"Ordered jerk Clinton beef patty and baked mac and cheese. Order came it was completely wrong. I received oxtail, rice and some vegetables that to be honest they were unrecognizable. I called they said the driver went home and I would have to bring it back, so I got in the car myself and headed to the store because it was only five minutes away. So I get there and they closed without waiting for me to exchange the order. So I end up not getting my food after driving to a rough part of town only to find they locked up on me. So I get back and decided to try the oxtail. It was terrible. Looked and tasted like they ran out of all seasoning in the entire restaurant. Couldn’t even take a third bite. I move on to the rice flavorless is not a strong enough adjective it would be almost a compliment to what that rice tasted like it will haunt me for the rest of my life. Veggies didn’t look good enough to try, even though I ordered a Arizona they also put a frozen solid lemonade in the bag which was just as heavy as the full plate of food I threw out never again."

This is by far the best Jamaican food I've had in New Jersey. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but I still highly recommend it. Food: 5/5
Karla
I ordered the j chicken, Mac and cheese, and peas and rice. 10/10 chefs kiss. Amazing food! Probably the best chicken I’ve had in town. ??

The oxtails had good flavor, but they were mostly made up of bone and fat. If you think it’s acceptable to serve customers a beef patty that is this old and unappetizing, it makes me question the quality of everything else on your menu. I won’t be returning. View menu

My wife (Jamaican) had the oxtail, rice and peas, mac and cheese, and cabbage. She gave her meal a solid 7 out of 10. I (US) had the j chicken and mac and cheese. I gave my meal a solid 8 out of 10. Here’s the bad part. We bought a beef patty and it was obvious it had sat all day. I can only give it a 3 out of 10. I must say out of many different Jamaican restaurants we’ve been to, and outside of being in Jamaica, this has to be the most authentic food out there. We will return. ?

Last night we ordered a take-out from Jamaican Empire (located in East Trenton, between North Clinton and North Olden avenues) and we are happy to report that the food was good. The oxtail stew offered in medium and large sizes, and there is a wide variety of choices (two choices per order), from fried plantains and mac cheese to white rice, rice and peas, or steamed vegetables). The most popular side usually served with oxtail, steamed cabbage, is served by Jamaican Empire as steamed veggies, with addition of corn and carrots. The prices are cheaper that at most of the competitors (large portion is sold for $20 through GrubHub vs $27 or $29 offered by other Jamaican restaurants in the area)...
