I know Jamaican food and I know it very well! Let's break this review down in segments. Location - Not the best neighborhood but in no way the worst, just don't expect valet! This store is very clean and has a open floor plan! Food - I had the jerk chicken and fried chicken both which were cooked and flavored very well. The rice is OK but really shines when sauce is placed on it. The jerk chicken was excellent and the sauce placed on the rice from it was nice and spicy (just the way I like it). My sister was with me and got a jerk chicken and two oxtails and from what I understand it was really good too. My only issue is that when we asked for oxtail gravy on the side (like in a small cup or some type of very small container) the woman behind the counters facial expression changed and she said that it was an unusual request that she could not do???? Huh? I have ate at many many MANY JAH restaurants and let me tell you people either will ask for certain sauce on the rice (ex: curry or oxtail) or they will ask for a side of the sauce and it has always been given... until now. Because of this I could not get a side of oxtail gravy for myself or my sister as we did not want it on the rice right then and there. Customer Service - Outside of the sauce fiasco the woman behind the counter just seemed like she was "done" for the day. She wasn't horrible but wasn't very happy. Overall it's about the food and the food was good. Is it the best Jamaican restaurant? No, however it's pretty high in my ranking and I believe that this area is lacking in Caribbean restaurants so I'm sure it's a gem to many. If I'm in the area I will try them again.

My review seems to have disappeared....at one point, I rated this 5 stars, friendly service, wonderful tasty food...unfortunately it has gone downhill.... The past several times I have gone in the food is not ready, is not hot, or the service has been rude and poor. The location is usually kept clean in Gold Coast Shopping Center. They have great lunch specials BUT you risk a long wait, possible rude service, or food not ready. I used to go all the time...now I rarely go....and can no longer recommend until these items are fixed.

I don't relish in differing with my fellow Yelpers, but for me there is one thing about G's Jamaican that I'm sure about and that is that it is in no way a Five Star anything; not even close. Since it's little more than a fast food carry out Jamaican hole the wall of a place located in the semi-rundown Gold Coast Plaza, surrounded by tax preparers, immigration specialists, bail bond outlet offices, security agencies and the like I wasn't expecting much and indeed I didn't get much. On the good side, G's Jamaican is spotlessly clean, smallish but comfortable enough except for the blaring television which was broadcasting a NASA race rerun and the fact that when you go to place your order at the counter there is a heavy Plexiglas window akin the bullet proofing security glass you find at all night quick fill gas stations or check cashing agencies. Then, whether eating in or out, your order comes in a take-out container with napkin and plastic fork which doesn't exactly make for an enjoyable overall dining experience. I went for the curried goat, rice with Jamaican pigeon beans, coleslaw and plantain. I received a huge helping of the rice and thought that I had also received a good size portion of curried goat. However, I soon discovered that at least 50% of my helping of curried goat consisted of nothing but sawed up bone and another 20% of nothing but untrimmed goat fat and grizzle. Thought the flavor was delicious, eating your way through it was like finding your way through a makeshift minefield obstacle course. The plantains were tasteless, dry and with the texture equivalent to what it might be like to gnaw on a dried out sink sponge. However the rice and beans were good and the Jamaican coleslaw was seemingly traditional shredded cabbage based, without mayo, zesty in taste and with distinctive vinegar overtones. Suffice it to say that as far as Jamaican restaurants and Jamaican foods go, I've both had and seen better.

Downgrading to 3 stars from 4 stars as the food quality has gone down. Many tourists who've visited Jamaica have proclaimed it "The most beautiful country in the world." Interestingly there have also been many Jamaican nationals such as Collin Powell, Boukman, Kojo, Marcus Garvey, Usain Bolt, Lennox Lewis who have been leaders in world politics, music, athletics & philosophy. I've always wondered how such a small island can have such a profound influence on the world. For instance reggae music has a world wide following, and is considered the "uniting universal " music of Africa. Rastafari( indigenous created religion) is ranked 21st in in the world as most influential religion in the world. Notwithstanding the more locally practiced West African based religion's of Pukumina & Revival Zionism bit.ly/1iHvVi5 bit.ly/1iHw8BH are also as unique & interesting on the world stage. With all that said, I've always had an uncanny desire for Jamaican Cuisine & Libations. As Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is the highest grade coffee in the world and de facto King of Java. I've ranked true Jamaican cuisine among the worlds top 5 palatial experiences. Which brings me to G's, a modest little Jamaican restaurant that is more of a take-out than an eat-in establishment. Thanks to Veronica J's review I was lead to G's for lunch one afternoon. Arriving at G's I was happy to find out the owners are from "country"( meaning not from a city), Trelawny to be exact. Why am I happy, because city people from Jamaica tend to use more of a commercialized powdered based seasoning like seasoned salt, while country people are more traditional and use fresh ingredients like scallion,thyme & allspice etc. T H E F O O D - Brown Stew Fish ($11.00) bit.ly/1fAUOfx This dish was a pleasant surprise. The fish was very flavorful with a light flakey texture coupled with a sublime punch of scotch bonnet pepper. This was actually the the best fish I've had since buying fried fish and bammy at a little fishing village of Bluefields, Jamaica. STAR RATING 5 -Brown Stew Chicken ($7.50) bit.ly/1fAVNMW Very tasty well seasoned chicken, this is actually one of my favorite Jamaican dishes. The gravy was heavenly and perfectly complimented the rice & pea's! STAR RATING 4.5 -Curry Chicken ($7.50) bit.ly/191KcyM Yet another delicious dish, it wasn't to peppery nor mild, just about right. STAR RATING 4.5 - Jerk Chicken ($8.50) bit.ly/191KMfL I was somewhat disappointed with this dish. I am accustomed to very spicy & hot jerk chicken and this was not spicy nor hot at all. It was not very flavorful either, but very edible. For those who do not know, Traditional Jamaican Jerk is suppose to be slow smoked over pimento wood, much like American Southern BBQ. Almost no restaurants outside of Jamaica actually cooked Jerk like this, they typically just throw it in the oven. STAR RATING 3.0 - Fried King Fish ($8.50) bit.ly/1duq5AJ Very tender, very fresh, very tasty! I love the healthy servings of vegetables that come with all of their dishes. STAR RATING 4.0 N O T E S -they make their rice and peas with coconut milk. -this is not much of an eat in place, though they have 3 small cafeteria like tables. Sometimes the tables are not cleaned as fast as they should be. It's better if you get take out. -they are definitely using fresh ingredients to make their food instead of seasoned salts etc. T I P S + $5.50 lunch special is from 11:30 am - 3:00 pm on the brown stew chicken, curry chicken BBQ chicken & Jerk chicken. + they have this uniquely seasoned fried chicken which is a must try. +they always have boiled banana's, dumplin's, white & yellow yam. +this is the first Jamaican restaurant outside of Jamaica that I have seen offer traditional Jamaican Breakfast dishes, such as Liver, Salt Mackerel & Porridge. +they sell off their food very quickly, try not to get the rice & pea's if it's from the bottom of the pot. Its better if you just get more palatable white rice if it's there. + if you have not noticed from my pictures, I prefer to supplant rice with tubular roots. If you haven't tried it before, try it! Just make sure they dose the tubular roots with gravy.

Curry chicken was really good The jerk barely had that jerk flavor it tasted more like bbq sauce Atmosphere is the least bit appetizing, basically serving you from behind a bullet proof window & out of those "keep it hot" tin bins like a prison cafeteria No beef patties There seemed to be no rhyme or reason as to how much meat is served, lady in front of me had the nerve to say "give me more meat" and the "server" did, but im pretty sure she skimped on mine to make up for it..having no balls or a bullet proof vest on i decided to just bend over & take it..thats what yelps for

Really pleased with my experience at G's restaurant, Thank you Veronica J. and Sean M. for your awesome reviews. This place almost felt like coming to an aunt's house and having a taste of her home cooked meals. The menu is split up into three sections of Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner with only particular dishes being offered at those specific times. Luckily for us, we were in between breakfast and lunch when we came in, so we ordered one item from breakfast menu and one item from the lunch menu. We ordered the Calaloo and Salt Fish Platter and the Oxtail Platter and both dishes were amazing and full of flavor, I really got the comfort of home cooking from these two dishes. Luckily, we ordered small dishes for ourselves because even the small dishes were very large in portioning. We could have very well shared one platter and got a good fill from a small. You also get great bang for your buck here no matter if you order small, medium, or large because the prices range from $7-$12. I already can't wait till my next visit.

I honestly don't know how this place hasn't received a review yet. Best Jamaican food I've had this side of soflo... And there are a lot of good Jamaican places. The food is just like home. Well cooked. Well seasoned. No foreign watered down stuff.
