This brother here has some good authentic Jamaican food. Everything was awesome. He even took my request to try his brown stew chicken in consideration. By the way the brown stew chicken did not disappoint it was delicious. Thank you so much looking forward to seeing you again. Me and husband enjoyed everything.

The food was okay… The only thing I didn’t like was the fact I was lied to.
I asked for the curry chicken, rice and beans and cabbage. Familiar with Jamaican food, I asked if the curry chicken had potatoes in it which they told me yes.
An hour later, I didn’t see any potatos. On top of that, seems like I was given 2/3 cup of rice with a small serving of cabbage.
If they had to lie about what’s is being served, then honestly they were desperate to make money (mind you- there was a bunch of people who was ordering from them).
I should’ve looked in the bowl- otherwise, I would’ve asked for a refund.

I tried this food truck at the fair and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. They only offered large jerk chicken trays for $21, with extra sides advertised at $5. I asked for jerk chicken with a side of mac & cheese — but was charged $6 for the side, not the posted price.
The wait time was average, but once I opened the food, the mac & cheese was completely dried out — like it had been sitting in the pan all day. The “large” jerk chicken tray came with rice & peas and cabbage, but was mostly rice with just one chicken leg. Definitely not what I expected for the price.
To make matters worse, I woke up later that night with food poisoning. Needless to say — NEVER AGAIN.

Deeply disappointed. I visited their food truck at the VA State Fair yesterday, hoping for a taste of real Jamaican flavor. What I got was overpriced, poorly prepared food that lacked the soul and authenticity of true Jamaican cooking. As someone who knows and appreciates genuine JA cuisine, I can confidently say this missed the mark entirely. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone seeking a real taste of the island.
Kraft Macaroni
Greasy Plantains
Under cooked Cabbage .

I so wanted this to be good. The jerk chicken was steam table quality, not fresh off the grill. The flavor was poor. They didn’t even have plantains.
Just mac & cheese.

Best food at the 2022 VA State Fair by far. Their jerk chicken was especially excellent! It was perfectly seasoned so that each bite was packed full of flavor. Very authentic! I definitely recommend anyone and everyone go check them out near the Horticulture Pavilion! This was their 1st time at the VA State Fair and I sure hope they come back next year.
Edit: It’s now 2025 and they are still the best food at the VA State Fair. Their food is deliciously authentic, and the staff are super friendly. They are now located near the Farm Bureau Center so they are even easier to find now.

1st time going & I enjoyed the food. I always try my best to support black owned business when I can and I heard about this spot and I decided to take my money to them and I wasn’t disappointed. Will be going back again soon I only wished they didnt run out of desserts. I wanted to try everything i could, but ill try again next time. I would 10 out of 10 recommend

Recently ate here at the Emporia Peanut Festival this year, and it was delicious! The curry goat was tender and flavorful, there was plenty of rice and peas and the cabbage was so good. They sadly didn’t have any Caribbean drinks by the time I ordered, because it definitely would completed the meal. I was so happy to see they’re in RR, only 15 mins away! This food is definitely worth the short drive, I’ll be placing another order soon to try everything else I wanted!
