It wasnt the worst and I'd try it again. I got the oxtail with broad beans and I promise you I didn't see the beans. The oxtails were good but I didn't have many for the price.I really enjoyed the rice and peas and also the mac. But for the oxtails to be the main star they just lacked. I would try this place again for sure maybe for dine in. The service was very quick I got takeout and it didn't take long at all to deliver. I cannot speak on the ambiance but overall 3/5 but I would try it again.

Boswell's is always a hit, never a miss. I had the BBQ jerk chicken. It was saucy and oh so good. Mac and cheese was flavorful as well. Service was courteous and warm. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

Best Jamaican restaurant in the city! I enjoyed their jerk chicken, mac & cheese, and callaloo. Everything was flavorful and came out pretty quick. Tried the ginger beer too (it bites back lol). The service was great and the dine-in area had a nice vibe. I would definitely recommend! Can't wait to go back and taste their oxtails.

Today I am disappointed. Two plates was $64. As someone who has been eating here for years, i've has better days. My brown stew chicken was dry and hard... it honestly seemed as though they had taken jerk chicken and threw it in some sauce. It was spicier and drier than ever(because it was the other day's jerk)... personally, i feel i overpaid for the quality and amount of what i got. It was no more than a $15 plate at best. Minus the leftover jerk vibes. The rice is dry, they need to add more stew juice if the rice isn't moist.

The food tasted really good. I loved the oxtails and macaroni it was flavorful. I got my food really fast. The woman at the counter was very polite, kind and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back!

Been coming here since 2017. Tastes like ochi. Fish supreme, oxtails juicy, patties are spicy and crisp and the jerk is perfect. Everything nice

If Jamaican flavor is what you are looking for, this is the right place!The place is painted with gorgeous murals that pay homage to the Jamaican culture.I have hd jerk chicken before but this was the best I have ever had! HANDS DOWN!!!

I often come from the Northshore to come to this restaurant once I take care of my business in the area. When I usually come to this restaurant it always seems to be the longest wait with nobody waiting. The food is really good but the service is really bad. Often times, the wait staff of preoccupied with conversations, in the kitchen, or watching television in the dining area. I would give this restaurant a high rating but the quality of service received here needs to improve. Seems like every time I've come the wait has gotten much longer than the previous visit. I encourage you if you want some good Jamaican food that is reasonably priced and have a very long time to sit and wait for the spot for you.

The food was hot and came out in less thank 5 minutes for my to go order. The negative...broth/gravy from my order was spilled all in the bottom of my bag, I asked for vegetables but got cabbage instead, my oxtails w/ peas has one literal pea in it, and the oxtails lacked flavor. The music playing fit the vibe well. I usually do another Jamaican grill up the street but wanted to try here but unfortunately...I won't be back.
