Great food and experience. Family owned business serving up some great food. I had jerk chicken with collard greens and rice & beans (with jerk goat “gravy” on top). Huge serving of delicious food.
They have Jamaican drinks too. I had a soursop drink.

Found the BEST Jamaican restaurant!!
OH MY! Check this place OUT! The flavor is OFF THE CHAIN!
When you get rice or rice and peas, they offer you the Oxtail gravy. Do yourself a favor and GET IT!! Soo tasty! They even have Jamaican imported sodas! The owner is friendly and the spot is slightly small, but great tunes and atmosphere. They have limited parking so beware of that.
Go early so they don’t run out of yams and mac like they had the day we went. We’re coming back early next time to make sure we get to try it!

I have heard about this place long before I got here and they did not disappoint!!! When I tell you the oxtails are succulent and make you lick your fingers good!! The cabbage disappeared before I could taste it good, it was that good!! And the rice and peas with the contrail gravy is some of these I’ve ever tasted!! Highly recommend this place!!

This place is fantastic. Got the curry chicken, yams and collards. I’ve been to Jamaica, have had friends moms cook for me….this is authentic as can be. Ladies serving are friendly and courteous. The atmosphere is as expected.
Thank you for the hospitality and memories.

Been going to this restaurant for about 1 1/2 years and it is the BEST food I have eaten in Tennessee since I’ve been here! Love the staff! Must try if you haven’t been! Everything is on point!

The staff were friendly but lack of communication and knowledge of the available menu was rampant today. At least 2 other customers had a misunderstanding about pick up time. The cashier was serving food with out gloves and wearing flip flops. Zero hair nets on anyone and at least 1 person handling food in the kitchen didn’t have gloves. Begrudgingly just got my order and left had i been able to get the cashiers attention I would’ve canceled my order. I didn’t notice anything until after I placed it.
The prices are high for what you get. Really high. Sat down to eat and couldn’t finish my food. Nothing but hard stems in the greens greens aren’t supposed to crunch or be rock hard. The chicken and greens i could’ve made at home. Got jerk chicken but the sauce was in a cup like for dipping and the chicken was dry as a bone. Thats the driest chicken I ever had. The macaroni had good flavor but was a gloppy hard mess I had to use a knife to cut Mac n cheese. I went based on reviews and usually it’s never open when I go even if Google says it is. I actually thought they shut down. I m really glad I didn’t get $30 ox tail. What went to get they didnt have. I can cook ox tail and alot of stuff on the menu.
Ive had alot of the same foods from different places. Not Jamaican. Honestly that was the absolute worst chicken and greens I’ve ever eaten in my life. Not worth the money I spent or the time. Extremely disappointed. Ox tail isnt cheap I know. I buy it i cook it it use to be poor ppl food so I grew up on ox tail, goat , all kinds of greens all kinds of foods. Especially coming from a highly multi cultural family. I wouldn’t have minded $30 oxtail cooked differently than im use i love trying new stuff out. Maybe they had an off day i dont know. Idk how you mess up greens and mac n cheese though. I’ve had better greens from a can. Meat dries out the longer it sits so im wondering exactly how old the unsauced chicken was. It was really dry.
The store seemed clean in the lobby and the cashier was nice and polite. I wont be back though
Not after seeing feet near food no hair nets no gloves. Thats just gross. At least she wore a hat.

Ive read about this place…. it didn’t disappoint. In fact, it is absolutely GAS (as the kids say).
I got the jerk chicken, rice&peas and collard greens. Everything cooked to perfection.
Great people, great service.
You looking for a hidden gem… this is it. GO.
