The restaurant experience wasn’t welcoming. Upon arrival, we weren’t acknowledged immediately and waited about 15-20 min for our order to be taken. There wasn’t a published displaying prices so we relied totally on the server. We ordered oxtails, white rice (server went into back/kitchen area to get some cold rice and warmed it in microwave) and steam veggies all of which tasted horrible. The oxtails wasn’t seasoned properly and overall wasn’t worth the price of $22. We ordered Escovitch fish, rice, collard greens and steam veggies. The fish portion was very small and extremely dry, the rice and peas were over cooked and lacked coconut milk and the overall authenticity of Jamaican flavored food. The jerk chicken was oven baked and also lacked true Jamaican jerk seasoning and flavor.

I would rate it as a zero if I could. Horrible experience picking up. Some old lady with little g black hair was at front. I greeted her and she just had this nasty look and said nothing. I asked again for my order and she kept ignoring me. If you don’t like working with customers then find another job. Definitely not coming back. Also, place looks dirty .

Ordered two large oxtail plates. I have to say it’s the worst I’ve ever had. There was no flavor and it actually upset my stomach to the point where I threw it up. It was so bad. And I feel like my money went down the drain. I don’t recommend this place. The food is so bad. And I’m so disappointed.

I ate here with my friend 3 yrs ago from this date but it was Memorial Day. The food was actually delicious because we came here with a guy we met in a park. He brought us here because the event we were all at turned out to be boring and not what we expected.

I love everything about Elma’s. The food is so delicious, flavor on top of flavor without being salty.

Food always good. Service can long only because people order a lot. I’m also very guilty of this. This is where I go on weekends, dates and just before drinking heavy.

I normally eat at a restaurant a few times before giving a rating but the food was so good and seasoned perfectly I just had to let people know. I have had take out from many Jamaican restaurants and the amount of time to get served is shockingly the same across the board so I have no complaints about the service. I had the oxtails and although I feel a few more pieces would have been nice, I was very satisfied with the amount I received. I will be trying the curry goat next.

AMAZING FOOD!!! I am visiting from out of town and ordered hoping that it would be good, and it was amazing! Not too salty, and not fatty at all. Plantains cooked perfectly too, and delivery was fast. Big thank you to the Elma’s staff.
