Irie Vibes Jamaican Restaurant

I will start with pros first. The service was extremely good. The lady behind counter was very nice, pleasant and helpful. My food, after I ordered, came out very quick. I ordered the brown stew chicken with rice and peas along with a side of mac and cheese. I will say I consider myself expert of Jamaican cuisine. I paid $18.00 for a large meal. It wasn't what I expected. The gravy was of a light brown to yellow color. The consistency and the taste was way off. I tasted hints of viniger and strong notes of garlic in the gravy. The chicken portions consisted of back a leg and another unfamiliar chicken part. The rice and peas was ok. As the Mac and cheese as well. For the price the meal I just expected more. I give Irie Vibes a 4 out 10 rating.

Friday last week June 25 I ordered curry chicken rice peas and cabbage with jerk chicken rice peas and cabbage and the food looked good but the jerk chicken gravy was like Louisiana burned charcoal gravy salty and not jerk chicken I’ve ever eaten and the rice and peas tasted like water literally on both platters ……I immediately called and folds I would be able to get two dinners at s later date by the young supposedly manager ……… so today it’s Saturday July 2 I called politely told them who I was a young lady says hold on I didn’t speak with you ….. she came back and said again hold on ….. the young man came to the phone remembering me and telling me “I can get the rice for free and pay for chicken and cabbage two free drinks etc …..no I’m not paying for nothing after being promised two meals’ …..he then said no mind you can get both after I reminded him of our conversation….you run a business I am a consumer I’m spending my monies and Jamaican food is suppose to be authentically good!

I just order oxtails, rice , & Mac and cheese I love the oxtails and rice the Mac and cheese could be better but it was good !! I I’ll definitely come back if I crave it again 8.5 out of 10 is my rating
