Ob's Jamaican Restaurant

The store is in Chester PA and I live in Philadelphia PA sadly enough when I arrived there were no more of what I wanted to order left. We chose another meal and we were satisfied, just sorry there were no more Wings left. We were referred by a friend so we were really looking forward to trying their wings, maybe next time.

OBs moved across the street into a nicer and newer building since I had last been there. Food is as good as it always was. Best jerk chicken I’ve had off of the island of Jamaica. It’s better than I remembered. The spicy is the right amount of heat and the seasonings are perfect. Beans and rice and cabbage sides are cooked perfect. I’m gonna drive 40 minutes to go get some more next week.

"New customer & First Impression Review." Nice family establishment. Customer service also nice. Now as for the food I gave OB's "1 stars ⭐" this was based on the taste, freshness of the food & my overall experience. I would've like to give 1 & a half stars but you can't give halfs & I definitely couldn't afford 2. I order a large oxtail platter for $17 it came with (2) sides and I chose cabbage & red beans & rice. I hadn't eaten all day so I quickly sampled the cabbage (my favorite side) before plating at home & immediately confused at how sweet it was; Hoping it was just a oddly sweet 1st bite I tried it again & the disappoint set in that the cabbage was ruined by the tremendous amount of sugar used. Hold tight as we're still kinda going down hill. The oxtails were pretty fatty & lacked that authentic Caribbean flavor. The oxtails kind of just tasted boiled with some seasonings but absolutely no herbs or spices could be detected. The red beans & rice was mediocre at best. I also ordered an additional side of cabbage because as I mentioned cabbage is my favorite side dish when ordering Caribbean food; Bad decision (extra $5 bucks down the drain). I order 2 beef patties & 1 chicken pattie. The patties were okay (see photos). Lastly I order a large coco bread which was probably the highlight of the entire order. This visit left a bad taste in my mouth & in my pocket as I now need to figure out another dinner option since we couldn't fill up on coco bread & a few meat patties. Needless to say revisiting OB's of Chester is out of the question. Overall my Fiancé & I were dissatisfied. This review is based on my Chester location experience. I have actually tried their Delaware location in the past & was really impressed at the authentic taste & flavors in their food. The Chester & Delaware locations are like night & day in comparison. Pssst 🗣: Hey OB, Send your Delaware cooks down to your Chester location to give them a few pointers.
