I’ve passed this gem of a place many times but nevthought to stop by as I never thought much of it and often just stuck with what I knew (S&G, BreadMe, etc). But boy have I been missing out. Just wanting something different I went off the recommendation of a co-worker and decided to try this little quaint place. Consideriner g I’ve never ventured here before I figured I would go with something basic. I’m not very social so having the option to order online made viewing their menu and ordering seamless and without pressure. I ordered a large plate of fried fish (whiting) with three sides collard greens, cabbage, and Mac and cheese and honestly I could have ordered more as I so wanted to try the plantains, fries, and more but any more than what I already had would have me sleeping through my shift lol. Not even a minute after ordering I received a call tell me that they didn’t have enough fish to complete the size of my order and I could either wait until more was made, order a different item and/or size, or they could add a small entree. I chose the latter, having both fish AND chicken. Which served me fine because I wanted to try the whole smorgasbord of a menu. Upon entering for the first time I was hit with a homey decor that definitely emphasized the “family” aspect. The lady that tended my order was very polite and with me ordering online I was in and out. The seasoned aroma wafted through the air as I drove back to work and man I could not wait. Here’s my breakdown:
Cabbage – tender, kinda smoky, perfect amount of heat but not overbearing, just kisses the palette

Collards – nice bite, slight earthy undertone and seemed to have a hint of a vinegar taste

Mac and cheese – practically perfect but would have preferred a little more chew to the noodles, not a deal breaker just personal preference as these noodles melt in your mouth

Whiting – tasted like home fish fry. Wish I had some bread with it. Perfectly seasoned

fried chicken – never been a fan of full size drums (sue me lol) so these drumettes and flats were right up my alley. Often I’ve come across chicken that sacrifices crispiness for flavor or vice versa but there is no compromise here

This was definitely a true sampler and for only $18, with a soda (12oz can) I might add, oh yeah they have a repeat customer with me and I’m getting the plantains next time for sure lol. Long story short be sure to check out this little home eatery and if you have continue to tell your friends and/or co-workers about it as it won’t disappoint.

Highly recommend the oxtails & collard greens.

This is my new spot for my carribean food fix in the Woodbridge/ Quantico area. Being of T&T roots I need some good trini food from time to time. They have not let me down. Great food and good portions. If you haven’t already tried it out, you’ve been depriving yourself of some good eating. The staff is very friendly. Highly recommend the fish sandwich and also the bake and salt fish.

Delicious food served here at a reasonable price. The wedge fries are seasoned to perfection and the jerk chicken is so good. Friendly service as well. Highly recommend.

I had the large curry goat with some rice and peas, mac and cheese, collard greens, and some of their new salmon nuggets and everything was SO good! Everything was very well seasoned, especially for the main dish. The salmon nuggets are a hit for me. The jerk sauce and the tartar sauce were just icing on the cake. Will definitely be coming back again for more. 10/10

It’s a must to visit while at Quantico; I tried two main dishes and six sides. I have no complaints; delicious, savory, and tasteful.

So far I had great experience with this quaint little place. Owner is super friendly and sweet. I came in at lunch and tried their Fish and Chips, Mac & Cheese and Collards green. They open at 11 am and closes at 6 pm. I suggest placing your order ahead of time instead of waiting if you have limited lunch time. It’s also a great place to pick up dinner since they’re still open by the time you get out of office hours if you work on base. My food was delicious, I enjoyed it very much. Thank you.

Not sure if this place is still open or not. I placed an order on doordash, waited 30 minutes, and my order was never confirmed. I even tried to call to check on the status of the order and the phone number doesn’t work.

My husband and I always stop in when we are in need of some authentic carribbean and/or comfort food! We have tried the oxtail, jerk chicken, beef patties and fried chicken. All tasted so good and you get a very generous portion. I also can’t forget to mention this is a family run business and they really make you feel a part of it when you visit.

The patties are not fresh they are from Costco trust me I don’t have to ask. There is only wings for the chicken meals no thigh no breast. The rice and peas is amateur level at best. This is just not a great representation of Jamaican food.
