I love this place, the cost to amount of food ratio is amazing for St. Pete and everything I've eaten has been delicious. The jerk chicken mini meal is my go-to.

I’m not one to spend time writing a review, weather, good or bad. But, my past two experiences were terrible.

Before today, I always said that if it wasn’t for the mail cashier, the place would be unwelcoming. Because poor, nauseating attitude. With everyone.

Today, I called with my complaints instead of leaving a review. I spoke to the young man for about seven minutes and the entire time he went back-and-forth with me in defense of me, not liking my past two orders. Any training in great customer service would’ve notion him to find a solution to the customers unhappiness.

So, I suppose bad customer service looks differently on different people. I initially wanted to avoid leaving a review because I like to keep my peoples businesses up, but today reminded me of a few things.

This is not the place over charge me for my food $23.00 for a side of rice and beans a drink and two really small pieces or king fish the service was very rude took my money when a whole meal was only 14.00 why do a paying person this way also for way nasty gave it to the trash after old mamma this place went down bad fine you another place to eat and be happy with your food and not mad about you money because this was truly a waste of time and money 💵 if you need good jamaican food go to miller's on 9st south and 22nd he is the best with the food and make you feel good about spending your money with him every thing I'm saying is a true story think you God bless

I Ordered a salad from ubers eat, how about they put no salad dressing in my order! I called the restaurant to let them know and the woman said oh well you have to put it in the notes you want dressing! Come on now its only common sense that dressing goes with a salad! SMH

Hot building with AC barely working, horrible service that they will try to justify especially the girl working today around 11am with a bad attitude. She mumbled continuously under breath after she was asked a question. Food was ok but by far not close to the best!!! Find another spot to visit

(DO NOT EAT HERE!) ( THEY SERVE SPOILED FOOD!)
This place has gone way down hill since I have ordered here years ago when they first opened. Me and hubby ordered delivery from here twice recently, yesterday was the last time. Both times I received food that reeked of spoiled garbage my poor husband he ate his and he's regretful that he did. (CONSUMERS BEWARE!)
