I ordered the oxtail plate with rice and peas and steamed cabbage. They give you a healthy portion that will definitely fill you up. The meat was tasteful and tender with their marinade. I also ordered the beef patties witch were soft and flaky as they should be. Would highly recommend. Will be going back to try their oxtail chessesteak. Be forewarned that their is a bit of a wait time before getting your food so its recommended that you place your order ahead of of time.

Food looks great on social media and in person, but the taste didn't compare (was just good, nothing special). I've been meaning to try Jamaica Pon Di Road for a while and was finally in the area, so I got some take-out to bring home for lunch. I ordered 1 meal (Oxtail with rice and peas, curry vegetables, and plantains), plus an order of Jerk wings and jerk chicken for $58.97 plus tax. The wings came with 2 containers of sauce. The quantity of food served was very reasonable for each item, and it was nice to get a meal from a Jamaican restaurant without excessive rice. Oxtail: Looked great, quality well-trimmed cuts of meat, very tender, good gravy, just lacked rich Island flavor. The rice and peas were excellent, plantains good, and curry vegetables were a miss. I should have got the traditional side - steamed cabbage. Jerk Chicken and Wings: Looked great but the wings were mediocre and the chicken legs and thighs tasty, but neither can be classified as Jerk. The meat lacked jerk and smoke flavor, and most of the flavor was on the skin. Seems as though the great jerk appearance comes from regularly basting with their Jerk sauce and not from jerk seasoning that is allowed to sit on the meat overnight and permeate the meat. Take-out Service: Service was good. Line moved fast, they text you when your food is ready, and mine was ready in 5 minutes.

I saw an ad on Facebook for the oxtail cheesecake, but they were sold out when I arrived. I ordered the oxtail egg rolls, an oxtail plate, and an Acres Shakers juice instead. The wait was long, but the staff was amazing with great customer service. The food is soooo good and definitely worth the long wait. I would definitely come back, just much earlier in the day.

Food was flavorful. Portions were ample size . Thr jerk and curry chicken were seasoned to perfection. Plantains and cabbage cooked just right . Rice and peas didn’t miss . Wish the jerk sauce was a bit spicier The weather was nice so we ate outside at the picnic tables . Nice little vibe with music inside or outside .
