant in a long time. I also tried the fried breadfruit, cornmeal porridge, beef patties, and ackee and saltfish, everything was delicious. The rum punch is amazing as well! I'm really looking forward to going back to dine in because I'm beyond impressed. It's not easy to find truly authentic and flavorful Jamaican food on Long Island. Usually, you have to travel to Brooklyn or Queens, but honestly, this place competes with and even surpasses many spots there. I truly hope this restaurant continues to thrive. It's refreshing to experience such high quality food and passion in every dish. Big up to the chef, you're doing an incredible job! read more

I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional quality of the food and the high standard of customer service. Furthermore, the restaurant offers a wonderfully inviting ambiance. I look forward to recommending this establishment to my personal and professional network. read more

We ordered take out to have Jamaican food picnic at the beach. We came around noon on a Sunday & ordered jerk pork, jerk chicken & oxtail. The wait is not that long, but we have to change one of our orders midway through our wait because we were told the jerk chicken wont be ready in another 30 min or so. so we swapped it for fried chicken instead. All the 3 dishes were delicious, flavorful & if its spicier it would have been a plus! i just happen to like spicy food. The rice taste so good & the serving is good for 2. The price is also reasonable. One drawback though the young lady at the cashier looks very impatient when taking our order. She gives the impression she's tired to entertain any basic question about the menu when infact we are the only customers at the resto at that time. Despite this we will still come back & try other dishes when visiting this part of Long island! read more

I was in the mood for some Jamaican food and Rock and Come In popped up on my search. The reviews were mixed, but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and try them out. I called for takeout and the reception could have been better, but I suppose that's all they were capable of giving. I was told that I could come right away and the food would be ready. I ordered the Rasta Pasta with Jerk Chicken. I arrived there in less than 15 minutes. Upon entering the establishment the place was not busy in the least. Only one other individual was sitting at the counter. I saw a bag on the counter. It so happened to be mine. A woman behind the counter went over the contents of the bag before ringing up the meal. The bottom of the bag didn't feel hot, so I'm not sure how long the food was sitting out. I was still hopeful that the food was hot, but upon opening up the container of food, because I was hungry, the food was lukewarm and the chicken looked dry, but tasted OK. After a few bites, the food was no longer pleasant. There was a lot of oil sitting at the bottom and middle of the container and the pasta was soggy. Almost as if it was reheated. It didn't look fresh. The picture is what's left of the meal. I dread having to eat anymore and the sight of all that oil just turns my stomach. read more

Jamaican Rhythm - Oily food - Caribbean Near Me - Baldwin, New York

I must say this is probably the best curry chicken I've ever had THats from a restaurant. I grew up with plenty of west Indian friends, & so you could imagine .. the amount of food i was fed! Their moms is cooking was the best! The curry chicken head so much flavor and it wasn't overly spicy that I got to enjoy the chicken. The rasta pasta.... WOW. I wanted to lick my plate clean. What I liked about the curry and rasta pasta was that it was not dry. It was soooo moist and delicious, The roti was warm, soft, and fluffy.. i actually wished i got more. The steam veggies are always a hit for me. Will definitely... most definitely order again read more

Perfection! Wow I might just be reallyyyyy hungry but this food is sooooo yummy! The jerk salmon has a nice kick to it. Decently sized piece and not dry. The curry shrimp is not overdone and the fried chicken OMG The delivery was a bit long. We got notified that they got busy and It was delayed. However, it is well worth the late. Such a huge portion in all. I will definitely be ordering again. read more

Ordered during the Pandemic. Door Dash pickup order advised would be ready in 35 minutes. Door Dash called to advise that there was no Escovitz Chicken so that we could substitute. Enabled us to order Large Curry Goat. This was fresh and authentic and well seasoned, cooked until the goat was fall off the bone tender. Even though it was curry, we detected some jerk seasoning (clove, allspice, thyme I'm guessing?) Ox tail with Fried Chicken Combo enabled us to have two other meats in one at 19.99 price. The Fried Chicken was not greasy and well seasoned. The ox tail was well seasoned and fall off the bone delicious. There was not a lot of fat in the ox tail sauce. The Mac n Cheese was delicious and made more like a casserole the way my mom made it, with the cheese on the top and not homogenized as a cheese blend throughout. This was delicious. The steamed vegetables were seasoned cabbage which wasn't overcooked: nice and crunchy and tasted great. The surprise of the meal was the Rasta Pasta side which was quiet generous. At first I thought that there was a different mac n cheese. This was al dente ziti with a delicious pepper, parmesan, light cream with again possible hint of jerk seasoning ingredients. All for under $50 including combo and larger goat order. The order was ready 5 minutes before the app predicted and the woman at the counter advised to hold the shopping bag from the bottom for support. No contact pleasant interaction and pleasant staff. I suggest bringing your own reusable shopping bag to prevent spills on the way home. read more

Jamaican Rhythm - Curry Goat, Rasta Pasta, Dumplings - Caribbean Near Me - Baldwin, New York

Ordered Takeout for lunch. Got the Jerk Chicken meal, Curry Goat meal, jerk chicken fried rice, and Jerk por with Fries. I can say just about everything we ordered was good. The curry goat was the star, the jerk chicken was a close second. The jerk pork was a bit too fatty. There was a lot to manage on that one. I tend to prefer my jerk pork a bit more well done. The fat was not rendered like I like. The jerk fried chicken was the one item I would not order again. The rice was tasty and had lots of great add ins. The jerk chicken breast was dry and hard and lacked any jerk flavor. I actually picked it out. I say go ahead and order food here but just don't get the jerk chicken fried rice expecting tender pieces of jerk chicken. read more

So I happened to be parked right outside this spot. Saw several people go in and out for take out. Decided to try it. Picked up the jerk chicken with Mac and cheese, plantains and veggies. Festival and rum cake... I got the medium size and it's big enough to save half for another day. The jerk chicken was yummy. They included a BBQ sauce on the side and that was very tasty too. I am not a fan of this style Mac and cheese. I ate some of it but threw out the rest. Perhaps you'll like it but just not my thing. I prefer it to have a cheese sauce not just stiff cheese melted on. The festival kind of has a donut texture to it. It's not bad but not for me. The rum cake was ok. It was pretty dense though. You get a nice kick of rum when you bit into it. Wish they offered a rum syrup on the side to pour over it. They gave me a huge Togo paper shopping bag. Could of fit about 7-8x the food in there. I'd been much happier with a smaller more manageable bag. Anyway, if I came back it would be for that jerk chicken. I don't live in the area so... read more

Jamaican Rhythm - Jerk chicken, Mac and cheese with plantains and veggies - Caribbean Near Me - Baldwin, New York

Everytime I call and order the person has a crazy attitude always something been coming here for years spending $$$$ cause this food is so expensive two people $40 for take out on food that is sometimes cold and they get the orders wrong Will be the last time I'm spending my $$ here read more

I've tried this spot a handful of times for take out and a delivery, enough so I feel comfortable to give it a fair rating. The food is good to very good, with generous portions. But there's usually something that keeps me from giving it 5 stars. Sometimes the food is only warm, even when picked up right away. Not a huge deal. My wife's family is Jamaican so she says some recipes, like the oxtail, aren't made true to her memory, but my family is Bajan and it tastes good to me. Still, even though she notes the difference, she's reordered it, so it it's just different, not unpleasant. One dish I found perplexing is the barbecue chicken. Their version is beautifully fried extra crispy - then doused in a nondescript bbq sauce! I got it for my 7 y.o. who was NOT a fan. I asked my wife if this was a Jamaican thing - she assured me it was not. The delivery was without utensils. Not a big deal, unless we had just moved in. We hadn't, but they didn't know that. Like I said, there's usually something minor to mildly detract from the experience, which is the difference between 4 & 5 stars. Once you find the dishes you like, you'll be fine. read more

I would like to start off by saying the food is amazing. The food was so good I ordered take out twice in one week. The staff is hardworking and friendly. I ordered three dinners with sides and everything was so fresh. I was able to try their jerk salmon which was well seasoned and perfectly prepared. Their rasta pasta was creamy and very flavorful. Their fried shrimp made perfectly I promise. I would recommend giving the business some time to prepare your meal because they do have a large fan base. The only reason I didn't rate 5 stars is that both times I visited there were some sides missing but I will mention it to the staff when I return again. I was also able to try their rum punch and my only recommendation is wait til you get home to drink it lol read more

I didn't love the curry chicken or the Rasta pasta. I will have to revisit. The ambiance is nice. I'm surprised on Thursday with happy hour more people don't go. I think maybe they could remove some of the tall tables to see if people may be more drawn to hanging out there. read more

Came here with a few friends last week. Thought this place would be okay due to the 3.7 rating. So we ordered 3 oxtail dinners 2 orders of mac & cheese and rasta pasta. The total came out to be $95+ which was my first suspicion. When I asked the clerk for a receipt she seemed reluctant but gave it. I noticed that they charged me an extra oxtail dinner so I went to ask for an adjustment.. although they complied I still found it unprofessional and suspicious... if thats not mad enough, the food was cold and mediocre at best. Mac and cheese was bland and the oxtail was again, mediocre. Won't be eating here EVER again. read more

Literally a hidden gem in Baldwin!! Been looking for new places to try out and I couldn't believe I have been missing out on some good eats!! As there quote from Bob Marley says, "One love, one heart , let's get together and feel alright." The food and service gives you the same feel as those words do to me! I ordered a medium curry goat with Rasta pasta steamed veggies and also there sweet chili wings with a rum punch! Let's talk about that curry goat OH MY GOODNESS!! There curry goat is SUPER delicious, tender, literally cooked to perfection!! One great thing I like about there curry goat is they don't give you meat and not so much bones!! The steamed veggies had a nice buttery taste, nicely steamed and sautéed! But there Rasta Pasta!! I must say was nicely cooked and seasoned to perfection!! Loved the peppers and flavors they combine all around!! The amount of food they give you is some big helping portions where I went into food coma, and had enough food for the next day! Rock and come in is definitely a COME IN place you must try on any foodies bucket list! read more

I decided to try something new and never noticed this little store. I decided to get the jerk chicken for myself and the jerk pork for my boyfriend which was spicy but great. If you're not into spicy then this may not be for you. The Rasta pasta was very creamy and delicious and not spicy and comes with the entree. I will be coming again to try more options. read more

FAST FAST FAST AND DELICIOUSSSSS!!! AND HUGE PORTIONS!! I mean, what more can I say? The restaurant itself is spotlessly clean, and the staff are very friendly. They even allowed me to place a last minute catering order the MORNING OF (they usually require two days notice but my catering order was small, for four people). The food is DELICIOUS - the oxtail, the curry goat, the escovetch fish, the stew chicken, literally everything. They even give LOTS of extra gravy pon mi rice and I....they know the way to a girl's heart. Love this place. read more

It's hard to find good Jamaican food on Long Island. Tropical Jerk is still the best in Nassau as far as I'm concerned. I like to try different places and I'm not super stuffy when it comes to my food, but this place is just not up to snuff. Ordered twice to give them a fair shot. The jerk chicken and Rasta pasta were underwhelming. I then had the oxtail and rice and peas which was significantly better. Because it is the closest Jamaican spot, I'll probably order from them again because it isn't bad. Would stay away from the Rasta pasta for sure. read more

Great portion size, everything is cooked well and pricing is fair. The oxtail and chicken combo let me chose which chicken I wanted so I got jerk chicken with oxtails and Rasta pasta instead of rice as well as garden salad instead of steamed veggies. Off the back go for the veggies instead the salad it isn't worth it even if it comes free with the meal. The oxtails had good flavor and it's tender. The jerk chicken was juicy and the Rasta pasta is ok but the plate altogether taste a little too sweet for my taste. The sweet chili wings somehow was less sweet then the combo and taste hot sauce in the mix but the meat itself is good. Would order again to try other items. read more

Me and my bf had a phase where we would order from this place religiously. We both have intolerances to dairy and a major habit of ordering food so we've not ordered from here in a few months. But, I am hoping I'll get to visit this place soon because I've never physically been here. We always ordered through UberEats and the food always ALWAYS comes hot. The portions are huge and very filling so you are definitely getting your money's worth, as this place is a bit pricey imo. I recommend the Rasta Pasta and Shrimp though its my go-to. read more

Amazing food, 1 of the best Caribbean restaurants. Had the Jerk Chicken, salad and steamed Veggies. The taste and spice is perfect, the Jerk sauce gives it an extra kick. My wife had the Curry Goat, steamed veggies, rice and peas. Perfect kick as well. Highly recommend. Fast delivery through Uber eats. read more

Tried to this as it popped on my Uber eats suggestions. I'm a trini, so I'm kind of hard on West Indian restaurants. I ordered the oxtail dinner with Rasta pasta, a side of Mac and cheese and a jerk chicken salad. I was NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL! Servings were plentiful, the ox was tender, mac b cheese like my moms. Can't wait to visit the actual restaurant for a little sit down meal! read more

Rock And Come In opened only about 7 weeks ago; front counter staff told us that they area doing a good business on the week end, a good enough business during the week. Not a bad start for the chancy winter opening of a new restaurant. Service was quite personal, our food came out piping hot, in a more than adequate portion for lunch, was really quite flavorful, and we enjoyed the background, reggae music. The decor is a contemporary black and grey with a pop of bright red bar height chairs, and yet, the front counter is completely bare, with no adornment whatsoever on that side of the restaurant. That may change as this establishment finds itself. On the down side, one of our dishes, the Escovitch chicken was a huge portion with three pieces of sweetly hot sauced chicken, the other order of Jerk chicken was comprised of only one, small thigh. Disappointing. There was a decent amount of rice and beans layered on the bottom of the plastic container (check out my pictures), and a small side salad. Our last concern was that the gentleman making our lunch, although he was wearing a short apron, was also wearing clothes that appeared quite dirty, most likely from wiping his hands on them. Maybe a longer apron is called for? GrubHub , DoorDash and UberEats deliver, they do catering, there is a lunch special of $7, and a decent-sized menu. read more

I'm giving them three stars because I've only tried one dish. I had the brown stewed chicken with peas n rice and cabbage, which was very good. I like that the cabbage was cooked, not like most restaurants where it's practically raw. They don't have a problem giving you lots of gravy, which I like. I will definitely be going back to try other dishes. read more

Was so looking forward to supporting this business. Had a friend join me who was traveling from Jersey. Unfortunately, the customer service was so poor. We were not greeted after we sat down the menus were tossed on the table and the young woman never said a word. When we asked her for the restroom, she pointed. She never came back to the table and never greeted us. The coldness in this atmosphere was not worth the trip. All we wanted to do is spend our money and enjoy a good meal and the attitude of the female staff member resulted in us leaving. read more

Best Jerk chicken ever! When I tasted the jerk chicken it felt just like it was made in Jamaica.

Honestly I will give them two stars to be nice. I can't say much yet other than that I used to come to this establishment all time but today I went for the first time since the new owners and they certainly weren't friendly! I was surprised to see the changes and was planning to come in with a group but I doubt I will bring them now. I need a new Jamaican place so send me suggestions yelpies! read more

Customer service is extremely important, they are extremely rude. I ordered twice from there through Uber & both times they forgot to send a portion of the food. When I call they tell me to come pick it up. If I paid extra money to order from Uber so it's convenient why would I want to drive there & pick up what they forgot to give me. I can understand once they make the mistake but twice? They are not organized. Most likely the one answering the phone doesn't own the restaurant. & if it's the owner you're in the wrong business!!! By the way the only reason it received one star from me was cause it wouldn't allow me to post my review without giving it a star. read more

I know it must be extremely difficult but how about updating your Doordash menu... I ordered CHICKEN soup not Cowfoot soup. But I was supposed to go to their site FIRST and then assume that Chicken Soup on Doordash was really cowfoot soup becaaaause? 17 dollars for soup that my sick kid won't eat. Great read more

I have eaten here and ordered take out numerous times. The food keeps getting better, and the service is great. I asked specifically for my Curried Goat (Roti) to have less sauce and less bones. When I picked it up, the cashier/waitress/owner? said that she hoped she made me happy. The prices are very fair. The fact that they cared whether they serviced me well, and they want to do the best they can do carries far and wide with me. Thank you to all of the staff (and especially the chef) who takes their time to prepare food the way I like it! read more

Yea. You should eat here. I ordered the jerk chicken with steamed veggies and Mac and cheese, everything I got I would give 10/10. They give you a lot of food too, my girlfriend ordered fried shrimp and Rasta pasta and both our plates had a lot of bang for our buck. No small portions here. Definitely worth checking out, I'll order again for sure. read more

What an expensive and completely unsatisfying meal. The Mac and cheese was worse than boxed Mac n cheese, with a huge piece of cheap cheese just melted on top. There was NO flavor! Ordered a "large" oxtail and got a container filled with rice and like 3 small pieces of underwhelming oxtail. Someone must have forgotten to season it. And who puts a cold salad in the same container with hot food? So naturally the lettuce was welted. I feel cheated and robbed of my money, because I really can't find anything decent about this meal except for the rice, I guess. Never again. read more
