Rice: I feel like I'm eating clove by the spoon. That's ALL it taste.

Chicken: well cooked, but dry. Barely any taste

There's 2 things that wants to be called plantin in there, but it simply should not exist.

No sauce, no nothing. Everything is just very dry. The chicken pate was VERY good tho, but still very little chicken and way too much pastry.

Jermaine is amazing. I requested a special order for Thanksgiving and he was so accommodating.

Food was on point, service was a little average as I had repeat my order a few times (1 jerk chicken and 3 patties) and the person at the counter almost forgot 3/4 of my order until I reminded him.

The food at this restaurant is by far the worst food I have ever tasted.
The attendant at the cash was very pleasant and accommodating, the bathroom was half decent but the food was really awful.

Ma que se passe t'il Boom J's? Nos deux plats étaient tout simplement horribles! Nous avons été malades pendant 2 jours. Pas mangeable, très très mauvaise expérience, je n'ai jamais eu ça de ma vie.

J'adore aller dans ce restaurant parce que la nourriture est sublime et exquise. Par contre, je n'ai pas du tout apprécié le dernier accueil reçu par le caissier, aucun sourire, aucune gentillesse, on devrait être servis par des jamaïcains, ils sont beaucoup plus irie, friendly et connaissent leurs produits. Je n'ai pas aimé l'ambiance froide. Je ne vais pas m'empêcher d'y retourner puisqu'à Montréal, il n'y a, selon moi que deux endroits où la nourriture jamaïcaine est excellente. J'ai vécu en Jamaïque, je sais de quoi je parle. Merci à l'excellent cuisinier!

We came from Toronto and The images online of the Ackee and saltfish are not the same in-person!

The ackee and saltfish was brought out the kitchen from being frozen in a bucket and put in the hot table as though it was made fresh. I was not impressed.

My boyfriend and I decided to not get anything because we were so appalled (Ackee n saltfish should be made fresh, it is one of the fastest dish to make)

We will not be returning ever!

I have to change my glowing review from three years ago. I don't know what happened but this is NOT the Boom J's I have been ordering since it opened. Crunchy rice, tough beef, different sauce, all add up to disappointment. Wife ordered oxtail and got 2 pieces of meat. Prices went up plus it's no longer tax included which drives the price up another 15%. The price goes up and the quality goes down. The hallmark of a business that stopped caring for it's loyal long time customers. Maybe opening a second location wasn't the best idea? I am changing my 5 star review to a 2 star review. C'mon Jermaine! Step it up man!

Changed from a previous 3 star review noting that the restaurant was very inconsistent with food quality.

I take that back, I've continued ordering and havn't received a bad meal in a while.

They definitely listened to customers and upped their game. Some of the cheapest and best food you can find around.

I typically have the Jerk Chicken, however I tried the beef stew and it was incredible.kudos to you guys

Boom J's Cuisine cooks absolutely amazing food and unlike a lot of restaurants out there boom J's actually pays attention to there customers and there dietary needs

Manque de professionnalisme des plus total. Ils ont annulé ma commande à 19: 50 (ferme à 20: 30) alors que j’avais commandé à 19: 00…

Leçon à retenir, le restaurant ferme à 20: 30 mais à partir de 19: 00 ils ne travaillent plus.

I was in the "Stade Olympique " and i wait for receive my food two hours. The restaurant doesn't give us ans patties or drink for the fact that we waiting so long.
When I receive my food it was so Cold and they cute the chicken in small pieces. I receive like a spoon of chicken. I regret to waiting so long for this food. Anybody deserve a treatment like that.

This is not the same place as before Covid. It's totally different taste totally different. I don't know if it was sold or not but it's not the same the oxtail that I order it's not that dark brown gravy. It's really a light brown. It has no Jamaican authentic flavor whatsoever. The rice and peas were also not good and I'm just giving it a zero out of 10 I couldn't even finish it. The ox tails were mostly bone very little meat on the rocks to just overall disappointed. I will not be returning it's just not the same.

La viande et les bananes plantain étaient bonnes, mais le riz était vraiment pâteux et sans saveur.
16 June 2023 17:42
Oxtail is one the most expensive meals on the menu, I got two orange coloured oxtail & a whole a lot watered down sauce and carrots. For the price & the expectation of Boom J’s they should be embarrassed to say you serve some Caribbean cuisine. They juice though 10/10

This place has the best jerk chicken in the city.

The jerk wraps, jerk plates, roti, oxtail, plantains, juices, and so much more are outstanding. They truly put love into all their dishes, and you feel it in every bite.

The owner is a joy to talk to and see in action. Either on the smoker at the restaurant or behind a booth at a montreal event, the owner is always smiling and motivated to spread love through food.

The only gripe I have is that when you order, the consistency is off. Some ingredients may be missing, or it's not as cooked or bones will be in your wrap. The food and service are outstanding when in person but need to be worked on delivery orders.

The place is truly a Montreal gem and a must have for anyone who may be visiting.

The ordering process was a little messy, BUT the food was very flavourful and filling. Good portion size with a good amount of meat, rice & beans, slaw and plantains. The chicken patty was also really good and was huge. Everything was a good deal for your money and you’ll definitely get a satisfying meal! One of the best Jamaican food places in Montreal!

One of the chefs was also smoking their meats outside the store which added to the atmosphere. When I got off the bus, I smelt really good barbecue and as I walked closer to the store, I realised it was Boom J’s. Amazing

Always delicious food! Jerk chicken and Curry Goat are on point. The service was super fast as well!

The food was good enough. However, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. It did not taste like authentic Jamaican food. I got the curried goat, and the potatoes had just been chopped in two. The plantains were also fried crisp. I tried a patty as well in order to decide if I would buy a box of 25 to go, but it was not tasty at all. It was really dry and the filling was.questionable.

Small, cramped place with a few bar stools for seating and some odd looking storage that's visible from the waiting area. I ordered the oxtails and curry goat. The meat was very tough. The rice was undercooked, scorched and dry. The portions are big but the food is terrible! Don't waste your time!
08 April 2023 8:15
Great food, generous portions, and fair prices. The jerk chicken is amazingly flavorful and the oxtail is even better the next day!

Excellent restaurant, nous avons de la chance de vous avoir à la Pointe! Les jus de fruits sont très bons. Nous avions pris poulet jerk et wrap et nous nous sommes régalés! Merci

Reallly good curried goat. No dry. Not tough. Rice was perfect also.not dry! (not too salty.that was appreciated). The large was so large. It was 2 meals
2 minutes drive from the Costco. Easy street parking.
