I don't review places at all but I took my co workers here for lunch to reward their hard work and I must say, I recommend this place. They were polite, fast and easy going and the food was amazing. The curry chicken is delicious and so is the jerk chicken.

Food is good, except the really hot meat. For $74, I want my order right. The lady repeated the order TWICE, but gave us the wrong dinner on 1 of the orders? I guess we'll have to check our food every time.

I’ve had Caribbean food and this food was not made in authentic Caribbean style, extremely bland and dry , my stewed chicken was basically baked chicken in a heavy sauce or gravy,my chicken wasn’t even brown, red beans and rice was dry, and the sauce or gravy my chicken was in is same that was in my wife’s oxtails were , that’s a whole different story though, service was good however.

I was highly impressed with the taste of this food. The service was good. I spent about 15 minutes waiting for my food to take out and it was worth every minute. They have a nice variety of meals to choose from. They also offer desert. Parking is a little rough as it's street parking.

I'm visiting from New York and it's my 1st time being in Pittsburgh. I was craving Caribbean food and decided to visit this establishment based on the reviews. I have to admit I was slightly disappointed I really wanted oxtails and Ms Sally who was professional not necessarily friendly informed me that they didn't have any oxtails. I then asked about the curry goat, she proceeded to tell me that there was no curry goat she then pulled out her cell phone and started looking down at it. I was baffled on why but anyway so I asked about the stew chicken, peas/rice and salad which they had, I really didn't want it but I decided to try it. Overall the food was good but I never been to a Jamaican restaurant where they didn't have oxtails or curry goat available. It would of been considerate of them to put up a sign stating that.

Decided on Jamaican after learning the Indian Buffet was closed on a Sunday. I'm from out of town, visiting friends and we kinda go through "what to try now?" Cuisine wheel.Fireside came up in google search and we were off.We got there pretty early than their typical lunch crowd, for Sundays, and missed out on the Oxtail and Pepper Steak... Greatest happy accident ever!Friend got Curried Goat and I the Jerk Chicken. The Jerk Chicken IS LIFE CHANGING. Best I've had in my life thus far.Wondering why I didn't see more Asian customers because it meets the Savory and Spicy bar head on... Haven't the food sweat/glow and I wasn't even anticipating it because I hadn't asked for hot sauce yet.Recommend the 2 aforementioned dishes... AND the plantains & Coconut Cake! Will be back to try many dishes and also some of the meat & veggie patties!The staff here are very warm, felt welcomed, and I'd love to visit again and bring more friends ?
