I'm gonna attach a picture of my food, and ask yourself if that looks like $25 worth of oxtail. BTW, the abuser is "NO!" I shouldn't be able to eat it in 3 bites. read more

I ordered chicken tacos with Uber Eats with candied yams. The yams were not good. But the worst were the chicken tacos. They were too dry, tasted baked, not grilled, and there were bone shards throughout the taco, so I couldn't eat it. I thought it was pieces of plastic, but upon closer inspection, it looked like bone. Some of the pieces were so small I probably ate some before I realized it. Thankfully, I didn't eat much of it because it was so dry and tasteless read more

Finally a restaurant in Chicago where the taste and heat level of ALL the food on my plate meets my expectations. The owner/chef is Paulette who is a sweetheart and will take good care of you. There's a single table which is more for waiting than eating. They do accept credit cards. Dinners consisting of meat, beans & rice plus two sides typically run under $10 bucks while the seafood dishes are a little more. The portions are very generous. Metra trains run down the middle of 71st Street so pay heed to the "Yield" signs which are all over the place here. Of course the jerk chicken is the dish to get. I have a weakness for curry, so I got some of that to go also. The dinners are served on a generous bed of rice and beans and come with two sides. For one side I got steamed cabbage. Paulette works her magic even on the lowly cabbage which is seasoned to culinary nirvana. Oxtails. Curried goat. Talk about authentic! They even had escoviched fish on the menu which is akin to a ceviche. And then there's callaloo which is like spinach and I've had it only in Jamaica. Jared S. was the First to Review this place and he uses the word "spectacular" to describe it. Totally agree. So after eating food from here I have this urge to go out and have my hair braided... read more

This is a hidden gem! The customer service is excellent, fast and friendly! I'm a creature of habit, I usually have jerk chicken with plantains, cabbage and rice (DELICIOUS). So I was a bit apprehensive when it was suggested that I try the lobster, but it was AMAZING! The lobster over with rice garnished with onions and peppers was seasoned perfectly! The potato salad and green salad really complimented the lobster and rice. As usual I was very pleased with the service and food! read more

This restaurant gave us FOOD POISONING!!!!!! Background: I have ordered from here three times and will never ever be back again. I called in my order twice and still had to wait 30 minutes AFTER I got there for my food. Other than horrible service the first two times the food wasn't bad so I thought I would come back. Third times the charm right? WRONG!!!! Last experience: Last week I ordered two meals which I tried to call in but their phone was disconnected. When I got there I waited 40 minutes for my food (fish dinner and oxtail dinner) in their hot and cramped lobby. When I got home and opened my food, they had only given me two tiny oxtails and two bones. Also I'm not sure what kind of fish it was, but it was NOT what I've ordered before. The oxtails were extremely tough so much so that I ended up giving them to my dog. I figured I would just write the meal off and not go there any more.... that was until the next day when me and my elderly grandfather both woke up vomiting with diarrhea!!! I even had to take off of work! Verdict: Their food was basically dog food. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, YOUR HEALTH OR YOUR MONEY HERE. They have horrible customer service and their food will make you sick!!! read more

We ordered a jerk chicken dinner and a white jerk chicken dinner. They sent a jerk chicken dinner and the other container had 3 sides. No white jerk chicken dinner was sent. The driver lied and said he delivered the correct order. These pictures show what we received. Don't trust this place. Customer service is non-existent. read more

I literally been going here for two years. The best hands down. The most consistent. The sides are the bomb. The meat is the bomb. The service speed is good. The food over all is 5 stars. And i tried every jerk place in Chicago. This spot is the best! read more

I ordered my fave: curry goat and it was terrible. I'm starting to think this isn't goat on the plate I'm looking at. The flavor was horrid. The jerk chicken and max&cheese are delicious though. The rice and peas are bland and kind of old tasting! If you order from here just get jerk chicken. The curry goat isn't worth it. read more

The taste was amazing. Very authentic. The carrot/onion topping tasted slightly pickled. That flavor along with the smoked, well seasoned catfish steaks, made an amazing pair. The macaroni & cheese was baked flavorfully and cheesy. My only problem was the yams. They were not candied and deliciously sweet like your grandmother would make them. They were simply steamed and that's all. Nothing special. If they were southern candied yams, this would have been the perfect dinner read more

Um, I don't know what place the other reviewers went too because this food was Nasty with a capital N!!! The jerk chicken wings were the only thing that had any saving grace to this place but the sides were just horrible! My daughter likes this place that's why I went but since she isn't a person that truly cooks or eats real food I should have known I would not like this place!!! This is another place I wouldn't go to if it was free! read more

I ordered from here using GrubHub during lunch hours while at my desk. The restaurant accepted my order and money electronically. Over an hour later I called the restaurant 3 times to no avail because they were 20 minutes over the delivery time window. I then contacted GrubHub who got in touch with the restaurant which claimed that they were closed for the day. I can't review food that never got to me. read more

Was visiting a friend who just moved to the neighborhood and was looking for a place that had take out. By chance I came across Royal Caribbean Jerk and ordered a variety of dishes including the jerk chicken and oxtails. I am not very familiar with Jamaican food however the food was spectacular. On top of the amazing food the price was extremely reasonable and the the food came out very quickly. I did not have to wait but just 10 minutes for my food to be prepared. If you love juicy flavorful food I highly recommend Royal Caribbean Jerk!!!! read more

By far the BEST Red Beans and Rice HANDS DOWN!! My boyfrend and I went the first time and ordered the jerk chicken with red beans and rice, plantains, and cabbage and I must say that my boyfriend is a chef so he is EXTREMELY critical on food at restuarants and he LOVED every bite. Next trip we shared an order of jerk oxtails with the red beans and rice, cabbage, and plaintains ANOTHER winner. This food is simply delicious! I always thought Uncle Joe's was the go to place for jamaican, but I have def learned otherwise and the fact that I can get great jamaican food around the corner from my apt is why they def deserve 5 stars! :) Will try the jerk tilapia on my next visit. read more

Overpriced and bad. My rice was hard, tangy and dry. Not sure if it was vinegar in it, but it wasn't good rice and peas. I was super pissed because I paid $8 for a large The catfish order consisted of 5 small pieces that looked and tasted like reheated leftovers. The wings were just ok and I'm extra extra pissed I paid almost $40 for the crap. Wish I could've taken that mess back but I was already headed out of town. read more

I've only ordered from this place twice on Uber eats, however each time the food wasn't of great quality. Today, I ordered curry chicken with a side of rice and beans and cabbage. It was horrible, small portions and the food didn't taste like jerk. I ordered a veggie Pattie, and it wasn't done. Last, they gave me one jerk sauce. I'm sticking to Uncle Joe's , Ja Grill, and Jerk Villa this place doesn't know the meaning of jerk and they're expensive smh. read more

No one jerks it better than those from Manchester, Jamaica. The meat is prepared fresh daily never from frozen. The sides are delicious and filling. My yams had a cinnamon stick in them. My favorites are the brown stew chicken and red snapper. The cashier is very polite and reviews your order. Your order is packaged with care. It's wrapped in Saran Wrap so none of your juice spills out and your meal stays warm and in place. read more

I've ordered food with them through, ubereats and grub hub. I've always got my food in less than an hour. There chicken is so delicious, almost better than Uncle Joes. The jerk sauce is very, very spicy. The peas and rice is good. The cabbage is good, depending on the cook I guess. Sometimes it's seasoned well, with pieces of carrots, red and yellow peppers. Other times, it bland cabbage, period. The Mac, is ok. The yams, are ok, they are just a couple big chunks and taste kinda canned. The curry chicken and stewed chicken that I ordered once, was mostly scraps and boned pieces. So, I just stick with their, jerk chicken(which is always fresh and juicy) cabbage and rice and peas. I order that about 3 times a month. Which are the best to my likings!! read more

1 wing, 1 leg, 1 thigh is what they sent as a mixed half. 1 1/2 oxtails is what they sent as an oxtail dinner. They are always out of menu items, they never have callaloo, and their menu is inaccurate. They food is flavorful and for that they got the 1 star but I will never order from them again. read more

Been to this place many times. Food is great and the portions are solid. If you're looking for a good jerk spot you've found it my friend

The jerk goat was great. Ordered fried chicken and got jerk instead but it was still delicious. I would order again (but please get the order right) read more

I have had great food here, was gonna order something through yelp and decided to go by since I was out. They are open today until 9pm. Get there at 2:30, people are in there but the door is locked, they came to the door and said we are closed today ! They are still accepting taking out and silvery orders though yelp and grub hub read more

Poorly run. Didn't receive my online order that was made 30 minutes before. Then I was told to wait a half hour for the order to be ready. Absolutely not. read more

Quality is suburb and quantity is very satisfactory. I was in the area and was super hungry and my friend recommended this spot. I ordered the jerk chicken lunch special with sweet potatoes and cabbage. It also came with rice and beans. Came out to $7.50 plus tax. Great quality! I even had leftovers for lunch the next day. Thanks so much!! read more

I ordered jerk tilapia from here for the first time since they moved from the their last location. The sides were delicious & so was the jerk sauce, understanding that all restaurants make their jerk sauce different. The only thing I didn't like too much was that the tilapia was fried not grilled, with the jerk sauce on the side. I'm used To it being grilled, other than that we'll be back. read more

Went in to order a 1/2 White and Jerk Salmon Filet and they were out of Salmon. So I ordered a 1/2 Dark and 1/2 White. Went in and ordered at 7:49PM and didn't leave with my food until 8:40PM! Almost and entire hour for some food. No, I'm sorry for your wait or anything. I felt like they flew to Jamaica, caught the chickens themselves and brought them back to the states and threw them on the grill. The worst experience I've had in a while. That was my first and last time. read more

Delivery was horrible. Driver was rude. Driver then refused to exit her car. Last time I'll eat here.

I called ahead to order a jerk chicken dinner and the guy said 15 minutes. I typically know jerk chicken spots usually take at least 30 minutes. So I took my time getting there 30 minutes later and it was not ready. I only ended up waiting maybe 5-7 minutes in the restaurant. The food was definitely worth the wait! The chicken was fresh and seasoned well. And the sides were great and plentiful that it took 3 of us to finish the one dinner! I will definitely be back! Just be prepared to wait for your food. read more

Great authentic jamaican food the services just suck & unfortunately they microwave they beef patties which was a huge no no....other than that the jerk chicken can compete with anybody in the city... read more
