Oley's Kitchen & BBQ

I was in the area for an appointment when I realized it was close to dinner-time and I was in the mood (as always) for some Jamaican food. Yelp showed me a spot a few miles away! I rush over to Oley's to grab up my go- to meal of Jerk chicken, rice n peas, collard greens, and cabbage, with a seemingly complimentary tiny corn bread. The restaurant was in the hood, which was a great sign (wink), it smelled ok, food looked good, and I was excited about possibly discovering a new favorite spot.Ummm...not so fast. I am going to keep it a 100. The jerk wasn't jerkin', the cabbage tasted like sweaty socks, and the collard greens had a hint of sourness. Sorry my peoples, but this ain't it.

A blend of BBq and Caribbean?!? Yes please! This is my favorite Caribbean spot in town! I try to stop in here at least once a month. Their jerk chicken is some of the best I've had! It's very saucey, which I like. I get it with rice and peas and hush puppies - but they have a lot of side options. Parking is easy and service is always friendly. I just wish they offered beer! If you want some good bbq or Caribbean, definitely check this place out!

My coworker wanted to introduce me to this place and I'm so glad he did! The vibes were right and the food was really good and came out to our table quick and piping hot! Our server was a sweetheart. We will for sure be spending more lunch breaks here!

Chitterlings were so seasoned and delicious over rice with yams and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese tasted like grandma made it. They know how to do soul food. Large portions and friendly staff are always a plus!

Customer service is great here. The older gentleman server was very hospitable and kind to us. He even asked the cook to let us order breakfast even though it was 5min after end of breakfast. Breakfast is good. BBQ is delicious, ribs were smokey and "fall off the bone" meat was delicious. Mac and cheese was okay, yams were tasty and served in a mashed style. Gotta try the collards next time we come. Pancakes were okay, omelet was a meat lovers and not too much meat. Lots of good cheese though on the omelet. Home fries are home made cut, seasoned and cooked like home. I enjoyed my time here.This is a comfortable place to eat. There were a lot of people who seemed to come in after Church to eat and our server was nice to everyone.I found it nice that the owner graduated from Bethune-Cookman University, an awesome HBCU! Love that it was displayed at this business!

I've been on the hunt for great soul food since we moved and Oley's is it. The vibe is what you want, old school pictures on the wall, the same paint job from the 90's , aunties arguing about the menu and a server that sits down to take your order. What I liked: the fried chicken, whiting, greens, yams and Lima beans were all great. Just ok : I wasn't crazy about the cornbread or cabbage. But that's just personal preference. Already been back and will be going back to try more.

My dining experience was disappointing to say the least. I ordered the snapper, cabbage, yellow rice, and yams. The food was bland, rice overcooked, and the cornbread was rubbery. The servers were indifferent. There were six in our party. Only one of the six of us thought their meal was "okay". There were no doggie bags, I think the dog would have been offended if I tried to feed him the food we did not eat. Needless to say, I will not be a returning customer, and I would not recommend this establishment!

I have been searching for a real, honest to goodness, true to their roots soul food restaurant. THIS IS IT!!!We had a sampling of many of their recipes and didn't find a bad one. But the OXTAILS are phenomenal!!!!The folks who take care of you are kind and solicitous, making recommendations and getting to know you. I loved it!

I found this place on google while looking for soul food. This place is amazing. It's has the best chicken & oxtails I've tasted from a restaurant in a long long time. Customer service was awesome. It was well worth the drive from the convention center. I highly recommend.

Great Caribbean soul food. I had the smothered turkey wings and they were delicious as well as the greens and black eyed peas! The service was good. I had Derrick the server and he was very sociable.Nancy
