I ordered a side of oxtails, came with 5 small bones full of Fat. jerk chicken, and rice. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed. The oxtails were mostly bones and fat with very little meat, lacking flavor and tenderness. I also ordered a side of jerk chicken and rice, but instead was given a jerk chicken plate that already came with rice. It didn’t make sense to be charged separately for rice.

The jerk chicken itself was good, and the lady who was grilling was nice enough to make sure I had fresh chicken. The jerk sauce was okay but not the best I’ve had. Rice and peas were good, but the cabbage lacked seasoning .

The service felt flat and weird and the overall energy wasn’t welcoming. I paid $63 and felt like I didn’t get value for my money. Because of the poor oxtails and overall experience, I will not be returning.

The cashier is too nonchalant and only stands up to take orders when men are in his face. He doesn’t help for first timers and he’s rude. when the food finally came out I was happy it was hot and fresh but my oxtails didn’t have no flavor and one of my oxtails was hard and I’m like mmm for $45 my shit suppose to be falling off the bone but the beef patties was really good and fresh.

We stopped by for a late lunch.We were greeted by a young man at the door who was our waiter and server. After asking for recommendations we ordered oxtails and goat with rice and peas and vegetables along with a slice of chocolate cake. Our meals came to over $80.00 which were served on plastic wear with a plastic fork.
The oxtails while tasty were crowded with the sides in the container. The goat wasn't to my taste but that's on me being adventurous.
But the food was crowded in my container and the cake was in a refrigerated case which made it cold and not very tasty. The restroom is situated outside around the side of the building and needed to be serviced. Overall our experience was less than optimal and hopefully result in changes for the better.

The oxtails, accompanied by rice, beans, and cabbage, were exceptionally flavorful. We were compelled to return for a second visit, and the staff consistently provided a welcoming atmosphere. Much luv from Ethic Radio.

Don't know about the atmosphere because the dining hall was closed. However, the Brown Stew Chicken was 🔥FIRE 🔥!!

Been all over this country and this place is absolutely real Yardi food. :)

Went here for dinner with the wife the other night. We dined in and enjoyed the food. My oxtail tasted great and was a good size portion. They didn't have any festival bread but the owner came over and made sure to get us some freshly made before we finished our meal. I really appreciated him going the extra mile. We'll definitely be going back!

I was willing to pay $56 for 3 patties, coco bread and a large brown stew plate, but unfortunately they only accept cash. It’s 2025, where is the tap option?!? Will never know if it was worth the $56. But the inside was cute (They also don’t have a public restroom)

The food has this deliciousness that would not go away after eating. And we got a complimentary soup which was a bomb, loaded with goodness. I rate it .💯

Really good / great service. Would have also taken a pic but was hungry and ate my food too fast.

EXCELLENT Jamaican food! We had the oxtail pasta and salmon pasta and both were delicious! Made fresh, quickly and an overall extremely pleasant experience. Very kind staff and chef! Atmosphere inside is also very clean, fancy, and relaxed! 10/10! Pay in cash or zelle
