Jerk Chicken Plantain Rice and Peas
Cheryl V.

I see all of the previous rave reviews, so maybe it was just an off day. I stopped in Ramouns Kitchen for the first time today and was very underwhelmed. I am giving them two stars strictly for the excellent customer service and convenient location. However, the food did not please my taste buds. The jerk chicken seemed like it could have been great, but the sauce was somewhere between sweet and trying to be spicy? The 3 plantains I received were extremely dry, which made me think they had been sitting for a while. As for the rice and peas, simply put they were not good. I was excited to have a Caribbean spot around the corner, but I doubt I will be back. Much better options a little further out.

Re-fried my fries because it was cold, instead of making fresh ones (my husband ate some)

Took about 30 minutes to get our order. After about 20 minutes of waiting I asked how long and they said it was coming out soon. I said okay just please make sure it at least comes out hot. It came out about 10 minutes later and the fries were cold and tasted like they were fried in old oil, so I sent it back. Instead of them making a fresh batch, they took my old fries and refried them. (My husband some ate them cause he not as picky as me but still complained that they tasted super oily). His jerk chicken platter wasn't that good either. It just tasted like grilled chicken with bbq sauce on top. Unfortunately I will not be eating here again.

Tasty, tasty, tasty!! The Jamaican spot, short of being opened for just a year, is what the area needed. Every dish is well-seasoned and one of the most authentic in the MD area. From the brown stew chicken, the curry chicken, the oxtails, allllll delicious and savory! The Mac and cheese has to be theeee best! Chef Ramoun is the most humble, kindest yet talented chefs around. He gave up a complimentary dessert which was amazing....sort of like a warm sweet cake topped with a drizzle of caramel sauce! A perfect location in Bowie, the bite sized restaurant is cute and quaint. There's room at the bar or a few tables for dinning in. The entire staff are inviting and their prices are absolutely reasonable!

Ambiance: it's not a fancy restaurant, very homey inside with the booth and chair seating. The average table holds 4 people. Service: service is a bit on the slow side but we went for Sunday lunch so no need for a big rush I guess but if you have somewhere to go after then take that into consideration. Food: I got the plantain cups with the shrimp and those were delicious. I could have done two plates of that haha. I also got the salt fish fritters and those were ok. I think they were a lot denser than I expected and I make them differently so I was expecting a slightly different taste but not bad at all. I do wish that they had the bread pudding dessert that was on the menu because I wanted to try that but they didn't have it. All in all a good experience food wise and I also ordered a meal separately to go but I haven't tried it yet to let you know how it is .

This used to be Island Fin Poke. RIP!!! But I love what they did with the space. I have been eyeing it ever since it opened and I finally made it out! The new benches are nice, the reggae is blasting, and the far wall is a beautiful photo op! There's a sign right as you walk in that lists all of the entrees and sides. There's also a menu right at the register. I decided to go for something a little different... sweet chili chicken with rice & peas and cabbage. There was a whole cake also staring at me, and I found out it was carrot... I got a slice of that too. As I ordered, I noticed the big fridge of drinks, and shelves with beer and wine on them. Didn't get an idea of how much the beer and wine were, but I thought that was cool! I peeped a few Linganore bottles. I was also asked whether I wanted my food for there or to go -- love that option that encourages you to dine in! My order arrived in about 10-15 minutes, and I was on my way. I LOVED the chicken. I LOVED the cabbage. Now, i didn't love the rice & peas. I didn't find it being as flavorful and enjoyable as the other parts of my dish. All that to say -- I want to come back and try some patties and their jerk. I will be back!

Jerk chicken lunch specials (one w/veggies & one w/plantain)

Food is pretty good. Happy to have another Jamaican location close to home. This is the most authentic jerk in this local vicinity. Patties weren't bad, filling was delicious. Filling was sufficient for me, but they aren't stuffed full to exploding like others may prefer. It was Lent-haven't tried the beef ones yet. Overall, I am sold and will be a constant customer. I have only gotten food to go. The first time I happened to notice it was open and ran in to grab, lunch specials. The wait was not what I anticipated. Hence, this order was placed online and I was able to walk in and walk out. I would like to sit and dine one day as the restaurant is set up nicely. The lady at the front desk (I MUST get her name-as this will be one of my regular spots) is nice and friendly! Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Ramoun's Kitchen Menu - doesn't show desserts (Carrot cake; Rum Cake and Black Cake), nor the soups which change daily.

I still enjoy the food here, particularly the oxtails, festival, and my daughter likes the jerk chicken. I ordered the curry chickpeas and potatoes for the first time tonight, and the black cake. The chickpeas & potatoes with the roti was simply amazing. Once again I'm a happy camper with my food tonight and my family was happy as well.

OMG! Well done for your first night. Somebody put their foot in this Jamaican food. Not too spicy! I also had a a jerk patty which was so good (Spicy) too. Welcome to the neighborhood. I am sure you will be well received. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars because it took a long time to prepare the food. Otherwise the food was scrumptious.

It's pretty good, but not as spicy as I'd like. I will try it again, maybe trying something other than jerk.

After trying to get ideas on their website, Alexis reached out to me directly and sent me sample pictures of the tower design. She was so friendly and extremely helpful. She definitely left my mind at ease with her warm personality. Not only was the donut tower GORGEOUS but it was also delicious. The flavors I chose were the strawberry crunch, banana pudding, fruity pebbles and the Oreo. These were all delicious! All my guest and I were very impressed with everything. I am so thankful to Alexis and her team! I will recommend this place to everyone I know for every occasion, even just a sweet tooth. And ofcourse I will be going back :)

I placed my order over the phone, followed up through email, and the entire process was pretty easy. I will admit I was a little nervous there was a slight delay in email response time. But the cake was ready at the agreed upon time and turned out great, and overall, I had no complaints. I did think it was a little expensive, but honestly, what isn't these days? I would definitely consider ordering from them again for another special occasion.

Think Cheesecake recently did 5 Cheesecakes for my family. We selected the original, key lime,…read morebourbon, lemon pound and lastly the peanut butter. The cheesecakes were delicious! They were creamy and while not quite as dense as a NY cheesecake, they were firm and creamy goodness with each delicate bite. None of the flavors overpowered the authenticity of cheesecake, yet you could taste each distinctive flavor. These cheesecakes are also not as sweet as many of the traditional ones from restaurants. My family couldn't decide on one favorite cheesecake. So I guess I'll need to order them all in the future. The peanut butter was incredible, but I really like PB. My daughter's favorite was the key lime and my sister loved the lemon pound cheesecake (no pound cake is actually in it, it's cheesecake). The kids really loved the original and several of the adults seemed to enjoy the bourbon. You could definitely taste the bourbon in the crust and the pie. The crust was enjoyable and I wanted more, especially on the PB cheesecake. I'll see if he can make mine a little thicker next time. Overall, the cheesecakes were a hit and I'll definitely be ordering again from Think Cheesecake! If you want to try and don't have a large family to help you, you can't go wrong with the original. It's truly a creamy, flavorful and decadent dessert, and you can always add strawberries or the fruit of choice. I took pictures but can't locate them on my phone. Sorry folks. The owner Michael provided professional, and friendly service. And the establishment was spotless! Thank you!

There were a few options on the menu, so Michael came around to tell me a bit more about each one and help me narrow things down. I went for the sweet potato and it was so good! The crust alone was probably the best I've ever had! Before making my way over to the table, I overheard 2 separate people say that Think Cheesecake was better than Cheesecake Factory. They weren't lying. Amazing customer service. Amazing cheesecake.

So literally, I just got home from Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, and I went there on happenstance after…read moremy sewing class because I was so close to Sonic. We do not have one where I live, so I naturally get excited every time I'm near one, and I make it my mission to stop and get a slushie. I traditionally get the lemon slush or the lime slush. But unbeknownst to me, Sonic redid their menu. Since there isn't one close to my house, I had to update the app and sign back in. Then I tried to order my usual drink, but because it had been more than 90 days since my last visit, my previous order was gone. So I started looking through the menu, only to realize the lemon frozen slush and the lime frozen slush were no longer there. I literally spent over 30 minutes sitting in the Sonic stall scrolling through the app because you have to order through it to get the half-price slushes. Now they have these new slushes with some type of tea concentrate, and I already know I don't like green tea. I didn't want to risk paying for something I probably wouldn't enjoy, especially since there wasn't an option to sample it. So I opened my Maps app to see what was nearby. That's when I noticed that a young lady I'd been following on Instagram had her Italian ice shop close by. I thought, "Oh my goodness!" It was less than a mile away, so I drove over to Killa Italian Ice & Smoothie and picked up some lemonade and a slice of cake. After that, I thought, "Let me see what other small businesses I can support while I'm over here." I wasn't really interested in any of the other food options because they were things I could already get in Woodbridge. So I searched for bakeries and found Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, just a short drive away. I walked in, and to my surprise, they had a full restaurant menu in addition to their baked goods. Let me tell you, these people were so amazingly welcoming the moment I walked in. "Hey, sis!" "Hi, welcome!" I immediately felt at home, and I honestly haven't felt that way in an establishment in a very long time. I ended up telling the young lady behind the register about my whole Sonic adventure, and she said, "Well, let me let you try my chicken curry salad." Now, I didn't have the heart to tell her that I don't like chicken salad, so I said, "Okay." Let me tell you...that chicken curry salad was banging. I was like, "Oh wow. This is good." As we kept talking, I looked over the menu and realized I didn't want my usual comfort foods like pizza, collard greens, or macaroni. I wanted to try something different. So I ordered their Chicken with Attitude with rice and cabbage. The chicken had a Middle Eastern rustic flavor. It was roasted, incredibly tender, and unlike anything I'd had before. It's definitely a different taste and probably an acquired one, but I really enjoyed it. Although I'd only had that sample of the chicken curry salad, it was so good that I ordered half a pound of it to take home, along with a piece of pound cake. Like I said at the beginning, I DO NOT EAT chicken salad, but it completely surprised me. But beyond the food, they brought me a complimentary lemonade while I was sitting there eating. It tasted so fresh, like freshly squeezed lemon with other fresh fruit over ice. It was absolutely delicious and refreshing. Everywhere throughout the restaurant were little signs about genuine kindness. The whole place just felt welcoming. Being from Alabama, I grew up with Southern hospitality. You make eye contact, greet people, and make them feel at home. That's not meant to discredit businesses in DC, Maryland, or Virginia. This area is a melting pot of people from all over the world, and culturally, not everyone expresses hospitality the same way. But when I walked into Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, every single person embodied that welcoming spirit. It wasn't just one employee. It was the people behind the counter, the people coming out of the kitchen, and even those arriving for work. I just remember thinking, "Wow." I felt safe. I felt welcomed. I felt wanted. I felt at home. I felt like family. More than the food, I felt like I had found my tribe. I found my village. I honestly wish I lived closer because, if I did, I'd probably be there every day. Since moving to this area in 2009, that's the feeling I've been missing. If I could recommend Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes a million times over, it wouldn't just be because of the food. It would be because of the sense of belonging. It's that feeling of walking into a place where everybody knows your name, even when they don't. If you're going through something, this is the place to go. Not just to feed your belly, but to feed your soul.

The service was amazing. Very friendly and they offered lots of information about their choices…read more There is seating inside but when I went there was no AC so it was super hot inside. They had fans going to def too hot to stay. I would say everything I ordered was okay. So it's worth stopping if it's convenient but not enough to go too far out the of your way. I got jerk wings (but there was hardly any seasoning on them), peach cobbler (was mostly just peaches that tasted canned), cookies and cream cheesecake, and glazed pound cake.
