Late post: I tried this restaurant back in June when I was on the island. The food was really good. I got the Jerk chicken. I wanted the Ox tail dinner but they had just run out. My friend got the last order, so I was still able to sample the Ox tails and they were excellent. The Jerk chicken was good but the Ox tails stole the show. I got the Key Lime pie for dessert and that was really good.
Overall a great experience and highly recommend.
I came with family one evening for a quick take out order as we were all on the island together for a short period of time. Chef Deon's was accommodating for a large last minute take out order & my family loved it so much that we decided to come back the next evening for dine in. I was surprised that Chef Deon's was able to accommodate a party of 10 last minute on a Sunday for dine in (this can be difficult on the island). Two dishes did come out late, however the chef personally came out and brought additional mini plates for those 2 family members. The Dine in Experience : It was on the warmer if you were not by the AC. The food does take a while for larger dine in parties, but it is worth it (you can call ahead). There is a walk to bar in restaurant- cash only, but very reasonably priced. Music is by the bar- I was not there, but by word of mouth it's great & popular with locals. All are welcome. Personable opinion: Great spot in Oak Bluffs Area. Its's not only, the good food but all staff being so attentive that make this a great spot. Suggestions: Definitely try it out; pick what's best for you- order out or dine it. Take a picture of Menu by cashier for dine in as there may not be enough menus. Enjoy.
Great Caribbean food with a few soul food appetizers.
Friendly staff including Chef Deon. Goat curry has a nice moderate heat to it and was tender while the jerk chicken was flavorful with a mild heat. Everyone who got a fish dish loved it. During COVID when they were take out only, it was a very hot inside but it is nice and temperate now.

Chef Deon's Jamaican cuisine is totally authentic and delicious! Ambiance is no frills and emphasis is on great food. Beverages -- including alcohol -- are sold in the next room which is the actual VFW headquarters in Edgartown. I make it a point to eat there every spring and summer.
This is an absolute gem.
Local friends recommended it and we would come back to the vineyard just to go here! Loved it so much we spent Thanksgiving there for a full traditional buffet meal. The regular menu has local fish, authentic jerk chicken, and more. Great VFW bar in back with cheap drinks (cash only bar). Chef Deon is so warm and welcoming.

Great food! Found it to be clean and enjoyable, don't let the sparse interior turn you off. The food is not to me missed...
Take out or dine in, the food was great.
In a sense, a clientele more supported by Islanders at the VFW Hall, than visitors. Jerk Chicken with rice, broccoli and plantains was excellent as was the fried chicken and collard greens. You go for the flavor, not the ambiance.

Spent over $100 for 4 meals, only got one because the driver said that's what he was given: no refund because I have yet to receive a call back from them.
I didn't have a good experience whatsoever.
The place was stuffy and smelled damp. I think the carpet may have been the cause of that so those with allergies may have a difficult time in their. The ambiance was not a good feel either. I am so disappointed as I really wanted to like the place. The menu options were plenty, but the food was just not good. The spare ribs and jerk chicken and fried chicken was not prepared to my liking. It's like a make believe jerk/Caribbean place. They bake the food and put sauce on it and call it bar b q and jerk chicken. The fried chicken appeared to have been boiled in salt first, then battered and fried. It was a total mess and not edible. When we informed the order taker/hostess she was discourteous and didn't offer any succession. We left the full plates of food there and paid full price for it all. It was a total waste of money and time. Our tour driver recommended the place. We trusted that he knew what was good on the island. It was subpar. I should've known this when we walked in and had the whole place to ourselves. I wish it was a better experience for me, however I'm sharing how it went for my group so that you can save yourselves the trouble. If you decide to try it, good luck.
The food here is not good.
They fry plantains with the peel on and serve it with it on as well. The Mac and cheese has too much nutmeg or allspice. Not many authentic Caribbean options. I was hoping for better.

Enjoyed this low key local place that delivered big flavor and service!!! Chef was personable and friendly. Servers were attentive and delivered on point service. The chef even honored our special request so we came back for dinner on day 2. Thank you Chef Dion for making our dinner experience special. Louisiana Girls :)

Best decision of my birthday was having Chef Deon cater a lobster bake at our house for a party of 8. Communication was excellent. Price was beyond reasonable, especially for the quality of food he delivered. Incredible. Flavorful. Best on island for sure.
Really disappointed.
Food was sub par. We ordered the jerk wings ($12) and pork chop ($26). The wings were way too spicy and the pork chop was overly breaded and bland. One server for the entire restaurant who happened to be the person taking the orders. She did her best, but they need more people. Not a great experience. And if you want a drink you have to go to the bar next door. Even for carbonated beverages. This was the worst dining experience in Oak Bluffs.
When we told the owners of the B&B where we had dinner,
When we told the owners of the B&B where we had dinner, they were shocked and commented that it is more of a locals place. That's the kind of place we look for! It is located at the VFW. The prices are fair, portions are very nice and the flavor and heat are the stars of the show! The jerk chicken was easily the most flavorful I've ever had. I appreciate that they give you a nice full plate with rice and veggies. A nice family operation and a lovely start to our first MV trip. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
I wanted to like this restaurant.
We saw the sign out front for Prime Rib. Called to ask if they had rare cuts. Was told yes so we ordered two dinners. Arrived at the designated time and the restaurant was empty and our dinner wasn't even started. I could see the kitchen from where I was standing . Two pieces of previously cooked meat was removed from the frig as was the potatoes and broccoli. He took the meat and dipped it into broth and then placed it in a styrofoam container lined with wax paper. Poured the hot broth over it and places a scoop of old mashed potatoes and the broccoli in. So disappointing. The wax paper was melted and the food was Luke warm. Two stars because the price was good. Never again.
Chef Deon's is the place for down home good food.
Oh the mac & cheese! Jerk chicken! coconut rice & beans!It's all yummy, great place to have a private event too - the hall is easy to dress up in lights & paper banners. Bring the entire group and take over the outside tent, party on!
Best meal we had weekending on the island!Breaded pork
Best meal we had weekending on the island!Breaded pork chops were the perfect combination of crispy and moist, with awesome mashed potatoes!Jerked chicken brought the heat while the red beans & rice had a moderation sweet & savory to manage the heat. We'll visit Chef Deon again and again!
