They're hominy corn porridge is the best I've had in all of bronx, it keeps me heading back for more🤤

The food here is solid; definitely better than the nearby competition BUT that’s where the praise ends. The service is CONSISTENTLY slow, whether in person or via delivery. It feels like the owners were more focused on trying to shut down a competing restaurant than on building a customer friendly experience OF THEIR OWN. Ironically, while not good on food, the other place offers a more welcoming atmosphere and service.
Despite having plenty of space, there’s nowhere to sit. The layout and planning seem rushed and not well thought out. It’s disappointing when BUSINESSES FORGET that customers always have the option to spend their money elsewhere.
If more people spoke up and expected better, especially when CHOOSING where to spend their money, maybe we’d all get better service. Because if we all took our business elsewhere, there would be no business left for them to run. I’m tired of places taking on more than they can clearly manage, and then expecting customers to accept it. We don’t have to.

I dont understand why its so hard to get decent Jamaican porridge these days. This lumpy over sweetened mess cost me like $8. I got the large because the line was so long that i assumed the food must be on the hook. No jamaican pride. I dont want lumpy grits, farina, or porridge. How can you serve this crap with a straight face. I seen a sign on the glass by register that said they wouldn't give refunds and i should have taken that as a sign to keep my money. No one would want a refund on your food if its good. Have you guys never heard of a strainer?? Now i have no breakfast before work and no time to get anything else. Waste of time and money.

Order a trio, combination of oxtail, curry goat and fried chicken. The fried chicken was very old, they gave me 3 dried up pieces of oxtail and 4 pieces of day old curry goat. With taxes the price was $33.00. I over paid for some nasty food. Shame on you guys, throw the old food away and make fresh food
