    Brown stew chicken, rice and beans, cabbage
    Amy M.

    Stopped by for lunch with my friends today and we were pretty impressed. I have passed by this place multiple times and never stopped because it took me a while to realize that it was even back here. The signs with the daiquiris on it finally grabbed my attention enough to search online for what this place offers. I grabbed the brown stew chicken plate with rice and beans, and cabbage. I also got a cocoa bread and a bottled Jamaican cola. All of the drinks other than the daiquiris are in bottles, but they have a couple of choices: Jamaican ginger beer, pineapple soda or regular champagne cola, and then bottled water, Coca Cola and sprite. My friends ordered the jerk chicken plates with string beans and cabbage and rice, and a side of plantains. I loved the brown stew chicken. It was so tender, it fell off the bone. The flavor was delightful, and I really liked the spices they used in the chicken, the string beans and the cabbage. All of the spices together were great, and it was really well-balanced so none of them stuck out as overly-aggressive. It was very well done. The rice and beans were a tad dry, but that tends to happen in restaurants I feel, so I'm not going to hold that against them, I'll just opt to try one of the other side options next time. The cocoa bread was slightly bigger than my whole hand, but was very fluffy so it is DEFINITELY worth the price. It tastes like a nice sweet roll and was awesome for sopping up brown stew. I loved the plantains too. They were still super creamy and soft on the inside, and the outside was crisp, but not super caramelized which I prefer because it is tidier, and doesn't hurt my teeth as much as some places that let it get really overcooked and brown and sugary on the outside. I'm sure that's just a preference and some people might disagree, but I think their plantains were my favorite I have had in a long while because of the texture. The vibe is sort of interesting. With three large TVs above the very large bar playing various things (sports, news, and something else), this place almost feels like a sports bar, but cleaner and with better lighting. Some catchy reggae-esque music playing too so it really did feel like a cleaner version of a sports bar. We didn't try the daiquiris since it was lunch time and we all still had to pick our kids up from school, but they had 6 different machines with flavors, and can make a ton of combinations from that, layering them to be super gorgeous. We were very tempted. I will definitely be back to try everything on the menu, the oxtails and curry goat and pretty much everything on the menu looks amazing, and I am DEFINITELY getting a daiquiri in the future.

    Small Pepper steak
    Renada N.

    On my only free Saturday in a long time I wanted something good and Caribbean or in this case Caribbean-esq was the move. I ordered pepper steak (I should have ordered the shrimp curry) with two side dishes-small order. My side dishes were macaroni and cheese and the cabbage. I also ordered a veggie patty. The pepper steak was tasty and they give you a lot. The macaroni and cheese was good, and so was the cabbage. But, in all the Caribbean food I have tried, I have never had mixed vegetables in my cabbage and It's the mixed vegetables with string beans and corn that you would put in the soup. I mean, your girl ain't complaining because it hit the spot, it's just different from what I'm used to, that's all I'm saying. It was a little saltier than I would have liked, but it was not overwhelming. They told me that this was the same place that used to be Petersburg. I was there years ago and I only had oxtails. I think I'll try them- the restaurant and it's oxtails again. I definitely recommend that you get the veggie patties to eat with your stuff. So go to this place then take your meal and a nice cold cup of something to drink in front of X-Files or law and order of any flavor that you've already have seen 9 million times and baby.... you're in for a time.

    Curry chicken, rice & peas, cabbage

    Food is really good! Plenty of rice and chicken for the small plate. Unfortunately my cabbage was cold, uncommon but maybe that's how they roll. Also, service was a little shaky I was the only customer and 3 people greeted me before placing an order. Lastly, the lunch should include a side, so consider reworking the portions so it's more than meat and rice. Would've been a 4 rating if based just on the food!

    Delivery- Large size Oxtail stew with cabbage and rice & beans.  Yum!

    My oxtail meal was really tasty! I ordered food through uber. I ordered a large oxtail dinner and picked rice & beans and cabbage as my sides. All of the food was very flavorful and cooked with love. Things were done just about right. The rice and beans were just moist enough from a rich dark gravy from the oxtail and well seasoned, The cabbage was more finely cut than I've had in a while, making it feel like a step up, and not like someone just took a hatchet to a cabbage head. The oxtail was just right. I think they have a big daiquiri menu at the restaurant. When I initially drove by the place and didn't know what it was, I thought it was some kind of asian tropical frozen smoothie place because it had a big sign with a frozen drink that said "Daq.". I couldn't order any if the drinks off of Uber Eats so I will need to go there soon in person.

    Stopped by for lunch and had a jerk chx bowl w rice & peas. Jerk sauce was too sweet and not spicy at all. It was ok... I'd like to try it without the sauce next time I'm in the area. My gf had the oxtail dinner and loved it. I tried a daiquiri, can't remember the name.... It was too sweet, too tangy, too boozy and I couldn't finish it. I'd definitely return. Staff very friendly.

    Oxtails, cabbage, macncheese

    I was blessed to be served by Howard and met part of the cooking staff on February 2. The service was excellent..100%. Atmosphere....clean peaceful and calming. Food....OMG!!!......steaming hot and delicious. My first time having oxtails, cabbage was cooked to perfection and Mac n cheese was like my grandmama's. Ginger beer-my new beverage of choice. I will be back!!

    Pepper Steak

    Amazing food. Great portions! Awesome service! 10 out of 10, I recommend this place for your carribean experience!

    Michele H.

    This place is a great spot to grab some really good Caribbean/ Jamaican food. Stopped by in the middle of the day and the place is booming with great music and great service. They have daiquiris if you're looking for a drink and they are strong!! The place was busy but the wait was not bad food was pipping hot and fresh. Definitely coming back to try the whole menu.

Our waitress was really sweet and personable, which always makes a difference--especially when you're traveling with kids. The food was delicious. I ordered the smash burger, my husband had the salmon, and both were excellent. The kids ordered from the kids' menu--chicken tenders and a burger--and everything came with fries. We also ordered the sweet potato fries and those were a standout--definitely recommend them. Overall, it was a great stop during our trip with good food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed our experience at Shirley's.

We actually came…read morehere for her birthday a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it so we were excited to return. Since we were informed that we couldn't make reservations on the same day, we did have about a 45 minute wait when we got there but we didn't mind. We were sent a link to track how far we were in line, which I thought was very helpful. Once we were seated, our server came over right away with waters. She was extremely nice and gave us time to look over the menu. The Potato Leak Soup was on their March Specials Menu so we decided to order that with a Bread Basket to start. The bread was delicious, very soft and warm, it was served with a whipped, honey butter and herbed oil. Unfortunately, the soup was cold when we received it. I'm not sure if it had been sitting a while but we did have them returned. Oddly enough, they were returned in a larger bowl, not the same size cup, but with the same amount of soup lol. It definitely was weird but it was indeed piping hot and the soup was delicious. The Crab Stuffed Mushrooms were great as well. I decided on the Crab Stuffed Shrimp, my daughter chose the Chicken Marsala and my sister went with the Hand Cut NY Strip. I thoroughly enjoyed the Shrimp, the flavors were great and the NY Strip was cooked perfectly. My daughter wasn't a fan of her Chicken Marsala but they did switch it out for some Salmon. Overall, my daughter had a great birthday dinner yet again. Our server was new but we couldn't tell because she did a great job at making sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is delicious! I will always recommend Sedona Taphouse for anyone looking for a great meal and dining experience.

The place is warehouse size HUGE, so i doubt they ever completely pack out. The low country seafood boils are amazing, and very generously portioned.

Perfectly fried and seasoned. Clam chowder was new england style. Delicious, but not hot. Just warm. We were so hungry we didnt send back. Got a local IPA on tap. It was warm & stale. Our server was so kind & honest about it. She shared that several people returned their tap beers that day because they were warm, and admitted she didn't know enough about beer to help me so the bartender would come over. Wow! That's outstanding customer service! Apparently the IPAs in bottles were EXPIRED as per the very nice bartender. So I got a Sam Adams instead. Whatever, you're here for the seafood and it is excellent. Just disappointed with a huge bar, you would expect the beer to be ok. Our server, i wish i could remember her name because she was so nice and smiley. Definitely would return here if in area again. This was a pit stop on a roadtrip vacation.
