Jamrock Island Cove Inc - Newark

I tried this restaurant for the first time and the food was amazing. I ordered the large snapper fish with cabbage, rice, and peas. It was absolutely delicious.

The oxtails and beef stew is amazing!! The best I?ve had in years!!! Had delivered staff was great and helpful food was hot, big portions and amazing flavor! Keep it up guys!!!

I am very disappointed with my experience ordering stew peas at this restaurant. The peas were extremely salty and the rice was undercooked, with a hard texture that I could taste in my mouth. I will not be returning here again.

I recently visited Jamrock Island Cove for lunch and ordered the medium Jerk Pork with Rice and Peas and Collard Greens, with a Beef Patty on the side. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the Jerk Pork was, as I had never tried it before. The pork was tender with a great flavor and the Rice and Peas were also tasty. However, the standout for me was the Collard Greens, which were absolutely amazing. Although I usually order the Oxtail Dinner with cabbage, I decided to try something new and was not disappointed. Unfortunately, the Beef Patty was a bit of a letdown as it lacked in beef filling and had too much dough. Despite this, I still love Jamrock and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Jamaican food in the Newark area.

The whiting sandwich was horrible!!! Dry overcooked small for $8?!!!! The rice and peas were good. Stew chicken lacks flavor and tenderness and definitely is not ?Jamaican ?? I never even received any plantains????? fried chicken was nasty more flour thananything lacking flavor. Cabbage is ok but could be softer. Candied yams is a joke! Dry bland yams without a glaze?! Mac mcheese is too oil. Greens , no comment. We won?t be ordering anything else from here.
