This is my go to for Jamaican food in Pittsburgh. The portions are huge and the jerk chicken is my favorite. Also recommend trying some of the Jamaican sodas they have for sale too.

You might want to go here with the local swat team this is total Ghetto alley. The restaurant is not clean at all and the characters are … I’ll take mine to go please!

Tried this place for the first time, and the food was really good. I chose a non-spicy dish of chicken and rice, but there are spicier options available. They also have Jamaican Kola Champagne and it was delicious!

Wouldn’t have considered wandering into Wilkinsburg on my own as it’s a bit out of the way for me but when my friend recommended this spot after a good gym session I was totally for it. Totally divey yet, local spot but with absolutely delicious, authentic, well spiced food! I had the Jamaican style curry chicken over rice with a side salad. The rice soaked up the curry perfectly. Also, it leaves you fell and satisfied with I think is a better option than the«hungry for more salivation» I personally always regret the hour afterwards of incredible discomfort so this is perfect and will not be tainting your opinion for when you come again — you will come again. You will have a meal and a half with their portions, so ask for your meal in a to-go box no matter if you are dining in or not.

This restaurant was actually recommended to us by a Pittsburgh rap star. He said it was really good Jamaican food and he was absolutely right. I’m not really into spicy food so I refrained from getting anything curry. I ordered the chicken stew with rice and beans and salad. The chicken stew was absolutely amazing. It was so good that I actually got sleepy as soon as I finished lol. The prices were unbelievably cheap for the amount of food that you get. It’s definitely a great way to feed yourself if you’re on a budget. The quality of the food here is absolutely amazing. It’s a small mom and pop shop but do not be fooled by the look of this place. You’re gonna get your money’s worth.

This place should get some more attention. The surrounding area isn’t the most desirable, but it’s definitely a gem in the middle of a desert. The food rivals Impressionz in East Liberty. Service isn’t as good here, but they do open later and they have a bunch of Jamaican sodas and drinks. The brown sauce chicken and oxtail are both delicious. We got smalls, and they come with choice of peas and rice or white rice, plus a side of cabbage salad. For drink, I tried the pineapple guava juice – very sweet and tropical.

Had curry goat with rice and peas and cabbage. I also tried my friends Brown stewed red snapper it was delicious. My goat was tender and delicious as well. They didn’t have plantains but they had Kola champagne which is a delicious soda that taste like sweet cream soda. The service was fair. It was a little busy but handled well.

I love Jamaican food, so my taste buds were watering when someone suggested Fireside as the«go-to» spot for Jamaican food in Pittsburgh-WRONG! It was some of the worst food I have ever tasted. I didn’t mind the hole in the wall atmosphere, because some of the best Jamaican spots I’ve been to have been small. However, this spot missed the mark. I ordered ox-tails, rice and peas, and cabbage(I would have ordered plantains, but they didn’t have any). The rice and peas were mushy, the gravy was salty, and I received more bones than I did actual meat. The cabbage was really good though. The gentleman serving the food lacked customer service skills… and quite frankly, if I am going to spend $ 13 on some food… I could get a smile and a thank you. The next time I want Jamaican food, I will be going to the Royal Caribbean in East Liberty.

Ok, so I finally found a suitable Jamaican restaurant worthy enough of my review. I’ve tried Royal Caribbean in East Liberty and I have to give a C grade. Been that I’m from DC I’m used to A+ Jamaican but Fireside gets a B+. I had the Oxtail with rice and peas and it as a lot of food and very good. Its located in Wilkinsburg on Penn and Center st right across from the Historic Penn-Lincoln hotel which might be why you can never find it when you search for it on Unilocal.Their service was fast and courteous and very respectful. They only take cash which is ok because Pamela’s do the same thing. Overall I enjoyed the food. I know Wilkinsburg gets a bad wrap but don’t worry about the neighborhood, I’ve eaten in worse places in DC and most hole in the wall places make the best food. Check it out. I’m a Grad Student at Pitt so my word is golden. Have fun.
