Food is good, but the owner is rude, and obnoxious. I supported this restaurant for years, but I recently caught the owner on a bad day and had enough. It’s also disgusting watching her talking negatively about some her customers.

Food here is not that good and the services is not pleasant. Its crazy how we keep spending our money with company's that's rude to you for no reason.

I got the jerk chicken and rice with peas, cabbage and plaintains, it came out piping hot and delicious! The chicken was fall off the bone tender, with a good amount of spice. Plantains helped sweeten everything up, and the rice soaked in gravy was perfect! It's a simple restaurant, mostly for to go but had tables for a quick sit down meal. Would definitely come back, the salt fish another customer got looked sooo good!

I was sorely disappointed in the food. The oxtail was tender, but flavorless and the sauce was almost tasteless. The bbq chicken was average with no flavor but the store bought tasting bbq sauce. The beef patty was well spiced and tasty.
The service was fast and friendly, but the dinning area was so hot it would have been more comfortable to eat in my car.

Very rude, no customer service. Didn’t get any food due to the poor customer service.

I’ve dined here 5-6 times while visiting and assisting at an apartment community that my company owns that’s literally down the street. I was looking for an authentic Jamaican restaurant and I found it while walking around Walmart googling, I didn’t read any reviews, I only cared about the close proximity it was to my hotel room and the property I was assisting with. When I arrived there I knew it would be excellent, not too small and just enough seating space if one wanted to dine in. The waiter/ cook was very nice and friendly, very homely atmosphere, the food is great. I had the oxtail dinner with a side of macaroni and cheese that was to die for , it was the best Mac n cheese I’ve ever had and also had a beef patty that was spicy but very enjoyable. Everytime I visit my other property from now on , this will be my dinner spot. I wish they had this exact place in the Augusta Ga area. I have been back in almost a year but I plan on going there on one of my off days ✊🏾

Food is always good, but unfortunately I wouldn't patronize this place any longer. I was really hungry and just got off work I drove a long way because i wanted some Jamaican food I had enough money to pay for my food but I needed to do a split payment. The lady at the counter said she didn't know how to do it....I said I really want the food and she just told the guy to put the food back. I left with soup that I ordered for someone else and ended up not eating anything after a long fay at work.

Food is great & I have never had an issue with my orders. The owner reminds me of the ole school auntie who cooks exceptionally well & doesn't take crap from nobody, because she knows her food is the best. And it is the best. I drive almost 20min from Powder Springs to get their brown stew chicken plates.

I have been going here for two years. They know me when I walk in and are very friendly. My favorites are the brown stew chicken and the stew fish. I also love the chicken soup and beef patties. I am always pleased with my service and food.

I got some food from this restaurant today, and I wouldn't normally leave a review, but after paying $71.00 for 2 plates of Oxtail that I didn't enjoy, I decided to leave a review of this restaurant.
I'm a truck driver who travels for a living, and I love food from the Caribbean, but sadly to say, I WILL NOT BE EATING AT THIS RESTAURANT ANY LONGER...!!!
The food had no flavor, The red beans and rice were gummy, and the service was below average ..
Ps... Yes, I ate the food because I paid for it but that won't happen again...!!!!
