Great service and really good food! I had the ackee and salt fish with plantains and Johnny cake. My friend had jerk pork. I also tried the curry goat. Everything was really good and the staff was super friendly. The spicy items had a good amount of spice for flavor but not so much that they were difficult to eat. I would totally recommend this to anyone who likes Jamaican food.

Love the curry goat and oxtail with white rice and rice and peas, respectively. Great customer service and plenty of parking.

My parents have been here several times whenever they come to visit the Savannah area and this was our first stop after we checked into our hotel. When pulling in, the restaurant is located in a shopping mall next to a Chinese takeout. To be honest, I did not know what to expect from a Jamaican spot in Pooler, GA especially since I lived in South Florida and was surrounded by the flavors of the Caribbean. From first glance, it's clean and has ample seating. We ordered oxtails for my dad, jerk chicken for my mom, and brown stew chicken for myself. Since we were dining in, we did wait for some time for our food. However, we watched as the kitchen staff replaced old rice with new trays, and other menu items. In the meantime, we also ordered jerk chicken patties, coco bread, and a beef patty. Once our food was delivered to our table, my mom went in immediately hence the picture of the eaten chicken lol. When opening up my box, whew the portions are huge - which is how I like my Jamaican spots to be! My brown stew chicken was very moist, flavorful, and freshly cooked. It had that hint of spice, and was covered in that rich stew. I requested for extra gravy on the rice - which was perfectly cooked, subtle flavor of that coconut milk. The cabbage was the highlight for me and went first out of my box. It was steamed very well, swimming in flavor, and chewy. My parents loved their food as well. As far as the patties, the jerk chicken patty was filled with their jerk chicken that was served and had great spice and the chicken was moist. The coco bread was fluffy and had the texture of warm soft potato roll. You have to split the coco bread and put your patty in it to give the balance of the sweet bread with the savory patty. Overall, if you're craving Jamaican food with a down home feel - definitely stop into Mo' Bay, I know I'll be back whenever I'm in Savannah.

Delicious! I had the oxtails, mac n cheese, cabbage, coco bread, and potato salad! Sooo good! Everything was fresh and the oxtails were juicy and fall off the bone. Perfect sorrel and fruit punch they tasted homemade. If you are craving good Jamaican home cooking this is the spot!

Born and raised in Brooklyn, we were definitely excited to discover Mo'Bay. We thought we'd have to go back home to get some Caribbean food and while not quite the same there are definitely some winners here. We've had many things from this restaurant but our favorites are the stewed chicken, stewed beef, curry goat, spicy curry rice, mac n cheese, veggie patties, beef patties, and variety of chicken patties. Not a fan of the oxtails, not enough meat and flavor and too much fat. The jerk chicken was also a miss, too much jerk seasoning and the meat was dry. Also not a fan of the fried chicken, not seasoned enough and bland. If you love fresh ginger definitely get the sorrel, it's some of the best I've had. The prices are good and depending on the time you go they may be very busy but the food is definitely worth the wait.

Very, very tasty. I was on my way to Savannah last Friday and saw the great reviews for this place and knew I had to get some on my way into town. I called to place an order for carry-out when I was about 20 minutes away and after a few minutes on hold, I was able to get my order placed. It was ready when I arrived. This place is located in a smaller strip mall. There's some seating inside, though not a ton. Bright yellows and greens and Jamaican memorabilia make this place very inviting. There are drink coolers with beverages and you order and pay at the register on the counter. To my surprise, much of the food was in a hot bar on display at the front counter. No big deal or anything - just thought it was interesting. I liked getting a brief glimpse of some of the other yumminess. :) Service was friendly and warm and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Would have been less than five had my card actually agreed with the card machine, but luckily I had cash, lol. I got a medium plate with curry chicken, rice and peas, and macaroni and cheese. It was an ample portion for the money -- two meals for me, easily. Yay for leftovers! The chicken itself was very succulent and fell off the bone. Unlike curry chicken I've had before, this one had a couple of cubes of potato and carrot mixed in, rather than just chicken and curry. I really enjoyed the extra veggies. The rice was fluffy and soft. Little low on the pea ratio but overall yummy, and I'd say mild-moderately spicy. Very much enjoyed it. The macaroni and cheese was good too, though personally, I like mine more with milder cheese. Just a preference thing rather than any actual complaint. I do wish I could've had a slice or two of plantain to round out the experience but I didn't want to add on a third side. Overall, I was very happy with what I got. Definitely give this place a go -- well worth a stop if it's along your route.

Great and authentic Jamaican food. Ordered the oxtail, with red beans and rice. It was a great combination with plantain. Outstanding service from staff. Great find in Pooler!

Like landing at John Wayne, SFO or LAX and going straight to In N Out, when landing here at Savannah/Hilton Head airport - you must proceed directly from the rental car parking lot and go straight to Mo'Bay!! The oxtail meal was so, so good, that I got another oxtail meal just for the hotel. The young lady was very inviting and explained what was popular on the menu. The oxtail was very soft and that gravy should come in a jar. I loved the chicken and beef Patties as well. The plantains were sweet and soft and the cabbage had a nice snap. All my years, I've been a big fan of Filipino oxtail (cooked with peanut butter sauce) but I think Jamaican oxtail has moved up to first place. What I really need to do is learn the recipe on YouTube because I do have a slow cooker. Also with the posters and Reggae music and Jamaican drinks - it all just adds to the ambiance and decor.

Trying to find a place since our plans got canceled because someone had to crash on the only road to Tybee Island, we landed on here at Mo'Bay Island Cuisine. It was an awesome pick that our friend chose to eat at. Finding good Jamaican food is pretty tough, because some places are just alright. Mo'Bay is a hole in the wall, but the food here was awesome. I ordered the oxtail, and it was great with a side of greens and rice. The rice was flavorful and with the sauce from the oxtail it was *chef's kiss*. The amount of oxtail as well was well portioned and it was fall off the bone tender. I also tried the curry patty, and I have to say it was definitely flavored really well as far as the curry but there wasn't much meat or anything else in there. I may have missed it as I went through that patty really quick. Overall, Mo'Bay is definitely a place you should check out if you're in the area and looking for Jamaican.
