The rice tasted like white rice with beans in it. The chicken was purely shredded. Nothing jerk about it no flavor in the chicken or rice very bland waste of money $17. I ate a little because I was starving, but absolutely terrible.

Love the new space downtown Saint Paul and so happy the ?curried goat ? was on that menu! I probably should try something else, but if it ain’t broke…..LOVE the beer wall too. Cheers and thanks for making me so happy!?

Got here at 11 & nobody was behind the counter. All the stuff was put up so I automatically assume they just not here on time. Sad because i was really craving that jamaican food.

We had a great time! Fun atmosphere and good food. I love when owners come around to visit guests. We shared some chicken wings which were spicy but had a great flavor. Unfortunately the beer/seltzer wall was down, but we had some good rum punch and wine.

I went here on a date with my partner, I had been looking forward to it opening for months since I am disabled and it is close enough to walk to without pain flares. I loved the plantains. Since I also like pokemon, I gave staff an opening celebration gift of a Torchic plushie. This is a little chicken design inspired pokemon, and it evolves into a fire/fighting type. I thought it would be "fitting" and a bit of a pun.

Parking: Downtown parking is tricky in general. Take advantage of meters not being enforced on Sunday to see if you can grab a free spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is not an Automatic front door yet, but staff is determined to make this location accessible and there is a wheelchair ramp for the live music stage that will allow for wheelchair operation for disabled performers. Unfortunately, the cost of an automatic door is expensive, but with a disability doorbell maybe, there shouldn't be much issue if you need to get in.

The food is okay. I don't know who hands out awards, and I don't get how these guys won anything.I've tried several times now and each time is met with disappointment.The chicken is dry... and somehow lacking flavor when it's been marinated for 24 hours. Rice is rice, and pretty hard to mess up. The Beef Pastry is never available, and the couple times I've been able to get it, the flavor is good, but you can tell it's been frozen and reheated.

The veggie curry was not ready yet maybe because it still had unmixed curry powder in it and tasted grainy.

First off - if you hate your job, find another one! The younger cashier was extremely rude. You can tell she didn’t want to be there. The food was dry and tasted like it had been sitting out all day. The mild was more like hot. Would never visit again.

(Doordash Order) Haven't received food yet. But when I called about timing discrepancy and to just inform them that their timing on Google is outdated which was causing my confusion, she hung up in my face.Update received the food. I had high hopes. But what was disappointed with everything.The Jamaican Patty was really burnt, the wings weren't as advertised. They were just okay... The rice tasted artificial and hard and I've had better curry overall not impressed.
