Ruthies Caribbean Kitchen

Stopped by on a Thursday evening. Amaaazing 10/10 service makes you feel like you’re right at home!! Huge portions! We had the goat curry and glazed salmon with plantains and mac and cheese and … The key lime pie was amazing Their juice and smoothie menu is amazing — we had sea moss with berries 10/10

We’ve been searching for good Caribbean food in the area and had no idea this gem was here! The inside is stunning—modern yet cozy with a luxurious touch. The owner herself greeted us at the door with such warmth, letting us choose any seat, and her energy made the whole experience even better. She was welcoming, friendly, and kept us entertained the entire time. I ordered the oxtail with rice and beans plus sweet potato, along with a tamarind drink—and wow, everything was incredible! The oxtail was so tender it literally fell off the bone 🤤. My husband went with the jerk salmon, and let’s just say he couldn’t stop eating. He was practically licking the plate clean!

Friendly and attentive staff. But food was disappointing. Fried plantains appetizer was on the house, due to long wait. I understand long waits, when food is cooked to order.. we appreciated the freebie and plantains came out hot, sweet and were fried well . We ordered the fishcakes which were tasty , but not crispy. House hot sauce was bold and really spicy, jamaican spicy. Good with the fishcakes. We also ordered the chicken roti. Roti was decent, but more potatoes than chicken, and I feel like it was a tortilla not roti. The red beans and rice that came with the entrees was really good. Well seasoned and hit the spot on this cold evening. But the three rating is based on the jerk chicken and the oxtails.. Both were just okay. Oxtails weren't tender and not seasoned how Jamaican oxtail

I was so excited to see this place just a few steps from my motel! The beef patty was cooked to perfection with a buttery, flaky pastry. The festival was fresh and warm with raspberry syrup. Delicious slices of sweet potatoes and finished with amazing mango mousse (not pictured). And honey, I ate it all!!

Decided to treat myself for Mother's Day lunch here, but seems like only one person was cooking, and one person was waiting tables and handling the register. My food was fresh, but they were so late preparing the Oxtails I ended up leaving them. I thought jerk wings would have a rub on them, but these are glazed. And they didn't take the cake from the freezer so I had an icy slice of Red Velvet Cake. Friendly waitress.
