GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR MONEY! We have been coming here for 3 years and have never been disappointed. This truly is where Caribbean and soul food meets. The portions are generous and the flavors are incredibly authentic AND to die for. Thankfully we live about 45 minutes away or I'd be 400 pounds. The sweet heat salmon, rice and peas and collards are my personal favorite, but we've made our way through the menu and truly love everything! Please support this amazing local business and give this amazing place a whirl! WE LOVE BOOBY'S KITCHEN (and Ms. Booby )

A great discovery today in Jacksonville! First time here but it won't be the last! I tried the jerk chicken and my husband tried the jerk chicken rasta pasta... chicken was fall-off-the-bone delicious! I had 2 sides with mine... plenty of food! The service was so welcoming and made you feel at home. Highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed!

We were leaving once upon a child and had packed the kid in his cars eat already when my husband and I smelled something AMAZING and I just KNEW it was from boobys kitchen. So we walked in and asked what was cooking and he listed a few things they had cooking. Ordered the jerk chicken with collards, beans and rice and mac and cheese and KSBEJANAHEJWQK SO GOOD. I had never tasted these flavors before!!!! Coming back and trying everything on the menu for sure. The restaurant itself is really nice as well. Love the vibe of the place and everyone working here was warm and welcoming. Felt right at home. MAN this place is amazing, wish I came here sooner.

Booby is beautiful inside and out! You can tell she really cares about her restaurant and its customers. She knows a lot of them by name. She's very attentive and accommodating. The food is amazing! The taste and quality is consistent. Definitely some of the best jerk chicken I've had and I've tried a fair share coming from NY/NJ. Portions are good and she also offers free refills on her lemonades and juices, which I thought was very generous since I believe they are made in house. Go here! You'll never regret it.

DELIVERED! Absolutely wonderful conversation and food. I got the curry chicken and she made it spicy for me when I asked. The Mac and cheese was phenomenal. I wish I got a picture but I reacted too quickly when the food arrived. If you're looking for a good drink, the cola champagne is a mixture of cream soda and banana soda. Don't knock it til you try it. If you're into supporting local, support Booby. In case you're wondering, it is true
