The Scene – Walking distance for most of downtown's nine-to-five residents, this noisy restaurant gets slammed by regulars. Wait staff can hardly keep up with turning tables at the height of lunch hour, and there's a continuous queue for takeout. The focus here is food; no Reggae or island-view murals embellish this dining experience. – – The Food – From Jamaican patties to curry conch, the menu caters to large appetites. Jerk wings and veggie and meat patties lead to entrees such as golden brown stewed chicken and steamed flakey snapper cooked with okra, tomatoes and…

I can't tell you how much I love this place. I could literally eat the brown stewed chicken for every meal. Do yourself a favor and check this place out ASAP!

Great food w/ fast service
by junco513
This place serves up some great Jamaican food. And the food comes out fast so it's an ideal place for lunch. Although it does tend to get busy at the peak lunch hour. Definitely try the jerk chicken and the beef patty is really great, too!
- Pros: great food, fast service, reasonable price
- Cons: no parking, gets crowded

Best Jerk This Side of Peachtree
by nurutheguru
I've been dining at Calypso for six years! I LOVE the plantain, carrot & raisin soufflé and curry. The tofu is also pretty good. Try the jerk chicken salad -- spicy and light, and perfect for a quick lunch. Also, if you're lucky, they have the most decadent rum cake.
- Pros: family biz
- Cons: location
