Ja-fake-a Ja-fake-a

by jamaicandeb

It really causes me pain to give Jamaica Jamaica a bad score, because they used to be fairly decent before 2005. Now it is not even Jamaican food. According to one review, the owner died. Sorry if that explains it because the food is horrible.

• Pros: patties are fine if they have them.
• Cons: everything. plaintains were horrible, rice and peas were bland. yuck.

Jamaica Jamaica Restaurant Receives negative Criticism since the Sudden Death of Owner

by firstdaughter

As the daughter of the late Fernando Rainford, I feel obligated to let customers of Jamaica Jamaica Restaurant know about the sudden changes to our family business. I wanted to apologize to the loyal customers of Jamaica Jamaica located in RTP for the change in quality and service. Since the sudden death of my father on November 26th, 2007, there has been and will continue to be major changes in management and food production. As a re-birth and in dedication to my father, Virgils Jamaica in Raleigh opens its doors as a take-out and catering on June 18, 2008. We hope to continue his dream throughout this new chapter in our lives.

What a waste of time..

by lil_miss_brooklyn

Ok so let's start off by saying I'm severely homesick. I moved to Raleigh in July from Brooklyn NY and I work in RTP. I've grown tired of drive thrus and crave some real food for a change. Fast forward to today. I hear people say "Oh try this place their food is pretty good - All I can say is NOT - I spent eight dollars for a stew chicken dinner and the chicken was PINK!!! Along with the food being flavorless I was truly upset. I don't what others are used to but this is absolutely disgusting. If I didn't work 10 minutes away I'd give the plate of food back to them!!! True yardies don't serve food RAW - Bear foolishness.

• Pros: Staff was friendly
• Cons: Food UNDER cooked - NOT recommended.
