Strait Jamaican Cuisine LLC | Authentic Jamaican Takeout in Waterville, ME

Fantastic jerk chicken. Excellent flavors and the chicken was nice and juicy. The steamed cabbage was very good. I asked for oxtail gravy on the rice and beans and jerk sauce on top of the chicken and they were accommodating. If I am ever in the area again I will most definitely be getting food from here.

The food is phenomenal! Jerk was sweeter than I’m used to; but not in any kind of bad way. Really good, subtle spice. Sweet potatoes and cabbage were on point too. All in all good, quick service and food. Will definitely have to get a plate from here again.

Yummy! My family and I stopped by and tried the ribs, poutine, ox tail and Jerk.. oh and a patty! All were delicious. I loved the rice and beans and that oxtail was awesome. Ribs were fall off the bone. My husband enjoyed the jerk with its peppery flavor. They had a few outdoor tables and we asked if we could just stay and eat.. they were great to accommodate. Don't forget to try the Jamaican or pineapple soda to wash it down with!

My Fiance and I tried this place out for the first time today. We got the Rasta Pasta and the 2 meat/2 sides meal. Everyone was absolutely DELICIOUS!! Seasoned with intent and care! Everything we got was top notch and we will absolutely be back for more! The staff member who served us was also delightful to talk to! Great place!!

What a find! Although we saw their steady take-out business, we just sat at the back porch tables, sipping our D&G sodas, listening to reggae. The oxtail was the best I'd had in years. The jerk pork was crispy & juicy, perfectly seasoned. And the sides! Both styles of plantains were absolutely perfect, and the sweet mashed potatoes had just a hint of ginger. Plenty to take away with us, too. Both Jamie & Clayton, the chefs/co-owners, were so hospitable and made us feel right at home. And 3 minutes from downtown! Waterville is so lucky to have this authentic touch of Caribbean homestyle cooking. Amazing!

Visiting the area on business and looking for a place to get some dinner, I came across this place on the map with a perfect 5.0 stars. Normally I'd skip over places like this because a score like that on a restaurant usually means something sketchy is going on... either less than 5 reviews, or the reviews are paid for or something like that. However, this 5.0 seemed to be the result of 100+ happy customers, so I decided to check it out. I got the jerk chicken dinner (rice+peas and coleslaw for the sides) and a beef patty. I was in awe with this dinner. Huge portions, fresh food, and gosh darn delicious. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely try some more of the dishes here. It's a little strange to find... there's no big sign off the street and it's tucked away in a residential neighborhood. Once you pull up the driveway you'll see the small sign on the side of the place. They have a little takeout window off the porch.

Our food was so good I wanted to hug them! We own a restaurant and were blown away by the depth of flavor and how perfectly cooked everything was. And Jamie and Clayton came out and chatted with us. Wish you guys all the success you deserve!

Delicious jamaican food!! We wanted to try a brand new restaurant in Waterville and after seeing all these positive reviews, we took a chance. We’re so happy we did, the food was so tasty and yummy. Will order again!
