I opted for the vegetable patty, which was served with a side of rice and peas and a delicious mango salsa. The patty was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a flavorful blend of spices that was both aromatic and delicious. The rice and peas were perfectly cooked, and the mango salsa added a sweet and tangy touch to the dish.

I was also impressed by the portion sizes, which were generous and filling without being overwhelming. The prices were also very reasonable, making Boswell's Jamaican Grill a great value for the quality and quantity of food you receive.

I love goat, so upon researching the reviews for Boswells it looked as though their curry goat plate would be a good choice. It ended up not being a good choice. Oddly it tasted the way a strong body soap would smell. Just to make sure it wasn't my taste buds being off I had my 3 friends who were with me try it, and they all agreed that it was not enjoyable or edible, that the flavor was similar to that of soap. I kindly went up to the older gentlemen behind the counter and showed him my uneaten plate, I let him know that maybe the cook had made some type of mistake with the ingredients for the day. That the plate had strong reviews online, but that day something must have been off. I was hoping to give them the benefit of the doubt. He just looked at me and my uneaten plate and said "okay". I then proceeded to throw the full $18 plate of food away in front of him. He just watched me and said nothing. I stayed with my friends talking at the table for another 30 minutes, not once did I hear an offer to get us another plate, a refund, that he had investigated what may have been the problem, nor an apology, the only thing he ever said to me was "okay". Any good business owner knows its better to lose a dollar than a customer. Customer service experience here is bogus. Not sure how a business owner feels taking someone's money for something they could not consume. Boswells lost 4 customers, my friends and I won't be back here. As for the rest of our order my friends all got the jerk chicken, they had no complaints but it wasn't to-die-for. I'm sure there are much more enjoyable and tasty jamaican restaurants in the city, and with much...

I called to place an order, a man answered the phone and said something, I assumed asking me to hold. However, I could still hear the phone faintly. After 5 minutes I said “hello” a few times, no response so I hung up. I saw GrubHub was offering a discount and ordered through there for pickup.

I ordered the brown stew chicken and oxtail with mac and cheese and rice and beans and a side of plantains.

I arrive before my food was ready, the gentleman at the counter said my food was not ready so I waited. About 10 minutes later he comes over with my food. I head to the car and open to eat it to realize there were no plantains. I went inside and asked. He said they were out, I asked for a refund, he said they don’t do refunds and to call GrubHub.

While eating I realized the side of steamed vegetables were the sub for the plantains except I was there and he could have asked what I wanted to replace the plantains. I would NOT pay $5 for steamed vegetables, which they decided they could just change my order. I also only received one SMALL piece of oxtail, barely any mac and cheese, the chicken was not tender.

The food is not nearly good enough to endure the awful customer...
