Janet & Ray's

Ordered online, and off the food alone...AMAZINGgot the jerk chicken plates with mac and potato salad. I've never eaten sides so quick and was so sad when they were gone. The Mac had so much flavor and the potato salad was some of the best I've ever had. Fun and unique all the way through. The chicken though...blackened grilled with that classic BBQ flavor while still remaining moist and flavorful all the way through. But the real belle of the ball was the jerk sauce. Explosion of flavor in every bite that's sweet, tangy, and just as you think you've got it all; hits you with a spicy final note that is the absolute perfect counterbalance.Props for the grape koolaid being sent in a mason jar -so fun!Can't wait to go in person. Wish I could Give more stars

Let's check out some Caribbean in the desert. The food was amazing but the service could use some work. I suggest order to go and save yourself the trouble. Their A/C was broke when I went so they had portable units onsite. Which leaked water and no one cleaned up so it was a hazards. It's a nice large location with plenty of parking and it was pretty empty to my surprise. We almost left to eat somewhere else as our waitress left to the parking to have a conversation before taking our order and no one tended to us for 20 minutes. It was very confusing. I ordered the fried chicken based in their recommended, yams and greens. The greens were a little salty and bitter the yams and chicken were good. I wish i would have tried the jerk chicken pasta i saw someone order. My mom ordered the catfish with greens and yams and they brought her out the wrong sides. We advised them and it was quickly corrected.

our waitress was friendly and great. the portion sizes may seem a bit small to some but i personally don't mind and it was more than enough for me. definitely something different for tucson

Janet & Rays is a cute spot. The Catfish is DELICIOUS! Their mac n cheese is very cheesy and I like it. I must say, I'm not a fan of the potato salad(it's a little too peppery/spicy for my taste. It's not hot spicy it has too many spices). The Cabbage is good(when they have it). The cole slaw, I'll pass on that. When I want a good piece of catfish, I'll go to Janet & Rays. They have the best catfish in Tucson. I will say it is over priced in my opinion. 1 piece of catfish, a few fries and a half a serving of cole slaw for $13 plus tax. However, the fish is good.

Order the Jerk Chicken, Mac, and Potato Salad. The Jerk Chicken was sneaky--bold and flavorful on the first bite, followed by a nice heat kick. For the price, the serving size is generous. It's been years since I've had good Jerk Chicken, and Janet & Ray's definitely hits the mark.

Wonderful wonderful. The bill got messed up but was corrected. Fried chicken is wonderful. Great taste and good cook! The rice was amazing. The flavor was delightful. Jerk chicken fantastic! Kale salad wonderful! Mac and cheese was ok. Wish they had beer or wine. Would top it off marvelously. I shall return.

We tried the sampler. 10 dollars and it was worth every penny. Jalapeño poppers are amazing 10/10Onion rings & Mozzarella sticks were 9/10We tried the jerk chicken (8/10), potato salad(9/10) and Mac and cheese (7.5), fried fish (8/10).The service was attentive and fast. We also tried the new pancake and it was very good.The area was clean and well maintained. The music wasn't too overbearing. I would definitely recommend.

Oh man, this place is awesome. I've read a fair amount of negative things like the hours are wrong and the menu isn't consistent. So I can understand driving to the local to find them closed when Google says they're open. So what made them awesome was their food. I had the Jerk chicken egg rolls and fried chicken. The fried chicken was excellent. The Jerk egg rolls had a great flavor and texture. Definitely check this place out. Great food, but not a well oiled machine.

Summary: well-seasoned food with spicy kick but overpricedGot the catfish entrée with sides of mac & cheese, and coleslaw. Everything was really delicious and seasoned very well. The catfish breading and mac & cheese both had a spicy kick to them. The coleslaw was vinegar based rather than mayonnaise based, which I love. The portion size was good for one person. My only complaint is the price - it was almost $23 for one catfish fillet and two sides. I think a more appropriate price for the meal would be maximum $17 total.

Food is amazing our large family had oxtail, catfish, chicken plate, chicken and waffles-peach cobbler, goat curry, chicken and waffles-banana pudding, plantains, jerk chicken, cabbage, coleslaw, fries chicken and waffles- caramel crunch, beans and rice, Mac and cheese, potato salad, Jamaican soda. Service is beautiful, consistent, accommodating, hospitable. I couldn't get a hold of them through phone or social media. I finally went a day prior to our dinner party and yet they still accommodated our family of about 11. They catered to us promptly. Others in the restaurant looked very happy and satisfied with the service as well. The ambiance is very clean, very comfortable, casual, nice paintings on the wall, music is perfect to drain out other conversations between tables. We were celebrating our February children, celebrating family. Right before we left our February children were celebrated with a wonderful slice of cake by the owner she gave them a choice of flavor and my adult children picked red velvet and it tasted heavenly. My family can't wait to go back again for date nights and family celebrations. Thank you!
