I frequent here often because I love Jamaican food and Mr Rowe's hospitality and winning smile is second to none. I ordered food here for corporate events and I stop by for lunch (ox tails, fried fish, sorrell). Everything arrives hot, well prepared, and on time. I once, asked that they do not add onions to the macaroni and cheese, that request was greeted with a smile. And delivery is free.
Mac and cheese is creamy and cheesey like grandma's seriously Kraft Foods should take notes from Mr.Rowe. I order mac and cheese for each holiday meal and for social events for my son's Boy Scout Troop dinners and its always a hit. The mini beef patties and chicken patties are light, flakey, and seasoned with Caribbean spice and everything nice.
The five star rating is that Mr. Rowe goes the extra mile. You can actually hear his smile thru the phone. He promptly returns phone calls, answers emails, and sometimes deliver the food himself, he gets the whole great customer service model… spending your hard earned money should be a worth while experience…can we go for pleasurable ? You will not go wrong by allowing Rowe's Restaurant to cater your next event or maybe just some lunch.
Oh and beware the ox tails are tender, lean, and highly addictive.
Last word.
$5.00 lunch specials.
Sorrell please get the sorrell.
Local, neighborhood, gem. If you like Jamaican food, you should really try Rowe's. You may bump into the owner, he is really nice and welcoming.
It's almost like a large family kitchen placed in a restaurant – that is how homemade the food is. Plus, the food is very affordable, you get huge portions, they accept credit cards AND deliver.
I LOVE the shrimp roti or the veggie roti. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because you never know if they are able to make the roti dishes. It all depends on if the cook is available, etc…since it has to be cooked fresh and takes about 15 minutes.
Also, sometimes they run out of ingredients or dishes (because it's a local fave).
It's a double edged sword though, because I really appreciate the fact that it is local and family-run.
Favorites: Veggie Patty, Shrimp or Vegi Roti [My spouse loves the jerk chicken w/ plantains – he gets it extra spicy].
Great for lunch. Food is always fresh. They tend to run out of options later in the evenings. Best time is lunch time. They have smaller lunch size portions and specials. I could eat rice with gravy, mac & cheese and salad and be full. Sometimes I get the veggie patties as well.
Grab and go kinda of place.
Rowe's recently opened up a branch of their restaurant on Fulton Street and I've been there 2-3 times since. I'd give them an average rating, but it is much better than the last Jamaican Restaurant that was in the space previously. The counter girl is also much nicer this time around. I order the curry goat each time, and it varies from THE BUSINESS to just meh. The last time I ordered it, it tasted a bit overcooked and there wasn't enough gravy. They probably switch chefs, and I need to find out who the better one is and only go in there when he is working. All in all, it's close to my crib so I will most likely be back.
Yes! I love their soy chunks with red beans and rice. So good! It's a great vegetarian meal when you're stuck inside and don't want to order pizza again.
I also got their lemon ginger juice, which is so fantastic, I was feeling a bit ill and it cleared me right up. The carrot cake is pretty decent too, but it's more like carrot bread – didn't know that before.
I like how close it is to my apt and the quality of the food, thanks again.
