Jammin Cafe 1 - Villa Rica

I have no clue how this place has high ratings which is what prompted us to stop by as we passed by. As a Jamaican, the food was beyond disappointing. The curry chicken was dry. They use cheap parboiled rice for the rice and peas… couldn’t even taste the coconut milk. My son didn’t even finish his oxtail, said it need seasonin…2 simple dishes… as for the interior of the place… fix it up so it can be at least inviting for customers wishing to sit and eat. We don’t want to stare and a dirty and empty fish tank while we dine! Clean up the place! First and last time dining there, especially for the amount of money each meal costs… truly disappointing.

Unfortunately I ended up with food poisoning. Got the red snapper

Grabbed lunch and dipped. I’ve been wanting to try this spot for a while but had no idea what to order, so I got my bf to call in something for me and I picked it up on my lunch break. It was fire. ? I eat mostly vegetarian, so next time I’ll know better what to order, but I had cabbage and plantains and rice and chicken. The chicken was good, I could just do without it.

Tucked away next to a filling station, you'd never expect to find such authentic and flavorful Jamaican cuisine. The menu offers a wide range of options from Curry and Jerk chicken to braised goat and oxtails. Seafood lovers will enjoy the shrimp and snapper, while vegetarians have a few delicious choices as well. The sides are equally compelling—plantains, cabbage, rice beans, and potatoes are all a must-try.However, there is room for improvement when it comes to poultry preparation. The chicken tends to have sharp, splintered bones, which detracts from the overall dining experience. While some might attribute this to cultural differences, it's worth noting that this isn't a common practice in rural Jamaica.Overall, a fantastic culinary gem in the ex-burbs of Carroll County that's well worth a visit. Just be cautious when enjoying the chicken dishes.

This is a go to place if you're looking for authentic Jamaican food. Not mommas but pretty close! Had the large jerk chicken plate and just about not able to eat it all. Flavor was what I expected. Looking forward to going back to try the curry goat and oxe tail.
