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.

Sigggh. I guess they’re cooking for Americans? The WORST JAMAICAN FOOD IVE HAD IN MY LIFE! Where is the love and care?!
The chicken wasn’t clean with lime for sure(taste fresh out the package and onto a grill) No jerk seasoning was used to marinate(tastes like roasted chicken with bbq sauce on top). The Mac and cheese tastes like onion no cheese. The rice 6.5/10 rating. I’m sad. I really wanted tasty food and this definitely wasn’t it!!

Great food. Love the jerked chicken, very flavorfull withoit the other places need to over spice. Food is always a bit slow coming out, but worth the wait. They play Jamaican music to set the mood, but always way too loud. So not good for meetings, work lunches etc

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.

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 for the first time at The Big Easy, also in Trenton New Jersey. The cabbage was really good. I've had Jamaican style cabbage twice and it taste like it was made differently both times and was delicious both times. I didn't enjoy the plantains, I like sweet plantains. These were good but I prefer the sweet ones. All in all. It was a good meal, the price was not as expensive as other Jamaican food in the area, the amount of food was plentiful. I recommend Hummingbird to anyone wanting to enjoy Jamaican food without taking out a payday loan.
