    Curry Special
    Yohanna L.

    Best food I've had in Jax. Highly recommend!! I heard about this restaurant through a friend who lives in the area and knows I love eating like a local. She was raving about it and I'm so glad I went! My husband was hooked and made me promise to go back every time we're in town. Go see for yourself!

    Beef patty and carrot juice

    I'm hungry and I have no clue what I want. This rarely happens (side eye). Just left a community engagement meeting on the Northside (way north) and the bubble guts were getting loud. Then I noticed this place was still saved in bookmarks with varying reviews and no pics. :-/ #$%# it - I can grab a quick snack then get a real meal later. I get off the highway and immediately feel a little sketchy about the area. Nothing really seems open even though it's after noon on a Saturday? Then I see the line! There's a line of patrons waiting at this small walk up take out stand! I park as tightly as I can and shuffle around some folks to peak at the menu. I was hoping for calallo & salt fish or ackee - but instead I see shrimp scampi? So this place has the bootleg Queens/Brooklyn vibe. Looked like several mothers were cooking away in the kitchen. Don't except smiles and warm welcomes. Place your order, pay, and step to the side and wait. Depending on what you order. That wait can get pretty long. (First time my patty took at least 10 minutes. But it's so good I couldn't complain - just go in with proper expectations.) There's a small outside patio for those that can't wait the drive/walk home to eat. But most take the food and run. As I'm waiting I notice a super tall built dude that walked out in a dockyard navy blue out fit that said "SECURITY"? Dude really? Me love: curry goat, beef patties(spiced nice), and carrot juice (so sweet). Be ready for all types of goodness. It's inexpensive and portions are huge. Spit fyah and a cuss: limited menu and no true vegetarian options - and no fish This small walk up has been a staple for the area for over 30 years so I don't see them going anywhere for a long time. Keep supporting local business.

    No Flavor -_-

    Ordered the curry chicken with rice. That is literally what you get. Not even potato with the chicken. Rice was hard as if it was old. Food didn't really have flavor making it bland. Fruit Punch was amazing though. If your fine with rice, some gravy and a few pieces of chicken then don't let my review stop you. Won't be back unless I just want some of that Punch!

    This place has been around for years but the food is not the greatest, I had the worst watered down nastiest lack of flavor curry chicken ever & the beef patty tasted like straight cardboard like it had been sitting on the shelf for decades. If you want good jamaican food in jacksonville check out spices or caribbean sunrise bakery. Dont go to this place.

    Had a taste for curry chicken. Stop by here. They went up on they prices. Curry chicken is $7. It was ok but it wasn't seasoned.They usually have the gravy thicker but it wasn't this time.The. fruit punch is so good. I went thru the drive thru.The lady was friendly and joking around. They sale oxtails on weekends.

    Curry chicken "extra gravy"...

    Yum!!! You want to taste the island? Come here, I promise, you will feel transported to Jamaica…read morewith the first bite! I came in straight from work, got 1 plate of jerk chicken and some Pattie's.... Wound up taking another plate home so the family could enjoy as well. The jerk chicken is so tender and perfectly seasoned and chargrilled. The restaurant is got an island vibe with some island music playing in the background (not to loud, but just enough to finish the vibe of being transported with every bite. I swear... if this place was beachfront or like it's own standing building with an outdoor tropical place... you would definitely think you got transported. It's super clean including the bathrooms. The owner is filled with joy everytime I saw someone walk in/leave. My server was Lucy (she's also a bartender there), if you go.. ask for Lucy (she work the later part of the week), tell her Trisha recommended her With the quality of food, the cleanliness of the restaurant, the amazing service that I received today... this place is going to be a neighborhood favorite without a doubt!

    Ordered an Oxtail platter, brown stew chicken, plantains & a beef patty, the only thing that was…read moretruly edible was the plantains. The beef patty was badly burned and the oxtail and brown chicken smelled spoiled as if they had let the food sit out for longer than it should and then heated it up and served it the smell and taste was overwhelming so as I took a closer look I saw white spots on the oxtail that looked as if mold may have began growing. not to mention the flavor was not there at all and overall I just would not recommend this place

    I dropped in here for lunch today. I was greeted right away (it is unusual to be greeted in a…read morefriendly way in Jamaica restaurants normally LOL) and given a menu--and I already knew I wanted a lunch special with jerk chicken, based on the web site. There was island music playing in the background to set the vibe, along with a map of the Caribbean at every table. My jerk chicken came out quickly and was delicious. The plantains were the perfect consistency, which is important to me because some places dry them out. I asked for a side of pepper sauce and it's quite hot, so consider yourself warned! While I was dining, the owner, Peter, came over and was chatting with the patrons. The ladies at the next table clearly knew him well, and I love that there are local relationships at the restaurant. It was fascinating hearing about his transition from the finance industry in Trinidad to being a restaurant entrepreneur! I only wish I had had had space to try the rum cake. It would be a joy to come back to Irie Diner and support a local business!

    Stumbled across this delicious restaurant on my lunch break and when I say, I am coming back for…read morebreakfast and dinner you need to make sure you're there as well. Great service from the staff and felt very welcomed as if I was vacation to the islands. I ordered the brown STEW chicken bowl for lunch and he came with rice and beans and I chose cabbage. Everything was delicious. Very authentic taste and I completed my entire bowl. The inside was very nice. There's a bar area and a lot of seating.
