Best Caribbean and Jamaican Restaurants in Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"Considering itself “Jamaican fusion”, Rodney’s includes several cultures that make the island rich in diversity. Fill up on curried shrimp, chicken, or goat roti, but also try the tamarind-glazed shrimp and grits, oxtails prepared as pepper steak, and inventive jerk-seasoned dishes, from chicken egg rolls and burgers to sea scallops and lamb stew. Don’t forget to order a slice of rum and butterscotch cake with vanilla ice cream." - Mike Jordan

Rodney's Jamaican Soul Food is a solid spot if you're looking for a place with good vibes, especially when they have a DJ playing. The food is okay—I’ve definitely had better—but the energy picks up once the drinks start flowing. Just make sure to drink responsibly! There’s plenty of free parking, which makes things super convenient. We've used this place as a pregame spot a few times before walking over to The Battery. It’s a fun atmosphere when you're with a group and looking to kick off your night. Be safe and enjoy!

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!

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.

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.

Ate their yesterday for the 2nd time and our server was Reggie. He had great recommendations and our service was that of a 5 star restaurant. We didn't have to ask him for anything!!! We will definitely be back to see him. It's great actually having a waiter that shows great hospitality. Thanks Reggie. Oh and the jerk egg rolls were 🔥 🔥!!. Definitely ask for him when you get there!!

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!!

Came here for a birthday dinner. Nice cute restaurant. Excellence service. The staff were very attentive. I ordered the jerk chicken, yam soufflé and cabbage. Food came out piping hot and it was very flavorful. I'm usually not a fan of Jamaican food and I loved it. The rum punch was sooo good, tasted like I was back on the beach in Jamaica! Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Haven't been here since before the pandemic. It has changed tremendously. The ambiance is still nice. It's very spacious with plenty of outside parking. The service has gone down tremendously. We went during lunch. It was virtually empty. Our server wasn't pleasant and she had to go through multiple glasses before she found a clean one just to pour water. I'm really upset about the portions of food. The flavor is great but the portions aren't. In fact, it's offensive! I ordered a jerk chicken meal with rice and peas, and collard greens. I was still hungry afterwards. I then ordered another side of collard greens, and cornbread. The server brought a small portion of greens, then she said they were out of cornbread. I said "y'all just opened". She said "I know. We're out of cornbread though". I then asked to have the kitchen fill up the greens. The side was very small and they didn't have cornbread. She refused, then replied by saying "that's one portion". My husband was still hungry also so he ordered a slice of carrot cake, which was ice cold hard. It was like chewing on Now Laters. They really should warm their cakes before serving them to people. That was horrible! Our bill came just under $50.00, but we were still hungry. Our 12 year old who was with us said "Well looks like you need to go to McDonald's". We don't even eat fast food, y'all. Whether lunch or dinner, you should not leave still hungry. Forget about this place until they learn how to feed people. It's not worth it.

Three visits in three weeks, 45 min drive one way, and I should not be spending money. I have tried the jerk chicken, conch fritters , jerk egg rolls, strip steak, rice, yams, and black eyed peas. I can't say how the more expensive items on the menu compare to the price, but I would not hesitate to try them if I was in the spending mood. Everything has been roughly 9.5 out of 10. I could nitpick, but this food outweighs its price point. If you like Jamaican, any sort of soul food whatsoever, try it here. If you're disappointed it's because they got a new chef and you should tell them to go find them and beg them to take their job back.

Oh no. This is absolutely disgusting. The stew chicken had uncooked skin in it and the sauce just taste off. I can't explain it. Same with the Mac N Cheese it's taste like gross eggs and noodles like no seasoning. A cute set up and good music but this food is horrible. Beef patties we over cooked. Couldn't taste jerk anything in the eggrolls but they seems Tex mex style with beans and corn. Absolutely not Jamaican. I will drive next time. The star is so nice but they need a new chef or recipes cause this ain't it. You better going to Jamaican mi crazy down the road and they still ain't the best either.

Moved here 8 months ago and tried this Jamaican restaurant near by. They are always courteous. The place is clean and there is usually reggae music playing softly in background. My food is always good. I have not tried everything on the menu, but can speak to the jerk chx, curry chx, chx roti, wings, greens, rice n peas, mac n cheese, plantains and rum punch!!! All on point and satisfying.

Horrible. No flavor. Sauce on meat. Jerk sauce is bland. Vegetables out the can taste. Not made for island people.

I had the curry chicken plate. It was pretty good. Not the best I've had but pretty good. The beef patties were super spicy which I wasn't ready for but they were still good. The service could have been better but they seemed very busy with takeout order so they get a pass.

This restaurant was suggested from La Quinta by Wyndham's list of places to eat. I did not expect it to be fine dining atmosphere when we entered. The inside is beautiful with white linen tables and wine glasses. Servers were dressed nicely. We ordered the oxtail, fried chicken and crab curry dinner meals. The presentation was nice. We each sampled each others food. All tasted amazing. My children can be picky eaters and they gave this place a thumbs up. Our server, Damien, was so polite and always checked on us. He gave status of when our food will be ready, etc. He knew the menu and made suggestions. We are visiting from California. If we ever come back, we would come to eat here again.

Shout out to our server Damian for being amazing from the moment we arrived! We knew we were in for a treat from that point. We ordered several items to sample, and they all were delicious. Highlights were the beef patties, jerk chicken, stew chicken, and stew red snapper. Oh, and I can't forget the rum punch! We also tried the Hennessy margarita. Needless to say, I was no good for the rest of the day (food and drank coma) but completely satisfied!

I visited Rodney's Jamaican Soul Food a while back during lunch with a large group. The pricing is mid-level but there were a few options under $20. The aesthetic was nice with music playing and great smells coming from the kitchen. The reviews made me nervous, but the food and service were great. I enjoyed the jerk chicken, rice and peas and the beef patty. I felt that the plantains could have been sweeter. I would dine in again during lunch for sure.

So this restaurant was suggested by a friend. We were add an event and looking to get something to eat afterwards. I'm not gonna lie when we pulled up and it was in a shopping plaza I wasn't expecting the inside to look like anything special. But when we walked in me and my group of friends were pleasantly shocked at how beautiful the inside was. I wanna start off by saying that our waiter Damien was amazing! He had only been working there for a few weeks he said but he had the best customer service and was very attentive to the table of seven of us. He made great suggestions and gave honest opinions about the food. Which I really appreciate. So as an appetizer me and a friend got the jerk chicken eggrolls $11.50 and the jerk muscles $12.50. The jerk chicken eggrolls were good and served with a sweet chili sauce. But my favorite appetizer was the jerk muscles. I was very intrigued by this on the menu because I love muscles and was wondering what jerk muscles would taste like. Well let me tell you they are delicious! I personally think the portion is small but the flavor makes up for that. What are you a piece of Coco bread to dip that wonderful sauce in and you will not be disappointing. Most of us at the table had the same idea and wanted to try the oxtails $26. The ox tails come with two sides of your choice. I decided to get the cabbage and mashed potatoes and both were very flavorful. This place was such a good choice. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. This will be placed in my rotation of favorite restaurants.

My fav Jamaican spot in the Atlanta area. The jerk chicken rolls are the best chicken rolls I've ever had in my life. Idk what that sauce is that comes with them but it was obviously prepared in heaven and sent down for our pleasure. Mac n cheese is good. Oxtails is good. I normally get the jerk chicken and it's always perfect. I had the fried chicken once and never again. It had no seasoning on it at all. But everything is great.

I hate to do this as I want to support black owned businesses however I must post the horrible experience I just had at this restaurant first of all the bartender/ waitress customer service was a negative zero her attitude was disgusting which was a surprise because all the other times I've been there the bartender/ waitresses service has always been exceptional even when the food wasn't good the service made up for it . Tonight 6/11 whoever the bartender/ waitress was not ideal first she got our order wrong my husband is allergic to mayo we told her to not put anything on the burger she brought it out loaded when we address the issue she got an attitude still wanted us to pay for the burger even though he couldn't eat it my meal wasn't fresh the chicken was rubbery to curry was watery the tofu was old not tasty at all I was very upset I wasted my time and money .

This place is really cute inside, didn't expect it from the outside. My waiter Damien was phenomenal. I would come back just for him. I had the jerk chicken pasta, pretty good with a little kick. My toddler had the yam soufflé and tore it up. I had the Rodney's special drink... they didn't hold back on the liquor.

I ordered the curry tofu and it was delicious! I have been here a couple of times and I am very pleased with the amount of vegetarian dishes. I would be back to try more. Only taking off one star because one time we placed a to go order and it took a while to prepare. Overall, the service for dine in has been good. The ambiance is nice and would be a good date or celebration spot. There is plenty of parking as well.

I ordered the Jerk Conch and it was delicious!! I should have tried the beans and rice as well but I was craving fries and that was not a bad decision at all either! This place is beautiful on the inside as well! The service was incredible! You've gotta try this place!!

The ambiance was more than I expected! Upscale and very clean. The service was excellent, the food was fabulous! I will be making this a weekly spot for sure. That Rum Punch was punching in a good way.

It's taken me a while to write this review because I wanted to be fair and not base it on any emotions left over from my hunger!!! Here we go.. my visit was 4/8/23 The server, although nice, lacked personality and mumbled the entire time. The restrooms were clean. We ordered quite a bit of food, so I'll give the run down... - Old sweet tea with a strong taste - the fried Chicken was old and cold. The batter was thick (old flour and old oil), crumbly, unseasoned and charred well. - the cornbread looked delicious, but was hard, crumbly and lacked flavor-how does that happen? - the Creamed corn was more of a chowder with kernel corn in cream. My husband enjoyed it but it wasn't my thing! - Macaroni was not flavorful and had a weird taste - my granddaughter loved her Salmon burger! - my daughter enjoyed the Coconut rice - the Oxtails were from the literal bottom of the barrel and were bones only. The server said they are always like that--even though we pointed out that there was NO actual meat on the plate! - everyone seemed to like the collard Greens (I did not try them) - my husband loved the Fried trout - the Plantains were flavorful but a little too mushy -the sweet potatoes were seasoned well (a little heavy nutmeg) and tasted like pie! This was $100 worth of food and my second chance for this establishment! Sadly, this was it for me!

I called and placed an order for pickup at 11:19am I was quoted that it would be fine in 10-15 minute. Now I have to get to work I did not come in until 12pm that's 40 minutes after I placed my order. When I walked in nobody was in the establishment except to coworkers one who was eating and the other who was on the phone. My order still wasn't ready and the excuse was they was waiting on rice after I asked another employee to check on my order. I was late for work and left with no food! I thought it was very unprofessional to quote someone 10 to 15 minutes, knowing that the food wouldn't be done I would of never order. The nonchalant attitude of not caring is absolutely insane.

Rodney's Jamaican Soul Food has been in my Yelp bookmarks "To Try" for a while. This Jamaican and soul food "fusion" restaurant has been around for nearly a decade (opened 2011, I believe). It's located in Cumberland Square North, the shopping center with Goodwill and restaurants like Olive Garden, Pho Dakao, Tacos La Villa, The Pirate's Boil, and Yakitori Jinbei, on Cobb Parkway across from Best Buy. My friends and I agreed the dinner we had from this restaurant was delicious. Service was great too. Along with serving lunch and dinner, Rodney's also functions as a late-night hangout spot (club/lounge) on Friday and Saturday nights when the business is open until 2am next day. They bring in DJs and host various events. Check out their Facebook and Instagram pages for more info. FB: https://www.facebook.com/Rodneys-Jamaican-Soul-Food-140704136029076 IG: https://www.instagram.com/rodneyscuisine/ Inside, this restaurant has a spacious dining room with large, U-shaped booths, ideal for large groups and parties. They have a bar too, with plenty of TVs all around. In addition, they have a covered outdoor patio (storefront), but it was closed during my visit (the outside furniture was stacked up and put away). This is a casual place with a relaxed, comfortable, laid-back atmosphere. My friends and I referred to the dinner menu on Rodney's website (https://www.rodneyscuisine.com/) and I called in our order for a Wednesday 6pm pickup. Our order was ready around 6:10pm and I paid in person. There were no issues with the order and the person I spoke with on the phone (the server name on my ticket says Darius, but I think someone else rung me up) repeated my order back to me for confirmation. I've had mix-ups on takeout orders at different restaurants recently, so I'm glad he did that. Here's what we got: * Brown Stew Chicken ($14.25) - pan-seared chicken slow-cooked in brown gravy with collard greens and steamed rice * Jerk Chicken ($15.25) - grilled chicken marinated in house jerk seasonings with steamed cabbage with vegetable medley and fried plantains * Jerk Pork ($15.50) - grilled pork marinated in house seasonings and topped with country gravy with cream corn and fried plantains * Oxtail Stew ($20.50) - braised oxtail slowly cooked with vegetables and butter beans with callaloo and fried plantains * DG Jamaican Ginger Beer ($2.25 per bottle) Around the table, everyone talked about how delicious their food was. My friend who ordered the Brown Stew Chicken, she's a picky eater and even she said she couldn't stop eating it. It was that good to her. I heard both the Jerk Chicken and Jerk Pork were nice and spicy. Meat portions were generous, especially for my oxtail. I've had oxtail several times in/around Atlanta -- this oxtail from Rodney's was by far the meatiest and heartiest I've tried. I was impressed with how thick and chunky the pieces of meat on the bone were and how tender and flavorful it was too. The stew was rich and savory. I should have ordered some rice for myself to mix in and not let any of the tasty stew go to waste. Based on our reactions, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the above entree selections. All dinner entrees come with a side. I was a little underwhelmed with the fried plantains. They were plain and not very flavorful. I had to dip mine in the oxtail stew to get some flavor on them. The callaloo was outstanding. I highly recommend it. If you've never heard of callaloo before, it's a popular leafy green Caribbean vegetable dish. The version I had from Rodney's contained a little bit of carrot and some (I think) white onion too. I likened it to creamed spinach. Yummy and addictive. The "steamed rice" on the menu is white rice. The prices we paid are generally what you can expect at dinner, though they do have more expensive dishes like Rodney's Surf & Turf ($32.70) and Jerk Lamb Chops ($32.20). You can get many of the same entrees for less at lunchtime, Monday-Friday, 11am-3pm. For example, at lunch, the Brown Stew Chicken is $11.75, Jerk Chicken $12.25, Jerk Pork $12.50, and Oxtail Stew $16.00. And lunch entrees come with two sides too. I'm not sure how much the portions differ. Aside from Jamaican and Caribbean fare, Rodney's also offers vegetarian dishes like Curried Tofu, salads, soups, sandwiches, burgers, and pasta. Soul food comes in the form of sides like black eyed peas, buttermilk mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese. I had a couple friends in Smyrna notice the pictures of the food I posted from this place on Instagram and Twitter. They'd known about this place, but have never been. I'll write here what I said to them -- the food was very good. If you like Jamaican food, I think Rodney's is definitely worth checking out.

So I didn't try anything my complaint is how you open at 11am but , I have to wait 30 min for Pattie's. If I come in the door when you open and have to wait 30 mins for a food item that's a huge problem. So recommendation be ready when customer comes in or change your hours.

I had originally decided on two other places and even sat down before finally coming here. I don't live on this side of town, but someone that used to work here recommended this place. This is definitely a place I would go again. Our server, Dwight, is an excellent server. Apparently, he bartends and cooks too! The menu is big and we couldn't decide on anything. It all looked like tasty dishes. He walked us through the menu and answered our questions. The place is a large open family restaurant. It's perfect for parties and get togethers. In fact, as we were eating, large families gathered to eat. The food was so good, I didn't want to eat all of it and wanted to save a bit for later. Very nice place. I was not disappointed!

The food was amazing prior to 2020. At one point, I would go once a week. I have given them multiple chances over the past few years since they are so close to me and have been disappointed multiple times. There's a woman named Ashley that's always really sweet but the majority of the staff act as if they're being forced to be there and you're bothering them by coming in to order or pick up your food. You're better off going to Jamaica Mi Krazy. Their food tastes better and they give larger portions.

The food was EXCELLENT!!! Between our party of 4, we had Jerk Chicken, Fried Chicken, Chicken tenders and Mac and cheese and the Salmon. The food was EXCELLENT! Our 2 small complaints: 1) our food didn't come out together. One person was almost finished when the 4th got his food. 2) the DJ played a good selection of music, the volume was too loud. We couldn't hear the server let alone each other. Again, the food was EXCELLENT! The conch fritters appetizer was just like the Caribbean.

I ate here for the first time and am so glad to know there's a sit-down, quiet Jamaican restaurant near me! The lead server, Damien, is amazing! So welcoming and charming -- he really is excellent at setting the tone for a wonderful experience. The music is good too, and not too loud. I enjoyed the curry chicken, collard greens, and yam souffle. I was surprised that the curry chicken didn't come with rice. That is the one improvement I would recommend -- quick fix, I hope. Otherwise, this is a warm, easy and very comfortable Jamaican restaurant, and I plan to see them again soon!

I've visited this restaurant on several occasions, and I will go back but the past two times I've been refused seating at around 9:30, if the kitchen closes at that time it should say. I wasn't even allowed to sit at the bar. Food is priced well and tasty, but it's close and that's the main draw. Service is still so important.

I was super excited to try this restaurant but quickly disappointed. I tried the Oxtail lunch ($21) with Yams and Mac and Cheese. The Yams tasted like butter.. that's it. Just butter. The Mac and Cheese tasted like... NOTHING! I'm not use to going to a soul food restaurant and eating Mac and Cheese that was missing the "soul"! The Oxtails tasted like a bland Denty Moore Beef Stew (from the can). There was NO taste of All Spice or Ginger anywhere and it was VERY VERY WATERY!

Doesn't look like much when you walk past, but it was late and I was starving. Once inside, I noticed the bar was packed and people were all smiles having a great time. To the right couples, groups and even people sitting alone were enjoying their food. All good signs to sit down and enjoy some food. Our waitress was very attentive at first but seem to get sidetracked in the back. We noticed her eating in the back. It's either another sign of good food or she was just hungry.. The appetizers we ordered was spot on. I ordered the pepper steak and my significant other had the oxtails. Now for the good part..... DRUMROLLS.... Y'all why did he let me try the oxtails from his plate???Honey the Oxtails left me speechless at first. I wanted his plate and wanted to keep mines. Lol... He tried the pepper steak and it was good but not as good as the Oxtails. Listen if you don't do anything else. Go in and try the oxtails. You will not regret it. Maybe our waitress was in the back eating oxtails too and couldn't come out to check on us.. lol... either way the food was good, the music was good and everyone in the establishment had a smile on their face. I will definitely be back again whenever I'm in town.

My favorite new cuisine all because of tasting this at the Smyrna food festival. Went to the restaurant and tried other items and they were delicious. Very nice restaurant and friendly staff. It looks like it turns into a dance floor in the evening. We had lunch but will check it out again.

Liked ^ Liked ^Liked ^Liked ^Liked ^Liked ^Liked ^Liked ^Liked ^Liked ^ The VIBE was definitely the winner for this one. This place fits family and a date night. It is huge, the DJ picked all the right songs to keep us dancing and having a good time, but also fit the various ages in the building comfortably. They can accommodate very large parties. The owner is floating around and checked in on us. It was good to meet him and get a feel for his energy. He seems to enjoy what he does. Oxtails: these were tasty, but you know I TRAVEL around Atlanta for my oxtails and I have my favorites. I think the texture of these was a little tough for just my preference. Peas and Rice yummy Cabbage Yummy Plaintain Great Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Wings Oxtail texture

I hope the food is as good as their service. At best, less than 30 patrons. I stood by the door waiting for the hostess or server to acknowledge my presence. The busy bartender was the only one who asked if I was dining in or ordering take out. A male customer walked in ten minutes later and a server came to help him. Interestingly enough, she decided to asked if I needed help. If i didn't already pay for my food, I would have walked out. Customer service is the WORST. To top it off, my order didn't exist. I stood waiting for more than 30 minutes. I will never ever go back.

Fake Jamaican food. This crap is so dry with no flavor. The rice and peas is burnt. The container is small and they charge a packing fee for this little bitty a** container that they put your food in. I hate that I came here and that I had to give one star because they didn't deserve any stars. 2,4,5,10 thumbs down for this garage.

Completely disappointed, I was in the area handling a business matter and deduced to stop, and was soo disappointed . Not a proper representation of West Indian food.

The worst experience ever! How do you serve a dried out beef patty to your customer and when they complain your give the excuse that, it's supposed to look like this because it's flaky. No it's not flaky sir, it's dry and cold! No apology no let me get another one. Instead you just retreat into the kitchen. Never again.

I can't find good authentic Jamaican food in Atlanta to save my life! I was told this place was great! *Oxtails- dry and tough & overcooked with no flavor! I had to add seasoning at home. *Rice- standard *Mac & cheese.... Ummmm nothing to rave about! *Jerk chicken- tasted like grilled chicken without the jerk Jamaican flavor! Just spicy and blah. I'm really disappointed and won't return! I even tipped on a To-go order.... Truly a waste of money!

It's just nasty. Grab your hot sauce. I had thee oxtails. I didn't like the sides either. Which was rice and cabbage. I came for the jerk chicken egg rolls also which was sold out. The staff was pleasant though. Only reason I don't mind the one star. Ambience is ok they have nice lighting.
