Very small family run place. Mostly takeout business but there are a few tables inside plus picnic tables and a patio outside. I like the oxtail which are really beef but you may not like them unless you’ve had before. Better eaten with your hands. There’s are tender and and not very spicy. Jerk chicken was good though fairly mild to me so tell them if you want

Excellent food. They did mess up my delivery order somewhat. They gave me fried plantain when I asked for fried cornbread. And they forgot to give me some sauce for my tacos. HOWEVER…the food that I ordered (chicken tacos and jerk chicken w/ cabbage, rice, and pasta salad) was so good, that I was still a happy camper. I will be a regular here. Even the ginger drink was excellent. Top notch food.

Daaaaaaaamn. This place is great! So unassuming, in the middle of almost nowhere on this street. But that is some of the BEST jerk chicken I have had in the US. And the gravy with the rice is perfection.

Great food. Always like to try something different. The sweet plantains were excellent. The steak tacos were also excellent. Very tender, little bit of onion and cilantro. They came beans and cabbage side. Both were really good. Definitely will be back to try something different.

Got 2 ox tails dinner that took hours to be ready. Call in advance if that’s what you are looking for and have time to wait on it. The side of plantains was not worth 4little pieces of banana. But I’d return for the ox, cabbage, red beans and pasta salad. The carrot cake was not tasty.

The staff greeted me with a smile while the chef waved me in from behind the counter! The food was prompt and fresh and my order came with three complimentary side dishes. The decorations were festive and the unisex facility includes a baby changing station.

I went here for lunch about 2 weeks ago. I wasn’t expecting much just to probably pick at my food. My coworker I went with said the food is very good try the jerk chicken. OMG!!! THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!! “Good” was an understatement! Perfectly seasoned, hot, and fast! I ordered the jerk chicken,rice, and cabbage. It was very tasty. Nice size portion for lunch. The customer service was very pleasant and quick. I ate inside the restaurant. It was quiet and as stated before quick service. The eating area is small and close to the door. I didn’t to much care for that BUT it didn’t take anything away from the delicious food!! I will for sure be back with friends! Thank you
