I think I’ve finally found a carribean spot with consistency! A few weeks ago, I went and got an oxtail plate with a side of Mac and cheese. DELICIOUS! This week, I returned and got a jerk chicken lunch plate, a beef patty and a slice of coconut pound cake…OMG, DELICIOUS!!! They have since moved location, but it’s still within the same vicinity as their previous location. If familiar with the area, it’s now the old Sonic restaurant on Riverside Pkwy. Anyway, they make me feel welcome there, they are very nice. Food portions are plentiful and prices are reasonable. Please keep the cooks you have because I just love the food Wishing you all much success!

I loved everything! I wish it were bigger but as far as the food and service!! 5 stars!! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted right away, everyone was pleasant and eager to assist! I must have been there 5 minutes when people began to arrive! Next thing I knew, the place was packed!!! I quickly learned they had a previous location in the same plaza so it seemed to be some amazing customers from that location! It was a vibe! I ordered the lunch jerk chicken and let me say, all that food for $8.99 ?!?! Yes please! I added on Mac and cheese and a beef pattie! Everything was seasoned to perfection and I just remember saying, I will drive 25 minutes for this!!!! If you’re ever near 85, the Riverside exit, stop by!!! You’ll be so glad you did!!! Oh and the fruit punch!!! I need it by the GALLON!!! 10/10!!!

First time and it was ok. The mac was underwhelming, firm noodles in a watery sauce. The jerk chicken was spiced perfectly. Rice and peas paired well with plaintains. The cabbage was a disappointment. I was expecting soft cabbage not crunchy coleslaw with mustard. Overall you get plenty of food for your money worth a try.

Everything from the food and the service at Ovations are GREAT! I We drove an hour to get there and had no regrets. We tried the stew chicken, jerk ribs, rice and peas, jerk chicken, coco bread and mac and cheese and they all tasted amazing. I also recommend their natural melon juice. Definitely the the best Jamaican restaurant in GA.

Been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. The food is absolutely delicious! We tried the jerk chicken meal, the jerk rib meal, beef patties with coco bread, and the bread pudding. The portions are pretty big and is more like 2 meals for me. The food is seasoned very well. It was spicy and very tasty. This restaurant is very close to my house and I will definitely be back. The people working were so sweet and friendly.

Can’t say enough about food and the experience!!!! This was our first time here and I will definitely be returning. The food was soooooo good and the service was amazing. The lady was so sweet and kind to my grandson. They type of service you get here is rare and it shows with the customers the way they all interacted with each other it was as they were all family even the customers were raving about the food helping us pick the perfect meal. I had the jerk ribs which were seasoned perfectly and super tender, the rice was bomb, and the cabbage and plantains were out of this world. My daughter had curry chicken and it was probably the best I have had in a very long time. Wish we would of grab a picture but we were just truly enjoying the experience!
