1st place I went to where they encourage you to look at your order before you leave. I can tell you they cook with love. I had jerk chicken with rice and peas with Mac and cheese. Everything was 10/10 I’m happy to have such a gem in my neighborhood!

As someone that grew up in a Jamaican household in NYC, this is the best food I've had in my 25+ years in Mercer County. I've never been disappointed with the food. There may be a wait if you order via walk-in but the food is worth it. I haven't ordered dessert so I can't comment on them but I'm confident they're good. Lastly, the fact that they ran out of plantains certified the Jamaican authenticity (IYKYK) so order early if you can. Will continue to eat here and highly recommend.

I was excited to try some delicious authentic Jamaican food, however I was left a bit underwhelmed. Firstly, I loved the interior and the decorations were really nice, but the music was too loud. When I went to order, almost every item I asked for on the menu, they weren't able to make due to not having the ingredients I guess. I decided to get the jerked salmon and a Mac & cheese on the side. The food was great. The mac & cheese absolutely hit the spot, and the salmon was also quite good. I want to give this place another chance so I can try more of the delicious looking menu.

I purchased food yesterday for lunch. I was tired of eating in the cafeteria of my office. I looked up this local gem and ohhhh boy it did not disappoint. I am from Brooklyn and I too am Jamaican so I know a good hand. I ordered the oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage. The food was so darn good and the portions are so big!!! Loved it!! It was so good I went back for the BBQ jerk chicken and a side Mac and cheese!!!!!!!! Y’all gotta give them a try. I don’t even live in Trenton and will drive this 40 minute drive for this when I am not at work! It was good!

I have heard about Hummingbird for a while from coworkers. They continually tell me to go try it because they have good Jamaican food. I finally dropped by while in Trenton on business. I come into the place and the Reggie was playing( not blasting so loudly that I had to shout my order...some places need to take note)it didn't seem forced or fake like the atmosphere in a some restaurants. I ordered a large oxtail dinner with cabbage, rice and peas and I got a side of plantains. The "Chadwick Boseman look alike" behind the counter insisted I get the medium dinner. Who am I to disagree with the Black Panther? The medium was a lot of food. Prince T'Challa was correct, I would not have been able to eat anymore than the medium. The oxtail were very good. It's a dish that I only recently had for the first time at The Big Easy, also in Trenton New Jersey. The cabbage was really good. I've had Jamaican style cabbage twice and it taste like it was made differently both times and was delicious both times. I didn't enjoy the plantains, I like sweet plantains. These were good but I prefer the sweet ones. All in all. It was a good meal, the price was not as expensive as other Jamaican food in
