    Jerk Chicken was old
    Sanilie F.

    HUGE REGRET coming here. As a Jamaican, please know that this is NOT authentic Jamaican food. Our food is not like this. I ordered takeout and EVERYTHING I was given was OLD FOOD. The chicken, the rice, the macaroni, it could all make you sick. The chicken tasted old, the rice was definitely cooked days ago and the macaroni tasted like reheated leftovers from who knows how long. The rice had a bunch of clumped up rice together. Kinda like what happens when you reheat food in the microwave for too long. It tasted so odd. This is how the chicken looked when I pulled it a part. There was literally nothing to eat from it because it was all burned and had hard pieces, the same texture as beef jerky. The macaroni was obviously old. None of the food tasted fresh and all had a weird smell. I don't understand why or how anyone would sell this to another person.

    Jerk Chicken with Sweet Plantain, Rice and Peas & Cabbage.

    This was my first time coming and I got the Jerk Chicken with Sweet Plantain, Rice and Peas & Cabbage. The jerk chicken was super tender it was really good. They use weird cuts of chicken but it was still flavorful. The rice was definitely not my favorite it tasted kind of stale or maybe pre-made? Almost like it has been refrigerated in the past, not fresh. The sweet plantain was really good definitely would get that again. I am not usually a fan of cabbage so I did not try that much but it was slightly undercooked. I also had a beef patty which was super good would definitely get that again too. Customer service was wonderful and they were really nice when I ordered. The restaurant was also clean. Overall I would visit this place again but I would only get the chicken, plantain, & beef patties again. Might try something new next time!

    Dont eat the pudding, the service was pretty good but the food was not. The seating was decent and a place was kinda small and dark.

    The portion sizes was questionable but they more than made up for it with the flavor of the food. I ordered the curry goat and curry chicken. Both were delicious, just wish the portion sizes would be bigger

    Kingston 30! A small Jamaican restaurant in Lawerenceville area right across from sugarloaf mall. Ample parking and decent-sized indoor seating area. The food here is super tasty! I ordered the veggie plate, a side of Mac n cheese, a side of jerk Mac n cheese and a veggie patty. The portion size of the large veggie plate was plenty for two people....or just one hungry person lol! They have Great service, friendly staff and the food is well priced....How can you argue with that!? I'll definitely be back to try more items.

    Call for pricing! The 2 Patties and 24 oz. Fountain Drink Meal costs more than what's listed here.

    Woooo! That place is SMOKY!!! It was cold outside and my glasses immediately fogged up when I walked in! It's a compact space, so the grill is basically in the seating area. The food is probably bangin tho. I grabbed a couple of beef patties. They were pretty good.

    This is not a Jamaican food spot at all. They didn't cook this in no Jamaican way. If you are a Jamaican do not eat here.

    Got the brown stewed chicken, I loved it! Got it to go, I ate off of it for 2 days, they gave me so…read moremuch. I will definitely be back

    Ovations Caribbean Grill has got a solid line up of menu items…read more We had the: - Jerk Chicken (with rice and peas [stew chicken cravy], cabage, and plantains) - Curry Chicken - Jerk Pork - Jerk Ribs - Oxtail Mac n cheese - Veggie Patty From top to bottom: The Jerk Chicken is tender. Make sure you get extra Jerk Sauce though! The seasoning is decent and there's a low level of spice to it. I recommend mixing it in with a bit of rice for a bite (maybe a bit of juice from the jerk ribs as well). The rice and peas are fine, but the stew chicken gravy is the star of the show. I'd get extra stew gravy on top next time I come. The cabbage is nothing to write home about, but its good fiber and doesn't clash with the other flavors of the plate. The plantain was fine as well, nice and sweet and best eaten when you first get your plate. The curry chicken is tasty! (Tender aswell) It almost falls apart in your mouth and has a decent moisture to it from the curry. Its good by itself, with the rice, or eaten with some coco bread. The jerk pork is fatty and has a good jerk seasoning flavor (not spicy at all). Its probably the most tender meat they have and its good even after being reheated a short time. The jerk ribs were my favorite! The ribs come off the bone easy and the sauce that comes on them is the best jerk sauce in the restaurant. I definitely recommend trying them if you like jerk or pork. (For a fuller, spicy note of flavor, get the hot jerk sauce to dip or pour on the ribs.) The Oxtail Mac N Cheese is okay, but its nothing too special. There's less cheese in the equation than a typical American Mac N Cheese, but the Oxtail is pretty good. Fatty, soft to chew, and almost buttery, I appreciate the influence, but I'd prefer a cheesier and saltier version of this dish. The Veggie Patty was great! I think the patties are homemade as I've never had such a good vegetable patty. I'd come back for the patties alone! The coco bread we got sat for a bit so it wasn't as soft, but I suspect thay was my fault. TLDR; I definitely recommend this restaurant! Its a 4 to 4.5/5 considering what Jamaican food in Georgia typically tastes like. We had leftovers that were good the next day! Get a jerk pork, a patty, some jerk Chicken, and make sure you get extra jerk sauce and extra gravy for your rice.

I went (alone) at 4:00pm to grab a quick bite before a bread making class 2 doors down. Only one booth was occupied, so great timing! The young lady that sat me also was my server and she was so sweet, and knew the menu well. She also pointed out that although I had just missed the lunch deals (till 4:00 which is great) that Tiki Happy Hour was until 6:00 pm with certain cocktails at $9 instead of $13 along with several reduced small plates like $3 baja shrimp or fish tacos normally $5. Empanadas were included. I've posted pics of all the menus and the Tiki happy hour. I had my heart set on the garlic shrimp which is a regular appetizer served with garlic toast bc it was my favorite at one time. Of course, it still is scrumptious although the shrimp were ever so slightly over cooked. I also had the Colado de Pineapple and boy was it DELICIOUS so was the Havana mule that I had next . I had a nice buzz for the bread class after both of them. The place is still spotless and the ladies room was sparkling clean. I can guarantee I will not wait so long before my next visit!

The girl behind the bar had ZERO personality & had nothing to offer except a slapping menu in front of me. I asked what the best way to reserve a table was & she POINTED at the front stand & told me to, "talk to him". I went to "him" & he said they get busy (this is a Friday night) around 7:30 pm. This was maybe 6:45 pm so I asked for a table right away- we were seated in a cool table/booth in front of where the band would play. Literally sat there for 10 minutes & not 1 person acknowledged us. NOT 1!!! Servers clearing tables & made EYE CONTACT with me... still NOTHING. RUDE & ARROGANT servers!! My husband said we were leaving & started to get up. A server came towards us asking if we were ready... NOPE, leaving!!! Absolutely rude as heck & we were truly looking forward to our experience. Nice space, but RUDE SERVICE. Not 1 server smiled & the only fun witnessed was a server dancing in the door where the kitchen was. Otherwise literally lifeless. Sad, actually. Oh well!!!

    Service was fine and timely. This was my first visit, tried ordering jerk chicken but they were out…read moreso I ordered jerk ribs instead. My meal totaled about $25 which I thought was fair for a large dinner and a side of Mac and cheese. The portions were hearty which was a plus! The ribs were really good, mildly spicy with a smoked flavor! Came with four full bones. Sauce on the side was good as well, I'd definitely order again. 8.5/10 for ribs I was NOT a fan of the rice and peas, they were different than what I'm used to and seriously lacked flavor, not authentic at all. 5/10 because the texture was at least good. Cabbage was fine, nothing to write home about. It wasn't mushy or anything but slightly overcooked and also lacked flavor. 5/10 The Mac and cheese tasted better than it looked in my opinion lol I was expecting a solid, possibly baked mac and cheese but theirs is extremely soupy and heavily seasoned (garlic taste is strong). I received a great sized for $6.25 so no complaint there. I'd rate the Mac 7/10. I'd order again but I'd probably swap the rice for Mac instead which I believe is only a $2.50 Upcharge I will return to try the jerk chicken! Overall, I liked the food I just didn't LOVE it. I almost loved the ribs but I'd still return.
