The food was delicious and the portion sizes were just right, to slightly larger than expected. We did not leave hungry. The chief came out and welcomed us and talked to is about the food. Great new restaurant that is definitely worth checking out. More...

They knocked it out of the park again.So brunch was on the docket today, the grits were surprisingly delicious, the garden omelette was inspiring and the mango vinaigrette my friend had on her salad was worth the price of admission, lol. Another great outing.P.S. The pancakes were bangin', just sayin'. More...

The food is AWESOME!So I go to this restaurant right off of 48th & Spruce. We are waited on by Keyon (great server) I order wings, very good, but then the main course. OMG,  it's called Rasta (penne) pasta (with salmon mixed in). It may be the greatest tastiest dish I've ever eaten. The parking kinda sucks, but the food is worth 5 STARS! More...

I came here with a group of 12 girls for what was a delightful Caribbean Brunch to end our birthda celebration weekend in Philly. We are very communal eating type of bunch so we shared bites of everyone's plate. From the Rasta pasta, the Oxtail? The chicken and sweet potato waffles, ackee and saltfish, catfish and cornbread waffles, jerk chicken hash...everything was mouthwatering and delicious. Great meal, reasonably priced, the chef even came out to greet us and thank us for our patronage ( even though some of our friends did cause a bit of ordering confusion it was resolved seamlessly) It was the perfect way to end our trip and we will definitely return.

Me and my sister went for our birthday on 9th july....this is the third time we've been there. The food is always good. I had the rasta pasta with shrimp and the Island wings. The pasta was delicious. The wings were good but a little salty this time. Normally they are not salty. Overall this is a great little place in the neighborhood. ❤❤❤ More...

Came to Philly all the way from Washington ,DC and had a craving for some carribean food. One of my carribean friends recommended this spot and raves about their brunch so I decided to give it a try. I came on a Sunday shortly after they opened and the restaurant was pretty empty. My friends and I ordered the snapper, ox tails and the Jamaican breakfast. All three were amazing. The plantains were cooked perfectly, the ox tails were almost falling off the bone and the presentation was beautiful. The salt fish was prepared in a classic fashion and the sautéed onions , peppers and thyme all added to the authenticity of this dish. The service was great, the chef himself even came out and greeted us which gave the experience an even more homey feel. Will def come back again .! More...

This is the best oxtails I've had in the city on everything I love. They have the best cornbread as well. It melts in your mouth I promise. I love this place.  I will never go to another Jamaican restaurant. Thank you for the best food in the city. More...

We came on a Sunday evening and had the dining room pretty much to ourselves.  The wait staff took good care of us, and so did the kitchen.  I had the brown chicken stew and was delighted with it.  One of my co-diners ordered the Jamaican jerk chicken and was pleased as well.The only "negative" was the lack of a liquor license -- it's BYOB all the way down.  We didn't know this ahead of time but were able to get some interesting cans of beer at the Garden Court Eatery around the corner.Highly recommended!

Recently ate here and had a great experience. I was looking for a quick lunch over the weekend and could smell the food they were cooking down the block so I had to go in. I ordered the jerk wings and sweet plantains. The wings were very large and tasted amazing, definitely worth the price. The wings came with a pineapple ranch that nice paired sweetness with the spices of the wings.  The plantains were delicious as well, and I ended up taking portions of both home for later due to the generous servings. Both orders came out quickly and the service was friendly. I was even greeted during my meal by an older gentleman who I assumed to be the owner and/or chef asking how the food was, which shows they care about the customer and the quality of food they serve. I will definitely be returning soon!Cheers! More...

I ordered the stew chicken, it came with rice and beans and cabbage. It was delicious. My husband ordered the oxtails with the same sides he really enjoyed his meal. We also got a side of mashed sweet potatoes and baked mac. The sweet potatoes were good but the mac and cheese was airy and you couldn't taste cheese in it. But overall everything had good flavors and I would definitely visit again More...

I had a great 1st time experience here with my sister. We learned it was “Black Restaurant” week. The host at the door was a sweetheart and our waiter was friendly and attentive. Staff members that we encountered were friendly and nice. I will go back again and thinking of having an outing there with my company PASS Transport! More...

First time at this establishment.  The food was excellent.   Now the bad:   Front of house could use some training.  Every time someone came in they would have them sit and wait while there were plenty of empty tables.   Wait staff wasn't very attentive.  It took over 50 minutes for our main dish to come out of the kitchen.   We were there for about an hour and a half.   I had the vegetable spring roll.  It had great flavor.   Second course I had a house salad.   Third course was blackened catfish.   It would be nice if we could have picked our sides for the entree but they weren't accepting any substitutions.   The catfish had mashed potatoes and green beans?    I ordered a side of Mac and cheese and ate my dinner mates collard greens.  They both were good.   Really didn't touch my sides.   Who wants that with blackened catfish.   My husband had sweet chili chicken wings then the soup followed by chicken and waffles.   He said his food was excellent.  It will be worth another trip to see if service is better and to try more of the delicious food.  Four stars because of front of house, otherwise it would be five.

The Island Wings, blackened catfish and cornbread were delicious! Unfortunately there were staffing issues in the kitchen because it took over an hour for our first course to arrive. ...however, we did appreciate the server and owner coming to the table several times to check on us....the pasta in the jambalaya was overdone, the vegetable spring rolls were mush inside and we were charged for cornbread that we thought was offered as a result of waiting for the food....we paid it anyway, but I think we will wait until a less busy time in the city to explore them again because the customer service was top notch and you hardly see that anymore!

West Philly's been in need of an authentic Caribbean dine-in restaurant and 48th Street Grille has delivered just that! This is about my 4th time dining here and I don't know why I'm so tardy with writing this review - maybe because the food puts me in a coma; it's that good y'all!My favorite dish is the Shrimp Rasta Pasta and having formerly lived in Brooklyn, the US Capital of Caribbean Cuisine...I've had quite a few Rasta Pastas but none beats this! It's so flavorful with just enough spice. My latest dining experience was during Black Restaurant Week so I took advantage of the 3 course menu and tried the Vegetable Spring Rolls & Jamaican Style Red Bean Soup - they hit the spot too!48th Street Grille is BYOB, just like quite a few Philly restaurants, so don't forget your bottle at home! I truly enjoy the personal touch provided by Chef Carl Lewis each dining experience, as he makes it his business to greet every table and thanks each party for their support. Much love, indeed!
