    I came on my lunch break abt 3:30. I guess earlier lunch crowd wiped them out because they were out of so much. But I was able to get me some oxtails and curry chicken. It took a good min for it to be cooked and I was really the only sit down customer but I believe they had a lot of take out orders to make. Anyways, once the food came out it was well worth the wait. Meat was so tender and flavorful, cabbage was beautiful and cooked perfectly. Rice was awesome and those yams definitely were not from a can. Overall good experience and I would certainly go back. Only reason why I knocked down 1 star was because I couldn't see what their grade was, I don't know if I completely overlooked it but usually I would expect it right there in plain view behind a register.

    I expected more spent 139.00 on food for it to be nasty. Service was good they definitely had plenty of service but I was highly disappointed

    This is my FAVORITE Jamaican restaurant in Charlotte. I moved to Atlanta and make it a point to come here when I'm in town. It's my JAM! Authentic, flavorful and ridiculously delicious. Go here, NOW! Ambience: Last year they moved to larger location with booth seating, as well as counter seating. I LOVE the counter seating, you can watch the ched do his thing. The restaurant is clean, large and well lit. If you come in on Friday or Saturday you'll probably hear the owner jammin' along to the music. Great music btw. The good: THE FOOD!!!! Good Lawd it's good! I have never been disappointed with an order. Things to note: If you order anything seafood related or vegetarian, the cook time is about 30 minutes. The plates are plentiful. Tip: order to go, even for dining in. They stuff the containers. My go to is brown stew red snapper with rice and peas, cabbage and plantains. The snapper is a WHOLE FISH, head and all. My bf gets the curried veggies with rice and sweet potatoes. I have never had a bad meal here. Everything is flavorful, prepared well and plentiful. The bad: Sigh, the service. When they relocated they hired a lot of inexperienced employees. They need to take the time to properly train them. Ordering can be frustrating and time consuming. The wait for food can be long at times. Order in advance, even for dining in. All in all, it's a solid restaurant that is going through growing pains.

    We decided to try Quidley's since they were open until 9:00 p.m. We ordered ahead and went to pick it up. When we got there we saw quite a few people waiting for their food. My husband waited mostly outside since it was difficult to practice social distancing with the number of people waiting inside the restaurant for their food. We almost canceled the order since we were waiting at least a half hour for our order. Finally, we received it. We had the stewed chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. It was very good. My only complaint was that there was too much sauce and some of the chicken was tough, like it was overcooked. But overall it was very tasty and I would definitely consider returning. Next time I'd request that the food not be smothered in sauce. Hopefully they'll have a better system in place by then so we won't have to wait so long to receive our food.

    Food was Super Authentic and Delicious! Best Oxtail I've had since I moved here from NJ! The cabbage was super fresh with great flavor. The staff was very nice and welcoming...and the restaurant was very clean which is always a bonus! We will be back for sure!!!!

    I've eaten at a few Caribbean cuisine spots around Charlotte and I have to say this is the best I've eaten thus far. The restaurant is very clean and spacious and the service was good, but a little slow. The food was very flavorful and fresh. I was just a little saddened that they were out of Cocoa Bread... The food is cooked to order and is well worth the wait. The Brown Stew was so flavorful, I could've eaten/drank it by itself lol. The cabbage was also flavorful and still had a fresh crunch to it- it wasn't mushy at all. The plantains were also fresh as well. I will most certainly return here soon to eat and hope they have some cocoa bread next time :)

    I believe the chicken in this patty is not cooked all the way.

    Not good, a waste of money. Took 15 minutes to get this and ended up having chicken not cooked all grey an mushy. Do NOT recommend

    I hate doing this because, I've had so many good experiences. But yesterday was the last straw for me. We ordered 3 different plates, the rice was not cooked all the way(yes it was hard). The fish was super dry & had barely any flavor. I love supporting this restaurant, but the owner needs to do some revamping. It took almost 2 hours to get food that was awful.

    I have been contemplating eating here for quite some time, I'm very skeptical because finding good authentic Caribbean food is like looking for a needle in a haystack in Charlotte. This meal was as expected. The brown stew consisted of 4 hunks of overcooked meat (not fresh) brown sauce and a piece of potatoe.. no veggies in the stew at all. I'm very disappointed with the effort they put in this dish. Definitely will not return. Mama Caribbean's is the best spot if you're looking for real Carribean food in Charlotte.

The crust was good, very crisp and the pizza is light with a little crisp to the dough, definitely not soggy. I had the French onion soup.... Unimpressed. I may be a French onion snob as I've been lucky to travel around the country and tried numerous soups (including in France). This was very average, I like the bread to be a little crispy, this was soggy, and the cheese, once I pushed into the soup. It all kind of gelled together. Like you can't get bites with other parts of the soup. I was literally using my knife to try and cut it apart so I could eat it in pieces and not one huge chunk. But it became too tedious and eventually I had to eat the cheese all together. I really liked the chicken wings, cooked well, I really enjoyed the bbq sauce. The wings are by far my favorite. As I have to come here multiple times a year to visit our office. I'm sure I'll try more food. For a hotel restaurant, it's pretty good.

The service was incredible from the moment we walked in. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure our drinks were always filled and that everything came out just right. You could tell the staff really cared about making sure guests had a great experience. That level of hospitality always stands out and made the visit even better. We started things off with the Choose 3 appetizer, and it was the perfect way to kick off the meal. We ordered the spinach dip, Wisconsin cheese bites, and queso, and every single one of them was delicious. The spinach dip was creamy and full of flavor, the Wisconsin cheese bites were perfectly crispy, and the queso was the kind you keep dipping into even when you tell yourself you're done. For the main meal, there was something for everyone. The kids chicken strips were a hit and came out hot and crispy. I ordered the country fried steak, and it was exactly what you want from comfort food. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and covered in rich gravy. We also ordered the pasta, which was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The restaurant had a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, which made it easy to sit back and enjoy the meal together.

Unfortunately, it was cold and tasted like it came straight out of the bag. After a couple of bites, I ended up removing the bun and finishing my burger with a fork. Three of us ordered burgers, and each of our buns was cold. I highly suggest Cheddar's start toasting their buns -- that simple step would easily take their burgers to a perfect 5/5! My sisters enjoyed their food. One ordered the shrimp pasta and the other, steak and shrimp with a baked potato. Now, she initially didn't receive the bacon bits on her baked potato, but Blake quickly corrected it, so all was well. Overall, this was a solid lunch experience with great service. With just a small improvement to the burger buns, it could easily be outstanding!
