What Jamaican food goes, this place comes close to creating an authentic experience. My staff and I ordered the execution of this place for lunch, and we were impressed by the food. We all ordered the Jerk chicken (Pretty Standard) and we also ordered to share the Mac n Cheese. I love that you can order the Jerk Chicken and it comes with one side of rice and beans (or rice and peas as they call it in Jamaica) and some Plantains. The chicken had a nice kick, but it wasn't overwhelming. The rice and beans add it well (I will say the rice in Jamaica generally has more of a coconut flavor, but this rice was still good). The Plantains were one of the best aspects of meal, and the Mac n cheese was...

I'm more of a sloppy big plate with a bunch of taste than a pretty one. In any case, it must be better. The Mac and the cheese were good,"

There are not many possibilities for Jamaican food in the area and wanted to try for a while. I ordered the Ruck Chicken and Ochsetail Combo and had a pineapple on the head cake for dessert. Overall, the food was pretty good. The chicken and the oxen had a nice taste and the chicken was not dry. Nothing that upset me, but I wasn't disappointed. But the service was bad and the food doesn't matter. I rarely complain about the service, but I don't want to be ignored and have little recognition from the staff. I don't want to come back.
A large mix of bad cooking and poor customer service. They had half of my order 'done' seconds after I placed it so that the lukewarm prefabricated pages were thoroughly cold while it took them over 30 minutes to make the rest... that was 1 burger with pommes. And you could absolutely say the frits that came with him sat around for a bit before they doubled them in hot oil to try how fresh to happen. And believe me... if the Mac's 'cheese and pommes are cold, you can really taste the dirty dishes that they're cooked and kept in.
This was by far the worst jerk food I have EVER consumed. The chicken was not grilled or seasoned. It was merely…hot! And jerk chicken consists of more than just trying to make someone’s nose run. The greens were straight from the can. No added seasoning to disguise the fact that it was not fresh at all. Do not waste your money or anticipation of good food from this establishment that falls short of delivering GOOD Jamaican cuisine. Book a table now

Ordered on Uber eats to pick up. Received a message saying that the order was ready to pick up after waiting 30mins. Arrived at the restaurant and staff said that the order was cancelled on their end and that they were closed when I placed the order. I didn’t get any food, received a debit from my bank account, and no option to prepare food or get a refund from the restaurant. Many thanks for the lovely customer service.
Great food, spice level was perfect and we will go back. The Jerk was the best I have had in along time, it added to the flavor of the chicken and pork but did not over power its natural flavor. The sides I like as well my favor was the rice and beans. Now my wife who I went there with her favorite was the plantains. Only wish I had was that they had red stripe beer but the Jamician sodas where a great replacement.
The marketing of this restauran in google is impressive . My experience eating oxitails here was very bad. most of the part of the food was 3 bons no much meat white rice neither and super little amount of food. The price to expensive $21plus.I do not Recomend this restaurant not at all. Book a table now
Incredible! Every item was delicious and perfectly prepared. We ordered the chicken curry daily special and the combo pork chicken plate. Tons of food in both, yet somehow we ate it all. We can't wait to come back to try other menu items, especially the meat pies.
