This particular location has horrible customer service. I normally don’t do reviews like this. I’m never difficult ordering. It’s a community business with decent food and I try my best to take into consideration many things. But after two prior unsatisfying occurrences I decided this time to alert others before their spending hard earned money. I found hair today in my order of oxtail rice and cabbage. It was a long noticeable strand of hair in my food. When I called the Resturant a woman who said she was the “manager” decided to handle the situation. As a manager her conduct first was unprofessional. I was told to take a picture of the hair, ok. but when I tried to explain in the picture you couldn’t see this strand in the food Ill put it on a napkin she became irritable. She felt I should bring the food to them. But what would have been the point of delivery? She said this never happened before and deemed it proper to hang up on me. I called back to get a refund she and my number was blocked. I had ordered more food with this order and at this point was turned off from all. All who order out knows it can be pricey especially when for a family.I am big on customer service in any industry. As a customer who considers people, who tips, and who worked with this Restaurant; I think other hard working businesses deserves my money. Good luck to all that consider. I really hope your experiences are better than mine.
They’re fabulous and so kind. The oxtail is always on point. Portions are reasonable and everything’s fresh and tasty. Lovely staff, too!
Savory and delicious oxtails, peas and rice, curry chicken, cabbage, fresh ginger drinks, homemade patties and many more West Indian meals and treats. Good eats!Customer service is definitely up to par and they deliver too. Do stop in, if not, then order in...they dont disappoint.
I love this place. Great quantity and quality of food, and the staff genuinely seems to like the food as well. Ive made it a tradition to get a huge takeout order from here everytime I move or help a friend move.
I found my favorite Caribbean food restaurant again! A new location but the same great food. I have my all time favorite tonight the oxtails, and they are delicious! If you are looking for good comforting food you must stop here. And grab a juice too they are great too!
My son and I went here for dinner & we literally waited 100 years to order. Theres only 1 person at the counter & she needs help obviously. We finally did order mac & cheese, stewed chicken with rice & peas. All I can say is WHERE IS THE FLAVOR?! The mac tasted like air, the portions of food was skimpy. I ordered the large and all they gave us were like 4 tiny plaintains. I will not be returning.
This is my go to West Indian joint when I crave a taste of home. Stew chicken, curry chicken, curry goat, oxtail, and lots more. Very inexpensive - a medium platter with rice and peas, stew chicken, cabbage, plantain and lots of gravy for less than $9. If you’re lucky, they have homemade sorrel to drink and real black cake for dessert. Home cooking the way it’s supposed to be! My Bajan soul revels in every meal I get here - a small, neighborhood joint worth the trip to 145th.
Rice was good and the price for the amount of food you get is good!
Had the curried goat w/rice & peas & cabbage. This is more like Moms cooking than pure restaurant food. More down home & not polished. Goat should be a little more tender. Good medium sized portion. Prices are reasonable. Need more Jamaican or Caribbean pastries.
I was my first time trying the food and O love it I really recommend this place 🤗
TERRIBLE, THIEVES!! Called asking for more money after placing order. Scam business, order your food elsewhere.
The food is tasty but they dont always have the food I want when I go there they run out of stuffed way too often and one time I saw a guy behind the counter getting food for himself that was so odd I dont care if hes the owner or if he works there its just didnt look right. So in conclusion they need to improve on certain aspects of their company but the food is on point no complaints for me especially when its actually there
Great food friendly staff. Eat here often for good comfort food
Best Jamaican Fish Soup i ever Had !!!! 😄😄The Sad News is they only make it on Wednesday 😢. Good. News 🙂Chef promised to make Some Fish Soup on Xmas Eve !!!
So so Good. I had the oxtails with jerk chicken, rice, cabbage, and yams. So good. They give you a good portion of food and it is affordable! The customer service is great and the people are so kind.
I was happy to see a Jamaican spot near me but I find the spot to be a bit rude. I guess Im going back to 125th for my food going forward.
Besides a rude customer skipping me and being greedy with begging for more cabbage and holding up the lady from making other orders it was pretty good the Mac and cheese was ok the rice was good and the oxtails was ok but the gravy that was made was a good base for the rest of the food everything went well together!I it also came with like 3 baby plantains that was fried good !!!
The food is amazing so far....But always beware of unagreeable individuals around here.
Clean environment, good customer service.
Great food! The oxtail is really good. So is the candied yams and collard greens. This is a great mix of Jamaican food vs Soul good!
Aside from having a deep rooted love for Caribbean dishes, here at Wats On Your Plate.. you get good portions of some good eats, for your moneys worth!
Brown stew chicken with rice and cabbage was fingerlickin good! I also tried their freshly squeeze juices it was amazing !! I will definitely recommend this place.
Average food, however its a great value. Large plate is alot of food. Jerk is not spicy has more of a sweet taste
Great food and great service, the server was patient and very friendly and always kept a smile. Food was served hot and reminds you of back home
Kenny is the best! Good flavor, all the dishes we had were tasteful and delicious! Cant wait to go back....great service!
One of the better Caribbean food places in the area. Theres not much seating but the food is worth taking out.
I never bought food here but my daughter gave me some of her food that she brought there and it was very good now I am going to get all my food from them now something different tried of Spanish food don’t eat too much of Chinese food
Enjoyed their food. Love the Chicken Soup.
I had the oxtails with rice. I was full of flavor BUT not very filling. I will go back tho
Very tough oxtails meat, they were not tender at all. The jerk chicken tasted like hospital food, NOT enough seasoning. 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿 Never again!!
Amazing food all around, great to have a Jamaican spot in the neighborhood!!
Would surely recommend visiting this place. Exceptional vibes, fresh dishes, great customer service. I recommend this place.
Excellent cook anything he cook is great. Customer service is also beautiful people.
I was craving west Indian food. Great choice.
Very tasty food. Recommend.
Most of the food tastes good. Havent had any bad experiences with this place yet.
You dont get your moneys worth. If really hungry not the place to go
Nice taste but the stew chicken is more like stewed chicken bones.
Loved everything from all of the dishes to the friendliness of the staff. Thank you and I shall return.
They changed owners amd chefs now the Jerk Chicken is not as tasty.
The worst, you pay almost 20 dollars for a large to barely get any meat or food
Good

2020-08-18Today is Tuesday August 18th, 2020. Im all for supporting black businesses but Im going to be completely honest today. I ordered a medium sized Curry goat with white rice, cabbage, and plantains. I also got a piece of Jerk Chicken on the side. The total came up to $18. Im really upset because the medium sized plate was small and he gave me way more rice than Curry goat. The rice covered more than half of the plate!! (Look at the picture)The plantains were burnt and nasty. But I can say the jerk chicken and the curry goat were good but other than that Im very disappointed. I used to come here a lot but after today I wont be back for a while.

2021-11-12Listen, I come here almost as often as every Monday. This might be my favorite place in the city and for more reasons than one. Namely, I love the people that work here. You are taken care of and treated with warmth and respect. The food. Really doesn’t get any better. For 9 bucks or so (before tax), I get a medium jerk chicken plate with plantains and cabbage and rice and peas and the best jerk sauce there is. And when they have it, I get their pineapple ginger drink. It’s glorious. From the moment I come in to the moment I leave. Go here and enjoy it for yourself.

2018-08-28I was going to get a juice but the food smelled so good that I ordered a fish. It was Blue Snapper and tasted very good.Only thing was that they told me it will take 10 min but it took 20 min. If I was not in rush, it was ok but I was meeting someone and it was a bit frustrating to wait double time. If it is not a daily special, prepare to wait for a while.

2019-02-08Good food prices are decent right off of the 1 train so it’s convenientGot of course jerk chicken and oxtail gravy my favorite
Review №8
2017-11-29One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood.The food is outstanding, and a small plate are actually a small mountain of food. The jerk chicken is spectacular, but the oxtail and the brown stew are also excellent. BBQ chicken was moist and tender and the sauce was special. Next time I might have them put the jerk sauce on the chicken, and see how that works out.Each plate comes with 2 or 3 sides. I usually get mac & cheese, cabbage, and plantains, which are all really good.I usually get a ginger infused sorrel juice with my meal. Its a terrific compliment.The family/staff is really kind and friendly, and theres a good vibe in this nice family restaurant.

2020-04-16I couldnt wait to go home to open my bowl and start eating. Omg the food is so delicious!!!! Today was my first time purchasing food from here. The rice and beans is so gooo! The goat is perfect just the way I like it. I will definitely be ordering next time.Also for the bad reviews: Are you guys serious??? Its better not to put too much salt because not much people can handle it. So if you think its bland just dash some salt on it.
