What Our Guests Are Saying

There’s nothing we love more than hearing from the folks who’ve made Queen G’s their home away from home. Here are a few of their stories and why they keep coming back for more. 

Brittany J.

Absolutely amazing. The oxtail was the best I’ve ever had. We had natural fruit smoothies that were so refreshing and delicious. Highly recommended for an authentic Jamaican meal. The queen gave us some of her coconut drops to try and they’re so DELICIOUS! Must try 10/10!

Young S.

My birthday vacation was 5 days. Out of all the places I’ve eaten in Jamaica I find myself back here…every time. I went to Scotchies, I went to Pork Pit and Smokeez. Nothing beat this place. Warm and welcoming. Jerk sauce custom made by 2 chefs, each giving it their own style which both are top tier. Next time m
In Montego Bay I will be stopping in to see the family over at Queen G’s. Respectz

David R.

Amazing location especially for corporate clients seeking to get away from the office...we loved it.

Authentic Jamaican Oxtail: What Makes It So Special?

Authentic jamaican oxtail

Jamaican oxtail is one of those dishes that visitors never forget and locals love deeply. Rich, savory, slow-cooked, and full of flavor it’s a meal that instantly feels like home.

But what exactly makes Jamaican oxtail so special?

Let’s dive in.


1. The Slow-Cooking Tradition

Jamaican oxtail isn’t a “quick meal.”

It’s simmered for hours with:

  • Fresh herbs

  • Browning

  • Pimento

  • Garlic

  • Scotch bonnet

  • Butter beans

Slow cooking allows the meat to become tender and the gravy to develop that signature depth and warmth.


2. The Flavor Profile Is Unmatched

Oxtail is celebrated for its rich, silky texture. Every bite brings together:

A close-up bowl of Jamaican oxtail in rich brown gravy, with tender meat, fresh herbs, scotch bonnet slices, and creamy butter beans, steaming and glistening on a rustic wooden table.
  • The sweetness of caramelized brown sugar

  • The warmth of fresh herbs

  • The spice of Scotch bonnet

  • The creaminess of butter beans

It’s comfort food with soul.


3. It’s a Cultural Dish With Heart

A Jamaican family gathered around a table sharing a large pot of oxtail and other traditional dishes, smiling and enjoying a warm, celebratory meal together.

Ask any Jamaican, and they’ll tell you:
Oxtail is a “get-together dish.”

It brings families together on weekends, appears at celebrations, and is often the first dish recommended to visitors looking for “real Jamaican food.”


4. Where to Try Authentic Oxtail in Montego Bay

person eating food

Montego Bay has many great spots, but if you want oxtail cooked the traditional way slow-simmered, seasoned deeply, and served with love look for local courtyard restaurants rather than major chains.

If you’re in the Rose Hall, Ironshore, or Seacastles area, Queen G’s is a convenient and popular spot to try authentic Jamaican oxtail served fresh in a casual outdoor setting.


Travel Tip: Go Early

Oxtail is a fan favorite and it often sells out!
If you're planning to try it, go earlier in the day to avoid missing out.
