“Great experience at this restaurant! The service was excellent — everyone was very welcoming, professional, and polite. As a first-time customer in the Cincinnati area, I was greeted warmly and treated with great hospitality.
The food came out hot, the seasoning and spice were on point, and the drinks were amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.
I would definitely recommend this place to everyone, especially my fellow Caribbean truckers. If you're in the Cincinnati area and having a hard time finding good Caribbean food while you're on the road, this is definitely a place you should check out!“

“I remember trying this place when I first moved to Cincinnati because it’s conveniently right around the corner and wanted to try it based on all the good reviews, I remember disliking half of my meal but liking the other half , I remember the macaroni and cheese being pretty good and the cornbread being the best I’ve ever had fast forward to today and still kind of mixed reviews because once again I liked some parts and disliked other parts , the macaroni this time wasn’t that great it was very oily ? Potato salad was good and the hot dog was good , the Jamaican beef patty was tough asf , cornbread was decent , I’ll probably try again as I always give places a three strikes and your out type of thing not gonna say it’s great but it’s good I think I just need to keep trying different things from them til I get a niche for something I like“
