Wings and fries round out the menu for those looking for something outside the traditional plate format.

Three Little Birds Jamaican Food is known for its oxtail and curry goat plates, which are among the higher-priced items on the menu and reflect the slow-cooked, heavily seasoned approach common in Jamaican kitchens. The brown stew chicken, prepared with a rich gravy-style sauce, is another staple of the restaurant's offerings. The lunch specials provide an accessible entry point for those trying Jamaican cuisine for the first time.

The restaurant sits on Jefferson Avenue in the Genesee-Jefferson neighborhood of southwest Rochester, an area sometimes referred to locally as the SWAN district. The stretch of Jefferson Avenue is a mixed commercial-residential corridor not far from the intersection with West Main Street. Genesee Valley Park, one of Rochester's larger green spaces with trails and river access, is located nearby to the south. Street parking is available along Jefferson Avenue.
