So where do I begin. We stopped in for lunch today (Saturday) at 11:30..well surprise surprise the door says they open at 10a but they were closed. Since we had something else to do we left an returned just after noon an they were open. We walked in an ordered at the counter. We had to repeat our order 2x to the woman writing it, then another woman entered into their system an had to again ask what we wanted hmmm ok.. So we sat down after telling them we were dining in. When the food was brought out we ordered a curry chicken roti, jerk chicken app, and a coco bread.. Well the jerk chicken was cold as if cooked Fri an put into a heating pan Saturday. I took it to the counter an let them know. The young lady took my plate in the back an I heard the microwave being turned on, which was a surprise since the grill was FULL of chicken. While waiting the owner came to the table an she apologized an told us she was taking care of the chicken for us, which we later found out what she meant was she was microwaving it for us not taking it off the bill. The food was just ok. The curry had a pretty good flavor but definitely wasnt Trini style roti and the jerk chicken didnt have much of a jerk seasoning taste to it. I ate here once before when they first opened an never returned, today I remembered why.

I go here all the time.... And usually the food and service is good but this time was different. First and foremost, let me start off by saying that the owner is NOT very friendly... The employees are more friendlier than her and theres something wrong with that. Now the day I went in, the owner of the establishment could not get the cash register to work..... So I had to wait an extra 20 min for my food even though it was sitting right there in the bag.... She was so occupied with getting the cash register to work, that she didnt attend to her customers who had already paid for their food and were ready to go.Making your customers wait when theyve already paid and their food is bagged and ready is poor customer service. Secondly, the curry tasted a little sour. Usually the food is good but on this particular day I felt that the taste was off. Not sure if I will be back for a while after this stunt.

Awesome food and kind, welcoming staff! I had the curry chicken, OMG, it was so full of flavor and melted in my mouth. The rice and beans are a perfect compliment to the spicy curry sauce, not too hot, but enough to make it interesting. I absolutely loved the "cabbage" which was a sauteed blend of cabbage, broccoli, peas, corn and spices which were cooked crisp tender (perfect in my book) and the tender fried plantains, slightly sweet, to bring it all together. This is a great change from my everyday lunches of salad, asian, burgers, and barbeque, repeat. Ill be back soon (Ill bring my kids with me)!

This place was pretty good – Solid establishment I went here earlier in the week – I liked it a lot. It’s not the best but far from the worst. I ordered the Jerk Chicken (Spicy version, of course) Lunch Special. This came with Jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage and sadly just 2 plantains… I am a person that loves plantains. The jerk was good, the rice and peas were tasty but I think it needed to be cooked a little longer, the 2 plantains were BOMB, perfect ripeness. I liked the atmosphere here too… its small but it’s a good place to have some lunch and chill out. Overall B-

I have never had Jamaican food before this place or even heard of people tryin jamaican food that I knew but when my girlfriend introduced me to this place last week her and I had fell in love with it. She has tried Jamaican food before though and she says this place by far is the best Jamaican food she has had yet.. We came back 3 days straight then skipped a day and came back again :) I LOVE theyre Jerk chicken mmmmm :)..and the thing that we both agree on the most is that the prices are so great and the portion sizes are HUUUUGGEEE!!!!:) over a 5 star review in my mind

Called in a order, the cashier said the order would be ready in 20 minutes. Got to the restaurant within 30 minutes and was informed that my order was never even made. I told the staff not to worry, if its not ready now then I dont want it. He then proceeded to raise his voice stating that my communication was bad. Not sure what calling in a order, given a time of completion, going to the restaurant within the given time frame and being told your order is never made has to do with communication issues on my end but due to that disservice they get one star from me.

I am not sure what the reviewers beef was, but I have been a white satisfied patron for more than 3 years. The food is like going back to the island and is always great with personal service that makes you feel like you ate at home. This is not fast food, it is home cooked and might take a bit, but is worth the wait. This is Jamaica in the US so remember to relax and as they say in Jamaica "soon come Mon"!!! Take the time to talk with Desmond and Mamma as they are awesome.

Very disappointed in the oxtails, the flavor was on point but it was nothing but bone. Extremely small portions for the money spent. I tried to give them a second chance but I will not allow them a 3rd time to disappoint. Also the jerk wings taste old. All around not satisfied. Absolute waste of money. I will stick will coconut Grove or Kool runnings....save your money and appetite for some place worth it !!!!!!

Being from the islands myself, I was ever so happy to discover this wonderful find. I used to drive all the way to Memorial Drive on many occasions just for a plate. But now, I dont have that problem anymore;they are right around the corner from me. From day one, I have never been unhappy or disappointed with their service or food. Your gotta check this place out..... You wont be sorry.

Thought I found a gem, considering its over 12 miles from where I live. Seems like as time has gone by over the few years the food is not as good as it use to be and the staff is not as friendly as they use to be. The prices on the website is inconsistent with whats charged at the store. I was shocked when I was prompted to show my ID for an $11.00 meal. Dont think I plan on going back.

This food is amazing. Been here a few time, and I am never disappointed! On top of the superb food is amazing service!! The guys behind the counter are extremely friendly! Goat falls off the bone! It is so good! ITA ... Below reviewer said bad service because he is white. I am a white customer, and that couldnt be further from my experiences.

Dont come here if you looking to have a meal. It is over priced for a small portion of food. I left restaurant still hungry and Ive never left a Jamaican restaurant hungry. Stew chicken left a nasty after taste in my mouth.. I might as well been served just bones..wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. What a waste of money...
