Excellent brunch but can get a bit crowded at peak Sunday hours. The food at the door is always delicious, it's like grandma is in the kitchen. The variety of their brunch is very impressive. The staff is friendly and efficient which is a breath of fresh air for a Caribbean restaurant.

Very good Jamaican cuisine in a white tablecloth and napkin restaurant. Good wait staff. The only decent place to eat in the area.

This place was everything! Best Jamaican food in queens HANDS DOWN! The staff are extremely friendly and very professional. The food and drinks were great also. If you're looking for a high class Jamaican restaurant look no further!

Really good service great atmosphere and professional staff. I went there because I was really hungry for food and the food was excellent. The food didn't take that long to cook for three people. No complaints, overall one of my favorite restaurants in New York. (I don't live in New York) 5 stars for sure try it yourself! Awesome restaurant! -Zachary L on Yelp.

The Door has been one of the best Jamaican restaurants in Queens for decades. I haven't been here in years since I rarely come to this side anymore. I was in the area so I grabbed the chance. Curry goat is one of my fave foods and the Door's is on point. The food quality is still A1 unlike many Caribbean restaurants post pandemic. They use a good cut of goat so you don't have to pick through shards of bone or fat. They also use a nice grain of rice. A small was $16. I was so disappointed that carrot cake was not good. It was so dry and not sweet. Back in the day the cake was so moist it would almost fall apart and it had plenty of raisins and shredded carrot throughout. This cake was not that. I don't know if they have a new baker or what but they are not it. Prices are high. A gallon of sorrell is $60. But the food is really good so I will continue to patronize them

I haven't been here in years and the food is just as great as I remember. We got beef patties for the ride home because we were starving and it didn't disappoint. The patty had god flavor and the perfect amount of beef that you got some in each bite. The curry goat was tender and fell off the bone. The brown stew chicken wasn't too sweet and had a nice kick to it. The oxtail was flavorful and tender. The jerk chicken we paired with oxtail gravy and it never fails to disappoint. This spot is just as good as I remembered it from when I was younger. We went there specifically for takeout because the weather was nasty and we were craving Jamaican food. The large plates are enough for 2 people or 2 portions for yourself. The veggies were perfectly cooked and the cabbage still had a great crunch to it. 10/10 would recommend. Can't wait to go back soon!

TLDR: If you want authentic Caribbean food in Queens, come here! The oxtail and mac and cheese doesn't disappoint. Throughout my 5 years coming here for birthdays and church celebrations, The Door remains a Caribbean staple. The mac and cheese and the oxtail have been consistently delicious, even though prices significantly increased... Treat yourself to the red velvet and rum cake if you're someone who loves a something sweet after a meal. Although the service experience may vary, the restaurant remains clean with an elegantly simple aesthetic. For a hassle-free visit, consider making reservations, especially on busy weekends when the place tends to get packed. If it's too packed, I'd suggest using their takeout option for a cozy taste of homemade Caribbean flavors in the comfort of your home.

Many West Indian residents in Queens point to The Door when asked to recommend the most authentic Caribbean restaurant in their borough. This Jamaican-owned restaurant sells food that many other West Indian restaurants don't: Mackerel Rundown, Salt-fish and Okra, Brown Stewed Cow Skin, Tripe and Bean, Ital Stew and Stir Fry Tofu. The Door also sells desserts not seen in most West Indian restaurants: Black Cake with icing and Caribbean Rum Cake. The only negative thing is that they do not sell homemade Ginger Beer or Sorrel like some of their Brooklyn counterparts, and too bad that the Jamaicans do not make Souse (pickled pig feet), which is a delicacy prepared by most other islanders especially on New Year's Eve. I order only from The Door's take out store and only on weekends because parking is easily available then. DON'T EAT AND DRIVE: The Caribbean Rum Cake is so rum intense that it smelled on my breath at first hello. It tastes like the baker had rum soaked the cake for hours on end, so be sure to wait until you get home to eat it to avoid risk of a DUI!
