Believe the hype! 3pc jerk plate w Mac and green beans. Everything was 10/10
THE BEST JERK AND SOUL FOOD IN THE SOUTH SUBURBS. It is HARD to find a good jerk or soul food restaurant in the suburbs. Able to find one that’s good at both is rare. This place is a hit! The jerk lamb chops and rib tips are great. Perfectly seasoned and not too spicy. The greens, Mac and cheese and string beans are delicious. Definitely reminds you of a home cooked Sunday dinner at your mom or grandma’s house. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Jerk chicken is tooo fye
