I come here after work and get the large oxtail with rice, macaroni or cabbage, and two patties. They are out of jerk chicken patty whenever I drop by at 5 pm. The oxtail does cost more as well so expect to spend at least 30+ I tried the jerk chicken a while back as well. Its spicy how it should be. The staff is also very friendly and they offer traditional beverages. read more

Just happen to be in the area, and being new to Savannah, I depend a lot on Yelp to find places to eat. This was highly rated and close to me so I decided to stop by and boy am I glad I did! This is first rate Jamaican food done really well. I had oxtails a couple of patties, jerk chicken, and carrot cake and everything was on point! I especially loved the oxtail gravy which they poured plenty over my rice and peas and I thought the jerk seasoning was authentic. This is a small spot in a strip mall with a couple of tables so this is mostly a takeout operation. But the young lady that waited on me was very helpful, explaining a lot of of the menu, what was fresh and what the days deals were. Definitely plan on making this one of my go to spots. read more

Service not so good maybe bad day for young lady but oxtails and everything else A1 expensive but good!!!!

I'm in town for business about twice a year. I found this place a few years back and I haven't found anything as good as them in the area since. I am from Brooklyn NY but live in California where there are hardly any Jamaican spots in my area. So when I'm in town I make sure to support this place. There are always people there, all kinds and the service is great! It's a nice place to sit down and eat as there are plenty of tables, unlike most places. Now to the food. The Oxtails are a 10/10 but expect to pay $30 Ackee and salt fish 10/10 All flavors of patty 10/10 Sorrel 20/10 Pineapple ginger 20/10 If you want any type of seafood, Bammy or festival you must order in advance. These are made to order. IYKYK I will try to order everything on the menu next visit but it's so hard when you see the oxtails and jerk chicken. I may try the jerk ribs. read more

Great service and really good food! I had the ackee and salt fish with plantains and Johnny cake. My friend had jerk pork. I also tried the curry goat. Everything was really good and the staff was super friendly. The spicy items had a good amount of spice for flavor but not so much that they were difficult to eat. I would totally recommend this to anyone who likes Jamaican food. read more

This is 1 of my favorite Jamaican restaurant in savannah/ Pooler area! The food, the customer service, cleanliness 10/10. I've ordered from this restaurant so many times, they know me by name lol. Very authentic and great portions. Ms. Sandra and her family will take care of you! read more

I don't usually care for Jamaican food, as it's usually too spicy for me. But my nail stylist was offering plates for customer service appreciation, so I decided to try it out. The chicken was so tender and flavorful throughout. The first few bites were spicy, but it was bearable. By far the best part was the mac & cheese (not shown). I have had lots of mac & cheese, but this might be the best I have tried in Savannah. I will definitely be checking them out soon! read more

If you're craving authentic Jamaican flavors, Mo'Bay Island Cuisine is the spot! I tried the jerk chicken with steamed cabbage and spicy rice, and the flavors did not disappoint. The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of heat and smokiness, while the steamed cabbage was tender and flavorful--a perfect complement. The spicy rice lived up to its name--a bit too spicy for my taste, but if you love heat, you'll love it! To cool things down, I had a pineapple ginger drink that was both refreshing and delicious. I also couldn't resist a coconut drop dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Great food, great flavors, and a true taste of the islands. I'll definitely be back! read more

My parents have been here several times whenever they come to visit the Savannah area and this was our first stop after we checked into our hotel. When pulling in, the restaurant is located in a shopping mall next to a Chinese takeout. To be honest, I did not know what to expect from a Jamaican spot in Pooler, GA especially since I lived in South Florida and was surrounded by the flavors of the Caribbean. From first glance, it's clean and has ample seating. We ordered oxtails for my dad, jerk chicken for my mom, and brown stew chicken for myself. Since we were dining in, we did wait for some time for our food. However, we watched as the kitchen staff replaced old rice with new trays, and other menu items. In the meantime, we also ordered jerk chicken patties, coco bread, and a beef patty. Once our food was delivered to our table, my mom went in immediately hence the picture of the eaten chicken lol. When opening up my box, whew the portions are huge - which is how I like my Jamaican spots to be! My brown stew chicken was very moist, flavorful, and freshly cooked. It had that hint of spice, and was covered in that rich stew. I requested for extra gravy on the rice - which was perfectly cooked, subtle flavor of that coconut milk. The cabbage was the highlight for me and went first out of my box. It was steamed very well, swimming in flavor, and chewy. My parents loved their food as well. As far as the patties, the jerk chicken patty was filled with their jerk chicken that was served and had great spice and the chicken was moist. The coco bread was fluffy and had the texture of warm soft potato roll. You have to split the coco bread and put your patty in it to give the balance of the sweet bread with the savory patty. Overall, if you're craving Jamaican food with a down home feel - definitely stop into Mo' Bay, I know I'll be back whenever I'm in Savannah. read more

Like landing at John Wayne, SFO or LAX and going straight to In N Out, when landing here at Savannah/Hilton Head airport - you must proceed directly from the rental car parking lot and go straight to Mo'Bay!! The oxtail meal was so, so good, that I got another oxtail meal just for the hotel. The young lady was very inviting and explained what was popular on the menu. The oxtail was very soft and that gravy should come in a jar. I loved the chicken and beef Patties as well. The plantains were sweet and soft and the cabbage had a nice snap. All my years, I've been a big fan of Filipino oxtail (cooked with peanut butter sauce) but I think Jamaican oxtail has moved up to first place. What I really need to do is learn the recipe on YouTube because I do have a slow cooker. Also with the posters and Reggae music and Jamaican drinks - it all just adds to the ambiance and decor. read more

Very, very tasty. I was on my way to Savannah last Friday and saw the great reviews for this place and knew I had to get some on my way into town. I called to place an order for carry-out when I was about 20 minutes away and after a few minutes on hold, I was able to get my order placed. It was ready when I arrived. This place is located in a smaller strip mall. There's some seating inside, though not a ton. Bright yellows and greens and Jamaican memorabilia make this place very inviting. There are drink coolers with beverages and you order and pay at the register on the counter. To my surprise, much of the food was in a hot bar on display at the front counter. No big deal or anything - just thought it was interesting. I liked getting a brief glimpse of some of the other yumminess. :) Service was friendly and warm and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Would have been less than five had my card actually agreed with the card machine, but luckily I had cash, lol. I got a medium plate with curry chicken, rice and peas, and macaroni and cheese. It was an ample portion for the money -- two meals for me, easily. Yay for leftovers! The chicken itself was very succulent and fell off the bone. Unlike curry chicken I've had before, this one had a couple of cubes of potato and carrot mixed in, rather than just chicken and curry. I really enjoyed the extra veggies. The rice was fluffy and soft. Little low on the pea ratio but overall yummy, and I'd say mild-moderately spicy. Very much enjoyed it. The macaroni and cheese was good too, though personally, I like mine more with milder cheese. Just a preference thing rather than any actual complaint. I do wish I could've had a slice or two of plantain to round out the experience but I didn't want to add on a third side. Overall, I was very happy with what I got. Definitely give this place a go -- well worth a stop if it's along your route. read more

Delicious food and great service. Jerk chicken was awesome and rice and beans were also great.

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our meal today. The seasoning on everything was spot on. The jerk and curry dishes were spicy but not so overwhelmed with heat that you could not appreciate the amazing depth of flavors. Whenever we visit this area again we will definitely be back. read more

Trying to find a place since our plans got canceled because someone had to crash on the only road to Tybee Island, we landed on here at Mo'Bay Island Cuisine. It was an awesome pick that our friend chose to eat at. Finding good Jamaican food is pretty tough, because some places are just alright. Mo'Bay is a hole in the wall, but the food here was awesome. I ordered the oxtail, and it was great with a side of greens and rice. The rice was flavorful and with the sauce from the oxtail it was *chef's kiss*. The amount of oxtail as well was well portioned and it was fall off the bone tender. I also tried the curry patty, and I have to say it was definitely flavored really well as far as the curry but there wasn't much meat or anything else in there. I may have missed it as I went through that patty really quick. Overall, Mo'Bay is definitely a place you should check out if you're in the area and looking for Jamaican. read more

The quality has declined greatly. I've eaten there many times and have always enjoyed the moist flavorful jerk chicken. Last week I ordered and I was given dry jerk chicken . The owner tried to convince me it was cooked fresh with the other chicken but I could tell the difference. Won't eat there again . Someone refer me to a better Jamaican restaurant please! read more

Food was great for a nice lunch with enough leftovers for dinner. Service was nice and pleasant. Great food.

5 stars for taste, service, and overall quality. I loved my jerk chicken and brown sauce chicken so much, that I ate the leftovers at 1:00 am in the elevator after checking into our hotel in North Carolina. AMAZING. read more

Mo'Bay -- what Jamaicans call Montego Bay -- is a casual dining place with very good, very authentic Jamaican food. Being married to a Jamaican woman almost 20 years I think I have a fairly good idea of what qualifies as authentic. I had Jerk Chicken. It was exactly what I was hoping it would be. The spiciness was just right as was the flavor. read more

Well it was my first time at this location and it was easy to find in the little shopping center. I ordered the jerk chicken with rice & peas with Mac and cheese on the side. I did add the jerk sauce to the chicken that was REALLY HOTT (the lady that served me did give me a disclaimer lol) but needless to say despite the level of heat, I ate it cause I was hungry. What I could anyway. The macaroni helped with the heat and it was underwhelming! And I also had a beef patty that was really greasy (the bag was very oil stained) and I only took two bites of it. I would give them a 2/5 read more

Born and raised in Brooklyn, we were definitely excited to discover Mo'Bay. We thought we'd have to go back home to get some Caribbean food and while not quite the same there are definitely some winners here. We've had many things from this restaurant but our favorites are the stewed chicken, stewed beef, curry goat, spicy curry rice, mac n cheese, veggie patties, beef patties, and variety of chicken patties. Not a fan of the oxtails, not enough meat and flavor and too much fat. The jerk chicken was also a miss, too much jerk seasoning and the meat was dry. Also not a fan of the fried chicken, not seasoned enough and bland. If you love fresh ginger definitely get the sorrel, it's some of the best I've had. The prices are good and depending on the time you go they may be very busy but the food is definitely worth the wait. read more

Mo'Bay Island Cuisine - Jerk Chicken, Spicy Curry Rice, Mac n Cheese - Caribbean Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

Love the curry goat and oxtail with white rice and rice and peas, respectively. Great customer service and plenty of parking.

Yeah, Moooooon! Welcome to our little piece of Jamaica in the low country! I was in the mood for some good oxtail and jerk, so my two friends and I went to Mo'Bay Island Cuisine (MIC) searching for some and that's just what we found! - Parking - Center lot. - Vibe - Super casual, no frills. Just plain and simple, but perfect for them. No distractions and full attention on the food. There are a couple of TVs and a couple of pictures on the walls and of course, a classic portrait of Bob Marley. How is it a Jamaican restaurant without one? You order at the counter, pay and sit down, but they will take care of you from the moment you walk in to when you leave. - TLC - The girl who worked behind the counter was sweet and very attentive! We walked in right at opening, and after we ordered, there were a steady flow of hungry patrons in search of some lunch. She still took the time to check up on us in between walk-in customers and making sure we had everything we needed. - Eats / Refreshments - In usual weekly brunch fashion, my friends and I all ordered one plate and ate family style so we could maximize the number of things to try. Is there any other way to eat though? I love people who love to eat, but people who love to share their food are my kind of people. Oxtail, Rice and Beans, Plantains - Oxtail was stewed with carrots and beans. It fell off the bone and all the flavors just combined nicely and the Rice and Beans that I chose to go with it was perfect for it to soak up all the sauce. I also chose plantains to go with it which were sweet and so yum and it also came with a side salad. Jerk Chicken, Curry Rice, Island Slaw - Mmmm, mmm, mmm! I think it was the perfect level of spicy. When you take the first bite, your tastebuds will register all the flavors and then wait for it...POW! The spice hits you at the end. Chicken was well cooked and hopefully, you know that Jerk is already a spicy dish going in, but not so spicy that it would send a first timer running to the marsh. My friend chose the Curry Rice since I chose the Rice and Beans with the Oxtail. The Curry Rice and the Island Slaw were also delicious and perfect for the Jerk to bring down the heat. Chicken Wings - My friend chose BBQ, Jerk BBQ and Plum for the flavors and OH! OH! OH! I LOVED the way the wings were cooked! The wings were very well coated with the sauces, but somehow were still crispy underneath! Very healthy wings, not the puny ones you sometimes get at wing places and not so enormous that you might think they were from some jacked chickens or even a turkey! They were all really delicious, but I think I liked them in this order, BBQ Jerk, Plum and BBQ. Coco Bread - My friend ordered one just out of curiosity and who doesn't love bread? The girl explained it to be similar to a Hawaiian Roll, but Jamaican style. When we got it, I was surprised to see it was a lot bigger and flatter than a Hawaiian roll. I think it was similar in that way in terms of taste, but definitely not for its looks. It was good and another great item to mop up the sauce! - Kiddos - There isn't a specific kids menu, but there are a variety of things that my kids would eat like Beef Patties, Fried Chicken and all the different sides. If my kids had been with me, I would just share something with them. Mo'Bay, Jamaican me crazy with your food! It filled my belly and soothed my soul. Get ready to get your hands dirty, Peeps and dig in and maybe loosen your pants a little. They are as generous with the portions as they are with the TLC that they cook with! read more

My friend recommended this place so I tried it and was underwhelmed. The food was fresh and hot. I ordered the large oxtail plate because she raved about them. They were just ok for me the rice and peas had zero seasoning and the cabbage was good. The spicy beef patty was good and the jerk chicken patty was ok but very little chicken. read more

Pretty good island food at this location, particularly for the area. There only seems to be two or three people working there so the service is a little bit slow. When I walked in, I wasn't even sure anyone was in because they don't regularly have someone in the front of the building. However, it's understandable as this place seems family run/owned. The food I ordered was very good. I made the mistake of not getting rice, and I think it'd be well worth the extra money just to have a little starch to soak up the juiciness of the sauces. I just asked the lady what the most popular meats were. She told me oxtail and jerk chicken so that is what I ordered with plantains. I prefer the sauce on the jerk chicken, but i think it could stand to be a bit spicier. There wasn't much jerk to it, if you will. This is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

We're visiting from out of town and found this place on DoorDash. It had some great reviews so we gave it a shot - boy am I glad we did! The food was excellent. We got two combo plates - one chicken and one chicken and goat. Everything was FANTASTIC! Full of flavor, served hot, just wonderful all around. There was a bit of a wait for the food but let me tell you it was worth every minute! read more

I came here with my mother and father n law and we absolutely enjoyed our meals. I planned to take pictures of our meals but it was so good that no one stopped to even take a breath. As a whole we got curry chicken, oxtails and jerk chicken which all had an underlying spice to it that was perfect! The only downfall was that there are not any refillable drinks options and if you take frequent sips throughout your meal like I do then that can be frustrating. For my sides I got plantains and rice and beans which were absolutely delicious. The employees are very friendly and make you feel welcoming. This is definitely the number one Jamaican spot in Savannah. read more

I was looking for something quick after flying in and heading toward Vidalia. I asked the girl up front what she recommended and she pretty much said everything was good. I went with the jerk chicken wrap and a beef patty. When they brought out the food they also gave me a relish they said went well with the jerk. Everything tasted great. While I was eating, it looked like the couple that owned the place came out of the kitchen to watch some TV and talk to the staff. I struck up a conversation and to my delight they were actually from Montego Bay. I use to go to Jamaica every year when I was a kid so I know the island decently well. I was telling them about the places I went to and where we stayed and they New exactly what I was talking about. Long story short, this is the place to go if you want good authentic Caribbean food. read more
