“ I have been looking for Mac and Cheese in this area for DAYS!!! So many places have disappointed me but this plate actually had SOUL. A medium plate of jerk chicken, rice and collard greens cost me about $18, but you can tell by the long lines that the food is worth it. The pair are patient and friendly. Support your local black owned businesses! 10/10 will have again. ”

“ This is a large plate. I don’t usually leave reviews but the food was FIRE! Portions are huge! Definitely worth the money! Oxtail fell off the bone and everything else was perfect! ”

“ I ordered from this restaurant today on door dash. I was a little apprehensive because I had never ordered here before. A lot of times with Jamaican restaurants, it's a hit-or-miss. I can tell you now, I don't regret ordering. I got oxtail's, with rice and peas and cabbage . It was delicious. Very authentic. They weren't skimpy about giving a good portion of oxtails. I highly recommend this restaurant. ”

“ I ordered the large oxtail with rice and beans. It was really good and portion was huge for the price. Definitely a hidden gem. ”

“ The other day I got Jamrock Island Cove for lunch. I ordered their medium Jerk Pork w/ Rice and Peas & Collard Greens, with a Beef Patty as the side. First of all I didn’t even know Jerked Pork was a thing lol. It was absolutely phenomenal. It had great flavor, the pork was very tender, and had an excellent meat to fat ratio. The Rice and Peas were pretty good as well too. The best, for me though, were the Collard Greens! Usually I get their Oxtail Dinner (Which is AMAZING btw) with the cabbage. But wanted to try something different. Man were those collard greens on point! The Beef Patty on the other hand was absolutely lacking. Barely tasted the beef and there was a lot more dough than filling. But at least the dough was fresh! All in all I absolutely love Jamrock. Their food is always great, just a little disappointed in the beef patty. I would absolutely recommend Jamrock to anyone looking for some good Jamaican food in the Newark area! ”

“ Wow their food is dangerously good and rich with flavor! I had to stop myself from finishing the entire bowl. They provide huge portions. I ordered via Ubereats and I live about 10 minutes away. It was delivered very quickly. The only thing I think they can improve on is ensuring that the food is very hot for delivery. The oxtails were perfectly hot but the rice was lukewarm. I still enjoyed it thoroughly and will be ordering from them more often. ”
