M&J Caribbean Cuisine

I absolutely love this place! The food is cafeteria style, which is really helpful if you’re in a rush and need to grab some good food real quick. All of the food is delicious. I have yet to have anything that didn’t taste good. The staff upfront are super polite very helpful and I really enjoy coming here because of how nice the service is. The restaurant itself is comfortable and clean.

Variety of options chicken,beef,pork,lamb,goat and fish/shrimp.very good seasonings and the portion of food is awesome.. will for sure return

I have gone to the spot a few times now. I loved their curry chicken and goat. This time, I decided to order something different. I ordered the Island Breeze chicken with rice and beans and plantains, and I had a side ordered of cabbage. I really enjoy coming to this Caribbean place; however It's not your favorite authentic carribbean food restaurant, but the food is seasoned nicely, and it's pretty tasty. The only thing I didn't appreciate was that the portion size is kinda smaller than what I'm used to getting,which made me feel like it was a bit pricey!

M&J never ceases to amaze me with how great their food is! Some of the best flavors around and the portions are enormous - I love coming here and having enough leftovers for two meals afterwards! I get the Island Breeze Chicken with rice & peas, and collard greens. Beef patties are also really good-nice flaky pastry with well seasoned beef inside with a hint of scotch bonnet. They’ve been out of the scotch bonnet hot sauce for a while, but if it’s ever in stock, grab some to boost your meal!

The Bread Pudding was decent, It was my first time having it so the texture threw me off but the flavor was good. The Stuffed Chicken was not good...ONLY because the sauce it's drenched in. If they take that off it would be fire , Id order it again with no sauce and the sides are very good! 8/10 .. would be 9/10 without that sauce . Taste similar to thousand island dressing, and chicken has a jerk taste .. just doesnt go together.

I love this local, hole in the wall, casual place! The food is amazing and warms you right to your core. It is cafeteria style except for the sandwiches, roti and fries which they make fresh. My recommendation is to get jerk chicken fried rice, fried plantain and the peanut coconut curry chicken. Also, their bread pudding is sooooo good. A proper bread pudding.

The food was amazing, everything I sampled was 10/10 and it was just a sample!!!! I wanted to get everything, price was great for the amount of food!! Very clean from the moment you walk in staff was very nice and helped me pick my plate thank you Gaston and family for a great experience will most definitely be back.

We got this delivered and it STILL came out to us hot and fresh! Whoever is making the food here is making it with LOVE and HARD WORK!!!!! I've tried three different Caribbean food places this week to see who had the best, and M&J's took the cake! Everywhere else had something bland, something not right... but every single thing we tried at this restaurant was seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection! From the rice and peas, to the macaroni, to the jerk chicken, to the stew beef – everything was absolutely perfect! You have won my family over, we'll be back very soon for more! Thank you sooo much for making such delicious food, please don't ever change! Thank you!

Stop debating going to this restaurant--just go! First of all, the lady behind the counter was an absolute gem. She was so sweet, helpful, and even offered small samples to make sure we'd enjoy what we ordered. I love when places do this--it shows they truly care about their customers finding something they'll love. That said, it's almost unnecessary here, because everything is delicious. The restaurant itself is very clean. There isn't a big theme or décor, but honestly, the food speaks louder than anything else. You get two sides and one meat choice. Here's what we tried: Sides: * Rice & beans - Excellent. * Fried rice - Also excellent. * Mac & cheese - Simple but satisfying. * Plantains - AMAZING. Truly the best we've ever had. * Collard greens - Delicious, and honestly the best we've ever eaten. Meats: * Island Chicken - A must-have! It's a little spicy, bursting with flavor, and absolutely unforgettable. I wish I could eat this every day. * Stuffed Chicken - Fantastic, and highly recommended by the lady behind the counter. She was right--it's worth trying. Pro tip: Ask for extra Island Chicken gravy. It's so flavorful I could honestly drink it. This is hands down the best Caribbean food I've ever had, made even better by the kind people who run it. It's fast, easy, and absolutely worth a stop if you're nearby. Please come support this local gem, you won't regret it. I will fall asleep tonight dreaming of this food.

Pretty good Caribbean food for a good price to portion ratio (provided you purchase directly instead of through uber eats or similar). Casual restaurant that wasn't busy on a Saturday lunch - picked up an oxtail plate and island breeze plate. Got regular rice, cabbage, fried rice, and collards as sides. Additionally added plantains and mac n cheese. Oxtails were tender and tasty. Felt like it could have had a stronger flavor though. Island breeze chicken was very flavorful, sweet and spicy, a little too much sauce for me. Enjoyed all the sides! Would definitely return to try other dishes.

Great little spot. Nothing fancy but you can tell these are family recipes. The lady working tonight was so friendly. Offered several samples and was incredibly patient with our crew. Food was tasty and excellent price. I had the jerk chicken and shrimp. Very good. Portions were large too. Give this spot a try. You'll enjoy it

I was in Atlanta this past week and given the crazy traffic situation here, I needed a spot close to my hotel that was good and something I couldn't find back home. Through my search, I landed upon this hole in the wall place and its rating (4.2) intrigued me. I rolled up to this place and the curb appeal wasn't great and I definitely was looking around as I walked in....to make sure I made it safely of course. I'm not familiar with the area and again, retail center reminded me of a Dave Chappelle skit...so on to the place. I walk in and nobody is in this restaurant except me and one employee who was doubling as the server and cashier. I let her know I was a first timer and needed the full tour as the food was served more cafeteria style. She was very helpful and let me sample many of the plates before I committed. Everything I tried was delicious and she helped me navigate the spiciness of the dishes very well. I literally wanted to order everything they had but I needed to leave some food for the locals ...lol...the standouts for me were the jerk chicken and the island breeze chicken. The whole menu was the bomb. Thank God I don't live near this place as I don't know how long my life expectancy would be. Don't forget the carrot guava juice...I mean where can you find this! Anyways, great work here and I'll be back if I'm ever in the area again.

Didn't have the chance to take a picture but I've been meaning to check this place out and it was amazing! The woman behind the counter was kind and helpful and offered us samples! I have a list of food I want to try so I will definitely be back!

WOW this place is fantastic. I had the Island Chicken - it was unlike anything I've ever had before. Creamy spicy savory and sweet. It's something everyone should try. I also had the jerk chicken which was not as good but still, the island chicken blew my MIND. I also tried the plantains and the rice and beans which were phenomenal. The rice was packed with flavor and the gravy from the island chicken made it even better!! We also tried the beef patties and chicken patties. Both were great, I thought the beef was the best one though! TRY THIS PLACE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

Service is always excellent, as is the food. Large portions for a good price. One plate is usually enough to feed me for 2-3 days!

M&J has catered 3 events at my job and each time has been fantastic! They have great customer service and a great selection of foods. I had mango chicken, plantains, max and cheese, oxtails, jerk chicken fried rice, and red beans and rice the second go round. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. Please stop by on your lunch break or call them for event inquiries because they are phenomenal. Thank you for such great food and service!

I love coming here for Caribbean food. They have really great goat and Jamaican patties. They have the food lined up buffet style and you can try anything you want. There's plenty of seating if you want to dine in or take to go.

My go-to Caribbean spot in Peachtree Corners shut down last year so we decided to check out M&J for lunch. The stewed chicken really hit the spot with the rice & beans and cabbage. It all kind of looked one color but honestly, I'll take as much of that sauce as possible. The beef pattie was pretty standard but came in at a good price of $2. The bread pudding with rum sauce was a bit disappointing. It was only $3 though so I guess I shouldn't be complaining. I'll have to try reheating it next time. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely need to stop in for more!

Absolutely amazing curries (we tasted goat and oxtail), jerk rice and veg sides. We have just returned from another trip to Jamaica and can attest that this place is the real deal! Very friendly staff

Very good a Egusi soup very warm welcoming atmosphere I would recommend them for anybody who wants good to make good Egusi soup.

It's just not that great. Also, I don't know where in the Caribbean this is supposed to represent, but I certainly cannot place it. The majority of the food has a distinct coconut flavor...so there's that. Island Breeze Chicken: Very sweet and very coconuty. I would not get this again. Caribbean Chicken and Shrimp: A kind of curry based dish with rock hard shrimp and ok chicken. The overwhelming "flavor" is spicy. Tender chicken but overall not great. Cabbage: Pretty good. The only thing I really enjoyed. Mac and Cheese: looks way better than it tastes. Rather bland, needs salt. Overall it is just ok but I see no reason to go there again with so many other wonderful Caribbean options.

Delicious food, very moist chicken (I got the curry chicken and my boyfriend got the island breeze chicken), amazing cooked cabbage, plantains, and white rice. Really friendly staff that let's you sample the food along the buffet line that the server plates for you as well! I've had authentic Caribbean food and this exceeds all expectations. We took it to go but there are tables that you can sit at inside. We will definitely be back!

Good food with solid prices. We order M&J delivered, so we did not dine in. The order was delivered quickly and still hot. As noted in another review, the Caribbean flavor is different from what I think of as "traditional." There is definitely a sweeter, coconut flavor in the sauces that I was not used to. However, it was still plenty delicious. I got the Oxtail dinner with mac n cheese and cabbage. All dinners come with a meat and 2 sides. I only got a handful of Oxtail, but they are so large that there are plenty of meat to fill up. As mentioned previously, the sauce is sweeter than what I am used to, but it was still bursting with flavor. The mac n cheese is spot on and I will be ordering the cabbage anytime I dine here. It was tender and seasoned perfectly. My wife got the Island Breeze chicken with mac and jerk chicken fried rice and loved it. The Island Breeze chicken seems to be the popular dish here, but it is not for me. It comes with a very sweet sauce instead of jerk. The others in our party got the jerk chicken and stuffed chicken, which they loved. The meat on everyone's dish was tender and seasoned well. We also got 1 veggie and 1 beef patty. They were your typical patties, nothing special. I preferred the beef patty over the veggie. I will be back to M&J and can't wait to try the other meats and sides. Next time I will ask about adding spicy sauces, which I see others ordered.

I recently tried the oxtails as it was close for delivery in my area. While the color was surprising (definitely hesitant to actually eat) - more reddish-orange than the usual brown - and there was a lot of fat, the taste was just okay. Not the best, so it might be a last resort option if I order from here again.

The food is amazing. Service is fantastic. Ambience is low key/ quiet. The owner was the chef at Caribbean Fiesta, which is why the restaurant completely fell flat after he left. I'm so glad I found him again! The food is full of Caribbean flavors and there are so many dishes to choose from. All incredibly flavorful. Consistently good. This is my secret spot! They cater and I highly recommend!!! Our staples: Coconut peanut chicken, rice & peas, plantains, garbanzo stew, cabbage and 2 random extra meats (they are ALLLLLL good!) depending on the what im in the mood for (e.g., spicy, seafood, beef).

As delicious as anyplace we went to in Jamaica! The Island Breeze Chicken is soooo amazing!!! Everything else is merely fantastic. M&J's is a hidden gem you should absolutely try!

Excellent food!! My hubby is Guyanese AND a Chef! We both found the food flavorful and the portion sizes are commensurate with the prices!! We were equally thrilled to find out that the Chef's from Tropical are behind this gem. We both had the oxtails and they are bursting with flavor and the portions are generous. I love the twist with the jerk fried rice as an option. Consistency is key, so if they continue down this path I see nothing but success for this establishment! I can speak for us; we will be long standing patrons!

The mango chicken kabobs are excellent. Mac and cheese with collards. Absolutely one of my favorite meals. And the portions are huge.

Me and my family just left this horrific desire-to-be Jamaican inspired restaurant all about 8 minutes ago. Save your coins! This place is a SCAM and an insult to the Caribbean culture. Tell me why in the world their brown stew chicken was bright red and tasted like the cheapest water-based spaghetti sauce? And their collards tasted as if they prepared them the week prior, froze them, and thawed them the day they were planning to serve them. Pathetic at best. And that's being nice. Lastly, why do they try and sucker you out of your money by saying they have a no refund policy when they 1. Do not have it disclosed anywhere in or outside of the building, and 2. When they know their food is unpalatable. We should have known better when we walked in, and it was only two Caucasian patrons sitting with a full plate of food and a facial expression of total disgust during a busy dinner hour. If you want to know the total truth. I JUST GAVE IT TO YOU. Eat this crap at your absolute own risk. It's so bad that the "Feed the Hungry" organization would throw it back at them. Bad food. Bad business practices. Good written, and may you be truly blessed if you attempt to eat this mess after you have been truthfully and honestly warned. Especially for those of us who know authentic Caribbean food.

Solid Caribbean food. The owners are super friendly as well you can try get samples, what.. The brown stew chicken was VERY good.

This food is absolutely amazing! You have to give it a chance lots of options great service the ambience is typical Jamaican. Will definitely come back!

First visit. My wife has eaten here in the past and said I needed to try it. We don't live in the area but will return if I'm in Norcross. Lots of parking. The food was delicious. My wife ordered the Island Breeze chicken and I ordered the Caribbean Chicken and Shrimp. The order was huge and about two meals for me. I can't wait to return and try one of their other dishes. You may not see this business from the road, so look it up. It's well worth the visit.

Social distancing, and masks are required in order to enter the restaurant. I love Caribbean restaurants, especially when it's apart of my DNA.... :-) I was told by another Yelper about M & J's Caribbean Cuisine. I'm glad Ms. Stephanie shared the great news about this place. The cooks are the BOMB!!! :-) This was my son's first time visiting here. I requested that he place the order online, so that we didn't have to wait. I was at Publix grocery shopping earlier, so I decided to wait in the car, while my son picked up the food. But anyway, I ordered an oxtail dinner. I don't eat rice, so I had Mac & cheese, and collard greens. I forgot to have my son order plantains. My son had 2 Jamaican patties, and 2 coco breads. His friend only eat pasta, so she only had a Jamaican patty with coco bread. Pros: EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! I'm not a big eater, so I had plenty leftovers. They give nice size portions, so you will definitely get full. The oxtail and collard greens was soooo good. It was the best choice I selected. Omg! :-) The gentleman at the counter, was very polite to my son. He served everything that I requested online as well. Also, you can literally eat off the floor, in the restaurant. The place is spic and span. The decor is nice, the tables clean, the food presentation is really nice, and again the food is so delicious. My son and his friend enjoyed their coco bread and patty. :-) It's many items to choose from. If you're a vegetarian, pescatarian, or meat lover, this restaurant got you. Cons: there isn't any. Like I said, you will NOT be disappointed. Next time, I will walk in, and select for myself since the food is there and you can view through the glass. When I visit again, I will order the fish, collard greens, and plantains. :-) I will definitely be back soon.

I have frequented this business a lot over the past 2 years. It is kinda of hidden. It's in the plaza with African Hair braiding. It's in the same plaza as the African Restaurant Cafe Songhai. There's free ample parking. They don't close until 10pm so that's a plus! This is a family business. I usually interact with the son or the daughter. Both are pleasant and helpful with food suggestions. I usually get the Island Breeze chicken. The sauce is so good! It's a little spice but not overwhelming. I always always ask them to put it on my rice and peas. All meals come with 2 sides. They have Mac n cheese, white rice, rice and peas, cabbage, greens, plantains and a few others I can't remember. They have curry chicken, curry beef, goat, oxtails and pork choices as well. They also sell bread pudding with a rum sauce! Delicious They also sell drinks and sandwiches. I have not had any sandwiches yet. I highly recommend this restaurant as it's affordable, delicious and well portioned.

The food here is so good! I typically order the island breeze chicken with 1/2 jerk fried rice and 1/2 rice and beans with collard greens and plantains. The chicken is served in a sweet and spicy cream sauce. The portions are huge and there are so many options. The setup is cafeteria style and the food is always fresh. This is one of my go to's when I'm craving Caribbean food.

When you walk in the fragrances hit you. Then you walk and you see the plethora of meats and vegetables and other sides. And you're greeted as you walked through the door by a smile under a mask and just happy to be at work. Then you try to figure out what you're gonna eat but if you don't know then let use example the foods as they explain what each one of them are.But no matter what you choose you're gonna be so very happy satisfied content and overall excited to put it in your mouth. This is a must try a must try

This place catered an event for me. Everyone loved the food!! Great prices, friendly staff, and very good food. I was surprised they were able to have my catering done in 48 hours! And someone was there to put all the food in my car. I sent everyone at the event the name of this restaurant. They were all asking where it came from. Thank you Arnella and staff!!!

Went here because spice it up restaurant across the street was closed on memorial so I decided to try this place instead: Ordered the Stewed chicken: Nasty 4/10, with fried rice (overcooked 6/10, a chicken patty which was also nasty (5/10) and the greens which were fairly decent but super spicy. Jerk wings were disgusting! Could not eat. Literally the worst Jerk I have ever tasted (1/10) Restaurant was super clean but definitely not Jamaican food. Won't be returning, I do not recommend.

We've always had takeout, and it's always been a pleasure to eat their food. Portions are generous and flavors are on point. Whenever we're in a lazy mood and want something satisfying we end up ordering from here. the only complaint we have is that sometimes the workers seem to be sloppier with the packaging- they wrap all the containers together with the plastic wrap as opposed to individually. this results in having to deal with a mess at home. we prefer the employees that wrap the containers individually *you rock*

Ordered delivery at 7:45 on a weeknight Jerk chicken: absolutely amazing, best I've had in ages. The spice is just right, tender, large portion, and has that char flavor like it was cooked on an actual grill Cabbage: delicious, very flavorful - peppery but no heat Mac n cheese: very good, my mom would approve Plantains: yummy, good specimen of a standard side Greens: a bit spicy for my taste, wasn't expecting so much heat in greens but that's just my preference - very flavorful even with so much heat Beans & rice: would have liked more beans, but super tasty nevertheless Beef patty: pretty good, would have liked more flavor in the meat tho Curry chicken patty: outstanding! Wish they served this flavor profile with the cooking method of the jerk chicken Will for SURE order again and recommend

Overall, just okay; not craveable yet certainly not nasty. The oxtails had decent flavor and portion size to justify value, however, perhaps the curry goat should be offered as a boneless option to avoid them serving up large portions of bones. I cannot say that we could scrape together even 1 tablespoon of meat amongst the cup full of bones and gravy; Certainly not a good value for sauce alone. The cabbage and plantains were good and the rice and peas standard. In my opinion, M&J Caribbean Cuisine is better than the higher-rated My Jamaican Spot, however, I do not feel that I will return to either.

Good food and even better selection to choose from! I will certainly go back and try more items

This place is good. It's not your Jamaican Caribbean cuisine. You can tell it has more Latin influence but the food was still very good and the prices aren't bad. It's set up like a cafeteria as far as serving so everything is premade. I got two orders of oxtails with rice and cabbage. Again this is not Jamaican because they used butter beans in their rice. Never had it this way but it was still super flavorful. Apparently my mom only had like two oxtails in hers so she took some of mine where I had like 5. I also got two orders of coco bread and a chicken patty. They were pretty good. Sweet and fluffy, I added some extra butter to make it even more buttery. The chicken patty was really yummy and had the right amount of spice to it. Altogether it came up to around 40ish dollars i think.

I am SO glad this restaurant opened. The chefs are the original from the Tropical Caribbean Cuisine. Well, the chefs decided to open M&Js and I am so glad! The food is better than ever (I got all my favorite dishes back!), the restaurant is extremely clean, and the service is spectacular! They opened a couple of weeks ago and I've already made it a weekly habit. I can count on amazing dishes, a wide variety and tender delicious meats. Reminds me of my grandma's cooking everyone absolutely loves! My mouth waters as I write this... can't wait to be back next week. Please, please support the restaurant. We need to help businesses that provide quality food at very reasonable prices during these difficult times. Don't be intimidated by the variety, they will give you samples :) My favorite is: rice & peas (beans), Mac n cheese, plantains, the garbanzo dish (so good!) and the sweet chicken (coconut/peanut chicken). However, everything and I really mean everything is amazing.

You know it's good when you thank god , Mary and the little lambs I love spicy boneless chicken . Good portions , the chicken is tender the only thing I didn't like was the collards because they put tomatoes in it.

Went driving looking for Caribbean food and found this spot. Someone said it's a hidden gem , so I said I'll have to see about that. It is different. Not the usual Caribbean taste. However it was still pretty tasty. When I walked in my first impression was that it was very clean. Maybe no one pays attention to this but sometimes I do you just never know when you may see a bug, cause if I do IM OUT! Lol They greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. I ordered ox tails. They are not ox tails I'm use too so if you're looking for the Jamaican Caribbean taste this AIN'T IT! But the food was okay. Rice and peas, cabbage and plantains were really good. Try it !

I'm happy I was able to give the restaurant a try. The plantains were dry/old. The oxtails (2 orders) were not good at all. A waste of $46 but at least I tried, right? ‍

This restaurant is incredible. I have yet to be disappointed with a single thing I've eaten here. The best things here are Island Breeze Chicken, rice and beans, fried rice, and plantains.

This was my first time coming here and I was very pleased. There was an excellent selection of wonderful Caribbean dishes. The server was very friendly and attentive. She offered us samples of several dishes we had not tried before. I ordered the peanut coconut chicken and my friend had oxtails. Everything was perfectly cooked and so delicious. The side dishes were also excellent. The portions were large and the prices were certainly very reasonable. I will definitely be coming back.

The oxtails were perfect both times I went! I'm not a fan of the mac and cheese but everything else was splendid!!!

When I first came to try the Caribbean food, The Front desk Lady is so nice , Let me try a Lot of Samples and let me figure out which one I liked。I Did try Daily special Spicy Chicken, is good but a little too spicy for me, The lady Even give me one free Bottle water 、So nice service 。Then I came few times and I tried the Sweet BBQ Chicken Leg Daily special, and Stuff chicken。Then Today I came again , The lady just too friendly and give large portion Jerk pork for me, So appreciated。I like their food and Hope eat again

Today was my second time here and it was even better than my first time! Today I got the oxtail with fried rice and collards, beef stew with white rice and cabbage and everything was perfect. The employees hooked me up! Generous portions, food was super fresh, and had wonderful flavor. The beef stew was a little salty, I could probably eat double the amount of rice with the amount of meat I got. Next time I may get the coconut chicken, it tasted similar to a Hong Kong dish i love (Portuguese chicken), and I bet it would taste great with some rice. My favorite is still the oxtail, savory but not too salty, goes great with rice and only for 15.99! Other places charge more and don't even give as much. I recommend everyone who wants to have Caribbean food to come here!!!!! Excellent customer service, I probably could've sampled every single item if I wanted to, the employees are so nice here. I will definitely be back and bringing my friends and family!

The service was prompt and the server had a very positive attitude. I had the Jerk Chicken Sandwich w/ mac and cheese, a beef patty, and rum cake. I also came back the next day and got the chicken patty as well. The food was delicious and fresh. Their was also an amazing selection of drinks that isn't offered normally everywhere else like the pineapple ginger beer. Highly recommend to anyone who wants quick and delicious Caribbean food.

Best casual hole in the wall spot for Caribbean comfort food in Peachtree Corners. Soooo tasty! Perfect for when you're too tired to cook but still want the joy of a home cooked meal

This place is everything!!! Everything we've been missing (bye Chef Rob's). Ordered through Uber Eats & the food was super fresh, tightly wrapped containers with plastic and my requests were followed. My family and I are so satisfied! Definitely will be ordering the Oxtail next time. Curry Goat w/ Veggies, Rice & Peas Jerk Chicken w/ Jerk Fried Rice & Cabbage Beef Patty I don't have a single complaint. Can't wait to try more from here and will be recommending this gem to my people.

Food is always ON POINT! It's set up like a chipotle where they have the food laid out and you can pick with your eyes. I always want a lil taste of everything but I highly recommend the Mango chicken, beans and rice and plantains

Damn this food is so good. I got my usual the island breeze chickens w/ rice and peas and fried plantains. My mans got some chicken and shrimp but I forget the name. We got coco bread , my first time trying it .. these humans don't miss lol everything is good. The young guy that served us was very sweet, offered us to try the different entrees. I tried the stew chicken, my mouth is still watering lmao. Anyway, restaurant is hella clean and neat. Covid safe, sanitizer on deck near the register. This is the same cook from Tropical Caribbean Cuisine so you know the food is bomb. They can have all my monies cause I can't cook this
