Irie Jamaican Kitchen - Akron

It's a bit pricey. But the jerk chicken is amazing. The cornbread is amazing!!!!!! I love the people that work here. They are all very nice and eager to help. The jerk chicken with the jerk sauce is just the right amount of heat to give it some kick without over doing it. Highly recommend this place!!!!!So we also decided to try a chicken patty and a beef patty. It's like an empanada. These would be great to eat while you're driving or something. Just try one!!!!

I have ordered from this restaurant several times and the food has always been fantastic, but the recent prices are terrible. I ordered the oxtail box and asked for double oxtails. They said I would need to order a side to get double, so I did. I ended up receiving a total of 4 small oxtails, plantains, white rice, beans, and an extra side of plantains for $43. The oxtails were very small, about the size of a half dollar. The quantity of food you get for the cost, especially for the oxtails, just makes it impossible for me to return. Other recent reviews echo the same sentiment about the decrease in portion sizes and increase in prices over the last few months. Unfortunately, I don't see this restaurant staying open for much longer if they continue with these changes.

I have visited this restaurant several times and always had a great experience. I had been looking forward to it and decided to make it my birthday dinner this year. However, I was disappointed to find out that they were out of most ingredients and had changed the way ordering works. Unfortunately, you can no longer choose Mac and cheese as a base for your meal. It was frustrating to pay full price for a Mac and cheese bowl only to be told that they were out of all topping options. I recommend asking questions before placing your order to avoid any surprises. I wish I had known they were out of ingredients before they started preparing my meal so I could have gone somewhere else instead.

My wife and I both loved the restaurant's location, decor, and colors, and we will definitely be returning. My vegetarian wife had no trouble finding something to eat and also had enough for lunch the next day. The restaurant is kid-friendly and provides a safe environment for families.

This is the best food and most fun I have had in a while…Dee was so kind to share what the different foods and spice levels were and made sure we felt at home. My daughter got the Mac and cheese unreal. I got the jerk chicken, while it is spicy, it is worth it!!! 10/10! Love this place!
