Meme's Jamaican Restaurant 46 William Street, Newburgh, NY 12550

"Listen my ppl please don’t waste your time. All Jamaicans have attitudes when you walk in that’s a given but you expect the food to be at least tasteful. It was horrible no taste. I asked for a small stew chicken with rice and beans and a small and beans with oxtail gravy because I just wanted rice. The total was $17. How?!! One small order didn’t even have meat. It taste like oil. I’m a Jamaican. I did not feel like cooking the only reason why i went there was because A&M’s was closed! I should’ve just starved myself tonight. What a waste of money and time! Never again! The people that are saying it’s good I would never eat at your house. You don’t know how to cook. Don’t go there. I beg of you!"

"Poor service. They ALWAYS cancel my simple orders HOURS before they close. It’s a waste of my time and now I have to wait for the money that was meant for my dinner to process back into my account. Of the 3 times I’ve ordered, only 1 was actually delivered to me and it wasn’t even fresh and was mainly bone. I understand that bone = flavor, but I’m paying to get some meat, too."

"I went to Meme's one evening and ordered the Jamaican stewed chicken with peas, rice and cabbage. When I got home - I noticed the chicken tasted like it was grilled then put in a pot with the fresh ingredients to create the stewed chicken. The chicken was hard and not tender and moist. I was disappointed because I have gone to other Jamaican spots is the city and their stewed chicken was spot on! Otherwise the food was good. And lastly, they need to work on their peas and rice. They need to add a little more cream of coconut to the water and seasonings. It is a little bland."

"Just ordered take out last night for the 1st time. Read the reviews about the staff being rude, and im gonna have to disagree with those thoughts. Food was absolutely great, and can't wait to go back again. Had the patties, rasta pasta, jerk chicken and Mac n cheese. Thumbs up on all! Very friendly to this guy. Will give it a 5 star review after our next positive visit. Which will be soon!"

"I have to give this place a thumbs up! Excellent food and always fresh. You just can’t beat it. From the fried chicken, jerk chicken, goat or ox tail, all are absolutely delicious!!!! Williams St has a gem! Go check it out."
