Rootsman Kitchen - Jamaican restaurant in Bridgeport - 500 Park Ave, USA

Found my new go-to place for delicious Jamaican food. Had jerk chicken with rice and beans and cabbage. Got medium size portion for dinner, and was full. The chicken was soo good!! Can't wait to go back and try other dishes. Great friendly service! Easy to get to, right off the highway.

My second time patronizing but first time getting a fish for myself. The stew fish was great. The patty was moist, flaky and flavorful. The portion sizes were ample. There was a line inside, seems like they have a dedicated following. The old man up front was watching baseball game and I realized he may be the owner or somehow affiliated because when I asked what time they closed, a customer yelled out to him the inquiry and he answered. I get the feeling this is a family run business. I just moved to south end recently. Im finding the spots around here that thrive in the neighborhood, this seems to be one of them. The place was clean, decorated in proper theme. Parking is hit or miss. There's a lot of stores in this small shopping strip and very little parking. I was lucky to find a spot. This is probably a place I'll be walking to. The young register guy was personable, greeted me with a smile. Took my order and had my food ready in no time. The rice was good, the cabbage (salad) was seasoned well. I'll be back!

I have visited a couple times and the food is amazing for a great price. Staff is very friendly and efficient. Would recommend to anyone.

Call me crazy but if you’re incapable of changing your dying fire alarm’s battery, I doubt you’re capable of following the myriad of food safety standards. 95% rice, 4% sticks and bones.

We have been coming here for years. What I love most is how they treat us like family, especially my son. He looks forward to going each week.

1st. Time here and walking thru the door you get the smells coming from the back kitchen/ front where the food is just waiting for you to order it .. Ok so I ordered the brown stewed chicken with rice n beans and it is like everything right now as I dig into this dish .. They give you a good portion of food they are not shy with feeding you .. Everything is really good n flavorful I will be going back for other dishes price isn't bad either

First time having “breakfast” here and I should had just went to the place I normally go to on Boston avenue because the salt fish was undercooked, callaloo was crunchy and they had no dumplings… Waste of $17.00!!!

Food is really good but unfortunately it’s in the ghetto and they are not any delivery platforms.
