Caribbean Counter Meals with Spiced Oxtail in Queens
Order curry goat and fresh pineapple ginger juice at CJ Cafe, a Rockaway Boulevard stop with rice and peas.
🍲 Stewed Meats and Rice
CJ Cafe puts the Caribbean counter meal front and center on Rockaway Boulevard in Queens. Spiced oxtail and curry goat are the starting points, with rice and peas alongside the stewed meats. Choose the dish you want to build your order around before stepping up to the counter, then keep the rest of the meal in view as you decide what goes with it.
The drink to ask for is fresh pineapple and ginger juice. Add it to the conversation when you order your food, bringing a fruit and ginger option into the meal without searching for a separate stop.
The cafe opens Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 9 PM and is closed on Sunday. For questions ahead of your trip, you can reach the restaurant directly on 718 480 6603 before making your way to the counter.
