UNFORTUNATELY I CAN TELL THERE IS DIFFERENT COOKS IN THE KITCHEN AND EITHER THE MEAT VENDOR CHANGED OR THE VENDOR CHANGED THE MEAT...THE MEAT QUALITY CHANGED DRAMATICALLY. THE CHICKEN GRILLED SKIN IS SOGGY AND THE CHICKEN BONES ARE BROKEN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I ORDERED FROM HERE AND THE CHICKEN BONES ARE BROKEN...ALL MY CHICKEN LEGS ARE BROKEN OFF AT THE BOTTOM...NOT EVEN CUT...BROKEN...THE STEWED CHICKEN AND MY QUARTER DARK CHICKEN. THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT THE CHICKEN IS BAD QUALITY. WHY IS THIS BEING SERVED. BROKEN BONES IN CHICKEN INDICATED THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ANIMAL...WE NEVER SPOKE ABOUT THIS ISSUE...NOT SURE WHY THE REPLY SAYS WE HAD A CONVERSATION. WE DIDN'T....I ORDERED DOOR DASH...

I really enjoyed the food that I purchased from here! The jerk chicken, oxtails and chicken stew were flavorful and tender. The rice and peas was also good. The only complaint that I have is that the mac n cheese was not good, but it’s edible. Overall, I will definitely be back again!

The jerk egg rolls and tacos were delicious.

I came in last night (03/14/25) before hitting the highway to head home, Food was AMAZING ! The only downside was I purchased the 2 meat + 2 side + an extra side & only received one of my meats. Total was almost $30. Didn’t realize until I was already home 2hrs away eating my meal. I received my jerk chicken, but not my stew meat (I think that’s what it’s called). I was the lady with the baby sitting down. I will say that buddy was back there doing all the work himself and that line kept piling up, so I get it. 😩 I just would've loved to have tasted the other meat & that mean my leftovers (that I’m eating rn) would be bigger 👏🏽🤣 lol

Me and my wife visited here for the 1st time after my drs appointment, the hostess at the front table was very nice, cordial.
The food was delicious we had the 3 meat plater everything was phenomenal
There was a few customers that were upset there food wasn't ready in 5 mins when they just ordered the food.
This place is a fresh from scratch kitchen this isn't fast food, this is good fresh food
I felt bad for her cause of the customers being ignorant of the vibe they have here
Honestly keep it up! We need more places like this!
5/5 stars
I'm sorry I forgot your name! I didn't want to spell it wrong but the lady in the red hoodie was awesome!

The food was amazing! We got the chicken tips and the dark jerk chicken and the oxtail. The sides were so tasty. Recommend the yams, rice/peas, and the cabbage. The cabbage was out of this world.

Ohmigoodness! Such an amazing meal, everything was so flavorful. The chicken was so tender and juicy. We got the pick 3 meat 2 sides for $19, and got 3 meals out of it. Everything was delicious, the curry chicken, the chicken tips, the fried jerk chicken, and the sauce on the side, was so spicy, but it hurt sooo good! ??
Can't wait to go back, please help patron the place, the construction is annoying yes, but the place is open! Can't afford to lose this gem!

My husband and I ordered dinner Sunday night. We just moved close to the area from the city so we were surprised to see a Jamaican spot close to the house. Beef Pattie I was not a fan of I’ve never had a deep fried Pattie. Rice and peas were good , jerk chicken was good . We like honey jerk wings and the burrito we definitely would come for lunch.
Some other things we plan try as well in the future.
We will be coming back !

Food is really tasty, but the pickup times are ridiculously long. It should not take 15-20 minutes for a 1/4 chicken plate.
