  Here’s a polished, high-impact review you can post: ⸻ I finally got to try Exotic Eats and I’m honestly blown away. My boyfriend ordered the oxtails with collard greens and mac & cheese, and I went for the $8 special—2 pieces of fried chicken, 2 fried shrimp, and mac & cheese with garlic parm sauce drizzled over everything. Let me just say… the oxtails were INSANE. Super tender, falling off the bone with every bite. You can tell they’re cooked with real care. My chicken and shrimp were seasoned perfectly—crispy, flavorful, and not greasy at all. That garlic parm drizzle took everything to another level. And the peach exotic lemonade? Absolute perfection. Refreshing, not overly sweet, just right. We literally drove all the way from Allentown, PA for this, and I’d do it again without hesitation. There’s nothing even close to this level of soul food back home. 100/10—HIGHLY recommend. This place is the real deal.

  This is first time having their food and it was amazing. We are Jamaican born/raised and southern roots since being in the states and very particular about food. We give it 9 across the board. The one reason we didn’t give a 10, the collards and whiting fish were a bit salty. But other than that, chefs kiss. No complaints otherwise. My teenage son, devoured his oxtails, rice/beans and Mac n & cheese. He had the nerve to ask me to order another meal. No man, no sir, not today. Next time. Thank you, for great food, quick service. 💜

  tasty and filling jerk, chicken tacos, which were reasonably priced. The oxtail meal though, was way too expensive for what it is. It was 80% fat and 20% actual meat. For almost $35, that’s not worth it. Stick to the jerk chicken tacos for a better bang for your buck. that being said, the mac & cheese and yams were very good.

  I usually order delivery, and the food is always good. Sometimes it can be a little too salty for my diet, but overall I would still recommend it. Definitely try the Macaroni and cheese, Collard greens, and Cornbread 👌🏾👌🏾. One time they forgot one of my items, but they made it right by giving me wings, a drink, and the missing item. 10/10 customer service! ⭐️✨

  OMGoodness!!!!! Where do I start? First off 10/10 would recommend!!!! Been here 3x already and all 3 times has been nothing but greatness! Our first time we met Yami and she was wonderful and helpful! The food was great! 2 time, we ordered from online but when picking up we were remembered! Food was great! 3x we met the owner Yancie and was just fantastic! Truly down to earth! And the food was GREAT! So overall we’re just happy we came across this restaurant! So far we got the sweet chili chicken, bbq chicken, cayman sauce chicken, mac and cheese, yams, collard greens, oxtails with the pasta, blueberry cornbread, banana pudding cheesecake.
