First of all, if you're looking for a casual sit-down restaurant, this is NOT what you're looking for. D&H is mostly a bar with some tables on the side for restaurant service. With that being said, let's get to the food: IT'S REALLY GOOD! GET THE OXTAILS! I had oxtails and double sides of cabbage. The oxtails are stewed in a super rich, almost black brown-sauce, that is absolutely lick-off-your-fingers good. The oxtails themselves are super tender and practically fall of the bones. Cabbage was good too, nothing really notable, but made for an excellent vehicle to suck up the rest of the brown sauce. I was there on a Friday night and it definitely had a very loud, party atmosphere. We were leaving just in time for things to start getting rowdy. If good food is what you're looking for, then D&H is a culinary vacation to the Caribbean, especially since Jamaican food isn't always easy to find...just don't expect to be able to hear the people sitting at the table with you.

Yummy yummy yummy. The jerk vegetable roti and the curry veggie platter were both relish. We had a very friendly server named Jackie who told us all about D&H and about Newark, DE in general.

Food was really good.Went twice and enjoyed the oxtails both times.

I've experienced good and terrible at D&H. I have a coworker that loves the curry goat and I've have tried several of there dishes. Some have been good and I really enjoy the cabbage, It's sweet and cooked well and I also like the beef patties. Last time I ordered the curry chicken and it was terrible. It did not taste good and the whole dish was full of fat, large cut up bones along with bone shards throughout the dish. needless to say I did not finish it. I would probably eat here again if I was peer pressured by my coworker but most likely will not make the trip back on my own decision. I would like to point out that there staff was always pleasent and prompt when I would go in to pick up my food.

What are you even DOING?! Stop it and come get some of this Jamaican goodness! Get the 2 meats entree with curry goat and jerk pork (comes with cabbage, rice & beans)! The pork has a spicy kick and the goat is tender, but goat meat always has bones, so watch out! I tried the oxtail and pepper steak, also solid choices. The BBQ jerk wings are really tasty and perfectly fried. Really reasonable happy hour specials. Beef patties look and taste like they're from the super market freezer, still tasty, but almost certainly not homemade. Dudes: the men's room urinals were full of mothballs, has anyone seen that before?

Very good brown stew & jerk chicken... All sides I've tried have been pretty good... I've tried a lot of Jamaican food, this by far is one of the best...

I went there for lunch with my daughter. She ordered the Oxtail and I had the brown chicken stew. The chicken was fall off the bone tender with just the right amount of spice. The Oxtail had great flavor but was not as tender as her previous visits. We both went with the red beans and rice along with the cabbage for sides. Both were very good. An excellent lunch. To top it all off I left my phone on the table when I left and they called my favorites to let me know that they had it! I will be returning to D&H with the rest of family for more of the fantastic fare.

I was craving for some jamaican food and found this restaurant on yelp so my husband and I drove to this place. This place is next to a Mr. Tire and is in a small shopping center. It turns into a night club at night and I guess we came when it was switching from a restaurant to a night club. It was a little weird but after our initial WTF moment, we sat down at a table and was helped. We ordered a feast! I had a two item plate with goat curry and ox tail. My husband had the three item plate with the curry chicken, ox tail, and jerk shrimp with vegetables. We also ordered the spicy beef patty, and pork ribs. EVERYTHING was DELICIOUS BUT the jerk shrimp. A tip our waitress shared with us was to dip our beef patty into the ox tail sauce, OMG best idea ever! We've been trying to plan a trip back to this place since we left and that was over a month ago. But we feel silly if we drove two hours just to eat and then come back but it's crossed our mind plenty of times.

Food is great--oxtails are savory, flavorful and fall right off the bone. Rice and peas are tasty and the plantains are great too. Environment is very casual but nice party spot to hang out as well. Cool for after work and happy hour. There is also a branch in wilmington on 4th and market and food is just as great. I go to either depending on where I am.

After reading the reviews on yelp, I convinced my buddy to try some Jamaican food while we were traveling to the area on business. I love going to these dives or non descript places for food. D&H definitely fits the bill. Upon entrance, we know we are in a no thrills bar. The music wasn't too loud, well it was only around 6pm. I had to try the Curried Goat. It was as good as advertised and recommended by other yelpers. The meats just melts off the bones and the curry sauce was plentiful and compliments the rice just right. I had to keep drinking my beer because it was so "hot". The jerk chicken was spicey, but a littel too wet and too small for my taste. Got an order of fried plantian, it was a little disappointing because it was okay, but not as good as other yelpers have suggested. Would have bought the Red Stipes if I haven't already picked up a 6 pack of Black n Tan next door. Will definitely come back if I am ever in the area again.

I love this place. The food, while not 100% authentic Jamaican, is fantastic. It's my favorite place in Delaware for takeout. It's fairly inexpensive, you can get in and out for about fifteen dollars a person. Unless you get a bunch of side orders of stuff, which is totally recommended. All that being said, this place is a hole in the wall. It's a bar. A loud, poorly lit, informal bar. It's a bar that happens to serve kick ass food, but it's not the sort of place you go for an intimate sit down dinner. This is not a place you bring children. The bathrooms aren't always super clean (They're not terrible either). It's a hole in the wall dive bar that serves some of the best damn food in the state. Know what you're getting into and you'll love it. Expect a "restaurant" experience and be disappointed.
(5)Corey D.
The waitstaff always seem to be in a care-less type of mood. Although i can't blame them. The bar attracts a lot of creepy looking guys and the biker clubs. Luckily, it's smoke-free so you can actually sit down and enjoy something. Now the menu is not extensive, but the jerk chicken plate and jerk pork are pretty tasty. They are both boiled in a jerk stew and then poured into a boat. The typical side choices are rice and collard greens. If you are lucky, they will have plantains which actually compliment the dish and give you a variety of flavors but on most days they will not have any.
(3)Savannah M.
D&H is authentic and truly one of the best Jamaican restaurants I've been too. I have an obsession with their Curried Goat and Jerk Chicken but beware if you can't handle the heat stay away from that. They have it all Jerked Wings, Snapper, Curry, Oxtails, Roti, Jamaican Patties, and RedStripe naturally. Their sides are perfect companions to their main dishes: Red Beans and Rice, Plantains, Cabbage, and Collard Greens. Love Love Love This Place!
(5)Brittany T.
Thursday nights are the best! Great food, people and drinks.
(3)Anthony I.
My wife and I wanted to try restaurants in the area so we browsed Yelp to get a list of suggestions. We visited Jamaica a few years ago so we decided to try D & H. We were not disappointed. I had the combo plate. My pick was the jerk shrimp and curried goat. The goat meat was so tender and the jerk shrimp had right level of heat. The lady that attended to us was busy but made sure that we did not feel neglected. If you have a craving for jamaican food this is the place to go.
(4)Larry Poncho B.
Truly Awesomesauce! The jerk wings and chicken roti were on point....like being in the islands!
(5)Ro L.
The best Jamaican food. Try their oxtails or jerk chicken salad.
(5)G D.
Good Jamaican food. We enjoyed the curried goat with roti and the bbq jerk chicken wings. It is a bar so not a place where you can go with kids. But worth trying if you wanted to try Jamaican food. Also not a place if you are looking to have a nice and quiet dinner. They played the music quite loudly. The food is reasonably priced with good quantities. I think they would do better if they improved the family friendliness of this place.
(4)Brad C.
Maybe I caught D&H on a bad day or too late at night as well because I wasn't impressed with my meal at all. I ordered a jerk chicken breast, red beans and rice, and the veggie of the day which was cabbage. The chicken was falling off the bone but it was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor, it did have a bit of heat though. The rice and beans were tasty enough. And for the cabbage, who gets excited about cabbage? When I want chicken I'll continue to go to the peruvian place on kirkwood hghwy.
(2)Tama A.
Awesome place, great food, great Happy Hour prices - $5.50 pitcher beers and awesome old school music... Def a place to hang.
(4)Scott K.
Tough to beat for an island food fix. The oxtail melts in your mouth. The red beans and rice are perfect and the cabbage is just outstanding. Everything has the right amount of heat and everything I've ever had (the goat, the chicken, the oxtail) is always so fresh tasting. A definite local fave. You can't beat the price with a stick and you can't believe how generous they are with the portions.
(4)Tonya A.
Okay. I was really disappointed with this place. After reading all the reviews, I expected better. This spot is mediocre at best. I got the "jerk chicken" wings and trust me that was NOT jerk chicken. It was brown stew chicken and I know a lot of places that serve brown stew instead of jerk in order to try and get over on people who don't know any better. The rice and peas were bland (with little peas) and the service was blah. The drinks were okay and one plus is that the plantains were plentiful and ripe! I am from the DC area originally and I've visited top quality Caribbean restaurants (my favorite is Jiallo's in Indianapolis). This, unfortunately, is not one of them. Maybe I visited on a bad day, but I will not be driving from south Jersey to eat here again.

I was in Delaware on business, right after being in NYC for the weekend, so my standards were very high. This restaurant surprised me in a good way by having astoundingly well prepared food. The goat curry roti was very tender and so good I was tempted to lick the bowl clean. The plantains were very well done, and the collard greens were well seasoned. Others in the table had good comments about the peppered beef. The restaurant is very casual. The wood tables are very clean. The walls are covered with Jamaican-looking paintings and reggae was playing when we arrived. The place is bright, and the young lady who waited our table was friendly and very patient as she described the dishes. My only disappointment was they didn't have the Whiting Escovitch, but I hope I will get to try it on my next visit.
(4)JOANN S.
I went to D&H for a business lunch and it was great! The food was seasoned good and it was plentiful! The waitress was friendly and attentive. I will go back with my family!!
(4)Monica S.
D&H is an authentic taste of the Carribean in humble Newark, DE. The jerk pork is so unbelievably delicious, we crossed the country just to get a taste. The curried goat is delicious - eat it up! The fried plantains served with most dishes (or on their own) are a crowd pleaser. Don't miss the jerk wings! Damn good! The atmosphere is low key and along the lines of a bar or pub. The waitstaff is alternately pleasantly kooky or incredibly sweet. Always genuine and friendly. This place is a treasure! There aren't many places with Jamaican this good in the US.
(5)Dave G.
One of my few regrets in life is that I've lived in the area for 30 years, and just ate at this place for the first time today. The food is amazing - their BBQ jerk chicken wings are phenomenal. This restaurant/bar is very laid back - it's definitely a cool place to hang out. Service is good, and the prices are great - especially during happy hour, they have $5.50 pitchers!
(5)Nicole B.
we usually hit this place on thursdays to watch a band. usually we just all pick at some wings. the jerk wings are fantastic! tonight we actually ate. tried curry chicken and also a jerk chicken roti. both really good. i have been to jamaica half a dozen times and am not sure why i have yet to experience a roti but there will be alot to come in the future. red beans and rice is good too but get some brown sauce on them. delicious!
(4)Musin Y.
Lots of roughly hewn wood tables and a large friendly bar sort of make me feel like I'm in a carribean atmosphere. The goat curry roti is spicy, meaty and filling and large enough to feed two. The barbeque ribs are tender and delicious.
(4)Mia K.
Not sure if it was the day, but I had the best food today Currie Chicken with a side of Jerk Chicken and Collard greens! Yummmy Icing on the cake was the wonderful service from Jackie our server!

Let me start of by informing those of you who want a more realistic food experience to visit Spice & Nice 2 off route 40...Google it. Now as a Jamaican there is a certain taste that has to associated with our food and naturally I expect when going to a JA spot. Sadly the only aspect to Jamaican about this place are the correct names to some of dishes, the owners are J'cans and that they play Reggae at nights. With regards to the actual flavor DH is on the very bottom of the scale and the food is subpar. All they have going here is that they have a good location, so needless to say all the non-Jamaicans go there thinking they are having a real experience because they play Reggae music and they can tell their friends they had some Jamaican named meal... /facepalm. So what made me write this / visit this place? Well I recently I started working close by, so I was no longer close to my usual real deal spot (Spice n Nice). So I decided against my better judgement to stop in for Patties. I figured after avoiding this place for about 2 1/2 yrs they probably got it together. After walking in I made a last minute decision to take a baby step approach due to me remembering my last experience which literally left a bad taste in my mouth. Anyway I decided get some Patties (3 Chicken and 2 Beef) as I figured they can't f that up. Wrong! The patties were cold, clearly stale and fell apart when I bit into it. Even more embarrassing was my co-worker who I bought some for started telling me how horrible it was and how Jamaican food is bad. Yeah... I posted picture of the Patty so you can see I'm not making this up. I will once again put this place on my $hit list for another 2 1/2yrs after that experience. My suggestion to the 2 owners is that you stay out the kitchen and hire a better Cook. Whoever you hire Patties from cancel your future orders and source another and ensure you cycle in fresh patties.

I have been to D& H twice,hoping the first time was just a bad night for the kitchen. The food was the worst Jamaican food I have had; both times. I doubt if the cook can find Jamaica on a map. The jerk chicken breast was too dry to eat and did not have a good jerk taste. I know that breast is is more challenging; but don't put it on the menu if you can not cook it! The cabbage was under cooked and the carrots were still crispy. None of the rich buttery taste you expect. The rice and peas was old and dry and tasteless. I really like Jamaican food and D&H is so close to home; but the food is just bad! Also, I went to the bar to get a beer and the bartenders were too busy playing games on their tablets to serve customers. After I finally got ones attention; she takes the beer out of the cooler and stops to talk to a customer for four minutes while it warmed in her hand.

There is a D&H4 Jamaican restaurant in downtown Wilmington too. I think they are unrelated. It's awesome.

The initial time I frequented this place was initially better than my second time. This prompted me to write a review after I had seen several other views. The first time I went I had the same exact thing I ordered the second time. There was a DJ and I went around a happy hour time. The food was really good so Maybe I went on a bad night the second time. Upon arrival the cashier gave us the menus to order take out. I order 2 platters. Curry chicken with rice & beans and cabbage on the side and also the jerk wings, cabbage and rice & beans. The second order was made with out plantains. A side of chicken patty abd chicken egg rolls. Cashier recommended he put the plantains on the first order. $26 While waiting we had a beer (shocktop was on tap #ohyeah!) and a sex on the beach drink. $10 Needless to say the sex on the beach was not tasty. We drank a few sips and by then the food was ready. When we got home the food was not the way I had tasted previously. The cabbage was not cooked to the true Caribbean way. The jerk was over whelming for a person who loves spicy food! The chicken patty was drink and unrecognizable. The curry was bland. Needless to say I wasted money that night because we had to discard our meal and go to bed hungry. I gave 2 stars for my previous experience and the beer.
(2)Nicole P.
Let me start off with saying this place was a big waste of time and money. How can you go wrong with jerked chicken wings, well this place did. The food didnt taste fresh and the seasoning didnt seem authentic. Everything I ordered was nasty and I've been to several jamacian spots. I ordered a tequila sunrise while I waited for my food which by the way was horrible. Not even sure if they are real jamacian's running the place. I like the whole concept of a bar/jamacian restaurant that's the only reason I'm rating it a 2 but thus place is in my N.A(never again) list.
(2)Akisha J.
Hmm.. So let me start by saying I have been going here for some time now. The food is decent... particularly because you don't have many choices for Caribbean food in this area. If you have a craving... its probably one of two choices in the area..so I will go to fill a craving... otherwise.. The service is CRAP! The female servers all seem to be B*#&$*sss (&!!!! Except for the tall white lady....and I'm a Black woman, so I'm not discriminating.. just pointing out the obvious) but it seems as if all the servers/bartenders of color have attitudes. Particularly if you are woman...you will get served with straight attitude. But I have watched them serve the men with smiles, giving away free food and drinks and everything. Seems as if, if you're a man, you'll get excellent service (and probably something more after the place closes if you know what I mean) but if you're a woman you are served with attitude and the stank face. I'm pretty sure they won't do anything about the service because this is pretty much a whole in the wall.. This is simply just to warn you all... decent food.. horrible service.
(1)Nate H.
I have eaten at this establishment for since they first opened, and unfortunately the quality of their food has consistently diminished. The Maryland and DC Jamaican eateries serve much better cuisine, probably due to all the competition in the area. D&H literally has no other Jamaican restaurant to competing with them.
