Where are the Jamaicans that can cook?? Jerk chicken taste like they threw the jerk on the wings and put in the oven no love! Jerk huts!! Nothing is smoked or grilled!! That’s a 5 star you can make this at home! Upset! SMH wasted my lunch!

I am very disappointed in the food. I went there about five years ago maybe four years ago. The food was too salty. It just didn’t taste like Jamaican at all so I stopped going a coworker of mine convinced me to try out again I told her I did not want to, but I tried. There’s no Jamaican flavor in this food at all. The food is bland not trying to be smart or disrespectful I mean it just is will never go back there again just wasted $50 on two platters and this is August 8, 2025 at 4:45 PM just my personal opinion.

It’s a bald head man with glasses…VERY RUDE! I asked about the price he told me to calm down…I wasn’t rude to him just simply asked him a question…I just left! I can spend money else where.

Food is really great. I usually order the Curry Goat with rice and beans or their delicious Oxtail dish.

The food looked so great in pictures but was very disappointed. My meat was very fatty and not tender also many of the rice grains were hard. I really hate that I have to give this review

What has this place come to??? They used to be so good and CONSISTANT. Something has gradually changed to where the food was inedible tonight. I ordered 2 large curry goat plates, one with extra goat and 2 sides of Mac n chz. The Mac was soooo salty that I threw it away immediately bc it is a health hazard. The rice and peas were tragicaly unseasoned and absolutely bland. The goat had no gravy and was quite dry. I am throughly disappointed with my order and sadly won't be ordering from here again after being a frequent customer, in person and thru delivery apps, for 2 years.✌🏾
