We went to the Brunch. They only had 3 chicken options and whiting, plantain, rice and peas and cabbage. The food was delicious but for the price they should offer more variety. I was expecting a renovation from that old Pizza Hut location but there were no real changes/upgrades.

I would stop there on my way home which was 45 minutes from the restaurant and order beef patty with coco bread and sometimes a 10 piece jerk wings. The bar was live and looked fun with people enjoying themselves. I never dined in just take out. I was always told the appetizer took a while cause they were made to order from scratch. On Thursday October 30th I ordered fried plantains and beef patty with coco bread. Was told it'll take 25 minutes. An hour passed and was told it'll take 7 more minutes . 7 more minutes passed ( I gave them 10) and no food . I canceled and got my money back.

From my assessment this is more of a bar than a restaurant and food is secondary . If you only wanna go and have a drink you'll be fine : otherwise you'll be wasting your time.

Excellent from the time we were greeted in the parking lot until we left. I am so glad that we decided to stay and wait for the doors to open. The beef ribs and jerk chicken were seasoned to perfection, tender and moist. The beans & rice and plantain were seasoned very well. We cannot forget the coco bread - it was excellent. If you happen to be in the Bowie area, you must stop in Shantoo Togetherness. You can get your food as spicy as you like it or not too spicy at all. Will definitely go back and highly recommend a visit.

The music, atmosphere, and host were exceptional. See you again real soon.

I don’t even know how the food is…. A group of 4 of us went in there and waited over 40 minutes for our APPETIZERS… After all that we had to leave.

My spouse and I went to dine on a Saturday afternoon and we arrived at 5:30 pm. We decided to pay for our drinks and go to another restaurant at 7:00 pm when we were still waiting for our entrees!! We ordered two red stripe beers that were served at room temperature instead of cold. And the women’s bathroom was an awful site.

My family decided not to cook today and try this restaurant and the food was horrible. The estcoveish fish was worst ever, the curried chicken and curried goat was tasteless and short of curry. We also did not get the tropical rhythm we paid for. We spent $152 for an awful experience

I've been to this place twice. Folks are friendly but the staff are so engaged in their conversations (including yelling across the bar to each other) that you have to wait long periods of time for everything. My last visit there were only about 5 of us at the bar and after the bartender took our drink orders it took at least 20 minutes to receive them. Food was mediocre and there was no folllow up after we were served. We had to ask for everything (water refills, forgotten portion of the order). Not sure if they will make it if the customer service doesn't improve, especially for what we spent.

Celebrated our Anniversary here last night. The food was amazing, service was top tier with an overwhelming since of community. Had a chance to meet the owner and he was just as delightful.

First, Food was Amazing...taste, spice, freshness and a wide variety beyond what we were expecting. 🤤🤩
Drinks were also delicious. Manchester Mule was smooth and can't go wrong with Rum Punch where you taste the liquor as you should.
Service was pretty good. Waitress and Cook were friendly and professional. Drinks took a little bit but we'll worth the wait.
Atmosphere was nice, art and vibes fit except the TV doing having weird shows on 🤔

Hello Hunny Bees!! 🌻🐝 👑 💛💕It's your girl Hunny back with a review of another local small business.

Upon driving up I'm immediately excited because this place looks like a Jamaican Hut from the outside so I know this gonna be goodt 😋. We walk in and we are immediately hit in the nose with the smell of pine it was awful 😞. I didn't smell any food. There was a nice gentleman who greeted us. Y'all know I love good customer service. He immediately sat me and my sister. He said they have an electronic menu. I have my drink order and went to the restroom 🚻 y'all the womens bathroom was disgusting 🤮 🤢 so I went to the mens and the toilet tissue was stuck on the the other side it was a mess. I finally go and run back to the front and tell the gentleman the bathrooms are atrocious. I instantly became irritated. I knew I was in the mood for oxtails so I ordered the oxtails and curry goat combination with plantains and a garden salad as my my side $44!!! My oxtails was too sweet no salt or seasoning but it was tender so I guess I get what I can the goat is tender but no salt or seasoning. The plantains were good. My salad 🥗 was just Arugula, white onion and shredded carrots. No cucumber 🥒 no tomato 🍅 I ordered saltfish fritters and it was really no saltfish in it just dough and grease. I ordered steam dumplings they were not soft at all. I'm like damn. I paid way too much for this food and the mediocre service. I always give places another chance. So I will give them another chance and then update my review.

I do not like giving bad views to restaurants, but this place was so horrible..I went there last night to order food... They did tell me that it would be an hour for take out..I was cool with that do to They act They did warn me that they were very busy.. I order oxtail, fried shrimp, jerk pork , waffle fries. I notice while I was waiting They were turn people away for take out, even the online order for pick up, letting the delivery person know they the food was not ready and it will be a wait.. I finally got my food and left the restaurant. I was in my vehicle and something total me to check my food. I check and noticed I was missing a item.. I go back into the restaurant and person said I know you missing a item and I know what it is, we just talk about your item that we did not put in the bag. The fries was not fresh, you could tell they been sitting in a heated, the oxtail they only give me four very small pieces, other place give you a nice potions of oxtail that cost me $28 dollar. The jerk pork was pork rib with bone in. Never in all my year seen jerk pork done like this. The cost waa $30 dollar for the jerk pork. The owner would be a shame for this..I always try to support black and brown business, but this was not right in so many way..I came here do to a review I saw on Instagram... Now the bar was so loud customer sitting there eating there food look over at the bar and shaking their head. So much loud cussing for know reason..I do understand that bar section get loud, but this was ridiculous... I also noticed that one person that was sitting at a table came up several times trying to get his food he order...Finally got his food 10 min before me.. So my hour wait turn to be an hour and 30min.. They had the nerve to said so for the wait, I hope you come back we it not this busy...Pls.. They owner really need to get things in order...
