I ordered take out a medium Oxtails with gravy, Cabbage, Rice and Peas. The wait wasn’t long, as I was walking out the door into the cold rain. The aroma emanating from the food almost made me turn around and sit at a booth to eat.
Let’s start with The Oxtails and gravy, small but plenty. Tasty but I felt it lacked a spicy flavor. It was more of a southern vibe than a Jamaican vibe. Please trim the fat.
The cabbage,carrot mixture to be honest was bland. The rice and peas were perfectly cooked. I really enjoyed it. I liked I was shown the food prior to putting it in the bag.
My favorite Jamaican restaurant is more than 50 miles away. I’m looking for one closer. Revisiting this restaurant is a possibility, but it will not be a replacement at this time.

Very good! I enjoyed it very much and the customer service was amazing as well! She answered all my questions and gave good recommendations. I really enjoyed the rice and beans and the plantains a lot!!! I think the portions were very generous. I am not a juice drinker but they have a variety of juices if that interest you!

Just picked up an oxtail platter, 2:30 in the afternoon on a Thursday, this is really tasty. Not overly spicy which is how I like it. Nice little kick. Rice and peas perfect texture and taste. Cabbage had a nice taste. Ordered a medium…. will have the rest for dinner. Everyone’s taste buds are different. Reading the reviews I wasn’t going to go but decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did.

So I asked for a curry goat medium platter curry chicken platter and a side of plantain . The man comes and tells me there isn’t enough goat for a medium platter, and is there any other meet he can add to it. So I told him just to add some ox tails, and if it’s a little extra, I’ll pay. Well, I got home, and I got 2 small pieces of goat. In the whole platter. I was charged $8 for the side of the oxtail he put on the side. I spent over $70 for all that n 3 drinks. Sadly, the 2 pieces of goat were very good. However, the oxtail was definitely not worth the $8 up change . The curry chicken wad just ok. He was just better off telling me he couldn’t do the goat platter period. Unfortunately, between what I paid n what I got for it, I will not be back. I wish I had a better experience, like the reviews I read. Good luck in the future

Definitely ((Not the Spot)) I try my best to give people the benefit of the doubt. I saw the reviews, I wanted to do my best to support this business. I ordered my food over the phone, the young lady said 20 minutes. I purposely came 35 minutes exactly because I heard how slow the service was. I got there and had to wait an additional 20 to 25 minutes. My order was never taken, and once I got the order, it looked like something my kid tried to make on TikTok. The mac & cheese was dry and the jerk chicken barely had sauce on it. The music was good in the restaurant minus the commercials. The restaurant did appear clean, but is a bit small if you want to eat in. Not much parking, hopefully some changes will be made.

Decent food. Portions were great. The hostess was friendly. The curry chicken patty was really good. We got a curry goat platter and oxtail platter (pictured).
Cons: Not enough gravy, the juices had an odd soapy taste

I’ve stopped here twice on my way home. Just did a Google search and the you g lady at the register is just so kind. The food is really good. I got the oxtails, can age and beans and rice both times. The oxtails are delicious, cabbage is ok but whoa, best beans and rice I’ve ever had!!!!!! Just amazing. Can’t wait to go back. Oh and a nice, small restaurant to enjoy indoor dining too.

I ordered oxtails and two orders of jerk chicken with sides of red beans and rice. The food was simply bland and not tasty at all. They put no effort into making good, flavorful Jamaican food.
The red beans and rice tasted worse than plain white rice-they didn’t cook the rice in coconut milk at all. I think they cut corners because they believe their customers don’t know what real Jamaican food tastes like. Seventy dollars down the drain for something I could have cooked at home. I was very disappointed and was only able to eat the oxtails out of the entire meal.

The oxtail are so tender and seasoned well. I love he rice and peas. I also have gotten cabbage and they’re beef patty and I can say the are so delicious. Also, one word soursop juice, I know if you have never tried it I may sound weird but ot is so good. It is a 10 and it taste like coconut with cinnamon and nutmeg and chai it is so good

Awesome! After calling for directions I already had a positive vibe from a polite and friendly staff member. Upon arrival I was greeted with a big smile and a warm welcome…a little rare these days! The food was absolutely delicious and authentically Jamaican! To top it all, they were not skimpy with the portions and not more bones than meat which made it good value for money! My whole family enjoyed their dishes! Highly recommended! A+
