Pimento Jamaican Kitchen

Suuuuuuuper good comfort food from the island. My Jamaican friend recommended it to me. Not super well laid out maybe but the food is on point. Not the most fresh but that might just be the style. Great service super friendly. I got boneless jerk chicken and plantains.

My negative criticism is based on how this place looked . I've never been here before ,but I expected way more . I made an " reservation "! Reservation for " WHAAAT"?The joint was small , couldn't tell if I made a mistake and went into the wrong door or something. The front door was stuck and my wife and I were freezing Prompting me to suggest we just take our meal home. I wanted a romantic Valentines Day dinner,but ended up with " take out"Oh, by the way . . . the food was at least very good.

Service was fast. I liked the open air concept, with the almost garage door entrance. The chicken drumsticks were amazing! The on the drum sticks made it good enough to eat by itself. I got the curry. It was like two meals in one. Yum!

We tried the sweet plantains and the coconut beans and rice and they were delicious. Apparently the chef had left early for the day, perhaps to be replaced so no wings for us but the remaining staff were of good cheer and because the majority of food is slow-cooked they had plenty of other options available. We were able to order rum and a Wray and Ting before the bar closed, yay! This is a friendly place with a welcoming vibe.

Could be more of a late night spot but had a very take out feel to it almost cafeteria style. Was hoping to bring my mom because she likes jerk seasoning. I got the jerk boneless chicken and she got the goat. The food was amazing and the staff member was really nice. But of a small selection it felt but maybe I didn't see the whole menu

I've loved Pimento since the start at Burnsville Mall. I jumped at the opportunity to have it again. The space is cool and definitely Jamaican vibes. I ordered the One Live plate with boneless chicken and pork. I subbed extra plantains for the coleslaw. So delicious. The service was great as they allowed the substitution. Highly recommend.

This is a cozy spot.. I would not bring too many folks here at one time, unless they had some hidden seating somewhere?? I've been twice and both times were different. Now what I will say is two things.. 1. Get the DRINKS! 2. GET DEM WICKED WINGS!! They were BOMB! Perfectly crispy! I also had the KINGSTON STYLE JERK CHICKEN, with rice and beans it was dry. I was looking for water! The JAMAICAN PATTIES - Uhhhhhh what is this supposed to be? My patties barely had meat and not much flavor. Hard pass.. SWEET FRIED PLANTAINS - they were too hard.. But back to the wings.. those left a lasting impression! I would go back for those!!

Just moved to the area and was excited to find a Jamaican restaurant. Overall, the food was a 4/5. The portion size was plentiful, I definitely am full and have enough left for a meal later. Everything was hot and served quickly. The curry chicken was good with a tiny kick of spicy. The slaw left much to be desired, and the rice and peas had no taste at all (although mixed with the curry chicken sauce, it was good). The customer was average. I had to say, "Hello" first to get a proper greeting outside of, "How can I help you?". But I tend to find this same thing at just about every Jamaican restaurant, so it is what it is, I suppose. The ambiance of this location is cute, bright, colorful, relaxing, and airy. It's clean, and they have neo-soul and Jamaican music playing. It is a perfect combination with the breeze that's currently present. I am done eating but taking in the ambiance! I will most likely give this place another try in the future!

Food, service and ambiance exactly what I want in an authentic Jamaican restaurant. Enjoyed the jerk chicken and rice and peas dinner. Will return when next In Minneapolis!! Keep it going. It's needed and appreciated.

Great food overall. Seems to be more of an establishment focused towards takeout as the food was served in take out containers. The connected rum bar seemed closed despite us getting dinner around 7:30, but it could be more geared towards late night diners.
