It was a good place to for lunch with a friend! My only complaint would be that the service was a bit slow, but the quality of the food was definitely worth it. Great atmosphere, good food, and friendly staff.

Wanted to give this place another shot as it's been about a year and a half since I last tried, food was decent but found a hair (definitely not mine) in my salad. Restaurants definitely need to bring back mandatory hairnets!!!

The best Jamaican food around. Food and drinks never disappoint. My favorite is the perk chicken dinner. The red beans and rice, plantains, and i chose steamed cabbage for my side. Yum
