The food and service were great, and the owner was very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

I know it's been some time, but my fellow foodies... I went to Harlem today and stopped by Patrick's on the Hill, and baby, let me tell you! Now, you already know I'm always going where the food is good, and when I tell you if you're looking for some good Caribbean food, no need to look any further! This place GOT IT! For appetizers, we had the cod fritters, and they were delicious! For the kiddies, we ordered chicken tenders and fries -- and yes, I definitely tried one of those tenders too. Shhhh! Then came the oxtails, peas and rice, cabbage, and mixed vegetables. Everything was GOOD! Now, everybody likes things cooked differently, so for me personally, I wish the cabbage had been cooked just a little longer. But did I still eat it? Absolutely! Because once I mixed everything together, BABY... it slapped! Another dish we ordered was the pineapple jerk salmon with cabbage, mixed vegetables, and garlic mashed bananas. Now let me just say this... I have NEVER had garlic mashed bananas before, but hands down, I wish I knew how to make them because they were SO GOOD! And that salmon? Chileeee! That jerk was NOT playing! It definitely had a kick to it, but it was packed with flavor. Lastly, we had the beef stew with peas and rice, and once again, everything was delicious! But it wasn't just the food that impressed me. The service was excellent, the restaurant was so clean, parking wasn't difficult to find, and the staff was incredibly pleasant. And here's something else I found out: Friday and Saturday nights they play JAZZ! Now, I don't know about y'all, but I LOVE me a good jazz spot! Add some good food, drinks, and live jazz? Yeah... I'm there! They also have a liquor selection, and there was a nice variety to choose from. This is definitely a spot I'll be going back to -- good food, good drinks, good vibes, and some jazz tunes? COUNT ME IN! And I absolutely LOVE supporting a Black-owned business. So if you're ever in Harlem and looking to try somewhere new, stop by Patrick's on the Hill and show them some love! Tell me... have you been yet? read more

So this restaurant is not the place to go if you're in a rush or have other appointments, because baby you gonna WAIT! It was a Sunday, and we were a group, no one else were in the restaurant but us and we still waited almost an hour. If it hadn't been for someone asking, we wouldn't have gotten any complimentary bread. We only got it because a friend said give us something if you gonna have us wait like this. We were hungry!! Now, outside of the wait, the food was good. This place isn't budget-friendly each plate is around $25 to $30, so keep that in mind. I'd honestly say skip the appetizers. The zucchini fries were just okay, and the other apps were aiight but not worth the money. Stick to the entrées; the oxtail was delicious, and so was the mac & cheese. Everyone enjoyed their food! Another friend had the avocado salad with shrimp, and they liked it too. They also enjoyed their drinks. I had the Miss T drink and it was okay, not bad, but for the price, it wasn't all that. It was more like juice than a drink drink. I highly recommend the oxtail and the salmon. Would I go back? Absolutely but on a day when I'm not rushing, and just got paid. The service itself was good our waitress, Deja, was very patient and attentive. The restaurant also has a nice open layout with plenty of space. The only downside is the wait for the food. read more

This is a wonderful restaurant. The drinks were great. The food was delicious. We had the Shrimps, Oxtail, Red Snapper, Jerk Wings and Cod Fish Cakes. I wish i could have eaten more. Staff were friendly and courteous. Live Jazz music was perfect for the evening atmosphere. Also on the last Saturday of each month they have live Reggae music. read more

this place is a hidden gem! The food is so delicious, customer service amazing, 10 out of 10 plus 10. The drink was made beautifully! As soon as you walked in the bartender was so inviting and very kind! I could almost kiss the chef the way he made my meal. The waiter Antonio was sweet as well! The overall ambiance is welcoming and laidback. I will definitely be coming back! My friend is also very hard to please and he equally enjoyed his food. To reiterate I will definitely be coming back!! :) read more

Good Jamaican food isn't hard to come by in Harlem, but I wouldn't place Patrick's near the top of that list. We started with the OMG Wings and asked for all three sauces Jerk, BBQ, and Sweet & Sour mixed together. The sauce itself was pleasantly sweet, though not very spicy, but the chicken was unfortunately quite dry. For our entrées, we ordered the Rasta Pasta with shrimp and the Brown Stew Chicken. The Rasta Pasta was tasty, but it leaned more toward vegetables in a béchamel sauce and definitely lacked jerk seasoning. The shrimp, however, was cooked perfectly. The Brown Stew Chicken was another letdown: while the flavor was good, the chicken was again very dry, and there wasn't enough sauce to moisten the rice and peas. The rice and peas themselves were also lacking in flavor. Overall, I expected more at this price point especially with how expensive dining out has become. read more

I went with my boyfriend the other weekend to Patrick's On The Hill and I'm happy to have gotten to try the food! It was my first time trying oxtail and I'm in love lol! And the sweet plantain made my heart so happy! Jerk chicken was good too with a nice spice. Great macaroni and cheese also. The manager/owner Patrick was kind and attentive. I also really appreciated our server Antonio who had a good energy and gave us great recommendations with the menu. Inside is nice, with spacious tables and a nice rustic decor. Apparently they have music events so I hope to attend those in the future! Definitely stop by for yummy food and a nice relaxed experience:) read more

GREAT time during Restaurant Week. I had a lovely server and she made a great rum punch. I normally get oxtail or curry goat at Caribbean restaurants but I liked the sides better with the brown stewed chicken from the restaurant week menu. Everything was honestly reallyyyy good. I will absolutely be back to try more! read more

I was not enthused. Try it for yourself and see if you like it. I noticed that the cooks were unprofessional by smoking outside before serving food. BAD look for this place. Service was very good and friendly. The food is about a 4-5 out 10, with 10 being the highest. Too much sauce on the chicken, like it was drowning. The oxtails were missing meat. Seriously...just like scarce. The dessert was good and moist! I would not revisit, though. read more

I'll keep this short: The owner was extremely rude, and it was honestly the worst interaction I've ever had with a restaurant owner. The service was also very slow. My friend and I waited over 30 minutes for an appetizer of six wingettes that weren't even good. We ended up leaving before our entrées came, though we still paid for our lemonades and the appetizer. We were the only customers, TWO OF US, in the restaurant, which made the slow service even more surprising. read more

The kitchen has a problem - you cant sell jerk chicken and the chicken consists of chicken wings. All of the food took 40 minutes to show up lukewarm. Looks like they are missing a professional in the kitchen. Don't count on the announced music - 90 minutes late and counting. read more

I got a sandwich here a few weeks ago, the menu said $18. They charged me $20 plus a credit card fee that was not disclosed on the menu anywhere. I told them they have to charge what's on the menu and they can't just change prices and tack on fees. They could not figure out how to change it. I wrote void on the charge and paid cash. The charge went through anyway and I had to dispute it with my card company (which they refunded immediately since I had photos). The sandwich was tasty, but this shady business practice is entirely unacceptable. read more

We ordered white rice, oxtail and plantains. The oxtail was super tender fell off the bone. Seasoned perfectly! The island music sets the vibe. super cute place. I'm Patrick was in the house and welcomed us warmly! I highly recommend! read more

I thought they did a great job. Service was great and the food was excellent. The oxtail was stewed to perfection not gamey. Would definitely go back. read more

I have come here twice and both times were pleasant. I came last week for happy hour on Friday. Then I came gain this past Friday for dinner. When I came for dinner this past Friday it was a different experience. First our waiter was very busy so the service was slow. Then the food took a very long time. I wanted to leave but my friend said we already ordered. They do give complimentary bread which is quite good. Now we ordered appetizers and entrees. The appetizers were alright. The beef Pattie's were cold but we were hungry so we ate them. The appetizer platter we ordered was ok and my favorite part were the fried shrimps. I did not like the chicken wings, the sauce had an overwhelming taste of a spice which I could not identify. The entrees were ok as well. I ordered the stewed chicken with macaroni and cheese and cabbage. They did not bring out the cabbage and instead gave me rice and peas and macaroni and cheese. When I told the manager he brought out the cabbage. The cabbage was overcooked and not tasty at all. I am glad he made the mistake because the rice and peas were good. When we spoke to the manager he told us there were some unforeseen circumstances. He came to check on our table quite frequently. I do appreciate that the manager offered drinks on the house. The owners were also there and apologized for the delay. They opened just two weeks ago and I understand things can happen. So I will definitely go back and give it another try. I plan to go back for happy hour which has half off appetizers and cocktails. The place has a nice open space and the music playing was nice. I would say you should definitely check it out. read more

Food was great. Good sized portions. Had the Oxtails with Mac n cheese and steamed cabbage and mixed vegetables. Service was a little bit slow due to only having one server (he was the bartender and waiter). But he did great nonetheless. Would I come back? Sure. read more

We love driving from Long Island to enjoy the vibrant live music, jamaican food, and delightful drinks at Patrick's other location. Last night was our first experience at Patrick's on the Hill was truly unforgettable! The atmosphere was lively, the menu exceeded our expectations, and the service was great!! We can't wait to return and will continue to support both locations! read more

Save your money!!!! Waited an hour to be served cold appetizers ( salmon bites and fried shrimp). Then was served old, cold fish! Never again! read more

Welcome to the neighborhood Patrick's on the Hill! I came by on a Friday evening after work excited to try your place for the first time. The ambiance was nice, dim lighting, low playing classic r&b and reggae music and not too busy of a crowd - it was a very chill low key vibe. Overall there were some things I liked and a few areas that could be improved. I liked that the wait staff, managers/owners were pleasant, attentive and accommodating. This goes a long way and matters to patrons so excellent job on making me feel welcome. Areas to work on are speed, food portion size and preparation. I waited close to an hour for chicken wings, brussels sprouts, rice and peas which is too long and the place wasn't crowded (maybe 8-12 patrons). Especially when I noticed someone else who walked in after me being served ahead of me - not good! This patron pays attention to things like that and it can make me think twice about coming back again. You did offer warm white bread with seasoning on it while I waited which curbed my appetite but it was a little underwhelming. Since this is a Jamaican restaurant some mini version of coco bread was more of what I was expecting when offered "warm bread"- this might be something for you to consider in the future. Once the food arrived the wings and the sprouts were hot and delicious but the rice and peas was subpar. The rice and peas portion was way too small, it tasted crunchy (as in not fresh), the flavor was bland and its temperature was noticeably cooler than the rest of the meal. One of the owners Patrick personally got me a new order of rice and peas within minutes and it was hot and tender but the flavor was still bland! You also offered me a second ginger beer free of charge. Both accommodating gestures made up for the shortcomings. As someone who has lived in the neighborhood for years - I want to see you succeed - which is why I'm giving 4 stars and not 3! We love having varied restaurant options close to home but the competition is stiff and you've got to make us want you! There are at least 2-3 other Jamaican restaurants in the area who may not offer the dine in option but their food is good and the portions are bigger for less money. I spent over $65 and didn't even have a cocktail so you gotta give me a reason to come back. I don't mind spending money for excellent food - increase that rice and peas portion size and make sure it's hot and fresh, and do something to give it more flavor. Also reconsider that warm white bread for some mini coco bread and work on your wait time - almost an hour to wait for a meal is unacceptable. I'll definitely come back because I want to try your oxtails but I'm going to need to be wowed! Good luck to you! read more

Good food and nice small restaurant. I would not go back during Brunch time there was only one server doing everything so service was very slow. I also did not like the fish fritter it was very salty and no amount of sauce could make it tasty and enjoyable. read more

what a great find and it was amazing meeting patrick as well! definitely will be back dying to try the food. the music and drinks and company and staff were GREAT!!! read more

I've had dinner here twice and loved it! The food was great. The Jamaican 'Peppa' Shrimp appetizer was delicious although it's spicy so not for the faint of heart! The Pineapple Jerk Salmon was also tasty. The staff was friendly and efficient. I will definitely be back! read more

We had been waiting for a replacement in the space formerly occupied by favorite THE GRANGE to appear and after some soft openings, PATRICK's ON THE HILL (A correction needs to be made to their listing here on Yelp for the correct name!) is beginning to gain some steam. We had heard only mixed reviews from others for their first couple of weeks and decided to try for ourselves. We are delighted to report, "PATRICK'S" is going to be a hit - once discovered by locals. Their space remains basically that of THE GRANGE, which really is a plus as the GRANGE interiors have always been favored (and they have eliminated the sticky table tops that plagued the GRANGE), but that's where the similarity ends. After being enthusiastically greeted by Brandon, PATRICK's offers delicious Jamaican fare - and while their initial menu is somewhat limited, what we tried was absolutely fulfilling. I started with their bite-sized Jamaican beef patties, the slightly spiced filling very satisfying. They came out hot with a nice flaky crust. For entrees I opted for the Brown Stew Chicken which was as rich & flavorful as the menu promised. My partner, a huge salmon fan, was won over by the Pineapple Jerk Salmon. We both enjoyed the steamed cabbage and mixed veggie side (2 offered per entree) and the house salad was fresh with a delicate dressing. Her roasted brussel sprouts were also a nice addition. Drink pours were significant - always a plus and the very attentive service from Nelly was spot on. We're already looking forward to our next visit! read more
