“ Today was my first time trying this location & let me say I certainly enjoyed every single bite! I was concern when first coming in because there was no one in the place but I saw that they have a buffet line up for the food to give the orders a more quick turn around instead of waiting for a long time for food.I ordered the Rasta Pasta, steamed Cabbage, & Jerk Chicken & it was delicious. The food obviously was made fresh and was nice and hot. The sauce for the jerk chicken has a little kick which I loved and it was very flavorful (They even drizzled some on my pasta). I purchased the mango juice to wash everything down with & it was the perfect combination. You all have a returning customer in me, thank you! I only have a video and google wont let me upload it but the presentation of the food was outstanding as well! Oh yeah, the pricing was very reasonable! I spent less than 20 on my entire food including drink and they wasn’t shy on my portions either!! ”
“ What are you waiting for to order your food? I ordered a veggie plate. My niece ordered oxtails and rice. My food was delicious. Hers looked delicious. Great food, fresh food with a smile and great atmosphere. ”
“ This was my first time, but it definitely won’t be my time!! Everything was delicious and portions was outstanding!! ”
“ My husband got us carry out and it was so good. I has the oxtails and he had the rasta pasta. I also had a side of plantains. Everything was so good and tasty. We will definitely eat here again. ”
“ One of my favorite consistent spots to eat. Delicious food, huge portions seasoned perfectly and the restaurant is so spotlessly clean inside. Everyone working here is so nice. Obsessed with their oxtails and plantains. The fresh made juice is really good as well. :) ”
“ I’m a sucker for good customer service :) I’ve been here several times. I told a friend you could eat off the floor because it was so clean inside which is huge to me. I have enjoyed my meals, but the one thing that took me over the top was their coco bread. If you only try one thing please let it be the coco bread :) no regrets I promise. I got a side of Mac & Cheese and the side is huge and priced real good! Oh, my review wouldn’t be authentic if I didn’t mention that I wasn’t a fan of the Rasta pasta...trust me I really wanted to be, but it was new to me, and my taste buds said no thanks. The pasta and sauce combination were off but I have no clue if it’s suppose to be that way (more pasta than sauce...the flavors didn’t hit for me). Definitely coming back to try more items on the menu!!! ”
“ Irie Jam Souls is hands down the best Jamaican restaurant I’ve been to! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and the rich aroma of authentic island flavors. I ordered the curry goat and oxtails, and both were absolutely phenomenal—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The curry goat had just the right amount of spice, and the oxtails were fall-off-the-bone delicious, paired perfectly with rice and peas. The vibes and the friendly service made the experience even better. If you're craving real Jamaican food, this is the spot! I’ll definitely be back! ”
“ It’s my first time coming here and this food is sooo good. It’s nice to have a good Jamaican restaurant closer to my house so I don’t have to take a 30 minute drive. Great seasoning and perfect spice. Best cabbage I’ve had since I moved back from GA ”
