What customers say?

“ First of all, I am a serious critic when it comes to buffet and any place that sells oxtails. This place is super clean. They make sure you use the hand sanitizer and a gloves before serving yourself. The food is sooooo good and FRESH! OK! When I go into a self serve buffet, I always check out what the food looks like If it's dryed out like its been sitting for sometime. I did NOT have that experience. Food was fresh! Let me tell you... the oxtails... AMAZING... fell right off the bone as if I cooked them myself! I also had the mac and cheese... which I was skeptical about but BABYYY...That Mac and Cheese is PACKED with cheese and flavor...you can literally eat it with anything they serve and its a good combo! the yams... delish... they are just the right amount of syrupy sweet... the curry chicken ... outstanding! Needless to say my neice and I got another plate to go for later. Oh, we can't forget the cake...I tried the pineapple coconut cake... I generally dont like coconut cake or buying pre sliced cakes because the cakes arent usually fresh...but the cake looked so good I couldn't resist. The cake was amazing... sooo good and fresh! Just the right amount of sweetness... I will be going back for more. Price wise... It's a buffet so the price is based on how much food you take and obviously some things cost a little bit more. Frankly, it was worth the $30 plus dollars I spent because I loaded my plate up atr everything on it and then took one to go! I honestly LOVE a good black owned soul food spot where the food is BUSSIN and the place is clean. The staff is super duper friendly too!! I will be back for sure!!! ”

“ I love this spot, I’ve been coming here for years. This is the only Jamaican restaurant that I will eat from. It is extremely clean and they are very strict when it comes to cleanliness and I love that. You are required to sanitize your hands and wear gloves that they provide before touching any of the utensils. The food is always excellent and it’s been consistent throughout the years. The customer service has improved ALOT and I was glad to see that on my last visit. I highly recommend. ”

“ I love a buffet I can hit the lottery and still want to go to a buffet the next day. Everytime I return to New York I make it my business to come here sometime during the week to get a plate of food. The food is excellent---the jerk is jerking, the mac & cheese is cheesing, and the oxtails are falling off the bone. Are the staff the nicest? Ehhhhhhhnnn I feel like a real authentic jamaican/carribean spot it's expected for the staff to be spicy. To be quite frank if the staff is not as spicy as my food I don't want it. That's just me. From what I understand they have recently changed the pricing so I know people are pissed off about that. ”

“ Hunter's formerly Smokey Island Grill is my favorite spot this side of town for Caribbean food! Let me correct that, amazing Caribbean food! WHAT I LIKE is you control your price because it's charged by the weight. WHAT I LOVE is the amazing service I receive here! At first my girl was Terri. I haven't seen her for a while and Olda became my number one lady! I have a fave dish here, the pigtail soup (as I call it) but sometimes I get there late and miss the pots:-( Olda, realizing how much I enjoy this dish told me to call her whenever I'm coming and she'll put some away for me! This arrangement has been working so well and I appreciLOVE her so much for going the extra mile. Besides that she's always bubbly and helpful and customers just adore her sweet personality. All other staff is super helpful and whenever I'm here it's like meeting up with good friends. My relationship with Hunter's is beddah than yours! (Just saying HahaJaja) The End ”
