Jamaican and Soul Restaurant

I ordered what I thought would be oxtails with rice and cabbage. No, I ordered this via DoorDash and I saw oxtails with the description picture showing everything for I think $11.99 and though wow this is good, it's probably a snack plate. The operator when I asked him about extra gravy was like this is just a side of oxtail and I hope the person that ordered it know that because where can you get oxtail at this price. No I didn't let him know the order was for me. He thought I was just picking up the order for somebody and, the description on DoorDash does not say that it shows the picture of oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage for 1199 in the portion amount as I found out later is basically an portion amount that they give with the small and so my thing would've been why not add rice and peas when it be a snack portion of itso just operators way of talking about it did make me feel some kind of way although the description on DoorDash does not explain it and furthermore, the oxtails did not taste like the true Jamaican style that I'm used to. So the owner needs to get his picture on DoorDash corrected along with wording to match explaining what you are getting. Most people buy based on pictures...lol won't be back

My wife and I love the food of the Caribbean. Therefore finding this small business in Deland made us very happy. Like many tiny ethnic spots dotting big cities Jamaican and Soul is not particularly easy on the eye. If you have traveled to the islands you will feel right at home.Miss Patti, the owner,introduced herself and when asked if we had been there before insisted on a big hug. She offered us some boiled bananas and a fish salad while we waited for our oxtail and chicken curry. The rice and peas and cabbage were perfectly spiced and we enjoyed our lunch and our time with Miss Patti. We asked for a carry out container as we had enough rice and peas than we could eat Miss Patti added three or four pieces of oxtail and we will eat this for dinner tonight! What a deal for under $20.00. Check this spot out before they go out of business for being too generous.

Hubby stopped her and bought dinner after he left work, so I didn't personally go into this restaurant he did. But he got me oxtails, which came with rice and peas, steam vegetables and cornbread and all I can say is I chowed this food down and forgot to take a picture ! It was packed with flavor! It was sooo good! I definitely recommend. Heads up though I would call and confirm their hours before heading there because he tried to get food there last week and they weren't opened but we didn't know the reason so I'm not going to take away points for that.

It is now 12:19pm and this place is still closed. I am very upset.........I called and called all day! SMH

I'll start with the positives. The food, overall, was exactly what I thought it would be-true flavors of Jamaica! Or at least, how I imagine Jamaican food would taste. Everything was hot and fresh and had spices that aren't typically used in American cooking. My favorite item was the curry chicken. It fell off the bone, was spicy but not too spicy. The rice and peas on the side paired perfectly with it! The best positive is that you get a ton of food for a "small" plate and price. I've uploaded pictures of my food and bill-check it out! Also, a gentleman called me from the restaurant to let me know they were out of the collard greens that I ordered and offered to give me another side, instead. I chose the slaw. It was nice of them to give me a heads up! We also ordered 5 wings, teriyaki, and those were huge and delicious! Here are the negatives. First, I placed my order at 5:02 using the Grubhub website and as you might see from my screenshot, by 7:09 the food wasn't delivered. Grubhub said it would be delivered between 6:40 and 6:50, so I already knew it was going to be at least an hour and a half, so they weren't terribly late. When the delivery driver arrived, he was extremely kind and apologetic for being late. He explained that the restaurant got my order wrong and that he had them re-make everything.Next, the order I received still wasn't correct. Although they were kind enough to call me about the collards and exchange them for the slaw, I still didn't receive the dumplings and instead, I got yams. Last thing might be more of a preference. The yams were a bit too sweet for my liking, but that might be the traditional way Jamaicans cook them, I don't know. The cole slaw was hot and I prefer it cold and on the side, not on top of the hot food. The french fries were drowning in grease so I tried a few but ultimately didn't eat them. The jerk chicken was a bit dry but the flavor was spot-on! I had high hopes for the beef patties but they, too, were dry.Overall, my favorite was the curry chicken and the rice and peas. I'll probably order the jerk chicken again but ask for extra sauce. Next time, I'll skip Grubhub and just go to the restaurant, myself. It would be quicker and my order would probably be correct.

I stopped there because it was the only Caribbean restaurant with vegetarian options. The owner was friendly, chatted for a bit. I ordered calalou (greens) only but he insisted on offering me rice at no charge. It was so good--I ate all of it before getting home lol. Yummy food!

So glad to find this little gem , they do a ton of takeout and even offer delivery . The owners are so kind and welcoming. They treat you like family having a lunch at their house .If have a jerk chicken craving , patties ( they even have veggie patties) and curry chicken !!!! So well priced with great portions, we had to take our leftovers home. #muchlovehere

Small but homely restaurant. Has about 3-4 tables. I ordered the fry chicken with rice. The food didn't take long at all with large proportions. I tasted the fry chicken and it wasn't too pleased. It was clear that chicken was fried a day or too ago and was rewarmed in the microwave it was very soggy, the skin just fell right off. I was tempted to order something else to goBut decided I didn't want the sameMistake. The food is ok if your on the run and need something quick to go. Not for a good meal

Ordered food and its been two hours and called the restaurant before they closed and it goes to a cellphone that no one answers... pretty professional.... this was gonna be my first time eating here i guess that will never happen now since i wont be coming back.. ill just go to the Jamaican place on university right off 417...

Order delivered by GrubHub was terrible. Ordered the vegan platter. Food didn't taste good, and looked even worse.
