Let me just say this is the ONLY Dutch pot I eat from and I’ve been eating from here for the pass THREE OR FOUR YEARS. And the food is always the same. I NEVER had any problems with the food or the staff. I order a mini brown stew lunch yesterday and a mild Jamaican beef patty. The lady at the window was so nice I’ve seen her plenty times and she’s always so nice. Older lady, but however the food I didn’t get a chance to eat it right away. With Mother’s Day being this Sunday I’ve been working and running around so I got home and knock out and put my food and the fridge because that’s just how tired I was my body was drained. I get up this morning and take my food with me to work warm it up on 5 minutes and the food still taste the same! No spoiled smelling food, no different taste, no problem my food is still good. I want to thank everyone at Dutch pot and also leave a message to continue serving people with love. Food is a serious thing and some people just don’t want to lose money and get rid of food. If you all are honest people from the food it’s pretty good just keep up the good work. ONE LOVE

Thank you to the two beautiful Jamaican ladies who served me around 11:41 am! I have been dealing with a painful cyst on my ovary and my tummy was upset with hungry. I told the nice ladies and they suggested DG Ginger Beer and the cashier made some ginger tea for me to drink after telling me it would help. It sure did and their exceptional better than all their competitors Oxtail , rice and peas, macaroni and cheese hit the spot! They made me feel how my son's Jamaican father's family treat me anytime over and when in their home. I love Jamaican food, but I love most is they know how to treat people! I always get good service at any Dutch Pot and cannot say that about other spots. Thank you Dutch Pot for amazing Oxtail that also had good meat on it and not just bone!

I absolutely love this place! The food is amazing, and the service is top-notch. My favorite is their 5.99 chicken special—it's a delicious curry chicken that’s packed with flavor. You really can’t beat the price for the quality you get. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. I’ll definitely keep coming back!

Favorite Jamaican Spot even though i would rather Uber Eats my food then order in person due to lack of customer service/hospitality.

During my visit to Fort Lauderdale in April 2025 to see family, I discovered the Dutch Pot restaurant, conveniently located within five miles of where I was staying. Over the course of two weeks, I found myself returning four or five times. Each visit confirmed the consistently delicious food and generous portions. Having grown up in Brooklyn, New York, I held the belief that the best Jamaican cuisine was exclusive to the state. However, Dutch Pot has proven me wrong. The food is undeniably the most flavorful I've encountered, and the customer service is exceptional – a true standout in my experience with Jamaican restaurants. Nearing 50, I had almost accepted poor customer service as the norm for Jamaican establishments. My experience at Dutch Pot, however, has shown me that excellent service is a conscious decision, not a standard to be avoided.
