I have always wanted to try this place and I finally got the opportunity to do so. I have never had oxtail before and several people have told me to try it from here. I decided to order the jerk chicken with oxtail rice and peas, plantains and cabbage. I placed my order online, which was very convenient. When I walked in to pick up my food, I was nicely greeted and was able to get my food right away. The place is small carry out only. They also had beef patties on display something I did not see on the online menu so I ordered a couple of those. When I made it back home, my food was hot still and the food was very good along with the beef patties. So much flavor it made me feel like I was back in Jamaica. I can't wait to come back again!!

Ordered a small jerk oxtails. The gentleman who took my order was VERY soft spoken, and competing with the tv & music playing in back. I believe i heard beans & rice, plantain & cabbage were the sides. Once paid, card costs more than cash ($18.01), i was told 15min. Received my order in less than 15 min. The oxtails are so tender, you can pull the meat off with a flimsly plastic fork. The jerk spice isn't spicy but my lips were slightly tingly. The cabbage is tangy & good. Tiny amount of plantains were DELICIOUS. (3 slices). The rice has a flavor im having difficulty describing but i enjoyed eating it. Next time, & there Will be a next time, ill order a large And a side of plantains.

Our business catered an office lunch from The Jamaican Pot and the food was outstanding! The jerk chicken and oxtail was very good - tender with great spices. And the plantains were amazing. We'll definitely cater from The Jamaican Pot again - so good!

I finally made it back for a full meal after sampling the jerk and curry chicken meals. I ordered the small serving (not the sample sized) of curry chicken. My son requested the jerk chicken. When I say the food is on point, I wouldn't even hold you up on deception. My son was upset that I didn't order the size medium for him. He stands 6'5" and weighs 275 so of course he wanted more. Unfortunately, all takeout restaurants are pricy, but I say if you're going to dine out, make it worth every cent of your money. The Jamaican Pot is consistent with their recipes. The customer service could use some work. Not because of rudeness. Just to service the hungry customers faster. Do yourself a favor of ordering online ahead of time. This restaurant tends to have a 30 minute wait for pickup orders due to the high volume of orders. I will return next month to try the oxtails!

Some of the best Jamaican food I've ever had. I'm constantly craving the jerk chicken from here and I wish I lived closer so I could come here more often. The seasonings are always on point and the heat level is perfect. The medium portion of jerk chicken is enough to feed two people and still have leftovers afterwards! My only complaint is that the wait time is never accurate. We always show up 10-15 minutes after our order is supposed to be ready and usually end up having to wait longer for our order. The food is definitely worth the wait, I just hope they can improve their process.

All the food website has this place listed as a top 5 Jamaican spot in Detroit so I try it out. I never had Jamaican food before but the chicken taste very good, chicken is marinated pretty well. The ratings are not wrong. Triple delight you can try 3 types of chicken in your plate. Price can be cheaper but I am still thinking about 2020 prices. Beef patties are great too, they are not greasy. Too bad they never have chicken patties every time I walk in. I don't have a problem with service or food portion so far ( I do tip like $1, $2 ) every time so maybe why .
