, avocado was spoiled. Didn't not come with the Calalloo or breakfast. Very unhappy won't come back here again. And on top of that when I came in they told me they made it nice for me. This isn't nice. I am not happy with this service or place read more

Food was great! I ordered curry chicken with rice and peas. I also ordered spicy beef patty with Coco bread. The beef patty was the bomb, but the Coco bread did not taste fresh. Other than that, I would recommend this place. Just an FYI, they don't do dine in, take out only. It could be because of Covid. And for those who don't know, one half is a café and the other half is a grocery store store. read more

The best Caribbean food joint in this area. Beef patties are executed with care and lots of flavor. Vegetable patties are spicy and delicious. Chicken patties are to die for. Oxtail is some of the best I've had. I come from The greater tristate area of NYC. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT. Love you guys. Uwe read more

I like this little place,it gives the feeling of back home.However when you open the front door and that box of salt fish welcomes you your appetite cuts.Be smart place it at the back with other meats. Place needs proper lighting. I didn't eat at the restaurant as I'm vegetarian but I see quite a lot of people here all the time support small businesses.I get my vegetables here as I like the smiling faces I see whenever I visit. read more

Honestly the worst experience in any restaurant I've ever had. The service was bad which I couldn't care for if the food was bomb. But both sucked. I waited for an hour for food that was supposedly gonna be ready in 5 minutes mind you it was just me and 4 friends inside... No one had a mask on. The oxtail wasn't fresh and their was no sauce/gravy on it or my rice. Honestly never planning on going back. Wish I had a picture to show how sad my plate looked. read more

But hol on, dis place deh deh fi years, and not one review? This place is not set up for tourists, it is set up for Caribbeans. Our familiar dishes aren't explained on an expansive menu chronicling the provenance and supply chain. Ask questions, but don't hold up the line, PLEASE. Expect good service and good food, but this is more of family affair not a corporate experience. On the grocery side - fresh mangos (they were from Haiti the day I went, but usually the mangos in a regular store are from Mexico and Latin America. That's the attention of detail) - White Yam, Yellow Yam, cassava every ting you need for ground provisions - green plantain, ripe plantain, green banana - Scotch bonnet peppers - oxtail and goat in the freezer - Lots of hot sauces - Easter bun, round bun, gizzarda, grater cake, peanut drop - traditional cast aluminum pots - nuff spices - dem likkle fine noodles - traditional health products like Dettol Probably more if you ask nice. On the restaurant side - Jamaican breakfast dishes like fried dumplings, ackee and saltfish, porridge, cow foot soup - Curry chicken, oxtail, and all the typical Jamaican dishes. I can't speak for all the dishes, but the beef patty, veggie patty, oxtail and curry goat are good. - Dragon Stout in the cooler along with D&G goodies. There might have been some Nutrament in there as well. The space has a few tables. Don't be surprised if you see 4 bredda playing some Ludo or a dj ready to lively up the place. You not really going to find too many places in the area that cater to Caribbeans. Caribbean spots tend to be more flexible than the average. read more

This is authentic Caribbean food!!! Absolutely delicious, and huge portions for a great price! I noticed this business has had one bad review, simply because of the greetings and attitude of the employees. Obviously this person has no understanding that not all people act exactly the same and greet you with a fake smile. These are the great people that come to this country to try to make a better life and don't need to please you with their fake smiles so please go to McDonald's. Again this is seriously great food! I will be back! read more

The person serving the food in the back area should try serving food without the side of attitude. I almost left while my order was being prepared. Customer service means a lot to me since I'm a business owner myself. This was my first time buying from this establishment and it will be my last because of the lady you have taking your orders round back. A smile goes a long way and if your interacting with your customers with that energy then I wish you guys all the best. read more

Friendly service and extremely generous portions. Good selection of bottled pepper sauces, too! This place is an instant favorite.

By far the worst customer service in Charlotte County. Presentation was horrible no workers wore masks not even the cook. Workers had soiled shirts and random people were walking in and out of the kitchen without masks going into the fridges. Food lacked flavor and was dry. Went on a Saturday evening with friends and family for takeout 3 of us ordered oxtail and the oxtail was dry, rough and lacked flavored. It was tough to chew and they said they were cooking it right then and there. "Ready in 5 mins". They lied. It tasted as if it were already frozen and they had to defrost and served it. Either way i would not recommend. Nor will i be going back! read more

The food was amazing and probably the best rice I have had. Only reason I am not giving 5 star is that the lady was extremely rude to my wife. Maybe just a bad day. Will be back and would recommend read more

I went to try this place after a friend told me about the awesome beef patties. I ordered several beef patties with coco bread. The woman at the counter up front seemed lees interested in me waiting to pay and continued to ignore me standing there while she continued her phone conversation. When I got home I began to eat one of the patties which was very dry and flavorless. The crust tasted like plaster hot sauce didn't help either. The coco bread was stale. Anyone who says these beef patties are the best, never ate beef patties from a real Jamaican restaurant in Brooklyn. Won't be going back. read more

Friendly, quaint Mom & Pop Caribbean grocer and tiny restaurant. Simple menu of pre-cooked takeout food that can also be eaten on-site at one of a handful of tiny tables. The entrees are a tour de force of Caribbean classics like Jerked Chicken and Curry Goat. VERY generous portions. The Curry Goat was artfully seasoned and properly cooked to falling-off-the-bone doneness. Be sure to grab some of the homemade Ginger Beer on the way out. I hesitated to write this review. This is an authentic gem of a place and I don't want to share. read more
