I will say my first visit was decent with Kia and her service skills are absolutely fun while being helpful. I did not get the round ball that I ordered but I came out with a lot of food and drinks. However the LARGE Oxtails was very lacking on amount vs the price point and plantain is a separate purchase instead of a few pieces on the meal. The Akee and Saltfish had 2 or 3 dumpling underneath so very little ackee and Saltfish for that price. The Jerk Mac and cheese was on the almost stale side. I wasn't fond of their brand of Sorrel as it had a weird after taste. Didn't like either the fruit nor the other rum cake but those are not their fault as they are prepackaged options. The gentleman there was helpful in packing my huge order but sadly I won't be returning. Money spent there vs value was very lacking.

Parking: Decent amount of parking shared with other businesses in the strip shopping center

If you're familiar with authentic Caribbean cuisine you'll understand that this is not acceptable. The beef and chicken patties I ordered were soggy, lacking the expected flaky texture, and seemed a bit old. I also tried the curry goat and roti, which unfortunately fell short of expectations. I wouldn't recommend this place, especially if you're looking for genuine Caribbean dishes. I am Jamaican and this was a bit disappointing. I understand everyone makes dishes differently, but this is not a place I would recommend.

Parking: On both dishes that I bought there should have been more sauce.

I think only one person works there, and that person takes orders and cooks, it takes 30 to 40 minutes for them to give you an order, a dirty place

The food they have sitting out on the line is not the food that they will serve you. The food on the line looked putrid, there was a container of random foods that looked like they were fermenting. Half of my jerk chicken seemed fresh and the other half seemed like it was made three days ago and was rocksolid. The rice was old. The place had roaches in it. The lady was nice but the food was just not it.

Highly disappointed!!! 30 min wait for curry shrimp, rice and peas w/ cabbage. HORRIBLE!! 10 medium shrimp contained no sauce just a spicy seasoning , rice and peas mushy but had no curry sauce and there were more carrot slices than cabbage. No flavor at all. Waste of time and money.

I should have believed the stars and went somewhere else.. The food was old. No meat on any bones. Plantain turning grayish. Cabbage was the only fresh item on that plate. We called to let them know and was notified the chef would be in later. Come back in 2 hour and bring the food back. I was on my lunch break and 25 min away. Not feasible. Anywho, total waste of time and money.I tried to get a refund and they want to offer another plate. Why would I do that if you can give me an old plate of food during lunch hours? Do yourself a favor and frequent Jerk Pit or somewhere else.

The jerk chicken was moist and delicious.

Authentic Breakfast. But Everything else is mild for local munch. Jerk was super mild.

There are many Caribbean spots in the area and I recommend trying one of the others; perhaps Caribbean Palace down the road or Jerk Pit. The restaurant offers Good Customer service. Small spot, not too busy, not too long of a wait. Pricy. Small portions… I was not mad at the portion size b/c the food was not tasty at all. Would never try again.
