I was very hungry and smelled the chicken on the grill so I decided to Stop in to grab some lunch. It was $18 for the jerk chicken which was tasteless. It was supposed to have BBQ Jerk sauce on it and did not. The peas and rice was under cooked and not Shelly; it was also supposed to have oxtail gravy on it which was very little and the rice was dry. The Mac & cheese was the only thing that I felt was decent on the plate. With that being said I was very disappointed with the meal.

I randomly stopped in today, after having a taste for some red snapper. First time here and hands down the best red snapper I’ve ever had. My whole platter was amazing, the cabbage, Mac and cheese, and the rice and peas. They even put some oxtail gravy on my rice. You will need a nap after a dish like the one I had today.

Never get what you ask for. Told the server I want gravy on my food,got home there was none thought it was a mistake. Order food the second day requested gravy again. Only to get home no gravy... Mam when people spending there money they want what they want. Wasted my money cause I don't eat dry food.

I was given what they wanted to give me, not what I wanted. The beans were dry under the ox tail gravy. The curry chicken was so so and he gave me cabbage. I didnt ask for cabbage, I asked for mac and cheese. Even if it was extra, I would've paid for it. My first and last

Another Google Maps gem. The friendly owner greeted us outside where he was getting the grill started. They grill the seafood items to order and the oxtail, chicken, and goat items are ready if you are in a hurry. It's take-out only.We ordered one large jerk chicken with rice and peas for $14 including tax which was enough for the two of us. The owner asked us what kind of gravy to put on it and suggested the oxtail one. It was a little spicy but the whole meal was delicious.They accept credit cards. Please support this new restaurant.
