Reviews for Elaine's Kitchen in Dallas, TX
My first time at Elaine?s, it wasn?t bad. The customer service was amazing. Lots of steady business. For myself the oxtails were... good, depending on the size (small) 3-4 pieces or (medium) 4-6 pieces. I wasn?t a fan of the Rice and Peas, and the cabbage withmixed Veggies were different but good. I am very selective when I have Caribbean, Jamaican, African foods, I want them to betruly authentic. If you looking for some of the cooking items like browning, some seasonings they have them there for sale. Iwould recommend you try for your self. ???????? ???????? Read more
It was ok. The collard greens tasted smoked and were pretty good. The oxtails weren't the best. The sauce on the oxtails taste... like regular brown gravy. Won't be returning. Read more
This used to be the place to eat. But now, they are over priced and the portions are ridiculous small. Not to mention the... quality of the food is HORRIBLE. I got the curry goat and there is no meat. Mostly bones. We also got the Large Oxtail plateand there was 5 small Oxtails and they were tough. Definitely not worth spending $42. Never again will we go here. And don'twaste your money. Not worth it. Read more
This place has gone down over the last few years. It can be a hit or a miss. Today I went by for beef patties. They weren?t... cooked right . They were microwaved instead of baked. I was so disappointed when I got back to work and found them like doughinstead of crispy. Read more

As I go out on my deployments, as a covid 19 travel Registered Nurse, I visit the local places of business in support of during... the pandemic. Typically on my day off it's when I catch up on chores and when afforded the time I also do my part in an effortto support the local tourist industry. But today, I am in need of a laundry day. Although I'm downtown Dallas, I find my wayover to MLK boulevard where I go over to the local laundromat. Here it's where it gets interesting. Is early afternoon and I'mdeveloping an appetite. I question the laundromat attendant about a nice place to go for lunch and immediately he suggestsElaine's....next door. "What type of food?" I ask. The attendant smiles and says,"the lick your plate kind." I walk next door,through the wrought iron fence and up to the building's front. Before I enter the wrought iron fence d area, I notice thesignage out front on the tall sign post above the wrought iron fence. In faded letters it reads Elaine's, along with the flag ofJamaica... the one Usain St. Leo Bolt aka #UsainBolt help to make even more popular being the world record holder in the 100 m,200 m, and four X 100 m relay. I open the door to the establishment, and immediately notice the fresh smell of peppers onionsand the like. I mean it smell as if grandmother is in the back cooking. Customers are masked up as well as the workers in thekitchen. It was an open kitchen and you can actually see your meal being prepared. The front clerk was unmasked but behind alarge plexiglass barrier. I glance over the menu at the counter and decide to try several items so I can take care of my hungerpains and share a detailed review. After a careful assessment of the variety of proteins meals available, I place my order andwait for it to be prepared and packaged. Elaine's is busy with bustling traffic of pickup orders that were called in, ordersthat were placed for car service pick up and folks like me, walk-ins. I don't wait very long for the large Read more
Hadn't been here in several years and I had the curry chicken peas and rice and cabbage. The chicken was very full of flavor... and tender. The plate was full and I made 2 meals out of it. Worth every penny! Read more
