Highly recommend this place if you wanna try Jamaican food/soul food. Me and my family were nearby the area after our trip from Galena, and came across this place after searching a place to eat. The food was delicious and me and my family ordered one whole Jamaican jerk chicken (plain) and 3 Jamaican jerk bbq chicken dinner (mild sauce) with a side of rice and Mac and cheese. Both the sides tasted great and the chicken from both flavors tasted delicious as well!! Would def come back if nearby the area again.

Small spot, folks were super friendly, I had the 3 taco special. The food was very tasty. Bring cash, although I didn't have cash, but they accept venmo, cash app, and possible a few others. I only rated the atmosphere a 3 because it's carry out and the bulding isnt fancy (because we all know some of you are bougie). Don't judge this business by its lack of curb appeal. Try the food and you won't be disappointed.

Food was terrible. If you decide to eat here, use cash. The kid that works here stole my CC number
Reply: Who cares about a few Google review points. I don't want people to get screwed over because of a dishonest business. How about you ask your son about the $90 Temu order that got denied because he didn't have the correct billing address or maybe check the purchase history on the Call of Duty app on his phone. I can give you his IP address if you want it.
I had been staying at hotel near this place and decided to try it out. This is a family owned place with food that is made with love! Wow! I was extremely surprised how savory and delicious the food was. I had everything on the menu from the curry goat to the BBQ chicken wings. The oxtails are to die for. Call ahead and make sure they have them because they sell out fast. It’s a small place. No tables but worth the trip!! Feeds the soul if you know what I mean.
Parking: Parking is free, pull in and find a spot to park. Parking is also available in front of restaurant on the street.
This is a carryout only establishment. The Staff was super friendly and helpful. Every family has the one person who is a terrible cook but doesn't know it Mr. or Mrs. Duckman, who's ever the cook, is that person. I've had the opportunity to have many Jamaican meals from home cooks and professionals all were better than Duckman's. I ordered food for my family; we didn't enjoy anything. I ordered Jerk Chicken dinner with cabbage and red beans and rice (rice and peas) Stewed Chicken with mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. The entrees: The spices didn't marry well. Jerk Chicken someone hasn't learned how to properly use a grill the jerk chicken was reminiscent of bad backyard barbecues with the flappy chicken skin and dry meat. Stew chicken had sauce and was moist, but it wasn't tasty it was spicy but yet lacked flavor. The sides: red beans and rice was actually what Caribbean people call rice and peas (rice usually cooked with a bit of coconut milk and dried beans are added) it didn't taste like any coconut milk was used. The cabbage wasn't bad it didn't have carrots like I've had from every other Jamaican, but no biggie. The mac and cheese was straight out of the box cheese flavor packet used but no milk to mix it topped with cheese that looked melted hours prior. The sweet potatoes were over cooked but tasted ok. I got someone's banana pudding by mistake. I do not like banana pudding at all. I hate bananas and can't stand soggy cookies, so I didn't try it. My teenage son who eats everything tried it and hated it, so he threw it away. I cannot recommend this place to anyone
Parking: small parking lot but it's fine

Delish! The flavor is on point! The whole chicken is so smoky and seasoned beautifully. The portions are very generous.
