Blue Mountain

Blue mountain located at Utica Ave Brooklyn NY WAS my go to Jamaican restaurant. NOT ANYMORE! Today 11/15/24 @ 1:40 pm. I spent 30 on take out. I asked the lady server how much is each dish in a large container? She told me $9 each. So I told her that I want stew chicken, macaroni & cheese, & yellow rice each in a large container. Then I ordered a chicken roti & I asked for them to put my roti bread separate from the roti chicken. I'm going to attach pic's to this review. To start, I barely got any Stew chicken, Mac & cheese, but plenty of rice. My chicken roti was all sauce and hardly any chicken. Roti had no potatoes or chick peas. Just 1 lonely piece of carrot.. Roti bread was Hard, Stale and crusty. In a word disgusting. After I ate the roti, I felt sick to my stomach. I dare not touch the stewed chicken and Mac & cheese taste horrible. I guess they got New chef's. All this Gross food cost me $30. Used to be a good restaurant. Not anymore. They'll never get any business from me ever again. DISGUSTING 🤢🤮.

I gotta say while the chicken abd rice are delicious. I HATE that you put cold salad mixed in with the hot chicken and hot rice Do you think that hot lettuce and hot carrots and hot tomatoes actually tastes good? Who would do such a thing and why. That's the only reason I gave u one less star

This establishment normally have good food. Decided to go and order jerk chicken. There was a tall lightskin lady taking orders. All I did was ask for the price of the size of jerk chicken I wanted and she got upset. She is very rude and nasty. Her customer service skills are horrible...if you can't treat customers nice then find a new job!

Blue mountain food its top tier it’s not salty or spicy. When I don’t feel like cooking I either order in person or on uber. The food is always good no matter what time you order. I love their hospitality in person too! Please support and keep them open. I know I will!

The food is good but listen black people don’t play about they mac & cheese. Please y’all better than this pay attention to each batch in Flatbush max & cheese critical. Please and thank you god bless.

I arrived to this establishment and I was pretty impressed at the amount of people there was ordering ahead me. I automatically assumed the food will be A1. As I waited in line I noticed that the staff was taking everyone else order except mine. Also they were handling the food and moneyh at the same time. As I waited for approximately 16min on line, a gentleman behind me passed out. The heat was so high in this establishment he fell out. As I got to my destination and opened my food, and took a bite the food was absolutely disgusting. Not only did I not enjoy the food but my fellow peers also didnt enjoy the food. I was so hungry and looking forward to this meal. I will not being returning

I like the food a lot BUT the service is terrible. No matter how polite you are the older woman behind the counter is the rude one!! Fix that, this is not the personal feelings business, you're in the business of making money. Oh wait but when those OTHER folks show up shes all smiles.

Spent $50 worth of food and my salmon tasted spoiled/ stale/ hard. Tried calling the restaurant 8x to get a refund the line was busy. I had to call the Flatbush location to speak to someone name Ana to make a complaint! Then they expect you to save the spoiled salmon in your fridge to take back to them after I stated it’s in the trash! Smh Never ordering again!

They are so slow they are so rude and are annoyed to take your order and there's water leaking everywhere I will never go back!!!

Whoever "BOSS" is ... that man is completely disgusting. Imagine having customers in the restaurant while they listen on how you speak to your workers. That man has no ounce of respect and it's amazing to watch people sit there and accept that type of behavior from someone. The ambiance is very mid. The workers have attitudes 9/10 and kill time on orders because of the talking and personal time at a fast service restaurant. The food is very mid. The Rasta pasta is FULL OF OIL, the honey jerk is disgusting and the festivals need to be thrown out. SALMON WAS ALSO OLD.

All time fav spot especially when I do the Uber Eats things. I always get my meals fast. Then the food is on point.

For everyone looking for a Vegetarian option as most Caribbean folks know soups usual have meat. Here is an option for anyone looking for a non- meat option. The Red Peas Soup from Blue Mountain is like one of two places that I know of that actually have Caribbean style soup without meat. I'm sure there are more places around Brooklyn but unfortunately have not found them yet. This soup has lots of flavor packed with veg and ground provisions. The container keeps the soup nice and hot without any spillage. The portion size is good for a couple of servings.

Love it, order food for my grandmother weekly from them. Nice! I'd recommend them to everyone I know.

Great food, different varieties to choose from. Fresh, well cooked and seasoned. Cannot eat inside of the store, it is too small.

Ordered this food yesterday, it tasted like maybe it was the last of the servings they had before they closed, instead of it being made fresh. My stomach is bubbling but I have yet to empty my bowels of whatever I was served ! This is my last time giving this restaurant a try at take out. I will need the manager to reach out to me because I am currently not okay. I'm unable to go to work because of what I ate from this place. MANAGEMENT- PLEASE REACH OUT - THANKS.

I only have four words: The food is nasty! The food is nasty! The food is nasty! I wrote it 3 times cause the review has to be no less than 85 characters.

Wow wow wow ..... "I wouldn't give them no stars if that was an option." Before you read the below: I attached the dish my stepfather got today, please review the picture and tell me what dish it!? Anyone that comments I will tell you what it is and I will personally ally have my stepdad make you a real plate of what the dish is supposed to be! I want to start by saying what my background is and the kind of people I'm around and grew up with. My dad is Grenadian, my mother is Haitian-American, and my stepdad is Jamaican. So when it comes to good food, I know it well. My stepdad is one of the best chefs around he can cook with his eyes clothes. My dad when it came to stew goat or stew chicken and bbq/fried chicken he did well (until he stopped eating meat). And my mother hands down makes the best of everything, but her signature dish she is known for is her Mac and cheese and oxtail. My stepdad is a picky person, most of the time he cooks his own food because he can never find a good Jamaican restaurant to buy food from. I just picked up from the doctor, and he finally decided to try this place on Utica. I told him "yea I always see it crowded in there." ​

I'm very disappointed.I brought a small BBQ Chicken with rice and peas.The food was hot but had no taste,no flavor,no seasoning,no nothing.Mind you I paid almost $10 for a small container with only 1 piece of chicken in it.I didnt even want to finish it.I threw it away.Never again will you see me in there buying anything from them.

I just got an order tonight and it was raw goat meat I can't believe I took a bite and then decide to heat it up 20 minutes after it got to my house to find it in cook on the inside . Gross!!!!

Bbq wings are really good. Curry was a little soupy. Had the curry goat it was ok. This place always have a line. Other people said the food is really good. Prices are reasonable. Some of the food look good . Cant complain about the curry goat. Reasonable size.

Blue Mountain is one of those local neighborhood spots that is clutch when you JUST need some Caribbean comfort food. *Tip: don't expect good customer service. Each time i've bern here, the service has been sub-par, but the food is alright. If you're just looking to roll up, cop some good jerk, curried chicken, oxtail, rice & peas, and some other staple dishes - Blue Mountain is a good choice. (**Note: i LOVE mac n cheese more than most things in life, but the macaroni pie ain't do it for me here.) The dish i normally crave is the veggie rasta pasta, and Blue Mountain's is fairly good, just a bit salty for me personally. My mom really enjoys their jerk chicken and habitually returns. She's quite picky about where she goes for Caribbean food, being Caribbean herself, so if she's a Blue Mountain regular, it's a good sign that they're doing something right.

I've always enjoyed Blue Mountain jerk chicken. The jerk sauce is delicious. It's a staple and it is consistently good. Venturing past jerk chicken has been a little more inconsistent. I had a fish that was just okay with rice and peas. But the curry chicken and macaroni and cheese was very good. What seems to be consistently problematic are the attitudes of some staff members. I can't think of a time that I feel genuinely welcome or greeted. I've also heard tones that have been curt and gruff towards customers. But maybe that's not the point. After all it is a counter dining experience where are you order your food take it and leave.

Great tasty food but the people that work there make you not want to give them your hard earned money because of their attitude's! If you don't like your job then find a new one! And Quit !! Not saying you have to bend of backwards for your customers but c'mon, and if they gave you back attitude i bet you would do something gross to their food juss saying ! Be Professional!

Dont order from herefound a roach in my food and when i called the store,the woman had a lack of concern

If this review was just based on food alone, I would give 5 stars. However I'm forced to take away two stars for the customer service. Sometimes they can be very rude and nasty it makes you not even want to bother ordering with them. I usually order a whole jerk chicken. Last time I did on Uber eats I only got one little container of jerk sauce. How could we eat a whole tray of jerk chicken with one sauce? When I called about it the lady on the phone insinuated That i was lying. Why would I lie? We just want to enjoy our food, not call and lie about jerk sauce. I was a regular here, but I'm sure going to take a break, can't deal with the attitudes.

The food is delicious. No doubt about it. But don't expect a friendly "welcome" when you come in or a "thank you for your business" when you leave. If you want some amazing jerk chicken hot off the grill or some good honey jerk chicken, this is the place. Thank yourself after you eat it. LOL.

Horrible food and terrible service and way too expensive Don't not go here staff has a terrible attitude and unclean if I can give zero stars I would

Absolutely disgusting! Ordered here on 11/5/2019 and I found a small rouch sitting in my white rice. Called the restaurant to make a complaint and the lady on the phone had an attitude! As if I'm the problem

Stop by for a soup took awhile for the counter girl to recognize me the food don't look appetizing at all so I ask for a soup the girl serving it step in the back then I heard a microwave door close and I ask where is my soup she said it's coming I leave

So i went to Blue mountain on 1/20/21 to treat my self to the most expensive oxtails i ever ate in my life. " small oxtails $17.12" no problem. Once I started eating the oxtail I realized the oxtails has no seasoning and it horrible but since i paid so much for the oxtails Im going to definitely eat it, so i got some good ole pepper sauce and put on the oxtail to give it some flavor which it did add a little flavor for me to eat 1/4 of the plate. Thank god I didn't eat the whole plate because what came next was horrible. 3 hours later i feel extremely nauseated and I would taste the oxtail on my breath... the next thing i know my mouth was feeling super watery and i was pulling over my car to throw up on the side of the belt parkway it wasn't a great look. I thought this was it for me... car honking and my head out my window... I wouldn't ever in my life eat at this place again.... i wished that i read the comments before i came in and not thinking this was blue mountains 5 years ago... i dont know what had happened to this place but it definitely needs to close and revamped because if getting sick is on your menu i dont want that order... i wish i would have gave no stars but that seems not to be a option.

This restaurant is OK, my issue is with the servers, let me make it clear the Young girls servers, they have no respect for a customer. I told this young girl I wanted wings, and she gives me legs, I said I want wings not legs & she's telling me oh the legs comes from the wings, I said thats not what I wanted & she starts getting her attitude black girls for you, I told her customers are always right, & she's still arguing with me.. the little skinny girl that's there at 6pm. Hope you see this review, & everytime you act un professional I will write a review on you until your removed from working there......... Told you customers are always right.. the owner or manager needs to talk to the women that work there.

I order off of Uber eats and am beyond satisfied with the taste and service! I always order the honey jerk!!! Aaahazing!!

My partner just placed an order through Uber Eats and I have to say we were both disappointed upon receipt of our order. We ordered two jerk chicken meals along with two lemonades. The sides we received with our meals were completely different from the ones we opted for and instead of lemonade we received fruit punch. We both have the sense that they ran out of the options we ordered and instead of calling to let us know what was available and find out what we'd prefer with our order, they just decided to give us what they pleased. In my opinion, that is unacceptable and extremely lazy customer service. We didn't pay for a mystery meal. I understand things happen but that's no excuse to completely disregard the customer. You never know what dietary restrictions, allergies, food sensitivities, or preferences someone has. If we had placed an order in person, I'm sure this would've been handled differently. Please give your customers who place orders online the same courtesy and respect - it goes a long way. The jerk chicken was ok - I'd possibly order it again. I just prefer my chicken a bit spicier and a little more flavorful. Overall, the food was ok.

Hosted my Summer Bash 2019 BBQ and everyone loved the preseasons jerk chicken I ordered in the bucket. It was a hit at the BBQ. I will order it again from them.

It's so surprising to see people have such negative experiences! I love blue mountain's jerk chicken and their rasta pasta. I think it's the best in the area and always my go-to spot.

Food is always good especially the jerk chicken and all the patties . The stew and the oxtail meal is very good as well. Oh and the festivals. The customer service not so much but that's with 90% of jamaican restaurants .

Surprised this place doesn't have better reviews. Out of the 5 or 6 places for jerk chicken around this area ( Flatbush/mill basin). They definitely have the best chicken. Much juicer and always fresh.

I'm mad I have to give one star. My boyfriend and I wanted some oxtails for the night after we came from the movies. We initially was going to go to a sit down restuarant Trewlanis. But it was so cold out I just wanted to go home eat and relax. So we stopped by and he picked up the food, we go home and my mouth was watering because I was super hungry. But to my great disappointment the food was HORRIBLE, NO FLAVOR AT ALL SERIOUSLY!!! NONE! It just tasted a little hot like it was just pepper on the meat and rice. I couldn't believe $17 per plate which we had two of 17×2, save that in your pockets PLEASE! Not worth it I'm so aggravated, I'm not even sure if my trash had a good time eating it smh.

Omg my friends told me to stop ordering from here because they changed the chef and the food is horrible. Well I took a chance today and ordered jerk chicken with Rasta Pasta. Omg the Rasta pasta was horrible!!! The noodles was all stuck together and mushy. I was so hurt. I ordered through door dash and I can't blame them for the messed up Rasta pasta. I am only mad I did not order from Foot Print. Blue mountain you will never get my money again!!

This hurts! Run away!! I love to support local business but i also love flavor in my food and fresh food. I ordered the pigs tail with veggies. The pigs tails had no taste, the mix veggies were either canned or frozen (they were very soggy) Won't be going back.

In the mood for great oxtails and rice and peas? Come to Blue Mountain! I have frequented this caribbean hot spot on Utica ave for some time now over the years. Was in the mood for some island cuisine this particular day. The shop is literally big enough for take out orders. There are stools for "dine in", but with the heat in that place I rather take my food to go! Hahaha. I wanted oxtails and come to find out the price rose! Only had pocket money on me so i got the curry goat( which was just as great) for my 10 buck budget. My server was very nice and trust me a smile and being polite goes a long way.... hint* (extra food). Overall great hot for some Caribbean grub.

I live in the area used to come here all the time for patties when I was younger . I was hungry and decided to stop in for some jerk chicken and rice and peas . Food was bad made my stomach turn . Wasn't even able to finish . Jerk chicken was tastee tho but the rices never again

I'm not a happy customer because of the incident that happen on Sunday, 11/19. I enter the restaurant at 10:30am and it took 30 mins to be served. I called first to see if they had porridge and the young man said yes. I went into the restaurant to get porridge and one of the employees who wasn't working that day or a friend of somebody who works in the restaurant went behind the counter. (female with a reddish color hair that was in a bun was helping a customer by the name of Gloria who was looking for her ham instead got a turkey)I heard her tell the young man with hazel eyes that she wants porridge and he told her ok, however, the customer in front of me got some then she told the pot to the back of the store and came back to get two small containers to put the porridge in. When I asked if there was porridge I was told no more but there was porridge but he decided to give it to whoever instead of giving it to two paying customers. This is very bad customer service. I will let all my family and friends know not to patronize your establishment.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! The workers in here are rude as can be especially the older ones. The food is nothing like it use to be. During late night hours it's the only place that's open around 1am in the mill basin area so often times I have no choice but at this point. I'm willing to starve the food is just horrible the rice is under cooked jerk chicken nasty. Don't even waste your time

It's 2020 and they still doing bad , if y'all want better food better walk across the street and down the block to BedStuy Fish Fry

Proof that All the cooks smoke , because all of foods are over salted... hands down very salty... just don't understand why that is ... they should allow a non smoker be the taster ... hence I gave up on eating there... there's no excuse for that

Somewhat ok food terrible attitudes/service and all around more accommodating to their fellow Jamaicans these people just seem to love slamming down your food after they put it in the container somehow the thinking is that it will survive and still look good will never dare venture here even if hunger has me stricken as I personally do not believe in spending good money in exchange for crappy food/service

The attitude isn't the best but the curry chicken and Roti is really good!! I just wish they were more pleasant i would probably visit the restaurant more often but oh well! I guess you can't have great food and great service..

Stopped in to get a beef patty w/ cocobread, the cocobread was nice & soft but had no flavor along with the beefpatty that tasted like cornmeal , stick with the jerk chicken which is pretty good !

Food is horrible. Meat tough, chicken & goat. Very salty Customer service is horrible. Price about to rise July 1st

Came here on a recommendation for lunch. Service was little slow and maybe not that friendly. I got jerk chicken w rice and peas. The food was pretty good. I like a saucier jerk chicken, it came with sauce on the side. But overall I thought the food was good. I also ordered a beef Patti which I liked cause it tasted more home made then golden crust. It also tasted good the next day!

The service was very bad the workers had attitudes. I got two orders for me and my girlfriend. The rice was clammy. And the food smelled sour. Complete waste of money

I drove across town for some takeout. I had ate there before and the food was good and very flavorful, but the service was poor. When I arrived it was busy and there was a line. The staff were rude and gruff with the patrons ahead of me, so I had low expectations of their customer service to start with. I asked for two pieces of Salmon over some steamed cabbage. The woman commented loudly, "If you want two pieces, it's a large!". I said ok? When I asked how much it would cost she said, You have to ask her, she's on the register! She pointed to a taller lady with a haircut and blond braids. The woman said $19.80+ cents! I was in shock as I gave have her my $20.00 bill. I literally had two pieces of Salmon and steamed veg. That will be my last visit!

The patties are a little better than average since they are homemade but they are not filled, it's more crust you're eating. The food doesn't have much flavor. Be prepared to wait a long time before you can order. The workers move really slowly. I had only one person in front of me and I wanted over 20 mins to order. Then when I ordered it took about 15 minutes to put the food in a bag. They staff is generally pleasant but can we work a little faster please?

Food is really good but the service is horrible. It takes entirely too long to place an order and then even longer to receive it. I know that it's typical of store front Caribbean restaurants in this area to mosey around on their on timing and give off an air of annoyance when taking your order- as if they are doing you a favor- but this has got to change. Good still ultra LIT tho!

Never been to the place but i've ordered from here a few times. I've had their stew chicken & it's pretty good. But DO NOT order their curry chicken or curry goat. Its almost all bone. Their give u chicken back and rip u off.

Their patties are really good. I only went here, because all the other Caribbean restaurants near it never have patties ugh. If you eat at Caribbean restaurants You know how annoying it is when they never have what you want. But here, they are always ready. Except for that one time I came at 7am and the patties weren't ready . Other than that. Yummy chicken and beef patties. They don't have veggie though.
