Rono's Caribbean Family Dining

I love Rono's jerk chicken! Don't love the wait time and prices so much... Today I went in for lunch and noticed their small... VERY small was now $8.00. That's a lot for a small...but they make up for it in portion and taste...it's worth it overall... Side note: another yelper mentioned in her review that this restaurant is located in the "ghetto"...being a native Detroiter I am quite offended. This is the west side of Detroit! An urban city just like any other urban city. If you're afraid of the hood stay outta the hood...

Rono's is one of the locations in the city that I frequent when I have a hankering for Oxtails. The drawback is that it is carry out only. I would love to have the ability to enjoy it on the spot.

The past few weeks I've been craving some Jamaican food , so I finally made it a point to satisfy this craving . I called to place my order and they were quick to answer and courteous. Once arriving at the location I felt just like I was in Jamaica , no frills or fancy dining . My order came out quick and It was hardy portions and pretty good .

Great Caribbean food the Family are very nice people, been eating with them for over25 years. Blessings to the Family. Thank you

Trash. Food used to be fantastic so I ordered oxtails with rice & pigeon peas & cabbage. Oxtails were too chewy & they were children's portions. Rono's will never see one red cent from me again.

I have been eating at Rono's for years. They've catered 2 big events for me. They even catered on Christmas just so my guess can taste a fresh cooked meal. The food made my event a success because everyone wanted to know where I purchased my food. RONOS! They even opened up their banquet room for me without prior notice, just so my family and friends could celebrate my sons birthday (random decision). Thanks for taking care of me, my family and friends that frequent your restaurant.

Used to be good in the '70's, ok in the '90's. Low quality food is served for the last 20 years. Old hard rice and peas, the jerk is nothing like in Jamaica. I am Jamaican, and I would never pay a penny here again. This food embarrasses anyone from Jamaica.

Had high hopes for the food considering their cabbage and conbread is usually on point. But not this time. The curry goat and chicken was dry and old tasting. I drove from Toledo for this food and was very disappointed. Will definitely be going to the jamaican pot or carribean citchen next time around.

First of all, let met preface my review by saying that I am NOT a professional reviewer/taster, so... yeah. I'm a huge fan of hole-in-the wall bars and hidden-away treasures of restuaurants, so keep that in mind.After having gone to Jamaica for two weeks several years ago, I've developed a bit of an ongoing craving for authentic Jamaican/Caribbean food. Initially my fix was Jamaica Jamaica, which was off of 7-Mile and the Southfield Freeway. However, when they went under, I was completely bummed. Until I found out about Rono's. I'm kind of a mainstreamer... I like the basic curry/jerk chicken the best. Everything tastes fantastic, is served authentically (as far as I can tell, anyways), and is priced reasonably. You gotta be on "Jamaica Time" if you don't order ahead, though... my walk-up takeout took about 15-20 minutes to bring to the window and on a second trip, a party of about 6 people took about 30-40 minutes to serve. But you know what? It's not a bad thing. The employees are super-friendly, are always checking up on you (while not being obtrusive at all!), and you won't find more smiles... whether it's when they serve you or after you take your first bite. Why didn't I give them 5 stars? Well, while they're food/service is great, I think 5 stars should be reserved for truly monumental experiences and while discovering Rono's was just that for me, nitpickers might complain about the barren facilities and the questionable neighborhood. But for me? Love the place to death. I recommend it to everybody I know...Fun side note: It seems that the neighboring community (McNichols/Lodge Freeway intersection) has a great number of AUTHENTIC Caribbean business fronts, from groceries to restaurants to catering services. Be sure to ask around... I'm sure you'll find even more gems!

I've been here twice and both times the Place is dirty, food taste old and they don't have any sense of customer service. I would choose a different Caribbean restaurant.
