St Marys Restaurant & Bar

I came in to this place the bar tenders are rude, no customer service skills at all. When since do you have to go to a restaurant and you have to go and tell them your here for them to acknowledge you, they pass like they don’t see you and I have to go and asked for a menu. For someone that never been here before this not how I was expect to be treated.

I went here because I was in the mood for some comfort food that reminded me of home. The waitress wasn’t the nicest person. She was a bit impatient. Nonetheless, I ordered oxtail with rice and peas. The portion size was great. As a Jamaican myself, the main fault was that the oxtail was a bit too sweet and not enough spice. Luckily I had some grace hot sauce to fix the problem. I would definitely go back!

Jerk chicken all day! Not in the best part of town but the food was worth it. Definitely go during the day at first to try it out before you try hitting it up at night… just saying. The place is not too big and and it can get packed quick but worth a try for the jerk chicken!

Did try the oxtail. meh. i will stick with just the rum punch and patties.

I had oxtails and curry chicken. The oxtails were great. The curry chicken was good. A little more plain than I expected. Overall good Caribbean food.

St. Mary’s use to be my favorite spot for my jerk chicken, I just love jerk chicken but my last two visits there the jerk taste and looks more like spicy bar-​b-​cue sauce. My real island people know what I’m talking about. I’m not sure who’s in the kitchen but he need a cooking class on how real jerk is cooked so if the owner takes the time to read this I was at st. Mary’s on Thursday September 24^th around 5 oh n my rice was hard. This is your name out there not the cook so you need to get to the bottom of this problem because it’s a lot of restaurants that we can take our business too. ijs

Went in for lunch. With only 3 other people in the restaurant, nobody came to take our order for about 15 minutes. We got up and left.

I would advise doing carry out as you’ll get faster service that way. The jerk chicken meal is delicious comes with cabbage, rice, and plaintains. I always ask for the jerk chicken sauce as sometimes the chicken can be dry and that’s where all he flavor is.
Beef patties are better than the chicken patties

Took way too long to be acknowledged and even longer to get my food. The food was not impressive at all and neither were the drinks.

My first time having Jamaican cuisine it was quite delicious with the right amount of seasoning and not too salty. The staff was very friendly

The veggie patties are the best I’ve ever had. The only reason I’m giving them four instead of five stars is because they are hard to come by! I wish they were always available.

The food was alright. The jerk chicken was overly peppery and not as moist. I didn’t really like it. The oxtails were not cooked long enough because they were tough; additionally, they were small and had more fat than meat. The cabbage wasn’t seasoned. The plantains were good. I won’t be returning to waste any more money.

I bought the oxtail, bean and rice. The meals there are consistently good. Lots of food. The price are also great compared to Washington D. C, where oxtail can cost up to $ 16. Service is okay nothing spectacular. In all good place to get a meal

Had the oxtail which was good but there was some issue with my portion. The employee who plated my food gave me less than a full portion and when I tried speaking to him he refused to even engage. Luckily there was another employee there who took a look at my plate and agreed that I didn’t receive a full portion. I want what I pay for. I’m not asking for any special treatment. Work on your customer relations, guys.

Food is super salty! We got the curry goat and the jerk chicken. The First time I went, it was not bad, but this second time was not so good.

1. The food was ok, the chicken was salty and the veggies lacked seasoning.
2. The service could have been much better
3. They only let you eat the larger portions for dine in (anything smaller than a large you must take out).
4. They didn’t have all the items on the menu available-​the waitress checked prior to me ordering and said they had the item and come to find out they didn’t then tried to charge me extra when they asked if I wanted to substituted for another item that they did have after I already paid for my whole order.
5. The beef patty was good
6. I won’t be going there anymore.

I have tried a few Caribbean restaurants and haven’t been pleased so I ended up at this place when some family stopped in town. The stew chicken was very tasty, the Oxtails was good, tender and seasoned well. The curry chicken can use a little more spices, a tad bit pepper (curry needs pepper). The atmosphere was nice actor the seating area and the restrooms were clean according to my aunt & uncle.

Solid West Indian cuisine. There’s not a thing fancy about this place, but the food is good. It can sometimes take a few minutes to check out, even if you previously order, but it doesn’t happen often enough to warrant no longer frequenting.
I’ve tried:
The Oxtails: Pretty good. Not as spicy as I would have liked, but pretty good nonetheless. The rice & peas are standard also, as is the cabbage.
Beef Patty: Not the best I’ve had, but it will do. It tastes almost identical to the frozen «Golden Krust» brand that you can buy at Dollar Tree.
Price point is reasonable also.
There’s a full service bar here as well as a second floor that apparently comes alive on the weekends. I have yet to check it out though.

I’m not so sure about this place. Came in to get a carryout order and it is taking forever to even be acknowledged. And I waited. Well I will never even know what the food taste like. First impression is everything. It was rather late but if you are bartenders and order takers you shoukd be friendky to everyone. Not be so into conversations with other customers that you ignore a new customers
The music in the basement seemed to be pumping but if you can’t even get your order took there is no need to ask anything about this business. I will take my business where I can be greeted with ac warm welcome and feel like my business is wanted :-(:-(

Great authentic Jamaican food. The portions are pretty large so we normally split an entrée and get a beef patty.
The mixed drinks are served in a pint glass and are super cheap.
The curry goat and oxtail are my favorites.
The interior is no frills so going with just the expectation of great food and little else is suggested.
