Mercy’s Jamaican Kitchen

Yum yum! Soo good, too bad Columbus doesn’t have more restaurants like this! I recommend jerk or curry chicken, plantains Mac and cheese and the uniquely delicious corn muffins. Very good cuisine

Best food ever. Doesn’t matter if you’re getting a beef patty to ox tails, they are the best.

Delicious!!! Delightful!!! And decadent!
Very authentic place. I ordered the of tail and the meat literally fell off the bone. My husband ordered the curry chicken and it was just as satisfying. The food comes out at perfect temperature and the wait time is less than 7 minutes.
Good atmosphere and very good customer service.
One of my new faves

Jerk pork was amazing. Atmosphere was friendly and inviting. Definitely worth checking out.

This is by far the best Caribbean Resteraunt in the entire area. The jerk chicken and pork was amazing and they treat their customers like true family. I went there for dinner last night and it looks like I’m going back for dinner tonite! Every time I go to Tia pale it just gets better and better!

We didn’t expect it to look nice on the inside because the outside is a little shabby. The service is great and food was too. I ordered the jerk wings on a bed of rice, plantains, and Mac and cheese. EVERYTHING on the plate as delicious!!! My husband had curry goat, cabbage, and roll. His was good too. I also like the fact that they had beverages from Jamaica as well. Ginger pineapple drink? YES!

The food here is amazing. I had the of tails and the curry chicken. OMG!!! I’m surprised I still have all my fingers.

Mercy’s has the best Oxtails!!! So delicious!!! The cornbread too! Everything is Real island flavor! Love it!

Amazing homemade style food I go at least once a week — every thing I have tried is so good. Call ahead for the fried fish! Also love the curry chicken and curry goat — yum yum. Beef patties are spicy and they have Ting!

The rice and peas were good. Tasty. The plantains very good. The slaw/​house special salad was ok, probably won’t have it again. The brown stewed chicken was very good, but the oxtail was tough and a disappointment. I hope it was just an off day and not the regular way it’s cooked, since oxtail is my go to dish wherever its on the menu. The flavor was good, the gravy good, I just wish the oxtail was tender like its supposed to be.

Got the jerk chicken wings today, food was little cold but other than that the food was very good, tried one of there beef patty’s too and it was good. Been there more than 6x now I will be going back for sure

Don’t be whimpy, try the curry duck. They will do a double meat dish with the jerk chicken too. Worth every penny! I’m an oxtail fan myself, but that’s only because I love GAPS and Nourishing Traditions Diets. I have to admit thought I did break my six months without wheat to try their dumplings with the national dish of salty fish.

Excellent!

Went here 3x’s so far. The service is pretty decent. They prepare the food quickly. The jerk chicken and oxtails are wonderful. The curry chicken… not much. They give you a lot. I always save leftovers for later. The rice is ok too. The cabbage isn’t very flavorful though. I still like the food overall though.

The place doesn’t look like much, but the food is awesome. I got the jerk chicken lunch special with macaroni and a corn muffin. The chicken is so tender and flavorful and it comes with rice which is delicious with the spices from the chicken. It’s some of the best chicken I’ve ever had without a doubt. The macaroni is surprisingly good as well. Not the best I’ve ever had, but certainly good. The corn muffin is homemade (unlike the rolls — at least I think, anyway) and it’s very good. I had the sweet tea, but I definitely don’t recommend it as it’s pretty bad. I just get water instead now.
Anyway, if you like tasty food then I recommend checking this place out.

Every once in a while you run into a place that is so different and unique that once you leave you think; «I gotta try that place again».
Mercy’s is such a place. Now I don’t know authentic Jamaican cooking from a hole in the ground, but this place charmed the hell out of me, I loved the food and the ladies behind the counter treated me like I was a relative. They had scratched a lot of the items off the menu because they had just returned from Florida. They did have Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken and Curry Shrimp. I opted for the Curry Shrimp with Macaroni and Cheese and Jamaican House Salad. With all of these, I found the dishes loaded with flavor and delicious. They have these bottles of Scotch Bonnet sauce which isn’t as hot as I thought they would be but really quite good.
The restaurant itself is kind of seedy but clean. About six tables in a small space. They don’t serve alcohol but I’m not sure if they have anything against a BYOB deal.
All in all, just a great place with great food. Truly a hidden gem. Only drawback is that they only prepare limited quantities of stuff, so when they’re out, they’re out!

I haven’t really eaten much from here, but I was in the mood for some beef patties for lunch one day so I dropped in. Well I was more than pleased! It was delicious! The crust was nice and flaky and the meat had just the right spiciness to it. Gotta go back for me!

Delicious! I love hole in the wall restaurants and this is a gem in Columbus! It’s a small restaurant with home cooked Jamaican food. I got the jerk chicken, rice and beans and steamed cabbage! This is a must try if you live in Columbus and you’re looking for a tasty lunch!

Food was on point, Way better than hot mess of a restaurant (call no name get no blame).

Yesterday was my first time eating here, and I must say that I was the opposite of disappointed. There was an older woman (who I assumes owns the place) who was very friendly when she greeted us. They have all the items they serve written on a dry-​erase board, so it took us a minute to pick what we wanted to eat. The woman recommended the rice and beans for me to try, and she walked in the back and made me a small plate for me to sample. Needless to say, I decided to get the rice and beans. I had the jerk chicken with rice and beans, cabbage, macaroni and cheese, Jamaican beef patty, and she even gave us a cornbread muffin to try for free! And I must say that her cornbread was like no cornbread I’ve ever tried before. It had kind of a sweet taste like carrot cake with corn pieces on the inside, and it was just absolutely delicious! It was the only meal I ate that day, and I was full for the whole day. I recommend that you visit this restaurant, you won’t regret it. Their hospitality alone would just make you want to come back again and again. :)
