Third time ordering from this place. Never had the items on the menu. Too late when you order. The driver doesn't pick up and the business doesn't pick up the phone . Stay clear of this business . Third time to try and the same results . Would be better off getting a happy meal from McDonald's read more

Since moving from Orlando I have not found a Jamaican restaurant as good at Nightowl. The jerk chicken was juicy and well seasoned in addition to everything else. read more

A stand alone older building painted festive Caribbean colors. Ample parking. Noticed a lot of take out orders being processed. Very simple, down home environment. Server was polite and friendly. Quality of food was excellent. I've tried their goat curry, a must. If you want Caribbean/Jamaican food give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

so while the food is good, the time it takes you to wait for your food is unreasonably ridiculous. first time I ordered it took me waiting 40mins just to get my food and I called In. they were like 4 people in front of me. second time, I drove from Orlando to eustis and my food was given to me. which is expected considering how long the drive is and how long they take to put the food in the box. 3rd time, I order it on DoorDash, I ordered my food at 13:04 My driver got there at 13:40. I check the DoorDash app and my food still wasn't ready at 14:00. I mean, do they cook the food to order because it is ridiculous. Anyways, I will not be ordering again because of the service and the time it takes to get my food. My lunch break came and went and I couldn't even eat because the food got to me at 14:20 read more

If you like great and different food this is the place. Clean great service and enjoyable.

Having never eaten Caribbean food before, I was nervous and very skeptical of trying it. My work colleague brought me to this place that didn't look like much and was really just a hole in the wall; of which, through my experience has delivered the best meals. The food was amazing. The tail was super tender and flavorful, the collard green were good and so were the Mac and cheese. The beef patty was fresh and handmade. No complaints, great portions, decent prices. read more

Waste of $20. The Mac and cheese was definitely scrapped from the bottom of the pan. Not to mention when you pay they claim the machine they use charges a fee but they don't know how much the fee will be so they give you one total but charge your card something different. Won't be going back. read more

If you're looking for a Caribbean Restaurant, these are the greatest hits: *GIANT servings *FLAVOR that hits your mouth every bite *LOTS of Caribbean classics available Nightowl hits these out of the park! My ox tails were generously portioned and heavy with meat. They were piled on a huge serving of red beans and rice, and the fatty juices permeated through the whole plate (just how you'd want it if you're ordering ox tails.) The macaroni and cheese is with big noodles and thick sauce. It was just an all around perfectly done to go order of what I was craving. read more

Support the local small businesses!!! Delicious food and great service, the curry goat with greens, and plantain is amazing. The Mac and cheese and sweet bread were made to perfection. We also took home two of each meat pie as appetizers which we definitely recommend. Thank you ma'am and sir. read more

The one star is because the people are friendly. Had Jerk chicken, collards, rice & peas and plantains. Jerk chicken should have been called jerk bone, very little chicken. Collards and rice & peas were bland. Plantains were dry. No impressed at all and highly do not recommend. read more

The food here was so good and definitely worth the wait. I have been here twice now, and both times the food was good. The portions are a nice size and the food is well seasoned. I definitely will be back again and I highly recommend this place. read more

Being from Miami we didn't expect much from a Caribbean restaurant in Eustis. Much to our surprise the food was very authentic and excellent. We've now ordered from here three or four times. Food has been good each time however, they do run out of things quite often. The atmosphere is very typical of Jamaican restaurants in Jamaica. Nothing fancy I would suggest taking out only with that said give it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Wow. This food is incredible! Jerk Chicken is amazing, as are the sides and sauces. If you're looking for some quality Caribbean food look no further. Prices are reasonable. Portions are great. I can't wait to eat my left overs tonight. read more

After residing between Orange and Lake County I ocean travelled between both. It's no brained that Orange County has the best food options. But when in the rural lands of Lake County and you're in the mood for some authentic Jamaican food, be sure to eat here! read more

First time try after hearing so many good reviews. They did not disappoint! I got two orders of the jerk pork with plantains and green beans. One of the orders I got with spicy sauce and the other order was with the sweet sauce. The smell and taste were both amazing! I wanna go back and try the jerk chicken now! read more

The food wasn't cooked to the expectation if you cook island or Caribbean food at the very least put the most important ingredients in what you are making first rice and peas I've gotten that was dry curry goat not what I expected just wasn't worth the time I took to ho get it nor the money I waste. read more

Stopped in for a quick check of the menu & decided to order small sides - Cornbread - delicious & moist & fluffy Collard greens - SO YUM, not Smokey (which I liked) Oxtail - melt in your mouth !!! Good with their rice & peas Had 2 stripes & a modelo - Affordable & worth it. TIP WELL read more

I have found that the most unassuming eateries serve the most decadent foods. and the Night Owl delivers in spades!! great customer service, amazing authentic caribbean cuisine. My husband and I drove 1.5 hrs to experience and satisfy our craving for Jamaican food. everything was seasoned to perfection and the portions were a plenty. I couldn't finish mine, but my husband was shocking pleased and FULL. We'll make this trip again and again!!!!! Thank you Night Owl for such an enjoyable adventure. MUST TRY the collard greeens! AMAZING!! read more

Delicious food! Ive been wanting to try this place since I moved to town. Its always empty looking so I didn't have very high hopes. I tried the curry chicken with greens, mac n cheese and beans /rice. The greens were easily the best I've ever had. The chicken was moist and tender. And the mac and cheese was nice and crusty on top. My bf had the jerk chicken which was a little spicy for him but it didn't stop him from finishing the plate! He said the cornbread was very moist and had pieces of corn in it which he appreciated. Can't wait to try the ox tail! Oh, and it looks empty because people call ahead and pick up. Its actually quite busy with ppl coming and going. But there's plenty of space to eat in if that's your preference. read more

O.M.G!!! The best oxtails I have ever had!! The food was delicious! Service was very friendly! You have to stop and try this place. Small Mom and Pops, not much seating but, they do have take out. The best soul food around!!! read more

Was in the mood for something different. First time trying Goat Curry and it was amazing! Fair number of bones to eat around, but well worth the effort. Had great flavor and much better than any beef. Also tried the greens, that were very good. I have had better, but they were good. They didn't have plantains, so that was a little disappointing. Reason to go back. Highly recommend this place. read more

I had the pleasure to eat at this restaurant and I must say that the food is AMAZING ! Very nice owner and employees I had the best curry goat stew with rice and peas, mac and cheese, yellow sweet fried plantains and a delicious sweet corn bread, My sister had the Stew Oxtail also AMAZING ! Kudos to the owner. I will be back soon to try other dishes and Im sure they will be as good. read more

Excellent surprise! We decided on trying something different than the usual and from the awesome reviews here on Yelp, wanted to give it a try. We weren't disappointed in the least. Hubs ordered the Curry Goat with white rice and greens, while I ordered the Curry Chicken with rice & beans and greens as well. Those greens!!! Incredible with a smokey flavor and perfect texture. Loved every bite. We've just placed another order for dinner tonight and mixed it up just a tiny bit. We heard that the sweet cornbread was something you shouldn't miss. The wait is for carry out orders is the standard 20 minutes, but sometimes they just get crazy busy. It's worth the wait IMO, so that's not a big deal. Check it out if you haven't yet... We're new to the area for a whole two weeks and this is our second time around. read more

I was surprised to find out there was a Jamaican spot in Eustis so I was anxious to check it out! The menu was full of options from oxtails, jerk chicken/pork to classic dishes like curry chicken and mannish water. I decided to try thr 2 meat combo ($15.99). Initially I wanted brown stewed chicken and stew beef but they were out of the beef so I settled on curry turkey wings and oxtails. Both meats were tender and the 'tails had an incredible flavor to them. I didn't taste much curry on the turkey wings though. The greens were quite tasty (they were out of cabbage too) and the plaintains were a big disappointment. I'm not use to island food being paired with American dishes like mac n cheese (which was nothing to write home about) but again, the greens did not disappoint! The portions were over-the-top and that made me smile I've had better authentic Jamaican food but this was pretty decent for the area. Oh and btw, the young lady tending the register could use alittle one-on-one customer service training but her slightly spicy attitude will not deter me from ordering here again. read more

My husband and I drive past this place all the time and we went last night on a whim. It was amazing. I had a beef and chicken pattie with a side of plantains. He had the jerk pork dinner plate. Needless to say, we were so full afterwards. The portions are large. The price is good. You can't beat this authentic Caribbean food in little Eustis. read more

Ate here for lunch and was impressed that they had their own smoker and firewood in the back. Was also impressed with how clean the place was as usually these hole in the walls are especially dirty. The food was solid. We ordered the oxtail, chicken curry, and the meat patties. The oxtail was tender and flavorful. The chicken curry was good, but the accompanying greens had sand in it. I don't know if someone forgot to wash the greens before cooking or what. The meat patties (we got a chicken and a beef) had a mushy consistency that we weren't fond of. I'm not sure if this was authentic, but we've had better elsewhere. Overall, a 3.5 stars (which I rounded to 4). Food was good, they had scotch bonnet pepper sauce, and the place was cleaner than expected. There were a few missteps that made it less than perfect. I would put it in between Golden Krust and Mark's Caribbean Cuisine as far as ratings. read more

Oi! The jerk and fried chicken platters were great. The rice and peas were tasty. And I wished I ordered two more orders of the plantains. Go and see for yourself. Delicious and affordable! read more

every time i order it's always good, just make sure to call ahead since it's such a long wait time

Out looking for lunch today and came across Night Owl in Eustis and glad I did. Had the jerk chicken with collard greens, rice and peas. Best caribbean food I have had in a long time! Can't wait to try the oxtails next time. Great food, great price! read more

I keep going back to this place. I am in love with the Curry Goat dinner. I just called to order and they were closed. Now my heart is broken again. LOL The food is superb people. I might move closer as Umatilla is to far away. :) And I don't live in California, I don't know how that got there read more

the food is just as nasty as their attitudes. i ordered the large oxtail and couldn't wait to eat until i opened my box and saw 3 oxtail bones looking at me. i thought this was a large? i felt like this couldn't be true and surely the oxtail was hidden under the bed of rice. so i move the 2/3 on top over to the corner to search for my hidden treasures, and to my disappointment i didn't find any additional oxtails. i've worked in the food industry and im aware stuff happens like this all the time - perhaps they were waiting for more meat and bagged the order before checking - idk whatever the case may be, i was very understanding. i called the restaurant to make them aware and let them know i would like a replacement when i'm able to make my way over there again and they obliged but asked that i provide them a picture. So i opened my box and took a picture of the food i received after my treasure hunt and the owner called me back accusing me of scarfing the food down - bones included apparently and refused my replacement! since i wasn't getting anything else to eat i decided to eat what little was on my plate and this was easily the worst caribbean food i've ever had. the greens were dry and had an awful after taste. the oxtail was dry despite me asking for extra gravy and very very salty. overall an awful experience from the rude customer service to the sub-par caribbean cuisine. Thanks for this visit as it will definitely be my last. I will be happily taking my money to top class jamaican in orlando, at this point it's worth the drive. read more

Absoltely delicious jerked chicken. The homemade if mac&cheese, greens and beans were equally delicious. Very reasonable prices. A great family meal Covid takeout!! read more

The food is absolutely phenomenal!! Extremely authentic and the employees/ owners are so courteous. I will most definitely return for the great food and great service read more

So so good. Had the spicy jerk chicken with the gravy on top with a side of rice and beans/plantains. Really good flavor with everything, the chicken had a nice spice to it and a nice charred grilled taste. The jamaican hot sauce they have on the table is great too. Overall everything was way better than I expected, will definitely be back! read more

Yes! Finally good Caribbean good in the area! Had the brown stew chicken. Huge portions. Great taste. The only downside is the wait. read more

My husband and I stopped here for lunch today after church. We heard about it in a magazine and saw it had 4.5 stars on Yelp. The food was fantastic. My husband ordered the Rib sandwich which turned out to be 6 huge ribs with two slices of sweet bread on the side. He ordered the sweet and spicy sauce to be mixed and it was reaaallllly good. I ordered the Jerk Pork plate with the same mixture of sauce. Oh MY Gosh. I love collard greens and even make them myself but theirs were so sweet and cooked just right. Along with he collards it came with rice and peas, plantains and a salad. Even with my husband eating some of my collards, salad, plantains we could not eat it all. We brought home half of my lunch and two of his ribs. Definitely add this to your stop of restaurant choices. One thing to know...it was a bit of wait for our food but I love fresh cooked and it was totally worth the wait. The entire time we were there people were coming and going picking up orders to go so that must tell you something! read more

Place was clean, server very customer friendly, food is good loved everything we ordered, my only regret is we were in Eustis for a month and kept passing promising to stop in and didn't stop until the weekend before we left on Monday. read more
