Usually get the oxtail and rice , now everywhere charges a pretty good amount for this but I will say that the size matched the price ! Pretty great no complaints ! read more

The restaurant is clean, quintessential Carribean and authentic. The food is amazing but your portions of meat depends on who serves, and truthfully, isn't that's what you come for? Even if a large plate is ordered the ratio to rice and peas to protein is disproportionate. The entree section is overloaded with rice and peas or just rice, and a small amount of gravy is added, then the protein with more gravy is spread on top. The server makes several attempts to spoon and fish out the meat, as if it is hard to find in the gravy or it's about to run out. After all of that, you still end up with possibly five whole pieces (if you are lucky), and meat that has fallen off of the thinly shaved bones. The sides section is portioned fairly. Again the quality and taste is amazing but the quantity of meat isn't; though I have seen more fairly served portions given by other servers. I know and understand that restaurants must charge more because of the economy and it isn't their fault. I have no problem paying for anything that I buy but I want to get what pay for. read more

Food -Horrible no FLAVOR I will never visit this restaurant again. The worst Jamaican food I ever had and I've been to MANY ALL OVER THE WORLD. Service-rude and rushy Ambiance-it was clean inside read more

I hadn't been to Mum's in years, but I'm so glad I went today to grab lunch/dinner. I'd been really wanting oxtails and the place closer to me in Wake Forest was closed today. They share a parking lot with Royal India and a senior medical place, but there's plenty of parking. A lot of people say they have trouble finding it, but just look for Royal India's sign and it's right next to it. There was no line when I arrived, but there were several people eating in. One thing I like about Mum's is that you're in and out. They have the food ready, staying hot and you can see what you're getting before you can get it. I ordered the large oxtails w/ rice and cabbage. I also ordered a beef patty. I ate the patty driving home and it was perfect. I got home and couldn't wait to dive in to the oxtails. They were absolutely delicious. Falling off the bone and perfect flavor. The cabbage was cooked perfectly. I couldn't stop eating it it was so good. If you're ever in the area or even close to it, check out Mum's. read more

Re: small ox tails dinner and beef patty order. Delicious oxtails, cabbage and peas and rice dinner. They use short grain rice that can appear to be a little mushy, but, very delicious. The beef patty was very good, as well. read more

I ordered a medium oxtail plate and baked macaroni and cheese. The Mac and cheese was mushy and not good. The oxtails were more like a small plate of oxtails; however, there was plenty of rice. The collard greens did not have much flavor but tasted good when I added hot sauce. The taste of the oxtails and rice was really good. I won't order the Mac and cheese again. I might order the oxtails if they give me more oxtails for the $25 I paid for. read more

Food was just okay. The juice was good. I just randomly picked it. It was clean and shelf's was stocked. They been open for 2 hours prior to me opening and the lady act like she ain't wanna serve no oxtails. I was hoping more of a deeper (more) flavor & color on the oxtails read more

Food was amazing! I went there for oxtails but AJ sold me on the Jerk Chicken! Great choice! I'll be back to try the oxtails! I sat in and dined on my lunch. Sprite went perfect with my meal.

I am upgrading Mum's to a 5 star experience. I gave them a chance again today, and my food was delicious. I was feeling home sick today and wanted some Jamaican soup, beef patties, and black cake. My cravings can be that of a pregnant woman. Raised by Jamaican grandparents from Kingston, I know good food. I first tried the curry goat here last year and was pleased. Today, I had the chicken soup, beef patties and a very moist black cake. Soup was excellent with dumpling and carrots. The Patties were nice and spicy. The black cake was a dream. I may need to order a whole cake. Everything was piping hot upon delivery. Thank you mum's for feeding a home sick belly. read more

This is a small Caribbean spot off capital boulevard that has a grocery shop inside as well. There's only a few tables so it's best to take-out from here. Their oxtails are actually very good. Many places around here have overcooked or small cut pieces of oxtails but Mum's was very good. I was pleasantly surprised. Their rice and peas was delicious as well. I would recommend the oxtails but they could've given more for $22. Their sides were not great though. Their cabbage was not good and their mac looked like it came from a microwaved box. This was disappointing because the sides make the dish great, especially mac. They offered a vegan stew but it was really just beans with some jamaican spinners. We aren't a fan of spinners since they're just flour dumplings with little taste so the vegan stew was kind of a rip-off. They could've tried to make a nice veggie stew with peppers and other vegetables. read more

As you can see from my pic, I ordered a LARGE Jerk Chicken and i did not remove any pieces before taking the pic. I moved the pieces around so you could see what they gave me. When i asked why the portions were so small, i was told " a large is 5 pieces". So regardless of the 'size' of the piece, you only get 5 pieces. I had to beg for sauce on the rice and peas (which was nasty) and she barely put any sauce on them. And they had an attitude about everything. I have had jerk chicken from numerous places including several times in Jamaica. This place was the WORST. And what's sad is that i have ordered from them before and it was very good. Service has declined and I would STRONGLY encourage anyone to skip Mums and head a short distance up capital to Lee's Kitchen. If anyone from management takes the time to read these reviews, DO BETTER! I wish i could give negative stars read more

Service was fantastic. Food was delicious and generous portions. Got it for my mom and she truly enjoyed it

Amazing! Amazing food and service! Everything was hot and flavorful. They are practicing proper COVID19 protocol. Everyone has on masks and proper spacing for social distancing to take place. Now for the food, we ordered: Small Fried Chicken with Cabbage, Rice/beans, and Plantains - about $10. You get two pieces of chicken. Medium Jerk Chicken with Cabbage, Rice/beans, Plantains, and a side of mac and cheese - about $14. The mac and cheese is not a side only our plate - its considered an extra. Medium Curry Chicken with Cabbage, Rice/beans, Plantains, and a side of Okra and Coco bread - about $20. Note, you can either get white rice or rice and beans as a side on your plate either cabbages or plantains - if you get both its additional. With that out the way, everything was fresh and HOT! It's served buffet style, so you are able to see everything before purchasing. We will be back definitely! read more

I stopped in for a beef patty + coco bread. They sliced my coco bread and stuffed my beef patty inside, at my request, which I oddly am unable to get ANYWHERE else. Other restaurants have served them to me separately despite my request so this made me very happy. THE BEST SORREL JUICE is here !!! Next to my dad's this is literally the best Sorrel ginger juice I have tasted in my life. Served fresh and ice cold. read more

The young ladies working are very polite and the place is very clean. I ordered goat roti with extra gravy and was immediately disappointed when I opened it. It was the driest I've ever had. The meat isn't cooked in a gravy as expected. Gravy came in a tiny little cup on the side. read more

I asked for oxtails not oxtail bones ‍. It's not that hard to treat your customers with respect and some decency. Your meals are $21 plus tax i had no idea the economy was so bad that you guys are serving your customers bones read more

Mmmm... the fried chicken. We stood in line for lunch on a Saturday and could tell by the line and repeat customers that this place was a hit. We got two orders of fried chicken and a stew chicken. You pick from small, medium and large and get two sides. We chose rice and beans and cabbage. Mum's is family run and you go down the line picking your food and getting generous servings. For now I saw takeout only due to covid measures. Perhaps delivery too . We just parked and ordered inside. The fried chicken is the best and the rice and beans have a sweet and exotic flavor. We will definitely back. read more

Great ambiance - pictures of Bob Marley and the game was playing- just saying when I visited yesterday!!! The ginger beer was amazing and rounded everything off. I'll be back!! Go to Mum's for a taste of the Caribbean right here Raleigh, NC! Five stars for this date night dinner in the Triangle!!! read more

Customer service: 0 stars: like everyone is saying rude people preparing the food. I'm guessing it was the owner who got sassy with the girl fixing my box to tell her to charge me extra. I informed her you aren't charging me extra when you filled the box up with Curry bones instead of Curry goat. Food: 2 stars: after the girl fixed my box I wasn't feeling it. Will explain why in next part. Cleanliness: 0 stars: I watched this chick wipe the corners of her mouth and then go to serving food. Naaaah I'm good. After my box was fixed I walked out. Maybe that isn't a deal breaker for some of you but if they will do that infront of customers what do you think they do in the kitchen you that you cant see. Price point: 1 star: they actually wanted to charge $20 for a box full of bones, I told them to spoon out the bones and put actual meat. Got major attitude. You know that happens when the goat has been over cooked or wasn't sold out from the previous day and been reheated all to hell. Overall: I'm an out of towner so i won't be back. But even If I did come back, you couldn't pay me to go back there. Tried to support a BB and that's how they treat you. Customer service and food like that I bet you won't servive the next lock down. read more

Let's just say that you don't go here for the ambiance. It's a storefront with steamer table service. That said, the food is great. We had Ackee with dumplings and green banana. It was delicious. We also had ox tail with rice and peas, cabbage and sweet plantain. You could taste the coconut in the rice which is delicious. The oxtails, except for the little extra layer of fat, where flavorful and cooked just right, and the cabbage was tasty too. This place is not convenient to us but we'll make our way back there anytime we're close. read more

Done. I've gone through this before and stayed away for months at a time. Not because of the food (Decent enough) Prices (Fair enough) Location (20 minutes for me) Sanitation (Alas finally upper 90's) Nope, spending money for this is no problem. BUT the Service Attitude that they dish out is unbearable. I will never step foot in this door again. I'd rather drive 40 minutes right by them before I spend another dime there. It's like you're bothering them when you walk in and order food, like this is why you're here right? I won't give another chance it's been way too many times. I even felt bad for the man who ordered after me. No reason to act so rude. Yeah Mon, Mi Done! Golden Crust, Jerk Masters or a diet from my jam down food. read more

this place was so good! we were visiting from houston and stopped here for food. we got the curry shrimp and stew chicken with sides of mac n cheese and plantains. it was DELICIOUS. it's a cute restaurant with a grocery store that sells holistic items as well. the people were friendly and patient, and welcoming as well. definitely would come back again if we lived here. read more

So 5 star goes to the Cornmeal Porridge on Saturdays! Absolutely delicious! I can't say this enough. Now where are they lacking: - Jamaican "Joseline Hernandez" , gives you attitude for days. I mean will look right past you as if you don't exist. You will know her as soon as you see her. As a fellow Caribbean, it annoyed me to see her behind the counter at any time of the day. Clearly she is NOT the owner as no vested interest. - Under 22yr old who just serves you bones. You will end up with bones and no meat if you are not careful. No one wants to pay for bones. - Greasy Johnny cakes that cost $0.50 . Yeah decent price but keep in mind you are paying that 50 cents for a higher heart attack risk due to the fact of a grease attack. - No consistent sweet selection . You may see something in the case or you may not. Don't expect to know the expiration date either as if you get JJH... she will look right past you in those heavy black rimmed glasses and braces. Stew chicken is decent enough. Rice is fine. The under 22yr old will give you loads of rice in lieu of meat too. Plantains are scarce or must be in captivity because you will get 2 or 3 small little bites! Still... I will return and be happy when JJH and under 22 aren't behind the counter. If they are... I suspect I will get a headache and end up at Subway next door! read more

I have had Mum's several times and it's definitely one of my favorite Jamaican spots in Raleigh. I usually get the curry chicken which is really good, but this weekend I tried the oxtail and fell in love. The oxtail were tender and the gravy was super flavorful! They give you a very big portion of food, so I was able to make two meals out of one. I also got a spicy beef patty but ate it before I could get a good picture. The texture of their beef patties are perfect! read more
