    O' Taste & See Update: Heavy Plates Still Delivering…read more I previously called this the "Home of the Heavy Plates," and after another visit, that title still fits. This time we came back because O' Taste & See now has a dining area and we wanted to eat inside. One surprise was that they were open today because they are usually closed on Saturdays. This happened to be the Saturday before Memorial Day weekend. Walking in, it was immediately obvious they were busy. There was a steady flow of carryout and DoorDash orders moving through, and several people were waiting. One suggestion that would help future customers is clearer communication on where the ordering line begins. Customers waiting for food and customers ordering blended together a little. A simple standing sign would probably help. Despite the crowd, from placing our order until checkout took about 17 minutes, which was efficient considering the traffic they were handling. I ordered the ribs with potato salad and baked beans. The ribs were smoked well with good tenderness and a sauce that had the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the meat. The potato salad needed a little salt and pepper for my taste, but after that it landed much better. The homemade baked beans had good flavor. My wife ordered the oxtails with collard greens and mac and cheese. The oxtails were tender and had a unique seasoning profile that she described as having an almost Indian-like flavor profile. The mac and cheese was creamy and good, and the greens paired well with the cornbread. My wife even mixed the greens and cornbread together. The Country Punch was good and refreshing with the meal. My wife originally wanted the red velvet cake without nuts, but they were sold out. I stepped in and handled dessert responsibilities myself . One observation my wife made was interesting. The dining area gives off more of a fine dining vibe than expected for a soul food spot. The space feels more elevated and polished. However, we were still served in to-go containers and our punch came out in a half-gallon style container. The atmosphere and presentation felt a little disconnected. Not necessarily bad, just somewhat inconsistent. The food says one thing and the dining presentation says another. One thing worth mentioning is value. Two meat-and-three plates, two drinks, and one dessert came to $73.79. That definitely puts O' Taste & See toward the higher end of soul food pricing. However, the portions are heavy, the meats are quality, and the homemade sides help justify much of that price. Not necessarily an everyday stop for many families, but the food quality delivered. Food was on point.

    OMG!!! This food was cooked with love. I went to pick up my dad a meal for Father's Day. I waited…read moreabout an hour but it was nice and cool inside. The place had a sitting area the hostess and the staff was nice. The food was so good and you have an enough for at least two days. Well worth the trip to Crestwood.

    Not much Jamaican food in Birmingham so it was cool to try this place. It gets pretty warm inside,…read morenot sure if they have working A/C so I recommend getting to go. I saw from previous reviews they had daily specials but there weren't any mention inside so I just got the jerk chicken with cabbage and rice & red beans. I really liked the sides, good flavor and hot. The jerk chicken was good but the sauce didn't have much flavor. It was still a good meal and fun to try. They have a big refrigerator cooler of can and bottle drinks.

    The building the restaurant is in is very run down and feels like.. well something from Jamaica. It…read morelooks like it used to be a larger restaurant since there was a large unused kitchen and counter space on the lower level. I like hole in the wall places but this one feels sketchy and it's too warm inside. The food was just ok. It was like cafeteria style Jamaican food. Tasted very homemade and nothing to really write home about. It was hard to order behind the glass because I couldn't hear the server. The jerk chicken was ok and some parts were over cooked especially on the thigh. There were a couple shards of bone which could've posed a safety risk. My favorite was the beef patty but it was kinda dry, had good flavor though. Owner and staff were above and beyond kind.
