I am from the West Indies. This food is VERY bland! I paid $32.00! This was my first time eating from here and it is my last. I ordered oxtails, rice and beans, and cabbage with a side of macaroni and cheese. My stomach is killing me! There was A LOT of fat on my oxtails. Americans—don’t be fooled.

The minute I realized I was in the area I made it top priority to get there and when I did that’s when Heaven opened up to me. Yes I was blessed with the words to say, “Oxtail’s please!” With a big smile and loving personality the woman taking my order walked me through the sides. I must say that it was very hard paying attention due to the great smells of other very delicious meals being prepared. The atmosphere is so peaceful and very helpful, as I became excited to taste the masterpiece that was being produced just for me. So as I was called up to collect my meal all I could think about was eating, and yes you guessed right I didnt make it back to work however I pulled over in the parking lot and devoured the delicious food. Thank you Taste Buds for the very wonderful experience in food heaven

It was my first time visiting this restaurant. My friend told me about it. I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and welcoming the staff was. Surprisingly, the menu was very quite extensive. The food was fresh and hot jus how I like I like it. I got the oxtail and their serving was pretty good, but the highlight for me was the cocoa bread. Overall, I was not disappointed, and definitely would go back.

I got the curry goat with mac and cheese and plantains (below) and my brother got the oxtail, and as soon as we took the lids off I came to the verge of tears. This food was so damn good, I will definitely be making this the main spot for my caribbean cuisine.

Dont order online thinking your going to run in and get your food and run out-THAT was not the case I paid for my food online and was ALMOST DENIED picking up my order cause I did not have my ID and the card that I used to complete the order. The the MANAGER her self told me it was due to fraud and that she looses money because of it... then told me she could not give me my food with out proof because they was watvhing the cameras. I asked her who THEY could be if she was the manager and the owner...She was lying through her teeth.

I ordered Jerk salmon, I'm not sure what the fish they was passing off as salmon. But, I'll never go back! Been patronizing that place for 25, years! Never again!

To be honest, i rushed home (safely of course) to try this food since it looked so good! Also I just wanna say that the customer service was some of the best i’ve ever had. The daughter of the restaurant owners was the one who served me, she was very nice and welcoming. The food was also very good! (I bought the oxtail and cassava stew (large) along with white rice and greens as sides for both, I also bought mac and cheese and coco bread.) It all came up to around $54 but the portions are BIG (to me) so I found it very worth the price. Anyways, i’m definitely coming back again to try different menu items. I love good food??

I love this restaurant. I come here several times a week (2-3), spending an average of $25 each visit. Do the math. I love supporting black owned businesses.I have had completely positive experiences here until the young lady who I believe is the daughter/ relative of the male owner started running things. She is always on iphone headphones while interacting with customers. Yesterday, I placed an online order for cassava leaf stew. First, the order wasn’t ready when I arrived. Not a big deal. Second, when I opened the container to eat my meal, there was noticeably less sauce and the top piece of chicken was without sauce entirely. Still not so big of a deal. Since I love this place so much I decided to return for my usual - cassava leaf stew and fufu. Because of the prior days experience with the sauce, I decided to ask for the sauce on the side. The young lady first became frustrated and said she had to void the order because I asked for sauce on the side after she ran the transaction. Then she said that the sauce and chicken were cooked together, so I couldn’t have sauce on the side. Completely false. Then she said it was 50 cents extra for sauce on the side. After she opened the chicken pan and it became visible that the chicken was indeed not cooked in sauce she then asked me if I wanted sauce on the side. I had already told her no because her circle talk was confusing me. The whole time she gave inappropriate body language and facial expression because she wasn’t communicated properly. She then followed up with the comment, “ I’m trying to explain it you but you just won’t accept it.” Before giving me my order she told me, “every time you come in here you have negative energy and I just don’t want it to happen the next time you come here”. Unbelievable. Taste Budds will never have to worry about my energy again. Sometimes family and business don’t mix.
