Jam Cafe

The food is good, but there was a strand of hair in my food & we called and and told them what I found it was just awkward silence and then the lady said it’s nothing they could do because I already picked up my to-go order and left.

Been here quite a few times but this will be my last. Dry bland food. Long wait for Togo orders. They were good at one point but it's not worth my hard earn money

Really good food. I've been in to get it and had it delivered and the food never disappoints. Oxtail Rasta pasta is the stand out if you don't mind shelling out 20-30 for a plate

I loved loved loved this food. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.. The vibe is exciting. N I photos because I just crush my platter.. Next time tho.

Overpriced for small portions and unappetizing good. Lesson learned - tip- tastes better cooking at home

Curry shrimp and yellow rice, delicious!!! My son had the fried shrimp and fries and he's quite satisfied. First time trying Jam Cafe, will not be the last. Thank you!

I was recommended this place by my sister who goes regularly and I was NOT disappointed! I must say that out of the local 757 Jamaican/ Caribbean spots this has been my favorite. I got the curry chicken Rasta pasta and I thought the seasoning of the chicken balanced the flavor of the pasta. The plantain were sweet. My mom got an oxtail & curry chicken combo with cabbage, rice and peas. She loved all of her food. I tasted her rice and peas and loved it too. The best thing I had was the coco bread my sister ordered. I kept trading her plantains for pieces of her bread lol. The woman who served

I bought the oxtails and it was like eating cubed steak. This is the worst Caribbean food I’ve had. The rice is full of bell peppers so that’s all you taste. For 26 dollars I got a bed of rice and rock hard oxtails. The best thing was the sprite. I will never eat here again. I didn’t even wanna give them the one star.

The green beans good. The yellow rice had raw carrots in it which was making me think it was cartilage from the chicken at first but it wasn’t bad. The mac and cheese was good and the chicken was good as well. It was delivery and it was hot when it came which was really nice.

The order was wrong. But it was good! I (accidentally) had the shrimp Rasta pasta and my partner (accidentally) had the Oxtails and Curry Goat. I'd definitely order from here again. Just in person this time :)

The food tasted great except for the Mac and cheese doesn't taste like anything. Seasoning on the meat was good doesn't taste like Caribbean or Latin food, but more of a soul food taste. If you are into Caribbean or Latin food like I am this is the best your going to get in the Hampton Road area. Trust me I have been searching since I left Florida.

This place is trash. Ordered curry shrimp with rice & peas and cabbage. I got COLD FRIED SHRIMP, one with a HAIR on it!! Flavorless, mushy and cold rice & peas. Cold, undercooked, and also flavorless cabbage. $23 thru uber eats. I just got scammed.

Visited this restaurant twice and was absolutely blown away by the food. The food was a little pricey but worth every cent. The portions are also very large and can serve for two meals. I had the oxtail which was divine and feel right off the bone. The curried goat was also excellent. I also tasted the stew chicken which was decent but not my favourite. I recommend the rasta pasta which is better than any pasta you'll ever taste in Chesapeake. There is a little wait time so order ahead.

REAL TALK. i love their food. But that ox tail with the rasta pasta is a beast. The pasta by itself will destroy anything olive gardan has to offer and the oxtail is plenty and tasty. Dont miss out on this. I just wisb that this combo was alittle cheaper so i can buy it more often

I was impressed buy service from the waiter who made sure our drinks were quick, the bartenders drinks were super strong you have to try the Poison drink and the long Island I had the Rasta Pasta and it was plentiful and a great price!

They have all the island favorites! We had the beef patty, ox tails and curry chicken. That food will really make you feel at home ready to dance!

Came in exactly the time they told me my food would be done which was 10minutes . Walk in asked if the food was done & it wasn't . Came outside waited 10 more minutes come in same lady ask me did u order ? I say yes u jus saw me is my food done? What's ya name again? I tell her . She grabs my food I give her 15$ lady on the phone tell me it's only 12 she walks off never comes back I ask another lady like yo she coming back I was gonna give her the change anyway I was jus making sure I was good to go . The other lady goes yea she jus tryna make some extra money . I'm like

The bartenders are super nice. Whole vibe of the place is cool. Good music. Beef patties are AMAZING! They have really good food. However, the sides don't hit on anything. Macaroni is a no go. Greens = bland. But the actual main dishes?! A hit every time.

I must say, I did not know what to expect when I was invited to a birthday party at this location.

The address (street name) sounded so familiar when I received an invitation to party here. You know this used to be Maymar Restaurant. I had no idea MayMar had left the building... when I don't know. But Jam Cafe are the new owners of this space.

I attended a birthday party here last Saturday night.

We arrived about 9:15 pm. A few people were standing outside, not sure why, but others were pulling up and walking inside. They seemed to be partygoers like us.

I remembered how MayMar was

JAM Cafe is absolutely amazing! Their food is delicious and very well presented! Take my review for it - You will not be disappointed!!
PLEASE TRY THEIR BEEF PATTIES - HEAVENLY 😆
P.S. I took this picture at home, usually do takeout.

I am so glad we found this place while we were in the area. When you first walk in, you would think it was some sort of bar, but they take food orders. All of the food was flavorful! I recommend anyone passing through to try this place if they are interested in carribean food. Pictured below: peppered shrimp (SUPER SPICY, but so good!) - salmon rasta pasta - ox tail rasta pasta - veggie rasta pasta.

This place is a no for me. This location has only been here for a month as I had been seeing it being built because I get my nails done in the same shopping center. I couldn't wait to try it out because I love Jamaican food. I was not impressed. Food was very bland and rather expensive compared to other Caribbean spots. The menu read that the oxtails were $13.99 but the price had went up to $14.99. Oxtails were very fatty. Cabbage was bland. Mac & Cheese was just ok. Probably won't be returning.

Came here last night with my mom for a mother's day Paint and Vibe. It was our first time doing a paint night and we had fun. They had a couple of vendors there, played good music and gave us drinks that came with the ticket. The hostess said she'd work something out with the third ticket i bought but couldn't use, and I WON two more tickets for having one of the best paintings!

Far as the restaurant itself I've been here a few times and their food is decent but the food menu is a little small and they have no drink menu.
