Cool Runnin's Caribbean Cuisines: Authentic Jamaican Flavors Await

It’s mainly a takeout place. It has a small counter like dine in area but only has four seats. It has the best jerk chicken in town and that’s all I ever had here. It also serves curry dish, snapper, and goat and oxtails for the adventurous ones. An order comes with rice and bean, cabbages, and plantain. It also has patties but those run out fast.

Cool Runnin's has been in New Brunswick for quite a long time. This restaurant has a great menu of Jamaican food and even sells cocoa bread. the curry goat is one of the dishes I really enjoy. It is not super spicy. The jerk chicken here is always on point and it tends to be a tad spicy. Although, I love spicy food so it doesn't bother me. The peas and rice are super flavorful and the Jamaican patties are great for breakfast or dinner. This place is truly a hole in the wall so don't expect modern comforts. You just order your food and go. All of the stars are really for the food and service, not necessarily the atmosphere as it is a tiny little restaurant. Given the size there is no accessible bathroom facilities. Parking is available on the street with a few spots for disability parking. If you want faster service call ahead.

Very fresh , love the taste . My whole family LOVED IT. we will be back… curry chicken , curry goat , oxtail ROTIS 10000/10!! Brown stew !! Fire !!!.

Man!!! I’m from Texas and was working at the hospital nearby. The food was amazing, the brown stewed chicken was cooked to perfection. I substituted the rice and peas for Mac and Cheese, the gravy on top of the Mac… IMMACULATE!!!!! I’m saving this place in my archives!!! Salute #texaslove

The workers are very nice . The price is reasonable but the food needs a little more flavor . I will go back

Contrary to other reviews, the service we received was friendly and helpful. As for the food, it was tasty. Now everyone doesn’t have the same palate so I understood where some folks felt like the food lacked flavor. I don’t think it lacked flavor, I feel it just didn’t give that spice kick that ppl may have wanted. However, you can’t please everyone and restaurants have to abide by certain guidelines and consider patrons health. So on that note I would recommend this place to others and continue to patronize. Btw, their prices are equivalent to other places I have been. So not extreme, just competitive!

I haven’t been here is a long time but I was in the area at my doctors office today & I wanted some Jamaican food… nice young male at the counter took my order , I got a small curry chicken for 13, not a bad price and it was alot of food …. It was delicious! Will be returning soon , this is the best Jamaican restaurant in the area to me

So... Very... Satisfying! Had the oxtails. Was at Rutgers book store around the corner. Can't wait to go back. The proprietor told me they had been there 15 years. I happily understand why.
