    I have ordered a number of times from Uncle Ralstons on Grub Hub and they cancelled my orders about 20-30 minujtes after I ordered. The last time they lied and said that it was a $15 miniumum when it was $10 on the site. Then when I asked for the owner she admitted that they had no drivers. If they don't have drivers they should not be taking Grub Hub orders. They should not lie to customers. It would be better if they cancelled right away. You waid 30 minutes when your hungry, find out your food isn't coming and have to do it all over again. They offered nothign for the problem and delay just make excuses and lie. Just to show I'm telling the truth the screen caps of the last two orders is below.

    BBQ Jerk Chicken with Collard Greens and Rice & Peas (lunch portion).

    Oddly Uncle Ralston's was recommended to me by the salesman who sold my mother her new car a few months back. Always interested in new food experiences, I bookmarked Uncle Ralston's for future reference. Finally had a chance to stop by and nearly missed it as it's a small restaurant tucked away in a side street. When walking in it's obvious the restaurant is setup pretty much as a take-out business as seating is limited to 5-6 stools lined along one wall of the restaurant with a small counter. Don't take that moniker of a "take-out" restaurant as a negative as the food was delicious and worth any tight seating arrangements or inconveniences. Started off with two starters in the ubiquitous beef patty and the Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese. Beef patty was solid; crispy golden flaky shell with a mildly spiced beef filling. The Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese was delicious. The mac and cheese was creamy, breaded nicely, and fried to a golden crispy shell. The only negative was that I really couldn't discern any chicken in the mac & cheese. I had the BBQ jerk chicken lunch special and it was an absolute bargain at $6. BBQ jerk chicken was on point; spicy and tangy, and the BBQ sauce added a nice sweet flavor that just paired well with the jerk seasoning. Served with your choice of vegetable (chose collard greens), starch (I chose rice and peas), and a drink; it was a pretty sizable container of food and three nice chicken pieces were provided. My sister enjoyed the oxtail lunch special and like my dish it was both tasty (she gave me some pieces to try) and a generous portion. Oxtail was tender with a slight chew and flavored with just enough spice. Definitely a bargain for lunch and thoroughly worth another try!

    Oxtails, rice and peas, cabbage

    Used Grubhub to order lunch from this restaurant for the first time. Everything was delicious! Delivery was speedy and even received a call after order was placed informing us of certain items they didn't have so we can substitute. I got the oxtails which were tender and flavorful and my friend got the BBQ jerk chicken. We also got the mac and cheese (YUM) and beef patties. Would definitely go back and try their other items!

    OX Tail, rice and peas ... Tasteless & dry. So disappointed.

    So I got an oxtail dinner and I wasn't to excited about it at all. I definitely wouldn't order it again from this restaurant. It was tasteless and dry. Hopefully the other meals are tasty. I'm willing to try something else but this was a turn off.

    Update: 9/13/2024: Did this place change hands of management again? Because on Wednesday I ordered…read moreoxtail, curry chicken and a plate of curry goat and it was widely different from the last time I visited a month ago. The food had NO flavor whatsoever - it's as though there was a different cook, it was quite bland. The woman at the front was not friendly, even as I greeted her with a smile and said goodbye with a smile. Still the same unfriendly stance. This is not the same woman I came across a month ago that was friendly. Note to the owner: How you greet your customers makes a huge difference! I have to say how disappointed I am, the food was delicious the last time I was there and now just inedible. Also the curry chicken had chopped small bones, so be wary if you're going to order this dish. I hate to say that I doubt I will be returning and will make the drive down to Asbury when craving Caribbean food. It's unfortunate, but I have to change the rating to 1 star based off of my recent experience. This was a take-out order.

It was close to closing however the order platform was still taking orders. They canceled their order after waiting 30 minutes and didn't even have the decency to give them a call. SMH I'm not surprised based on their ethics. Welp Yelp, my family won't be ordering from here ever again as well! Tip to the owner, customers will come to an establishment with GREAT customer service. Maybe you should try to implement that in your Mission Statement, just FOOD for thought.

    We have been getting take out from Norah's for about a decade and loved every meal…read more Unfortunately I cannot write that about the takeout my husband picked up last night. I ordered beef ox tails which were always in a flavorful brown gravy over white rice with sweet plantains and sautéed cabbage with some mixed vegetables. Last night they were in a sauce that is best described as a sticky, gluey bbq sauce that I have never experienced there in the past. There was just a tiny amount of sautéed cabbage though I was grateful for it as a palate cleanser. One piece of sweet plantain, in all fairness, I did order the small versus a large order. The rice was unpleasant with that dark, sticky sauce already stirred into it so there was no escaping it. (Today I took an entire pint of leftover white rice from a previous oriental meal and stirred it into Norah's rice to make it at least edible though still not delicious like it used to be.) I am extremely disappointed Norah seems to have changed her beef oxtails brown gravy recipe. For me ... it completely changed my opinion about her beef oxtails. I miss how it used to taste.

    There is street parking…read more The owner was friendly and knowledgeable. There was plenty of seating. I ordered 4 items: Oxtail dinner Curry goat roti Oxtail empanada Oxtail& Mac& cheese egg roll The oxtail was the star of the show. The goat was a close second. In my opinion, the oxtail is best savored in dinner rather than in appetizer form. Next time I'm trying jerk chicken some kind of seafood.

I can't say anything bad about this restaurant and I can't wait to try the curry goat......Even though I'm afraid to eat curry goat lol, The owner said, don't be afraid I make it really good. So I will be coming back... you better believe that. I hope you remember me. I'm the blonde girl that said she was afraid of food? Well, I'm not afraid of food anymore after eating your food LOL. By the way, your telephone number is not working. You have to fix that. I tried to call you to say thank you for a wonderful meal, but the phone number did not work. Other than that.

There was a smell of BBQ and curry in the air. I walked down the end of the parking lot and discovered Jamrock. I was not thinking about Jamaican food for dinner, but after smelling the food, I had to try some. I got the curry chicken, white rice, cabbage and corn on the cob. Wow the curry and cabbage were delicious. We also had a beef patty which was also good. I will definitely go back to try some more of their food and you should to.
