Kingston 30 Jamaican Restaurant

Roxi Blue

Discrimination is worst-served by an old Jamaican woman! Today, I went to this little place to pick up a snack; ordered 3 patties and 2 drinks! I noticed they had sugar cake, coco bread, and black cake. I could have easily lost my entire mind in there; sorry, I digress. I sat outside and ate my beef patty and decided I should have another, just so I can finish off my sorrel. I returned to the counter and asked for a beef patty. The little old woman looked at me suspiciously. She then put the the patty in a bag and sat it on the counter close to her, instead of giving it to me. I told her that I would be using Apple Pay. She shook her head, indicating no, but didn’t say anything. I told her again that I will use Apple Pay and she said that I couldn’t for one item. I then revealed to her that I was just in the restaurant and used Apple Pay and did not have cash. A gentleman offered to pay for the patty; I refused because it wasn’t something I needed and I was just supporting the local business. By the way, I am visiting from Chicago. After the gentleman offered to pay, the woman decided to tell me that I could purchase the item with Apple Pay. The HUMAN BOSS MOVE would have been to step from behind the counter, offer an apology, and offer me the item, without charging me. You wasted my time and disturbed my energy over a $3 DAMMMMM BEEF PATTY!!! It was very disturbing that a business owner would refuse payments in any form that they accept because the order consisted of one item. What if I could only afford one patty and my account would be at $0 after that transaction? I could have been spending my last $3 in your place of business, and you were too mean to honor my patronage. As my mother would have said, “I went to Kingston 30 Jamaican Restaurant twice; THE FIRST TIME AND THE LAST TIME!”

This is my FIRST REVIEW EVER! I was going to call the restaurant but they were closed shortly after the delivery. Also, I gave a one star rating because I couldn’t write a review otherwise. Based on previous reviews, I decided to try this restaurant. I ordered the jerked chicken wings meal with sides of fried plantains and steamed vegetables. The plantains and vegetables were OK. However, THE JERKED WINGS WERE HORRIBLE!!! They had NO TASTE OF JERK SEASONING! I’m not even sure if they were jerked! There was an orange colored sauce on the chicken. It was sweet. Even worse, THE CHICKEN WAS OLD!!!! So old I had to throw it away, wasting my hard earned money! The smell was so bad that while I had the container open, someone in the house came out of his room to see what carried that smell! I AM NOT EXAGGERATING ANY OF THIS!!! It seems as if the stale chicken, in order to make it look and taste fresh, was coated with that orange SWEET SAUCE!!! I AM VERY DISPLEASED AND UPSET!!!! It amazes me how human beings are satisfied to the point where they sleep comfortably at nights knowing they did something so awfully wrong! I DID NOT WORK HARD TO SPEND MY MONEY ON STALE, SMELLY FOOD!!! CONTACT FROM THE OWNER WOULD BE IN ORDER!!! I HAVE NO PLANS TO ORDER FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN!!!

I have seen this spot many times as I passed by it. Decided to finally stop and try the place. It's okay. I have definitely had better Jamaican food before. I guess having visited Jamaica in September and experiencing the food first hand makes comparing the American Jamaican food version different.

The customer service was great & employees were exceptionally nice. However, the food was unbelievably bland, no seasoning, I honestly don't event believe salt & pepper on the cabbage, rice & peas & meat. I will say that the oxtails were …
