The ordering process was a little messy, BUT the food was very flavourful and filling. Good portion size with a good amount of meat, rice beans, slaw and plantains. The chicken patty was also really good and was huge. Everything was a good deal for your money and you’ll definitely get a satisfying meal! One of the best Jamaican food places in Montreal!One of the chefs was also smoking their meats outside the store which added to the atmosphere. When I got off the bus, I smelt really good barbecue and as I walked closer to the store, I realised it was Boom J’s. Amazing ?
This is not the same place as before Covid. It's totally different taste totally different. I don't know if it was sold or not but it's not the same the oxtail that I order it's not that dark brown gravy. It's really a light brown. It has no Jamaican authentic flavor whatsoever. The rice and peas were also not good and I'm just giving it a zero out of 10 I couldn't even finish it. The ox tails were mostly bone very little meat on the rocks to just overall disappointed. I will not be returning it's just not the same..
I ordered the goat roti, which was served with a small side salad. I thoroughly enjoyed it the first time I tried it, but when I saved half for later and reheated it, I experienced stomach pain and diarrhea about 30 minutes after eating. At first, I was unsure if it was the roti that caused my symptoms, but after eating the leftover half again a few hours later, I experienced the same issues. I am typically very clean and always wash my hands.
Small, cramped place with a few bar stools for seating and some odd looking storage that's visible from the waiting area. I ordered the oxtails and curry goat. The meat was very tough. The rice was undercooked, scorched and dry. The portions are big but the food is terrible! Don't waste your time!

Oxtail is one the most expensive meals on the menu, I got two orange coloured oxtail a whole a lot watered down sauce and carrots. For the price the expectation of Boom J’s they should be embarrassed to say you serve some Caribbean cuisine. They juice though 10/10
What can I say...but AMAZING. Food always fresh, always on time, always flavorful, always served with a smile, to perfection and the Owner is the coolest guy I know. It's a MUST, go and check them out. Eat and be Merry ?
Reallly good curried goat. No dry. Not tough. Rice was perfect also...not dry! (not too salty...that was appreciated). The large was so large...It was 2 meals ?2 minutes drive from the Costco. Easy street parking.
Forget about your lunch or dinner plans. Are they canceled? Great. Now, head over to Boom J's, whether by walking, biking, or driving, and indulge in the most delicious roti you have ever tried.

The food is excellent. The chicken is cooked in a smoker to order, so you may have to wait for it to be ready before you can eat.
