Food was good but service was awful.
The customer service was good. The oxtails weren't seasoned and there was a lot of fat on them.
Good evening I wouldn't recommend this restaurant food was microwaved, macaroni was bad. Plantains where over cooked.

“I stopped by Mr. B’s Caribbean Grill on a Friday right when they opened, and I was really...”
I stopped by Mr. B’s Caribbean Grill on a Friday right when they opened, and I was really impressed. Cornell was running things by himself since his cashier hadn’t shown up yet, and even with a lunch rush hitting, he stayed positive and made sure everyone got great service. I got the jerk chicken meal and the cornbread, and both were amazing. The jerk chicken was some of the best I’ve had in a long time, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I hesitated when I saw the cornbread was $8, but I’m glad I tried it. You can see real corn in it, and it was the perfect mix of sweet and soft. I meant to take pictures, but the food didn’t last long enough, it was that good. Cornell mentioned business has been a little tough lately with the government shutdown since they’re right by the Jefferson Park train stop, but this spot really deserves the support. I heard other people talking about how great the jerk fish, mac & cheese, and curry goat were too. Everything looked and smelled amazing. I’ll definitely be back!

“My husband is Jamaican and from New York, where there was never a shortage of incredible Jamaican food.”
My husband is Jamaican and from New York, where there was never a shortage of incredible Jamaican food. We’ve been on the hunt for a good spot in Chicago for a while, and finally found the one! The rice and peas is the best we’ve had, the jerk chicken is just like how it was when we had it in Jamaica, and the oxtail and goat curry has a dimension and depth of flavor that was missing from every other Caribbean place we’ve had! The festival and beef patty were also standout. Now we no longer have to resort to cooking if we want good Jamaican food, we can reliably get great meals here.

“Caribbean cuisine, and family owned and operated?.”
Caribbean cuisine, and family owned and operated?! It was my first time trying Mr. B’s and it definitely won’t be my last! Not only was he a pleasure to speak with, but his food was an equal pleasure to enjoy. I ordered the jerk chicken, which was served with rice and peas, as well as plantains. Don’t make the mistake I made and not order the cornbread. Everything was cooked to perfection, the meat practically falling off the bones. You can tell Mr. B puts a lot of time, love, and passion into preparing his family’s traditional cuisine. He makes everything from scratch and in house, from the sauce to the cornbread. That said, I will be back to try those oxtails…and the cornbread I should’ve ordered the first time! Thank you again Mr. B! It’s establishments like yours that make Chicago the greatest food scene on earth. Go and enjoy y’all!

“This restaurant has been in Jefferson Park, and I finally stopped in today.”
This restaurant has been in Jefferson Park, and I finally stopped in today. It serves food with a Jaimacan flare. I asked the waitress what she'd recommend, and she said the Beef Oxtail. I thought it was a bit pricey until I ate it. It came with rice and beans, and plantain. The sauce was rich. The meat was tender. The rice and beans were moist. And the plantain was sweet with just a hint of tartness. They serve jerk, curry, and fish dishes, and all kinds of soul food side dishes. And dessert is sweet potato pudding. If you're looking for something new to try, stop here!

“We are local and thought we would stop in.”
We are local and thought we would stop in. I know nothing about Caribbean food and I have seen several places with several cuisine close their doors. I have past by a few times before and the place always looks empty. I took the family and ordered chicken wings, Chicago style bbq ribs, jerk chicken with rice, corn bread, and collard greens. I have no idea why this place ever looks empty. The food was fantastic. The collard greens were some of the best I have ever had with a nice heat in the tail end. The jerk chicken was fantastic with not too much heat and excellent flavor. Even the ribs were good, all and all a great experience, we will be going back.

“If you're even thinking of trying Mr.”
If you're even thinking of trying Mr. B's, DO IT! The food is absolutely incredible, fresh and full of flavor. My bf ordered the jerk pork meal that came with rice and plantains(don't get me started on the perfection of those plantains, and the jerk sauce..🤤🤤🤤); I ordered the fried chicken meal with fries (tasty, crunchy wings with fall off the bone chicken & the fries are my all time fav now). We also ordered sides of greens, Mac + cheese & cornbread to share. We loved the sides so much so, we ordered extra greens and cornbread for our left overs. Not to mention the staff are super sweet and welcoming. Felt like home away from home. We will deeeeefinately be back and spreading the word to all our neighbors and friends. 🔥🙏🏼
