(3.5!) To start, the restaurant has rebranded as it's no longer 'Richie Rich'. It's now know as 'Good Vibes Caribbean Cuisine'. The place is small, with only three tables to sit. My food was good but I ended up getting a medium order, unaware of what sizes there were, causing me to spend $25. It was worth the price since the food was good, but it wasn't entirely what I wanted. I wanted Mac & cheese, they didn't have, so I decided on potato salad--they didn't have that either. I'm assuming that maybe it was near closing time that the options were limited. Another thing was there was no menu, so I really wasn't sure what they had as I'm not too familiar with Jamaican Caribbean food. I had to find the menu online. They did get a lot of delivery. Besides this, it was a good quick place to get a decent meal. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but if I'm hungry and in the area, I'd go again. read more

The only thing I enjoyed was the cabbage which is SAD. Wasted $22 on this. Curry goat is so salty.. like did the chef taste the food? Curry goat also was tough. Rice was dry. Mac and cheese had zero flavor. I went early in the day to try and get everything fresh to give it an honest chance. SUPER OVERPRICED AND would never come again. read more

Since about a year ago they changed the name for Richie Rich too Good vibes but whenever I'm checking out mom and I'm on Boston road I usually stop in and get something to eat and they open all night long read more

Not only was the curry chicken the driest I've ever had. I also ordered brown stew chicken only to discover a top of some sort mixed in my food (in above picture). When I called to let them know what I discovered they nonchalantly said "a lid must've fallen in."They are not what they used to be both taste and hygiene wise. Eat here at your own risk! read more

We came by the other day and the place looked dead- drink fridge was empty, no rice and pea and the oxtail looked tiny and pitiful. What an end to an era. Guys, we're moving on to Fish n Ting now. read more

I ordered oxtails with rice and peas. Richie isn't the same since the expansion, lol. They used to be top-tier years ago when they first opened up, but slowly have fallen off. The food portions were good, I'll give them that. I definitely asked them to pile a lot on and they did. The oxtail was good and had a decent amount, I enjoyed it for the most part. The food however was very oily and it left me with crazy heartburn the next day. I can't say it was the BEST I've had from there, it was DECENT. It's been way better. Y'all owe me a pepto-bismal next visit. read more

Ordered the brown stew snapper at an almost whopping $25. These inept people had the nerve to send me the much cheaper brown stew chicken and when I called, the excuse was, "I didn't see it (the order) good." What do you mean? That was a very sorry response. No one wants brown stew chicken. If we did, that's what would have been ordered. And the very nonchalant attitude sucks for something they did wrong. Thank goodness for reviews. read more

Richie Rich Carribean - The wrong food. Does this look like brown stew fish to you?? This is brown stew chicken and NOT what I ordered. - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

For me the chicken soup is amazing. But if I'm being quite frank the place has fallen off. Service is just okay and the food isn't like it used it. I feel like it's over priced now. read more

I stopped by the Richie Rich restaurant on Fish Ave, I don't mind the price. I ordered fried chicken and rice & peas, and the young that was making my food was having a whole conversation, on the phone while she was making my food. You can tell these people did not take food protection because that is one of the main things they talked about in class. read more

Audacity is at an all time high at this restaurant! Why would I be charged a $1 for jerk sauce...when jerk sauce solely exist for jerk chicken or jerk pork! The staff are rude, the service is slow, and all of the hidden charges without notice is ridiculous! They don't charge for no other gravy besides oxtail gravy which is fine...but this charge is disgusting. I didn't ask for extra sauce, just regular jerk sauce so the chicken is not dry. So over them! read more

I used to love coming here the food was amazing and it was always served in an orderly fashion. Last time my boyfriend ordered from here it took 30 mins for two plates one was oxtails and one of curry chicken. By the time he drove home (35min) drive and opened the order there was no oxtails. He called them went back down to the Bronx got the oxtails and instead of apologizing they acted like it was his fault. How you order a LARGE oxtails and there's no oxtails? Also there oxtails the flavor was off. Idk what's going on but we were so disappointed read more

I couldn't believe my eyes, when I ordered two small orders of fried chicken and rice. The server gave each order one drumstick and a plate full of rice! Not even a drumstick and thigh. The worst part was the price that they charge at the end! 18 dollars?!!!! Like are you people insane? Not to mention the food taste as if it's been sitting there all day! I will not be returning to this restaurant. I'll advise you all to spend your hard earn money elsewhere. They obviously only care about their pockets. It's restaurants like this that gives others just like it a terrible name! read more

Their food is always delicious!! Especially their oxtails and curry chicken with rice and peas. I also love that they are open 24hrs. The only problem is the workers always have a nasty attitude and there is no parking other then street parking which can get very busy especially if you double park. read more

I've been ordering from here a lot. The jerk chicken Jericho Sims spot on. The vegetables, I don't know why... But they always cook it so well. The mac n cheese needs a bit more cheese. I like it cheeseeeyyyyyyy! read more

Long time fan of Richie Rich, but had since moved. I'm on the hunt for the best stew chicken in the area and this place would be at the bottom. I had high expectations for Richie Rich as many years ago I had always loved their curry chicken, jerk chicken, and oxtails. The stew chicken tasted like it has been drenched in ketchup, it was also so dry! The young lady out the counter was more into her phone than taking my money. The two stars are because believe it or not the rice and peas were okay. I can't believe they don't offer veggies in the meal, and if I they do, I sure did not get any. I probably won't return and keep on with the hunt. Maybe their other location will be better. read more

Terrible service and the food was just Okay. they told me they only take reservations. We happen to just stop by to check out the menu the place was empty read more

Came here to feed a craving for Ackee & Saltfish. Arrived around 11:30 and breakfast was still being served. I got the Ackee & Slatfish with green banana and a side of dumplings (4). I ordered the food in a medium and it's safe to say it could be shared between two people, so the $12 charge is totally worth it for the portion given. The food was fresh & well seasoned, but it was dumplings I couldn't get enough of! They were nothing short of AMAZING. Crisp & fried golden brown. I'm getting hungry just thinking about them. I will most certainly return and will recommend the restaurant to others. P.S. Don't be turned away based on the looks of the place they are graded A and from the looks of it are clean. I won't deny the place could use a little sprucing up and it'll definitely do justice to the food that is served. read more

I don't know who's been cooking back there, but the oxtails were tough, and damn near cold. And you have the nerve to not sell large plates anymore but charge the same price for a medium plate as a large. And you are very cheap with the oxtail gravey . read more

This might be the worst restaurant experience ever. Service- Terrible, had to wait 6 exact minutes for someone to take my order..... and guess what.... I was the only person in the restaurant! One lady walking around talking on the phone, the other lady in the back listening to music. Smh Food- Horrible. Ordered White Rice with Curry Goat and a order of Chicken Wings. All my food was cold Smfh. If the service sucks, atleast have some good hot food to compensate for sucky service. read more

If I could I've this place 0 stars I would. I waited 30 minutes for my food when the restaurant only had 4 people inside of it. I patiently waited but when I saw that 6 other people who came in and ordered after me, received their food and left, I was furious but was still very patient. I nicely spoke with two different associates Inquiring about my order which to my avail only ended up with attitudes and stank looks. This is my first and last time at this restaurant! Be nice to paying customers! I would also like to add that my food was cold and I didn't receive any utensils to eat my food with. It's a good thing I was heading home! read more

I'm sorry it had to come to this Richie Rich but I'm highly disappointed and I have to rant because this is going too far.. First of all the customer service is horrible and the food is not any better... Some of the staff are absolutely rude.. I remember one of them resting the food down in anger as if I did something to her.. The curry goat is very fatty and has no flavor.. PLEASE DONT GET THE CURRY GOAT.. The rice is hard which means they are serving stale rice.. Sometimes the fried chicken taste very stale... Also they serve the steamed vegetable in a bag which is tacky After tonight I will not be going back. Waste of time and waste of money.. Save yourself the time and energy and go else where especially in the late night hours... read more

I ordered oxtails and receive bones with gravy. Not worth the $17.42 that was spent for a large order. I was very very disappointed in all the hoopla over this place. This photo is what I receive. Look at all the rice and just a smiget of vegetable. This is a large oxtail order. read more

Long lines - I can't stress that enough - long lines -no where to park you have to circle the block a couple of times then you will finally decide to double park or park a few blocks away and walk back. I can say it was worth the wait and the walk back. It's set up like a cafeteria style - you pay on one side and you pick up your food on the other side. The food is laid out where you can look at what you are getting before you buy it. I ordered the oxtails with rice and peas and please hold the vegetables. Although nothing is wrong with the vegetables I just didn't want it. The food was really good but I wasn't surprised because I'm sure people would not be waiting on a long line if the food wasn't good. I guess there is nothing you can do about the long line except get there early and avoid going there in the middle of the day or during the late evening. The staff was very nice and they really kept the line moving which was a plus. I definitely can say this is one of the best if not the best Caribbean restaurant in the Bronx. read more

The food is really good. Portions are okay. The wait is horrendous. Everything moves slowly. I would come here more if it weren't for the service. It's cash only again, be forewarned. I usually get the oxtail with rice and peas. The oxtail is meaty, cooked in a thick, rich sauce. The rice and peas are basic, but it's a bed for the delicious gravy from the oxtail. They'll give you as much or as little gravy as you want. I also had the macaroni pie. It was bland and dry. Don't waste your money. My complaint about this place is the inconsistent service. They move so slowly. Your portions depend on whose taking your order, which is not a best practice. For $18 for a medium, it's not cheap, but you can get two meals out of it. read more

Ordered from 167 location.. They can't cook.. I cook very well myself and usually don't alway expect the best but this was very meh I'm Jamaican ... but every Jamaican can't cook should've purchased my own oxtails and stewed it .. plus instead of calling me and saying they didn't have ting or jerk wings they gave me d&g pineapple and sweet chili wings... basically gave me wtf they wanted to. Disappointed read more

The fried chicken is straight fire the lowest price is $5.00 and up . If you're near any of his locations you need to status yourself and go get some trust me you'll thank me later , it has a lil bit of heat to it just in case you're sensitive to it read more

Well done..good job on the food it's Tasty great An for those that say service is slow..

Ordered a fried fish and basically received a plate of rice. How is it appropriate to sell a micro fish meal for $22 bucks. To add to this, they covered the fish with onions because they know the size isn't rational. read more

Bro this guy is winning!!! The wings in this place are by far one of my favorites thus far. Looking forward to going more often.

I've been several times, lost count of how many times I've stopped here, mostly late lunches and late dinners. My girlfriends also frequently stop to pick up food from this location. I'm really surprised by some of the negative reviews regarding their service. In all the years I've been (at least 3) I have never experienced bad service. The service is prompt (everyone should know by now when you walk into a Jamaican establishment, you should know what you want lol) However even when I have asked questions, they were always pleasant, never rude. The food is delicious, the servings are plentiful, and the price is right. I always have leftovers, and I can eat! My memory isn't the best, but I believe a small order of fried chicken is $6. Small jerk chicken with rice and peas is between $7-$8. You can't beat it, and if you can....tell me where. read more

Very rude cashier. ...makes you not want to come to the restaurant. Whether the food is good or not she put a bad taste in my mouth and I had a loss of appetite as result of her rudeness read more

Food is good I only got the oxtails and rice twice because I didn't feel like the trash customer service that comes with asking questions. The employees are rude. The customer service is why I won't be returning. If you are Caribbean or come in with any type of accent they be 25% nicer but even that's not saying much. The ladies at the front are so rude and I'll mannered read more

Food is good but waiting for an hour and half for you food when your in the restaurant is not and you to be very vigilant because they might get your order wrong. Staff is not the best either just throwing that out there. read more

This was my first time eating here as it was a recommendation from a co worker (I'm from Columbus Ohio.. home of Enas Caribbean-- check them out!) I knew I wanted Oxtails and that's what I got! The Oxtails were tender however my cabbage wasn't the best. And the line was not long at all. The only complaint is that it's HOT ASS HELL in there... they need fans or something. The customer service is what is to be expected kinda ride kinda snappy but no too terrible. I would visit again read more

Hands down, this was the best oxtails i've tasted since being in NY. I know I said the place in Staten Island was amazing but this place, my gawd! Worth the drive! And their fried chicken with oxtail gravy is orgasmic! Can't front, now i understand why the line was out the door. The wait is relatively 20-25 minutes but worth it. They also accept cards too! Unfortunately you can't call ahead and place an order but who cares! Lol! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for finger licking, tasteful west-indian food (: read more

Richie Rich Carribean - I couldn't resist before taking the picture (: - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

I have been going to the location on fish Ave in the Bronx for a little over 5 years. For a while the food and service was amazing. Little by little the service and quality of the food has become horrible. I went in today 11/4/2021 and the heavy set lady was very rude. I wanted two large orders of oxtails with rice and peas and I was told that I cannot get large because you don't sell large oxtails. As a paying customer I should be given the option to get the size I want and pay the price. Not be told that I cannot and then they are rude about it. I am very disappointed that the restaurant that I love to always go to has been little by little getting worse with the quality of food and the quality of service. I will never go back to Richie rich for my oxtail craving or for any food. I hope that when you receive this email it will make you reach out to your restaurants and inform them on how they should represent you and your brand. I send you blessing and hope that you can get your brand back to what it used to be. read more

THIS IS PLASTIC !!Fried in the chicken crust !I've been going there for YEARS !!
