Food was amazing!!! I would definitely go back again?? ????????????????
My wife (Jamaican) had the oxtail, rice and peas, mac and cheese, and cabbage. She gave her meal a solid 7 out of 10. I (US) had... the jerk chicken and mac and cheese. I gave my meal a solid 8 out of 10. Here?s the bad part. We bought a beef patty and it wasobvious it had sat all day. I can only give it a 3 out of 10. I must say out of many different Jamaican restaurants we?ve beento, and outside of being in Jamaica, this has to be the most authentic food out there. We will return. ???? Read more
Ordered jerk Clinton beef patty and baked mac and cheese. Order came it was completely wrong. I received oxtail, rice and some... vegetables that to be honest they were unrecognizable. I called they said the driver went home and I would have to bring itback, so I got in the car myself and headed to the store because it was only five minutes away. So I get there and they closedwithout waiting for me to exchange the order. So I end up not getting my food after driving to a rough part of town only to findthey locked up on me. So I get back and decided to try the oxtail. It was terrible. Looked and tasted like they ran out of allseasoning in the entire restaurant. Couldn?t even take a third bite. I move on to the rice flavorless is not a strong enoughadjective it would be almost a compliment to what that rice tasted like it will haunt me for the rest of my life. Veggiesdidn?t look good enough to try, even though I ordered a Arizona they also put a frozen solid lemonade in the bag which was justas heavy as the full plate of food I threw out never again.

Oxtails are flavored good but are mostly bone and fat. If you guys think it?s ok to serve a customer a beef patty this old and... nasty it makes me questions anything you serve. Lost a customer. Read more
Last night we ordered a take-out from Jamaican Empire (located in East Trenton, between North Clinton and North Olden avenues)... and we are happy to report that the food was good. The oxtail stew offered in medium and large sizes, and there is a widevariety of choices (two choices per order), from fried plantains and mac & cheese to white rice, rice and peas, or steamedvegetables). The most popular side usually served with oxtail, steamed cabbage, is served by Jamaican Empire as steamed veggies,with addition of corn and carrots. The prices are cheaper that at most of the competitors (large portion is sold for $20 throughGrubHub vs $27 or $29 offered by other Jamaican restaurants in the area), the food was good, the proportion of meat and sidesvery decent.

Okay so I order rice and peas with jerk chicken. First let me say I was never a fan of oven jerk chicken. It look more like... brown stew chicken. So that was a no no for me. Now for the taste and quality. The chicken tasted ok because it had the jerkspices. The rice and peas was hard and the gravy taste weird kinda like buttery. The cabbage was not A1 either. As a Jamaican Iwas disappointed of the taste. A real Jamaican that grew up in Jamaica would not approve of this. I couldn?t finish themeal Because the rice was hard and swimming in butter gravy that tasted funny. It should have been jerk sauce. Also this is myfirst time eating here. Have a lot of work to do flavor wise. Read more
