My Jamaican friend was raving about their fried chicken so I went to try. My first experience was not delightful since I was given an old chicken. I asked for gravy of curry goat which I liked the most. My next visit I ordered medium size curry goat and it tasted way better than golden krust cause that’s the only place I know where to buy Jamaican food from lol. Anyways I was told not to go to Mt.Vernon at night cause it’s dangerous I ignored that warning. I had to buy a curry goat so I did. Funny thing there was a line of people and I witnessed some unexpected interaction with customer and server. I was warned about the people. No complaints about that except for when the server is rushing to get me out I wasn’t done ordering.Since I’m the only non black buying food there the person in front of me let me order first. Every single person ahead of me is ordering curry goat. That was my main purpose of going there to get platter of curry goat and it didn’t disappoint. The taste was on point fair price and I ordered extra chicken wing and a thigh. She gave me more than I asked for which I appreciate. Will definitely come back again to try the oxtail but during daylight.

I ordered 2 orders of jerk chicken rice and peas and the sorrel juice even though I came for stew fish rice and peas. Food is good no complaints about that still no excuse for the level of rudeness the service sucks too much attitude from females who really should just be mad at themselves. It’s not my fault they decided to show up at work looking like raga muffins. I called to order ahead the seafood and was told they don’t take orders ahead of time now when I stepped into the establishment they have posted clearly to call for seafood ahead of time. I won’t be going back myself I’ll have others pick my food up or use DoorDash cause them females is nasty. The juice mixes well with henny! Ok this is an update I ordered my food about an hour ago it doesn’t taste good at all. I had them cut my chickens up and all I got was bones and they had the nerve to only give me a small spoonful of vegetables and the rice was hard. It’s not real jerk sauce, don’t go here Mt Vernon has other places to eat that respect your money I got a plate full of rice and everything two small jerk rice and peas order and two of the sorrel drinks cost $34 no wonder the windows is blacked out. Go around the corner to the left or the right better restaurants can be found. They charges so high cause the rent high but the food is low low quality. Please remember to tip if you enjoyed the service and food even if it’s just change because it eventually adds up this encourages the staff to continue giving customers good service. It’s not easy to easy to serve the public’s. Show appreciation.

The meat tasted stale the rice was clumpy. People ahead of me with darker complexion we’re getting fair amount of both rice and meats. When it came time to serve me, every time I asked for something, all the staff in the back laughed (rude). I don’t have an accent and I speak in complete sentences (that should have been my cue to walk out) but Ididn’t listen to my instinct. I ordered chicken soup, but what I received was more of a potato soup. I ordered akee and salted fish (the lady who continuously mocked me gave me 3/4 of a spoon of the akee and salted fish and filled my plate 95% of rice). The same happened with the rest of my orders. The rice was crunchy. Conclusion, if you want to be discriminated and over pay for mostly rice and potatoes, then this is the perfect place for you. Otherwise, there are other Caribbean restaurants in Mount Vernon and Bronx where prices are reasonable and you will be treated humanely. PS. They charge extra if you want oxtail sauce in your rice or food. I wish there was a -10 star option.

Came in yesterday and the lady serving around 3:15pm lightskin Jamaican women was disgustingly rude . Music they were listening to was too loud to the point I had to yell out my order & tell them to turn it down . She shouldn’t be serving food , I don’t want all her negative nasty energy going into my food. Was ignoring us on purpose . Never again

Decent food, however the prices are ridiculous. A restaurant without a menu makes no sense, all you see are what they charge extra for. Only a Jamaican restaurant would charge extra for gravy and LETTUCE.

This was my first time going to this restaurant and it will be my last. Food was poorly packaged and spilled out of the container (which was not closed properly) before I got home. There was no menu for me to view what food items they had available. The service was poor, and the employees were busy having social hour instead of taking orders from the customers. Super disappointed! I’ve heard many different things about the restaurant and I was looking forward to trying it out. What a let down!

The waitresses are rude they never have water and when it’s crowded they’re in the kitchen talking not serving worst customer service.

Richie Rich has good food, undoubtedly. I will not take that away from them. My first visit to this location was as expected, waiting for more time then I would’ve liked with two people in front of me. But my issue is with my second visit. I went because I wanted their fried dumplings and oxtail. When I went, there were only two dumplings left and the people in front of me weren’t ordering them. A guy came from the area behind the curtains to the right of the entry door, without a mask, and took one. Then the guy who was washing dishes, came over to the food, without a mask, and took the last one. I personally find it disgusting that the employees who are not serving the food, come around the food unmasked in the height of a pandemic and pick at it. I will not be returning to the location, I’ll gladly go to The Bronx where I haven’t witnessed such activity.
