The food was not what was expected. The coco bread was not fresh it crumbled in my hand. I order fish cakes received 1 greasy half burnt fishcake expensive. For the price I was expecting two fritters. The curry chicken was peppery and salty everything would have been better if I had visited the store.. The choice for me would have been to find another meal or leave. So Disappointed.

Great! We ordered a medium Ox Tail with rice and Chicken Patties. Loved it all.
The staff was nice, I over heard them helping a few guys who didn’t know what they wanted. Casual seating for dine-in. Mostly take-away. Everyone who came in ordered to-go.
I loved the juices here. The strawberry ginger juice was fantastic. The cabbage was nice; mild but it went well with the flavors of everything else.
I’ve been recommended this place by a lot of people and finally decided to come try it 🙂 Now I’ll be recommending it too!

I’m a bit biased. The food is solid, but the crew and atmosphere definitely bring the Yahdee fast comfort food vibe. Get some pattie, tamarind balls, and Ting with your plate. Good place to pick up some water crackers in a pinch. IYKYK

I finally made my way to this Jamaican food place on Eddy Street!
I ordered to go. I’m not very familiar with this part of town, and I can be a bit of a Nervous Nellie in unfamiliar environments, so I played it safe this time. The location is a mixed bag–RI Hospital, Brown University practices, and then just a few steps down, gentlemen’s clubs so, your call.
Now, on to the food! They have the popular, made-in-house Jamaican patties that I enjoy so much. Finally, no more frozen versions. Of course, they were ah-ma-zing, right? I ordered beef and chicken patties and stopped myself from getting the veggie kind as well. As always, I’m in danger of overordering. I did give in to a side order of yellow rice–nothing special, but it wasn’t dry, so that counts as a win. I also ordered this fried chicken fillet-looking dish, and it turned out to be a fish cake (or fritter) called ‘Flitas’! Made with ground saltfish, it’s a serious tastebud stimulator. Yum. I wish I had ordered more than one because halfway through eating it, I didn’t want to share with my husband (again–see other reviews, lol). The Jamaican patties are large. The beef filling is moist and had a mild spice to it. The chicken filling is also moist and has a noticeable curry flavor. The crust are truly flaky. I also had the fried bread dough or dumplings. I liked the patties and saltfish fritters (my new favorite!) but found the dumplings only okay. These dishes are really greasy but oh-so-scrumptious.
If you’re in the mood for an exotic experience, check out the menu board, which boasts Callaloo (Amaranth), goat, oxtail, more kinds of fish, shrimp, and more. There are Breakfast items, Soup, et. al. There are at least six cooked dishes on display that you can choose from. Flames also has a great dessert menu. I was tempted to order a slice of rum cake–next time! Behind the counter, they also have Golden Krust sliced bread–Cinnamon and Jamaican varieties (I’m very intrigued by the latter and would definitely come back to try it).
I’m always delighted to discover new-to-me, lesser-known cuisines in Rhode Island. I hear they’ve been on Eddy Street for at least six years. I hope it continues on as there’s so much more I haven’t tried yet. No Jamaican Jerk Chicken for my first visit? I know, right? A travesty! I just got caught up in the excitement.
I hope you give it a shot if you’re in the area!

I got the stew chicken with rice and peas and two mild patties. It was really good and I’m sure it would have been better with the plantains but they didn’t have any at the moment. Either way this has been one of my go to spots locally for years and the taste has been consistent through out the years. I know some people feel like they fell off but they haven’t let me down and I’m happy to be loyal to them. The service is good some days and some days it’s not. This recent stop the service was good so no complaints from me. I look forward to stopping by again. My usual go to is oxtails but wanted to try something different.

Was craving beef patties..went in before work at around 4:45p… cost 8 dollars for 2 beef patties and 1 cocoa bread, one patty was sooo burnt, black, and dry, could not eat it, i don’t even know why they thought it was ok to sell that. the other was ok, but dry. I wanted a piece of cocoa bread to bring to work to make a sandwich, the lady asked asked if I wanted it “warmed up”i said no, bc I was going to heat it when I ate it, did not expect a literally frozen piece of bread..I heated it up, but it was dryer than a saltine on a hot day..so threw it away. staff today was not friendly or welcoming..I have had better experiences in the past..but literally those frozen beef patties from Market Basket tastes way better then the ones I received today.

The moment I walked in, I knew I wanted to get something. It smelled so good. The display was just as good. I would have loved to order a sampler plate if they had one. The people who served me were great and friendly. I ordered 2 plates. I ordered a plate with Oxtails, rice and peas and cabbage and then a plate of bbq chicken and white rice for my gf. The bbq chicken was my favorite, id definitely order it again. The oxtails were ok, they were soft but the only thing i wasnt a fan of was the sauce. I like my sauce thicker… it was better cold, im assuming bc the sauce thickened a little at that point. The rice was ok, i really liked the cabbage though. I would definitely go back. My gf brought me here bc she had tried some oxtails that her mom had ordered and she told me about it, but i didnt take into consideration that it was literally her second time having oxtails, so she doesnt really have much to judge off of. Next time ima get some bbq chicken and some jerk chicken.

Pretty damn good and flavorful. Nice clean bright inviting establishment. Lots of choices that were fresh and looked amazing. The only thing that might have used improvement was the veggies were more crisp than my liking but that’s probably just my preference. Also I don’t understand why I got charged more than I thought I should for my meal but I didn’t bother asking. $25 for a large and a water. Though I did ask for half chicken and half goat and some green beans. Maybe they counted the green beans as an extra side? Though prices are probably on par with other places of similar quality.
