Food is good. Portions aren't consistent and the staff is very rude. When you ask simple questions they act as if they are bothered by you. No matter how good the food is I can take my money elsewhere and be treated much better. read more

The jerk mac and cheese lives up to alllll the hype. Perfectly cooked and cheesy with a kick too! For a side, the portions were very generous. One thing to note: I had called ahead to place an order of mac and cheese for pick up but they said they didn't take orders for that over the phone. Must be because it's so popular! Also got the jerk chicken with rice which was very good. Service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend this place! read more

I ordered a small oxtail plate and received 3 oxtails. I called thinking it was a mistake and the woman on the phone confirmed that a small comes with 3 oxtails, a medium comes with 4 and a large comes with 5. Never in my life have I received 3 oxtails when ordering an oxtail plate, no matter the size. This is completely unacceptable and for that reason, I will not return. I know the price of oxtails has gone up drastically but it feels like Murl's is trying to stick it to their customers so they can pocket more money. That is not how you do business. read more

I love oxtail in any style and Murl's didn't disappoint. It was tender, flavorful and reasonably priced. I got the oxtail plate with the rice and beans (not sure why Uber eats says rice and peas) and veggies. The oxtail is a dish you should eat with rice because it is on the saltier side. The rice and beans offset the salt, the oxtail meat is tender and the veggies add a nice crunch with every fork full. Wifey got the jerk chicken plate with rice and beans and plantains. The plantains were good, I've been disappointed by so many places I was afraid murls would let me down, but they surely did not. The chicken was very flavorful with a nice kick but also a little too salty. The person who recommended Murl's to us suggested the Goat curry, so we got a side of it. It was really good! I thought it was better than the oxtail. The goat was a little gamey but was masked but the flavorful curry and boy this meat was even more tender than the oxtail. This might go into our monthly dinner rotation. read more

Murls Kitchen serves and cooks food with love. They have amazingly flavorful cabbage, rice, jerk chicken, stew chicken, and fried chicken. Their Mac and cheese is also delicious with a Jamaican twist. I've only ordered delivery but I was recommended this being the best Jamaican in Boston, and I agree! read more

Listen! Listen!! This place is so amazing!!! I've ordered a few times- ok, maybe 10x from Murl's via Uber eats! Their veggies are so tasty and crunchy! What I love is this place decided to put their own spin on Caribbean dishes.... by offering Various Rasta Pasta dishes on Fridays/Saturdays. Hands down one of my new favorite places!!! long live Murl's and lighters to the Chef! Pictured: Oxtail Rasta Pasta read more

There are a lot of Jamaican restaurants in this neighborhood so if you're going to open up a Jamaican restaurant, your food needs to be on point! I'm still on my first plate of jerk pork it's amazing. If I had to find anything negative, it would be broccoli in my cabbage, rice and peas delicious jerk pork delicious plantain delicious prices affordable good job. read more

I heard about this place from a friend and decided to check it out. I got jerk Mac and cheese and jerk pork and both were sooo good! I ate most of the pork before the picture, I will definitely be back. *Update* I told my family and friends about this place and it's so good, they've gone multiple times. The jerk Mac and cheese is really something special. read more

Amazing corner spot in Dorchester. Bright and clean and COVID-proof. Had the oxtail, rice and peas and vegetables. All were outstanding. Excellent heat and spice on the oxtail. Can't figure out how they get their vegetables to be a warm as they are but still crunchy and flavorful. Hits the sweet-spot between raw and cooked. Went back and had the jerk mac and cheese. Its as good as everyone says. Nice heat on the lips and SO tasty. Definitely heading back for rasta pasta one upcoming weekend. Really friendly staff. The picture of "Murl" at the register is a classic and adds a homey touch to this great restaurant. read more

It's a no for me! The rice was SUPER bland, the regular mac needed some lawry's but it has potential. The only thing I actually like from here is the salmon. People rave about the jerk mac so I may try that but it's a big maybe. read more

Small location but worth the visit! Food is always bomb, I always get the small oxtail and am very full after. Ask for extra gravy on the rice always! Service is fast, the line kept moving. read more

Excellent service, super friendly, extremely Clean (Covid-19 where).. The flavor profiles are amazing in my opinion with everything paired together complimenting each other elegantly.. A Delight for the Palate... read more

LISTEN DAMN IT!!! My ex told me about Murl's Kitchen and told me that I had to try the Jerk Mac & Cheese. Now my ex does not have good taste and can't cook, HOWEVER she was spot on with Murl's Kitchen. One scoop of that damn Jerk MAC & Cheese and I am all in!!!! Y'all better get ready because I'm gonna tell all my friends about how good the food is. On that day I bought 2 plates. Jerk chicken and curry chicken with a side of jerk Mac & Cheese. The jerk chicken had that fresh off the grill flavor and the rice taste like it was freshly cooked. Lastly the veggies were actually cooked and not too crunchy with an incredible seasoned flavor. Murl's Kitchen is the truth!!!! read more

So I visited Murls again today only for the Jerk Mac. I called ahead not to waste time making the trip and they were sold out! Well I secure my 2 orders of jerk Mac. Customer service a 2 out of 10 they have young people in the front with attitudes who are unwelcoming at the most! I get home and start to enjoy my jerk Mac and to my disappointment I could taste that it's not fresh at all, but pre made, frozen , and then reheated. Only reason why I could tell is cause you can tastes the unfrost after taste in the jerk Mac. I understand the inflation of cost of groceries is going up right now, but this is just horrendous. You're making ppl pay $7.00 for days old jerk Mac that you freeze then reheat is disgusting and disrespectful ! Don't worry I will never return to your premises as the rest of your menu is disgusting . I'll go elsewhere from now on!!!! read more

I really like this place but the lack of consistency is soooo annoying- especially when we have such a small amount of black businesses to support in Boston. They are advertised to be open and they aren't - or they have stuff on the menu online and then they don't have it - SMDH and do better PLEASE!!!!! read more

Always out of something, whether it's big or small. Take forever to serve a customer; doesn't even matter what the service is. The inside of the restaurant is alright. read more

Baby!! This food is so flavorful. I know the go to item is rasta pasta and the snapper. We wanted fried seafood and every other restaurant was far. My friend recommended this place. I'm upset that i didn't try it earlier!! We ordered feted haddock, fried shrimp, Mac and cheese and a meat patty. Everything was so tasty.. i love how they fried the fish. I do wish there was more fish, but we were still full after eating. I'll definitely be ordering from here again. read more

****Worth every single ounce of hype.**** The most important thing to note is the freshness. Everything tasted like it had been cooked to order. Their chicken is exactly what jerk chicken should be. The vegetables were thinly sliced but overcooked. My rice was soft and flavorsome. The jerk mac and cheese is actually a really well balanced dish. And they use cavatappi noodles so everything is wrapped in that ridiculously delicious sauce. They've got a new regular. read more

The service is excellent! The food is delicious! The team here is so kind. I love all of their seafood options. The mac and cheese is out of this world. Thank you Murl's for upholding an excellent standard. read more

This spot was recommended by a colleague and I see why! I love Jamaican food and my fiancé and I were excited to try this spot out! We got the jerk mac & cheese, jerk pork served w/ cabbage and rice & peas. Everything was good! The mac & cheese is a must try. The pork is tender and seasoned great, the cabbage I want more it's so yummy! Can't wait until next time we will be trying again! read more

Only one Jamaican restaurant has the best oxtails entree hands down. Jus ordered a small plate plus delivery came out to be 34$. The oxtail sauce tasted like jerk sauce to me. And the portions is 80% rice 20% oxtail. Ate a lil bit because I was not feeling the sauce. Not satisfied. Last time ordering here read more

‍ I am so disappointed. When I first came here their jerk pork was favorite. Now their jerk pork is a pork chop‍ today I ordered jerk chicken. Ummmm first all it was a dry chicken breast cut up with no skin. I don't know what happen to this place but the inconsistency is too much. read more

The food is SO GOOD. I recommend the patties with coco bread, jerk mac and cheese (which is more creamy than cheesy but really yummy nonetheless), and any of the main plates. Best West Indian food in the neighborhood (that you can get from a restaurant, anyway), in my humble opinion. Service is spotty though. I've waited a long time for a small order while staff looked to be taking their time. Once we had to go back after we left the store because they forgot our plantains -- just straight up left an empty compartment in the container where the plantains were supposed to go. Granted, they did give us a fairly generous portion of plantains when we told them. I just wish they were a bit more consistent. I'll keep going back for the food though! read more

Their portions are smaller than most places, but their Mac and cheese is bomb , I've had all three and they're good. The customer service is really good too. I've had a few other meals and they're were ok but the Mac and cheese is probably the best thing they serve way better than the other places around. read more

One of the great take-out spots between Grove Hall and 4 Corners. Huge servings, and the Jerk Mac & Cheese is a requirement.

Staff is super nice, even when they are close to closing. The jerk mac and cheese is to die for! Always seasoned and spicy to perfection. Even later in the day. The cons are just that there is barely any parking on this street-- come with someone if you can! They don't really let you pre order unless it's a special plate. It's small, clean, and you can see them putting your food together. I'll always come back for that MAC. ‍ read more

This place has the best Jamaican food this side of Boston! I've tried mostly everything but my absolute favorite is the jerk pork and the fresh veggies! If your looking for GOOD FOOD go here read more

I learned of your establishment from getting my hair done in a beauty shop. Beauticians and some of the clients were doing a food run to your restaurant. My beautician said your daily soup options are tasty. One of the customers was raving over your Rasta Pasta and Jerk mac and cheese. I did not know such a thing existed .With that said, I had to check it out. So me and my hubby made the journey from Weymouth to get dinner. It was worth the drive. The only thing is could you cut back on the salt in your food preparation. Us Black and Brown folks has to be aware of sodium intake with high-blood pressure conditions. Just a suggestion to beware of. We will be back to try some of your other meals. It is really hard to get REAL good Jamaican food. I wish you all the best success in your endeavors. Irie! read more

Most definitely the best in Boston they just don't like when I ask for too much coco bread and cheese

Amazing food, we came all the way from Lowell and were stunned by the jerk mac and cheese! I was so impressed and was planning to come back as soon as I could! The next time I got the opportunity, my boyfriend and I decided we would go back and get some mac and cheese before we had to go to work. We arrived about an hour after they opened only to find their closed sign on the door. My boyfriend went inside and asked if they were opened, and they said they would be ready to serve food in 30 minutes... really? We didn't have 30 minutes to wait and were so disappointed. The food is great, the inside is clean and modern, but please call beforehand to see if they are actually open, especially if you are coming from far away! read more

jerk Mac is sooooo good however the Rasta Pasta has been very dry lately

Came to Boston to visit and stopped in this place . Food was amazing ! Prices were awesome and the place was very clean .

The food at Murl's is executed with perfection. It remind me of my moms food when growing up. I've had the goat, jerk pork, and the oxtail so far and it is a legit 10 out 10. Jerk Mac and cheese, pure genius. This place is a hidden gem. Definitely going back for more. And this is from a guy who is normally critical of west indian restaurants. You have to try it to believe it! read more
