Wonderful Jamaican food. Today Dave was the only one in. Service was reasonably fast for 1 person. We ate in at the 1 table in the front. Mostly a carry out place. The ox tail, curried goat and jerk chicken we very good. The best was Ox tail and Curried Goat. Rice and peas(beans) we very good. This is not the place you go for atmosphere. The food is good. Be prepared to wait if it is busy or call your order ahead.

Was a small joint, so it’s more of a carry out place. The meals come with rice, fresh Cole slaw, plantains and your meat. The rice is quite spicy so after about three bites my lips are on fire. Both meats we tried were good but had bones so be careful.

My jerk chicken was Burnt, oxtail was ok, rice was not good, too much water made the rice too soft and too sticky. Jasmine rice may solve this. Next time I’m in town I will stop by again. Im expecting that real Caribbean flava.

Jamaican Dave’s is amazing! This was our first time trying oxtail and it was fantastic! The rice and peas had a great flavor, the cole slaw is fresh and sweet and the festival has a nice cinnamon flavor. The service was so friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place to return to next time we are in Grand Rapids!

I ordered online, got there & there was a sign on the door that said “be back at 1pm” my order said it would be ready at 12:19pm. I called him & he said he wasn’t taking orders & that I would have to figure out how to get my money back. Neatness to say I was not impressed. Very disappointed & mad bc I know his food is good.

This isn’t a place that one should come to expecting to sit and dine, but the food is out-of-this-world amazing. I had the curry goat dinner, and it was everything I could have asked for: spicy, savory, gamey deliciousness. I was instantly taken back to the streets of Kingston, where I had curry goat for the first time.

Amazing, food is great and service is great also. I ordered the jerk chicken and the taste was explosive and very tasty. The order came with more than I thought, it had rice, cabbage, and bread that is sweet. 10/10 would definitely go to again.

I am impressed with the quality of their food! Grand Rapids is not an ethnic food city. Pleasant staff.

Great place. Great food. Big portions. Take out only due to covid. Oxtails fell off the bone. Rice, beans and plantains were cooked perfectly.
