Was Sheila Barenco at Cool Runnings a mag?
Food got 4 stars because I only tried the jerk chicken so far. They move fast for the crowd that they had when I came in the restaurant. The man serving my food was very pleasant and the man cashing out customers was very pleasant. We drove down from CT. Late night. And we weren’t disappointed. Oh and I had to ask if the price was right 2times because the total was Low it was right ? View all feedback.
What Barbraa Neverson dislikes about Cool Runnings:
I ordered the stew peas with oxtails, along with rice and peas and cabbage. Unfortunately, the stew peas and oxtails were not enjoyable. I also did not care for the cabbage. The only good thing was the rice and peas. View all feedback.
Delicious and must stop if in town! Came here on a Sunday evening for a quick dinner! The food was fresh and delicious, probably the best rice and peas I’ve ever had! The chilli salmon was a little dry but it was tasty none the less. We also got the ital stew and chilli fried shrimp which were equally yummy! There was a bit of a wait which is surprising as everything was already made. Yummy regardless and we will be back for more!
Best oxtails on the planet and try the white rice next time you’re here, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is all about acceptable spice and great flavor. Guess what, they’re open 24 hours!
The food here is great, my go to place to have a great Jamaican meal. Nuh miss yaad when yuh eat Dem food.
The professionalism and organization were incredibly disappointing. I ordered delivery and live just 5 minutes away, but it took nearly 2 hours to receive my order of stew chicken. When I called to inquire about the status, I was met with attitude and misinformation regarding my order. The food itself was only average. Overall, the experience was terrible. I won't be coming back!
Worst place to come if you are expecting a moderate to fast customer service. Sometimes, I feel these people don’t care about the line. They move slow, talk and don’t act like it is a business. Plus, the food is not as good it used to be.
