Rock Steady Spindale

This place popped up on my news feed today. It's Monday. Everything is usually closed. This miracle maker, is not. Sometimes in life you stumble across the most beautiful gems in the most unlikely of places. This is that. Tucked into a little shopping mall sits Rock Steady. I was so excited to see a Jamaican restaurant. When I got there I was greeted kindly by Roxie. Owner. Chef. She mentioned she cooks with love. Now, I'm in love. The food was amazing. I couldn't decide what to order. So I ordered enough for two. Don't judge me. First, potato and leek soup. Thick, creamy and just what I needed to warm my soul on a chilly day. Next, the salmon eggrolls. OH. MY. GOD. I swear I heard angels sing with my first bite. You ever eat something soooo good you have to chuckle? Because you're THAT ha

I found Rock Steady Caribbean Cuisine and Soul Food through Google Maps and, after reading the reviews, decided to make it my Saturday afternoon food destination. I’m so glad I did. The owner, Roxie, is absolutely delightful. In fact, every single person working there was friendly and welcoming — the kind of place where you genuinely feel like they’re glad you came in. That matters. I arrived mid-afternoon, so it wasn’t busy, and I let the waitress make the food recommendation. I ordered the jerk chicken with two sides: rice and beans and fried plantains. When my plate arrived, I went straight for the rice and beans. I’m usually not a huge fan, but I wanted the full experience - and wow. I could not stop eating them. They were that good. When Roxie came by and asked if I wanted gravy, I

Chef Roxie knocks it out of the park with her cooking AND with her hospitality!! Me and my son had the pleasure of checking this place out today. It is so refreshing to see someone who takes pride in their craft and enjoys sharing their love through food! We will be back very soon. I highly recommend the Jerk chicken egg rolls!!!! They are fantastic! "That is the sweetest lady in the world"- my son

If you are looking for flavor and a unique place, then Rock Steady is for you. I had the Caesar Salad with Salmon and Brina had the jerk chicken. It was delicious. And the chef gave us a sneak peak taste of ox tail...oh my it was so good. The spice is excellent, you can tell she loves cooking. True Soul Food. We will be back.

Wow! In the area for my son’s wedding and stumbled into this lovely Jamaican restaurant.But what made it stand out was the food and the owner! Seriously the most moist, tender jerk chicken I’ve ever had. The sweet potato fries, the pumpkin chicken soup (it’s broth based, more like a chicken veggie soup, and the jerk egg rolls were all on point. They are moving in next few days to a bigger building. Can’t wait to come back to check it out.
