I very much like certain Caribbean dishes - Jerk Chicken, Curried Goat or Chicken, Brown Stew…read moreChicken, Ackee & Salt Fish, Stewed Turkey Necks, and most of all, Oxtail! I have eaten at Da Ragge, La Palma, and Calypso Mama in Greensboro, Dixon's Jamaican in Burlington, and a few others. In this area, I've tried Outta D Kitchen, Ah Fiwi, & Taste Jamaica in WS. I finally got around to trying this spot a few times, which has been around for a while, the oldest Yelp review was over 16 years ago. They have received just over 2.5 reviews a year, but somehow are still here. I ordered the Oxtail, a favorite - called in the order, based on Yelp reviews this seemed the way to go. On another occasion I tried the Curry Goat. The Oxtail and Curry Goat were very good, tender and flavorful, and the serving size was reasonable. On one visit the cabbage was well seasoned, but rather bland on the other. The rice and peas were just ok, and the plantains lacked softness and sweetness. I almost certainly come again - I want to try the Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, the Pepper Steak, and for sure the Turkey Necks.

I've been craving Jamaican Oxtail for a while and finally got my fix today! I called in my order…read moreand was kindly greeted by a staff member on the other end of the phone. They took my order, asked my name, and told me when to expect my order to be ready. Yeh Mon's is located on lockland Ave. just off of Silas Creek Blvd. Its bright green and yellow store front confirms you're in the right place before you even read a word from the sign. I waited the exact amount of time they told me before going inside. I walked into a tight, but bright carry out area, which can only hold maybe 2 people at a time. If you do a walk-in to-go order, you should probably wait in your car after ordering. I was greeted and asked if I had a picked up order and was asked my name. The food was ready when I arrived, and I paid $25 for 1 oxtail plate. Considering how much oxtail are in the grocery store, this is a deal for not having to prepare them myself. The food was still piping hot when I arrived home 20 minutes away. They gave generous serving of oxtail (about 5-6 pieces). -The oxtail and its gravy were flavorful, and the meat was super tender and filling. The best I've had since Rhythms closed. -The cabbage was flavored well but was a little too salty. The rice and peas were bland. It didn't taste like they cooked it with coconut milk like I've had from other jamaican restaurants. Overall, the great customer service and excellent oxtail earned them 4 stars. I'll certainly put them in rotation for regular spots to visit.

Walk up counter service, was less than friendly. We stood at the counter for several minutes before anyone even came to the counter. I smiled and said thank you and appreciated him taking our order, but the guy behind the counter was not friendly at all nor gracious. We were the only people in the place too. No thanks for coming in, nothing. We placed our orders, paid and got our drinks and took a seat. There is not really an area to sit and eat. After getting our food, taking it with us was our only choice. Even though we had wanted to eat it while it was fresh and hot, it felt uncomfortable to sit there and eat. So we took our food and left. I ordered the Jerk Chicken, with rice and cabbage. It was good but we live about 20 minutes or more away and it was cool to cold by the time we got home and inside it was close to half an hour later before sitting down to eat. The jerk flavor was good. The meal was okay, the service not so much. It makes a difference too, the food may be okay but when the service is not. Will kill a business. 3 Stars it is what it is 01205

I ordered through Doordash today since I am rarely on that side of town and my food was still warm when it arrived. I have been craving a beef patty and I had heard that they have the best mac n cheese in Winston Salem. I have been hesitant to order because a side of mac n cheese is very pricey. To my shock it was actually enough for 2 servings and worth the price tag. I have to admit it is definitely the best mac n cheese I have ever purchased, even over the well known soul food spots. The mac and cheese was very creamy and yet still had your favorite crispy edges. It was not overpowered with sour cream like so many places locally. The beef patty was nice and spicy and the crust was very flaky. It could stand to have a bit more filling though. I look forward to getting the jerk chicken again and eventually trying their oxtails. I definitely recommend giving them a try.

I do think that this event at Wise Man Brewery was my first time ordering from them. I sampled both the Jerk Chicken with Black Beans/Rice, and the Haitian Fried Pork with Plantains! The jerk was really good with a fair amount of meat, and a heaping amount of black beans and rice! The chicken is extremely well seasoned, and true to their roots, very spicy! The fried pork chunks was my absolute favorite dish as the chunks were not overly fatty, tender inside, and quite flavorful! The accompanying plantains were large in portion size and right on the mark! The one downside to ordering from them is the extensive menu that they offer which ultimately slows them way down! I waited nearly 20 minutes for my food, and while they may say that you're getting a fresher experience, I say that's way too long for a food truck experience! While very good, I probably wouldn't reorder from them unless like this time, they were the only option!!

My husband ordered Carne Mechada Arepa and said it was absolutely delicious, very savory and tender beef. He had added on avocado for 2 dollars which itself was very reasonably priced based on the amount of avocado gave however, this item overall is smaller than he would have anticipated. I ordered Arroz Con Carne Mechada with a side of their cilantro sauce. I was very satisfied with the whole meal as the meat was flavorful, there was plenty of cheese, and the cilantro sauce just put everything over the top. I will say pricing wise, I was given a much bigger portion that matched a bit more the price point compared to my husband. I am aware with small business it may be hard pricing wise, but I do think with my husband's meal, it could have at least come with a side of rice included to round out the dish. Overall the food was great quality and the staff were nice and helpful. I would come back to try additional menu items.

After ordering, I was given a buzzer to be notified when it was ready. The staff person were very friendly. The buzzer went off at 5:23pm. The food was hot and fresh. However, the fries and chicken was unseasoned. Ketchup made the fries taste better. I had to eat the chicken how it was, lol. Overall, it was a good deal. My kids enjoyed their empanadas.

Service was great and the mojitos were on point. Not being able to decide on two things to share we needed up ordering 3! The classic Cuban with fries, the grilled fish tacos with yellow rice and veggies and the shredded chicken mojito bowl, which has been my Goto ever since they opened. All of these were so tasty, fresh, and plentiful. Just plain good food. I have to say the classic Cuban was really delicious, the mustard and pickles brings out the meat and the I like the flattened Cuban bread. I have always loved their fries. The chipotle ketchup is so unique too. The tacos also packed a punch, lots of filling into the little street taco shell! Loved this. The mojito bowl was just as always fabulous. I love all their sauces too. I will truly miss this place for having different food and offering us a taste of something different. Good luck to the owners in the future...I'll try and be back once more before the 24th!

I was especially interested in the Toasted Cuban Bread, the Authentic Cuban Sandwich, and the Pan Con Bistec, and tried them all over several visits, along with Chicharrones, Ceviche, plantains, Fried Chicken Sandwich, Ropa Vieja, Street Corn, and more. My experiences here were definitely a mixed bag with both the food and the service. On one visit the service would be fine, and on the next it would be awful. Time for food to arrive on the table varied greatly, even when the restaurant was not especially busy. The Cuban Sandwich is decent but it doesn't scream "South Florida". I was more impressed with the Pan Con Bistec, a better choice in my opinion, as is the Fried Chicken Sandwich especially with a side of sweet plantains or yucca fries. The Toasted Cuban Bread, the Street Corn, and the Ceviche were also pretty good choices, as are the Chicharroes. I did not care for the Ropa Vieja at all, nor the Cuban Deluxe Sandwich, too much going on, croquettes adversely effected both the taste and the texture if the Cuban! I was sorry to hear that the restaurant will close permanently on Aug 24th. The owners site a drop in business due to the downtown parking situation (which likely will only get worse with the coming changes), safety concerns by potential customers, as well as rising costs in almost all areas of operation. Winston will lose yet another solid, sit down restaurant, most likely to be replaced by another fast, casual spot with a trendy, funky menu.
