Ruby's Jamaican Kitchen 2817 Schooley Drive, Alexandria, VA 22306

"It’s very clean and simple. It met my expectation of a good Jamaican restaurant. They offer great military discount. The food is delicious and they give you a great amount."

"The jerk salmon is AMAZING. Every time I visit the area, I make sure to stop by Ruby’s for this dish. I get it with plantain, collards, and cabbage. Hits the spot every time. Not ideal to dine-in with a large group, but the staff is wonderful and the service is great."

"We catered from Ruby's and the food was good. My staff who never experienced Caribbean food went back for second and third helpings quite early which is a good sign the food was liked. Oxtail was tasteful as well curry chicken. The staff really enjoyed the jerk chicken. Mac and cheese complimented the flavor of the entire meal. Ruby's did not disappoint. The price was reasonable and management did an amazing job making sure we were satisfied. We will definitely order from this establishment again."

"I was a bit shocked to walk in and NOT have a Jamaican lady yelling at me for my order BUT instead was greeted with a friendly space and welcoming atmosphere! The folks here are really nice and the food is absolutely delicious. As a caterer I’ve made plenty of curry goat and this one is spot on. Flavors of thyme and ginger and allspice all on point. The jerk chicken was truly grilled to perfection, so good it didn’t even need sauce! The patties were a great treat too while we waiting about an hour for our food. We ordered four plates, escovich salmon, two curry goat, one jerk chicken and 16 jerk wings at 5:30pm on a Saturday so it took a minute to get our food. The service was great, but it took a little longer than expected. This place must be the spot because customers did not stop flowing in! They are hiring if you might want to help they could use more servers and cashiers! Only thing I wish I could try was the sorrel, but they didn’t have any when we got there. Great food! Kind folks! Excellent authentic Jamaican flavors!"

"MEAT ONLY FOR $14. I am so disappointed in this dish because I had such high hopes. They're oxtails are delicious. I had their curry goat, which was delicious. And their greens are the best greens I think I've had an a very long time. But these jerk ribs, they're not worth the price. Yes, the seasoning is there but you can't charge people $14 for 4 skinny bones, you really can't. I'm glad I got 2 portions. The second portion was not that great but the first portion was horrible. If it wasn't for me being displaced and having my Insurance Company reimburse me for the food I eat, I would have had to return this. It's not worth $14. I know times are hard, but I do better,. I can get a 1/2 rack jerk ribs across the bridge for about $17 and the ribs are larger."
