Great food. Poor service and be prepared to wait all day
The food at Jamaica House is excellent. I drove over 30 miles to get some delicious oxtail with rice and peas. This Resturant has authentic Jamaican food.
The Best!!!. Hands down this is the best Jamaican food in Richmond!!!
I got the coco bread and curry chicken with rice and cabbage in a takeout order for <$15. The coco bread reminded me of a slightly sweet brioche bun. The flavors of the chicken curry were amazing and it lasted me two meals so it’s definitely a great value. The only reason it’s not 5 stars was because I had to pick out many tiny pieces of bone I kept biting on, but overall I would eat here again.
The jerk chicken, rice and peas, and cabbage is amazing. The chicken was juicy and fell off the bone. Delicious. The cabbage is tender and slightly sweet. The chicken is seasoned like “somebody who likes to eat is cooking.” It’s very clean inside. Busy but efficient. The picture is of a “Large” with plantains added.
I've ordered the curry goat, beef patty, and the fruit punch. Fruit punch was super good! Loved it, would probably go again just for that. Beef patty was good, but nothing to write home about. Curry goat was fine too, but it was also the first time that I've had goat meat before, so it was a bit of an odd flavor for me. There was a small hair inside--didn't really bother me, but I docked a star for that since others might not like it.
Solid food! Great drinks.
Finally ! Some good Jamaican food, didn’t know I had to leave the DC area to find it. It was worth it! Came in town for the weekend for a conference this was my first stop because I didn’t have lunch yet. Staff were all very nice. Food is made to order and it took 30min. I got the oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage, jerk wings and a beef patty. I will definitely be back! Great food!
Ordering was quick and easy. The menus were kept at the register where you order. They weren't easy to find. I ended up using their online menu. The food was amazing. I ate inside the restaurant. My only complaint about that is the lack of space. When it gets busy, people line up right by the tables where people are eating. It can be kind of unsanitary. I don't like a lot of people breathing near my food!
The best chicken and curry I've ever had. I would eat there again. They also have vegetarian options and seafood options which is a big deal for me and my family.
Note : Parking near the restaurant can be complicated, so plan to walk a little way to get there.
