“ First time here. I'm in the area for work and I was wanting to try some different types of local cuisine. Found this near me. Came in around noon, very little wait. I ordered the jerk chicken with red beans and rice and I barely waited 2 minutes when they were handing me my food. Relaxed atmosphere, with reggae type music playing in background. The food was so fresh it was hot and steaming. Delicious. A colorful bed of red beans and rice with plump, tasty pieces of chicken and potatoes on top. This place is a must visit.! I'm definitely going to stop in again. ”
“ Delicious food. Friendly staff. The jerk chicken was delicious, a large quantity of food with a nice low heat. ”
“ If you’re hungry and looking for high quality caribbean style BBQ made with love, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND GO HERE. First things first, this family is kind, personable and their service is amazing. That’s the number one thing. My lady and I ordered the meals with beans & rice. We had Jerk Chicken & Brisket. We also ordered the Caribbean Greens and Sweet Slaw. Let me tell you, the flavors in this food had me from the first bite. The rice & beans are cooked perfectly and the meat is fall apart tender & smoked to perfection. The sides are not just thrown together with the meal no... the slaw was sweet and tangy and the greens were full of flavor. This place deserves WAY more traffic. Go now! ”
“ First time here, I ordered the jerk chicken and it was fantastic. The heat level was perfect for me, if you don't like probably not for you. The portion was generous. When I first opened the box I thought it might be dry but when I put my fork in it and it fell apart I knew it was tender and anything but dry. Very good food and better service. The owner (I'm assuming) was super nice very welcoming and very gracious. Will be back. ”
“ I don’t eat meat but the veggie options are phenomenal - curry chana and the greens are my go to and hit every time. My girlfriend is always beyond pleased with the meat options If you love truly spicy you absolutely must try their house made habanero hot sauce - didn’t even know they had it, just got it for the first time and it’s amazing!!! Also, this is a very clean establishment - you can tell they wipe all surfaces down and dust regularly. I hate seeing dust on everything and crusty dried food on the sides of counters and walls at a restaurant - it makes the food here that much better seeing how clean this place is! ”
