Jerk Pork
Keila K.

I had a craving for Jamaican food and found this spot riding down Memorial Drive. I didn't have time to read the reviews prior to coming so we literally took a chance and I'm glad we did! Omg that jerk pork was soooooo good. Never have I ever ordered that from any other restaurant but wanted to try something other than jerk chicken or curry chicken. My first choice was the fish but it's prepared to order which takes about 25-30 minutes which we weren't in the mood to wait. All seafood is prepared to order so I know for next time to call ahead for that dish if I'm in the area again. The pork was so flavorful and it was right amount of spice. And it's plenty of meat! Rice and peas, cabbage and plantains ran me ten bucks which ain't nuthin at all. I can always count on Stone Mountain and Decatur to provide the best island food.

Sooo delicious! Fantastic food. We tried the jerk chicken, curry chicken, curry goat, and oxtail. All were amazing. The meat on each was super tender, and I loved the richness in particular of the oxtail. Even the "small" portion of one of the main dishes is very generous: more than I could finish in one meal, for sure! Especially with the peas and rice and cabbage-- the cabbage in particular is super flavorful and stellar in it's own right. However, if you are looking for a lighter option, I might recommend the salad instead. COVID-wise, this place is takeout only, all staff has masked, and customers have to have masks on too: I observed this enforced, which is awesome. Happy to come back and support a great establishment that seems to be taking this pandemic seriously!

Today was my first time trying Sunshine Jamaican Restaurant so I played it safe and ordered ox tail, rice and peas, curry chicken, cabbage, a beef patty, and plantains. The food is absolutely fresh, clean, and delicious omg the cashier was very polite and she told me I'd be back lol she was right.

Oxtail Jerk Chicken Rice and Peas
Jordan D.

I've tried plenty of Jamaican Restaurants and Sunshine definitely sits at the top of the list. My first visit to this place was okay. It was really packed and the wait times are kind of absurd but I believe it was only one person in the kitchen and one taking the orders so I understood. I waited patiently to see what the hype was about and boyyyyy was the wait worth it. I would wait until Jesus comes back for that Oxtail. I'm also normally not a fan of Jerk but Sunshine's jerk holds just the right amount of spice. The dessert is amazing as well. I had the carrot cake and the flavors of that cake were just a lot to take in. It was moist the icing was creamy. Just downright delicious. I would definitely come back and wait until my bones bleed to get some more of this good Jamaican cuisine.

My plate! Oxtails and curry goat combo plate with cabbage and curry goat gravy!
Akiko J.

Bomb!! The combo plates are the TRUTH!!! Try their curry goat/oxtail combo with rice n' peas and curry goat gravy. Hubby loves their escovich king snapper fish with rice n' peas with cabbage ($15 and cooked to order). Paid like $38 for everything which included a drink too, so great prices! The slices of cake are $2.70 each. The carrot cake is ok. Icing wasn't cream cheese. The "black" Jamaican rum cake is good but I prefer mine with icing and they don't have it here. I'm about to try their key lime cake. I'm a baker so I know good cakes lol. Trust me tho, their food is straight bangin'!! Always good in the hood' right off Memorial Drive. On Saturdays they're open til 10:30pm. They sell red pea soup on Saturdays too. If you never had it before try it. Only $4.00 for a small. The dumplings in the soup sets it off! Check it out! I go to Red Hills for the jerk chicken but come here for everything else...lol this place is definitely in my top 3 favorite Jamaican places. Ok now I gotta go finish eating lol..

Chicken patty
Sarah H.

I was so excited this place was open because I went to two other Jamaican spots and both were closed (grr). There was a little bit of a line but it didn't take but 10-15 minutes for me to receive my order after placing it. There were so many things on the menu but they have a sign advertising combo plates so I decided on that. It comes with two meats, two sides, and plantains (and now that I think about it I never got my plantains. Im going to have to call and I'll give an update later). I ordered the curried goat and oxtails with a side of rice and peas and cabbage. I also wanted a beef patty but they only had chicken so I settled for that. When I got home I couldn't wait to eat my food and it did not disappoint! Delicious and good portion size, especially for the $19 I paid. I was able to share with my dad and still have leftovers. The goat was tender, the oxtails were meaty, the gravy was flavorful, and the chicken patty was flaky. So many good things. My dad is even thinking about going tomorrow to get some more! Fyi they do charge a service fee if you use a card.

Stew Red Snapper (yummy)
Trisha J.

Red snapper was awesome Visit sunshine other day and ordered the stew whole Red Snapper Fish rice & peas with cabbage everything was very fresh and the whole snapper was crispy on outside and very moist and tender on inside, sauce with veggies that was placed atop of fish was very tasty and lite weight not heavy and overpowering which made the fish retain its crispy texture - a little pricey but worth every penny. I could not eat all of it, did finish next day and was still good. Didn't receive my plantains with both orders, I noticed when I reach home, but didn't take away from my enjoyment of the food. Also ordered jerk chicken - was good as well. Think so far the stew fish is my favorite. In pic I broke head off before I could take the pic :o) A lot of meat in the head too. LOL!!!

This place opened fairly recently (less than 24 months ago per se) and shows a thoughtfulness many…read morerestaurateurs never fully understand or care to demonstrate. Their current health score of 96 is a testament to this commitment. Hands down, this is one of the best experiences in Stone Mountain. James was our bartender and sherpa this evening. He certainly treated us well, and was the consummate professional and veteran! This made the ambiance even more appealing while setting the stage for some really memorable eats and a first date filled with mutual gratitude. The food here is next level Jamaican inspired and phenomenal. We had the oxtail sliders, plantain boat with jerk chicken, and the shrimp tacos. Everything tasted amazing and was expertly presented/plated. While this place seems to draw a 24-35 year old demographic based on social media content, older folks will also love this place. Looking forward to more from this team in the years to come. Also, the bathroom and public areas are squeaky clean! Well done!

My daughter's friend brought us here after long day out & it did not disappoint. We sat at the bar…read moreand were served immediately. I don't recall the woman name at the bar but she was helpful and friendly. They were playing Chris Brown & I asked who's the CB fan cuz that all we heard. NO COMPLAINTS; I LOVE HIM TOO. And they serve Pepsi WIN WIN I'm a Pepsi girlie so I was excited about that. I ordered the salmon & the girls ordered the fried chicken. My food was good. The portions were perfect. I tried my daughter's fried chicken which was also good. It wasn't hot though. Her friends said hers was. All & all I enjoyed and I see they're only 7 minutes from my house so I will return. I would recommend as well.

Keith Lee didn't lie.. This spot deserves all the things. This isn't a sit down spot so be prepared…read moreto order inside and take it to go. I went right when they opened at 12 on a Saturday so I was in and out! I appreciated the speaker being outside because you can wait in your car instead of standing inside and hear your name. I ordered the jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage and Mac & cheese. It's a good amount of food and really good! The Mac & cheese I've had at other spots doesn't compare to theirs, it was so good. I've always ordered from the app but it was the first time going inside in years. Definitely still a fave.

First time trying this spot out. I'm a huge fan of jerk chicken so when I came accords this juci…read morejerk I had to stop by. I ordered their large jerk chicken meal it comes with rice and peas and cabbage. My total was $19.74 but I did leave a tip; about $2 and some change. I ate the same plate twice. The jerk chicken is so far the best I've had in Atlanta. The rice and peas were really good: cooked perfectly. The cabbage I had was not the next it was more stalk than anything but I can say the softer parts I did have, had good flavor. I tried their mild and hot sauce for the chicken. Babbbyy the hot is hot! Even mixed with the mild. Now I love hot food so I ate the hot sauce until I just couldn't even more but will I get it again yes, just enjoy the burn lol. It is a to go spot so no seating but you can wait inside for your food. Parking is available and it was easy for me. Also, they are located right next to a gas station so if parking is crazy you have that as an option. The service was great and it wasn't a long wait.
