My husband and I were in Chester for the 3rd place CONCACAF game at the PPL stadium so we planned to go to a Jamaican restaurant that we like closer to downtown Philly. Unfortunately the traffic was terrible and the map on my phone indicated that the road that the restaurant is located on was closed. Using Yelp, we decided to find a restaurant near PPL Stadium since we didn't want to miss the game. The restaurant is a little hole-in-wall type place with really good food at low prices. I like that they give you the option of the different sizes that you want your portion. My husband had the jerk chicken and I had the chicken curry. We both ordered the small size and I thought that it was plenty for us. The lady at the counter asked if my husband wanted the jerk chicken spicy and he told her yes. Well, let's just say, she really meant it. Even though the jerk chicken was really spicy, my husband and I enjoyed the food there.

I want to give a 3.5 but no halfsies and due to inconsistencies I can bring myself to give a 4. Therefore 3 stars it is. So the vibe here is typical dive Jamaican spot, no frills just good food. This spot is close enough to my job so get here without rushing and using a whole hour for that reason alone it's my go to spot. I'm sure I can call ahead but I never do. The employees aren't overly friendly but they're not rude either which you get sometimes so it's cool. Onto the food! So I always get the same thing, oxtails rice and peas and if they have it plantains, if not then cabbage. They don't always have plantains but I'm used to that so while it's a disappointment it's not devastating. The first few times I came here it knocked my socks off seriously I was considering getting a pan of oxtails for an event but didn't feel like driving out here on the weekend. The first time I brought a friend I was mad because that was the first time it wasn't great, it was undercooked, I swore to her it was a fluke and we went back a week or two after, same thing. I waited a month or two before returning and it was just ok the meat was good but the rice which I usually loved was hard. Their cabbage which I get when they don't have plantain is always overcooked. Today I went and everything was great the rice, the oxtails, the cabbage was soggy but not mush, I def enjoyed today's meal. What I don't enjoy is spending $9 for a mini platter, but I guess the price to avoid driving into Philly is $3.

Very good food ... The stewed chicken is awesome and the cabbage is the best . You get your money's worth a medium platter will feed two people

If you are near Harrahs Chester or PPL Park, take a little drive down the roaad for some no nonsense Jamaican at OB's. You can get very satisfying authentic food here for a reasonable price. I get the jerk chicken platter 90% of the time, because it's the best I've found around here so far. They have oxtails, fish, jamaican patties, and other traditional stuff too. The staff is quick if not a little bristley. All platters come with red beans and rice and sweat cabbage. Delicious.

I love giving local businesses my business whenever possible, but sometimes it really isn't worth it. I just called to place an order for a tray of jerk chicken and after first hanging up on me the first time I called, the woman had the audacity to tell me it would cost $180!!!! You're a small restaurant in the hood, who is going to pay you that amount of money? Boo on you for hanging up on me and boo again for not knowing your market. I'm ordering from another location with more realistic prices.

Only reason to be down in Chester PA, I had their jerk (can specify spicy or mild for you young'uns) in $7 small platter, the following week, tore up their Large $13 platter.. #FOODPORN, worth a trip, choice of white or rice with beans.. I split that latter with wife & somewhat picky daughter.. Finger wipe worthy! Just kidding
