Celebrated my birthday here with Family and friends and turns out so did like 7 other groups! It…read morewas a fun time to be had by all. Vibing old school music and happy crowd. Food was good. I enjoy my food when I actually taste the food and not the salt so I loved it. Others complained not salty/seasoned enough but it was perfect to me. Chicken had the right amount of crunch and tenderness. The salmon was meaty (not fatty) and seasoned just right. I had the bbq salmon and it was delicioso! The Mac n cheese was a good blend of cheeses and 'cheesy' pull was excellent. Potato salad just right. The service was top notch despite the place being sold out and very busy!! Definitely will return, hopefully on a less busy day and time. Parking could be an issue but we lucked up and got a spot a block away.

Overall, I had a great experience. I visited for Sunday brunch and was impressed by the variety of…read moreoptions on the menu. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, although some dishes leaned a bit salty for my taste. I ordered the sautéed shrimp and grits. The shrimp were delicious, but I wish the dish came with a larger portion of grits. The gravy was very generous and ended up making the dish a bit soupy, so a little more grits would have helped balance the dish. Other highlights from our table included the fried shrimp and waffles, yams, and mac and cheese, all of which were excellent. Another guest in my party ordered the BBQ salmon and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. The ambiance is casual, comfortable, and inviting, making it a great spot for either a local brunch or a relaxed dinner. The service was attentive and pleasant throughout our visit. We were even greeted by the owner upon arrival, and his friendliness and hospitality immediately made us feel welcome and set a positive tone for the entire experience. Overall, this is a solid neighborhood restaurant with good food, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent customer service. I'd definitely return to try more items from the menu.

The fish was so dry that it was in edible. When I arrived home, I gave some to my wife and she too…read moreagreed that it was an edible. I had asked for regular fried fish, not hard fried. I made a mistake of ordering all fish it was 9 to 10 pieces and eight of them were inedible and I wound up throwing them away and the odds of me going here again are very very unlikely. Very sad. I wanted to like this place so much like I used to in the past but now I just wasted my money apparently it depends on which cook is there. The young one makes the fish too hard. The older person makes the fish normally so if I do go here again, I'll make sure if the cook that I want, but I'm certainly you're not gonna waste my money again. My wife and I decided that if I were to try it again, get a sandwich and see how it is. Also the cashier could be a little friendlier.

They offer samples on any and everything. This may have been my 4th time eating from here. The food I've had in the past was good. This time the food wasn't as great but it was still decent. The greens were salty and the Mac was bland (the candy yam juice on top made it better). But it was still edible.

This restaurant identifies as Black-Owned . There is no parking and it seems to be causing congestion as there are people double parking to pick up orders . The staff are friendly and they serve a full menu of soul food and Jamaican food . They will let you sample some items . The menu is extensive and expensive but what I tried was delicious. On the Soul Menu BBQ Turkey wings - they were good ! Smothered turkey wings BBQ Ribs Beef Ribs Fried chicken Fish - I had Catfish which was delicious ! Whiting Porgies Shrimp Collard Greens -not bad but needs some work . Candied yams Mac and cheese - I wasn't a fan Beans - I think Lima White rice Potato Salad Tuna Macroni Salad - I liked it but it's got a lot of Mayo Dinners come with corn bread . Jamaican Menu Jerk Turkey Wings Oxtail Stewed chicken Jerk Chicken Rice and Peas Cabbage Plantain They have dessert as well though I think I remember chocolate , red velvet and carrot cake . But I had the Banana Pudding ! It was excellent ! Made with vanilla wafers ! They deliver on door dash .

The max and cheese is delicious and the yams are drenched with cinnamon which I love. The corn bread is soft and dense and just perfect.

They also have a temporary shed for the summer, for additional outdoor seating. For my meal, I had a pancake burrito, and it was better than I could have expected. The pancake was so fluffy and tasty, with a hint of crisp on the outside and a nice chewy texture overall. The savory components of the burrito worked surprisingly well with the pancake exterior, making for a medley of sweet, salty, and umami that went really well together in every bite. Our server was excellent, can't say enough about how good the brunch was. I definitely recommend this place!

If they're not drowning in guest, which is only on the weekend, you're forgotten outside. I literally could have walked out on my bill. My order was taken incorrectly and wasn't checked on ONCE. IM so disappointed. Good food. But pray you come at a time where they remember you exist.

Special shoutout to Krystal at the bar--she was doing EVERYTHING. Bartending and serving tables at the same time, and still made sure everyone was taken care of. You can tell she really works hard and keeps the place running smooth. The food... definitely hit the spot. I had the fried chicken with cabbage and also tried the fried fish with fries. Everything was seasoned well, fresh, and came out hot. That fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, just how it's supposed to be. The cabbage had great flavor too--not bland at all. The vibe is chill.. I'll definitely be back and would recommend it if you're in Queens and craving some comfort food

The mac and cheese stood out - velvety, creamy and absolutely cheesy. As for the pulled chicken, you can taste smokiness in the meat, but I thought it was a tad dried out. The staff was great and attentive. I also love the casual and rustic décor, Perhaps next time I'll order the ribs, but for sure I'll get some mac and cheese.
