Tried this place yesterday and was beyond disappointed. I love hole-in-the-wall restaurants, so I wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, there weren't many redeeming qualities.
First, the service was horrendous. It was 6:30 on a Friday night, 2.5 hours before close. My wife actually insisted on ordering the food to go because of how off the vibe was. It honestly felt like they were disappointed customers walked in. Considering they had no white rice prepared, I assume they had prepared to leave early due to the lack of customers.
Anyhow, we waited at the counter for about 5 minutes before anyone showed up. Prior to that, two employees walked by without acknowledging we were there.
For 6:30 on a Friday, the restaurant could not have been more dead. Out of 8 tables available, (the rest had lights off) only one other couple was there. Now, I'm not surprised by the lack of business.
As for the food, I had oxtail, rice and potatoes. No part of it was good.
All in all, I wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, I cannot think of a reason to come back.

10/10 Knoxville location! A true hidden gem! If you want some good soul filled Jamaican food this is the spot. DO NOT PASS THIS UP!

Ate there a few days ago. Had the oxtail and jerk chick with a curry goat to go. Fell in love with the rasta pasta. wish it was spicier but I understand why they make everything on the mild side because of the location. Would really like to figure out the recipe for the fling tea as well.

Amazing food and felt like my pick up order was given attention and double checked
First time here, what a gem! Brown stew chicken and curry goat were fantastic. The rasta pasta was on point.
