“ This was a quaint little place serving up great Jamaican food! Not many places to park or sit if they're busy, but many seemed to come for to-go orders. Most of our party had the jerk chicken. It was fall off the bone tender with a good kick of spice. One of my boys had the curry chicken and enjoyed that as well. The steamed cabbage also had so much flavor. Very decent prices compared to other dining options in the area. Would recommend. ”

“ Best Caribbean food we've had! Great flavors, not too spicy, juicy chicken, overall incredible food! This will be a regular stop for us from now on! ”

“ I am a pregnant resident of Panama City and I was craving Caribbean cuisine. I ordered the jerk chicken, rice and peas, fried plantains and slaw and it was so good! Flavors were on point. My husband even agreed that the food was really good. Definitely ordering again! ”

“ We have been in PCB for two weeks and finally stopped in and I’m so glad we did!! Everything was fresh and delicious! I had oxtails, rice and peas, and pasta salad. My husband had barbe fried chicken, rice and peas, and potato salad. The servings were huge and we had plenty to bring home and make another meal out of it! We are definitely going back to try out some other things on the menu! ”

“ I discovered this place last year when I visited. It was so good then, I just knew I had to go again this go round. I love that they’ve remodeled. It looks great! I started off with a beef patty while my food was being prepared. It had good flavor and a nice flaky crust. Definitely had more room to be filled with more meat, but I’d eat it again as it comes. I also ordered a medium curry chicken and oxtail combo w/ cabbage & rice and beans. I didn’t like that there’s an up charge for rice and beans; otherwise it’s just plain white rice. Everything tasted great and was full of flavor. Well...everything but the rice and beans. It tasted pretty bland. Probably would have been much better had I remembered to request extra sauce from the entrees be poured over the rice. There was enough for my dinner tonight as well as another meal tomorrow. Definitely worth the money! *Still traumatized from my last visit* I do not recommend the potato salad. ”

“ The best Caribbean taste of PCB: I recently visited Cool Runnings and was wowed by the authentic Jamaican flavors and warm hospitality. The menu offered a great variety of classic Jamaican dishes, and what we tried was absolutely delicious. The jerk chicken was perfectly spiced with a smoky, savory flavor, while the oxtail stew was tender, rich, and flavorful. The rice and peas and fried plantains made for the perfect side dishes. Against all odds, the staff were friendly and attentive, which does not go hand in hand with Jamaican restaurants, lmao. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable, considering the quality of the food. If you're craving authentic Jamaican food with a welcoming vibe, Cool Runnings Caribbean Restaurant is the place to go. I can't wait to come back and try more from their menu. Respect!!! ”

“ It was nothing short of a hidden gem! This Jamaican restaurant truly captures the essence of authentic island cuisine with flavors that transport you straight to the heart of Jamaica. While this restaurant might not have the crowds it deserves, it’s clear that those who know about it come back for more. There is plenty of portion for the price. Definitely value for your money. ”

“ Very good food and service! We visit the area frequently, and we're happy to have found this gem. will definitely return every visit. ”
