I was in the mood for Jamaican food and I'm glad this was in my vicinity. They have a lunch special for $9.99 and it may not seem like a lot of food at first but a small order of that delicious brown stew chicken was very satisfying! I especially like the spice level. I could always go for spicier but this was just right for my quick lunch break so I could enjoy my food without wiping a runny nose or sweating or something. That Rice. Covered in that stew sauce. Omg absolute perfection! I'm so happy that my meal was fantastic and customer service was awesome! I will be back! Tip: They like for you to call instead of ordering online. I wish I had known because this is how I put my order in. This is because Door Dash fulfills their online order. Anything you can do to help a small businesses goes a long way! read more

This has been my favorite Caribbean food go to since I've lived in Jacksonville Fla . Highly recommended. Absolutely excellent

The high reviews were truly misleading. We drove about 40 minutes to get here. The location was a bit difficult to find. It was on the corner next to a little mini mart type of shop. Parking is also limited, I'd say about 8 spaces unless you want to make your own makeshift parking. Thank goodness for Jeeps. Upon entering the business it was not inviting, vibes were get your stuff in and get out. We ordered the brown stew chicken with rice and peas and plantains and ox tail. Lets just say there was no stew to the chicken or ox tails. Truly dry and not worth the $40+. Wont be returning. If you have the option go somewhere else but if you're needing a quick fix and arent up to going somewhere else, stop here. read more

What a delicious mouthwatering burst of Caribbean cuisine. I ordered the curry Goat. Rice and peas and plantains. One of the best restaurants in our hood. I will be back and telling everyone I know about the taste of the island. I simply loved the food and would rate 5 more stars for the food and service. Take note Jacksonville, people want good service and great food for the price. read more

Best jerk chicken hands down! Love the rice and peas! Fresh and not dry like others I've had. Overall highly recommended!!

If you're looking for authentic Jamaican food , this the perfect spot! Fresh and flavorful

Being a native Jamaican- authenticity is high on my list. This place is a hidden jewel!!! The food is amazing- perfectly seasoned- fresh off the grill-just right portions. They even catered my Christmas Dinner- it was EXCELLENT..I could actually eat there everyday if I lived closer. The Brother Sister owners are true Jamaicans Friendly-Warm And always ready for a good chat!! Try it- you won't be disappointed. read more

Don't let the lack of fine dining decor steer you away from this little gem of a restaurant. If you like jerk chicken and authentic Jamaican food your going to love this place! With very little seating, one small table with two chairs and a couch, this is mostly a takeout restaurant. The food is amazing, the jerk is perfectly seasoned, it's spicy but not hot, so you enjoy the flavor. The owner has his grill right out in front of the restaurant and the smell of his food let's you know he's a master of the grill. And from the kitchen everything is sooo good! The oxtails are the best I've ever had, rich meaty falling off the bone, you will want to eat them alone isuck the bones clean! :D The curry goat, beef patties, brown stew fish are all delicious and the owners are super nice and happy to have your business. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

The Jerk Chicken is the absolute best I've ever had in my life! Perfect level of spice & the chicken is moist and smoky... they cook their jerk chicken on the grill right in front of the restaurant. Rice & peas were perfect & I'm picky about rice. The cabbage was freshhh. I was being fat & ordered a side of The Jerk Pork which was amazingly tender & flavorful, I liked that it wasn't salty. I'm so happy lol read more

Excellent flavor, substantial portions! Dinner veggie plate was Rice & peas, cabbage, plantains. I wasn't sure what to expect for vegan options. This was perfect! Price was $14. Will absolutely go back and I wish I'd found them sooner! The staff were friendly and accommodating. There's limited seating there, probably best to take it to go. They have drinks in a cooler that looked delicious. It's in the building between hot wok and the post office (co-located with corner store and seafood shop). read more

This is the most nastiest Jamaican food I've ever had coming from someone in the Caribbean. How can you guys say your authentic and the shit taste nasty. Food is oily has no flavor. I'm currently in the hospital for two weeks and wanted some home cooked food and this is what you guys are selling. Listen I understand everyday doesn't have to be the best but you don't sell people no oily ass tasteless ass Jamaican food I will personally come to the store and speak to the owner. Y'all need to be closed down and for all these people that writing reviews talking about 4.5 stars y'all don't have no tastebuds in your mouth knowing damn well this isn't Jamaican food read more

The Choppin Coppin - This is what y'all selling the paper bag took the oil up for me at least. Shit is disgusting - Caribbean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Fantastic Jamaican food. I bought lunch today for 8 coworkers, one of them a Jamaican. This is her husband's favorite Jamaican restaurant in Jax. All of them loved it. The jerk chicken is roasted over a wood fired grill in front of the restaurant. It's got nice heat, great spices, slightly sweet, falls of the bone, and and grilling gives it a great flavor. The cabbage was delicious. The place is small, easy to miss, so Google map it. There's no inside seating. The owners are nice people, passionate about cooking. read more

I ordered the jerk pork special for lunch. It came with cabbage and white rice. The jerk pork was very flavorful and nice and tender. It was seasoned to perfection! The rice and cabbage paired with it was excellent! I'm looking forward to going back! read more

Best authentic Jamaican food in Jacksonville, hands down. As a Jamaican American raised in Miami, I'm used to having access to authentic ethnic food, not just Carribean food. Moving to Jacksonville was a real culinary shocker. i've gotten recommendations for many other Jamaican restaurant, all of which I've visited once and didn't return for a multitude of reasons. Most of them served either leftover food or food that just was not authentic. I found this place by accident when visiting the post office off Spring Park Road one evening. The owner was jerking chicken outside the restaurant and it smelled divine. I walked over placed my order and was not disappointed. I went back the very next day to pick up lunch (because it was that good) and brought it back to the office. We all ended up ordering lunch again the very next day and the food was amazing. Give him a try. I suggest ordering to go. The neighborhood is a little scary but this man'a jerk chicken and curry goat at well worth it. read more

Horrible. Ordered this while visiting Jacksonville through Grub hub. I placed an order for stewed chicken it wasn't ready yet when my driver arrived to pick up my order which if that was the case I shouldn't of been able to place an order on the website. I ended up swapping out for Jerk chicken which tasted like curry my order contained cabbage,rice and peas which was placed in a very small to go tray, the size u would put a pie or cookies in it was over flowing because it was so small. I do not recommend and won't be eating here ever... read more

Finding it was a bit hard on the first try, it's located right next to the post office and directly next to a seafood store. This hidden gem is amazing. So glad I found them from google reviews. I figured they deserved a yelp review as well. I always get chicken curry or goat curry, and both are super tender and full of flavor. The medium size is around 14 bucks and honestly I eat it for lunch and dinner. Good amount of food. I definitely prefer this over fast food in the area. I love how I can call in an order and pick it up, no time wasted, especially since I gotta squeeze it into my lunch time. The owners are super friendly as well. Love this place and love their food! read more

Great food Great service and even better staff the food is well seasoned with my island spice I grew up loving...Jerk chicken/ pork. oxtail and my snapper escovitch fish, very delicious read more

Pretty good. Small location in the corner. Looks very authentic to that saying of "hole in the wall". Very nice staff with a decent menu. I've gone twice. Was not overwhelmed but not disappointed either. Will go again. read more

This was my first time visiting this location. My barber Terry recommended this restaurant! I told the owner that this was my first time here. She really made me felt welcomed. I ordered the Jerk chicken and I asked was it really spicy, I think her name is Christine , she let me sampled the jerk chicken with their jerk sauce it was very good. I will definitely be back. The restaurant was very clean with AWESOME FOOD and SERVICE!! I hope I have your name correct, I was excited to see her wearing a New Orleans Saints Apron since that's is my hometown and Football Team!! Who Dat and Thank you again!! read more

The person who I spoke to on 1/26 is so rude the customer service is horrible . I was ready to place an order with them but I wanted to call bc on 1/15 the order I received was cheated out of the .50 extra gravy and the amount of curry goat. Where the lady said out of her own mouth that where they get their goat it's cut small with bones and so I asked her . Why would you serve me bones then. She kept talking over me . And I just decided not to order from this restaurant again based off her rudeness. I will spend my money else where . . Don't get me wrong the food is amazing but I refuse to spend my money somewhere where I have to be talked to the way I was just talked too. It's not acceptable read more

I have been to this Restaurant 3 times in the last 3 weeks and I will make it a mission to continue the trend for the rest of the year. This is the most fire Jamaican food I have ever eaten besides what my grandmother and Dad would make at home. There is nothing more that needs to be said. This is a place you must try. read more

This place serves a bunch of rice little of whatever protein you order. The very small portion of protein I received with the medium meal was predominantly bones. The rice is not that good. I ended up throwing away more than half of the rice. I paid almost $30 for two meals that were unimpressive. Don't make the same mistake. read more

This place knows what they doing! The Choppin Coppin is what you want if you want authentic and tasty food. I had the goat curry, rice, and steamed cabbage! Very tender! It was delicious! I will be back! It's kind of hidden beside a food mart! read more

Fantastic menu! Ordered several entrees and apps and there were no leftovers at all! Definitely on the must try list

You'll miss it if you look too fast lol. The food was AMAZING!!! I ordered jerk pork with peas and rice which was the best I've ever tasted. The meat was tender, flavorful and not salty at all. The steamed cabbage was a refreshing compliment to the meat and rice. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

This place is expensive. The jerk chicken is okay. I have had better. I'm a Jamaican, and this restaurant does not cook authentic Jamaican food it caters to the American consumer. The prices for this food is rediculouse especially when it is not authentic Jamaican food. The food was not seasoned, had no Jamaican spice, and you get a small portion of protein and a big plate of rice. If you want authentic Jamaican food this is not the please to go. If you want quantity compared to the prices you should skip this place. read more

THE BEST JERK CHICKEN I'VE EVER HAD. I work about a mile away from here and I come once a week for the jerk chicken, rice and peas, and steamed cabbage. The owner is also extremely nice and professional. I've recommended this place to numerous co workers and friends, and I highly suggest you go here at least once to try the food. You absolutely will not regret it read more

If I could give this place more stars I would. Seriously. This is some of the freshest and clean eating Jamaican food I've had. Usually I feel extra bloated and awful after other places I've tried in Jax but choppin? It's just so damn good. *chef kiss* read more

The jerk chicken meal is amazing !!! Best Jamaican food I've ever had and I'm from NYC where we can get some real Jamaican cuisine. The food is hands down delicious. I can't wait to go back. Oh! And they're super friendly. read more

This is my first time picking up lunch here. The food was so good! I had the Jerk chicken with rice and Salad un believable flavor. It all complimented each other. The restaurant is take out only (I think) it only had one table. The people were so nice! Everything looked so clean and nice! I can't wait to come back and try some more! read more

So good! So far I've had the brown stew chicken, the jerk chicken and the oxtails. It's all good, but the jerk chicken is next level. It's got just the right amount of spice, not hot and it's moist and smoky. They serve it with a slightly sweet jerk sauce on top. I had the peas and rice and the cabbage with it. The peas and rice are a great side dish... kind of a dense sticky texture that provides a great accompaniment to the chicken. The cabbage is solid as well. I am looking forward to trying the goat curry, but I will never leave that place without at least one order of jerk chicken. My only knock is that it's a half hour drive from my house, but the food is worth the effort. The people who run it are very nice as well. This is a gem. read more

I've tried several Jamaican restaurants since moving to Jacksonville. This is the best one! Great service, delicious food and good portions. I didn't get the chance to take a picture of my oxtail and rice and peas because of how delicious it was. read more
