Queens food used to have Jamaican flavors now it’s just plain like they forgot to add the spices. This is my second time this month and both times the food tasted plain.
Called over a hour ago was rushed off the phone work truck broke down called my niece to go pick my food up and once she got there 30 minutes or so later she was given a number and told to wait and that they did not have me down for a drink just the food. Food is good but the service is awful and unprofessional. Had I known I would not have asked her to pick my lunch up for me I would have went somewhere else for my jamaican food
I’ve never had jerk chicken that was dry and hard and doesn’t have the taste of jerk. Hadn’t been there since 2019 and I see I haven’t missed anything . Worst experience in food ever
This was my first experience at Queen's. As the other reviews mention, don't bother calling about anything because they don't answer the phone. If they answered the phone, I would have known before I drove 20 minutes that they were out of plantain, and mac and cheese, and rum cake. But, hey, not the end of the world. The flavor of my rice and beans was very good, and the cabbage was on point. The flavor of the brown stew chicken was very good too. However, I have eaten Jamaican food all over the US and in Jamaica, and I have never ever gotten brown stew chicken that was just dry pieces of chicken on rice with NO GRAVY. I mean, there was not a drop of gravy on that chicken and rice! I was stunned! Good thing it was flavorful. The beef patties were mediocre. And the biggest fail was that after they didn't have rum cake, I settled on chocolate...then the girl forgot it!!! I live 20 minutes away, and had stopped at the store before I got home and discovered it was missing. I would have called to tell them and ask them to credit me, but- that's right, they don't answer the phone.
I am not a fan sadly and will be returning to my usual Jamaican spot. All of the food is just so dry..the beef patty, rice, chicken, cabbage. It’s just not giving what it needed too. I truly have never had such a dry and tasteless beef patty until going here. Portions are not that great in size. I ordered the large in the photo. However, the rice and beans are really good and flavorful. That’s the only thing with flavor.
Okay I'll preface by saying the food was very very very tasty. For the small meal goat curry and a Snapple was it was 17.92 Which is insanely expensive. I had also had a small curly hair which isn't a big deal because these things happen I would recommend it maybe once but I don't plan on coming back.
The food was excellent, I'm very picky about where I eat at. I'm bajan and a friend said the food here was really good. So since I was in Richmond for some shopping with my daughterand granddaughter, we decided to try it out. We were not disappointed. My granddaughter got a side of mac and cheese and I tasted it. It was so good and so was my curry goat dinner. My daughter loved her food and my granddaughter. I will be stopping here again when I'm in Richmond. Spicy and delicious and plenty of food
We got robbed. Ordered a large oxtail thinking it was going to be a lot of food. Barley any meat! $18 for a large and there was very little meat. I basically paid for rice and cabbage. I noticed everyone was ordering kids meals. I thought I was doing something by ordering a large and contributing to a small business. I spent $51 altogether. I was robbed. Only reason I gave two stars is because the oxtails are seasoned well, or else I would have given 1 star. I’m happy to support local business but if I’m a spend big money I want what I paid for. You have to wait a long time for the food, however If I had received a large portion of food I’m happy to wait for quality I would have given 5 stars.
