So I was feeling hungry and wanted rasta pasta to eat and I drive 20 minutes just to buy it from this restaurant for $18 and omg I regret it the pasta taste so bad I had to throw it away, I would never buy back from here and I won’t recommend this place to anyone ? I did call and they said that they were closing idk ?‍♀️ so that simply means that they couldn’t do anything about it

I was running errands and I was in the area and decided to give this place a try. There were a moderate amount of people waiting for food and I decided to get a chicken patty and a platter of brown stew chicken for dinner a little later on once I got home and was ready for dinner. On the plus side I will say that the portions were decent for the price. This is more of a carry out spot but they do have a "bar" area on the right when you first come in and a few small tables and a DJ table. They were playing Jamaican oldies which I didn't mind and saw as a good sign. It took about 20 mins to receive my order, which is standard as they are prepping the food in the back and it's not in a pre-warmed hot tray/sterno type of set up. I saw they also have weekend specials but I decided to play it safe with brown stew chicken which, theoretically, would be hard to mess up. While the portions were decent/generous as I mentioned, the chicken manages to be dry and too "wet" at the same time! And some of the rice was hard like it had been refrigerated and reheated. The stew sauce also wasn't that great. If you are not Jamaican/don't have Caribbean roots this would probably be fine for you, but I was not impressed. I would however, give them a shot with maybe one of their weekend specials and a smaller portion. You also may want to call and order ahead if you are in a rush to save you some time. Parking is decent, it's like a strip situation with several other businesses nearby and a few spaces reserved specifically for the restaurant's customers. So not terrible, but I'm not in a rush to go again soon.

Let me get straight to the point....This is the best Jamaican food I've ever had.Period.The oxtails fell of the doggone bone y'all!!!And they were seasoned masterfully. Somebody in that kitchen knew exactly what they were doing! At other restaurants, they usually add too much clove or one spice is dominant above all others. The seasoning on these oxtails was perfectly balanced. The rice and peas were absolutely delicious. The rice was delightfully chewy and ever so slightly sweet. The shredded cabbage had the perfect mix of crunch and spice.And speaking of spicy, let's talk about this sorrel. I've never had sorrel with so much ginger. This drink has some BITE baby.... get you some of that!!The beef patty was flaky, a little spicy and very good. There was a little too much crust (or maybe not enough filling) for me, but it didn't take away from the taste at all.Aside from the incredible food, young lady behind the counter was very nice. Jamaican spots are not really known for their hospitality but it was great to get a plate of incredible food, minus the attitude.Aside from a few seats inside of the restaurant, there is also a small bar as well as a seating area outside with a fire pit. I might have to come back and bring my girls.This spot closes at 8:00 p.m. during the week (9:00 p.m. on Saturday), so make sure you get here in time to get you a plate of this deliciousness.

Common sense would tell you that I’m not saying put soya mushroom sauce as a condiment to the oxtail. I’m saying to use it as a main ingredient…duhh. It’s a main ingredient in Jamaica. The food was lacking flavor and you all should be ashamed of yourselves. If you feel such a way, maybe you should refund my money back!
