I don't think anyone should go to this place to buy this Jamaican food very dry. Very rough tasting over seasoned just very very disgusting. The cabbage was very tough. The beans were very bland and hard. It was just the worst experience I had in my life. I've never had Jamaican food this bad ever. I give it a one star rating offer.

On the Sunday afternoon I visited they were offering ox tail and served many soul food favorites. They had so many good options I honestly wanted to try it all. I settled on the baked chicken lunch. BBQ chicken was a daily special and they allowed me to get half baked and half BBQ. The chicken was moist and the seasoning was tasty. I really like that the daily specials have two sizes, lunch and dinner, to fit your appetite. For sides I chose the fried okra. These crisp bites had just the right amount of seasoning so they were not all texture. Okra was the star of my plate. I also got the mac n' cheese. It was a tough decision because I also wanted to try the cabbage, green beans or northern beans sides. I would go back for the okra alone. My meal came with a slice of home made cornbread. They had two of my favorite desserts. Banana pudding and peach cobbler so I tried both. The banana pudding with the Nilla wafers and pieces of banana was perfect without any fake banana flavor. The peach cobbler was the best I have had in a long time. My cobbler was not too sweet and just full of peaches. There was no skimping on the fruit and the ratio of peaches to cake was 3 to 2. Cotton's Kitchen decor reminds me of a diner but the clean white, black and red dining room is anything but old. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You order at a counter and they bring your food to the table. The staff was really attentive and checked back frequently to see if I needed anything. They offer daily specials, sides and featured items. I noticed quite a few customers ordering family sized meals to go. They had a lot of regular customers they had a relationship with and overall the vibe was vibing. There is a small parking lot and on street parking as well. The restaurant is about 2 blocks from Leesburg's Venetian Park which might be a good way to walk off the calories. I went to a show at Melon Patch Players less than a half mile away. I can't wait to try the smothered pork chops or just a plate full of sides.

You absolutely have to try their signature curry chicken or jerk chicken. The curry offers a rich, aromatic flavor, while the jerk delivers a zesty kick, perfectly complemented by their tender cabbage and sweet plantains. They even have a fiery sauce for those who crave extra heat! The restaurant itself is always spotless, with a welcoming atmosphere in a convenient location. I've yet to find a dish on their menu that isn't fantastic. If you're in the Tavares area and looking for an authentic culinary experience, Jam Grill is a gem you shouldn't miss.

Highly recommend for a delicious meal, whether you stay or take it to go!
