Rockyaad Jamaican Restaurant

The flavors on everything was absolutely amazing! Just spot on. Just be VERY careful when eating the curry, there were a lot of very small bones alongside the bigger ones.

Better than the first time I came .. Plantains are okay the macaroni is okayishThe jerk chicken is okay on a good day The beef patty was okay My family said it was alright food but would not go back again

I was so happy to know there is a Jamaican food spot in Carmichael and just a few blocks from me. I enter and waited a few mins before being greeted or even acknowledged for that matter. While waiting I looked at the menu and decided on the oxtail dinner with a side of cabbage and carrot and rice and peas. I also ordered fried Plantains. My order was to go. The inside is nice size with ample seating there is no outdoor seating for those I enjoy outdoor seating. I get home and I'm so excited about my food I tried the rice and peas first. Ummmm... where's the seasoning it had no flavor I think try to cabbage and carrot it looked this the pre packaged stuff you make coleslaw with, that too has no flavor but after putting hot sauce on it it was just okay. Now to the oxtails I had so much hope for them but those too had no flavor like did the chef forget the seasonings?? Did I come on an off day? I have no clue, but the food was not good at all except for the fried Plantains. The prices are good though but that's about it. I may try them out again just no time soon as that's how disappointed I was in the food.

What a hidden gem! This place is local, worth the 15 minute drive and tastes great. We had the jerk chicken which was plentiful and tasteful. The rice and peas were seasoned just right. Rice and cabbage was good but next time I'll have the Mac n cheese which my daughter ordered, it was amazing and cheesy! Beer selection was great and they also had a good selection of imported sodas. The price was decent. We will definitely come back!

Had a Beef patty, it was very good! Crust was buttery and meat was savory and seasoned!

OMG we were at the veterinary place next door to this restaurant and the smell was so good. I took home the Jamaican Jerk, with Rice and plantains. I love spicy food and it was delicious! They give you extra dipping sauce. I will be back

So happy I finally got a chance to visit Rockyaad after reading Rich L's gushing review. I opted for take out since I was on my way home from work, but I would love to sit down and eat next time. The inside it self has lots of tables and high tops, very spacious, a bit barebones in decor. Young lady attending the front was helpful and nice. She answered my questions on food I wasn't familiar with. The Chef also came to talk and serve customers. She was very conscientious and wants you to be happy with the food. She checked to make sure you were informed about the progress of your food. The starter I ordered was the Plantain Cups which were addictively delicious. I could've eaten two servings for myself. The cod and ackee/veg mix tasted amazing. My husband loved it so much he immediately called his mom about it. Stew chicken was flavorful and delicious. Tender chicken meat almost fall off the bone. My side orders were rice & beans and tostones. The rice had a nice coconut flavor and was not mushy or overcooked. I ordered both beef and chicken patties. Beef patty was perfect in flavor and filling texture. The crust was very dry and flaky, almost like a cracker. I let it cool down in the fridge a bit, then reheated in the paper bag to steam the crust. It became a softer just the way I like it (this is just my preference so you may like yours as is!)We will definitely be back, especially for the plantain cups. I'd also like to try their oxtails, red snapper and curries.

We had jerk chicken plates to go and it was so hot and good! We loved the scotch bonnet sauce. The plantains balanced the heat, too. I think I found my new favorite Caribbean spot.

A true hole in the wall!! The food is just chefs kiss. Having a limited amount of Jamaican food prior to trying this place, the menu made it easy to try a little bit of everything. And the food was goooodddd. Packed with flavor, the meat was tender, and well balanced overall. The owner was very attentive and really made it a memorable experience. I ordered an additional plate to take home for my bf to try, and he loved it just as much. We can't wait to go back!

So delicious! So much flavor, so glad we stopped and tried them out . Def will be back!!
