“ A Hidden Gem for Authentic Jamaican Cuisine! I happened to stumble across this amazing family-owned Jamaican restaurant, and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home. The food? Absolutely incredible! The main dish was packed with authentic island flavors, and the side dishes were just as delicious—each one complementing the meal perfectly. What really stood out was the quality of the food at such an affordable price. It’s rare to find a place that serves hearty, flavorful, and well-seasoned meals without breaking the bank. The portions were generous, and every bite reminded me of the love and tradition that goes into real Jamaican cooking. If you’re looking for a spot that serves up delicious, home-cooked Jamaican food with great prices and friendly service, this is it. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! ”
“ Warm envying proprietor. Food was AMAZING I had curry shrimp, steamed cabbage, rice and peas, side order of oxtails and plantain. I’m stuffed beyond belief the flavors are so soulful with that definite Caribbean flare ....I don’t care for spicy food and I was able to eat EVERYTHING.... Madam’s food so good people by 2s and 3 of their favorites.... ”
“ My son Gio loves coming here. He always raves when he gets food here. He finally brought me to eat at Vibes and they did not disappoint. The food and service was great. I had the jerk chicken and it was full of flavor and the meat just melted off the bones. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other dishes. ”
“ Absolutely . Food is delicious, portions are huge; great food and great value. So far I've had the oxtail and the goat and both were insanely good. And they have cola champagne! Super legit. ”
“ As a mailman of Emmaus, I’ve eaten all over the area, and this place absolutely takes the cake. Some of the tastiest food I’ve ever had! The portions, the prices, the service, all of it is top notch. I’ve brought so many people to this place because everyone should try this experience. If you’re hard to spice, get the stew chicken, there’s something for everyone here and the people are truly wonderful loving people. ”
“ If you want authentic Caribbean cuisine Vibes doesn't fail to hit the spot. Right off of the main strip, you will see this small shop. It is surrounded by a few other decent options but LET ME TELL YOU it's worth the stop. I had some oxtail, cabbage, and rice. It came with the fried plantain. I paid for an extra side of Mac N Cheese. It was worth every penny. The oxtail wasn't just all bone either. They had some pretty hefty pieces of meat on them. Overall the vibe was good at Vibes! I cant wait to go back. ”
“ The food was AMAZING . So delicious my husband and dined here a few days ago and definitely recommend. The portions are huge and worth it. I had oxtail with Mac and cheese and rice. My husband had the goat curry with rice which was highly recommended by the hostess. We are not curry lovers however it was not at all what I thought it would be, it was so good. We also had jerk chicken which again was delicious. I think the only downside is the variety of drinks. Otherwise really enjoyed it here and would go back. ”
