For the price it's a steal, the flavors of both dishes were on point, the goat head soup was seasoned right and had a lot of meat, my only problem is the grade of meat and how big the pieces were. I appreciate the hearty soup, but some of the goat pieces were very large and they were cooked down but was dry. The jerk pork flavor was on point imo, but again, the pieces were so large. Nothing was chopped up and a lot of the skin had hair on it. Cheap pork pieces. read more

I tried Vee's and the ackee and saltfish was amazing--the flavor really hit the spot. The only issue was the white rice, which was crispy and burnt on the bottom. I spoke up about it and was told next time they would do better, but I honestly expected a replacement to be offered. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, as I'm concerned the rice might upset me. The ackee was delicious, but the rice experience left me disappointed read more

I frequent this establishment "Vee's" as often as I possibly can in spite of the fact/s it's a bus and a train ride away from my home furthermore, there are various other Jamaican restaurants in between route that I could very well patronize during the course of my commute. And Yet, I appreciate being able to dine in at Vee's if I so prefer including the home cooked Jamaican food especially the curry and jerk chicken to name a few. Thanks Again.

This place is solid. I had a medium jerk chicken with brown rice and it was hittin. The spice flavor of jerk chicken was great. The food tasted fresh and homemade. I like how it was NOT greasy. Open late and takes credit cards. read more

I have fallen in love with Vee's, without ever having visited. Friends recommended Vee's to me over 4 years ago, and I am hooked! While they can sometimes mix up sides, giving you sides that you didn't orde, everything that ultimately makes its way to your home is quite delicious. Vee's is indicative of an owner who takes great pride not only in her service, but her culture and her people, and for that, Brooklyn should be grateful to have this restaurant after all these years. One day, I will pop in and give Ms. Vee, herself, a kiss on the cheek, a hug and a pat on the ass, because she is one fierce, in the words of the children, biatch!!! Yes honey!!! read more

My kids were ravished and wanted West Indian food. I've gone to Vee's in the past and it was close to the eye doctors office we just left. After being there for 2 hours I figured that would be the best option. I quickly regretted coming here. I wanted to go somewhere else but my daughter insisted - since she was feeling starved and cranky. The line wasn't long but there's absolutely no structure. You don't know who's ordered because every one's standing around. They don't have a capacity policy and the best part PEOPLE WALK IN WITH NO DAMN MASK! Yes, you heard me correctly. I saw three people stand on the line way AFTER ME standing close to people unmasked. i ordered our food and waited, and waited and waited as 5 other customers I ordered beforehand picked up their food and headed out. i only ordered a curry chicken with rice and peas and a side salad and the other order was a small fried chicken with rice and peas and oxtail gravy. When I went to ask when my order would be ready. The cashier said, "oh boy I forgot to put in your order!" wide eyed I asked for a refund and then she says, "Sorry your food is coming out right now" of course that was a lie. 10 mins later the owner brings out the food. My kids were so hungry we grabbed a corner table with a juice and water to stay. After sanitizing the table and then my kids they dug in. My daughter said she would never tell me no again if I suggested someplace else. Personally i wanted to go to Vivvid on Ave D. I promise I won't be retuning to Vee's. You've been warned! I don't care how good the food is they don't have good customer service, policies in place for unmasked guest or remorse for guest that wait a Ridiculous amount of time for simple meal. $18.51 could've been spent elsewhere. read more

I was there two years ago or so, back when they were still on nostrand Ave. Incredible, delicious pan fried chicken. Most miserable attitude I've ever encountered, and not just once. Several times. It's almost like they were doing you a favor by selling you good food. Thanks anyway read more

We have been longtime supporters of Vee's restaurant, from the time of her original location on Nostrand between Montgomery and Empire (even prior to the expansion). My family has always enjoyed the food, leaving her restaurant as a reliable, affordable, and easy option for dinner after busy evenings. With this history, Vee's has been a well-loved staple in my household for Jamaican food in the area. My only qualms come in the current location, which offers less than half of the dining room space offered before(not on the fault of the business at all). As Vee's remains a staple in the community, her large dining room capacity was a highlight of coming, the ability to enjoy a meal in the establishment being a large drawing point to patrons. We still know of people who continue to dine-in at the current location, however this was a main attraction for my family's continued presence. Hopefully in the future, she can look to expand the size of her restaurant once more. Besides that, it is the same great service and flavor under Ms. Vee's ownership that kept us coming for years. read more

Vee,s have some of the best Jamaican food in bk. I've been coming to Vee's for 18 years, even when I moved out of New York once I visit this is my go to spot for Jerk pork. Service is quick and the customer service has gotten better over the years. read more

plantains wasnt fresh, festival smell like it was fried in fish oil. Sauce from liver was not fresh

Food okay; portions small. The worst amount of food of all nationalities. Spanish, Asian, American and Italians all have better services and portions. Disgraceful. read more

The food is not that tasty and the customer service is bad. The ladies behind the counter are never welcoming. read more

I decided to try this restaurant while I worked in the area. The restaurant is very clean and there is COVID supplies like hand sanitizer available for guests. At my first visit I purchased the jerk pork lunch special. Every component was well seasoned and flavorful. The lunch special seemed small but the container was packed. The next day I purchased the stew chicken as the lunch special and I was just as satisfied. I prefer salad and cabbage and a small amount of rice as sides and the staff obliged. Vee's is one of my favorites read more

This is one of the most unprofessional restaurant there is, it's Slow & unorganized. The owner sits there and sleeps. Then wakes up to giving commands but does nothing to clear a line. They are over priced and the food is sub par. Nothing special about here. Ordered a stew fish. They give you one damn slice of fish and have the damn nerve to charge a person 15 dollars. FOR WHAT!!!! Never will they get my money again for food. Too many attitudes . You spend 15 minutes online then 15 minutes waiting for food because people just walk up and collect a phone order like a line isn't there.. some places don't deserves customers and this is one of them. They need to get it together. read more

The most authentic Jamaican food you can get. No bells bo whistles just amazing food with deep flavors. The one caveat is the service. Its a typical jamaican takeout so dont mind the attitudes or lack of attentiveness. Just enjoy the food. read more

Loved Vee's! I wanted authentic Jamaican food and I got it ! The jerk pork was delish! Got the small plate but it's a big size! Also tried the special which was curry shrimp. So good! One thing I tried for the first time and loved was the festival corn fritter! So good! read more

I'd walked past dozens of times when Vee's was part of a tiny strip next to Associated, which was torn down last year. I'm happy to report that they secured a new spot up the street just north on Nostrand near Carroll Street. I was really fiending for some good jerk and at a place that I could get out of the cold to sit down in. I ordered the jerk pork with rice and peas, cabbage, plantains, a small salad, and a Mountain Dew. You order at the counter and pay, then your staff will deliver the food to your table. It was doing good business with I stopped in from the cold. I like that they have a station to load up on napkins, which also had little plastic sauce containers to take some hot peppers and carrots to put on your meal. I'm big on pepper sauce and fresh peppers on my food. The eat-in food is served on plates and silverware, like most restaurants. The rice and peas were piping hot and tasted fresh. The jerk pork was moist and had just the right heat to it. For $10.49, you can't really go wrong. It made me wonder why I hasn't stopped in before. Jerk, while abundant in these parts, isn't necessarily easy to come by and even harder to find a place where you an sit down. I'll be back to try the chicken! read more

Vee's is the community restaurant! Healthy family meals, great variety and hours of business.

I don't often leave reviews, but this experience warranted one. I used to frequent Vee's Jamaican restaurant back when they were on Nostrand and Montgomery, dating back to the 90's. I recently moved to Florida and I'm here in NY visiting. I was in the mood for some stew peas, I went on Uber eats and Vee's popped up. I ordered from them couple weeks ago and was a little disappointed that the tomato in their salad was spoiled, and it made me lose my appetite, even though the food was good. However, tonight I said, "let me give them another chance". As a restaurant owner myself I understand there are times an order is not going to be 100% perfection. Anyway, put in my order with Uber eats, paid tip and booking fees, my total was damn near $40. I order 2 large stew peas and a small Fried chicken dinner. When the stew peas arrived my husband and I looked at each other and wondered if they made a mistake. I called Vee's and the person on the phone confirmed it was indeed stew peas and she is the one that packed it. So now we are here wondering what to do with this food. It isn't authentic Jamaican stew peas. We attempted to eat some, after 2 to 3 bites, I called back the restaurant and told them there's no way we can eat this. It also had ginger and my husband is allergic to ginger. The person on the phone told us we can come back, and they will change it to something else. When I arrived (Which I had to take the train there, another $2.75) The person who was answering the calls left for the night. I specifically asked her, are you sure they will replace this food? I got there and the owner asked me what is the problem? I explained to her this does not look or taste like stew peas. She said well it is. So I told her I don't like it and it has ginger in it and my husband is allergic. The little old hag started raising her voice at me, and told me she is not going to replace it, she then asked me if I know how to cook? I remained calm, as this old Bat insulted me in front of her customers. So I left the food there, she and her staff can eat it. So unfortunately, in these hard times I just donated $40 to vees. Your food sucks and you will not see my family and friends there again. Maybe after 20 years its time for you to resign, close up shop and call it a day. Old people lose their cooking skills when they age. read more

The food is authentic and great. The service is speedy as well. I ordered a platter of rice and peas and the guy in the back assisted me in getting the food in the car read more

The food is elite & they accept apple pay. The only problem for me is that there was not any homemade sorrel but thats probably at the time I went so they get a pass for that. I will definitely revisit them soon because the taste, portions & prices are phenomenal. Also, take it easy on the women working, they stand for as long as the store is open sacrificing time trying to decipher what you are saying through a mask serving nonstop orders offline/online. Be courteous, Be kind read more

Tried Vee's at their new location. The Curry Goat and Jerk Chicken are delicious! We met the owner who was very kind and invited us back. We definitely will! read more

WHO: party of 2 WHY: dinner WHAT: (Deets) combo jerk chicken and jerk pork (rice & peas, fresh green salad), small jerk pork dinner (rice & peas) my sorority sister told me about this restaurant because of her love of the jerk chicken. She described it as "rotisserie style", and I can testify! It is hand waving, testimony-worthy delicious. It is wonderfully juicy and flavorful. It has peppery/jerk bite, but is mild enough to actually complete without regular sips of a large glass of a cold beverage. For those who enjoy extra heat, on each table is pepper sauce. To drink, I opted for sorrel, no ice. Again, perfection. WHEN: evening 5/8/17 WHERE: dine in HOW: car/ bike/ public transportation bus trains BATHROOM: roomy (2 stall, separate gender) WIFI: beats me DRESS CODE: as you like SERVICE: excellent excellent excellent. I forgot our server's name, but she was youthful, kind, attentive and responsive. BOTTOM LINE: I'm here every few months. Don't be fooled by it's back home, humble appearance, the food that comes out of that kitchen is magnificent! TIP: get the jerk chicken and sorrel read more

If you want real West Indian food without that Gladis fancy look and overpriced stuff, come here. Really nice food, decent service and authentic atmosphere. The pork and jerk chicken were delicious. read more

I wouldn't mind hearing from the Yelp ethicists on the etiquette of reviewing a restaurant after attempting to dine there but being rebuffed. When the place wasn't especially busy, several workers didn't take my order and didn't acknowledge my existence. At least one customer who arrived after me was deemed worthy of service. So if a one-star rating for a restaurant whose food I didn't try is too "get off my lawn" for community consensus, I understand and will hit the delete button. I can say at least that the service is as bad as it gets, and that my original intent was to have some food. read more

Delicious food, but HORRIBLE service. The food is already prepared and yet you have to wait at least 30 minutes to get your food. Workers are extremely slow and always have an attitude. Again, Delicious food but patience is needed. read more

I love Vee's. I come here often late at night and their curry chicken is divine. The attitudes are annoying but it's never personal. I don't dine in but I would never. It's a grab and go kind of place. Also I met "Vee" a few weeks ago and she didn't have an attitude at all. My advice is to order from the counter and go. read more

Vee's Restaurant - Curry Chicken, Rice & Beans, Salad and Plantains - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Highly recommend the ackee and saltfish for a filling breakfast. Actually new to the area so I was happy to find a Vee's. Running to the bakeries in the morning for this platter was a morning staple. read more

The food is always good and hot. The prices per portion size are honestly a great deal compared to other West Indian restaurants. Dishes are prepared somewhat more rapidly than other West Indian restaurants that I have tried, so you aren't waiting 20 minutes for your order. They also tend to do a pretty decent job of not running out of food before the end of the night which seems to be one of the biggest issues that you face when you visit these types of restaurants later in the evening. The customer service is typical for the Brooklyn West Indian community (take that however you want). The jerk chicken is very good. It's a nice dry run applied to the chicken and not an overly saucy non- authentic taste and feel. The curry goat is also a must try. I'm a big fan of sweet plantains but I must say that there's are very average. They're not bad but not as good some other places that I've tried. Meals are also typically served with a little "side salad" aka some lettuce a tomato slice and a bit of cucumber packed atop your rice and peas. read more

The food is still the best...but I will say that customer service over the years has gotten better. It was only right that I come on here and update my review. read more

Really great food. Curry goat,pigtails was tasty. Really authentic Caribbean food. I ordered with Door dash, it was great

Vee's is my go-to for oxtail and brown stew chicken. Glad they moved up closer to the parkway.

I love stew peas and their ackee & salt fish breakfast. The wait can be a drag at times but I've had moments where I'm in and out. Food is always hot and fresh and well seasoned. read more

Growing up in a predominantly west Indian neighborhood, you have an understanding that if the food is amazing the lady at the register is going to have an attitude. The food is amazing especially the breakfast ( I get saltfish with boiled dumpling) read more

This is a hidden gem in Brooklyn . Stay open late and they make a great curry goat, oxtail etc.... It's in the heart of crown heights and it shows that they put heart and soul into the cooking . A great spot to grab and go read more

Came here for lunch the other day and based on previous reviews I expected good food but not so good customer service. Well...the customer service was definitely lacking, which I wasn't surprised by because this is a thing when you go to west indian restaurants. The lady at the counter literally turned her back to me & began talking after giving the previous customer her food. She then turned around & asked if I had ordered. Ma'am...of course I haven't seeing that she was the only person taking orders. Ok, fine. I order curry goat, something I haven't had in a while, so I was excited (again based on previous reviews). I get home and while the goat itself was tasty and tender. It was the driest meal I've ever had....not a lick of gravy anywhere. My dry meal was accompanied by one dry, tough piece of plantain & a salad. I was in the neighborhood so I stopped in but never again. read more

Food is on the ok side if you're really hungry, but service will turn you off, the servers always have a attitude as if they don't understand if the customers stop coming the restaurant will do poorly. 2 stars for the food read more
