Roland’s Jamaican Chicken

Let me tell you about Roland's. It's been a while since I've been and I'm STILL thinking about how GOOD the jerk chicken and spinach is! If you're looking for traditional, fresh out the kitchen Jamaican food, look no further because this is it!!! Service was good but the star of the show is definitely the food.

I've eaten here numerous times, and the food has been consistently excellent. I've only been here for carry-out instead of dine-in; therefore, I can't speak on the service from that experience. However, I have gotten consistent service that I am pleased with. My order has always been correct. Lastly, my food has been consistent in quality and portion sizes, which I appreciate.Curry goat roti: Their curry goat is flavorful, and the meat is tender and you get a nice mix of meaty and boney pieces. The curry is tasty and the consistency of the gravy is very good. The roti has pounded chickpeas in it, and it has a nice flavor. It's never too try and always made fresh.Curry chicken roti: their curry chicken is made with the same curry mix as the curry goat. The chicken is bone-dark meat pieces. This is also very tasty, and you can't go wrong with this entree.Oxtails: This is a go! They usually put 3-4 large pieces of oxtails pieces. The flavor is very good. It's made Jamaican style, so it has a sweet taste to it, and the gravy compliments well the rice.Jerk chicken: They usually serve two-quarter legs, and this is a good value because the flavor is good; it's not overly spicy to me. Ensure you get the jerk sauce to marinade your chicken with, because it's delicious.Whole snapper: I had my snapper with brown stew gravy. The fish is fried perfectly and then sauces with gravy. The fish has a nice flavor. I'll try the other styles like curry, spicy red, and Escovitch eventually.Jerk Ribs: These ribs were delicious and nicely smoked with a great flavor it's much spicier than the jerk chicken to me, but it is goodBeef patty: Their beef patties are delicious! Perfectly seasoned ground beef. The crust of the patty is flaky. This is a must and it isn't spicy.Sides: I've tried them all, and they're all good, the greens, baked mac and cheese, rice and peas, candied yams, sweet plantains. Just go with your reference and you won't be disappointed.This is a premier Jamaican food in the area if you're looking for a good meal or like Jamaican food!

First meal in Dallas during my visit for work was beyond amazing! I ordered the Jamaican jerk chicken with rice and greens with a nice side of plantains - the portion was huge! I easily could've shared with another person. Quick service . I didn't get to see the restaurant as I ordered via DoorDash but I can tell you this food was made with love! I would definitely come back next time in the area to experience the ambiance of the restaurant. Thank you !

I had a strong craving for some comfort food tonight, jerk chicken in particular. After reading several reviews, I decided to try Roland's out which is right by the DFW Airport. Roland's did not disappoint. I ordered the half jerk chicken with rice and peas and sautéed spinach with salt fish. Let my start by saying the spinach was a HIT!!! I never knew that spinach could fill in for callaloo so well. The rice and peas were also perfect. Actually the jerk chicken was great too! The portion sizes were also very generous. I ordered a sorrel which did not disappoint and had plenty of ginger. I'll try the soursop next time, as I'll surely be returning! Oh and yes, the servers were all so kind and welcoming. Wonderful experience all around.

This was my first time here & I wasn't disappointed! I wanted to try the basic items. The beef patty was flaky, flavorful & seasoned well. My jerk chicken was seasoned well but had a few dry pieces but that SAUCE (not sure what it was) made up for it. The sides I chose were the cabbage ( seasoned pretty good) & the plantains which were the star in my opinion ( they were cooked oh so well & had an amazing flavor). The staff was so nice & the restaurant is clean & quaint. I'll definitely return.

Small place but lots of seating and great service ! Food came out right away. I came here to try my favorite dish the oxtail. It was pricey as most places but I was willing to try them out. Was a little disappointed at the sizes of the meat on them. I got about 5 small bones. Which is not bad if the price wasn't so high. They were cooked very well and tender but It had a weird nutmeg I believe taste that threw me off. I had a side of coleslaw to try and It was ok .

I will never be back! Customer service great however food was a disgrace. Hey just my opinion I hate to be so harsh but being honest. Really, puzzled at how the reviews are so great. I must've just visited at the wrong time:

The food was great and warm. I would like to try some different items the next time I go. They ran out of Mac and cheese but I would happily take some other items.

Best Jamaican food in DFW! The food is always hot & delicious. The workers(sky, Adriana & James) are always kind, friendly & keep a smile on their face. . The vibe of the restaurant is homely, such a hidden gem!

Food is pretty authentic and good, addicted to their beef patties. Service was eh, had to wait a while just to get take away order. The restaurant is not meant for a date or anything. I would go here for good food not for the ambiance.
