Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Diners rave about the generous portion sizes. The signature jerk chicken and curry goat shine with authentic flavors, leaving taste buds dancing. The homemade jerk sauce receives numerous compliments for its delightful heat. Friendly, attentive staff provides top-notch service, making you feel like family. The welcoming atmosphere, highlighted by vibrant decor and reggae beats, encourages patrons to relax and enjoy. Many also appreciate the thoughtful options for customizing spice levels to suit individual preferences. And let's not forget the plantain, a must-try side that consistently delights with its sweet, caramelized flavor.

Most Disliked

A few patrons have mentioned the wait times during peak hours, suggesting it might take a little longer to get their meals. While the ambiance is adored, some guests felt the noise level could rise with a busy crowd, possibly affecting conversation. Occasionally, certain dishes like the lobster tail are only available on select days, leaving some disappointed when unavailable. While most appreciate the casual atmosphere, some visitors find it less suitable for formal occasions. As Smithy Browns continues to grow, adjustments might be needed to balance crowds and maintain their excellent service.

Really enjoyed my visit here. Easily the best Jamaican restaurant I’ve ever been to. Was looking for a spot for authentic food after work and came across Smithy’s. Had a curry goat and rice and peas which was served with salad, coleslaw and rolls. Food was hot and the flavours were incredible. Can tell these guys are passionate. Meat fell off the bone. So good. Service was great. Waited less than 5 minutes for a piping hot meal and spoke to the owner about local business. Will be returning.

Me & my fiance ordered the: jerk chicken (in the photo), curry goat, a few patties (chicken, goat & lamb) with a side of plantain, for takeaway. The interior of the restaurant was clean and looks very new. The chef (who was also manning the tills) was very pleasant and asked whether or not we wanted a bit more sauce on our rice, and asked if we wanted it a bit more spicy than normal- I thought that was an excellent option to cater to more people. The food was fresh, extremely well-seasoned and our order was ready in less than 15 mins, though it was not busy when I went. The portion sizes were also really decent, and the curry & jerk came with a side salad. Overall, well worth the money and we’ll be regular customers from now on! 👌🏻
