- CSCoach Shah’2 days ago5.0This is my 5th order! I’m a pescatarian and only order the seafood. Jerk shrimp was good, salmon was good and the whiting was decent. I’ve only ordered the Mac and cheese, yams and peas and rice. All bomb. Today I ordered again the salmon but baby… today was different, more flavor and cooked to perfection. This price of salmon looked like smoked ribs. IJS… very good service and the owner is very nice. I love supporting my Black Owned Business. I’ll be back.
- TLTariq LaCourtJul 2, 20265.0An amazing restaurant with amazing food and service! You feel taken care of and the food will always hit the spot. Jerk tacos were amazing!!!
- EMebony mincerJun 26, 20265.0I had the pleasure of trying Exotic Eats Soul Food during a Bloom Picnics event, and I was truly impressed! Every dish was full of flavor, fresh, and cooked to perfection. You can really taste the love and care that goes into the food. The presentation was beautiful and everything I tried was absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for authentic soul food that leaves you wanting more, I highly recommend Exotic Eats.
- TNTaneja NaiJun 20, 20265.0The food was beyond delicious! The mac and cheese was super cheesy and seasoned to perfection. The chicken was fried hard just the way I like it, and the house sauce was absolutely immaculate. Now the blueberry cornbread... THAT'S A MUST-TRY! The macaroni tuna salad was amazing, and the green apple lemonade was so fire. This place definitely earned every bit of their 5 stars. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. They didn't miss on a single item. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving them a try!
- KMKeigon MartinJun 15, 20263.0I ordered online, directly from the exotic website. I was 1.3 miles away from the store and my delivery took roughly 30 minute or longer. When I got the food my fist impression was why is the bag so light? I opened my meal, and it looked attractive 😋 so tried the rice first, omg I was disappointed 😞 too soft and little peas, tasted like frozen rice when reheated. Then I tried the broccoli, smh 🤦 no flavor 😒 now for the jerk chicken bits, I call it bits because they were cut too small. However it was the one good tasting thing 😋 👌 just the size cuts were too small. Also I didn't get a set of cutlery, only a fork and it wasn't wrapped or packaged. Hence I rate this restaurant at a 3. I'll try it again and let you know. I like the jerk chicken. I heard their Mac and cheese is good so I'll try it and let you all know.
