Sylvia's Jamaican Restaurant

Customer service was very nice. The prices were ok. I haven't had good caribbean food in a long time so I was excited about finding this restaurant. I was very disappointed with the food. I had goat soup and oxtails rice and peas. The goat soup was ok. It lacked goat meat and was more dumplings but the soup was very well seasoned. The oxtails rice and peas not very good. The rice was hard and it didn't have to authentic coconut milk seasoned taste. It had a burnt rice smell and taste. The oxtails were soft but not tasty. I will be going to Golden Krust or another restaurant further down main street

The food is okay at best. I say this because it's often a hit or miss. Usually you receive under seasoned food but on rare occasions you get a good batch. I love supporting small business but the customer service here is more times than not absolutely horrible. Good customer service means repeated customer.
The last time I ordered take away from here I found a hair in my rice. I currently have blue hair so it definitely wasn't mine.

Had the Oxtail yesterday. The food doesn’t really have any taste. Just spicy.

The people there are awesome! The food was absolutely amazing! The prices were great. Very generous portions. Food was very fresh and was ready quickly. This will definitely be my new favorite spot!

Best Jamaican food in my area considering price and quality and taste recommended any day to anybody

Had the oxtail dish with rice and cabbage. It was very tasty; nice combination of flavors and spices. Very fast, cheerful, courteous service as well. Great place for Jamaican food!

NICEST PEOPLE HERE! Fantastic food. Every time I have visited, the customers and the staff are always incredibly sweet - one person even went out of her way to check for me if they had beef patties left! The beef patties are amazing, the mixed veggies and cabbage were seasoned so well. Fried plantains were good, and the oxtail was delicious! They usually have limited stocks of food, which is okay even if I miss out on some food because then you know it's fresh. If you want all the good stuff (like the dumplings usually sell out quick), come here exactly at or their posted breakfast and lunch times

I stop in to get Jamaican beef patties whenever I'm in Poughkeepsie. They are the best I've found. The staff is always friendly and accommodating.
