“Hidden Gem with Amazing Flavors and Generous Portions

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Though it might be easy to overlook because of the location, it’s absolutely worth finding parking for, even if you’re coming from a bit further away. The portion sizes are huge for the price—this delicious meal was only $15, and the flavor is out of this world. The meat was so tender, it literally fell apart, and every bite just kept getting better. You can taste the love and care in every dish. It’s one of those spots that may not be packed yet, but once people discover it, I’m sure it’ll be the next go-to. Do yourself a favor and check it out!“

“I love this diner! I have been returning here for some time now and have yet to be disappointed. The food is amazing and the people are welcoming and attentive. The cherry on top is how affordable it is! It’s so hard to find good food that also doesn’t break bank but somehow this place does a good job at keeping it fresh and affordable.“

“This restaurant got hostess that are looking for mens. They offer themselves to clients given phone numbers. Unprofessional and their food is salty and with roaches.“

“Food always fresh and delicious & very reasonably priced - Been my secret treasure 10+ years - the owner's work as hard as employees & greet everyone as family.
Best suited to go or for a small group to eat in for lunch.“

“Had some paperwork to do in downtown and walking by the smells just got me I had to try a sandwich especially since I was in the company of my daughter. We ordered the Roma panini… it was so delicious perfect melt cheese and such a good pesto base , the chicken was so tender. Service was so friendly and inviting, the cashier made sure my coffee was just the way we wanted . Definitely the highlight of our day .“

“Food is amazing you want good Dominican food this is the place.“

“I have been going to Minis restaurant for over 15 years and not once had I had a bad experience there. The food is incredible the service is on point and even when they are packed(which is very often) the ladies always keep up with me and thank me for my patience. The price for the quality of food is the best I have ever seen. I have ordered food at minis well over One Thousand times and the food always hits home. Even though I have moved farther away I still make the 35 minute drive to minis multiple times a week just because no other restaurants has the quality of food that they have. If I could give them 1000 stars I would. I love their food. I love the staff they are so friendly and loving. I highly recommend you go pay them a visit and trust me you won’t regret it!!“

“I’ve had Jamaican food before, but NOTHING is as delicious as their food! Curry chicken fell off the bone, perfect amount of curry. My husband was very pleased with the food too! This place is amazing!“

(What I had ordered is the picture below I couldnt get my kid’s ones because they ate it all up as soon as it got here haha)“

“At first when I saw some of the reviews saying that the staff were rude I was hesitant to go but I was there yesterday night with my husband and I had such a great experience we had the crispy chicken family meal with one side and the biscuits and we also had mint lemonade it was very delicious and fresh, They also gave us extra free biscuits and free fries overall the food was really good , the staff were very very friendly and the place was really clean, I definitely recommend this place :)“

“Better than kfc better than Popeyes. Chicken is top tier when fresh. Overall food is good. They’ve been good to community for decades. Staff and crew works hard and they try their best. S/O to the staff who’s been there for the past 6 years 2020 - now cashiers, cooks, expos even those who don’t work there anymore hope you guys are doing well in life. Im gonna be moving out of state and ima definitely miss the food here. Chicken Supreme is legendary. Keep holding it down I’ll be back!“
