Well I’m an Arabic african who came to the USA at 12 lived in nyc most of time ( traveled a ton you can always can tell real . from well … they don’t know the difference ) if you’re not from Alabama or American you’ll know . If you have a taste in in your head. This place will not offer . Basic seasoning and herbs we use in our country isn’t n here . Now the coco bread was the best thing . Everything else bland like they were Someone guessing what Jamaican food taste like . A shame now portions are big but big of cardboard tasting food . How does Jerk not jerk curry not curry the stew chicken brov horrid . But get you some coco bread though .

It was pretty good for some reason my coco bread got hard pretty quick other than that I enjoyed my plate curry chicken

Great authentic Jamaican food. Service was a tad bit slow but understandable due to it being crowded. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.I ordered oxtails rice and peas and mac. The only thing I wish I knew was to ask for more gravy to go on my rice and peas because it's just that darn good.Parking: The parking lot is kinda smallWheelchair accessibility: It is a wheelchair ramp

Never have what you want, just not good with people

The order taker was rude and got my order wrong. When brought to his attention, he stated I was wrong. The food was okay. It lacked basic seasoning such as salt and pepper. The sides were a good size, but the meat not so much. I had more bones than I did meat. Would have given them another try if not for the rude cashier. I will not be going back.

I typically don’t leave reviews, BUT this meal deserves one. If you know true authentic Jamaican cuisine, you won’t waste another minute or even hesitate to buy from them. Omg! The beef patties were hands down delicious! Then I asked for jerk chicken as the main course, the chicken has this smoky savory taste, not too dry, just done right! I promise you… no disappointment. The rice and beans(goodness!!!!) now you don’t have to take my word for it, BUT I know Jamaican!!! Great job! I’ll definitely be back for more.

Great food. Ultra long wait time, but they prepare your food upon ordering. The food is worth the wait. Dinning in is an option; however, I wouldn't recommend sitting there to eat.

The food is excellent but the older guy in there should write down all orders.. He always seem to get my sides wrong and blame me for not telling him correctly.. Crazy thing is I go ALLLLLL the time and get the exact same thing. Also online orders is good but they will send you what they have instead of what you order and will not call to tell you they are out of what you ordered. The main thing is customer service can be a little better. I get old school Jamaicans but we southern down here and the attitude cam leave when im paying my money.. HOWEVER>> THE FOOD IS GOOD WHEN ITS CORRECT.
