Feeding Tree
“Those two dishes overall were great as the food is very filling and good value, especially when compared to stadium food.”
“I couldn't decide between the oxtail and the curried goat, so the woman suggested I do both with a combo.”
“this is the kind of place you could easily walk by and ignore, but that would be a huge mistake.”

Great service, affordable, big portions and great taste.
I went in for lunch and got the lunch special with stew chicken, rice and peas and macaroni and cheese. It came with a little blueberry cake and lemonade.
Delicious Jamaican food, decent prices, and friendly staff. Not much more to say. Thanks guys. I'm glad I was able to enjoy quality food before the Yankees game.
My buddies and I were looking for some food before a Yankees game. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I'm glad that we did. I got a small jerk chicken combo. The combos come with two sides; I got rice and beans and candied yams. The yams weren't as sweet as I thought they would be, which isn't necessarily a bad thing; just know that they're not very candy-like. The jerk chicken had great flavor and the sauce was awesome for mixing with the rice. I'm not a regular to NY, but I'll make a point to visit if I'm back in the area.
Damn I forgot how good Jerk Chicken was. Meaty chunks of spicy goodness along with a drumstick. The rice was so very good, too. The small was a generous portion. Highly recommended.
In terms of oxtail stew, this place is top notch. The meat is unbelievable tender and the sauce is just damn good. They serve it over rice & peas a heaping mound of rice and peas, which absorbs the liquid and takes it to the next level. The only thing I regret is not getting a large order!
It's in a pretty good spot, about a block away from the Yankees Stadium. And in all honesty, this is far better food than you can find in the area. I'll definitely be back next time I'm around for a game!
I love the name! Feeding Tree is a wonderful little Jamaican restaurant right around the corner from Yankee Stadium. While it's not the best Jamaican/Caribbean food I've had in town, I certainly don't have anything bad to say about it.
Your usual Jamaican dishes from jerk chicken to beef stew are present, and you have the option of small, medium, or large bowls. For lunch, medium should be more than adequate, and large is better for dinner. Small would be more fitting for a snack or for kids. The meat, rice, and plantain are indeed very tasty, but unfortunately, I wish they would give a slightly larger portion of meat, with less rice. Oh, and the cornbread is pretty darn good, as expected.
You can tell upon initial entry that Feeding Tree has been around for awhile, with its well worn signage, tables, and counters, and above all, the CRT TV with quite a bit of mileage on it. All of this lends to the character of the place, and should not negatively impact your experience in any way. Surprisingly, the single unisex restroom is extremely tidy. The staff is also polite and welcoming, but not overly chatty.
There was no game going on when I last visited Feeding Tree, so it was relatively slow around 6pm, but I could imagine it being packed to the gills when the Yankees are in town. It is certainly a great option in the area if you are not too keen on getting ripped off by stadium food.
Great spot for a meal before a Yankees game! Literally right around the corner from the stadium yet somehow the Feeding Tree is out of all the chaos – it's a no-frills, quiet spot to eat on a shady side street. We were seated quickly. Service was friendly, prices are inexpensive, and I wanted everything on the menu. We started with a spicy beef patty and then we ordered the goat curry and the jerk chicken. Both meats were tender and delicious, served with huge piles of rice and cabbage. In and out in about 45 minutes, right in time for some baseball!
Tucked away in a small storefront near the Bronx Supreme Courthouse lies the Feeding Tree. No, it's not much to look at, but, the food is great. The jerk chicken is a must have, it is intensely flavorful, juicy and reminiscent of real Jamaican jerk chicken. The sides it comes with are tasty as well.
The staff is very friendly and nice, and happy to answer any questions.
I've yet to try the oxtail but looking forward to it in the near future!
