Reviews for The Dutch Pot Jamaican Restaurant in Miami Gardens, FL

Love the food but we have to do better with wait time Why is there only one server for about 15 people I?ve been in the line for... over 15 min and I?m still at the same spot ?. You need to hire more people to supply the demand Read more

My last time purchasing food from this establishment. The rice was horrible & that's a first. The rice is always good. The... food wasn't seasoned at all. I would have been better of making a sandwich at home. Read more

Do not order the Fry Chicken at all!! I don?t even know why it?s on the menu. If you want to buy your dogs a plate then the fry... chicken is the way to go. It was so hard, dry, and not worth buying at all. Your jaws will be hurting if you try to eat it. Sadto say at one point they had good fry chicken when they first open now it?s only went to my dogs to eat for me. My son couldn?teven eat it. To drive back and embarrass them in the restaurant will be a waste of gas and and more money in gas than it wouldto even get my money back. No no no don?t order the fry chicken stay away. Remove fry chicken from menu it?s not fry chicken,it?s rock chicken at this point. Read more

Wonderful staff, early morning smiles make my day three to four days a week. Patient and professional, take time out to explain... menu. Presentation of food and cleanliness is phenomenal as well as great tasting food. Keep up the great work it is not goneunnoticed. Read more

4 stars for the quality of food. This is the spot for Jamaican dishes. Food is flavorful, delicious and consistent every time.... Meats are all tender & thoroughly seasoned - especially all the chicken (brown stew, curry, jerk) & the oxtails. I really likethat the food is served at a hot temperature. Dutch Pot has one of my favorite white rices with that hint of coconut milk. Idon't even order the peas and rice anymore. On the other hand, the festival (fried dough) is very sweet and quitedense. Service..... *s i g h* I prefer to go inside so I can ask for gravy on the rice to my liking but it takes twice aslong to be served inside as it does going through the drive-thru. They have signs up about being short-staffed but from myobservations, on the inside, it's moreso inefficiencies in the way plates are prepared. Put two people stationary on the lineand it will fly. The servers get to choose how *and when* they want to make plates, so there are times no plates are beingmade, even with a line to the door. Meanwhile, the ONE person making the online orders has made 20 plates while customers arestanding in an unmoving line. It's maddening. If the food wasn't so good, I'd leave every time. That being said, thedrive-thru is a tight fit around the building but moves at a good pace and is a much more pleasant wait in the comfort of onesvehicle. Have to make mention of the $5.99 everyday special plate. It's a great amount of food for one person! This is thebiggest meal deal around! Across the menu, depending on the time of day, be mentally prepared for items to have run out. It'seither the oxtails ???? or the jerk chicken. So the earlier, the better to be safe and satisfied.

Welcome to Miami Gardens! I have been a resident of Miami Gardens for 40+ years. I will say Dutch Pot has come a long way from... humble beginnings in Manchester, JA. Thank you for bringing your business to our community. I will wait the 30 minutes in linejust for the red pea soup. So full of flavor and hearty ingredients! I am glad you added this location in our neighborhood! Read more

This is one of my favorite Jamaican food places in Florida. At the least in the North Miami region. I'll just share my... experience for today. I had a great experience for take out. Although, it is always pack at night, the staff do their best tomove out the lines quickly. I parked, then walked into the space, I had to wait in line but it was worth it. It was probablyaround 10 to 15 minutes I believe. Which is not that bad at all. I was able to get the brown stew chicken, which is one of myfavorites over here. It is well cooked and seasoned. I didn't taste any over bearing flavors. Which is a good sign. I can neverstop my self from getting the large lol. They give you a lot of food for that size. I may end up getting a smaller size from nowon. For personal reasons only. One thing I observed, was when a customer that was next to me complaining about the price theoxtail. I'm not the best at prices for stuff. Since I only have a handful of Jamaican places that I have gotten too. I know forsure they would of giving you a lot of food no matter the price. Matter of fact, there's a Jamaican spot in winwood that I can'tremember the name at the moment. It's more expensive and gives you smaller portions. As I am typing away, I remembered this lol.You guys be the judge of the oxtail price. When I saw their oxtail, it looked delicious lol. So y'all can let me know! Read more

Been coming here for a while now, I have tried most of the items on their menu and I can say that all the food here is... delicious, very well cooked, with a lot of flavor and they portions are generous too. Today I had the Oxtail meal with rice andpeas, sweet plantains and cabbage, the meat was tender and flavorful, the gravy over rice and peas put the crown on mylunch. Highly recommended. Read more
