Meatballs this go around were terrible, have had them there in the past and loved them. Bad batch I guess. Everything else was fine, got jerk chicken tender, buff chicken tenders, and chicken Caesar sandwich with no other complaints. But had to toss the meatballs, really tough dry and lacking in flavor

The name speaks for itself. The food is delicious, the place is clean and the service is great, they bring the food to you. The only thing they left out of their name is Holyfield!! ????????????
Parking: Parking at the Real Deal restaurant in Jamaica Plain can be a little bit difficult since it is on street parking. But you can find parking not too far from the real deal behind the Eastern Bank on Centre Street!
