Jerk wing sauce was good ,but wings were dry to me, but whiting fish was really good !!I love the way it was fried and the flavor . The plaintains paired well with the fish ...onion and carrots were a little to vinegary tho , greens were okay and jerk pasta had a good spice flavor.

Staff is very friendly and the food was great. I had the jerk chicken wrap with fries and could eat that meal 8 days a week.

Omg food is amazing. I did not like this fact that I received sweet bread instead of cornbread one time I went. The sweet bread isn’t even sweet. And the strawberry lemonade is terrible I was hoping it was freshly made and that is not the case. It taste like dollar tree lemonade. But again the food is good! Better than I had in Jamaica I swear.

This lovely little gem is exactly the kind of restaurant I wish we could see more of, in a city ran by over priced chain restaurants. This place is takeout only but is completely fine because service time was more than reasonable. The food was delicious, full of heart and soul, and the portion sizes are generous. To add a cherry on top, the pricing is less than what me and my wife would spend at skyline. I look forward to coming back ASAP.

As a doordasher, my friend went to go pick up the order. He asked a person, who was the worker, coming out from the building if this was the right place. The guy ignored him so my friend walks into the building to figure it out on his own. The worker later came back into the building and pulled my friend by his jacket and took him back outside. He proceeds to say I was talking to you when indeed he was not. My friend told him he’s here to pick up a DoorDash order and the guy began to yell at him asking for what he ordered. My friend told him the name of the order and he would not listen and continued yelling. This place has no respect for people who help them with business. No one should be dragged by their jacket for no reason. It is a shame on this business for treating people the way they do. THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!

Despite waiting in the cold for an extra 30 minutes with a pickup order arranged time, the food was good and hot.

I really enjoyed the food, while there is no inside dining yet that shouldn't affect their food taste. Loved the jerk chicken, it's really good, and it melts of the chicken bones. The sauce that comes with the rice is also good. The beef patty wasn't my favorite, but it's still good. I would recommend ?

Can't go inside, you need to order at window. But the food is amazing! I got the jerk chicken sandwich. The jerk sauce was amazing, and the chicken literally fell apart while i was eating the sandwich it was so tender and juicy! Plus, the juices are on point!
