I ordered from this restaurant off of Grubhub. Everything was good and plentiful. They fulfilled my request I submitted. My sides were macaroni and yams and they were delicious. The rice and beans and meat were well seasoned. I am very pleased with my experience and will be ordering again from this restaurant in the near future. Thank you!

Thank you for filling my last minute order for Mothers Day tomorrow. Restaurant team was so accommodating, professional, and on point. The jerk wings and fried wings are perfect for my picky family and the plantain is fire! Happy Mothers Day!🙏🏾

Ive only gotten delivery from here but have loved it every time. It's much better than some of the other places around in that it seems they cook your order fresh each time - chicken is always really good and fresh and not super dry. Can't comment on the authenticity of the food I see some people complaining about but I can tell you I order from here almost every pay day because I love it. Only complaints are I wish they included a free jerk sauce with your order and sometimes I wish you got more sides with the dinner. The yams and greens here are freakin delicious! I finish each off in like 3 bites.

That was amazing!!!! Fresh. Hot. Tasteful & tender. The meat was falling off the bone. The meat melted in your mouth.

Ordered the jerk chicken dinner but they was out. I was substituted with the Jerk Wings. It came with a bed of rice with my sides of choice yams & cabbage. 10/10. Will be back.

Not sure why the dressing is not on the menu anymore

Well the reviews are in , and I believe most of the 4 and 5 star ones are and were done by the owner and employees. Got there this past Sunday 03/23/2025, drove about 45min, from Hammond, Indiana. There were only 2 people inside, we were greeted and said someone would be right with us. Couple guys inside were huffing and puffing snd told there orders would be right up. You could tell they had been waiting awhile to later as we watch told there sides were not ready and take quite a bit longer. They both settled for something they didnt really want. I brung 5 people with me guaranteed we would have spent upwards of $200.00 bucks... After waiting 17minutes NO SERVICE...!!! Sucks these people dont care, never got to try the food for an honesy review, but seeing all the others time line makes it seem as if you guus are taking orders then running elseswhere to pick it up before the cusyomer gets it. So much for supporting black business. GET IT TOGETHER ...🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Very disappointed in my order. The rice and beans had too much gravy on top. The jerk chicken tasted very much like baked chicken with jerk/bbq sauce. It's so hard to find jerk restaurants that actually smoke/grill the chicken.

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.

We were pleasantly surprised by our meal! The jerk chicken was flavorful and all the sides were fantastic. In particular, the plantains and yams were among the best we’ve had in the city. The jerk sauce is thin and vinegary; it’s good but different. Portion sizes were solid; we had a lot of leftovers

This was a horrible experience I ordered a whole jerk chicken and got three thighs 4 legs and 3 wings no breasts. The chicken was baked with jerk sauce on top very hot with no taste. The cabbage was cooked with I guess turkey but was greasy and it's such a small container it didn't matter the peas and rice tasted burnt. I called the restaurant back to inquire as to why they advertise a whole chicken but just give chicken parts they put me on hold never returned to the call. I called back and the reply was the voice mail was full. Biggest rip off all I can say is don't waste your money.
