Some of the Best Oxtails I've ever had! Definitely slow cooked and made with a lot of flavor and a lot of love. We also enjoyed the Brown Stewed Chicken and the Curry Chicken. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Excellent service and great food!

Had the most amazing dining experience at Mad O Caribbean and Seafood, it was like dining in Jamaica with family. The food was balanced with flavor, texture and presentation. The service was exceptional, and the staff communicated clearly. Can't wait to go back and try more of their amazing dishes. Highly recommend visiting if you're in the area. Blessings bredda, keep the fire burning.

I eat here every time I'm looking for awesome Caribbean food in Jacksonville FL. I came with a few of my motorcycle sisters, this time I hade the ox tail and curry goat mix couldn't decide what to eat! Once again I wasn't disappointed food was amazing! My motorcycle sisters had the red snapper one grilled the other fried and another had the fish and srimp. Everyone was very satisfied with the food and had leftovers. I grabbed a chicken and veggie patty to go!

If you are looking for authentic, home cooked style Jamaican food, you are in the right place. Not only do the beef patties melt in your mouth, but the curry goat and jerk chicken are mout watering. The refreshing cabbage on the side and mountain of rice and beans put it all together into one really tasty mouth full. The owner himself is so hospitable and kind. 100% a place you want to grab a bite from.

The pair running this amazing restaurant deserve all the good fortune possible. I appreciate their patience while I asked many questions to try and get out of my comfort zone and try something new. The food is so fresh! I'm obsessed with all of the flavors here, such an impressive variety of options. The service is second to none and I can't wait to come back. YOU NEED TO EAT HERE! Don't let this hidden gem pass you by!

The people are friendly and welcoming. It is like going to Mom and Pops for Caribbean food... It's all cooked to order by the same people who take orders. Quality ingredients. Great spices! A bit different that we thought but recommend this place for authentic Caribbean food! We had the shrimp curry, the jerk shrimp, and the whole fried snapper!!!

I wanted a combination of seafood & Caribbean since we all wanted something different so I came across this restaurant after doing a Google search. The owner was pleasant the entire time & made sure to ask me again exactly what/how I wanted my sides which were the beans w/ rice & cabbage. When the food came out everything looked, smelled, & tasted delicious so we all were very pleased w/ our choice & plan on visiting again.
