Ordered jerk chicken and the place literally just opened and the chicken was dry and was not grilled but baked with jerk sauce. The rice and peas was flavorless as well No reason to serve old food. I expected fresh food since it had just opened for the day. Totally disappointed

I had the curried chicken for dinner one night, and it was so good I came back the very next day for lunch. That should tell you everything, but let me paint the picture. When I walked up to the counter, Mama B herself was there. She’s warm, friendly, and has the kind of presence that makes you feel like you’re in her home kitchen rather than a restaurant. I didn’t even bother looking at the menu - I just told her the things I wanted, and she built me a box of pure magic. Inside: tender beef oxtail dripping with rich brown gravy, perfectly cooked rice and peas, cabbage and veggies, plus jerk chicken that packed spice, smoke, and soul in every bite. The flavors were bold, fragrant, and layered - the kind of food you can’t rush because it’s made with love and patience. The curried chicken from the night before was unforgettable - tender meat in a sauce that was both comforting and vibrant, the spice warming without overwhelming. The oxtail? Fall-off-the-bone tender, with gravy so good I wanted to drink it. And the jerk chicken? Smoky, spicy, sweet, and completely addictive. You can tell Mama B cooks with her heart, and it shows in every bite. If you’re craving a true taste of the Caribbean, don’t overthink it - go to Mama B’s and order a variety of things. You won’t be disappointed. I can’t imagine there’s a single thing on the menu that isn’t bursting with flavor. Next time, I’m trying her “Rasta Pasta” with jerk chicken on top. If it’s even half as good as everything else I’ve had, I may never eat anywhere else in Rochester again.
