Foxx Original Jamaican Restaurant

Not the best food at all the rice nuh have no season or the cabbage. Best things here is the patties. And the receipt wasn’t itemized so I felt like I got robbed. Lol. $41 for 6 Pattie’s and a jerk chicken lol

This is a hidden gem, and I have been visiting for years whenever I am in GA . If you are looking for amazing Jamaican food, this is definitely top of the list. 🔥 👌🏾 The only down side os you are no longer allowed to sit inside.

Came here to get a side of jerk shrimp and I was told they only serve it as a meal. I said that's fine I'll pay the whole meal price but I don't need the sides and did not want to waste them. The lady at the front refused to sell me the shrimp without the sides even though I was willing to pay the full meal price. Insanity lol this place does not want to make money and the area around it is full of crackhead and homeless so you're risking your safety going here. Don't waste your time. Sick and tired of Atlantas black businesses having this poor service then they wonder why they don't stay open long. This is the second time I've attempted to give them a chance ...waste of time.

This jerk chicken clearly wasn't cooked on a grill. Unfortunate.

Friendly receptionist. Prompt and efficient service. Enjoyed the goat curry & rice/beans with sweet potatoes. Small, with only two tables for sitting and eating in, but very chill place. Food was pricier than I expected, but good bang for buck.

One of my favorite Jamaican spots to go to...it's my favorite hole in the wall spot...great customer service from the mom an daughter...so today I ordered the oxtail lunch plate, curry chicken lunch plate an Jamaican & pineapple soda....they make me feel like I'm back at home every time I come in here.....

Great food! Great prices! And wonderful customer service, the Ox tail was simply scrumptious! So tender and very Flavorful! And when I’m back in the area again I would absolutely go back!

The food here was really good. I ordered the Brown stew chicken with peas and rice cabbage and a side order of plantains. The food was seasoned perfectly. If you are in the area I highly recommend this spot if you are in the mood for some good Caribbean food.

Been wanting to try this place for a while now, and glad I did! It's hard to find parking in the area and the parking beside the building is good for about 4 cars. No real inside dining the service was fast and the ambience definitely gave neighborhood vibes. The beef patty was very delicious stuffed in the coco bread. My brown stew chicken with rice and beans and cabbage was superb!!

Visiting atl after spending a month in Jamaica. This is not even close to authentic jamaican food. Jerk chicken bland and not even chopped up - awful. Rice and peas were a minimum 3 days old with barely any peas. Collard greens tasted like they came straight out of the can. Zero seasoning! Miserable cashier, which honestly would have been fine, but the food was so terrible!

The last time I came here was 10 years ago. I was in town again and happy to see this place survived the pandemic. I stopped by about 30 min before closing and ordered an oxtail plate and a beef pattie. The pattie was delicious, they weren't stingy with the meat! Perfect ratio. The oxtail plate was delicious too! So glad I came back. I appreciate the good customer service too! God bless!

Good selection. Location is kinda whatever, but don't let that fool you. Great food here.

OG standby that dishes home style curry's. Hadn't been there in years, but passed by accident and glad to see they've still in business.

I'm big on Customer Service! I just read some of the other reviews and it varies between saying that the cashier is very nice to saying that they are rude as hell. My experience spans over about a six or seven year period. The cashier lady is rude as sh*t but I don't really think she can help it. I am referring to the older Jamaican lady. Her tone is always that of, "what you want". I know part of it is cultural and I just accept it. Even though she wears a mask (2020 - present 2022), you can always see her furrowed brow and disgruntled disposition sparkling through. I really can't make this up. I used to be a regular in terms of a couple times a week and I remember actually seeing her smile back in 2015, the one and only time. She really reminds you of a scene from one of those Instagram skits of service at Jamaican restaurants. You're probably asking, well why did you keep going there if you didn't like the service? I really like stopping in and grabbing patties and it was pretty decent and convenient in the Edgewood Ave area. Patties are great and plantains are hit or miss. Sometimes they're really plump, juicy and sweet and other times they are dried out. I posted a picture of some dried out plantains below. After mentioning it to her at the register she just looked at me as if oh well you paid for them so they're yours. No effort was made to replace them. I can't really vouch for the other food. I frequent Jamaican restaurants but I only go to certain ones for certain things. This is not my full meal spot so I'm unable to state whether it's delish or not. I'm sure it's probably not bad. All in all, decent/good food and unpleasant service.

Had the jerk chicken, which was amazing. The fried plantain was good, but a bit sweet compared to the ones I've had in Africa. The beef pastry was no good, it had the consistency of refried beans inside and was not crispy. I would definitely come back. Except if you're a single girl or have children, I would definitely recommend not going to this area. It was the middle of the day and there were drunk women doing lewd things in the middle of the street, trash in the street, and a bunch of shady looking characters. More than just homeless.

Fast, friendly, tasty! We tried the jerk chicken and the plantains. The owner asked if it was our first visit, which it was, and thanked us for trying their food.

Visited this hole in the wall while visiting the distillery down the street. The cashier was very friendly in helping me figure out what I should probably get. My buddy got a sorrel drink and curry chicken platter. My buddy let me try his sorrel drink. It was quite good. I also got to try the chicken. Super good and almost made me regret my decision. I got the jerk chicken sandwich and a curry chicken patty, and a side of sweet plantains. I thought the sandwich was decent, but a little dry. The patty's curry chicken wasn't as flavorful as my buddy's platter. Plantains were as good as one would expect. I washed it all down with a Jamaican Pineapple Ginger soda. Super good flavor combination I had never had before. I wouldn't hesitate coming back here.

First time visiting Foxx. I had the curry goat dinner with the rice and beans and cabbage. I've been looking for authentic Jamaican food since I left Jamaican. I loooove spicy food so that's the only reason I gave it three stars. It wasn't spicy. It's also two blocks within walking distance from the MLK Center. The place is small but we were blessed to find a seat to dine in.

Super satisfied with the food and the service! Me and my guy got the Curry Chicken with collard greens, cabbage, and red beans and rice! Our food was made fresh and the customer service was good! Although it's a 'hole in the wall' I would definitely recommend this place!

One of my favorite Jamaican spots to go to...it's my favorite hole in the wall spot...great customer service from the mom an daughter...so today I ordered the oxtail lunch plate, curry chicken lunch plate an Jamaican & pineapple soda....they make me feel like I'm back at home every time I come in here.....

First time here and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The jerk chicken is spicy (obviously) and veggie plate is good. Also the Sorrel drink is delicious. I'd def come back. The jerk chicken spice lingers too FYI. Lol They're vegetarian friendly too!

Worst Caribbean food n experience I've had. Their oxtails only came with 4 pieces of meat and it cost 22.00 the meal doesn't come with plantains it's 3.00 more. They gave me the wrong rice and I had to pay more because according to them it was already online the box ...so customer services was trash and I was so pissed I sent so much money and I hated the food the oxtails had SKIN I've never had oxtails with so much FAT n any skin for that matter. And let's not talk about their rice n peas that tasted like slop! Wet rice! I'm actually from the islands n was appalled. Like did these ppl even do research before opening a Caribbean restaurant smh. Save your money oxtail too expensive right now to be eating bs

This place NEVER disappoints. A true Atlanta GEM! Still raggedy, that mean ass lady is still behind the counter, but most importantly the food is still FLAME! Soooo good

I tried the oxtail plate today. We got there maybe 30 minutes before they closed and i don't know if that affected the food quality but the rice was really salty , while the cabbage lacked salt. They're also not the sweet oxtails if that's what you like. Seriously disappointed

I went here last Sunday, I order the jerk chicken with rice & peas & cabbage on the sides. This jerk chicken was soooo good, very good flavor!!! The rice & peas was amazing!!! The cabbage hit!! definitely coming back here again the customer service was on point, I recommend anyone to come try this Jamaican spot.

The oxtails dinner wasn't good at all‼they wasn't cooked to the fullest where the meat falls off the bone, the meat was on the bone like a very well done steak, the texture was tough and chewy and very flavorless. For a $15 Meal you only get "4" oxtails 2 big pieces 2 flat pieces ‍ The rice and peas wasn't good either no flavor and the brown rice wasn't cooked all the way through it had that gritty texture to it. The plantains was ok tho wasn't best.. The customer service was good I don't know if I'll be back that's a 50/50 chance

This is a tiny hole in a wall next to the municipal market. We came in on a Sunday at 12:45pm and there were 7 people waiting ahead of us by the door; it turns out they only open at 1pm and it must be great food if people line up for it. Well; 1pm finally came and when I turned around another 8 people were lined up behind us. We ordered two patties (spicy beef and regular chicken) and they were both piping hot and by the apparent taste and freshness, probably had just come out of the back oven Next came the oxtail with cabbage and yellow rice; fall of the bone and out of this world tasty and tender. The jerk chicken platter with greens and rice&peas were equally delicious and fall of the bone, oooof yes, now I can see why people line up to have a taste of this small kitchen!! Skip some of the sides that were not that great; mac n cheese side was just kraftdinner with melted cheese; nothing to rant and rave about; the plantins were lumpy and ok, nothing special - so save your appetite for The main staples goodness. Some yester-stars have been through this joint over the years: above the till amongst the commotion of ordering at the front counter, and the people line up behind me; I noticed an autographed poster of one hit wonder Sean Kingston of "fire burning" fame amongst a few hanging on the walls. Definitely coming back; yep yep yep!

Needed a fast & small, yet solid meal while making my way around ATL. Someone hipped me to this spot so I pulled up my yelp app, reviewed a few photos, and gave it a go. I parked on the street, dropped a quarter in the meter, and went inside. I'm always disappointed when small places like this don't keep the place fresh looking. I'm so over the "hole in the wall" thing. A damp rag, a bucket filled with industrial cleaner, a $27 gallon of paint from Home Depot...it takes so little. I've grown increasingly impatient with businesses that show little regard for how they present themselves. Respect me enough to keep it nice! Anyway, the woman at the counter was pleasant. I wanted sorrel, but they were still making it, so opted for soursop instead. Too sweet and syrupy, but at 102 degrees outside, it lasted about 18 secs. The coco bread tasted like it was made from scratch within the previous hour. It's absurd that growing up eating tons of Caribbean food in NYC, I would find some of the best coco bread I've had in my life in Atlanta, GA....the "dirty south". The callaloo patty also had to have been made right there in the kitchen. Most restaurants buy them in bulk from somebody's granny, freeze them, and sell them as needed by the day. These tasted nothing of the sort. Overall, a delicious and satisfying meal with great quality ingredients. If they took as much care with the upkeep of the place, this would be a well-deserved 5 stars.

DO NOT SPEND MONEY HERE!!!!!! ZERO STARS!!!! The owners daughter/register lady is CONSISTENTLY rude and offers EXTREMELY POOR customer service. Upon my first experience I was met with an attitude and a lack of communication about the food offered as a novice to Jamaican cuisine. I waived the experience as a fluke and kept it moving. Today, however, was the LAST TIME my family and I will EVER spend money within the walls of this restaurant. Once again the lady at the register offered HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE and absolutely no human under. Like literally robotic. Today my brother purchased an Irish Moss drink for $4. After opening it and taking a sip, he re-capped the drink and set it atop the bar-style counter that breaks away from the front counter. Moments later the drink falls to the floor due to no fault of his own. We then realized the bar-style counter was extremely unstable which created a slanted counter top, which is responsible for my brother's drink falling to the floor. When my brother communicated what happen the lady claimed that not only would she not replace the drink but also pressed the idea that the issue is not "common" and that he would need to buy ANY OTHER drink in the restaurant. She then stood EXTREMELY FIRM behind her idea and that there is no one else to speak to regarding the matter. My brother thoroughly insisted that he talk to someone hire up to which her answer was that they would tell us the same thing she said. After another 5 minute back and forth conversation she eventually called her father to the front. Within 60 seconds my brother's drink was compensated. After 10 minutes of back and forth the issue was resolve with one head nod from the owner. The idea that we can spend $100 in a sitting and cannot be compensated for a $4 drink is the most ridiculous thing I've dealt with in a long time. I'm sure this place will last beyond this review but NO ONE in our network of friends and family will EVER return to support this business. Support for black owned businesses needs to be held accountable by the service to its customers. This is unacceptable. Counter Lady, if you're reading this, your energy is off. That energy affects the world. Stop affecting the world with negativity. Remove yourself from the counter and enlist someone who's energy is more accommodating to customers. It's called customer service. You are literally at the counter to service us. To the owner, all respects for this great black-owned business. The food is good and pushed out quick. The problem is not with you but with your daughter (or granddaughter). She is not who needs to be up front. If your positive attitude was in front I guarantee that you'd have more return customers. I hope you are able to make the changes internally that are needed to prevent further reviews like this one.

Let me first start by saying the lady at the front counter was nice. That's all. I've heard good things about the restaurant so when I was in the area I decided to give them a try. Ok so I ordered the jerk chicken during lunch time like 1p and the best thing on my plate were the greens by far and they were ok (I don't care for stems but I'll eat them). My chicken tasted like it was cooked yesterday or possibly two days prior and reheated. My rice and peas weren't all that great either )probably added water and reheated idk). I had to force what I could down and still left ample food on my plate. I'm not by any means a picky eater but I can tell when something isn't fresh. I don't leave reviews especially bad ones but I was VERY dissatisfied. I won't EEEEVER be back. I wasted my $10 most definitely. I'll just stick to my usual Jamaican spots.

First time at this place and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. Very family oriented and nice clean place. Didn't get the last name but she was very professional, nice and thorough on checking your food and food is very fresh. Located next to EXXON on Edgewood. Parking is limited and it's paid parking on street. Small but very personal. Love it.... Must visit this place when you in the ATL.

The meal I got here was one of the best things I have ever eaten. I am a vegetarian and I ordered the curry tofu platter with seasoned fries, cabbage, yellow rice and fried plantains. It was so much food and I ate every bit of it. Preparation was a little slow (I ordered about 30 mins ahead and had to wait for my food) but worth the wait! YUM!

0 STARS!!!!!! Worst customer service EVER. I got two patties (one VEGGIE, one CALALOO). I Did not open the bag or touch them with my bare hands AT ALL! Felt when she handed me the bag that one of the patties was hard as a rock thru the paper bag so i asked her to switch the HARD CALALOO patty for another VEGGIE patty. She took the next customer and told me to wait as if she would take care of me. Then when she got back to me, she would not switch the CALALOO patty out for the VEGGIE patty i asked for. She said it was too late to switch it out as if i walked out the store and came back (which I did not) I literally stood in front of her waiting the whole time so there wouldn't be any problems! SMH!!! She was very rude and nasty. On top of that I saw a freaking mouse NEVER EVER GO HERE! I'm literally disgusted and furious at how I was treated. She talked to me crazy and the "manger" must be a family member b/c there were no checks and balances.. no one to hold her accountable for mistreating a paying customer! AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL and don't buy their "fresh made" juices. They taste horrible. I got the ginger drink and it taste like it was 90% nasty tap water! Save ya money and time.

They don't put gravy of any kind on your rice and peas which is unheard of at a Jamaican restaurant.

Best Jamaican spot in the A ! Curry goat & oxtails are to die for ..... worth the drive

THIS FOOD IS AMAZING!!!!! DJ 2UTY & NADIA REÉ APPROVED! #D2NRAPPROVED. Great service. Amazing flavors. Fresh food. Fast service. Just over all a delicious place. Way better than any other spot I've been to.

I've been to this place multiple times and I will continue to support them! The food is bomb and they have fair prices. You can feel the soul of the restaurant before you walk up! I had jerk chicken with rice and peas this particular day and it was good as always! I've had their curry chicken and beef patty before and they're really good. One of the best jamaican spots in Atlanta!

Really the only Jamaican food I trust in ATL they are consistent.. as friendly as you'd expect.. the only bad part is parking. But considering it's in the heart of the city.. I understand. I eat here whenever I'm in town and I probably won't ever stop.

Food is SO good. Plus, I come here so frequently and get the same thing, the clerk knows my order as soon as I walk in. Love this place. I hope this family business stays forever.

My daughter is a vegan and I am pure carnivore. This place hits home run for both of us. I just got back from Jamaica and fox's is better then the jerk in Jamaica. I love this place

This place is a good option for Jamaican food if you're in the city. There are only 2 tables so it is not ideal for dining in. We ordered the oxtails and curry goat for lunch. The oxtails were good, but the curry goat was delicious. We also ordered a side of the mac and cheese, and it was highly disappointing. It tasted like boiled noodles, with semi-melted shredded cheese on top. There are a few parking spots next to the restaurant, but the main option would be street parking which costs everyday except Sundays and holidays.

Mac and cheese- is cheese microwaved on top of butter noodles. Veggie patty- typical previously frozen, reheated vegetable patty. Veggie platter- curry cabbage, freshly steamed collards, rice and peas with brown stew gravy and yams. It was okay. Taste like normally Jamaican food. This alone was worth $8.50 and deserves 4 stars Plantains- sweet, kinda greasy, but ripe and soft like I love it Fried tofu Veggie Roti- this was my boyfriends dish and it was great until we got to the part with the fried tofu. The tofu was spoiled and tasted a lot like sour cheese. That was disappointing. Overall- the guy was nice and the food was decent. If you avoid the tofu you'll be fine. I hear their jerk chicken and curry chicken taste fine.

Don't let the appearance fool you! They have great food at reasonable prices. The breads are freshly made daily and to die for. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is cool.

Oxtails are the TRUTH. Cannot wait to get more. First time trying them and they did not disappoint!!!!

Small and nice, they are opened later than most Caribbean restaurants ive seen so far and have parking, the parking lot right next to the building belongs to them.

Listen, this was my second stop in Atlanta - searching for curry chicken and roti. I did not care that their parking lot can only carry five cars and I had to park on the street. I did not care that it's a rough part of town where an 80 year old man yelled "Nice Titties" as I left my car to walk to the restaurant. I was on a mission and the food is AMAZING. Curry chicken and Roti with slight pepper - listen, my family are from the islands and the food is AMAZING. I also like their range of island drinks and soda (Sorrel, Gingerbeer, etc.) I've been back and will always go back. Great food is great food. Worth It. BONUS: Pokestops EVERYWHERE

The food here is DELICIOUS!!! The place is pretty small and not very appealing to the eyes, but the food makes up for all of that. The menu has good variety and the food has a lot of flavor. This is authentic Jamaican cuisine. If you want to know what real Jamaican food is all about, check out this spot.

It's rare that I get cravings for Jamaican food. Fortunately, I was at a nearby bar when I stumbled across this place on good ole Yelp. Definitely don't judge a book by its cover because this restaurant doesn't look appealing from the outside (and inside, really) but the food is delicious! I ordered oxtail with cabbage, rice and beans. My boyfriend ordered jerk chicken with yellow rice and collard greens. We also got an order of beef pattie, which later became our midnight snack. The food is so delicious but I'm only giving this place 4 stars because the dining space could have been cleaner.

Food: I ordered the brown stew chicken with rice and peas, the chicken was very good but I had more bones than meat and the rice was undercooked and very crunchy. They did not have steamed cabbage but had collard greens instead which made no sense to me for an "Original Jamaican Resturant" so overall, was just okay Price: I thought the prices were a little expensive for the quality and the small food portions.

Had a craving for some authentic Jamaican food. After doing a little research on Yelp, I came across The Original Jamaican Restaurant. Location: A typical "hole in the wall" spot on Edgewood Ave., nothing fancy. Best to get your order to go. They have a small parking lot that parks 3-4 cars but there's plenty of street parking. Staff: Some yelpers complained of horrible customer service but the staff was friendly, maybe I caught them on a good day. Food: I order the curry shrimp, yellow rice and mixed cabbage. I was slightly underwhelmed, but overall, the meal was just okay and lacked seasoning. I will go back and maybe try something different. Price: I thought the prices were a little expensive for the quality and food portions. I will update this review after my 2nd visit.

The food was 10/10, I ordered Jerk Wings, rice, cabbage and plantains. I was enjoying my food until I found hair in it, I was so disgusted. So overall, I rate this establishment a 3/10.

I love the food from here!! The curry chicken is flavored so well and the gravy !!! When I entered the restaurant I was greeted by Lola at the counter who was awesome. This is definitely a go to spot for me!!!

I've got to be honest. I came here because Nyamminz is closed down, for whatever reason I don't know! *sighs* Parking was okay, there's a little space right next to the restaurant. I walked inside, it was clean and very small. I ended up ordering the curry chicken, yellow rice, cabbage, and plantains. Literally everything on my plate tasted like water, there was no flavor AT ALL. This was a huge disappointment to me because they're pretty pricey! Oh well...

My boyfriend lovesssss this place. Best jerk chicken, it's literally that good. Real deal feel here, I stick to the jerk chicken more so but everything else is pretty good

When it comes to the "Edgewood scene", and wanting a less expensive, yet still tasty bite to eat. This is it. Foxx Original Jamaican Restaurant was conveniently placed between Harold's and Mother's on the opposite side of the street, and just so happened to be adjacent to the parking lot, that we choose to park the car in a few Saturdays ago. I was hungry, and did not feel like eating basic food with an automatic gratuity plopped on, because of the party size, or club requirements. I wanted something quick, and flavorful. The set up is kind of tight. There is only 2 to 3 small tables, and a bar height one on the side, on the opposite side of the beverage coolers. They have the menu posted up on the wall, but also have smaller menus to order from. I ordered eight jerk wings, with the coordinating sauce, and a side of cabbage.The food was delicious, and Keto friendly I might add because you could order the meat and sides separately if you desired to. My food was flavorful and filling. The manager was very nice to my fiancé and me and introduced himself, and talked about how long he had been in business. He seemed like the type to remember faces and names. The star deduction here is because of the wait time, and the female cashier's dry nature. Other than that , I would definitely return for some more jerk wings. The food speaks for itself.

There was a very short wait which is really great. The staff was nice and worked fast. The food was decent. I would say that I've had better. I wasn't a huge fan of the way that they prepare their cabbage. It was yellow and not as flavored. Oxtails are my favorite and I was a little upset that they weren't falling off the bone. The unfortunate part about being downtown are the homeless people that come into the restaurant asking for food and money. (No way around that)

I'm not much of a yelp reviewer, in fact this is my first time reviewing but the food is SOOOOO good i had to let the world know! I consider myself a Jamaican cuisine enthusiast and on my search to find the best in Atlanta i think I've found the winner. The jerk chicken is AMAZING! Perfectly amount of heat, you can taste the authenticityThe beef patties are always fresh, and the lady at the counter is very friendly. I've tried almost every Jamaican restaurant in the metro Atlanta area but this one is head and shoulders above the rest. Updated Review: DANG FOXX!!! I got 3 oxtails on a dinner sized plate and one was covered in fat!!! That's not good business as i come here at least once a week!
