The chef is an authentic Jamaican with a great personality. I ordered oxtail and rice and peas with a side of plantains and cabbage and I have to give the food only one star. Man that oxtail was so salty and they soaked the rice with the gravy. My son barely touched his meal and when I tasted it I realized that it was a mess. While I can appreciate the Jamaican atmosphere of the restaurant I want to encourage them to try to do better with the food.

Oxtail dinner with cabbage and rice and peas, was to die for. The cabbage ALONE made me want to hug the cook. The plantains were perfectly done and the beef patty was incredible. Plenty of food for 2 people but I refused to share.

Not impressed at all. We tried it. You know something is up when the person takes your order and then prepare and cook your order. We ordered Brown Stew Chicken and Jerk Chicken. It took about 15mins after ordering. When I opened the to-go containers I couldn’t tell the difference between the orders. Turns out the jerk chicken is baked with the wet jerk sauce that you can buy from the local grocery store and the brown stew wasn’t brown at all. I don’t know. The beef patty was good. I can say that. If you are looking for an authentic Jerk I say go somewhere else. I know some of you might disagree, but this is worth it. It’s not what I’m accustomed to. I have eaten a lot of Jamaican Jerk plenty of times while in Jamaica. This wasn’t it. A lot of the items on the menu were not available. Those items are cooked to order. A more longer wait time. Oh yeah, bring your own soap to wash your hands. There was no soap or towels in the bathroom. Best of luck.

I met a friend here for lunch. I ordered the lunch special grilled fish and he ordered the jerk chicken wrap. Delicious!!!I live on the north side and he stay in Daytona but we both agreed it was worth the drive! I will definitely be back!

The food was delicious, I had the backend shrimp, the vegetables were fresh and the rice and beans were really good! Skip the fries, they are from a frozen bag, go with the plantains. It is summer, the AC wasn’t quite up to par. Get takeout. The owner family is nice and the experience is authentic!

We visited Mad O Seafood for the first time last night. Our daughter picked it for her last meal in Jax before heading off to college. What a great experience! The food is fantastic, especially the Bob Marley chicken. The staff were so hospitable and kind, and especially helpful to me with my gluten allergy choices. At the end of our meal Chef Irie personally walked out to say hello and treated our table to an order of their beignets to celebrate our daughter’s send-off to college. We will definitely be back and looking forward to exploring the whole menu, and their lunch specials!

Decided to give Mad O Caribbean a shot. Ordered the whole snapper “jumbo”, jerk chicken quesadillas, and conch fritters. The food looked pretty good BUT there was absolutely NO flavor in any of the dishes. I know conch prices have gone up but geez…there one small chunk of conch in each flavorless fritter. I gave 3 stars because at least the Bob Marley playlist was jammin

Looking around for Jamaican / Caribbean restaurants open after 7. I came across Mad O, and I’m so glad my father and I stopped here. The jerk chicken was an easy 9.5/10 , the plantains were amazing, the jerk sauce is to die for, and the coco bread was FRESH at 7:30pm (that’s unheard of in Maryland , where we are from). Over all experience was phenomenal and we will be back for sure.

I feel bad about how long it took me to sit down to write this review; but I guess, better later than never.

Not good.. your welcome for the donation. I ordered jerk chicken dinner with no jerk sauce to taste the meat. The Portion was small, the chicken was not from a grill and was cut in to pieces that did not equal a full chicken leg. I ordered the dinner size upon recommendation. I do not recommend.
