I got there on a Friday at 1:05 at there was already a line!
It’s so hard to get actually good Jamaican food outside of South Florida, so I’m stoked this place exists. It’s not a fusion by any means, it’s exactly what I want. Good food for good value massive portions
- The rice and peas is great, coconuty, not mushy. - The oxtail is fall of the bone tender, gravy is amazing. Good amount of butter beans - Brown stew chicken was good too. Solid beef patties! Spiced beef, flaky pastry what else is there to add it’s a solid beef patty!
And the service was so sweet 🥺 the fried fish looked great, I would try it next time
PS. I forgot to take a picture before I ate most of it, but you just have to trust me it’s delicious

This chef deserves ALL the praise 👏 🙌 Everything is DELIGHTFUL! I cant say hidden gem bc the lines wraps to the door sometimes and she sells out daily! Absolutely worth the wait! A friend visiting from Georgia found this place months ago and Ive been hooked since! YUM!!!! From the dinners and desserts to the juices 10 stars!

Love their food. Wish they still did the taste of the island and had a few other items they used to. However change is good and things seem to be working out wonderfully. Glad to return to some great food after awhile of not eating there.

Cannot rave more. This was amazing. While my husband was out of town, I was in the mood for some good Caribbean food and a quiet spot. This hit the mark dead on. The food was authentic, absolutely delicious.... the staff was so nice and welcoming. Price was right too and the portions were excellent. I definitely will be back and next time with my husband. I had the small plate of jerk chicken and rice with peas. The lady so nice with recommendations and offered to put the curry gravy on the rice because I was torn between the curry or the jerk. The curry gravy on the rice was so amazing. That's a pro tip. I also bought the scotch bonnet paste made in house and it was perfect. To finish I got the mango bread and chocolate rum cake. Props to the mango bread. I now will not be able to live without it. Although I only ate about 10% of each thing I got (because I'm so petite), I have wonderful leftovers to get me through these next few rainy days. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful experience and see you again soon!

The pros : Well seasoned, everything looked and tasted authentic . That's about it. The bad : The temperature for serving this food is wayyyy off. Going from the store to my vehicle i wouldn't even call my food warm. And at a ridiculous price point you'd think you would have the basics down. Oxtail combo 27 bucks and they are extremely fatty and big boned. Another place serving scamtails. Looks to be a local favorite, in a run down building and neighborhood.

When I tell you I think about this food when I’m out of town! It is SOOO good! Hands down the best in town! Just for reference, the line is usually out of the door when they first open. Be sure to get oxtail gravy on the rice & peas! Thank me later. 😘
