Jamaican Country Kitchen

Today I went here and bought the stew chicken dinner with plantains, rice and peas and cabbage. The staff were friendly and greeted me when I first walked in. It is nicely lit inside and the food was displayed so you can see what options are available. I looked at the food and it didn't look appealing, but I said I'll give this place a try since I am on the hunt for finding a Jamaican food restaurant in the DM area that I like.I ordered the stew chicken dinner and it was not all that tasty. The chicken was lacking salt, the rice and peas were ok, but the plantains were dry and the cabbage wasn't seasoned well. When I sat at the tables inside, they weren't cleaned and there was food all over them. I wouldn't recommend this location for authentic, well seasoned Jamaican food.

I am so irritated at this travesty of a Jamaican spot. First off I called and said I just wanted a piece of fried red snapper, some cabbage and instead of fried plantain (which were sweet), I asked for provision (which is usually boiled green banana and some root vegetables). I get there not long later to pick up my order, and the older lady opens the container and shows me fish with peppers and onions on the top. Before I even said anything she said she could remove the peppers if I didn't want them. Frankly, this was someone else's order that she passed off on me - because how do you just decide to give me escovich fish when I ordered on fried red snapper?? She proceeded to tell me she could remove the peppers and add brown stew sauce. How in the WORLD did she think I was NOT going to know that escovich has a tangy marinade that would not have been covered up by brown stew sauce. When I paid my food was $60 for the fish I ordered, an order of cabbage, one plain fried red snapper for my daughter (which is exactly what I ordered for myself - $17) and a quart of grape nut ice cream. Instead of replacing the fried plantain with just one green banana - which would be the logical thing to do for a customer, I happened to see the receipt as it was printing and I was charged for 2 green bananas - because she decided I needed two bananas instead of one - because it put more money in her pocket. So my fish order was $10 more than my daughter's plain fried and I called her back to ask why (because I paid extra for the "provision" so all that was left was cabbage. She said that's the price for the fish. So you mean to tell me that a side order or cabbage is $10??? She had the opportunity to provide me with all of the information when I called to ask. Perhaps she thought because of my non-Caribbean accent she could play me, On top of all of this, th fish wasn't fresh - it was dry and hard (which is probably why she threw the sauce on without m asking. She already knew. Ma'am! I am not the one. but trust that I will NEVER return to this travesty of a food establishment!!

One love one love!!! Let's get together and feel alright!!! That's the song that popped into my head when I walked into this restaurant and smelled the vibrant aroma of Jamaican cuisine cooking! I placed my order over the phone, and I was greeted by warm and welcoming customer service upon my arrival.My order was ready upon walking in, and I checked out with ease. Now onto the deliciousness! I ordered a Small Jerk Wing platter, and I also grabbed a homemade pineapple ginger juice! When I got home I was so excited and ready to dig in!Upon opening the jerk wing platter I was delighted at how generous the restaurant was with the portions! I drizzled some pepper sauce over the food that I asked for on the side, and took my first bite into the wings and WOO LAWD!!! My eyes lit up like a Las Vegas slot machine!!! The jerk seasoning coupled with the grill char of the wings was enough to make me want to jump for joy! The sweetness of the plantains, coupled with the crunchy texture of the cabbage, as well as the delicious comfort of the rice and peas!!! This entree was so delicious that I could not help but finish it all in one sitting!I was so amazed at the food! The pineapple ginger juice was also freshly made and complimented the vibrant flavors of the food very well! I am honestly reliving the moments as I write this review! When you have delicious food like this, it makes you look forward to trying more food from the restaurant in the future.Check this place out! You are truly in for a treat! Cheers to good eats!

One of my favorite spots to stop for lunch after I get my nails done. Usually there's a line but today it was just me. I had a lovely conversation with the cashier, who I believe is also one of the cooks & possibly an owner, about some of the menu items I wasn't familiar with. She schooled me on fish fritters, boiled dumplings with potatoes & yams, & fried fritters. I really enjoyed the exchange. For my meal, I got stewed chicken lunch special. I've had the curry chicken before so I know that's good. This was my first time trying the stewed chicken. In my mind, I'm trying to determine if I like it more than or equal to the curry chicken. Tough decision. You can't go wrong with either. In both cases, the delicious meat falls off the bone. I always get gravy over my rice & cabbage. It's delicious Jamaican food cooked by lovely Jamaicans.

Customer Service is EVERYTHING! Take some lessons in "client compassion"...the customer is ALWAYS right!!! Won't be frequenting this place EVER again!!

I don't like to post bad reviews if things aren't terrible. The food wasn't terrible but it was just sooooo bland. No flavor. No taste. We tried the curry goat and jerk salmon. Both were just ridiculously bland. We've had lots of curried dishes both in the states and throughout the Caribbean including Jamaica. This was so bland. Not bad but bland. My biggest pet peeve is when restaurants thi k making super spicy food makes it Jamaican. This didn't have any heat at all. Hardly any salt. Again not a bad taste just no real taste at all. Oh and the rasta pasta again was also bland. Like Jamaican food for a nursing home. Probably will not return.

Amazing Jamaican fool authentic flavor can't lie I really enjoyed my plate of jerk chicken cabbage and plantains

The customer service was great and the Red bean soup is everything! Other customers said that I have to try the oxtails, so I'll be getting those next visit.

Good food, good service! The prep time for meals could be quicker but I understand that they want to guarantee that the customer will come by to actually pickup the food.

Great food and great service. However the algorithm has changed and now I can't order for delivery. Very disappointed about that.
