The food never disappoints. But we went on a Saturday night the wait was long and I think they need to provide a sitting bench or some chairs

The food was delicious šŸ˜‹. Just watch your back in this neighborhood. Well worth the risk. Did I mention the Obama egg roll is like a meal in it self.

My coworker recommended this place so I tried it. Now when I get off work I place an order if I don't cook. Jerk chicken Philly and ribs are great! The sauce should be bottled and sold it's so good.

Honest as always.
Customer service: The people at the counter were nice and they got the order right.
They had 4 people outside waiting (2 in car, then an older lady and a man on his lunch) they said it opened at one they didn’t let anyone in until 1:20pm. Your main supporters are your own.
We support black owned business,and we would like support and respect to the people spending their hard earned money with your establishment. Everyone says you closed on some days, don’t answer, or open late why have people waste gas or lunch break. Be professional and exceptional not the ā€œnormā€ of a BOB with no etiquette. Treat the people like y’all treated Chicago’s Best. Integrity matters.

I’ve been here before and it wasn’t great I decided to try again I don’t know if it was the cooks because everyone gives 5 stars it was not good at all and ruined our appetite. None of us liked the food it was bland.

Ordered chicken Philly Obama Obama eggroll and mini tip. My daughter said the mini tips were very hard. My fiancĆ© didn’t like the Obama said it was blah. I threw the chicken Philly out I’m big on flavor maybe I ordered the wrong things.
Only thing we liked were the fries. No diss my opinion if you ever try mini chi chi or perfect jerk bbq jerk tips you’ll see. Idk what the hype is with the food.

Wonderful Woman

Rib tips, wings, and Philly were awesome. I'm definitely going back. BUT they opened up 30 minutes late, and we had to wait another 30 minutes to get our orders. Jay's have to do better. They could've at least offered a free drink to all the customers that were waiting. And why no call in orders.

I had an amazing experience! The chicken wings were good, and the sauce was fantastic. I did think the wings could use a bit more seasoning, but I'm not someone who usually overdoes it with spices— I don't even use salt! The ribs, jerk ribs, and eggrolls were all definitely in my top 10.

Unfortunately I don’t have an experience because twice I’ve driven from the suburbs only to find them closed when it was showing being open. And now I just tried again and I couldn’t call in the order and when I got there it was a hour and a half wait for rib tips. I give up trying this establishment.

I ordered a chicken burrito, and the meat was very dry. I took two bites from my burrito and could not eat anymore. It was very nasty. Won't get my hard earn money anymore.

Great tasting food but they are always out. In the last 6 months I've been to this restaurant 9 times and not one time did they have actual ribs. The customer service is bad as well. Not only are you never greet led with a smile but the cashier and the person that give you your food acts as if they are upset you came in. I hope they do better but until then...
