Ruby's Jamaican Kitchen - Alexandria

This place is the best. They're so nice in there and the food is the best Jamaican in the DMV, easy. Got the curry goat, rice and peas, cabbage and plantains and they were all hits. Wife got two beef patties and a side of rice, also wildly good. Def hit this place up!

Outstanding food! Spotless interior and friendly service. Rolled in here at 10:30am on a Saturday and they were already getting slammed with phone orders and the kitchen crew were hustling with a catering order. I wanted to try the jerk chicken wings and Jamaican beef patties, but they had just gone in the oven and wouldn?t be ready for 20 minutes, so I opted for the oxtails, collards, and mac cheese. The meat was tender and just right; not overcooked or undercooked. The

We came here on a Saturday early afternoon, and the waiting line was still long. The food was very delicious and affordable, and the portion was pretty large. Customers could choose their own side dishes, and all of them were pretty good as well (e.g., mac and cheese, fried plantains, collard green, cabbage, rice and beans). The Jamaican national dish, Ackee saltfish, was also very delicious. Highly recommended!!

Ordered the Escovitch Snapper...First the fish was not done in the inside..(pink and slimy...I took it back and asked for the fish to be fried hard to ensure it was done...apparently, that meant burnt to them!!! Fish had absolutely no seasoning and burnt!!! Will not be back.

This place is awesome and their food is amazing. High quality Jamaican food that tastes great. The curry chicken, collard greens, and cabbage are really good, and the staff are professional and courteous. I'll definitely keep coming back.
