Ossie's Jerk Chicken

When people stereotype Caribbean food shops. This place is the flagship for it. The service by one of the women is beyond a joke. I used to come to this shop years ago and the women who worked then had much better service. If that was my business, she couldn't be at the front for my business. Also the misleading advertising for their lunchtime speacial. It states "ANY CAN DRINK" with the meal. When i asked for a gingerbeer, i get told, that i can only pick a can of cream soda or a bottle of water. From since when is a bottle of water a can. I've enclosed a picture for said advert.. I'm glad i don't live in that area for that to be the only Caribbean shop to go to. If i were you, I'd go acre lane for better service and food.

Awful! Never have I ever got from a Caribbean and had to add my own seasoning to it! Straight in the bin waste of money

Just don’t get the bad reviews. We’ve been going Ossies for years and live out of town. We come up specially for it. The goat was sublime. So much food in the container. They aren’t shy with packing it out. We sat in to eat. Found the staff friendly. Happy to give me more gravy to take my leftovers home. As just could not eat it all. My husband had oxtail with rice n peas and was very happy with it. They now take card payment as well as cash which is handy. We had some lovely chats with other customers. We’ve never had a bad food from here. If we had. We sure wouldn’t be going back. I believe you treat people how you would like to be treated yourself a bit of respect and politeness goes a long way. Remember that’s some long shifts the staff are working there !!

Where do I even start….. oh my..oh my.. this has to be one of the worst food I have ever had. The jerk chicken was horrible had no flavour or anything waisted my money. I won’t recommend it to be fair. Lucky enough they are even getting a 1 star

Lunch deal is very decent, good price, curry goat is tasty. It says you can have a fizzy juice with your meal but the only option is cream soda (which is fine) and water

Felt for Caribbean food so went with my friends, service is appalling and staff are rude. Acting like its not the customers money purchasing food keeping their shop open. Got a large curried goat and rice and peas for £13.50, the meat was uncooked and mostly bones, rice and peas was ok’ish. Not worth the price, small portions but atrocious prices for bland and old food. Overall would rate the food 2/10 and service and staff 1/10. Would never step in that shop again, food on display like mac and cheese and dumplings looked stale and old. Not fresh food at all. Waste of £84 between us when we could have made it better at home for cheaper. I believe he is the owner the guy with dreadlocks has no manners and acting like he is paying for our food. Mannerless and not worth it. They say they are halal but also sell pork and only had one fryer/stove. So i believe they mix pork and halal meat (thats only if they do have halal meat) first and last time going here

The fact that this place is still open and has good rating is baffling me. I was craving jamaïcain food and it was the last one opened. I decided to give it a try. Worst mistake of my life. The food was absolutely horrendous. No taste, bad smell, I didn’t even finish my plate and I’m not even a picky eater. And the service ? Ohh my day .. never ever

I love ossie’s, I’m here at least once or twice a week. I mostly have rice and meat dishes- because I’m a gym girl, that’s all I need. Jerk pork and pepper steak with rice and peas are my favs, as well as the curry goat/chicken. I get good service and I eat at the store most times because I like my food piping hot and heated once. The portions are huge too. Me I love a huge portion of food. I really enjoy the food from here.

As I sit here Yelping, I'm also drinking a concoction called "Guinness Punch." If you've ever wanted to introduce Guinness to a small child, this is probably the way because it tastes like candy with an alcohol content. When I was in Jerk Chicken I asked for some recs of what I should order. The woman at the counter seemed confused as to why I would ask, so I went ahead and ordered some jerk chicken. Not disappointed, it was spicy and moist and pretty good. Wouldn't recommend making a trip from across town to come here, but if you're in the area give it a go. Would try one of the punches marked with a hand-written label. Am very curious as to what the other ones are, but I can only assume they are magical.

I ate a curry chicken with rice and beans, while my beau enjoyed the jerk chicken wings with rice and beans. We both loved our meal choices and found the spice and flavor to be just right. I won't call myself an expert on all things jerk chicken, but I know a good tasting meal when I have one! This restaurant deserves some praise and attention! The people working there are courteous, friendly, helpful, and know their food! The place is also clean, inviting, and spacious. There is room beyond the window bar and ordering area to eat. You also might spot some famous faces inside. While eating their last Wednesday I spotted two former actors from the hit show The Bill.

Ossie's is one of two Caribbean takeaways within a short stretch of the Walworth Road. I have visited a number of times, and while it never seems busy there is a steady stream of customers through the door. Food is the usual Carribean fare - jerked meats, curries and patties, served with rice n pea. The jerk sauce is fiery, the curries are tasty and the service is fun and lively. One word of caution (and it may be me being a cheapskate) is that prices are relatively high for a takeaway. Typical prices are around £5.50 for a meal, although there is a good value deal of the day and bargainous lunchtime specials to be had.

The Oxtail, rice and peas and coleslaw is very tasty. 5 Star The only thing that lets this place down is the rude customer service. It has been a while since I experienced such awful customer service. Apart from mumble-ling and making no eye contact. She was on the mobile phone talking whilst trying to deal with me. I would have walked out if I was not ordering for someone else as well. Food 5* Customer Service 1*

Rude girl feisty and full of attitude attempted to serve me on weekend around 11:00pm. She had not common sense or sense of customer service at all, gave attitude when I wanted clarification on the ingredients in the soup and went as far as to say" she not sure if the soup had spicy but did I want to buy it. Really who would pay for food that might continue spice. Really disappointed as I have previously brought food from their and the service was excellent. Told her she needed to fix up and I walked out. Management need to give a good talking to or have her sour face and attitude behind the scenes & not at front desk.
