Rootsman Kitchen

My second time patronizing but first time getting a fish for myself. The stew fish was great. The patty was moist, flaky and flavorful. The portion sizes were ample. There was a line inside, seems like they have a dedicated following. The old man up front was watching baseball game and I realized he may be the owner or somehow affiliated because when I asked what time they closed, a customer yelled out to him the inquiry and he answered. I get the feeling this is a family run business. I just moved to south end recently. Im finding the spots around here that thrive in the neighborhood, this seems to be one of them. The place was clean, decorated in proper theme. Parking is hit or miss. There's a lot of stores in this small shopping strip and very little parking. I was lucky to find a spot. This is probably a place I'll be walking to. The young register guy was personable, greeted me with a smile. Took my order and had my food ready in no time. The rice was good, the cabbage salad was seasoned well. I'll be back!

This spot is great. We needed breakfast and on our journey we decided to google what's available. We ordered ackee and saltfish. It was very good and had a lot of flavor and a nice amount of pepper. I would love to come back and try lunch dishes. You guys have to try the food.

1st. Time here and walking thru the door you get the smells coming from the back kitchen/ front where the food is just waiting for you to order it .. Ok so I ordered the brown stewed chicken with rice n beans and it is like everything right now as I dig into this dish .. They give you a good portion of food they are not shy with feeding you .. Everything is really good n flavorful I will be going back for other dishes price isn't bad either

I've eaten here my whole life food has only gotten better Authentic well seasoned & cleanFood: 5/5

I try not to leave a 5 star but this place is definitely worth it the jerk chicken was so juicy and delicious the rice and beans was amazing cabbage was just as delicious definitely gonna come back thank you

Jamaican food that is the tastiest around! This place is the prime example of how real food is supposed to be made. Everyone should eat here!

By far one of the BEST JERK CHICKEN IN THE STATE! Yes STATE! The only con is that they need to be more generous when adding the meat portion because that is what it lacks other then that, delicious! Spices are on point and rice is nice and fluffy, yummy! All my foodies follow my insta for delicious eats @girleatsworldx

Anytime I come back home, this is a must stop for me. I've had Jamaican food from many other spots and this is by far my favorite, hands down! I always get the Jerk Chicken and it never disappoints. Keep it up!

Great Food & I have tried others nothing compares to Rootsmon

Best Jamaican food in the city. Always return for more...
