Went to brunch with my homegirl. I loved the other location so decided to visit. The pros are: free parking and good service. The cons are: no liquor license yet, didn't have some of the menu items and the food wasn't good. I ordered ribs and curry goat. Both were very tough. The mocktails were pretty tasty. I won't return. read more

The food was ok. I got a side of rice and peas, macaroni, and a beef patty. The beef patty was nicely breaded/put together with a pleasant presentation. The flavor could have been kicked up a notch. The macaroni was cheesy. However I didn't care for the seasoning used. The rice and peas could have used oxtail gravy on top. The ginger pineapple juice was the favorite part of my meal...very refreshing! My friend enjoyed her red snapper- the bare bone was proof!...lol Parking is plentiful and free in the lot. It took over 5 minutes to be greeted and seated despite the crowd being light. Our waitress, Shanae, was nice and gave great recommendations. I did not like that the bill was equally split. This was my first time visiting this location. read more

Service was a no for me. Me and my family went for a birthday celebration. The restaurant is a little small yet cute. Our server was snappy and our food took forever to come out. I ordered the fried snapper and it was very delicious. The beef patties are super flaky, spicy and good. I would give Negril a second chance just would like a different server. read more

To start off there wasn't any parking available So we had to get dropped off in order to make our reservations. We were sitting in the upstairs area. This place is an infusion of Jamaican food. I dnt feel like it's home made but it's good nevertheless and close. We came here for brunch. We got Rum punch for the table. And I got curry chicken with rice& peas, steamed cabbage, and sweet plantains. I thought the food was good, as previously stated it's not as good as a mom and pop shop but it def hit the spot. My friends tried the stew chicken, chicken and waffles and oxtails. The chicken and waffles were different (not like American fried chicken & waffles). Everyone seemed to like their meals. We also tried out their Mac n cheese. Over all, it was a good vibe and we enjoyed ourselves. read more

Did they change owners?? What is going on? Every time I order it just feels like it's a different meal that's coming either. The jerk chicken is too hard and overcooked or the wings. One moment are falling off the bone the next they're not like I just don't know what's happening. read more

My husband and I came for Sunday dinner as my son had an event at TopGolf half a mile down the road. I made a reservation for 5:15 pm just to be on the safe side. Staff was extremely friendly and we were checked on throughout our dinner. We started with the cornbread with guava butter. It was so tasty! My husband and I shared Da roundabout with three different entrees. I loved the jerk chicken which had a kick and the oxtail. They were out of the goat curry, so we had chicken curry which i could use a little more kick. For dessert we shared the bread pudding which was excellent. We will definitely be back when we are near the area! read more

We were leaving a studio podcast down and needed to stop for water so we stopped at the store and as we were leaving we noticed @NeGrilATL and my friend Byron said that sounds like a Jamaican spot. We all look at eachother and says Jamaican sounds good lol The restaurant looked closed but we stopped to make sure and it was actually open. The interior is very elegant and welcoming and the service was great. Our server gave us great recommendations including the shrimp cornbread toast which will literally blow your mind. By far one of the most flavorful dishes I've had in a long time, I'm super impressed. The wings were really well done which was disappointing compared to the rest of the meal because the oxtail was amazing. The sauce went perfect with the rice. If i would improve anything it would be to make the wings more tender and don't reuse them after a day if it was already cooked well done and the rice could be a little better. I think the rice could have been a day old as well which happens when you want to save money and aren't as busy. I believe the busier they are the better the food will be because it will be fresh. But I really enjoyed the oxtails and shrimp cornbread and definitely recommend this spot. I am always craving Oxtail read more

Don't be fooled from the outside appearance. I definitely recommend that they add more trees to hide the highway however, once you go inside, it's a beautifully designed restaurant. The service was really good. They make accommodations for you. If you ask nicely, of course. my girlfriend had the curry goat and I had the mac & cheese. currently they don't have a liquor license so it's bring your own wine. However they are conveniently located next to a liquor store!!! definitely get your ladies bring your own bottles save on liquor and enjoy some good food and good music.!!!! read more

I used to LOVE them when they were at the Forest ghost kitchen and original location. I ordered on Uber eats twice since the new location. The first time - I walked in to pick up my order and they told me I had to go to the side window IN the rain. I understand the restaurant is smaller, but as a customer, I feel like they could have just passed the order over. I gave them another chance and they ran out of pasta which is fine. However, my uber delivery driver was waiting for about 15 minutes before they told her. She still delivered the other item but communication is key! The jerk wings are always amazing, spicy but good. The oxtail pasta when it's available is pretty good as well when it's consistent! Again, when they were located at the ghost kitchen 10/10!! I haven't ate in the restaurant but the vibe and aesthetics look beautiful. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner. They were very understaffed to start so service was extremely slow. I sat down at the table around 7:45, I did not receive my entree until 10:26. My oxtail hardly had any whole bones just broken up meat. My jerk wings were literally charred, not jerked, charred. At the end of the dinner one check was dropped and they said they could only take 5 cards for a table of 12. The waitress was extremely pushy trying to say we could just split it evenly. They use the same handheld devices all other restaurants use. These places have no problem going through and allowing people to pay for what they ordered. Plates of the same dishes came out looking different. The birthday person even had issues even before arriving with them having a record of her reservation even though she made it a month before. Overall would not recommend. read more

So its very small on the inside compared to the original location and they still don't have their liquor license. I felt like we were touching shoulders with the couples beside us. We could hear their conversations and probably could have lend over and tried their food, that close. There were plenty of open tables for parties of 4; with the restaurant not being at 50% or greater compacity the waitress still said she couldn't move us for more space. We left & didn't try the food. Not sure if I would try it again. Maybe the food truck one day. read more

BK stand up!! Everythang was amazing!! The restaurant is quaint and has a very lovely interior! The soup (Lawd if it wasn't piping hot!!!) I would've drank it!!

I ordered the oxtails, rice 'n pea, cabbage and a side of mac 'n cheese. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!! I met a lady on the way out who wasn't sure if it was open or not....I hope she took me up on my "in-person" review!! See yall soon!! read more

Dined here with a friend and we both ordered the oxtails entree. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't have their liquor license yet, but I do understand that they just moved into this new location. Also, SHOUT OUT TO FOR HAVING FREE PARKING! I'm so tired of these ATL restaurants charging for "valet" or self parking on property they already oversee. I was especially surprised that when I asked for peppa sauce, they brought out REAL peppa sauce in a saucer cup. A lot of Caribbean restaurants tend to not carry peppa sauce or provide the generic safe mild peppa sauce. read more

We have had the worst restaurant experiences in Atlanta this past week and NegrilATL took the cake. The delay, lack of customer service, and drop in food quality in this establishment is just disappointing. Especially since I had such a great experience at the Brooklyn location. Firstly, it took 40 minutes to receive our appetizers, one order of jerk wings and an order of ackee and Saltfish egg rolls. And they were COLD! Normally this would've be an automatic "thank you, we're paying for what we have received and we are leaving." However we'd been at a conference all day and it was too close to a time when most restaurants were closing. We decided to extend some extra patience or risk not eating at all that night. Much to our dismay, the entrees (coco salmon and whole snapper) took an additional 45 mins and they too, were COLD! Day two in Atlanta and this downtown restaurant scene is not looking good. Imagine the joke was on us when the plates were hot but the food was burnt, over fried and served cold. Absolutely not freshly cooked at all. read more

Upon arrival, at approximately 12:10 pm, the restaurant wasn't ready to seat anyone. We were then told by our server that they were out of a number of items on the menu. Seemed odd considering they just opened for the day. Food was hit and miss. I ordered the Jerk Salmon with mixed vegetables. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the jerk sauce was great. However, the mixed vegetables had no seasoning and the mashed sweet potato also had no seasoning. read more

Negril village is one of the few Jamaican Restaurants in the metro area that has a sophisticated yet casual ambiance. The building is an old historic Firehouse built in 1907 and you'll surely see and feel the elegance and charm of construction. We came to celebrate my grandmothers 80th and my family is a picky, opinionated bunch so we decided to just eat Jamaican Food (like we don't eat this everyday- LOL. With that in mind we knew to visit Negril because it's one of the few places that will provide the atmosphere to celebrate an occasion like that. The service was Great! The waiter was patient with my family and gave answers to questions. My family is Old School and cook everyday, and if they don't cook they cook something that's quick. So when eating out they have questions and he was very patient. He also allowed us to split the check which was a plus. The menu has typical Jamaican Fare and a few items that are fused with American favorites like wings, pasta and grits.... In all we enjoyed ourselves. For constructive criticism I would serve wine in a wine glass especially with the ambiance of the restaurant. My mother was taken back when they brought the wine in a rinsed tumbler. That's really my only con. They do offer brunch, so this is a popular restaurant for Brunch Vibes and Sunday Funday. They also have a large event space upstairs that can accommodate your event and host parties during holiday weekends in Atlanta. Until this most recent trip I hadn't visited in years but from what I remember and based on other recent reviews they get packed fast! Be sure to book a reservation and if you have a group everyone MUST be there to be seated! read more

I enjoyed my shrimp and grits. They were so flavorful and filled me up. The tomato based creole sauce paired so well with the grits. My friends enjoyed their entrees as well. For my drink , I ordered the Rude Gyal with vodka and it was so fruity and not too strong. The service was slow that is the reason for the 3 reviews. There was only one waitress for multiple tables which caused the long waits. Our server was good and helpful . She made the experience better and was apologetic. We watched one table leave because they had not been helped for a long while. The only recommendation is better service to minimize the long wait times for drinks and foods. The decor is beautiful and I liked the artwork upstairs. read more

Definitely not worth the hype. The restaurant is decorated beautifully inside, but the experience didn't match the atmosphere. I had a 9:00 pm reservation for two and arrived at 8:55 pm. It still took a while for us to be seated and greeted, even though the only occupied table was a large party. There were two servers working; one was handling the large group alone while the other assisted the rest of the empty dining room. The server assisting the large party is the one who ended up seating us. The tables for two are noticeably small, and the plates are oversized, so the table became crowded quickly. If you plan to order multiple items, be prepared for very limited space. We ordered the oxtail stew with a side of macaroni and cheese, the curry chicken, and the jerk wings. The food took a while to come out, and when it did, the oxtail stew was mostly bones. The jerk wings were just okay, but not even warm when they arrived, which was disappointing for the price point. The curry chicken wasn't memorable either. When the waiter asked how everything was, I mentioned that the oxtail stew was mostly bones. He went to check with the kitchen and came back to say they had served me the "last bit" of the oxtail, that's why it was nearly all bones. Hearing that only made the situation worse. If a dish is nearly gone or mostly scraps, that should absolutely be communicated before serving it, not after the customer complains. He offered to give me brown stew chicken to go, but at that point I wasn't interested in trying anything else. We made a reservation and did not arrive close to closing, so serving leftover portions was surprising and disappointing. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're looking for somewhere to sit and pass time without expecting good food or good service read more

The food is really good. Went this last Thursday night and loved the ambience. Only down side is that they only had one waitress, so although the food was great and she was nice, service was a little slow ( water refills, etc). Also, just a note that they don't have their liquor license yet so mocktails only but the Bellini mocktail I had was really tasty. read more

The ackee and saltfish eggrolls were very delicious. The sweet sauce was a nice accompaniment. I enjoyed the oxtail, but I felt like the flavor was lit exactly my preference. It leaned more into spicy flavor without the spicy kick and without enough of other flavors. I hope that makes sense because that's the best way I could explain it. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were fun. They suggested a giant mimosa tower which got me and my two friends exactly where we needed to be. I started off with an old fashioned and finished with the mimosas. They have outside seating, bar seating, regular seating and parking (about 20-30 spots) read more

Coming from New York I thought this restaurant was affiliated with the NY Negril restaurant. I was kindly mistaken! This place has a vibe of its own! It can be an amazing brunch spot or a calm dinner night. Somehow the railroad style setup of the bar on one side and the table on the other found a way to synchronize into a delightful venue. I don't know what this establishment was before a restaurant but it has a classic feel to it that wasn't lost in the upgrade. Phenomenal food especially the Snapper! There's some good hands in that kitchen ! read more

The servers are reasonable; however, the wait times can be long. The excellent music makes it not so bad. The drinks are okay. The food can be small in portion sizes but decently tasting. My favorites are the oxtails, rice, and peas, as well as the mac and cheese and cabbage. The bathrooms are upstairs; be careful. This used to be an old fire station where my dad worked at one point in the 90s. It's great to see what they did with the decor. read more

I've been here before, primarily for private events hosted in their lovely, quaint second story venue. This visit, I invited a client to a late lunch at 2pm on a Thursday. The decor is beautiful and included preserved historic components. We had a reservation, and a host quickly came over to greet us and gave us a very lovely, corner table, which was ideal for business conversation. I think we sat for nearly 10 minutes with no server. We tried to hail a passing employee to inform them it appeared no server was assigned to our table but he did not hear us. Finally a server noticed that no one else was serving us, and she came over to apologize and seemed frustrated that either the host hadn't notified the staff of our being seated or perhaps we were placed in an area servers weren't working. Also it would have been nice to have used to the time to peruse the menu but we weren't given any by the host and oddly there were no QR code menus on any of the tables. So not the best start to begin a business meal with a dead 10 minutes of no attention. Alas, our server, Deja continued to provide good service to us. She made excellent cocktail recommdations. Definitely order the Sprtiz Thing if you enjoy light alcohol + bubbles - perfect for midday. My guest ordered passion fruit salmon and I ordered the curry chicken. The food was lovely, and we also had jerk shrimp skewers for a starter. Because I've been before, I probably should have gone with the jerk wings which never disappoint. Definitely worth a trip. There is a small adjacent parking lot which uses ParkMobile. I paid $7.75 for 2 hours. On evenings and weekends when it's crowded you may not find a spot. In that case I suggest on-street parking on West Peachtree & North Ave, which may require Park mobile payment unless it's after 10pm or on weekends. read more

Tried this restaurant out. The service was nice. The food was just okay- it's not like the best Caribbean food. It's American style Caribbean which kind of washed out the flavors I expected. The rum punch was AMAZING. The oxtail was not as tender as I would prefer but it was still good. There is a parking lot next to the restaurant that you have to pay for, and I also recommend making a reservation in advance. read more

I was really looking forward to our time here. We were visiting Atlanta for the weekend and a friend recommended this place. He made reservations for Saturday night. When we walked in and were greeted by the hostess, Jade, I was thoroughly impressed. She was warm and inviting. Friendly and respectful. I felt like I was going to have a great time. However, when our waitress greeted us, things quickly went sour. She could have been more enthusiastic to greet us. She did not smile or give a warm welcome. I was turned off. We wanted to purchase a bottle of wine or two depending on how well the night went. She gave push-back when I requested a taste of the wine in order to make my decision. Finally, we were allowed to taste two bottles and decided on one. For dinner, I ordered chicken pumpkin soup. I didn't enjoy it. I couldn't enjoy it because it was too spicy for me. I am not a fan of spicy foods and I detest not being given a heads-up ahead of time. My friends and husband enjoyed their dishes. Which I was happy about. The dessert was delicious. I ordered a cheesecake which came to the table with a beautiful presentation. I wish that our service was better than it was. We did end up ordering two bottles of wine because, despite the service, we were having a great time. The ambiance is dark and moody which I love especially because every table is well-lit with candles. You can have a romantic meal here or a dinner party. They do offer that versatility but the music was too loud for my taste. If you don't finish your food and want to take the rest home with you, be prepared to box your own food. They do not offer that service. read more

The food was delicious as always! :) I must say this is not my first time visiting Negril, but this was my first time at the new location. I was very disappointed in this experience. The ambiance was nice but the restaurant did feel a bit warm even with the wall units on. My party of 4 had a reservation for 2pm and didn't get seated until 3pm. I wanted to give the staff the benefit of the doubt. They appeared to be short staffed but the lack of care didn't sit right with me. No one greeted us, we waited by the door for over 30 min before someone addressed us. We eventually were seated and the waitress on call was not hospitable at all. Not a "thank you for your patience" or "I apologize for the wait". There was a little attitude, probably from the frustration of the short staff. But this is a review about my experience. I would give the restaurant another try since this was my first bad experience. But I may wait until the staff settles in with the new location. read more

I haven't been back to Negril since before the pandemic. The food was tasty! All of my guests indicated their food was good. We all had the oxtail plate, oxtail pasta, brown stew chicken and the salmon. All very good. The hostess, the bartender and the manager coming to check on us were all. Kind. The customer service was by far top tier which isn't always available at places that are owned by people of color which I can say as I'm a black Woman that makes it my business to seek service from these Specific businesses. The parking was ample as there is parking immediately next to the building and Negril doesn't own it, but it was $20. I will definitely be back from brunch or a day when the live band is there. read more

This is our first visit to Negril ATL, I have visited Negril BK and the original location, Negril Village in Manhattan NYC. This location has lived up to the family name. Our server Atilia was great! Energetic, warm and professional. Took our entire order including appetizers without writing it down and got it perfectly right. The food was excellent, the cocktails, delicious. The music was a bit loud for my liking but that's typical for a Friday night. After dinner we had drinks outside on the patio and that was also awesome. The manager stopped by our table to check on us and she was very warm and welcoming. We will be back when we visit the ATL. read more

On a Friday evening after leaving the high museum my husband and I decided to walk the area for a little bit to see what else was around.

The food was absolutely phenomenal! I highly recommend this place if you can afford to go. There is automatic of 20% gratuity for a table of 2 guests or more (which is basically everyone, in my opinion). There is also no tap water. Water will cost per bottle as will cans of any carbonated beverages at a significant markup. The food, while exceptional, was pricey and the wait staff seemed to only be interested in parties ordering a lot of food. My partner and I ordered one bowl of pasta to share as well as a beef patty and some waters. The server made a face when we stated we would share a bowl of the pasta and never returned to our table again other than to pressure us to leave. If the price was more reasonable and the staff was more friendly this would, no doubt, be a five star experience. read more

Negril ATL - Oxtail Pasta Bowl - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Great food, fast, and a parking lot to the side. I brought my friend here who is from Jamaica and wanted Caribbean food while visiting from England. We came for lunch at about 2 on a weekday and we were the only ones there. With the nice weather we sat outside. They don't have paper menus so you'll have to get the menu from their website. We ordered a few things for her to try and 2 mains. Codfish fritters - 3 crispy balls filled with fish and a little bit of spice. Served on a bed of lettuce and mango salsa. My friend loved these. Ackee and saltfish rolls - deep fried with lots of fish and crispy. Comes with 2 rolls and some sweet and sour dipping sauce. These were a hit! Jerk Chicken Bowl - I ordered this. It was a large portion with 3 cuts of chicken, all dark meat, maybe 2 cups of rice and beans, cabbage, sweet plantains, and a lot of jerk sauce at the bottom. The chicken was great! I just wanted to keep eating but had to take half to go. Jamaican Breakfast - my friend loved this. The saltfish and ackee was a large portion on top of the appetizers. They also have sorrel to drink so my friend was in love! Next time: I'm trying a Curry Goat Bowl or dinner. read more
