On my first visit, I ordered a large vegan plate with BBQ Jerk Jackfruit, arroz con gandules, y cabbage. Soy cubana pues I felt obliged to add some Cuban black beans as well. Then I was informed that their Festival is also vegan, so despite my gluten intolerance, I had to try those too.

JACKFRUIT-
This vegan wonder fruit requires some serious prep, otherwise it ends up being bland and boring. When I saw the big chunks of jackfruit I was worried, thinking it’d be lacking in flavor. I have never been so happy to be wrong! The have excelled at the near impossible feat of thoroughly marinating every single nano inch of each piece of jackfruit. The flavor and texture were phenomenal! I was so impressed! 10/10

ARROZ CON GANDULES –
Very good in a subtle way. Perfect combination with the jackfruit and Cuban Black Beans.

CABBAGE-
Delicious!!

CUBAN BLACK BEANS-
The test with beans is to try them by themselves before adding them to rice. These beans passed the test. Very flavorful on their own.

FESTIVAL-
Cooked fresh (made to order). Delicious!

They also have a nice array of fresh juices and lemonades. The juices are $2 higher than the lemonades. I tried the following:

Pineapple Ginger Juice – so fresh!! Real pineapple, real ginger. Tasted like it was just made that day. 10/10

Strawberry Mango was very good too.

I went back the next day and tried their collard greens, Jamaican rice and peas, and habichuelas. They were all very good. I also ordered a gallon of the Pineapple Ginger juice.

My coworker got the salmon and said that it tasted better the second day than the first time.

Riddim n’ Spice successfully executes various flavors and dishes from across the West Indies. You feel an irie vibe as soon as you enter; and I received a warm welcome as soon as I walked in the door. It’s a spacious restaurant with a dedicated parking lot, so bring your whole crew.

Delicious food here. The build your own bowl will definitely fill you up. The chicken with jer sauce was quite tasty. My wife got the bbq jerk sauce and found it yummy as well.

Large portions so bring your appetite. I had the build your own bowl with chicken and BBQ jerk sauce ‘ really good. My husband had the build your own bowl with chicken and original jerk sauce – very good. Small amount of seating available. Service wasn’t the friendliest. I’m guessing most of their business is carry-out as she automatically grabbed a bag and seemed disconcerted when I said we’d be eating there. Based on other reviews, I’m guessing she was having a bad day.

Flavvvvvvaaaa!!
The fam chose to be underwhelmed by Shoney’s and Kami & I chose to try Riddim N Spice. I ordered the Large Vegan Plate I wanted the Curry Vegan Meatballs sooooo bad but they sold out by the time we got there! So, I ordered the BBQ jerk Jackfruit work Rice and Peas, Cabbage and Mac. It was actually delicious! I was so full! & it was Kami’s 1st time trying Jamaican food. She said she really liked the Jerk Chicken!

Went to Nashville for the first time and was randomly craving Jamaican food. Best decision ever. The guy at the counter once he saw my face he asked if it was my first time and made sure that I had a excellent time after that. He helped me avoid items that have coconut in them as I’m allergic. 10/10 experience. and the food was so good. that I went back again before I left and the woman who helped me was just as helpful and kind. I can’t wait to go back to Nashville to eat here again. I’m going to try the red snapper next time.

Maybe the best money I’ve spent this year. The lamb was perfect, and my mango passion fruit drink was perfect.

The patio is now one of my favorite spots in Nashville. Don’t miss this place!!

Yummmyyyy I’d for sure be back. I ordered the small oxtails with rice&peas with cabbage. It was pretty slow in there once I arrived but shortly after a line approached. So that’s always a great sign to see people come in right before closing. The worker was really nice and patience. You can tell he takes pride in his work.

You have to try their fresh squeeze’s beverages. I loved the pineapple and coconut drink. It tasted like a pina colada but not so sweet and thick.

My bf ordered the jerk chicken thighs, and I’d have to tell you. That was the juiciest chicken I’ve ever had.

Was visiting from Memphis for the day and wanted some Jamaican food. And found this on Yelp. This was my first time seeing a cafeteria style set up Jamaican place. The food was well seasoned. The only thing was it was a a lot of fatty pieces to the oxtail. I don’t eat oxtail a lot so I’m not sure if that’s normal or not. And since the food is served cafeteria style it not as hot as I would like it. I like my food steaming hot. This was just like a normal to Luke warm hot. But overall still very tasty!
