Jamaica House Restaurant

This is a Richmond staple for Jamaican cuisine. And I pay them a visit from time to time. Unlike some other local Caribbean food spots around town Jamaica House usually is stock and never runs out of their menu items. Food is good and hot. I ordered the Jerk chicken with peas, rice, & cabbage. For the most part everything this time around was all good except for the small teaspoon amount of cabbage . I ordered carry out so the cabbage quantity was not visible until I got home. Other than that everything thing else was “Irie.” I also partook in their chicken, beef, and veggie patties. They were a decent size and had a good amount of filling. And surprisingly after a slight 15min commute home, everything was still nice and hot when got there.

The food does not taste the same as before. It definitely doesn't taste authentic anymore. I ordered a large jerk chicken with extra gravy. Not only did I not have the extra gravy, there was barely any gravy on the chicken. The little chicken I was given. I called and the manager Aaron offered me extra gravy. After I advised him if I didn't live 30 min away I would return the food. He also said that next time he'll give me a free side of gravy. I also advised the chicken didn't have much flavor just taste like baked chicken. I asked him multiple times did he think me coming back there for extra gravy was the solution to which he responded what do you want me to do. I didn't get an apology or anything offered besides extra gravy.

Long time customer, well over 2 decades used to stand 10 toes with them when the debate of Richmond’s best Jamaican spot was ever the topic, but over the past few years right around the time they switched to their current location I’ve noticed a decline in the food be that quality, quantity and now price for what’s being served. My last order was the straw that broke the camels back. My order came to $40 it was two combination platters that had Ox tails and Curry chicken with their normal side dishes of rice & peas with cabbage. I received 3 oxtails per order and cabbage wasn’t cooked. This is intolerable for especially for someone who has so much history with this place. Curry chicken was a 5 at best. The inconsistency is also a huge factor. Sometimes my curry chicken is flavorful with po

Amazing Jamaican food. Complex flavors. We can't wait to come back. This place was slammed with both eat in and take out customers. It is a well oiled machine. Great service and the quality food flowed. Fast and efficient. Super nice staff. Best Oxtails ever. The Chicken curry was awesome.

My food was horrible. Got 2 curry goat dinners. My food tasted like a European made it, deep in the caucus mountains!! Will NOT be returning. Tried to let some time pass and give it another shot, food worse than the last time.
