Oxtail review by Gwryan
I ordered the oxtails and curry goat from Ruby's Jamaican Kitchen, and both were outstanding. The oxtails were incredibly tender, rich, and full of flavor, with a delicious gravy that paired perfectly with the rice and peas. The curry goat was just as impressive—well-seasoned, tender, and cooked to perfection with authentic Jamaican spices. The cabbage was fresh and flavorful, and the greens added the perfect touch to balance the meal. The portions were generous, and everything tasted homemade. If you're looking for authentic Jamaican food, Ruby's Jamaican Kitchen is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back for the oxtails and curry goat again!
Oxtail review by Patriciajefferson1970
The food was absolutely amazing. The owners were very nice and well educated about the culture. The picture of mom and daughter put the family raising to perfection. We will return. The Miami and FAMU ladies the owners talked to raises your bar to a perfect 10 plus…

Jerk Salmon review by La Chaundra
This was my first time trying Ruby's Jamaican Kitchen, and I was impressed! I ordered the jerk salmon, and it was delicious—perfectly seasoned, moist, and packed with smoky jerk flavor and just the right amount of spice. The sautéed bell peppers, carrots, and onions complemented the salmon perfectly and added even more flavor to the dish. The rice and peas were flavorful with a nice spicy kick, and the cabbage was fresh, tender, and well-seasoned. My only suggestion would be for the macaroni and cheese—it was good, but it could have used a little more cheese to make it creamier and richer. Overall, my first experience was a great one. The portions were generous, the food was full of authentic Jamaican flavor, and I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu. Highly recommended!
Oxtail review by Arlene
Great service and great food. I like that it isn't a typical fast food place, but like a family; like you're a visiting guest! I had the oxtail dinner. The oxtails were extremely tender with just the right amount of smoky sweetness that was set off by the spice of the red beans and rice. Of course the plantains rounded out the meal. Finally, the portions are hefty! This was my third time and I'll be back soon!
Fricassee/ Brown Stew Chicken review by Sherry
This is the best Jamaican food in the DMV area! We have tried many restaurants and Rubys has the best grilled and smoke meat, the greens are fresh, the mac shells are delicious, the cabbage is one of a kind and the service is professional! The owner works hard and is personal with her customers, what a wonderful place to support! We love Ruby's The Christian Family
