The Hummingbird Restaurant

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 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 fo

Food was absolutely nasty and old. Cabbage tasted like left overs and so the mac and cheese. Please do yourself a favor and go to another place. They do not respect their customers enough to treat them how they would like to be treated. They know darn well they would not eat what they are serving. Never again and when I tried to call them, their phone is disconnected. I tell you If I get food poisoning then they will be hearing from me again.

The inside is now all painted a dull gray. No vibrant color like depicted in previous photos posted at this time (now all gray on 22Oct25) I Was So Hungry Oxtail, Red Bean & Rice with Cabbage nice and Tasty 😋 They Were Cooking Up A Storm! Because It Got Smokey In There! It Was Smelling Good So I Kept Eating! When I Arrived Over A 30 Minute Time: 3 Peeps Were Dining-In, and 9 Peeps Came In For Take-Out Orders. One of Which Was A State Trooper. Staff very nice. Jamaican Music videos playing on TV on wall in dining area.

I ordered a large Oxtail with Mac and cheese, rice and peas and cabbage. The meat I received was NOT OXTAIL it was Beef neck bones the cabbage had absolutely NO SEASONING AT ALL. Everything is was ok.
