Spicy Roy's Caribbean Grill

roy is such a nice guy, id been wanting to try his food after following his instagram for a while and it didnt disappoint me! this was my first time having oxtail, and it was tender and delicious. Just look at the picture and you know what flavors you're getting.

Had a combo plate ox tails and jerk chicken. Also came with rice and peas and salad. Ox tails were tender and flavorful. Jerk chicken was dark meat which is my fave when it's done right. It was cooked to perfection for me. I'd like a little more spice on the jerk chicken but I like spicy stuff. Service was great warm and welcoming. Didn't realize it's inside another bbq restaurant. Will come back for sure

I wanted to enjoy my meal at Spicy Roy's but it fell very flat. The jerk chicken was dry and overcooked. Even the oxtail was a bit dry and it's pretty tough to overcook oxtail. It seemed like the food had been sitting out for a while. I don't recommend eating here. Sorry to say because I love supporting small businesses, but I don't want the good reviews to fool anyone else.

had ox tail for the first time and boy was i amazed by the seasoning, the cook and the flavor! The jerk chicken was impeccable and juicy! From the tropical punch, to the food, to the great service and ambience! I am going to make this a biweekly visit!

For some reason I wanted carribean food, no lemme reword that, due to some unforseen reason I suddenly wanted jerk chicken sauce for drinking purposes. well the unforseen reason is my friend group ripping on backayard, and jamaican food in general. Hilarious right? apparently the dark meat chicken was dry. Either way I went off to find another jamaican place to eat at and to my pleasant surprise it was in one of my favorite bbq places! Hilarious right? the jerk sauce was a bit strange, def not what i planned for but man that was some good chicken. The guy making the stuff is also mega friendly so I have literally nothing to complain about here. Ambiance wise? it's the exact same as mesquite and oak so if you're into that this place is just perfect. I went with the jerk chicken oxtail combo, highly recommend it!

This place is super authentic and I will definitely be ordering from here in the future. I went to a party that was catered by Spicy Roy's. I had the jerk chicken leg and it was super tender and flavorful. Probably the best I've ever had. They were also pretty large, so you get bang for your buck. The rice and peas were really good too, I like putting the spicy sauce over the top. The spicy sauce is sneaky - it has a nice balanced vinaigrette like taste, but then the heat slowly starts to kick in. Their medium jerk sauce is fantastic and tastes exactly like the ones I had in Jamaica. The party didn't have oxtail or plantains, so next time I'll be trying those.

Food review onlyI get this catered at my company, hence the food only review. Most of my coworkers like the jerk chicken they ate. I am vegetarian, so I got the jerk tofu. The first time it was pretty good, compared to the other places that served tofu (think bland as paper). Unfortunately, the second time was just too salty. I am wondering if they use the same marinade for the chicken on the tofu.Hint Hint Hint Hint Hint Spicy Roy! If you are reading this, please cut back your salting of the tofu marinade by 50%. Less is way more flavorful in this case. The rice and plantain were done just right. I like that they have a little side salad, otherwise the food would be too salty to eat. Would I eat this again: sure (especially if Roy cuts back on the salt with the tofu )

The food is amazing! I hope they open back up soon... We miss your food!!!!!. The oxtail chicken plate is my favorite.

Love their foods! We went to get lunch at there and the place has two counters n you should go towards back. Then you can order thru the tablet screen. Definitely try spicy source as it is super spicy n tasty! I ordered tofu n my colleagues ordered chicken n oxtail plate one of each. All of them taste super good! Will come back again. Entrance is not that looks friendly but the staffs are all nice.

I am a full-blown Jamaican, and I can say without a doubt that Spicy Roy's Caribbean Grill carries authentic Jamaica flavours in their menu items. I sampled several items, including their rice and beans, Jerked Chicken and Oxtails and salad meal; a beef patty; Jerked Chicken Quesadilla; coconut custard cake, and sorrel. I was pleased to have very fresh vegetables for my salad, accompanied by a unique house-made salad dressing, and my proteins had their sauces, ranging from sweet to very spicy.I left the restaurant with a taste of home and a wish that he'd open up a location in the Midwest so I can have better tasting Jamaican food near me. I was also impressed by the overall attempt to diversity the food to infuse Mexican cuisine into our Jamaican favourites.Lastly, I was impressed by the Jamaican excellence that greeted me even before getting to the restaurant, in that there's an app that that gives all the info that you need about the restaurant, dishes, owner, menu item supply (which indicates what menu items are not available, so won't hear the popular Jamaican restaurant line, that "we nuh have dat!" AFTER ordering). My Jamaican heart, spirit and taste buds are so happy and impressed right now that I had to run to write this review. If you are in San Jose and like good Jamaican food, do yourself a favour and check out Spicy Roy's Caribbean Grill. You won't be disappointed!
