Curry chicken with rice and peas, mac & cheese with garlic mash for sides with corn bread.
Robert N.

Definitely would come back here and try more food. The curry chicken with rice & peas fire(i wish the rice was a bit softer). Garlic mash potatoes flavorful & creamy, the mac & cheese is really good. The chicken is fall of the bone and juicy. The corn bread is so good I had to get another one to go and the hush puppies tasted great. It's a must to try here. Service is great, the place is clean and quiet when sitting in to eat.

My friend saw this place on TikTok and wanted to try it since we were in the area - And honestly, she had me sold at fried ribs!! We walked in and the line moved pretty quick, we were greeted by the friendly cashier who was so nice and great at making recommendations! This is a black owned business and boy have they hit mark with customer service! Love to see it!! I asked what was her favorite items on the menu and she mentioned a few things one of which was oxtail so I decided to go with that, and also ordered wings for the boy's and fried ribs to take home. They had delicious side choices and such a variety that it was hard to choose. For each meal you can choose either 1 side or two. I selected mashed potatoes, turkey greens, Mac n cheese, Candied yams. They were all delicious and the yams in my opinion were just okay, I felt like they were a little more firm than I like and were a bit under seasoned (not as sweet), however my friend loved them that way - So, I guess it depends on your palette. My friend ordered the fried ribs and a bunch of sides which were - potatoe salad, fried okra, white rice with oxtail gravy, turkey greens and the yams. She loved all her sides and stated the greens were just okay - I happened to really enjoy the greens. Listen, we sat at our table by the window and patiently waited for our names to be called. This place isn't that big, they are four seater tables and very limited room, so I can see them filling up pretty quickly on a busy night, I didn't like that they had the heat on because it gets really warm really quick in small spaces. Conversations also overlap each other as again the space is tight, but clean and efficient! "Order for Stephanie" - I grabbed my food that was staked nicely and placed in a black plastic bag, the food is served in Styrofoam to go containers but we decided to dine in cause we were hungry. I did not get to photograph the food because we all sat at that tiny table and inhaled almost all of it! The food was fresh, seasoned to perfection and just oh so delicious! The oxtail - 10/10 - Seasoned to perfection, tender fall off the bones, served over a bed of rice and beans and plantains, this was in addition to the two other sides it came with, all for about $24 which in my opinion is a steal. The fried ribs - 8/10 - These were also seasoned to perfection and served with a carolina sauce, the meat was tender and falling off the bones. $16+ tax with two sides. The fried chicken wings - 10/10 - When asked about the wings my 7yr old said "Thumbs Up Mom". - They were beautifully golden brown and fried to perfection! He also really enjoyed the mashed potatoes. We also ordered dessert, my friend had the birthday cake with sprinkles and I had the strawberry cake! Both were outstanding! I managed to take a photo of the remnants of my strawberry cake... So happy we got to try this spot out, Support this black business! Friendly staff, clean establishment, fast service, fresh delicious food that tastes like it was made with love, go get you some!

Fried ribs
Naima M.

This was AWFUL they forgot our sauces, the ribs are terrible, and the fish sandwich looked like it came from someones house.. will not order from here again. We were so excited to try and my sister couldnt even eat her ribs. It states it comes with a savory sauce drizzle and mine was supposed to come with tartar.

Oxtail with Rice & Peas, Candied Yams, & Baked Macaroni & Cheese...
Tee C.

When I say they put their whole foot in this food, I mean it. (For those of you who don't understand what that means, it means the food is REALLY REALLY good). I had been craving oxtails and was at an event around the corner so I decided to pick up dinner. I had the oxtails with candied yams and Mac & cheese with rice and peas. It was amazing! It reminded me of family gatherings. The oxtails were tender and the gravy was perfect! I will definitely come back. The customer service was excellent! 10/10 definitely recommend.

Plantains
LA T.

This place is great! We were greeted immediately by the young lady at the front entrance. Our food was served within 10 minutes. My partner loved his oxtails and sides. The rice was a bit too spicy for him but he loved the food overall. I had Cajun catfish. It was cooked to perfection though I couldn't taste the Cajun seasoning. I loved the plantain. They were room temperature as the rest of my meal was made fresh. I'd go back!

Oxtail combo, Baked Macaroni & Cheese, Turkey Collards& Plantains
Sherena S.

The Plantains were the star of the show. 10/10. Mac and cheese was sweet, and didn't give baked. Didn't really like it. Collards were just alright. This is not my first time here. First time my oxtails were soooo good. This time around not so much. I'm guessing it's just a hit or miss kinda restaurant. Not much of an ambiance but they did have a good gospel playlist and The service was really good. I loved the people working there!

menu
Natika G.

I love discovering new restaurants! After getting my brows done I noticed this amazing spot. Soul food and Caribbean food in one location. They offer wings, fish, tenders, jerk chicken and so many yummy sides. Prices are very affordable and you get a lot of food for the price. Service is amazing. The food is cooked to order so call ahead or plan to wait. The food is fresh and flavorful and pretty darn good! The Mac and cheese is moist and cheesy. Just how I like it. The inside is clean and sleeked. I can't wait to try other menu items!

Food, excellent. Service, exceptional. Only 10min wait . Wish I could have given more than 5 stars!! My only complaint was eating off of a spork. Now excuse me while I squeeze into my tiny shirt as my big back has no room.

Catfish entree
Tiffany F.

Service was good and young lady at the counter was welcoming and personable. She informed us of about 4 things on the menu that we couldn't order because they were out. The fried ribs being one. I appreciate her telling us ahead of time. We wanted to try the fried ribs though. We ordered the Cajun catfish w fries, fried shrimp, and chicken wings. The food was so salty I could feel my whole body swelling up. It would have been so much better and enjoyable had they been a little less heavy handed on the seasoning. If you don't mind a bit of hypertension, then you'll find the food tasty.

Rochelle W.

Excellent food , atmosphere and service! I saw this place Tik Tok and Instagram. I live in Fayetteville and I had an event to attend in Durham and decided to stop by 'Vittles at the Park', best choice I could have made! Honey Siracha breaded wings (8)/crisp, tasty, Baked Mac n cheese/creamy and cheesy, Turkey Collard Greens/well seasoned ,roll...it was all Delicious! Shout out to kind, helpful with suggestions and welcoming cashier Alexis!

Stew Chicken meal

Very disappointed in the stew chicken as I was only provided chicken back in my meal. There was way to much gravy and soggy rice and peas. The highlight was the Mac and cheese but, the yams taste like it came out of a can

I bought two flounder sandwiches, they both were overly salty. The pork chop and garlic mashed potatoes were really good.

The food here is soooooo good. I got a large portion of the brown stew chicken with rice & peas and…read moremac & cheese. $20 for the chicken with 2 sides, and a $3 upcharge for the mac & cheese. The chicken is dark meat served on the bone - and by on the bone, I mean falling off the bone, it's so tender and moist. There are also some carrots and potato bits in the gravy, and I would happily eat a whole bowl of just those. The rice and peas (beans) were perfectly cooked. When I ordered through the Toast tab screens they have set up, it gave the option of indicating whether and how much gravy you'd like on the rice. I did the standard amount, which I think is just right, as the rice balances out the saltiness of the gravy. The mac & cheese was also really good - creamy, with some chewy baked cheese crust, and a hint of tanginess. The large portion was a ton of food. I shared my plate with my toddler, who loved the chicken, and it would be enough for at least one more meal. I also got a chicken patty, which had a curried chicken filling that brought a bit of heat. Too spicy for little kids, but not so spicy that I was hurting from eating it. We ate in the restaurant, which is clean with several tables. It's counter service, and it seems like they pack everything as if it's to go, even if you dine in. For folks with kids, they do have a single high chair. I don't remember seeing a changing table in the ladies room.

Let me tell you, nothing about this place was unassuming or basic... IT WAS INCREDIBLE. From the service (warm , helpful & friendly) to the perfectly cooked food. We were impressed! Best curried goat I've ever eaten and the jerk chicken is done as it should be! Whether you get the rice and peas or the yellow rice, you can't go wrong bc both were fantastic and full of flavor. The collard greens had SO MUCH FLAVOR, I could eat a big bowl by itself! We can't wait to come back and get the oxtails and some other menu items, I think we will be very happy with anything they cook here!

"Delicious Honduran food just south of I-85 on Guess Rd in Durham"…read more Came here on a Saturday evening a little after 6pm-- this is the building that used to be "Pad Thai" a few years ago. There's parking out front, but not a ton, and a bit more along the side. Inside, there's a counter by the door with a register and mints (and probably where one would pickup takeout), but you wait to get seated. The place was bright with interesting Central American paintings and lively music. A few tables were taken but it was hardly what I'd call "busy". I ordered the Tajada con carne molida (fried plantains with ground beef) off the "Honduran menu". My dining partner had a creamy chicken mofongo. We also had Jarritos sodas-- I got the pineapple and she had the tamarind. One awkwardness was that the menu didn't have any prices, but I assumed (correctly) that nothing would be crazy expensive that we ordered (though weirdly the tamarind and pineapple Jarritos were different prices). Service was good-- although English was a second language, our server made do, accurately took our order, and was attentive. As other reviewers noted, this is not a speedy place-- I think it was at or maybe over 20 minutes to get our food, but that was fine. Both dishes were really good. The creamy sauce on the mofongo was to-die-for... so yummy. And I enjoyed my plantain/ beef dish-- my dining partner said it was somewhat analogous to "nachos" in a funny way, and she's not wrong. The plantains were pretty stiff-- almost like plantain chips, but still yummy, and the beef and accompaniments were excellent (see photo). The quantity was HUGE-- both of us had enough easily for a second meal. Price wasn't bad-- with the drinks and tax and tip, it was slightly over $50 total. Overall, I'm very happy we tried this place, and I have every intention of coming back.

Came here after the Durham Farmers Market with a friend and wow this place was a surprise. …read more I went with the grain bowl and honestly it is one of the best I have had in downtown Durham. It is built on quinoa and rice with black beans and kale, then layered with corn salsa, tomato cortido, guacamole, and a creamy acevichado style sauce that pulls everything together. It is finished with a crunchy mix of pepitas, nuts, and grains. The balance is quite ideal in my view. My friend had the rotisserie chicken with two sides, kale and slaw, and it was just as impressive. Crispy skin, juicy inside, and really clean flavors. Simple food done right and GF friendly. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared. Prices land right where you would expect for the quality, roughly 16 to 21 dollars depending on what you order, and it feels worth it. My bowl plus side of dark chicken was plenty. A few notes. Parking is what you would expect for downtown, so plan accordingly. Service was solid and friendly, but nothing that stood out. The vibe inside is festive and relaxed, bright and open, and just a fun place to hang out for lunch. Porbably not a special occasion. I also suspect it could get loud when full. This is definitely going into my regular rotation. That grain bowl is going to be hard to pass up next time, so instead of replacing it I will probably just add a side or an empanada and start working my way through the rest of the menu.

This place was amazing. We tried both the brisket and chicken sandwich, and they did not…read moredisappoint.

With their big lunch boxes, and delicious food, Jamaica Jamaica got me hooked on Jamaican/Caribbean food and I consider it one of my favorite cuisines. I'd say my Jamaica Jamaica life could be split into 3 segments, in which I would always get the same thing no matter what. My first phase was the curry chicken - such a fantastic dish with chicken that came off the bone, a vibrant curry sauce, and potatoes and carrots to round out the dish. When you paired it with rice, cabbage and plantains, it was an almost perfect meal. My second phase was the curry shrimp, I was always enticed by having a seafood option. The flavors of the curry shrimp were the same as the curry chicken, except the vegetables varied. I enjoyed this dish too, but I would say the biggest issue would be that the shrimp sometimes got really soft after sitting out for some time. My current phase is their Jerk chicken. I would say that their Jerk chicken is unique because they make the chicken, but they let it sit in a sauce that soaks up the seasoning. This is a great topper for my rice, but I think it contributes to the fact that the Jerk chicken is definitely not as flavorful as I know it to be. It misses the mark on bringing the heat, it has some flavor and heat but it is very very mild in my opinion. Generally speaking, I would be aware of the Jerk chicken drying out. This has happened to me on an occasion or two, along with the rice being dry too. Outside the realm of food, I would say the interior could use a little work. The furniture is a bit dated and things are cluttered. However, the staff working there is nice and they always pack the food in a big to-go container, so you can bring it back to the office, and then home because they are not shy about the portions. Glad that hasn't changed!
