Prime locale for events in the park. I met my friend prior to the opening of the event. It was suggested that we make a reservation. Surprisingly it was not filled. Low lighting and good tunes. We ordered a libation and then a bite. I finished my appetizer of lobster ravioli. My friend packed the rasta pasta to go for lunch and dinner. The portion was tremendous and I was advised filled with flavor. There was quite a wait from placing the order to receiving our cuisine. The food was delicious. read more

For a Thursday night it was certainly fun! The restaurant was decorated so beautifully with pink flowers blending so nicely with the dimly lit interior. Our hostess was nice, helpful and her timing was good. As you can see the presentation of the food was good and it tasted great also. The Wild Onion Rum Punch had me in a chokehold! read more

I went out for late lunch with a friend and this place looks cool and quite nice ambiance. It happens to be my friend best places to eat some Jamaican cuisine. Appetizers I ordered was horrible, which doesn't make any sense to me, tastes awful like frozen and spoiled. Nope I cld not eat that. Tried the mussels, which was batter than my crab cake. Tasted fresh and delicious with dried out toasted bread. What happen to freshly baked toasted dough. I thought things cld get better with my main meal which was curry chicken with rice and peas, it was tasteless. And I was very disappointed and was ready to leave but the waiter never showed up for a long time. I would rate food nada for me, cool ambiance for hangout and service wasn't great as well. Pls, have ppl that cares about your business and are willing to put in their best while at work. I will not be going back and will recommend so you can experience yourself. And cld be a different story for someone that like to drink and hangout because it's a nice joint. read more

Customer service stinks. I ordered food for pick up. I was told 20 minutes it took over an hour. They are on a busy street with bus lane. No explanation , just we working on It. wasted my time, I was very upset. People call and place an order for pick up because they don't have the time to wait. The front of the restaurant could use some TLC. read more

Wild Onion is a lively spot on Merrick Blvd. I began going there for their delicious seafood. I've gone back for the ambiance and party vibes especially during the warmer months. Service is always friendly. Definitely an asset to the area. read more

I literally went to the spot for happy hour specials on a tuesday, ordered shrimp tacos and rum punch. The tacos were literally ranch dressing and lettuce on a tortilla lmao they took one shrimp sliced into small and put on the taco. I asked the server and she said shrimp was in there. They took half a shrimp and diced it into small pieces for one taco. I was so disgusted black business really doing that to their own people. My friend said it was disgusting I couldnt even eat it. Most disappointing when you wanna support a new place and they cut corners trying to get over on people. I could go to a traditional mexican restaurant and get 5$ shrimp tacos theres no way yall can be that cheap . read more

Vibe was on point,great music, clean,and drinks fire,and food was even better 10/10 recommend

the food--that you do get--is GREAT! it's just disappointing that the menu is essentially outdated. i've been twice and each time there's been so many menu items not available (have only been during lunch hours, maybe dinner/late night is different?). emphasizing again though that the food is delicious! only go here if you are feeling patient :) ambiance is stellar, it's a spacious and well decorated, yet cozy location. great for watching televised events or catching up with friends. service is okay, how often you're checked on is very dependent on who you get. that said, they're all very polite! the seasoned servers were especially charismatic. read more

I live close by and always get take out but decided to dine in this time so I can enjoy it hot and fresh. The food was good but not better than the classics like the curry goat and stew chicken, I also think it might have been made with dairy not coconut milk. The bar was full so I sat at a table, ended up paying up front because the menu prices are a little different from how much they really coast but they let you know that as soon as you walk in. Definitely up and coming, so I'd definitely give it another shot. read more

Do not order the soup... for some reason you buy a large soup, they only give you broth water no meat, no noodles, no veggies NOTHING just broth water.... CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU LEAVE ! ! ! ! you will get all the way home and be PISSED !!!!!!! read more

Wild Onion - RIP OFF SOUP - Caribbean Near Me - Queens, New York

I was very disappointed. It was about 9:30 at night and although I had stew least at home, I just wanted to pick up something quick and satisfying after the show across the street at the park. They told which meals were made to order and which weren't. I ordered a jerk pork because, supposedly, it was one of the options that should be serve and go. I waited about 20 minutes and as I waited, I couldn't help but to think that they were reheating it from the fridge. Surely enough, I got home and could tell that it was definitely reheated. It was luke warm and I could tell that's what they were doing. I'm a leftover queen so I was highly disappointed that instead of going home and eating my own leftovers, I got it from a restaurant and had to wait so long that I could've been home and eating my own food by then. It didn't even taste great. Definitely a let down. read more

First impressions are everything! I've been here 3 x's now and have not been disappointed once. This is Authentic Jamaican cuisine. Some menu options are a spin off of Jamaican Style food combined with another ethnicity. Like the Salt fish Tostones. Wild onion has it going on. Rasta Pasta with Shrimp was hitting. The Wild onion snapper is soooo good. And the mussels are a must have. The music is bumping and it is a really nice dining experience. NYC come on out to Wild Onion read more

Went here last night with a group of friends and family. Took 20 minutes for someone to come take our order, which never came. We were given a broken hookah pipe to smoke from. The waitresses attitudes were DISGUSTING. They were rolling their eyes and talking super low meanwhile the music was blasting so they KNOW its hard to hear. We sat for 45 mins and all we got was hookah! Never received our drinks or anything ! They had games behind the dj booth, we took it to play and then they proceeded to say games weren't allowed. Literally a waste of time and money. Highly do not recommend. The nicest person was the security guard at the door. Everyone else was just rude for no reason whatsoever. read more

So I can only imagine how many times I will probably be back. My order was a rundown fish with veggies. Oh wow they wowed me with every flavor imaginable. Ok the young lady who served me was pleasant and had no attitude is I wondered how good the food would have been!! You know what they say... Hmmm hm The jaw dropping texture, and taste was better than I even imagined. Hats off the chef! I wonder if he's married? I had 2 servings out of the meal. The price was a side-eye moment but it was worth it. read more

so the family wanted to order from this place, im like sure why not, im in the mood for Caribbean food. I highly doubt I would order from this place again. My sister ordered curry shrimp and they gave her the wrong shrimp. My brother in law ended up throwing up his jerk salmon. I ordered the veggie rasta pasta and it was horrible. You could taste the spices, which i'm not a spicy person but that wasn't the issue.. however it lacked flavor if that makes any sense. I really wasn't here for it. From the reviews, im just disappointed that I didn't love the food read more

Inconsistent food .. one week the brown stew fish eat good the next week the "jerk salmon" dry up no pepper.. rice and peas dry read more

Great service and friendly staff! We went there for fathers day. I ordered Curried Chicken with rice and peas and got their chicken soup.The chicken soup was out of this world. It wasn't good, it was great! The curry chicken was pretty good too. My sister ordered a fish dinner with rice and peas. She liked it too. The waiter Kim was fabulous and very accommodating. This place is definelty a step up from their previous owners Latens! I saw another post comment about ordering Mussels and crab cake as appetizers. Jamaican restaurants are not known for mussels or crab cakes. Their known for typical Jamaican food! I'll definitely go again. read more

I started eating here since Covid-19 over the door because the wait is far less and orders are quick to pick up or Uber Eats. The Food is really good and the prices are fair. I love the shrimp rasta pasta and the Curry Goat is delicious. read more

I had a wonderful experience here! The food was so delicious. We were given complementary chicken soup with a warm garlicky buttered roll.. we had the escovitched shrimp as an appetizer. It was tasty and bursting with flavor. For dinner, I had the rasta pasta with shrimp and my friend had the jerk pork with rice and peas. The rum punch was strong and tasty and my friend enjoyed his hurricanes. The waitress, I don't remember her name, was friendly and attentive. The place itself is nicely decorated and bathrooms were clean! While dining, I saw a lot of ppl coming in for take-out orders, so I guess their take-out is just as good. I hope this is how everything stays with this place. I will definitely be returning! read more

ordered jerk chicken dinner and a brown stew chicken dinner for pick up- places the order order over the phone the women was very rude as I was placing my order, I asked for cabbage when I got home there was no cabbage on either plate. when I called back the person said they didn't have any cabbage, the rude women should have told me that when I asked for it. the rice was dry and mush I also asked for oxtail gravy on my jerk chicken and there was none. this food is disgusting I will never eat there again. read more

sitting waiting for 1 hout for my food and the waitress was acting she didn't know what was going on. found a so called manager to ask why my food was taking so long, all the while he was eating. smdh! i dont like to be lied to about my food. They didn't even have the decency to take some money off the drinks I bought. I would've respected them more if they would've told me the truth about my order but after that, I didn't trust them or how my food was being made. Not going there again. They lost a good customer. Do better, especially in black own business. What a disappointment read more

I had fried chicken and mashed potatoes. The meal was excellent and the portions were huge. Everyone in my dinner party enjoyed what they ate, but they opted for the Caribbean cuisine. I would go back just for the mashed potatoes; they were the real deal. read more

Food is decent, some of the staff are very rude and lack proper Customer Service. Ordered lunch on Valentines day and had the worst experience with the young lady at the cash register, all over a mistake the restaurant made on their menu. Needless to say, I will never go to this restaurant again. read more
