    Barrington's Jamaican Kitchen - The flavor of jerk chicken is bomb. Really tasty. The cabbage stuff surprised my taste buds. A must try.

    Wow what a gem of a place. We came here years ago and honestly just such nice food and people. So…read moregood that we remembered it and came back when we were in the area. We got their jerk chicken and curry chicken plate. The red beans and rice were great and each of the chicken flavors were fantastic. This time, it came with a double portion of stewed cabbage rather than plantains and collard greens but they were so flavorful. All this food and a canned drink for $10, an unchanged price since 2018 is such a shock for this level of high quality food. 100% support this awesome local business.

Barrington's fits the bill for a casual stop for good value! We came Saturday afternoon around 12 and I got the chicken curry and jerk chicken combo with rice, cabbage, and plantains for $10. What a steal! I really enjoyed the chicken curry which was a fall of the bone drumstick with amazing flavor. The jerk chicken was not as flavorful and not as tender. I would skip this next time. My husband got the combo of oxtail and goat curry, which we were told wouldn't be ready for 30 minutes. We came back around for his combo which cost a bit more ~$16. He loved the oxtail but though the goat curry fell a bit short. Overall, great value and good food. Get the chicken curry & oxtail (weekends)!

We had empenadas, jerk chicken, arepas, fried shrimp, and a side of beans with plantains. It was all pretty good, but nothing really blew me away. I really like the jerk sauce on the chicken, but the chicken itself was just a slow cooked breast without much flavor or texture. The arepas were just cornmeal and cheese, without any of the other ingredients I've usually seen in the past (although they did come with a tasty green salsa). I think my favorite item was the salt and pepper shrimp, which had a really good flavor. Plantains and beans are also delicious. There were a few other dishes we wanted to try, such as the ceviche, but unfortunately they were out of it that night. I would come back again to try some other dishes in the future.

We kicked things off with their signature mojitos, a bargain at just $9 each. Ordered tapas-style and were blown away by the delicious beef empanadas (3), served with a rich, succulent dipping sauce carrying subtle hints of clove and nutmeg. The sweet potato fries arrived hot, crispy, and paired with a spicy sauce that was pure YUM. The complimentary bread tasted just like it came fresh from our local Pyrenees Bakery. For the finale, we enjoyed the grilled sea bass, served atop a flavorful onion-tomato medley of pure yumminess, complete with half a dozen shrimp. A fantastic finish to a memorable meal.

And am I glad I followed my spirit in this one! When I pulled up I was greeted with fragrant scent of spice then the doors opens to deep aromas of jerk and curry! Bag was ready and piping hot! And I must tell you it was the longest 14.6 miles home ever with all those spices slapping me in the face! We ordered 2 Dinners and a side. Dinner one was Oxtails with gravy the second was Curry Chicken. Each dinner comes with rice and peas, a cabbage mix and plantains. Along with a side of jerk chicken. The oxtails were delicious. Be sure to ask for heavy gravy as that's kind of light (Wish I had asked for that on the Curry). The flavor was so deep I flew back to my island retreat in my mind!! I am know as the bland food eater so the curry and oxtails were at my spice max. I enjoyed the fullness of the spices and even appreciated the heat that came with it . I polished off the remaining rice and peas later in the evening (glad I ask for additional gravy) and I think the flavor may have been a bit better after settling at room temp, as I I was staring at the plate like why isn't there more!! I did bravely taste the jerk and it too was a very Carribean scent (although too spicy for me personally) the flyover was rich and chicken was moist so that a plus and my partner gobbled it up so tells me that the item was good. Tameka, you and your hubby need a store front restaurant , food truck or hell a cart to be tablet to serve the AV. Y'all owe it to yourselves, the AV. The community, heck to me! Will definitely not hesitate when need for the Caribbean hit the back of my throat !! They accept Zelle, Cashapp, Apple Pay and good old American cash!

And I had to ask "What is a Jamaican Style Meat Patty"? and they told me it's like an empanada! But WOAH. It's much bigger than any empanada I've ever seen! The staff was super nice on the phone to me when they explained what it was and that we were able to turn the meat patty into a vegetarian friendly version - nice! They also had a vegetarian one! So we grabbed 2 and got 2 free then decided to also order their vegetarian curry because we thought the meat patties wouldn't be enough. But omg. It was more than enough! The meat patties were huge and thick! And so so so FLAVORFUL! When you come to their shop inside the food hall the shop looks unassuming, it's cluttered and doesn't really give me the excitement of wanting to order here but wow wow wow. Once we ate it we were like "we shouldn't have judged!" Once we dived into the curry we were just waaaay to full but the vegetarian curry was so good. Not as flavorful as the meat patty (should've had the curry first so our tastebuds wern't overwhelmed!" but still tasty nonetheless! It had so much chickpeas and the rice was pretty good! I think we're going to have to come back and try it again when we're in the area!

    pretty yummy but very spicy!…read more The oxtail is very tender and the chicken is good too. Rice is very fluffy and not dry. To be honest, it's too spicy for me. Workers here are very friendly. Food takes about 15 minutes to come out. Ambiance is very casual

The Blooming brands of Darden and Landry restaurants along with fast foods like Mickey Dees and wingstops' of the world, so no o don't expect everyday their food will be perfect. They actually cook their food unlike most of the above ref'ed places So open mind going in. It's a cute little spot designed with their home land in mind good music some flavor spilling out onto the sidewalk. I ordered an oxtail meal with 2 beef patties total was $38. It looks like they make the food early and place in warmers with a line prefer buffet style glass protecting the food. (I didn't like their glass set up you could have a child slide their hand back there, so that felt iffy) So the only delay were the folks in front of me ordering and them plating the meals. I was in and out within maybe 12 mins, I couldn't wait til I got all the way home as I hadn't eaten all day and it was almost 5, so I took a few bites of one beef patty. It was flavorful (a bit spicy for me but I'm not the most spicy eater) I had to force myself to let it go u til I got home. I didn't want all the crumbs on me and my newly cleaned car! My drive of 4.5 miles seems so long thank Goodness it was a good weather day, so I could roll down the windows and not be overwhelmed by the flavors and spices for what felt like 35 mins as I kept staring as my bag. I'm home and I immediately finished the patty. And I must say I enjoyed it spicy and all I wished I'd gotten me a extra as the second of my order was for someone else:( Now I'm onto the meal and I have to start with more gravy please. I don't know anyone who gets this that wants their rice dry. I'd love every bite to be moisten with a bit of gravy. Presentation: the oxtails are a bit on the smaller side I believe they chop the bigger ones in half to stretch out the meat. (If I were them I'd add a couple more slices plantains to compensate for that) I too taste the salted flavor it tastes like they use garlic salt and a seasoned salt maybe using garlic powder would alleviate while still elevating the food. The oxtails were tender I just wished there was at least half a serving spoon size more. Overall I'd give this place 3,5 out of 5 stars. Yes they have a couple kinks to work out but they definitely are on track to making some delicious Caribbean food and wouldn't that be nice so close to home!!! I will revisit in a couple months to see if they've up dated their technique and for a spicy beef patty!

The first time I went I tried the Jamaican beef patties, the oxtail empanada and the chicken empanadas with both their ranch and their hot sauce. The staff was very friendly and I love that this is a woman owned business. The oxtail empanada is to DIE for. The chicken one has a curry like flavor and was also delicious. The beef patty was unlike anything I've had before. The texture of the filling caught me by surprise because it's softer than I expected but once I figured that out I really liked it. Both the hot sauce and the ranch are also delicious, but if you like heat I would definitely recommend the hot sauce the most. In fact I liked this place so much that I went back the next week to get more and at that point also tried the beef empanada. Beef was also delicious! Altogether my favorite was the oxtail hands down, then the Jamaican patty, then chicken, the regular beef. You won't be disappointed with any! I also found that they reheat really well in the air fryer. I microwaved them out of the fridge for about 30 seconds to a minute, just until they were slightly warm to the touch. And then put them in the air fryer at about 350 flipping once for around 6-8 minutes. Amazing!
