Ok ladies and gentlemen!!! Let me just say for this to be my second choice for dining today it should’ve been FIRST on my list. This place was actually very good and reasonably priced. My server Jordan was A-1 spectacular he truly made me enjoy my experience so much more. Jordan explained the menu as this was my first time at the restaurant. He introduced me to my new fave drink. Don’t say I didn’t tell you, but that TING is hitting.. I happy danced my way through this entire meal. We had the brisket nachos, jerk wings, plantains and street corn. 10/10 chefs kiss we will be back
WoW! Lets start off with WoW as that is the word that comes to mind with the exceptional service I rcvd. Great service is extremely rare in Atlanta, good service can be had but Jouvert had exceptional service! As I was walking in a staff member was leaving at the end of her shift, she saw we were headed to the door, turned around and opened the door for us!!! WoW! That set the stage for an exceptional night of great service. The entire staff was simply amazing, Clive and I had a few minutes to chat and made us feel like he truly cared. He was extremely attentive and concerned for our needs. Our Waitress was Necia, she is to be commended I am a discerning client and notice small details when dining out. She was very professional, knew of the history and Origin and culture of the restaurant. She knew the menu well, and made a phenomenal truly exceptional rhum punch! The food was very good and the portion size was just perfect!! I look forward on a follow up visit!
I am so shocked in the top tier environment this place created, job well done for sure! Jouvert you have set the bar for how service is suppose to go! It felt like I was in the comfort of my own home! The shrimp and grits were amazing, really all the food was amazing but the shrimp and grits were probably the best in Atlanta!! I love it there and the servers, host, DJ were all amazing! Drinks top tier!!! This place is a hidden gem for sure!
This charming little spot is absolutely delightful, boasting not only an inviting atmosphere but also a menu filled with mouthwatering dishes. I recently visited during their happy hour, which takes place on Thursdays and Fridays from five to seven, and I couldn't resist indulging in the amazing five-dollar bites they offer. I made it my mission to sample every single item on the list, and I was not disappointed. The ambiance is perfect for a cozy date night or a fun girls' night out, and I was excited to learn that they now host a fabulous Sunday brunch. The rum punch was a standout – rich and authentic, with a flavor that transport you straight to the tropics. I wholeheartedly recommend making a trip for happy hour to try everything on the menu, and you might just want to return for a full meal as well, as this establishment truly deserves your business. I tried every item on the happy hour menu, and I confidently give each one a perfect five out of five. Everything was artfully prepared and thoughtfully presented, making my dining experience all the more delightful. Among the many delectable bites, my favorites were the beef patty, the flavorful fritters, and the street corn – which was simply phenomenal. The corn stood out for its unexpected coconut flavor, adding a unique twist that left me craving more. In short, everything was just delicious, and I can't wait to return!
I can always tell a great restaurant when I smell the aroma of food when I walk in! J'ouvert Caribbean Kitchen and Bar is actually COOKING, not warming up food, but COOKING! I am glad I returned and showed some restraint & took some pictures before I ate, LOL! 1. What 's not to love about fluffy pancakes with passion fruit and marscapone?! Rich without being overly sweet 2. Calypso chick and waffles - chicken is well seasoned chicken and waffle is perfect crisp. My friend ordered it our 2nd visit too & he destroyed this! Not one crumb left 3. Apps: - Fried corn on the cob is the app I didn't know I needed?! - Cornbread has jalapeño in it, however, it's not overwhelming spicy. The red sauce & sprinkled feta cheese balances it out 4. Liquor: - There's an assortment mimosas, we tried & loved traditional, passion fruit, lychee, Sorel, mango, etc. - Rum punch has an excellent flavor with guava, mango, passion fruit and high quality rum. Careful now…it will sneak up on you. As will the lemon drop shots! 5. J’ouvet burger- so glad I tried this! Spicy, flavorful, filling if you have an appetite! Perfectly paired w/yummy shoestring fries! Shout outs to bartender Je'nai and our server Lawrence....both are engaging, very polite, attentive, and well versed with the menu!
First time caller, will ABSOLUTELY be back. Came for 5 Friday afternoon happy hour where we sampled all of the items. Codfish fritters and beef patty were the favorites but all the bites are good. Added the brisket nachos (not on the HH menu) because wanted to try them and they hit. Start your afternoon here and then hang out in the neighborhood.
Everything was delicious and we left full! We ordered the vegan roti with shrimp , sweet plantain and the cod fritters (which aren’t pictured because we couldn’t wait) , and they were so tasty. The pepper sauce (hot sauce) was the real deal. Also Necia was a great server 20/10 , made our experience even better! We can’t wait to come back and try the happy hour and brunch
Great vibe! The food was excellent. We tried different appetizers and all of them were great! The server was knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend.
