Came in around 11:15 AM on a Monday while looking for good lunch spots near my new job. This is the…read moreclosest Jamaican restaurant to my workplace, so I decided to check it out. The sign doesn't say the actual name it just says "Jamaican Restaurant". I was greeted by a friendly woman who mentioned her son is the owner. I loved the family vibe. I asked if they had steamed veggies, but they didn't, so I ordered the fried chicken lunch special with rice and cabbage. I also asked for oxtail gravy on top. The chicken was good and the oxtail gravy had a nice little kick. Definitely made me curious to try the actual oxtail next time. My only complaints: the rice was on the hard side and the portion was pretty small, especially for a Caribbean restaurant. The chicken also seemed more like one thigh cut in half, rather than the typical quarter piece you get with a lunch special elsewhere. Overall, the flavor was good. But more generous portions and softer rice would make it better. Still, I might go back to try the oxtail!

The front desk at our hotel recommended JRK!, and wow... she did not steer us wrong…read more When we travel, we always try to eat local food--never something we can get back home--so we were excited to try this spot. It's located inside a nearby mall, which turned out to be high-end and really beautiful. We grabbed an Uber and headed over. The food absolutely hit the spot. We ordered three bowls with jerk chicken and rice and another bowl with curry chicken and spicy rice. Everything was fantastic and the portions were generous--definitely worth the price. When we ordered they had just served their last portion of oxtail, which was a bit of a bummer because that's what I originally wanted. But while we were eating, I noticed the line never stopped and the server was constantly plating food. That's always a great sign that a place is doing something right. They actually did replenish the oxtail shortly after... but by then we were already full. We also grabbed a rum cake and it was a 1000 out of 10. Must try! The only downside is that it's located inside the mall. It would be amazing to experience the full vibe in a standalone restaurant setting with maybe an even larger menu. But clearly they're doing something right because the line never stopped the entire time we were there. Highly recommend!

One thing that will always frustrate me is bad customer service, especially at a Black-owned…read moreestablishment where Caribbean people go specifically to support one another. At 3:07 PM, I called and spoke with a woman to place a pickup order: one fried fish and one oxtail with rice and peas and plantains. I was told plantains are not served until 5 PM, so I said that was fine and switched the side to steamed vegetables. She clarified it would be steamed cabbage, and I agreed. I then asked my father to pick up the food. He arrived at 3:39 PM, more than 30 minutes later, and the staff acted as though they had no idea what he was talking about. He called me asking if I had actually placed the order because they were telling him they didn't have it. I asked him to put me on speaker so I could speak with them. When I asked the woman why the order wasn't ready after being placed over 30 minutes earlier, she rudely replied, "Well you didn't talk to me. I don't answer phones." Excuse me? I don't know your internal process, but I do know I called and spoke with someone for about two minutes placing that order. I certainly didn't imagine it. I initially told my father to just leave, but since he was already there he asked them to make the order. I repeated the order to the woman and the call ended. I then called back and got the same woman again, as I recognized her voice. I explained the situation and she sighed deeply before saying, "Let me see because I'm here now." She put the phone down, I heard rummaging in the background, and then she came back and said, "He already placed the order." Ma'am, that was not what I asked. The question was why the order was never placed and ready for pickup when I called it in over 30 minutes earlier. Her response was simply, "Oh well I don't know, but the order is made now." At that point I told her I would be leaving a review. If I could leave zero stars for service, I would. The only reason this review is getting two star is because the food actually tastes good and they're a Caribbean restaurant. However, customer service matters. Being rude and dismissive when a customer politely asks about their order is completely unnecessary. A simple acknowledgment or accountability would have prevented this entire situation. My favorite Jamaican restaurant, Maam Jamaican Restaurant on Ives Dairy, closed and I was really sad about it. I also really miss the sweet oxtail flavor they used to have. I've been craving oxtails, and since they're closed and I wouldn't be cheating on them anymore, so I decided to give this place a try. Unfortunately, the seasoning wasn't too good on either dish, but the food was very fresh. Unfortunately, I will not be returning nor recommending this restaurant, and I will also be sharing this experience on other platforms.

I walked over 15 minutes specifically to try this place, and unfortunately, it was a complete…read moreletdown. Despite arriving well before closing, they were completely out of sides. I was initially told by the woman at the counter to wait for cabbage after she went to the back to confirm only to find out later that there was none coming. Customer service was average at best. When I expressed my frustration, they brushed it off, saying the sides are "free," so it supposedly doesn't matter if they're unavailable. But here's the thing I would've ordered a larger plate had I known sides weren't an option. When I said that, the employee told me the large just comes with "one to two more pieces of meat and extra rice" for a higher price which honestly felt like a scam. To top it off, another customer chimed in saying this happens all the time they always run out of sides, even with their overpriced meals. Yet, they still charge you full price for a partial meal. That's unacceptable. Between the lack of transparency, poor customer service, sketchy building setup, and over $20 wasted, I can confidently say I won't be returning. Save your time and money.

I ordered the boss plate with the ribs and the griot. It came with Haitian mac & cheese, fry, plantains, and rice. The grill itself what's OK, Flavorful but a letter on the dryer side. The ribs were pretty good juicy, but not fall off the bone. The rice was a little bland and the green plantains were OK as well. The best part of the entire meal with the mac & cheese, which was one of the best Haitian mac & cheese I've ever had. Overall, the plate was solid. We also had order aside of honey, garlic chicken wings, about three pieces, and those were pretty OK as well, but not something I would order again . To drink, we took their mystery drink, which we had no idea what it was, but it was extremely sweet so definitely had to be watered down.

Server was so nice and food was ready when we arrived. The place is small, very clean and relaxed vibe. We tried this place cuz its rates really well online. I was not disappointed. We tried a few different types of wings and none of us agreed on our favorites! So that's good because it means there's something for everyone. Here were the wings we tried: 1) jerk pineapple- my favorite, not too spicy , not too sweet, not overly saucy, and just delicious 2) mango habanero- a little spicy, a little sweet. Very tasty. Maybe a little too much sauce for me 3) sweet and spicy- I also like this one , it was similar in spice to the spicy habanero but not as sweet. 4) spicy lemon pepper- this I did not like. It was too sour and too peppery. As for the sides and drinks... the fries were just fine , the mozzarella sticks were bad, but the guava pineapple juice was AMAZING!! All in all I will definitely come back.

I am going to admit, I was skeptical of this new restaurant since it replaced Big Slick's Deli,…read morewhich was a delightful sandwich and grill restaurant. I had been salty about Big Slick's having closed, but it is time to move on. I saw some photos of the food from Bella's and decided to try it before remaining salty, so I ordered food for pickup tonight. They're on your usual delivery apps and have website ordering. I walked in before 8 PM and was a little surprised that there were 2 people separately eating in the restaurant. It had lounge lighting and decor, but it looked casual, since you still would place an order and pay at the front counter (still has the deli setup). To tell you how deserted the counter was, a child was sitting on the stool and had to get a staff member from the back in order for her to give me my order. I left wishing it were a little more happening, especially with the setup. But the food? Wonderful. I got to Griot Parmesan, which is griot (fried pork) and pikliz topping parmesan alfredo penne. THIS is ultimate comfort food! The penne had the great rounded flavor of parmesan and garlic without being overly creamy or heavy, the griot was so tender and evaporated that the fat on it was melty, and the pikliz was a tremendous accent to the dish with its spicy vinegar flavor. I can't remember the last time I liked alfredo pasta so much. It looks to me like Bella's is churning out some lovely Caribbean food. I hope this place gets more exposure so that more people can try it out for themselves!
