Fat Chef Authentic Jamaican Cuisine

Everything about this place hits at a 10. Fantastic food, amazing owners, and a great selection of hard to find meats & drinks in their store. The Jamaican patties make for a quick and easy lunch we will definitely be back for those bad boys! Also who knew cabbage could be so flavorful? And the plantains are the perfect bite of sweet to cool the palate!

We stopped in for lunch on a Monday. We were greeted warmly by Nicole, one of the owners. She asked if we had any questions and took our order. She also introduced her husband, who is the chef. It is equal parts store and restaurant. They feature grocery items that are popular in Jamaica and other Caribbean islands. It is a very casual place, great for a quick stop or to take home a hot meal. The curried goat was great. The chicken was great as well. The portions were quite generous for a lunch portion. We had enough to take home after we finished.

First time trying this spot, the young lady at the cash register was nice and friendly. We ordered a large curry goat with veggie mix white rice and small brown stew chicken with rice and peas. The large curry goat ended up having the wrong rice, and small amount of curry goat and rice for a large plate. The brown stew chicken plate was on point. What kind of save the night is the food had that good authentic Jamaican flavor and grapenut ice cream which was perfect. I will try them again to see if the curry goat dish was just a mistake. Also I will have to try them again before I make any decision giving recommendations to family and friends

Love going to eat @Fat Chef in Minneola, great food, service and Family. Servings are always plentiful and delicious.

Omg this place had some delicious authentic Caribbean food. I have visited many Caribbean restaurants and this place remind you of actual island food. It was so delicious and fresh. The chicken was beyond delicious and that sauce on it was everything.The oxtails were falling off the bone and seasoned to the bone. The Escovitch fish was perfectly seasoned with onions and carrots on top. It has a sweet spicy seasoning on it. The cabbage was exceptional. I cannot wait to go back. That 45 minute drive was well worth it
