Reviews for THE LIGHTHOUSE JAMAICAN RESTAURANT in Ewing Township, NJ

Haven?t been here in a few years and I forgot how spicy everything is. not sure why the food is so spicy. The Mac and cheese was... pretty dry burnt and there was hard circle like peas in the chicken.I try to support black owner restaurants but I probablywon?t be getting anymore food from here. It was just ok, spicy took over the flavor for me. Now customers can see how nasty youpeople are as a business. I have a right to my review and what I thought as a customer tasting your extremely spicy food. I haveordered from you a few times and both times the Mac and cheese was burnt and the food was OVERLY spicy. Hummingbird Caribbeanrestaurant in Trenton is Super tasty and I rather take the 30 min drive there than the 7 min drive to your place. Your food isjust not good sorry. My opinion. Read more

The curry goat is A1 Lawd!! Rice and peas A1!! The macaroni is a joke lol... Just noodles... Please learn a new recipe. Its... really easy. Oh and my beef patty was burnt inside and out. Please take more pride in your craft. Read more

We ordered jerk pork and mac and cheese for one dish. Oxtail, rice and peas, and plantains for the other dish. My wife, who's... Jamaican, said her oxtail dish was just "ok". My pork had a ridiculous amount of bone and fat on it. Like big slabs of fat.Also, it was just drenched in jerk sauce. I like jerk, but this was way too much. The actual meat, when we were able to get toit, was not bad. But there wasn't much of it that was edible. The mac and cheese was a joke. There was very little cheese in itand it was basically just plain elbow noodles. Very bland and plain. And they still use styrofoam containers. The food is betterat any number of Jamaican restaurants in the Trenton area, and they all use recyclable togo containers. We wanted to give thisplace a try, but we absolutely won't be back. And we encourage others to try elsewhere as well. Read more

Best oxtails and rice and beans in the area! I promise you won?t be disappointed. Good service and clean. Best food by far... respectfully. I?ve never had a problem going there, workers are friendly and get straight to business. You spend money on goodquality food. Honestly speaking I will give majority of my check to this establishment whenever I?m craving good food. ??????? Read more

My family has patronised this business for well over 3 yrs and it keeps getting worse and worse. Having worked in hospitality... for more than a decade, I am fully aware of the impact reviews have on operations. Hence, I'm always very easy on businesses butI just can't let this slide by. I am also aware of recent global trends, which have led to higher prices. However, somebusinesses have taken and are still taking undue advantage of their customers. The prices keep going up by the day and it'sgotten ridiculous. When I complained, which is well within my right, the older lady behind the counter who I thought would havea little bit of manners had the nerve to tell me " don't come back". Who says that to a customer? What she forgets is, withoutus, she will shut down. I told her I never will and I meant it. Rude and obnoxious!! Please stay away. Read more

A very bad food. I ordered for oxtail source and I was given a black leftover sauce mix with sugar and what ever. They told me... it was made with onion and herbs and was charged over $30. I threw everything out. So disgusting. Am not posting on a wrongwebsite. I went to UPS closer to you around 5:30pm and entered the restaurant to get some at Ewing NJ. There is a Dollar Generaltoo. Ask the one who was there around that time. A Ghana lady bought oxtail source worth a little over $30. I know what amtalking about. Read more

Great food, service and prices. Very friendly and courteous family run restaurant. Food made with love and consistently good... qaulity, which is hard to find. One of best for Jamaican food. Right off the El at 52nd st. & Market Near hookah bar. *Update*restaurant seems to be closed. Owner stated months ago that would be renovating, but doesn't look like they're gonna bereopening. It's a shame. They were really good. But location gave their business problems. Read more
