Always looking for something different to try and I came up to this place they had a great section of dishes, great flavor not thing to over powering the dish. Friend staff and owners. The only down fall was the lack of open clean tables. People were just setting outside not eating or ordinary food just taking up sits.

Small place to eat inside but had a few tables outside. We carryout that day took us a about 10 minutes to pick out all that we wanted to order and try a few dishes. Food was good full of spice and flavor just right to enjoy all of it. Be nice if they had better pictures of all their menu on the wall some people buy by what they see. But will have to come back again to try what I have not had.

Local round the corner type of joint with the best authentic Jamaican cuisine! Pros: food the menu is simple typical Jamaican common dishes but flavorful, price, portions.. It's like mama is back there cooking it all! Cons: no dine in option too small, location & no parking. I recommend it! I'm a big fan of "mom & pops" joints strictly for the authenticity of the cuisine..you loose that in chain restaurants.

This is a neighborhood place for me (which makes it extra, extra special - I love supporting my community spots) .... and this is a real pleasure for sure!!! What I love about Pimento Grill is their hefty portions and "tasty" vegetarian options, my favorite, the vegetable Roti! (along with fried Plantain, rice and peas, steamed vegetables on the side..... for me this can last me for 3 meals!). So, the price is right, and the portions are generous.

KUDOS! to the wonderful staff there, always a smile and fast service - but note, folks in the area love this place, so be prepared for "some crowds some times"! As some other contributors have shared, its best TAKE OUT (you can eat there, but its very tight and usually always a good crowd waiting for pick-up).

MY ADVICE - CALL YOUR ORDER IN FIRST ... and then go pick it up. (and don't forget to try the Sorrel and Ginger beer). Highly recommended for good soul food!
