I agree with other reviewers, this place is Not family appropriate. I visited at 1pm on a Sunday and the music was already loud like they were ready for a party. They do advertise a poker game at 3pm, so maybe they were getting ready for it. I came in to place a togo order. The guy working the bar was nice but was talking to a buddy who kept dropping F bombs. He wasnt eating or drinking but just standing there cursing. Besides me, they were the only 2 people in the restaurant. I gave him a look to try to make him aware without being rude but he didnt get the message or didnt care. When I heard the guy behind the counter drop a couple as well, I left. I cannot comment on the food bc I did not place an order. I was not willing to listen to that language while I waited. This place is too raunchy for me.

This place disappoint me every time spend almost 20$ on a plate of goat and they only gave me four pieces of goat all bone 3plantains and a lot of broccoli. The presentation of food is poor. This was my second time ordering from this place only cause it is dwn the street from me and every time Im disappointed . They need to stop being so cheap and serve there paying customers with quality food. As for me I will no longer eat here and all these ppl saying food great must not never had experienced real island food cause there food is not what the hype is about and even after expressing my concern about the food all I got from the server was Im sorry.

After reading the great reviews, we decided to give Jamaican Breeze a try. What a treat! The atmosphere is lively, the waitress/bartender was a sweetheart and the food was amazing!!! Fried sweet plantains and mozzarella sticks for the appetizer. The fried plantains were great. Hubby had the oxtail with jamaican mac & cheese. Melt in your mouth tender and so yummy! I had the entree sampler... oxtail, goat and jerk chicken. Omg, all of it was so tasty! The meats were so tender and juicy and flavorful. We will be back for sure, there are many other dishes we have to try! Oh, and Billy D was singing...what a voice!!!

I wanted to rate this place lower than a 1 star. This place is definitely NOT children friendly. A lot of cursing. Meat had a lot of thick fat on it. Heart attack in the making. We informed the waitress and the owner wanted her to bring the fat to show him because he didnt believe her. The curry goat was watered down and white. No spice. Food was definitely NOT authentic Jamaican. I would know being that I am Jamaican. It was bland. No flavor. The only good part of our visit was our waitress. Not impressed!

Super disappointed as we drove way or of our way to go to this restaurant after reading some reviews. Jerk chicken was literally cold and quite obviously was cooked previously which I can understand but was covered up poorly by being doused in jerk sauce so that it was soggy. Horrible compared to food in Jamaica, or even Toronto Jamaican restaurants. Other than the restaurant being decorated in a Jamaican theme, it didnt feel like an authentic experience in the slightest.

Had the Jerk Chicken Alfredo and admittedly wasnt sure I would like it. Wow was I wrong. It was awesome. Just spicy enough for my palette without being overly done. A nice mix with the alfredo sauce. Been there for the weekend entertainment. DJ Senator is off the hook! I think he is a regular. Oh, and check out trivia on Tuesday nights. Its a different experience in a Jamaican bar.

No waitress on staff both times I have visited. The bartender will bring your food out but there is no table service in this "restaurant"! This place is not family, or child, friendly. The music is loud and offensive. The place is a bar that happens to serve food. The patrons were gambling and drinking when we arrived. Call in an order and pick it up if you must.

Food was good but service not so good. My wife and I asked for cabbage along with oxtails but didnt receive it. We asked for a side salad with no onions but it was on it anyway. Then we wanted to end with an ice cream sundae. We asked for vanilla and got strawberry. I was really disappointed that they didnt attempt to apologize or show a gesture of regret.

I went there with some co-workers today with the expectation of great food. I was extremely disappointed. The pork tenderloin was tough. My friend ordered a fish sandwich and he couldnt eat it because it was too tough. The service was even worse. We waited an hour for our food. The music was too loud... I can go on and on. I was completely disappointed.

Love this place ad the food is fabulous. My husband and I have been to Jamaica 20+ times so can compare. So glad to have it in our neighborhood. We took friends here for their 1st time and they absolutely loved it. They ordered the oxtail and devoured it. Service was excellent as well. But....out of Ting my favorite with rum.

EXCELLENT FOOD! Great service. I drive from Tarpon Springs to eat here. What an excellent find for us. Yummmmm. And dont forget the mixed rum drink, either a Planters Punch or Rum Runner, cant remember what it was called but it was awesome.

If you want some great Jamaican food, this is the place. It is easy to go by and not realize it is there but well worth the stop. The overall interior ambiance could be improved to add more appeal. Other than that, great food at a fair price.

Well, we randomly stopped here and it was pretty darn good. They had Reggae music on and we were all dancing around. Friendly atmosphere, very lay back. Oxtail was great! Their house sauce was excellent and spicy.... Pretty darn spicy

Good food. Took a bit of time getting it. But, worth the wait. Had Mad Mike Jerk chicken. Hot and delicious. Dont miss the Cal Lo Spinach(sp). Majorly tasty. The entertainment for the night I was there was a whole lot of fun,

Really bad & slow service. When I walked I was handed the menus and told to go sit where ever. Then it took 15 min before the server came over, and another 25/30 before we got out food (there were only 2 other tables).

Love it! Great atmosphere! Great service! Food is superb! Penni behind the bar treated me good solid mix drinks. Suggested the jerk chicken wings! By far the best Ive ever had! Highly recommended! Thank you!

love this place great service and food. I come here every Sunday from 5-8 for karaoke with rev it up entertainment. It is one of the best places to go for family and friends to have a great time.

We where the only couple eating in the place on a Saturday night. Other couple left due to loud obnoxious drunk man and woman arguing at the bar. Food was good. May not come back.
