So I am normally a chicken fingers and fries kind of girl. I don’t often venture out and try new things, and I’ve never been happier that I did! I had the Jerk Chicken, a chicken empanda and mac and cheese. All of it was fantastic! The cabbage was the best I have ever had! The staff was fantastic and offered to deliver across the street to our office! Just can’t rave enough about this place and we definitely will be ordering again!

Forget about fancy restaurants where you have to wait a long time for your food to arrive, and then it costs you and arm and leg. This place here is nothing like that. You get your food quick, price is affordable and the taste is amazing! I highly recommended.

A hungry Tuesday evening, and I found the most interesting little Caribbean restaurant tucked away in this brick fronted plaza. I was SO glad to stop in! I ordered a platter of jerk chicken, which came over spiced rice and beans along with a potato salad and a cabbage side. I also ordered some empanadas. Let me tell you, the food was out of this world – jerk chicken with a sweetly spicy kick, delicious empanadas with a tender tear, and even the sides were to die for. With a varied menu, this place will certainly make it’s way into your weekly rotation! Tldr; great bold flavors, unapologetically authentic cuisine, and a very friendly staff!

My family brought me curry goat and it wasn’t even goat, it was chicken and it was dry. No curry just chicken. And it was still pink. It wasn’t fully cooked. Why open a business if you’re gonna lie to customers about the food your serving

My husband, who is an Executive Chef, wanted some Jamaican food. We googled this place and went for lunch. I got oxtails, mac n cheese and greens. He got jerk chicken, yams and greens. We ended up sharing; almost couldn’t make it home because of the wonderful smells emanating from the back seat! Everything was delicious and I will pass the word on about this hidden gem. The service was the only down side, as he wasn’t quite ready when we arrived for lunch at 12:30 pm. Otherwise, food was seasoned to perfection and staff was quite friendly. We will definitely be back.

First, wanted to say that the staff here was nothing short of amazing. They are so sweet and you can tell that they truly care about their customers. Secondly, the food here was OUTSTANDING. Jerk chicken was the perfect amount of spicy, their mac n cheese is phenomenal, the yams are out of this world and the corn bread is delicious. The food and atmosphere of the restaurant is nothing but homey and fantastic. Thanks so much guys!

Yall, don’t even do it. Just go to McDonald’s. I just ordered from here and I am so mad. I ordered a large oxtail and they gave me 5 small pieces. The rice was good but that’s it. The cabbage taste like nothing, and the greens taste like vinegar. The Mac and cheese taste like something you would pick out from the frozen section at ShopRite. When we called back to tell the owner about the food he said I do my best if you don’t like it go somewhere else…
