Pimento Grill

I don't like to leave bad reviews! Years ago I used to go here to get the Rasta pasta. I've seen the Rasta pasta from a co worker and the portion is very little (which I understand due to the inflation of food) but they should give more due to the price of it. But I ordered the Shrimp roti was really excited about it because I wanted it for dinner. Begin eating very good flavors but I came upon this piece of hair in it. I was really mad and disgusted so I immediately throw it away after capturing the photos. So, the next day I called because they were closed. When I called the young lady asked what did I mean about hair in my food and how did it get in there? I had already explained that I came the day before and what I ordered and that I found hair in my food. After me having to get a little smart with her she calmed down and said just bring it in. I explained one last time before hanging up that the food was in the trash and it happened last night. So, I went inside and presented the photo and my receipt to the gentleman at the front counter. He asked me after I explained to him that it was hair in my food was I sure it wasn't thyme or hair. I said sir it's hair and he said I should've saved it and brung it in. Like really???? He also was very hesitant about giving me a refund because I didn't bring the actual food and he couldn't tell from the photo. He asked if I wanted another one and I said nope a refund. He was a little about giving me my refund. But I got it.

Whenever I drive by this establishment I see a line; therefore, on that alone I decided to try their food. I went on a weekday late afternoon and ordered jerk talipia (for myself) and brown stew chicken (for my mother). The food smelled great when received. However, I wasn't impressed and neither was my mom. We both agreed that our meat protein was dry. My fish was so dry, it was obvious over cooked. Moreover, my fish had no jerk flavor. All I tasted was a fishy flavor. I had to go in my kitchen and add some salt and topped it with a sauce I had on hand to give it some flavor and aid with some moisture. The rice and peas - were ok. I've definitely had better, but it was edible. My mom thought it was bland and dry. The steamed veggies were good, but it was about 1/2 cup, which I thought wasn't adequate for a cabbage side (most Caribbean restaurants I've been too give you more). I'm not sure the spice in the cabbage, but one spice was very prominent. (My guess it might be allspice - so if you don't like that flavor profile, the veggies might take some getting use to. Hopefully I went on an off day, but it will be a while before I go back to test my luck. Not a fan

The food here is so good! I wasn't ready for my tastebuds to go so crazy!I plan on eating my way across the menu. I highly doubt anything is bad here

Pimento grill used to be my go-to for Jamaican food, but this was my first visit since Covid. I called my order in, and to my surprise, it was ready when I arrived. I got the jerk chicken and oxtail combo, which was delicious! It was pricey, but worth it, as there was a good amount of chicken and oxtail in the platter. There used to be a dine in area, but they shut that part down during covid. Now it's to-go only.

Really enjoyed my jerk chicken the other day. The place is small and def expect a wait. We ordered and waited about 40 minutes for chicken, rice and veggies. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I do wish there was a tad more chicken but for the price it was good. Very fresh and full of flavor- spice was right. Gf had the Rasta pasta with shrimp and that was yummy as well. Against priced right, full and fresh. Would return to try something else.

I must admit their food is pretty good! I wish it was a little bit more spicy but I understand it is catering to the general palette and not really the West Indian palette.The portions are pretty decent sizes. I ordered the stew chicken dinner, sweet plantain, chicken patty and Callaloo w/ salt fish (cod fish)The crust of the patty was delicious- I wish it had more filling and more spice...The callaloo and cod was pretty good but felt they could've boiled a little more of the salt from the fish... it was slightly salty.The sweet plantain were delicious with a natural sweetness (a lot of places caramelize plantain w/ sugar ) Even though I would consider them the best, they are definitely delicious and plan to visit again soon

I should be ashamed of myself. I really had this place three straight days after I started with the Salmon Rasta Pasta and the salmon piece was so little. It was good. I went back the next day and got the Chicken Rasta Pasta, amazing. And Friday I went back and got chicken again and add shrimp. Lord have mercy, they are amazing and mad that they closed on Monday. Pimento Grill thank you so much for amazing food for a few days straight.

Hella good! I can't say enough about how good the food is. It's a hidden gem on that side of town.

Food: Food was so authentically Caribbean. Large portion sizes and reasonably priced! I got jerk tilapia and curry chicken meals with rice and peas snd cabbage. Not photographed were the beef patties, ginger beer, and Ting. Spicy and flavorful. Service: Ladies taking the orders and cooking were pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu. And they have the #rona measures down. Everyone is wearing masks, plastic cutlery, and barriers to protect everyone. My belly is happy and I don't have to cook for a few days. Support local and support black businesses!

I always had a terrific and flavorful experience at the Pimento Grill my only disappointment was the reduced portion sizes following the Pandemic!
