I came and ordered Togo. The inside is nice and cozy. The girl that took my order was nice. I ordered oxtails. I have it a 4 because it was really good but missing the Jamaican flavor. I think they toned it down for everyone to enjoy it. The rice was ok. Could be more grainy. You will enjoy the meal.

I called this establishment prior to dining in, and the young man that answered the phone was very professional and enthusiastic. When I arrived, he was very hospitable.

I had the curry chicken and oxtail combo — it was delicious, tender, and the portions were large.

I look forward to coming back and trying some of the jerk chicken.

Thanks Julian! You went above and beyond.

We ordered the 3 Meat BBQ Plate and thd Ox Tail and Chicken Jerk Plate. Both were incredibly delicious and flavorful. This place is true to its name. I felt like I was at someone's backyard barbecue where everything was cooked with love. I could have eaten an entire bowl of the jerk seasoning alone. The only part that wasn't great were the fries that came with the BBQ plate, but everything else more than made up for that. Will definitely be coming here again.
