Stopped by after trick-or-treating. The woman taking orders in the front was welcoming, patient and open to answering questions. The place was clean and bright.
I ordered two orders of jerk wings, salmon, rice & peas, vegetables, mac and cheese. Overall, all the meats could have been cooked a bit longer. Everything was just barely done. I understand the wings are smoked….smoke them longer. Salmon…broil it longer. Again, nothing was raw, but everything was barely done. Same with the vegetables. The jerk sauce is a jerk bbq vs. traditional jerk. I would have preferred a real jerk sauce. Please season the food more and in a traditional way. No need to appease the neighborhood at all. Cook the food as if you’re cooking for your family at home. The mac & cheese had a cheese sauce rather than real cheese with no seasoning or even salt & pepper. I also understand this isn’t a traditional Jamaican dish.
I tasted the Rasta pasta and it was good. If I’m ever in the business of blowing calories, I would definitely order it.

Alright cousins, Doc back outside, true to this, never new to this, and today Bobby D’s in Towson got the spotlight.” 🕶️🍛
Small, niche Caribbean spot, the kind where the flavor’s supposed to hit before the music does. Service was friendly and quick enough, no side-eyes needed. Started off strong with the jumbo shrimp and fries, fried hard, crispy, and fresh enough to earn a slow nod of respect. Added some plantains and cocoa bread, and yeah, those hit like home, warm, soft, and exactly what you want with a cold drink in hand.
Now the main plate… oxtail, rice & beans, and mac & cheese. The oxtail? Tender, but the flavor didn’t clock in for the full shift. Rice & beans leaned more African-style, a little dry but edible. Mac & cheese held its own, not bad, just not that “let me text somebody about this” good.
Overall? Solid 6.5 to 7 outta 10. It’s giving “neighborhood staple with potential,” not “tell-mama-to-get-her-purse.” The apps and sides carried, but the mains stayed humble. Still, I might spin back for that carrot cake because self-control left the chat. 🥕😎
So if you’re in Towson, pull up and try it yourself, maybe your taste buds catch what mine missed. Either way, tell ’em Doc sent you. Lastly very reasonably priced.

It's got more of a café feel. It's small, quaint... and clean. The food was pretty good. I'm a lightweight so it was a bit spicy for me. The rasta pasta was a bit too rich for me. It was spicy and sweet. The shrimp and grits were delicious (and a lot milder). They could have used at least one more employee on a Saturday. The one waitress/cashier was not enough. Would I go there again? Absolutely.

Fantastic little gem we found just browsing for a place to take our daughter out for dinner. Started with coconut shrimp that was super creamy and delicious!! Wife had the chicken curry and said it was incredible. Daughter ordered grilled chicken sandwich on coco-bread… looked amazing!! I had the jerk chicken… yeah, that’s the money order there. Tangy with a bit of heat… went very well with the red beans and rice as well as the veggie combo. Well worth a stop!!

The outdoor setting area was super cute. The wings were very good along with the rice and peas with oxtail. The absolute star of the show were the juices. Mango with Pineapple Ginger was out of this world.

We stumbled on this spot and I’m so glad we did. We split the coconut salmon and it was the best salmon I have ever eaten in my entire life. We had rice and peas and mashed potatoes and this meal was so good. I also like my food hot in temperature and it was perfect.
The fruit punch is a bit sweet for my liking but it’s so much like my childhood that I can’t be mad at it. The coco bread felt expensive but it was like eating the most delicious pillow so also could not be upset.
It’s so good. It’s worth the try. The people are also very nice.
I called the restaurant today because I wanted to talk to the owner to talk about a recent visit to the restaurant, since I had a great time. The person that took my call was very unprofessional and rude. He asked me in a very condescendant way how come I wanted to talk to the owner of a corporation. I had no idea it was a corporation. He then proceed to harass me and call me 4 times to my number asking me to speak with the owner. I don't think you should have that kind of people working there. He ruined my whole experience with your restaurant,
