Jamaica Cook Shop

This place Is about 30 min from my house but they have the best ox tails! The decor is very cool to me & I love the “ language” menu ❤️.
The customers were all very polite, but quiet and the staff were about as lively as a rock.
It’s Friday 8 pm if that affects anything.
There is no doubt they have the best food but their moral needs to change & a larger place would likely attract more customers.
I’ve never had ox tails till here but fell in love! So did my family

I ordered over the phone and picked up in-store.
The food was hot but didn’t seem very fresh, as it had a noticeable “refrigerator” taste.
I suggest routine cleaning and using a refrigerator deodorizer like baking soda. The rice and peas lacked flavor but were hot. The oxtail gravy was great, though the meat itself lacked flavor.
The meat was tender but there were only small pieces.
I expected thick about 2-3in wide & 1-1/2 in in depth pieces. The curry shrimp was the best dish, with excellent spice and flavor, but there were only about five shrimp in the container, and the steamed rice, which should have been included, was missing from the bag. The curry chicken tasted like it had been reheated multiple times, which detracted from the otherwise good gravy. The jerk chicken had a nice smoke flavor and flavorful marinade, but the meat tasted old. On a positive note, the cabbage in all the dishes was great, with excellent crunch and flavor.

Pretty good Jerk Chicken with rice and peas and Steamed veggies. I was the first person before the dinner rush and for a simple order, it seemed like other orders flew out way faster than me, waiting over 25 mins. For the Price of a small plate $12, it was a pretty decent plate.
3 pieces of chicken.
soft and easy to eat.
Not exactly smoky for me, gravy was on the tart/tomato side of flavor with a semi decent kick to it.
The gravy goes well with the veggies and rice! Rice was cooked nicely. I personally would not go back, considering its equal distance to other places I like more.
But its a good option for the area.
