Contreju Jamaican Restaurant

For starters I love the atmosphere and the lady at the front was really nice. I normally go to Island Spice but this place was on my way home. Anyways the food was good but tasted like soul food? Oxtail tasted like beef tips? Cabbage was giving Sunday dinner and plantains were good. Was bad but didn’t taste Jamaican. 3/5

I was sorely disappointed in the food. The oxtail was tender, but flavorless and the sauce was almost tasteless. The bbq chicken was average with no flavor but the store bought tasting bbq sauce. The beef patty was well spiced and tasty. The service was fast and friendly, but the dinning area was so hot it would have been more comfortable to eat in my car.

Very disappointed. This place has the worst attitude in the food business. I stopped coming here for years because of poor customer service and decided to give it another chance, hoping things had improved. Unfortunately, they have not. For lack of better words for description the older woman with the eye- working there was extremely unprofessional and unwelcoming. Her dismissive and rude attitude alone is enough to drive customers away and will ultimately hurt this business if it continues. Additionally the food she cooks as well is no longer good either! Customer service matters just as much as the food. If you dont want to argue just to eat then stay away!

I stopped by for some beef patties and coco bread. Staff was nice so i am unsure what the reviews are talking about they were abrupt yes, but that’s how many non-anerican cultures are. She was still all smiles. Beef patties were great. I don’t get out for lunch much so if i find myself nearby i will be back

So this is a nice family Jamaica owned restaurant. The food did not mess. It was on points. I had jerk chicken, and a beef patty with some juice. Meat was falling off the bone. Perfect temperature a nice spot to grab something quick & thoroughly cooked with authenticity.
