Good morning. I took my mother-in-law here today after church, and we were really looking forward…read moreto it based on the reviews we saw online and on TikTok. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing from start to finish. When we first arrived, we noticed the chefs in the kitchen wearing bonnets, which came across as unprofessional and not what we expected given the reputation of the place. After being seated, we waited nearly 10 minutes without any service and had to flag someone down just to take our order. We ordered oxtails with eggs on cocoa bread with cheese, along with jerk chicken with French toast. When the food came out, the order was incorrect--they brought jerk chicken with waffles instead. My mother-in-law politely explained the mistake to the waitress (a middle-aged woman), but instead of fixing it right away, the waitress began going back and forth with her, insisting that waffles were what we ordered. I stepped in to clarify that we had definitely ordered French toast, but even after that, the situation wasn't handled properly. When the dish came back, it was still wrong, and the waitress had an attitude the entire time. While we were there, we also noticed that other customers didn't seem satisfied. Several plates around us looked barely touched. The man sitting next to us ordered the same oxtails with eggs on cocoa bread and cheese and didn't eat his meal at all before leaving, which raised even more concerns about the food quality. To make matters worse, as we were getting ready to leave, I tried to place a to-go order. At that point, the waitress was still going back and forth with my mother-in-law. She then took our plate and said she wasn't going to deal with this and refused to take our order altogether, which was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. Overall, the service was rude, the order was mishandled, and the experience did not live up to the expectations set by the reviews. Between the long wait, poor communication, and lack of professionalism, I would not recommend coming here.

On Saturday, we went to Flames in Randolph and ordered a large curry goat and a medium oxtail. When I got home, I sat down to enjoy my curry goat and white rice. First bite in -- I felt something strange. I spit it out, and lo and behold, it's a big ol' rock! (See picture below.) I was stunned, like, what in the world is this big macco rock doing in my food? My appetite vanished immediately. I called Flames right away and spoke with a polite employee who apologized sincerely. She asked if I wanted my money back or a new meal. I told her to process a refund. She said she'd let her manager know and that I'd need to come in and swipe my card, but she reassured me not to worry and apologized again. I appreciated that. Fast forward to today (10/28), I went in and spoke with a manager named Nord. After explaining everything, instead of showing empathy or professionalism, she said the employee who handled it "did not do the right thing" and started lecturing me about their policy, saying the rock came from the rice, so it's not their fault. Like WHAT! I had to stop her right there. I said, "Call Jonathan, the owner, and let's just sort this out." I wasn't there to argue and I just wanted a refund or a replacement meal. After a few back and forth, she finally gave me another large goat meal. But honestly, if this was a reputable business, there would've been no need for all that. A good manager would've apologized, empathized, and made it right. Imagine if that rock had broken my tooth -- this could've been a serious situation! What's worse? The employee who handled things correctly got called and reprimanded for simply doing her job -- for caring about the customers and showing decency. That's unacceptable. And let's talk about accountability. Imagine finding a rock in your meal and being told, "It's not our fault, it's the rice." Really? So y'all don't wash the rice? The rice white, the rock black -- how no one see that? That's pure negligence. And to top it off, the food isn't even the same anymore. The curry goat I got today? No flavor, no love, like they forfot ro add the spices-- uugh. Should've just got the refund. The bottom line is this: Flames, and all Caribbean restaurants, we have to do better. Hire people who genuinely care about the customers, who understand what hospitality means. This "bad attitude, twist-up face, no compassion" culture has to stop. Mistakes happen -- that's life -- but taking ownership and valuing your customers makes all the difference. I've been featured in magazines and recommended Flames many times -- globally. But after this experience, I can't continue to support or recommend them. My few dollars might not make a dent, but one thing I know for sure: when people realize they deserve better, they will choose better.

My boyfriend has had plenty of authentic Jamaican food since he has Jamaican family members and he was not pleased at all with his plate. He said it could have been a lot better. This was my first time having Jamaican food and thought it was okay. I wasn't the biggest fan of their jerk chicken and the plantains were just ok as well as the Mac. I wasn't licking my fingers.

It's a small, family-owned restaurant that's half Filipino and half Jamaican, run by a Filipino Tita and her Jamaican husband. She learned how to cook Jamaican food to remind him of home, which honestly makes the whole place feel even more meaningful. The Filipino dishes I tried were authentic and tasted homemade -- the kind of food that feels like it came straight out of your auntie's kitchen. The Jamaican food was also delicious (I can't personally vouch for authenticity there), but everything we had was flavorful and satisfying. It's a great, casual, order at the counter spot -- and it's right next to a Filipino market, which makes the experience even better. I love supporting small businesses, especially ones that represent my culture. Bright Light is the kind of place that deserves the love.
