“ This restaurant serves the most delicious Jamaican food. Period The pricing and portion size are good as well. They never disappoint. ”
“ I love me some good delicious and affordable Jamaican food! I absolutely loved getting lunch from here and it did not disappoint- my coworker introduced me to this place when I told her I was craving some good chicken stew curry. Lunch prices are great- pro tip is so try going in person instead of ordering takeout. The workers there are also super friendly and patient as I asked about all the specials they have. They also take credit cards so no worries if you don't have cash on you! ”
“ This is my "go-to" Jamaican spot . I go here at least once a week . The oxtails are fall off the bone , I have also tried the brown stew chicken in the past and it was delicious. If you are nice to the ladies in the front they are pleasant back, never had any issues . They give generous portions that fill you, unlike other Jamaican restaurants I've been to who charge much but give nothing . I have told many of my friends and family about this place and I'm happy to share this review here also. As long as they continue delivering consistent delicious quality food I'll continue to come back. I would like to say, that if you're getting oxtails I found it better to go in the evening , the few times I came earlier than 4pm I've noticed the oxtails were a tad tough. So coming later in the day, it's a guaranteed win! ”

“ If they don't have an attitude or get sassy with you I don't eat at that Jamaican restaurant. They food not that good This place gas all the sass and spice, as much as they have loaded in their delicious jerk chicken. This place is a local gem -- the a simple collection of Caribbean Cuisines. They have several price point options associated with the size of the platter & quantity. The Small, Medium & Large price points will fit almost any budget; the portions are even hearty. It's better as a take out or delivery kinda place too. I highly recommend ”
