Love their food. The lunch specials are wroth it. The jerk chicken is amazing and the oxtail are great but like everywhere else expensive. Street parking only !!

Unfortunately, this place has changed over the years (since Covid). Customer service has never been their strong suit but the food was usually good (except for a time or two). They must have changed chefs or ownership. The jerk chicken needed more time on the grill for the seasoning to cook through, tasted like the seasoning was just added, asked for jerk sauce and brown stew gravy, got neither. Curry chicken was too salty and not well seasoned. Rice & Peas was too soft and not enough cabbage (the mixed veggies are unnecessary), plantains should come with it. Lunch special cost increased but the amount of food decreased (smaller container), make it make sense. Shrinkflation at its finest. If the prices increase, the taste and quality should also increase but sadly it has been the opposite. I wasnât greeted or acknowledged but the next customer behind me was while I was still at the register gathering my orderâŠI will not be returning.

Order two meals there after my total was $28.98 guy cash a additional misc item just because he did not want to give me my change I left sat in car and let me tell you food was terrible rice was what we Jamaicans call placka placka chicken tasted overnights was a big disappointment husband ate the salmon from his but could not eat the rice and thatâs normally the first thing that leaves his plate

The jerk chicken is Fantastic and well priced. Authentic Jamaican food, made by Jamaicans, run by Jamaicans and an experience that makes your visit feel even more authentic. I usually eat mine out of the container on the hood of my car or back of my truck.

If I could give this less than 1 star, i absolutely would. In the past, this place was really good. Now, I feel like I have given this place 1 too many chances and their rice constantly disappoints me. The rice tastes like itâs at least 3 days old. It tastes stale. I didnât even know if stale could be a taste but they made it possible. I am completely flabbergasted as to how such an establishment is still standing. Their Brown Stew Fish was utterly disgusting. The âstewâ was so thick, it felt and tasted like straight up ketchup. I wiped as much of the âstewâ off, hoping to salvage the fish but the fish was over cooked. I even took it up another notch and added Matoukâs Hot sauce to it and I still couldnât get the food down. The cabbage was probably the only possible good thing on my plate and even so it wasnât seasoned. I absolutely hate wasting food, and yet I had to throw my plate out. I feel like I was bamboozled. The workers were decent. Not nice but not rude either.

I used to eat here and it was good I don't know what happened I just bought four meals jerk chicken, And I swear to you it was all burnt chicken, I mean like burnt that's all you taste was char You never again.... Paid for it, and had to throw it all out, it made the rice in the entire meal nasty.
Did is way too expensive and it's not that good. Purchased 2 oxtail dinners with rice and another dinner 67.+ Awful!! ????????????

My husband an I love Jamaican food. However this place was not the place to go to. They discriminate and are very racist.There was Sign on window that said $6 lunch special. My husband went in and ordered the jerk chicken lunch special. When he confirmed how much it was, the employee goes on to say $12. when my husband questioned and asked why does it say $6 on the sign outside, the employee said â thatâs not a price for you man â.My husband confused but still goes on to say it says $6 on the window lunch special, the employee just continues to say â yeah and I just told you thatâs not your price manâ!Not an ideal way to run your business.

I used to love this place. But the last few times I've been I did not like the servers they have in there. Some kid, he looks really young, and also another young lady. Very skimpy with portions, don't give you any meat and no gravy. The rice is always dry. Ordered a brown stew, Jerk chicken w/ extra sauce and curry goat. I got only a portion of a thigh for the jerk chicken, no extra sauce, the brown stew barely had meat. And they gave me 2 pieces of goat meat with a little bit of gravy! I won't be back at the Housatonic location unless they replace the new servers they have in there. They won't be getting my business. What a waste!

Recently I have been getting my food cold. Rice cold, chicken cold. Not a way to service paying customers as a hot food restaurant no matter the time. Not satisfied at all. Will not be going back.
