This has gotta be one of the best Jamaican food outside of Jamaica. I can tell that this chef takes pride in every single dish she makes. The flavors are outstanding and every item I tried was so well seasoned, I can't rave about it enough! Must try foods: Beef Patty, Jerk Ribs, Jerk Pork, Stewed Oxtail, Rice n Beans, steamed Cabbage, Festival, Potato Salad, Mac n Cheese and their sweet, super moist cornbread. The restaurant itself is small and quaint, but what it lacks in space, they make up for it in the quality of their Jamaican food. There were only 2 people working when I visited. The friendly gentleman taking the orders and the lovely chef who sang and danced to some dancehall music that played on the tv. She had such a wonderful smile and brought me some complimentary items from the kitchen to try. Will definitely be back for roti and pholourie!

They opened early for me when they didn’t have to, best collard greens I’ve ever had. Amazing portions. Jerk was very good as well. Rice and peas were amazing ! 10/10 recommend this place!

The customer service was outstanding, everyone was very welcoming. Starting the beef patty was tasty, dough was flaky. My friends chicken was very tender, juicy and had tons of flavor. The steamed cabbage was good. The seasoning was good, the beans and rice had great flavor and the hot sauce was very good.My only problem was the Ox Tail stew. It was mostly tough, some of it was tender but I'm used to a stew and ox tail is cooked low and slow to make it tender fall off the bone. I would go back and try something else, goat curry looked good with lots of meat.

First time eating Jamaican food and will absolutely be trying it again. The food was phenomenal and service was amazing. The staff was super friendly and the inside was clean and well kept. If I wasn’t broke I would’ve left a fat tip.

Simply awesome! J*** chicken, j*** wings, oxtail and the rice and peas. Cabbage side and Mac and cheese(not traditional) were absolutely delicious. If you like heavily spiced or hot, I would probably ask for it. Would go again in a heartbeat.

This was the smallest portion of food I’ve ever gotten at a Jamaican spot.. I paid 14 bucks for curry chicken and was shocked to see that this is what I got.. 3 pieces of chicken over rice and peas, a small amount of cabbage..and a dumpling ball??? I’m from Fort Lauderdale where Jamaican spots are a big thing and they give us our moneys worth to where u can share it with someone.. I wish I can get my money back..I won’t be returning. I’ll just have to drive further to another Jamaican spot!

I called in and ordered j*** chicken and two beef patty’s. Reiterated the order when I got there, and said again, two beef patty’s along with j*** chicken , and still only received one beef patty. The menu says all meals are served with rice AND cabbage. So I ordered an additional side of mac & cheese but got no cabbage… The food was ok. I was expecting a bit more chicken and it wasn’t spicy at all like I would expect j*** to be. The Mac & cheese and festival bread tasted great.It’s worth a try and the service was good.

Great food and a great overall experience. The people are friendly and the atmosphere is nice. They are getting busier and I love to see this. They deserve all the traffic they get and I can’t wait to see them grow! Keep up the amazing food!
