The jerk chicken was almost on point smoked perfectly but is lacking just a little on flavor and a little dry the cabbage not favorable the rice and peas lacked the most flavor the curry chicken was on point over all not bad coming from up north if they tweak it just a little it would be worth the 70 I spent on 2 people but over all was decent
