If you’re hungry and looking for high quality caribbean style BBQ made with love, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND GO HERE. First things first, this family is kind, personable and their service is amazing. That’s the number one thing. My lady and I ordered the meals with beans & rice. We had Jerk Chicken & Brisket. We also ordered the Caribbean Greens and Sweet Slaw. Let me tell you, the flavors in this food had me from the first bite. The rice & beans are cooked perfectly and the meat is fall apart tender & smoked to perfection. The sides are not just thrown together with the meal no… the slaw was sweet and tangy and the greens were full of flavor. This place deserves WAY more traffic. Go now!

Voice mail, sign on the door and google all state 7pm closing. Showed up at 6:40 to place a to go order and the place was already locked up and no answer on the phone.
Hands down some of the best greens and jerk chicken ever!! Trust me when I say if it’s your first time trying it you will develop cravings for it. The servings are heaping (I ate my leftovers for 2 days) and woke up randomly craving it. Needless to say we’re heading there for dinner tonight. A great place to try some amazing food and support what appears to be an awesome local family!
Vegetarian options: The menu had a vegetarian section with lots of options that sound delicious.

Me and my gf stopped by for lunch. It was our first time trying them. We didn't expect to get so much food. We both order the jerk chicken with red beans and rice. We shared one when we got home, and still had some left over. The only thing we didn't know was to order kerk sauce with it. It was delicious but would have been even better with some sauce. I will go back to try the oxtails next time.

First time here, I ordered the jerk chicken and it was fantastic. The heat level was perfect for me, if you don't like 🔥 probably not for you. The portion was generous. When I first opened the box I thought it might be dry but when I put my fork in it and it fell apart I knew it was tender and anything but dry. Very good food and better service. The owner (I'm assuming) was super nice very welcoming and very gracious. Will be back.

Great food! We had the jerk chicken and it was so good!
Waaay overpriced especially for what you get. Ordered the oxtail and all it came with was rice and 3 pieces of oxtail. For $24 i would expect more like some plantains and cabbage. I pay less in nyc and get alot more food. The food was waaay to salty and the flavor was lacking. Overall the food was trash but the workers were friendly. Wouldn’t recommend.

I stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant and I am very glad I did. My first visit I tried their oxtails. They were tender and seasoned to perfection. My second visit I took family with me and we tried a little of everything. We had oxtails with beans and rice, jerk chicken with macaroni and cheese, jerk brisket, greens cornbread and finally the BBQ ribs. We were in heaven. Everything was great. The music was pleasing as well. My daughter got the curry chicken and goat to go. It is owned by a husband and wife team as well as their son. Call and order ahead if you want the oxtails. It's their best seller and goes fast. Run people don't walk to this little hidden treasure. Great people with great food.

Here when you should be open and it's closed. I'm annoyed.
This is a diamond. Absolutely awesome. This is one of the best jerk style chicken and brisket I have tasted. Jamaica in Michigan. The smokey jerk taste of the brisket is next level. The chicken is always moist and full of flavor. This is my 5th time coming and the consistency is on point. Friendly owner/ grill smoke master.

Sweet baby Jesus this place knows how to make that kinda food that you then judge every other restaurant to them because yes it is that good!!!!! BBUUTTTT for me and a coworker to eat it was $67 and but we did order some of the more expensive dishes.
Vegetarian options: They do have vegetarian options on some of their dishes.
Parking: Its in a strip mall so it's not hard to find a spot right up front
Kid-friendliness: I would absolutely take my kids there, definitely no play place but it's definitely no biker bar.
Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of ramps and it's a single story building
