Fireside Jamaican Restaurant

Let's get into it......had a craving for some Jamaican food yesterday, so I used my Yelp app, as I always do to find a close spot since I was in the office. It was a typical Jamaican spot, small, native music playing in the background, and the smell of great food! I decided on the oxtails....big mistake! The tails were tough and full of gristle! I got a medium plate, but it was more rice and peas and cabbage more than anything, and they forgot to put the plantains on the plate! The rice and peas and the cabbage were delicious, but I wish I'd gotten curry chicken, especially since I paid $26 for rice & peas and cabbage!! I'd go again, but I wouldn't order the oxtails.

The stewed cow's foot was delicious! They serve a generous amount of food with each meal!! I will be going back for breakfast!!!

They food to Dog on good!!! Their service is excellent. The portion and taste you will never regret!! Tired of them taking all my Dog on money!! Stop making breakfast porridge so addictive!!! And stop having hot & delicious dog on food always for my mouth to enjoy!!! Better for me to not have any customers going there so I can have the ultimate feast!!! Ambiance is always getting my food tasty and not a long time to wait!!

Food was very good. Ordered the curry chicken and ox tails. Cabbage was well cooked. Everything tasted fresh. Glad we finally tried it. I always have to have a place with good Caribbean food nearby.

First time trying it today and it was pretty decent! The older lady welcomed me and was quite friendly, she was quick with the service and I didnt have much of a problem with my meal (Oxtail w/rice & veggies). My only disappointment was the dry, fried plantains--im used to them being served moist and warm.Theyre worth another shot ;-)

I work at the airport an someone invited me here for lunch on a late Saturday afternoon. Due to Atlanta construction, what normally would have been a 15 min drive turned into 35 minutes. Thankfully this was some of the best Jamaican food I'd ever had.I had the ox tails with rice and cabbage. It was soooo good. I also had one of their chicken patties. That patty was so good Id eaten it before I was fully out the parking lot and through the red light.There is a buffet line where you can see all the food that is available for ordering. The give you a good amount of everything and its good. I don't know what else I can say other than they have good food.

Visited as they were listed on Yelp Take Out Week and I wanted to support. However, the staff didn't know anything about it so I didn't get the 30% discount mentioned. I was told their register only provides up to 20 percent off which was fine with me. I did let the young lady know so if someone comes that they are aware of the special. This is strictly a take out location and likely due to Covid. It looks like there were tables and chairs as some were placed on the corner so maybe when the pandemic is done, people can dine here again. It's a red building off Tara Blvd.I arrived around 7:30pm and there was no line but not long after I started to order, there were ten people in line behind me so this is a popular spot. People social distanced inside when ordering. Round social distancing signs were on the floor.There's no frills. It's a caferia style so you can see the food behind the plexiglass. I do wish they offered yams though. I ordered the goat platter and the curry platter. Both come with rice or red beans and rice, cabbage and a few plantains. The food is decent. They give plenty of food and are generous with the sauce over the rice. The flavor of the sauces were good and just enough spice. The rice and beans are a tad dry. I probably wouldn't do the drive here but if I'm nearby and want Jamaican food, I may stop by for a plate.

Since my last review I've tried some other items that's definitely worth taking about. Recently, I stopped in to pick up food for friend. Saw for the first time and tried there Sweet Thai Chili Wings. It's lightly breaded wings coated in a sweet Thai chili sauce. Has the perfect balance of sweetness with little spicy kick to it. OMG..... amazing delicious!I'm one who can't handle food too spicy so when I say it's the perfect little kick.... it's really is. Had my Jamaican picky foodie friend try it and he thought it was really good too. Next item was there Chicken Noodle Soup. Something else that I'm picky with cause my mom is known for making good soup esp chicken. I have to admit there's taste homemade from scratch with a good balance of provisions in it. Great option when you don't have the time or energy to make your own.

Visiting from Los Angeles, and wanting some jerk chicken. Restaurant wasn't busy and we looked over their buffet. Food looked pretty good..so we decided to order a medium jerk chicken with rice/beans & cabbage. Chicken wasn't bad...wished it had a smoked taste. Jerk sauce was sweet with a kick. Didn't enjoy the cabbage. Customer service needs a class. After ordering our food and returning to line, waited 15 minutes to buy 3 drinks while the cashier rang up food orders and ignored us as we stood directly in front of him. The server plating plates was a bit rude screaming for him to "hurry up and ring her" as if we were bothering them and slowing down their rhythm!!All in all not bad, but definitely wouldn't return.

Fireside has a large selection of excellent Jamaican food and friendly service. Highly recommended!
