$7 dollars for barely any plaintains. This establishment was pretty much empty when I arrived and they were making a new batch of plaintains, so I thought I would get a reasonable amount for $7 dollars. Wrong. They were very overpriced and thin plaintains.

Fish fritters were ready not good. Ginger health drink was delicious.

I was really looking forward to this ackee and saltfish dish, but unfortunately, it was a big letdown — especially for the $30 price tag. There was barely any saltfish in the meal — I literally showed the plate to the chef, and she could count the pieces on her fingers! I didn’t order imagination fish or a filet; I expected a fair serving of the actual dish.
When I brought it up, I was told “that’s just how it is,” which felt dismissive. On top of that, I asked for dumplings but was given rice instead because they were out — no heads-up or substitution options. The cabbage and plantains were okay, but overall, the meal lacked balance and definitely didn’t feel worth the price.
I wanted to support this business, but the portion and customer service just didn’t match the value.

I live the little events for holidays they do. Today they had a little buffet style brunch for Father’s Day and it was delightful and delicious. I got to speak to Simone one of the owners and she’s very loving, felt like we were a part of the family. Definitely can’t wait to make this place a regular spot for me and my family ;)

I went in and was treated like a king. The servers, staff and the owner are really nice and kind. The food was really awesome. Nice jerk chicken. Even bought some of their fried chicken and it was great as well. Highly recommend for food or just a chill spot to have some drinks and watch the game!!!

I am so disappointed...I paid 68.00...The food flavor wasn't not bad..however...my jerk chicken peices were so small...I could recognize what part of the chicken...they didn't have the fish patty nor the chicken patty...

Irie pasta with chicken but there was very small amount of chicken and some pieces of bone
I had the callaloo platter. It came with callaloo which is a green veggie. Similar to collard greens. It came with rice and peas. It came with the sweet plantains. It came with cooked cabbage. We also added on a cassava patty which is called bammy (bah-ME). In addition, we ordered “Jamaican pockets” which are pastry shells filled with something. We selected the spinach and vegan beef and the spinach was everyone’s favorite. It was mild enough for my daughter to enjoy. The mango passion and pineapple ginger juice were also very nice. #Veganuary

Gem in downtown Laurel in a small community. Great food and service. Great place to have a party. The back area is surprisingly big with plenty parking in the back. Love it!
