Pretty good, a bit stingy on the sides, and the jerk chicken, but lots of oxtail provided

First island spot since arrived in the city, overall good food. Couldn't differentiate between curry and jerk but the food was actually good. I would definitely eat here again read more

Everything was great. Had a large take out order and everything was on point. Personally had the jerk chicken with rice& beans and yams& plantains as my sides. I like my plantains fried hard(basically burnt) & the cook was able to fulfill my wish. Decently priced, overall worth it. read more

Ordered from Uber eats tonight and this place did not disappoint! The food was amazing! Will definitely be ordering more often from this place read more

I am youngster so I guess she thought I was stupid. The older (oldest) lady who was the only one in the shop & was moving slow. When it was my turn to pay for the Five dollar special, I gave her a twenty dollar bill. She gave me 4 dollars and some change on purpose. So I went to the table and kept counting my change over thinking that its no way she messed up this bad unitentional because she was looking at me nervously. When my mother walked back in (I guess she read my face), without me even saying anything. At that moment the lady asked ME if she gave me wrong change and brought the Ten dollar bill from the back. I guess since I am a teenager, she thought she would get over on me. I would just stick the change in my pocket and keep it moving. They have a nice lunch special, just count your change! Don't let the nice smile fool yah read more

I left the Hampton Veterans Hospital and went in search for lunch on that side of the tunnel before heading back to Virginia Beach. Huge mistake...there was only one customer in there at 1:00 p.m. on a weekday. I asked about the lunch specials and the employee said there was either jerk chicken, chicken curry or brown stew chicken. I ordered the curry chicken which was pink all the way through to the bone where there was a little blood. The part that looked done was sooo bland that I couldn't imagine wanting anymore so I tasted the cabbage which was even more bland. Finally the Mac & Cheese has no sign of any cheese and also no sign of any flavor. All 3 items were inedible. read more

Not the best the oxtail was salty and tasteless , I'm Jamaican and know what good oxtail is and this isn't it ! The customer service was great the food just isn't good . read more

Great food, price and music. The staff in this establishment are very nice. The food can be mild to very spicy. All you have to do is ask for what you want. They also do red carpet birthday parties. FYI happy hour is from 3:30. - 8:30p.m. read more

Staff is friendly. Food is bland. Not giving Jamaican but giving very much idk what seasoning is.

Boss ordered meals for all from Jerk Sauce and low n behold everyone that ate was sick all night. I had the chicken curry, which was a nice tasting curry sauce. But literally 30 minutes after the first bite - some unpleasantries disrupted our day. Please review your method of preparation or storing because there is no excuse for this. Best of luck. I understand times are tough right now, but I personally won't be revisiting your establishment. read more

The small plate was a good sized portion, and the food was okay. I had the curry chicken with Mac and cheese and rice and peas. Ready fast. When you walk in there's good vibe music playing and the employees make sure you've been helped. However, the food was actually pretty mediocre. read more

I brought some stew chicken and peas and rice from this restaurant everything was nasty .

After an impromptu visit to investigate Jerk Sauce and pick up a menu Kay, the owner offered my friend and I samples of some of her delicious chicken and ox tail dishes. Fresh, tender and delicious they all were. My favorites are the barbecue chicken and the chicken curry! Thank you Kay for being some warm and welcoming. We are looking forward to our Jerk Sauce dinner tonight! read more

It was cool. It's just hard to get authentic Caribbean food with spice/heat. It seems one must either go to NYC, Miami or the actual island. But it good for what it was, it almost satisfied a craving. read more

This place has the best Jerk Chicken in the city. Great Mac and Cheese and also many refreshing drinks.

I have been here a couple of times.I usually get the lg oxtail, the flavor is good but they could give you more oxtail and less rice. Today I got the lg jerk chicken with mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. The mac and cheese wasn't good but everything else was. You really don't get good Jamaican food unless you are in DC or NY. read more

Stopped in to check out the jerk chicken and she let us sample all of the great food. Ordered the chicken and got a huge plate for the price. Will definitely return. read more

Well I came after 10 at night so they ran out of a lot of food however I did get a plate of oxtails and sweet potatoes they were really good tender and also I got a piece of red velvet cake very tender the staff was very friendly and very helpful I will be going back again but I think I'll go earlier read more

This restaurant is amazing. The fragrant aroma hits you as soon as you open the door. The food was delicious and satisfying. It reminded me of my grandmother and grandfather' cooking. I will be going back for more real soon. I will definitely recommend to both family and friends! read more

The place was a lot bigger and more comfortable than their old location. The staff was very friendly. There were only two issues that I had. I initially wanted curry goat, but they said it wasn't ready yet. I didn't understand why they didn't have it ready ofer an hour after it opened. I ordered the jerk chicken inside. The cabbage was good and the rice and peas were ok, but the jerk sauce was VERY salty. Overall, I think I would try them again in the future. read more

This is a Favorite place to eat it. The people are welcoming and the atmosphere is great. they have a wide selection for you to choose from on their menu. my favorite is the oxtail with their rice and peas (red kidney beans), I usually have the Jerk sauce gravy because i like the spice and the flavor of it. Another one of my favs is the Jerk chicken Alfredo OMG it is finger licking good. Like their slogan state definitely irie food for irie people. thank you Jerk sauce for feeding my hunger. you have a customer for Life read more

So I have been driving by this place for a while and it was getting late one evening and I was literally tiered of everyplace I usually go so I said I will try this spot. Being that both myself and my husband are both West Indian we said ok we will try it. We pull up and there are two ladies sitting out front with "Short D*&^ Man" blaring from some speakers but inside the place looks dead. Rolled down the window and ask are they open. "yeah" they say so we park and go in. At first I was impressed as I saw a full bar (which I was not expecting). I say to my husband "okay they go the bar thing going on" just as a small male child races past us saying hello. I spoke back to the kid and then he starts asking have you ate here before? the kid couldn't be any older that 6, so I say no we haven't. A lady that was sitting outside when we pulled up comes in and another older lady comes from the back. We said we haven't been here before so give us a minute. While we scan the menu the lady who had just come in goes behind the counter and over the register to look at something. She then walks away. My husband inquires about the soup that they have (Red Pea Soup) and the lady says they have but they only have one size. We ask to se the size and I lie to you not she pulls out a cup that is about the size of a Giant Big Gulp from 7-11. My husband says okay I will do the soup. I (knew better) but decided that I would do the oxtail with white rice and mac & cheese. I then said I would like extra gravy as well. I then say I really like butter beans if you can put some extra in there. the chick tells me we no have that... ::blink blink......huh:: At this point I should have cancelled my order but in an effort to try new things I said okay, no worries. While all this is going on that little boy that I was telling you about earlier has decided that he wants a beef patty so he walks over to the container, opens it up and goes in for a patty. Did this child wash his hands, NOPE. Was this child handling RTE food with no gloves on YES. Did a piece of me die inside...yes. The kids mom (who works there) is now yelling at him that she already gave him a patty it was on the table go sit down. She then tells my husband he cant have soup because they have nothing to put it in, mind you the older woman just brought out a huge cup. She explains that there are no lids and they cant sell it without a lid. Well duh, okay do you have another size maybe. They riffle around and she finds some smaller Styrofoam cups and my husband says that is fine. At the last minute I decide, I want to try the potato salad and my husband wants a beef patty an coco bread. The older woman goes in the back (we assumed to get the coco bread and she comes back like 3 minutes later and hands my husband a bag with bread in it. He looks and is like umm "but where is the patty?" These folks strait up just left the patty out. We pay and get to the car. I start looking at the food (which should have been another indicator this was gonna be bad, the fact that they didn't show me my food before the closed the box and bagged it up. I think this it the FIRST West Indian spot that this has EVER happened to me at and I've been to yard places, trini places, Guyanese places in multiple place in the US and Overseas and they all have shown me my food before bagging it up) I first open the potato salad because it was in a bag full of hot food and just common sense (And SERVSAFE) teaches us you don't mix cold foods (with mayo) with hot food. When I opened the container I noticed the potato salad was sitting in a puddle of fluid. Needless to say, that didn't get eaten. next I looked at the mac and cheese. It at least looked safe (sort of) for human consumption unlike the Potato Salad. I then opened the oxtail and a few things hit me right away. I have never in my whole life seen oxtail gravy that was light brown (except for when in southern style oxtail stew..that they make in the south...not the West Indies) I told my husband, ohh I am not gonna eat this. He asked why not, I said well besides the fact that there appear to be peppers in it, it has light skinned gravy and I am not sure what that is. I also noted that I was confused and asked him if I ordered pepper steak because besides scotch bonnet peppers (which I don't see) I have never had so many peppers in oxtail. He said well try it, it might not be bad.....All I am going to say is I tasted a small piece of meat and it had enough salt in it for like eight meals. It was just plain salty. No other flavor....just salt with a side of salt and an extra scoop of salt. I did not taste all spice, pimento, onion, garlic, nothing. JUST SALT. At that point it was established in the car that I had just spent $27 dollars to make myself drive to another sandwich place and get a sandwich and soup (which was awesome). Speaking of soup. When we finally got home my husband opened his soup and was like yeah we are never going back there. read more

I order the beef large beef stew and green beans and macaroni and cheese. ( The older grandma lady) Told me that there was a wait on the stew I said okay. I get my plate and go home there is only one piece of meat on there with a whole bunch of potatoes and veggies I was pissed!!!! What made it worst was my side where cold, unseasoned and just nasty!!! Never again!!! read more

I have honestly ALWAYS love this place. My heart broke when the other location closed down. But I am so happy she chose to reopen. The owner is very welcoming. Be sure to try the Oxtails, Punches (drinks), cakes, and everything else. read more

If I could put zero stars that would be better, the lady messed up our order, the curry was dry as hell, the rice wasn't cooked, the greens were salty af, and they kept saying they were out of everything. I asked for a beverage with my food and the lady looked at me and kept proceeding with whatever she was doing. DO NOT EVER COME HERE!!!! I'm pissed writing this review I spent $50 on my meals read more

They have roaches There are roaches crawling right next to the food in the front. The employees are always in the back and only come to the front when there's a customer so you know they're not doing anything to prevent the bugs from getting into the food, let alone the roaches just being there period Nasty , someone needs to inspect read more

Homemade Juices are amazing! Mac and Cheese is pretty good and so is cabbage. I got the jerk shrimp which was good also but the shrimp were super over cooked. I think that everything should just automatically come with rice which it does not. Prices are not bad I have seen worst. But I will definitely be going back again and tasting more things. read more

Drove out here from portsmouth and stopped in to grab some lunch. The customer service was wonderful and food is great! I am fairly new to Jamaican food & am vegetarian. I was told about all my choices and was definitely happy with the outcome! even got a little taste test at the end!!! My fiancé got the jerk chicken and Mac n cheese we will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Thank you!! read more

I really was excited to try this place. I ordered it but as I was placing my order, there was a huge bug crawling through the menu on the wall. I ordered anyway thinking it may have been just a moth or something. But then..... after she took my order she walked away and as I was standing there waiting, there were cockroaches crawling on the counter. The food is stored in the counters so I had to politely ask for my money back. I didn't want to cause a scene. The order was $20.68. I paid by card but she only gave me $20 cash back. I didn't want to argue or wait in there any longer for the other rest... even though she didn't even offer or reach for the change. I'll just assume it's due to the National coin shortage. But I won't be returning. And I doubt I'd ever visit any other food stores or the food lion in that shopping center. read more

I love West Indian food I've tasted food from NY,Atl,Florida and other areas like Newport News and jerk sauce had to be the worst the rice was mushy and no real taste of curry n spices don't waste your money there unless you just don't know what real food supposed to taste like I couldn't eat the food had to throw it away first and last time there horrible read more

Jerk Sauce - curry chicken from the restaurant jerk sauce.The rice was mushy did not taste good at all first and last time there so disappointed - Caribbean Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

This place is a hidden gem. I heard about it from some coworkers of mine and decided to give them a try. The curry and jerk chicken are flavorful and I love the Mac and cheese! It's a great spot to get a cheap lunch...for $5 it's very satisfying. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I wish the portions were larger, still a great place. read more

Ewwww!!! The food is gross. I've never had Jamaican food that tasted so bland. I also question the cleanliness of the place. The cashier could barely smile or answer any questions. We ordered three different dishes and all three were horrible. I one this place a fat ZERO! read more

Incredible service, great food, great environment. Food isn't expensive and you get a lot for what you paid for.0 If I could leave a six star review I would. read more

Best Jamaican food in Hampton for sure! Service was great and the prices were decent and reasonable. Will definitely be a reoccurring customer. read more

Perhaps I should have asked what the veggie plate would consist of. I was disappointed that I received a plate full of iceberg lettuce, craisins, sliced red peppers, mango bits and a few carrot shavings. The woman who brought it out was very nice and clearly proud of her creation so I didn't have the heart to tell her that I was thinking of a cooked veggie plate and not a salad. I will give them one more try and be specific next time that I want cooked vegetables. For now I will make the most of my $7.00 worth of lettuce. read more

The fact that I'm forced to give them 1 Star is annoying , this by far was the worst Jamaican food Iv ever had !!! There is no in between it's just horrible. read more

Food was not good. I had the curry goat. I asked for rice and peas and then was told they ran out so I settled for yellow rice. The cabbage was not seasoned at all. I will not be returning read more

Ok so I dont understand the negative reviews at all. This place is wonderful and Kay is delightful. Oxtail and chicken super tender and tasty. There was a fun group enjoying the bar and the ambience is fun and funky. We felt so welcomed and had a great experience. Lots to choose from onthe menu! We will be back and looking forward to them being onUber Eats! read more
