I purchased food yesterday for lunch. I was tired of eating in the cafeteria of my office. I looked up this local gem and ohhhh boy it did not disappoint. I am from Brooklyn and I too am Jamaican so I know a good hand. I ordered the oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage. The food was so darn good and the portions are so big!!! Loved it!! It was so good I went back for the BBQ jerk chicken and a side Mac and cheese!!!!!!!! Y’all gotta give them a try. I don’t even live in Trenton and will drive this 40 minute drive for this when I am not at work! It was good!

I have heard about Hummingbird for a while from coworkers. They continually tell me to go try it because they have good Jamaican food. I finally dropped by while in Trenton on business. I come into the place and the Reggie was playing( not blasting so loudly that I had to shout my order…some places need to take note)it didn’t seem forced or fake like the atmosphere in a some restaurants. I ordered a large oxtail dinner with cabbage, rice and peas and I got a side of plantains. The “Chadwick Boseman look alike” behind the counter insisted I get the medium dinner. Who am I to disagree with the Black Panther? The medium was a lot of food. Prince T’Challa was correct, I would not have been able to eat anymore than the medium. The oxtail were very good. It’s a dish that I only recently had for the first time at The Big Easy, also in Trenton New Jersey. The cabbage was really good. I’ve had Jamaican style cabbage twice and it taste like it was made differently both times and was delicious both times. I didn’t enjoy the plantains, I like sweet plantains. These were good but I prefer the sweet ones. All in all. It was a good meal, the price was not as expensive as other Jamaican food in the area, the amount of food was plentiful. I recommend Hummingbird to anyone wanting to enjoy Jamaican food without taking out a payday loan.

I recently visited for a taste of Jamaican cuisine, hoping for an authentic and flavorful experience. Unfortunately, the reality fell far short of my expectations

I love this place. I get the jerk chicken, white rice, and cabbage and it’s consistently the best thing I eat all week. The chicken has a crisp light char and flakes off the bone, the sauce is fragrant with allspice and peppers, the cabbage is sweet and tender. I get the small and the portion is huge and the price is right. Call ahead about 15 minutes and the order is ready when you get there. Amazing.

The large Curry Chicken was some of the best I’ve had outside of someone’s personal kitchen. Also the portion was healthy and wasn’t overpriced.

The food was great and the staff was very friendly. I had the salmon salad with jerk sauce on the side (omg). That sauce was so good, I asked for another My Bestie had jerk salmon, peas and rice, cabbage and mac & cheese. It’s best to call the order in FIRST! It took a while to get the food…BUT IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!

Food was tasty, and the portions were generous. The only complaint was the dining room. Very hot and humid. No AC. Only ceiling fans.
