The food was very good and the customer service is great. I do prefer baked Mac & Cheese... therefore; I will choose a different side next time.

Probably wanna call ahead if you want a specific menu item, 'cause we missed out on the Jerk Salmon; but I won't dock that against em, when things have been slow and it's "made to order" ya know? Anyways, good service, good food, good price at least during lunch hours (12-2PM)

There used to be a Jamaican place across the street from this one called Jammin Jerk, I ate there and reviewed them about 10 years ago and they were terrible.
Now we have this little gem of a Jamaican spot that lit-trally outdoes itself....lemme tell you what I'm talking bout....
Their Jamaican beef Patty is authentic, delicious, flaky, golden, scrumptious, get in my belly, give me more, fantastic. I also ordered the Jamaican fried chicken because I was hesitant to order the jerk chicken given my traumatizing experience with Jammin Jerk - yeah that bad, but my hubby got the jerk chicken and it was pretty damn good. They served the jerk sauce on the side, the jerk chicken itself was charred perfectly and had a great amount of spicy bite to it. Now back to the Jamaican fried chicken.....I'm not sure exactly what distinguishes this from other varieties of fried chicken but I can assure you that it's tasty, crispy, warm, mouth watering goodness served with your choice of sides (I had plantains and cole slaw) will keep your mind and taste buds occupied.
Bottom line - Eat here nowHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tonya H.Virginia Beach, VA21935Oct 1, 2022Updated review
Update from second visit 9/30/22
I ordered 2 meals online but 2 separate orders as paid with 2 different cards. Ordered and paid AHEAD of time so that I could just pick up the food omw back to work. 1st meal was supposed to be ready at 2:40pm on 9/30 and the second at 2:50pm. Got there at 3pm, told the cashier I had 2 online orders, he said ok, just waiting on the soup. Should be 5 to 8 mins. Then at 3:15 pm he calls my phone, not realizing I'm in the store to tell me they are out of salmon so they can't make the 2:50pm order....so not only did he not listen to me when I said I had 2 orders, he is also telling me 25 mins after it should have been done. Then he offers to make something else, initially I agreed, but wanted the monetary difference back from the more expensive salmon meal I originally paid for. He says a number of things: Jamminz owners don't like to refund customers, he is new, he doest know how to do refunds, the price on the menu is wrong and so is the price online, that I'm not looking at the right prices. After demanding a full refund at this point, he instantly refunds my money.
I was the only person in there when this occurred aside from 2 others that came and left before I did. They were not busy, but heavily disorganized. Poor customer service and I was lied to by the male cashier about getting a refund. Not to mention the male cook who continued to gaze at me, told me he was going to give me extra food, gazed at me as I left, then followed me outside to gaze some more and told me to "be safe". It was very creepy and I got into my car as soon as possible.
Online orders were placed at 2:08pm and 2:38pm. Ample time to be completed prior to my arrival. This place is unprofessional and inappropriate. I will not be attempting to support this small business anymore.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Aug 6, 2022Previous reviewSo customer service was not great. When you walk into a small business and no one is in there, I think it's more than appropriate to greet your customers. Young girl at the counter with the air pods did not speak until I said something. The items I tried to order, she continued to say they were out of ...it wasn't until the cook stepped in and said hey, "I'll make that for you!". Several people walked in, ungreeted and decided to leave while I waited for my food. Work on your customer service here. A greeting and some enthusiasm goes a long way!
We ordered sweet chili pineapple salmon and jerk chicken with plantains, mac n cheese, cabbage and yams. The food smelled really good and was hot. The Salmon was delicious. Jerk chicken flavor was great, but it was dryyyyy. A little sauce can fix that. Mac n cheese needed improvement. Cabbage was okay. The plantains and yams were excellent.
I would go back to try something else, but perhaps order over the phone because the customer service was a bit off putting when you are trying to support small business. - Mike L.Suffolk, VA382314Apr 22, 2022
The meal was very good, it was hot, seasoned well, but small in size; I could have ate 3 pieces of fish. The peas and rice were good, once you mix the cabbage in to add the spice and flavor it up. The plantains finished the meal off. The prices are fair and the customer service was great. I would definitely return to try some of the other menu items.

So I've been here about 2 or 3 more times since my last review and I've had 2 great experiences. Rasta pasta. Excellent. Curry chicken excellent. Mac and cheese getting better. Yams yum! Dumplings so good. Barbecue fried chicken tasty!! I think they just need to work on consistency and keeping the menu items available.

We have a large family so we were able to try a fair share of food. I will say, portion sizes are generous so one meal could be enough for 2 ppl if you're into sharing or have small children. We tried the ox tails (excellent) curry goat ( excellent) Mac and cheese (meh. More Mac than anything else) jerk chicken (not jerky enough) fried chicken (needed more flavor but nice and crispy) the rice (its rice) and the plantain (impossible to mess up) I will return cuz like I said there's no food in Suffolk but I will be hesitant to try other things like the jerk salmon fried fish curry chicken etc that they have

My food is always A1! I really wanted the whole snapper, but they were all out. I got the jerk salmon which was ON POINT!. My father is Jamaican so I'm use to authentic food and this was delish! I love coming here any time I need my fix.
