Jamaica Jamaica

I haven't been here in a few years. I used to love this place. But it's gone down hill. The flavors are not authentic at all. The salmon was good but did not have a strong jerk flavor. More like a typical blackened salmon. Cabbage had an overwhelming amount of oregano. Rice and peas were okay. Essentially this was a small piece of salmon for $16 At a counter service restaurant, $16 should get you more than that. I know of full sit down restaurants with much larger portions. I also got a side of Mac and cheese and it was below average. In sum, it tastes like whoever is cooking may be following a recipe but has no understanding of the soul or flavor of Jamaican food. Regrettably, I would not recommend going here for authentic tasting food and I don't think I'll be back.

I just ordered Jamaican food from this local restaurant and the food was not good at all. The rice was pasty with not enough beans (4 total beans in all). The cabbage was salty and the jerk chicken was the worst I've ever tasted. The chicken was baked and tasted raw and looked pink. The jerk seasoning was absolutely absent and it reflected on the bottom. The plantain tasted good but the large cuts through me off. I must say tonight's carving for good Jamaican dinner was disappointing. This location will be forever remembered as a place i need to stay away from. Thanks jamaica Jamaica hope you do better in the future and somehow i try your improvements.

Never any food. Poor portions. Unfriendly service. Food taste is So-So. Not worth your time. Unfortunately

Did NOT like the food AT all. Not sure what the hype is about. Hot oxtails Mac and plantain. Just not good

Jamaica Jamaica Restaurant is truly authentic Caribbean cuisine the is the true toe recipes of Jamaica's famous food at it's best.Bob Marley would feel right at home with the nutritious vegetarian meals, pescatarian (seafood) meals, goat grabbing meats, pork meals, beef meals, poultry meals, diet conscious dieters meals, low calorie meals, and excellent beverages, served in their indoor dining room, outdoor café tables, take out meals, delivery meals, and catering for large groups.If you have never been to Jamaica Jamaica on highway 55 in Durham, NC.I highly recommend the charming restaurant which also offers live and recorded music from the Caribbean Islands, Of Jamaica, Trinidad, Tobago, Barbados, Saint Licia, Grenada, Dominica, Saint Vincent, Grenadines, Aruba, Saint Kitts, the Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti, The Dominican Republic, Anguilla, Antigua, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Saint Barthélemy,, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Montserrat, Curaçao, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Turks and Caicos, and other Islands too.

I visited this restaurant after reading the reviews. I love Jamaican food so I decided to satisfy my craving for curry chicken. The cabbage was crunchy and tasty. I didn't care too much for the curry chicken. The chicken was tender, but I could barely taste the curry. I may return again for a veggie plate in the future. The jerk chicken, collard greens, and green beans looked delicious.

Was a little skeptical at first from going in but the food was good me and my cousin came from Goldsboro NC. It was worth the drive good food nice service I had jerk chicken was not spicy at all need some spice also had some ox tails, cabbage was delicious never change that. The plantains are very tasty. My cousin has salmon, jerk chicken, and the pork chops. Salmon was kinda dry she said but tastes seasoned. Overall I will be back!

I went to this restaurant in the food was tasty however, the food does come on a buffet line and it kept a good temperature. depending on how you like your food to be prepared buffet versus freshly prepared would be my distinguishing factor on coming, but everything worked out smoothly overall

We've had many oxtail stews before so we wanted to try this place out. I have NEVER seen anyone slice their oxtail this thin!! They give you like 5-7 slices. Which equals to about 1 and a half of an oxtail portion that other places serves. Definitely not worth it.

Protein (Chicken, Pork & Fish) was really good. Great flavor & good quantity. But the Rice which comes with that, felt like lacking the flavor. Really need to work on cleaning the place.
