Great customer service. Nothing against the owners or the establishment, but the food is terrible. We got oxtails and curry goat. There was more salt than flavor like the food was so salty. Rice and peas are good. But cabbage had mixed vegetables in it and was boiled, so bland and no texture just mush. Maybe I caught this restaurant on a bad day, this was our first time there, but we won’t be going back.

Don't do like I did and ignore the previous reviews. This place is AWFUL. I ordered jerk wings and they were so heavily sauced it was ridiculous. They were also breaded and then sauced which is not what I expected at all. The cabbage was ok aside from having peas and carrots in it which I've also never experienced at a Jamaican restaurant. The rice and peas also left much to be desired. Overall this place is trash and far from authentic.

Order peas and rice it was very few peas I called the restaurant and spoke with the owner and all he could say is okay I have frequent the restaurant never again
Ordered stewed chicken, it was dry with no gravy, It was like jerk with no flavor. I love island ( Jamaican) food but this is not the place. I will never go back. I would rather drive across town to wings and tings.

Don’t waste your time or your money
I’ve been there about six times trying to give them a chance
Only one time maybe two
I was satisfied
The meat is tough and dry
One time I even went there, and the rice smelled spoiled
I don’t know what’s going on in the kitchen, but they really need to do something different. It’s ridiculous. And that food cost $30 every time and they will give me some bull crap
And I told her young lady at the front a lot of time this Meat, what is a very, very tough She offered to take it back.😂😂 no that’s OK I’ll take my chances
I almost did not come to this restaurant because of the reviews. But decided to they it for myself. I got the Curry Chicken , Rice Pease and Cabbage. Everything was flavorful and tasty. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. Rice and lease cooked to perfection and Cabbage was so flavorful. This restaurant did not disappoint - I will for sure be back. I had a great experience with customer service too. They may have had some tweaking to do according to previous reviews. But they got it together now. I loved my food and took a 2nd plate home. I recommend 100%
Vegetarian options: Vegetarians can eat here. Get a plate with not meat.
Parking: Spacious parking lot.

I spent 65 dollars with place only to get some cold mediocre food, the chicken was hot & SALTY. THE oxtails were tough and dry. The oxtail juice was watery. I do NOT recommend pay for this food.

At my job no one has had jerk chicken so I surprise them yesterday for lunch. The food was on point. Go seasoning and a good amount as well. I will definitely be back. The festival fresh and had me feeling like I was at Hellshire beach in Jamaica. Thank you so much. My favorite Jamaican spot so far. Perfect!

If I could give it a half of a star I would. Terrible Terrible Terrible food. The goat had a burnt taste to it. I wouldn't recommend my enemy to eat this food. I would rather eat cereal with a fork than to eat here again. I am feeling sick to my stomach eating this horrible food. This place need to be reported for an inspection. My team will definitely handle this accordingly.

I’m so disappointed I LOVE LOVE Jamaican food, so I was excited to know that it was a place right down the road from my job , but $21 yea it’s not much but for the food I received definitely wasn’t worth it , the chicken you could tell possibly came from the very bottom of the pot it was crunchy and dry . The cabbage had absolutely no tase it also could have been cooked a little longer, the macaroni was literally just for looks because of the parsley on it, the cheese was barely spread evenly over the noodles it had not a lick of taste either . And the rice and peas was mushy as if it had been sitting way too long in water and just sat after, all in all I feel like I wasted my money and time it was not worth it . The portion size was great though so I guess that’s the good

This place is like the 1st & 15th, they never miss! If you love ox tails this is for you. The food is well seasoned, hot, and the portions are big. When I’m in Dallas I’m looking for them in the day time with a flashlight.
