"This West Indian spot in Journal Square, which opened in December, is serving codfish fritters with scotch bonnet remoulade and beef patties rolled in flaky dough on its outdoor patio. You can make a reservation at this BYOB spot by calling 201-653-6533, or stop by between 12-5pm on weekends for brunch, when they serve things like braised oxtail and eggs. The menu changes often, so check out their Instagram for the latest updates." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, matt tervooren

"NYC has a wealth of restaurants serving Dominican, Jamaican, Cuban, Trinidadian, Puerto Rican, and Barbadian food, but what about the other 700 or so islands less represented? That deficiency was partly remedied in 2020 by the appearance of Freetown Road Project. The menu represents the food of Antigua and Barbuda, and the chef is Claude Lewis, The pepperpot is the best you’ve ever tried, deeply colored, slightly spicy, and fully flavorful, and other specialties abound." - Robert Sietsema

Title: Mixed Experience at Freetown Road Project in Jersey City ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ My recent visit to Freetown Road Project in Jersey City was a mixed bag. The chicken and waffle dish left much to be desired – it took two attempts for the chef to get it right, and even then, it lacked taste. On the bright side, the yucca fries were a delight with a delicious sauce, and the cheese quesadillas were wonderful and flavorful. The chicken wings, unfortunately, were dry and lacked flavor. The standout was the exceptional service received throughout. However, be warned that finding parking can be quite challenging. Overall, a mixed dining experience with room for improvement.

The food was decent but the wait had me baffled based on the empty dining room. 10$ Watered down Sorrel drink was the kicker. A little detail like gravy on the rice goes a long way to hit the spot but I was denied that since the order was wrong. The wings were tasty (5) and the (5) Shrimp on the pasta hit the spot. No cabbage on a Wednesday evening is laughable for a side that should be a staple. I’m left wondering whats going on in the kitchen. 60$! Read other reviews about the watered down drinks and it hasn’t been fixed. $7 for plantains?! Wonder how long this place can stay in business?? Good luck!

The girls and I got together to get lunch. When we arrived we parked on the street nearby. We walked in and were greeted by the amazing server Martin. We sat in the cozy restaurant and fyi, it's byob. I ordered the curry shrimp, and the girls ordered different meals. When the food came out, it all looked delicious. One of the girls ordered mac and cheese, and it was so delicious. As for my meal, it was so tasty! I really liked the flavors of the curry shrimp. All the girls really enjoyed their meals and I will definitely return. Fyi, it's super affordable!

The food is outstanding. Don't walk ... run! From the service to appetizer down to the drinks were spot on and smashin! I will be dreaming about my rasta pasta and oxtails for a while. Don't get me wrong , I will be revisiting this week. Everything had me weak in the knees.

Let me tell you, Caribbean food would not be Caribbean food without the infused Caribbean seasoning and flavors. I ordered fish with rice and peas and I had a side order of cassava fries. Everything was so deliciously made. The atmosphere is inviting. The service was phenomenal. The waitress was so friendly. I had an awesome experience, and I will be back.

This was a cool place with good vibes, games and very genuine people. I originally thought it was a Jamaican restaraunt but I believe it’s more Antiguan. The dry rub chicken wings were actually delicious. The beef patties were a bit more like empanadas in my opinion, but still tasty. The only reason for my 1 star off was because I didn’t love the oxtail. It was a bit rubbery and overcooked and though it came out hot, my rice and peas was cold. I also never got the actual gravy I wanted on it but it wasn’t bad. I would go again and just get something else

I don’t leave reviews often however, great food needs to be recognized. Having recently moved to Jersey City, I have been on the hunt for great Caribbean food and pleased to announced that we have found it. The establishment is cozy and tastefully decorated providing a welcoming ambiance whether you’re here with family, friends, or on a date. I ordered the Yard Fowl and the only time I put down my fork was when it slipped out of my hand. This dish is spicy, wholesome and incredibly flavourful. I’m very critical when it comes to recommending food, but the Yard Fowl is a knockout …. Also it’s Halal!
