I called ahead of time to ask some questions about the foods they offered since I couldn’t find a menu online. The woman answered all my questions and even told me about the daily lunch special! When I got there, I let them know I called earlier and she remembered me and fixed my plate. Had no problem subbing extra vegetables instead of the rice.The place was clean and food was delicious.The curry goat is spicy while the ox tail is slightly sweet. The peas and rice are great but I love the cabbage the most!

Great place, friendly staff. Those girls in the front keep me coming back for more. I would say the BEST Jamaican restaurant in elmont New York.

Such a blessing to have this place nearby! Its a notch above the rest because the food is consistently fresh, never oily or dry or overly salty, but tender and seasoned with actual fresh herbs! My absolute favorite treat for a lazy weekend morning is some ackee or callaloo with salt fish and steamed root vegetables and a carrot ginger juice, but I also like the lunch which always comes early on UberEats. The actual restaurant is immaculately clean and orderly, making this a very trustworthy option for regular takeout for those of us who cant cook daily.

Love this restaurant!! Breakfast is always fresh and delicious! I’m addicted to their porridge and their homemade juices are on point! We always order through DoorDash or UberEats and never have an issue even when they don’t have something they call and work something out.

Listen, if you’re the craving good Jamaican food you have to check this restaurant out. I used to live nearby and would frequent the restaurant quite often for authentic Jamaican food. I’m Jamaican and I’m very selective of the Jamaican restaurants I visit. The food here is consistently good and fresh. The people who work at the restaurant are pleasant. Never had a bad experience yet.

This place is great. I have never been disappointed except when they are out of something. The jerk chicken as well as all the other staples have deep delicious flavor. Highly recommended.

Food consistently good, customer service, inconsistent. Typical Jamaican restaurant.

Very clean and welcoming inside. Only critique is they are stingy on the saltfish. I guess because it is so good you cant give too much away. Maybe offer an upcharge for more than 2 spoon scoops?

I’ve been ordering food through Uber eats and the food was so good I had to write a review. The food is always fresh great portions the food is delicious. It’s hard to find restaurants that deliver good food consistently but so far I’ve ordered from them 5 times and each time the food is better than the last

The food is great. I enjoy the porridge especially however one of the ladies have a major attitude problem. She shouldnt deal with customers at all. First impressions are lasting ones and for that I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

Food is descent... regular Jamaican food. Glad for those that had good customer service experiences. Unfortunately I didn’t. Guess if you don’t know what you want they spite you instead of telling you the options that they have available. Lady was so annoyed she didn’t even give me a fork.

Employees are rude as hell. Ordered food on Grubhub and they cancelled it after they accepted the order and told me they had nothing I ordered meanwhile they had served people the same things I ordered. Lady told me that the app has everything unavailable and when I showed her it doesn’t she continued to argue. Will never order again due to employee incompetence.

As good as it gets. You wont be disappointed. Money well spent. Good service although it could be better but overall, I go there often to eat some good Jamaican food. Note to the owner: please make sure your staff is always smiling, so far so good, please keep it up.

Standard Jamaican eatery with seasonal food options. Honest and helpful service staff. Prices are fair. You will be fed well here.

If you are looking for a large dinner that could at minimum serve two adults this is not the place to go. One large meal offers 2 drumsticks and a thigh for 13.00. Times are two hard to spend 13.00 on a large meal that feeds one person. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You have completely lost my buisness. Ive tasted better rice and peas also. You guys got a 1 from me.

The food was ok, but the wait was long only one person to take all orders including the phone orders which makes the lady make mistakes with the orders.

Carribean restaurants are haunted by the stigma of having some of the most terrible customer service.... NOT SO for the friendly faces of yard flavors... the food is absolutely delicious consistently, and the staff is always friendly. Any time Im nearby and am eager for some affordable, Good quality food, theyre my 1st choice.My hands down favorite dish is their stew peas on Wednesdays, but if you have a taste for something else, they have one of the best tasting oxtail for miles. My only issue is that if you get their too late, a lot of the best dishes are done :(.

I am now a convert. I used UberEats and my regular resturant was delving so I Went with Yard House becuase their delivery time was reasonable. The food was so tasty and just the right spice. The Jerk and Curry chicken was extra flavorful. Will be driving there in the future for takeout.

I’ve only tried their curry goat, jerk chicken, brown stew chicken and their oxtail. I didn’t care for their brown stew chicken, but everything else is okay. Personally I prefer Yardies on Elmont Rd., however I only go to Yard Flavors because it’s a few minutes walking distance from my job. Store is small, yet always clean. Workers are not so pleasant. I don’t think I’ve ever had a good customer service experience there. There’s no, “Hi, how are you?” Instead they say “who’s next?” and take your order. Unless your a frequent customer, don’t expect to get treated like a VIP. I honestly don’t care for the lady with the red braids, her vibe is unpleasant and she got a nasty attitude. Won’t be returning here.

Excellent jamaican spot in Nassau county. Plate was filled to the brim. The flavors were some of the best I’ve had outside of the carribean. My favorite is the curry goat, but the curry shrimp was also excellent. This is a small takeout with limited seating, only 3 tables, but worth the visit. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for jamaican takeout. Would visit again. Staff was super friendly. Thank you.

Had ackee and saltfish for breakfast. Food was delicious and not soaked in oil like Ive seen other at places. The service was friendly and professional unlike the other Jamaican restaurants around. I wish they had some beres playing in the background while I enjoyed my food. Id gladly drive past those other local spots with bad customer service to get some yard flavors for me and the family.
