Serving Authentic Jamaican Food Since 2017

At M & F Jamaican Restaurant, owners Marie and Fitzroy have one mission: to bring the rich, authentic flavors of Jamaica to the community. What started in 2017 as a small food truck quickly grew into a full restaurant after customers fell in love with their food and encouraged them to expand.

“We saw the need, and the customers loved us. We saw the opportunity for growth, so we grabbed onto it — and that’s why we now have our brick and mortar.” – Marie & Fitzroy


What Makes M & F Jamaican Restaurant Special

The secret lies in their approach to authentic Jamaican cuisine — every dish is bold, balanced, and made with care.

Customer Favorites Include:

  • Jerk Chicken – Grilled the traditional way over charcoal for unmatched smoky flavor
  • Oxtail – Slow-cooked to perfection, tender and savory
  • Curry Goat – Packed with rich spices and island tradition
  • Garlic Butter Shrimp & Curry Shrimp – Flavorful seafood options customers rave about
  • Pepper Steak – Soft, tender, and full of flavor

What sets M & F apart is the balance of flavor: not too spicy, not too mild; just right.


From Food Truck to Restaurant

The journey of M & F reflects their commitment to quality and community. They began with a simple food truck, but the love and support of their customers fueled their growth into a thriving brick-and-mortar restaurant. Today, M & F isn’t just a place to eat. It’s a place where people come together to enjoy authentic food and genuine hospitality.
