Reviews for Country Life Jerk in Queens, NY
Best escovitch snapper I have ever had ( and I have had many). Fish was juicy, just the right amount of seasoning and spiciness.... Had it with roasted breadfruit, fried bammy and sweet plantains. The owners, Bobby and Karen make you feel welcome. Not as wellknown or glitzy as overrated The Door and others, but definitely worth the trip or call. Read more
This would be an absolute no for me again. Went here today and ordered some Jerk Chicken and Rice, Long story short the chicken... was extremely dry then I realized they had reheated it in the microwave. I waited about 15 minutes for my food even after shehad already made a bowl with rice and veggies. She took about 10 minutes in the back reheating the chicken. I don?t know howthis place has 4 1/2 stars. Would not recommend at all. Read more
Stop by to get some good cooking. Great place and awesome people.
Kind and friendly service. The food tastes like someone?s mom made it?because she did! Some of the best roti and curry chicken... I?ve had in ages. As other reviews said, the jerk chicken isn?t too spicy, but with the rice and peas it?s a great meal withlots of flavor that continues to build on your tongue. Read more
Jerk chicken was delicious (more spicy please though!) and the bbq chicken was really really good. The rice and peas were good... too and the cabbage. Please more plantain next time I was sad to have just 1 piece :( friendly staff, cool vibe, good music.Great local spot, have a visit if you can. Read more
Ordered a couple oxtail meals. Received 6 pieces of oxtail in the large one in which 3 of 6 pieces was very small. To make... things worst I paid almost $35 for ALL fat. It was my first time ordering and it will be my last. Customers should be able togive 0 stars. Update: Just tried the food and it's extremely disappointing. The only thing delectable was the plantain. Therice tastes stale and the oxtail is all fat and no flavor. Cabbage was ok. Read more
Had the jerk chicken and festival. And it was delicious. The only thing I'd change is the amount of sugar that's added to the... festival, or better yet, they should use powdered sugar - as I've seen used in other restaurants. The sugar crystals tend tocrystallize which made their festival too crunchy and hard after a while. Delicious, but just a suggestion. Read more
Everytime I come I get a small amount of meat BUT when a MALE in my family gets food for us they get MORE. Such a shame cause I... live so close by and walk by every single day.. for 16.70 for a small order and to add 1 n half so I was only going to get 2oxtail...I had to pay Extra for ONE OXTAIL AND A HALF. Why is this? Also when asking to pay for more then the one n half oxtailthey told me NO cause another customer already called meanwhile there was about 2 oxtail left in the tray behind the glass.never again will I buy from here bttomw right of photo is NOT AN OXTAIL.
