I have had nothing but exceptional service whenever I'm there, and believe me I have been there since they opened. Even family visiting from Trinidad the first place we visit is there. And we go back time and time again. So Kudos to the staff and especially the owner who always so professional and pleasant. Excellent atmosphere. great food. good service.. 10 stars..“

“I went to this restaurant based on the reviews. The first impression was that the meat lace was clean. The people were friendly. I wasn’t sure about some of the options and the offered a free taste. I went last minute after coming from a wake and wanted to feed a good amount of people. The food was excellent. Everyone wanted to know where the food came from. Finger licking good.“

“Lunch Special Brown Stew Chicken and Calallo Rice OMG“

“I’ve always loved taste rite patties, but in the last few purchases the patties has gotten way too spicy. They say it’s mild, but there is nothing mild about about it. Hopefully, management will see this and tone down the spice to where it was months ago.“

“What a great secret we found! We drove all the way from Ft Lauderdale Beach because the reviews were so good. I’m so glad we did! As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a warm and friendly smile and welcome from the woman behind the counter. Everything was so clean and organized, I was impressed! We got a lunch brown stew chicken and the oxtail, because that’s what he always wants but usually isn’t offered in a lunch option. Totally worth it! The food was so delicious, and you could tell that she put her heart in her cooking. Oxtail was so tender and the stewed chicken was the best I’ve had outside of Jamaica. We will probably go back today because she’ll have stewed peas, plantains, and mac and cheese available. And the juice tasted like real fruit. It was bottled in Kingston, of course. We will definitely be back when we get to the area. Thank you so much!“

“This is the best location. I went in to purchase two Easter Buns and the service from I entered in was amazing. I was greeted with a friendly smile and a warm welcome. Julian I believe is the name of the person who assisted me on my visit. I've visited other locations before but this one is my favorite. We buy our Easter Buns and spiced buns from here all the time. I'll definitely be back for some of that delicious food I smelled being cooked. Thank you for the lovely experience.“

“This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool ,the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good, some real Jamaican classics and they put their own little twists on things .for their prices it’s 100% worth it.... Big up Chef Rose & the Crew ????“

When my food came out, she was kind enough to put a couple of extras so I can try other things that my plate didn't come with (mac n cheese is chefs kiss).

The owner, Peats was pleasant as we all talked about Trinidad. We had doubles, Saheena, aloo pie, sada with saltfish and bake with saltfish. There’s plenty of drink options, homemade punch and ice creams as well as other Trini sweets! If we’re back in the area in the future we’ll be making it a priority to stop here again“

“I don’t usually do reviews unless customers service is TOP TIER-

1- inside is clean and neat
2- employees are always on the Go and help each others
3- There a gentleman who served me “Mike” is his name. He was very gentle in everything he did. He was very curtsy towards every customer. He’s demeanor was so kind and sincere that even myself felt good. These are the type of employees that deserves to be promoted!“

“A small Haitian cuisine takeout, tucked away like the ? it is...food is made to order, and probably the best around. Store is too quiet. Try to give the store life by playing music, or at least turn on the t.v. on. It's so quiet, i can hear the refrigerator running, as if I had bionic ears. Nonetheless, give them a chance, you won't regret it. Remember to support small businesses. ?????? Peace and Love.“
