Please put a catering menu with price on website, Thank you

I added pics of the menu, but I don't work there.

Not a question but a comment. The wait can be super long even with pre orders. Several times I have to remind them that the service sucks.

Wait is definitely long but the food is great

Its more like $12-20 for lunch

Happy they are open again. Pick up only. You have to call to place an order. The food is still good. I ordered esco chicken, rice and peas with fresh veg (salad). The salad now comes in a small container separate from the food.

The waiters and hostess were great tonight... Very friendly. Additionally, the food came in good time and was properly flavored. Oh... and the greeter who seated us was very pleasant and professional.

The food was very good and super delicious. I went there because my mother, friends and cousins kept talking so highly of the place I had to try it out. Now I know why. They have a restaurant and take out. The prices are reasonable. Caribbean food at it's best. There is a crowd of people but the wait is worth it.

I placed an order for pick up but they forgot to include my sea food soup. I live in long island so I was a bit bugged by this and I had paid a $65 order with cash. I called the Door but they insisted that the most the supervisor could do is to refund my cash only when I returned with my receipt and no other compensation was offered considering it was their error at my inconvenience. I wasn't offered an upgrade or anything else for my time or commute. Guess they didn't appreciate my patronage. I was met with indifference and apathy. Guess I won't go out of my way again just to support them and they most likely will become $5 richer. I am done.

Food was very tasty, well seasoned. They ran out of plates often and food, but it was quickly replenished. The bathrooms were kept clean all night! Line was long to get in as always, but staff work hard to seat patrons in a timely manner. I can't wait to visit here again!! 👍🏽👍🏽

The Door is consistently good and we’ve never had a bad meal from here. Depending on the time you go, parking can be quite challenging so plan your visits accordingly. The waitstaff is friendly and professional. I definitely recommend trying them out if you’ve never been.

The greeting was excellent as well as the wait staff. The food was in good proportions and even more. You won't get up from that table hungry. In fact. You will walk a little slower leaving because you're so full.I enjoyed the homemade fruit juice and all the meat that was ordered was succulent and fell of the bone. I was licking my fingers . I would eat here again.

The food was blah, I ordered the Jerk T bone and requested it to be cooked medium rare and it was over cooked Well done to be exact, and tough too. The flavor wad good, I was very disappointed in the cut of beef. The cabbage had no flavor and could've been cooked just a bit more, it tasted like raw cabbage which was also disappointing. The baked potato was perfect. We waited a long time for our order so I figured it was being cooked fresh. Oh well so much for the longer you wait the better it will be. Nothing to brag about.

The food was so good, I had the curry goat. The service was great, I have no complaints. So far this was my fifth visit and I was not disappointed. The wait time was much less than usual and I went on a Saturday evening, I was pretty surprised. I will definitely go back, and every time I do I end up introducing another one of my friends to the place.

Visited the door with my family for the 1st time, our experience was not as expected after waiting for 1 hour the food came out cold (despite telling the waiter to bring out whatever is ready he totally disregarded our request)our waiter instead of serving the food he left it and had someone else come to serve us, I thought that was very disrespectful, I spoke to the manager on duty but that didn't seems to resolve anything all she did was apologize. This was a waste of our time because all the food we bought had to be boxed up because we dont eat cold food and we were not pleased with the service. I gave 2 stars because the bread and butter was good.

Good food for the most part. However, call in an order and they tell you 15 mins when your order but it won’t be ready for another hour or more. Called my order in today at 1:44 for example. They said 15 minutes and it’s now 3pm still waiting. This is more often than not the case.

I was so excited to taste the door’s tasty crab so Eventually I got to eating my crab and then I found a hair wrapped in my crab I did not even want to eat there anymore. Even when I explained that I didn’t want to eat anything I want a refund they refused and gave me 5% off the food. Very bad for business

This family owned/operated business has grown from a small take-out spot to a full restaurant that takes up the whole corner of the block. The food always tastes great with new and familiar dishes from the Caribbean. I've been proud of this community based BLACK business for a very long time and I plan to support it until I can't anymore. Thank you for being an inspirational landmark in my hometown!

I come to the Door restaurant all the time and I’m always satisfied. Their customer service and staff are so well trained. I’m never disappointed. Food is excellent. Brunch is really good. I recently celebrated my mother’s birthday and they did an amazing job with cake and the presentation of the cake. Perfection. I’m mostly happy with excellent service as I find it hard to find good service in places anymore. They go above and beyond!

Been going here for years and its obvious they cannot find a process that works. The take section is a hot mess. The food was great at one point but its just ok now. The process to get your take out very confusing. There is no way a take out order should take over 30 minutes and if its a holiday over an 1hr. Management has no clue what the customers experience.

My first-time visit to the Door was thrilling. My wife surprised, on my birthday in September 2018 with a visit to the famed Door restaurant. Real Jamaican food for every occasion can be had here. Visiting the door is an experience in and of itself, and one that will treat you to real Jamaican food for reasonable prices.
