Quality food, quality service. Generous portions. Great location. Price is right. Only thing I regret is taking so long to walk in here. I had the oxtail with rice & peas & the steamed veggies. Poppin! Looking forward to trying the jerk chicken next time. Thanks Top taste!

I love the authentic Jamaican food. It reminded me of the time I spent in Ocho Rios. The workers are friendly, professional, and make you feel like family. I highly recommend it.

We just had one of the best meals ever at Top Taste. You can smell the grill from the outside and once inside, the smells of the food are incredibly mouthwatering. We ordered the jerk chicken, curry chicken, beef patty, and jerk pork. The … More

I love living so close to this place. I almost never want to move because I’d hate to not be walking distance from them anymore. The food is comforting, truly feels as if a friend has made you a meal. I highly recommended all their fish dishes! They buy them from the city fresh every morning!

The building is fairly simple and parking felt like a challenge to interpret the signs... it's also about 10 degrees warmer inside than out. All that considered, I'd put up with a lot more for another plate of curry goat. I wasn't expecting … More

Now there is Jamaican food and there is food that claims to be but doesn’t put in the hours or days into the layers of flavors. Let me start off by saying the shop is on an unassuming corner store which from the outside reminds me of … More
