Eddy's Jerk Center

Tonight (12-28-24) was my first time eating at Eddy’s. I arrived approximately 7:30ish. I am basing my opinion on my experience only. When I arrived there was a gentleman cleaning up a bit. He welcomed me in immediately and apologized that the place wasn't organized due to him cleaning up. That didn’t bother me at all. In fact I like a restaurant that the workers make it their business to provide a clean environment for their customers. The restaurant isn’t huge in my opinion. In fact I thought of it as quite nice and cozy. However the place was filled with things that resemble the Jamaican culture. The restaurant has a large selection of beverages and bakery goods such as bread, bun, crackers etc. The menu was off to the right side of the wall and appeared to be visible. I was then greeted by a lovely lady. I asked if she had oxtails and she said yes. She offered small, medium, and large plate sizes. She made me a medium plate with oxtails, cabbage, rice and peas, and plantains. When I got home, I started to eat my food of course. The plate was heavy to say the least. This is the first restaurant that is NOT afraid of giving you what you need. There was a generous amount of oxtail on the plate. I asked for gravy and she gave me lots. The food was amazing. The oxtail came off the bone as soon as I picked one up. The food was fresh, and very filling. The rice and peas and cabbage did not disappoint me. I could taste the rich spices and flavorful ingredients. I definitely will be returning back to Eddy’s. I can’t wait to try the goat and jerk chicken. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for real authentic Jamaican cuisine.

There are these tiny, unexpected places that have massive presence. This is one of them. The jerk chicken (rice & peas, and plaintain) was excellent.

The best jerk chicken I've ever had, wonderful people, fresh food, and flavor for days

Ordered medium oxtails. They were nice and tender, tasty and nicely flavored. Cartilage was nice and easy to take off the bone.

After moving up to Dutchess County from Mount Vernon, NY I miss having access to go to White Plains Road, Bronx to be able to get my fixin on some Jamaican food. So when I saw the 'Jamaican Food' sign driving through Newburgh, I parked and ventured in. I am very—very glad that I did. The Jerk Chicken dinner ($10 medium) was HUGE. (I ate 2 filling meals from it.) And here is the important part... this is not like many other spots that call it Jerk Chicken and just grill some chicken with Jerk BBQ sauce, No. The Jerk chicken I ate was seasoned through and had a nice level of heat to it. I most certainly will be back!
