The place rocks with friendly smiles & sumptuous Jamaican quinine. Nadine wins you over and hasn’t forgetten you as a repeat customer. We’re fortunate to have her and her staff, an institution in Harrisburg’s vibrant cultural community.

This the BESTTTTTT JAMAICAN food I have EVER had! The portions are a nice size, the customer service is great and the place is clean! I was in town visiting my cousin and I WILL be back on my next visit and I'm going to bring some back home! FANTASTIC!!!

You don’t get what you pay for. The other lady made sure that you got a good amount of food (ox tails) and they made their profit. The light skin girl that is working there now at Broad Street Market gives you five ox tails in the $30 platter. I even brought it to her attention and again for $30. I got a platter full of rice, cabbage, and only five oxtails. For **$30** you get a platter with only **five oxtails** in it. She is intentionally trying to give as little food as possible while charging a high $30 for the platter with only 5 ox tails in it. You can’t even share the $30 platter with another person, what’s that 2 1/2 oxtails apiece. I left there feeling cheated, I will never go back!

A nice taste of home/the Caribbean in Harrisburg. I only get the oxtail dinner and Porter's House does not disappoint.

I came in to do a doordash pickup. The owner started chatting with me and we were both having a down day. But she made my day by her kindness and generosity. Since I wasn't getting the best tips or even tips at all she gave me a free meal with all of the trimmings. All I can say it was amazing food. I had the browned stew with white rice,cabbage, and baked Mac and cheese. The food was amazing some of the best food I've had in a while. I would completely recall her establishment if you haven't. Just want to say thank you again for her kindness towards me today.

love the j*** pork! Huge portions and very good.

The baked Mac and cheese is greasy with clumps of burnt cheese and very dry. The fish had no seasoning, and came the way the pic is. The other food had no seasoning what so ever. I will NEVER spend another dime there. I’m so mad that I spent almost $40 to not eat anything.

I attended an event that was catered by Porter's house and that food was DELICIOUS!! I had Stew Chicken, Rice & Beans, & Cabbage. It was so good I was stuffed from multiple servings. Will definitely be ordering more!

A few years ago this was the best Jamaican food I had. Damn, it has fell off like crack dealers in the eightes. My friend and I both threw the platter in the trash after a few bites. I felt bad because I raved to my friends about this place. The older woman that owns the place isn't there anymore but this other woman behind the counter had an attitude nastier than the food. She was extremely rude to us. I've also observed her be rude to others. The plantain was hard and dry. The patties were too rigid to bite into. The rice and peas was hard and stuck together. Had a strange taste to it. To avoid getting sick, we threw it in the trash. Never going back. This place used to have a long line....I just realized there hasn't been one in awhile. Now I know

Food & sorrel were delicious! The woman behind the counter was nice & friendly. I had the j*** chicken, oxtails & cabbage. I liked that the service was quick as the Market is a busy place. Just say yes when asked if you'd like the j*** sauce. It's flavorful not spicy hot.
