Customers praise the freshly cooked fried chicken and the overall quality of the food, with the oxtails described as falling off the bone, always fresh and delicious. The establishment is known for its friendly and fast customer service, creating a welcoming atmosphere. It is a go-to spot for Jamaican cuisine in the Hudson Valley region, known for its fresh cocoa bread and patties that never disappoint.
The restaurant is especially popular for dishes like jerk pork, which has been described as pleasantly spicy and delicious. Portions may be smaller compared to other local restaurants, but they are still enough to satisfy. The restaurant is generally kid-friendly, catering to families with dishes like fried or stew chicken. Parking is available on the street, with a paid meter system.
