Rodney’s Jamaican Soul Food

This restaurant is amazing! The food is incredibly tender and bursting with flavor—I can never resist pairing my meal with their delicious sweet chili sauce. The appetizers and entrees are both top-notch, and I can’t get enough of their amazing mudslide drink! I usually get the curry chicken, oxtails, brown stew chicken, and coconut shrimp! Plus, the location is super convenient, just a stone's throw from The Battery and Cumberland Mall. Trust me, you won’t regret stopping by!

A co-worker recommended this place, so I made an online order and picked up my food. The bartender I give 5 stars he was very nice. If I could give a 0 on the quality of the food I would. I ordered chicken jerk egg roll, and a chicken and beef patty. When I got there I was told they were out of chicken patty would I like beef instead, I agreed. After I left I opened my food, I went for the egg rolls first. The egg rolls were not chicken and it was disgusting, and the beef taste fake looks like dog meat. They gave me normal sweet and sour sauce warmed up….terrible. I could not eat it, so I tried the beef patty that was terrible too. It looked like grounded up dog meat, and I thought this restaurant was authentic🤦🏾‍♀️ fins and feathers food is authentic compared to this place, if you want good cooked from scratch including the dipping sauce egg rolls …that’s the place to go. I cook myself and everything from scratch, so I know what I am talking about when it comes to food. I wasted 25 dollars that I could have blessed someone homeless with. I will never eat here again.

Brown Stew Chicken doesn’t take authentic nor even like Brown Stew Chicken. Rice and peas were flavorless. The meal doesn’t come with a single plantain. $6.50 for a side of paper thin plantain that smelt and tasted like old grease is just irritating when you have craved a Jamaican meal for awhile. Waste of $30. Definitely WILL NOT return.

My family has been coming to Rodney’s over 10+ years, even as far back as his original location on Windy Hill. I only eat Jamaican food at Rodney’s unless I’m actually in Jamaica. Hands down, the Best!!

This is a fine dining experience that boasts a wonderful medley of Soul Food and Jamaican cuisine. The southern goodness of collard greens, fried chicken, mac and cheese will tickle your palate for the rich taste of oxtails and gravy, curry chicken, akee and saltfish. These are a few items on the menu that I have tried and are flavorful and delicious. They have good service and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The bar serves drinks that will hype your mood for the musical sounds played by their amazing DJ.

Beautiful clean restaurant with great atmosphere. Came here for lunch and food came quickly and tastes amazing. Ordered: salt fish w ackee, and yam soufflé and cabbage and greens

Saturday for lunch: We had the oxtail stew, cabbage, Mac & cheese, red beans and rice, jerk chicken, and jerk chicken eggrolls, and plantains! Hands down the best of it all was the jerk chicken followed closely by the oxtail stew. There were only 2 dishes we didn't enjoy. The cabbage tasted a little dirty and the plantains came out cold and didn't really taste like what we were expecting. Would we go here again ,yes! We actually came back the next day to get some oxtail and jerk chicken for the road. The atmosphere: music playing at a reasonable tone and multiple tvs for your viewing pleasure. At the time only a few guest were inside so it wasn't to crowded. It was clean and honestly looks like they scaled up a bit.

I had the curry tofu with jasmine rice and steamed broccoli. It was delicious!!! 😋
