Came here last minute on New Years Eve and ordered like 9-10 individual plates. As you can imagine orders changes people wanted different things etc. Everything was done within the hour. Food was good and fresh and the staff was so great and patient with me. The customer service was great and I wish more places could be like this.

I ordered the oxtail combo with jerk chicken, peas and rice, steamed cabbage and yams. I also had a beef patty. Beef patty was good and flaky. The steamed cabbage is good. While the oxtails taste fine I’m disappointed that there isn’t any of the oxtail juice/ gravy. They are dry, the rice is also dry. I’m accustomed to gravy always being on the rice. I didn’t ask for gravy because I assumed the oxtails would have juice/gravy as I’ve always had it at other restaurants. The yams were HORRIBLE. Not only are they an unnatural color they just taste bad. Back to the oxtails they almost weren’t there for the minuscule amount that’s included. Three slivers of oxtail. I had no idea you could even cut them this thin! The audacity to charge 20anything for them is a crime. I definitely feel robbed for $42 when the only thing I was completely happy with was the beef patty. I’ve been eating Jamaican food my entire life and this was a huge disappointment. My advice is to actually offer oxtails and not these slivers of bone and gristle and add the Juice/gravy if said meat because letting them dry out on top of the dry rice doesn’t help when they’re so thin to start with.

Food was to salty. Oxtails dinner and brown stew chicken dinner to much salt. Tasted old leftover rice also salty. Will never return. Drove a long distance to be disappointed. Paid over 47 dollars. The beef patties pie was okay

I've had the jerk chicken, curry chicken and curry goat. Sides I've tried are the yams, macaroni & cheese, and the cabbage. Always great!!! No complaints. Inside is clean and the people are so nice. The music they play, I be jamming while I wait lol.

Horrible oxtail, horrible food, horrible experience I’d never go back here again. Overly priced food for nothing that tastes good. Plantains were rubbery, Mac and cheese was at most decent. Beans and rice were the most disgusting thing to ever come near my mouth. Dont go to this dump.
The food was ok. The cabbage was my favorite! I had to pay extra for a piece of bread that should have come with my dinner. Paid for extra gravy, which I didn't receive! But overall I liked the food!! Mac and cheese was horrible !!!!!!!!

The chicken was very tender, sweet potatoes were good, mac cheese was a bit dry not cheesy the rice and beans would have been good with gravy.

The customer service is pleasant and they answered questions when asked. I ordered the Oxtail dinner on two different occasions and I was disappointed in the texture of the Oxtails. They were tough not tender.
They were chewy as well. I'll stick with the Jerked chicken dinner.

Ordered a lunch dinner they told me 3 pieces of chicken comes with it but only gave me 2 pieces, they just cut the thigh in half. Not cool because for the amount I paid for it, the quantity she be the same. And the macaroni and the wings wasn't available, this the 2nd time these items wasn't available. Hope they get better with that.
