“ I recently tried the Need a Snack Box (Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas), and I must say it was an amazing experience! Everything was delicious and packed with flavor. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, tender, and fell right off the bone, creating the perfect combination with the rice and peas. It was truly a heavenly mix! Beyond the fantastic food, the service was amazing. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back! ”

“ Food was fantastic and authentic. Felt like i was home, patties were fresh, jerk chicken was seasoned nice and the rice and peas were so good. Whoever is the chef congrats to them I want to cater them for a party for me. ”
“ I randomly pulled off the highway to this Jamaican restaurant because they advertised. I’m not from the area and I walked in and I was first greeted with how clean the atmosphere seemed. I have a thing where I’ll go to the bathroom before I order because my assumption is if the bathroom is clean, then the food will be clean. Indeed the bathroom past my test so I went up and presented my order to the cashier. She was extremely inviting, even though I was asking a lot of questions. I love oxtail and jerked pork but it’s not all created equal. I don’t know the next time I’ll be back so I got both so I have some for tonight for dinner “if it is good”. I stayed to eat some there and it did not disappoint. I would say this is a good rival for some of my favorite Jamaican foods! I will defiantly stop again as pass through the area... ”
“ We were driving on the highway and spotted the kitchen and pulled over randomly to support... We walked in ready to hear " Wi nuh have it" and to receive the traditional screw face and hatitude known in Caribbean restaurants. But instead...it was Exceptional Service!!!! CJ gave warm and welcoming customer service. We ordered about 12 patties of all flavors...Here is an honest breakdown. First, The Crust- Crust was flakey on the outside but a bit rubbery on the inside. Not sure if it's their normal recipe or if it was just undercooked in that particular batch. I personally prefer a flakey crust throughout. Second - the content- the spinach patty was a perfect 10. You can tell they use fresh spinach and I liked the slightly spicey kick, not too much but just enough.. The vegetable patty was also a perfect 10. Fresh veges were used. The chicken and jerk chicken and beef were all good as well... Overall I will honestly say that this was an excellent experience. AND the outstanding customer service forms Cj made the Jamaican restaurant a 5 star. ”
“ I ordered Jamaican kitchen for delivery via DoorDash. I’m a huge Jamaican food lover , and this place exceeded my expectations. I got the stew chicken with rice and peas & cabbage , the chicken was so tender and seasoned perfectly. The rice and peas and cabbage was also delicious and paired very well together. I also got cocoa bread which was so soft and just the right amount of sweet and it was warm - SO good! And I got the 1/2 lb of oxtail which was also tender and amazing. I will definitely be ordering from them again and again and again ! ”
“ Well worth the 1hr drive for me. We had the jamaican patties with coco bread and cabbage with rice. Everything was delicious I only wish they were closer to me ”
