The food is sensational!!! I’m not big on sauce being on my food, the sauce was amazing. It was on the side but WOW, everything was delicious. I wish me and the wife had known about this establishment when we first arrived, we would have visited more than once.

Took 30 mins to make a sandwich when there was nobody in line.

The jerk chicken was really tender and spiced perfectly. Deliciously paired up with rice and peas, cabbage, and plaintains. Great portion, highly recommend d

Call ahead for this good food to pick it up and eat it elsewhere. Jerk chicken, curry goat, and all the wonderful sides were delicious.

If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! The owner of this amazing jerk chicken spot is truly one-of-a-kind. Not only is the food out of this world, but his humility and commitment to excellent customer service set him apart from anywhere else. From the moment you walk in, you can tell he genuinely cares about every customer and their experience.

He goes above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied—whether it's offering a friendly greeting, taking the time to chat, or making sure you get exactly what you're craving. His attention to detail is unmatched, and it's clear he takes pride in every dish he serves. You can tell he’s passionate about what he does, and it’s that kind of dedication that makes this place stand out.

It’s rare to find someone so humble and dedicated to their craft while still providing the best possible service. If you're in the area, you owe it to yourself to check it out. You won't just leave with a full stomach—you'll leave with a smile, knowing that you’ve experienced something special. Thank you to the owner for being the true definition of customer service excellence!

The best jerk pork and chicken I’ve had! Very limited seating available so be prepared to take the food away to eat.

Worst food on the entire island. Can't believe they have the audacity to call this Jamaican!! Where is the flavor?! We had a couple bites and threw it into the trash where it belongs.

Over priced not authentic and just gross , took 30 minutes for them to take my order and another 45 to bring it out and when it came it was gross, dry and bland , I’ve been to countless Jamaican restaurants from ma to ny to and everything in between and this was by far the worst experience I could have asked for 1-100 will not try again luckily he’s in key west so his only hope is his drunk customers not knowing what they are consuming BE WARNED: DO NOT EAT HERE
