Small jerk chicken meal
Austen L.

Best jerk chicken I had so far in ATL. Good cook great, service was good, and the restaurant was clean and stay open late.

I went here 1/30/2025 and the food was scrumptious. I really enjoyed the beef patties. I order small oxtails. It came with rice and peas ,plantians , cabbage and oxtails. The employees were very nice and friendly. The restaurant is very clean and cool vibes. Almost made me want to leave the West Coast

Nice clean dining room.. TV's was showing the Hawks game.. Plenty of parking... Friendly staff... My party and I ordered the oxtails dinner but they were out at the time so we had to wait 1hr for them to make some more... While I waited I had a beef patty which was good and fresh.. Customer service was really good, they kept us updated on the food and when it was ready they gave us a little bit more than the normal because of the wait time.. Food was super good, oxtails, mac & cheese, and plantains... Really good and I will definitely come back, might be better to order online to avoid wait time.

We had very high hopes for this place. We'd run into a vendor originally from Jamaica and asked him what his go-to places were for authentic food and specifically oxtails. This place was the top of his list, largely for the jerk chicken. He pulled it up on his phone and showed it to us. I was excited by the recommendation because I recognized the place immediately on sight, as we are often in the same plaza for other reasons. We went in fully expecting to love it...and had the exact opposite experience. The restaurant is clean and well-lit. That's where the positive experience ends. I left my family in the car (as the children were sleeping) and went in to get food to go. The woman on the cash register was rude without provocation--my attempt to place my order was interrupted with short, snippy responses; an annoyed tone; and no eye contact. I'd studied the menu and began my order: Me: I'd like a small brown stewed red snapper, and... Her: No smalls. Only large. Me: *trying to catch her eye to see if she's joking* [I look back and forth between her and the menu behind her a few times, fully expecting her to crack a smile. She doesn't, so I study the menu again where is clearly has pricing for small and large plates listed for all items] Still me: ooookay, I'd also like an oxtail dinner. Her (to lady making plates): large red snapper and large oxtail Her (to me, still not looking at me): *gives my total* Me: *still trying unsuccessfully to catch her eye* so is there a reason there are no smalls today? Are you out of the containers, or is there something else going on? Her: *still not looking at me* no smalls ever on the seafood. It only comes in large. Me: [looking back at the menu attempting to understand] do the other dinners come in both small and large? Her: *affirms that they do* Me: why does the menu have both small and large listed for the seafood? Her: *still not looking at me* it's old, needs to be updated. Me: okay, what are my side options? Her: it comes with cabbage Me: can I swap out the cabbage on one of the plates? I'd like yams with the oxtail Her: *still not looking at me* we don't have yams. Only cabbage. Woman making the plates: *walks over to speak wi the me and looks at me* we have Mac and cheese. I can put that on but it's an extra charge I declined the Mac and cheese, accepted all the explanations, and pay for my food. I'm quoted a 15 minute wait, which felt accurate to the amount of time I waited. We got the food home and it was literally just okay. Everything lacked seasoning. The oxtails were almost tasteless without seasoning and the only flavor on the red snapper was tomato-based sauce it was covered in. I wouldn't consider it brown stewed at all. My toddlers happily ate the plantains and the saucy veggies from my fish. The rice and peas were fine. We won't be back.

If you're visiting Atlanta or the surrounding area, don't forget to stop by the Jamaican Taste restaurant. The food is soooo good and fresh. Never disappoints and always excellent service. The ambiance is relaxed, great music and a vibe you'll never forget. The restaurant is really clean and spotless and never has those annoying gnat flies I see at other Jamaican spots. My favorite is curry shrimp and goat with rice and peas and cabbage. Love the coco bread and all the Pattie's they sale (beef, chicken and spinach). Even if it's your first time trying Jamaican food, they're really sweet as I bought my friend with me that wasn't too familiar and they treated her like family. Fast service as well!

The food was good (hot) and the customer service was good as well. The new look is appealing.

They are my favorite Caribbean food in Stockbridge. They load my plate up and the Pate always…read morefresh. Great customer service as well. 100/10 definitely recommend!

Finally remembered this as a breakfast option and stopped in! Honestly, I thought the place was as…read moreclosed from the look of it but took my chances since I was within the posted hours. So tip: don't turn back just because it looks dark from the outside. On the other side of the door, I found a very friendly person (I'm assuming the owner) who talked me through traditional Jamaican breakfast options and insisted I try the food before buying it. I was pretty sure I wanted to try ackee and saltfish so that's where we focused. It was delicious and he gave me both dumplings (plain bread) and festival (slightly sweet bread) on the side since I didn't know which I'd like. My fave is the festival. Since I don't like super sweet things, I loved it. I had my husband (who loves sweets) taste it and he said it was like funnel cake without the powdered sugar If you're a newbie like me: I learned that you're supposed to eat the ackee and saltfish like your meat and then add a starch (dumpling, festival, boiled yam, etc.). All in all, I enjoyed it, but I wasn't full enough after it. To be fair tho, I didnt finish the starches. probably to be expected, the bit I did eat (which was about 80% of a dumpling and a festival) made me tired/sluggish. That said I would absolutely go back....just no heavy starches at the top of my day!
