This is, by far, the best chicken and waffles I’ve had thus far in my life. Service was great and kind! Already recommended it to several friends in the area. ❤️“

“I have been here a total of 4 times and every time it is a hit ! I usually don’t do reviews but when something is good I definitely support I usually stop and get a donut at Dat Donut and then I walk down and grab some jerk, the location and atmosphere I would only stop during the daytime but as far as the food it is reasonably priced, the portions are large, the jerk chick is really good so is the rice and peas very soft and cabbage, the Mac and Cheese I will say is bland and it is a 3$ up charge lately they have not had any plantains which is a disappointment but I will say if you want some good authentic jerk food try Jerk it iz.“

“I visited the bloohol today because I like oxtails and the reviews said the oxtails were good. Well just let me say this !! The owner let me take a peek at them before I left and they looked and smelled delicious. So I went to the car and took a bite SMH why did I do that I could not stop eating them !! They were very fresh, tender and flavorful. The rice they came with was a perfect compliment to the oxtails and tasted good too and I am not a rice person. I did not make it home with my dinner !! I had dinner in the car and licked every finger loudly and proudly. If you like oxtails do yourself a favor you got to try bloohol !!“

“Food wise... Outstanding. Absolutely delicious. I think it might be laced with illegal substances or something. Also, the proportions are very generous.

Aside from that, definitely a take out kind of place. Inside was not too clean, and it was only high chairs. No frills. Took longer than I expected but definitely worth the wait. I will definitely return. Yams were a little too sweet.

My $20 meal
Jerk chicken, rice and beans, cabbage, yams, can of pepsi. Paid cash to save money.“

The rice and beans was just okay I think it needed more flavor and the gravy as well. Other than that glad my order was made fresh hot and correctly! Also I feel like plantation should come with dinners. Bummer.“
