Scotch Bonnet Jamaican Eatery

Where do I begin! Scotch Bonnet is a street side Jamaican eatery with the best food and best vibes. I ordered with a 3 person queue and about 4 orders in front of me and was served in 15 minutes. The barbecue was going and they were churning out great quality food. I ordered the oxtail plate which comes with rice and peas, cabbage and some plantain, as well as a half pound of their jerk to try out all for around 30 dollars which is a steal in my opinion. My expectations were exceeded the flavor was 10/10 and the spice was perfect for an island girl like myself . If you're ever in the area stop by and grab a plate you will not be disappointed

When I first stumbled upon Scotch Bonnett someone referred to it as the best Jamaican food in Atlanta and I wish I never heard that because knowing me I was going to be a harsh critic!The place is located outside in a parking lot kind of situation, it is an open lot with parking and plenty of seating so you can dine while you are there, but it is outside in an open space which I didn't mind at all. Had cool picnic tables with the colors of the Jamaican flag that I enjoyed a lot and also had music playing on a loudspeaker.There was a bit of a line when I got there which I always consider a good thing because that indicates it is in demand, the guy at the register was unusually nice for a Jamaican establishment which goes against everything I learned in NY about how a cashier should be (inside joke lol). But he took my order quickly and I had my food pretty fast.The food was good, not the best I ever had but again I am from NY and I was being super critical because it is supposedly the best. I got curry and jerk chicken dinners they were both really good made fresh and absolutely filled my appetite.

I honestly don't think I've had real Jamaican food before but it was delicious! Friendly staff, food was very well seasoned and the meat was tender.

I hate to do this....but I would hate more for anyone else to have to go through this.DISCLAIMER - If you are from NYC with west indian background or actually born in Caribbean, don't eat it.I'm not sure what the benchmark is for great caribbean food, because other than maybe 1 or 2 Golden Krusts, I have not had it in the Atl Metro area. This was another ridicously rated high disappointment. Gravy was basically BLACK for brown stew. It was sooooo sweet with no real spice to it. Rice was dry (without the thick black gravy on it). Plaintains were mushy. A whopping $28.Long wait because apparently they cook to order, which I question for meals like oxtail. They have no seafood on the menu.

This place is a food truck fyi, this is not somewhere you can go sit down and eat. I got the Meat combo: Curry Goat & Oxtail comes with rice n peas, cabbage, 2 plaintains. I enjoyed the goat...but I've definitely have had better. The oxtail I wasn't a huge fan of, taste wise but someone else may be. The taste was more of a bbq taste on the outside, like a bbq jerk type taste? Can't really explain it. I got my order within 5 min. Outside of the truck was clean and there was music playing while you wait for your food. My total was $35 for the meat combo.

When I tell y'all this place is everything !! If you want some real deal Jamaican this is your place . We live in TN and anytime we're in Atlanta we have to come here . We normally get the oxtail but tried the ribs today as well they were a party in my mouth dancing on my tongue !! 10/10 #greenshirt

Giving a 5 for the experience.... I've NEVER walked up to place an order for anything Caribbean and be handed my order as if I were at a fast food place. INCREDIBLE!!!!! Now I hope it's good...Beef patty is really good, as is the cabbage. Haven't tried the chicken yet.

My husband and I ordered the trio oxtail, curry goat and bbq jerk chicken with normal sides. It was delicious I will return when I'm in the area. Highly recommend.

Food was amazing! Don't expect great customer service or ambiance, but you will enjoy the food. Little hole in the wall sort of but great authentic jaimaican food! I will definitely be back. Just go for good food!

My husband has been going there at least 10 years now. Consistently delish. Large portions. Oxtails are a little pricey but very good
