My experience was so bad that I had to leave this review before I left the restaurant. I just recently moved from South Florida to the Woodbridge area and Im now trying to find as many restaurants to visit in the area. My family thought it would be a good idea to bring me to a Jamaican restaurant because it was one of my favorites back home in Miami. We entered the restaurant and we showed up with about 15 minutes before closing and the first person we came into contact with was George he had the worst Grimace on his face he did not greet us he did not talk about any specials he did not offer us any ideas on what we could order he didnt ask us if we had been there before or not he did nothing he stood there with the worst Grimace anyone has ever seen. I ordered the brown stew chicken I specifically wanted to order the brown stew chicken with a side of plantains they had no more plantains which was fine but when I wanted to then change my order it seem like it was too much for George or it seem like it upset George I dont know what it was about me but George was not happy I was spending my hard earned money in his establishment. It would be my recommendation that you yourself your family or anybody you know Steer well clear of irie Caribbean restaurant its not going to be a favorable experience.

I have given this place a try over the past 2 years. I used to eat here often because the food was fresh and delicious. As time passed I noticed the food was not as fresh as I was originally served. However, I continued to patronize the business under the impression that maybe the cook had an off day. My last time eating here prior to me going back today was a year ago. I stop going a year ago because after returning the food was no longer fresh and the customer service was lacking. This brings me to my experience today. I was feeling optimistic and hungry. I ordered something simple. I ordered 8 jerk wings. As I recalled the customer service here is non existent. I got home and found 8 tiny, burnt, charred, wings. The chicken was dried out and old. I will not be returning. The bathroom was clean though.

The woman working the register is rude and dry. The food is inconsistent sometimes good and others bone dry overcooked old chicken. Ive been here more than 5 times and each time I wasnt given the plantains or bread that comes with the dinner and I mean each time and when you ask about it they look at you like its not necessary to give those item. Every jerk place gives more than 1 slice of plantain with a dinner but they wont even give you the 1 that they say is supposed to come with the dinner smh. 0 customer service from this joint and thats before and after their shutting down due to lack of paying taxes and reopening. In closing this could be a great spot but needs serious management oversight. Usually businesses start of on the right foot but they opened up like theyre sick of the customers already.

Service sucks! Hours are 10am - 10 pm weekdays. Arrived at 2:58pm and was told I couldnt get the lunch special which ended at 3:00pm. Looked around the empty yet spacious dining area and the only thing they had ready was the side dishes, no main entrees. They prepared the 6 wing jerk pieces with 2 sides then charged me the dinner price. Stingy with the utensils, condiments and napkins. One lady walked out while I was there. This place is the last place to visit for anything!

Ive always avoided going here because it look cheap and tacky. Today I had my first visit and was proven right. I go there not only is the cook on the floor talking to people instead of spin his job but as well the cashier is on the phone with personal matters while taking orders. Not to mention they barely have half their menu. Its not worth the trip or money. Even the bit of food I had from friends who bought from there isnt that good. Dont waste your money here!!

Chicken is moist and delicious. People very friendly. The her I say has a sweet underrone which I love. The portions are nice. Sweet potatoes, greens & red beans & rice are my FAVORITE ! Gotta come when they have fresh mac & cheese. They have large menu and a special menu.... But they never have jerk tacos, jerk Philly.....etc. But other than that this is my jerk spot

UNPROFESSIONAL!! Writing this review while waiting on food we ordered Three hours ago for a party were having tonight that starts in 30 mins!! Too bad no one had enough common sense to call and inform us that our order would be late. Will take business elsewhere in the future.

This place has great food which is very flavorful and good customer service. I order food from here at least once a week. You must try it for yourself.
