Authentic Jamaican fare: jerk chicken, oxtails, curry goat



























"This frequently busy Inglewood restaurant fits the bill for anyone craving traditional Jamaican fare. While the oxtails, beef patties, goat curry, and pickled escovitch snapper are all very well-made, the dish to get here is the jerk chicken platter — a generous portion of rice and peas, caramelized plantains, cabbage, and smoky, allspice-flecked chicken. Country Style prepares everything in to-go containers, though prepare for a wait if you go at peak dining hours (it will be fully worth it)." - Mona Holmes

"Country Style might be one of the newer Jamaican restaurants in Inglewood, but it's developed a strong following for good reason. Their jerk chicken is a perfect blend of spicy and salty, but it’s the balance of the whole combo plate together that sticks out most. The sweetness of the plantains cuts through the heat of the chicken, while the potato salad and festival bread on the side are among the best you’ll find in the neighborhood. If you’re looking to truly feast, the oxtail, curry chicken, and stewed callaloo greens are also excellent. Don't forget to grab one of their housemade sorrel or pineapple and ginger drinks, too." - brant cox, garrett snyder, sylvio martins

"Country Style is one of the newer Jamaican restaurants in Inglewood, and is already a local favorite. The jerk chicken itself is a perfect blend of spicy and salty, but it’s the balance of the whole combo plate together that sticks out most. The sweetness of the plantains cuts through the heat of the chicken, while the potato salad and festival bread on the side are among the best you’ll find in the neighborhood.
