Mama J's Caribbean Restaurant

It can take a while to get your food here, but it's pretty darn good food, the kind that sticks to your bones and makes you feel warm. All the classic Jamaican choices are here, and I went with the curry chicken on top of peas and rice, paired with cabbage and a beef patty. Yum! Huge portions too, I had enough for lunch the next day!

Mama Js was awesome! Had the curry chicken. Great service and food was fresh

Food here was the best I've had in Columbia, SC by far! Just recently visited Jamaica and was surprised to taste the same authenticity as served in the country. I plan to recommend this restaurant to friends and family.

Found this place by mistake but a great surprise. The jerk chicken and chicken curry had a lot of flavor. Pretty good beef patties also.

Great taste! Jerk chicken, rice and fried plantain plate was delicious. There was a little confusion when distributing the food to the proper customer based on order and short staffed. However all the staff was respectful, courteous and helpful through the process. Might have a little wait to order at times but worth it.

I am a New Yorker and this was my first time here. The food was delicious. I ordered the oxtail with rice and peas with cabbage. The service was great. Good food is worth waiting for. A ten minute wait was no problem for me. Will I come back on my next visit to South Carolina, most definitely. 5 stars.

The food was okay but not really Jamaican style. You can make it at home yourself if you want that taste. The sweet tea is to die for , taste so good. Also the coco bread didn’t really have any flavor like a coco bread should. Employees were patient and the food was out fast.

I had the Curry chicken and macaroni and cheese. Service was good food wasn't good but edible. My guest had curry goat, the goat and rice were good.
