She made the experience even better with her positive attitude. The food was top-notch! I'm usually not big on franchises, but this location is consistent and absolutely delicious. We had the oxtail, which was tender and falling off the bone with amazing flavor. The curry goat had the perfect amount of spice, and the jerk chicken was just as delicious. The mac and cheese looked a little dry at first glance, but it definitely wasn't--it was rich and flavorful. The cabbage was perfectly cooked, and I loved the addition of carrots, peas, and corn. The rice was cooked just right as well. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be returning soon!

The jerk chicken had the perfect spice and smokiness, the curry chicken was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the rice and peas were seasoned perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive and our server was helpful with recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant has a lively, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the flavors are authentic! I left feeling completely satisfied.

Portions were significantly smaller and the ham croquetas were very disappointing. They definitely changed the way they made them. The ham in the croqueta was hard and tasted old and everything else did not taste like it was freshly fried and crispy. On the other hand, I ordered a cheeseburger, and that was amazing... I'm hoping to give it another shot one day, but it's not my first choice. The restaurant itself is very clean, service is very friendly and if you get the opportunity to sit outside on the patio, you will not be disappointed. Parking is a little tricky because it's not a big lot and you are sharing it with the restaurant nextdoor and the condo's.

I do think that this event at Wise Man Brewery was my first time ordering from them. I sampled both the Jerk Chicken with Black Beans/Rice, and the Haitian Fried Pork with Plantains! The jerk was really good with a fair amount of meat, and a heaping amount of black beans and rice! The chicken is extremely well seasoned, and true to their roots, very spicy! The fried pork chunks was my absolute favorite dish as the chunks were not overly fatty, tender inside, and quite flavorful! The accompanying plantains were large in portion size and right on the mark! The one downside to ordering from them is the extensive menu that they offer which ultimately slows them way down! I waited nearly 20 minutes for my food, and while they may say that you're getting a fresher experience, I say that's way too long for a food truck experience! While very good, I probably wouldn't reorder from them unless like this time, they were the only option!!

There is also a gravel and grass lot in the rear of building down the side street. You would need to walk about a half block if you park there. There is a sidewalk, but the walk is up a slight hill, so be aware. I did not notice any specific handicapped spaces. The entrance opens into the main seating area, with a stage on the left. The menu is on a white board near the entrance. The ordering counter is in the rear. Seating is all tables with a few seats at the counter. Everything looked bright and clean, even if it was not all new. We placed our order and went to find a seat. The food was brought to our table in about 10 minutes. The Jerk chicken plate was very good. There was some spicy heat throughout the dish but not enough to be distracting. The flavor was very good. The side of cabbage was a very good accompaniment to the chicken. The rice was fine but nothing special. The plantain was cooked properly, but it would have been nice to have more than one small piece. The beef and curry chicken hand patties were quite good. Both had nice flavor and were more filling than expected. The selection of fillings does change, and they also run out of certain fillings so the availability does change. The food here is very good and the variety can keep you occupied for several trips. Or, you can just re-order your favorite every time and still walk away more than satisfied.

We moved to the area a few years ago now. We are from a "big city" where restaurants were in high…read morecompetition with each other and good food was not hard to find in any style. Here in this region we have struggled to find what we think is good quality food. There have been a few, some out of business now, like Angry Italian and Union 51. Sure you've got the chains... but good quality food in any style is hard to find here. And along comes my buddy, has lived here for years. His is from Jamaica "man" - sorry just had to. Anyway he takes me to Milly's Authentic Jamaican and wow what a great experience! I have been back there now I guess 10 times. And you know what is surprising? The consistency! One of the worst things that can happen is you like a dish and you return only to have it flop. Not here at Milly's. Cafe style. Kid friendly. Jamaican style Christian music - very cool. Great staff. Oh did I mention the food? Every time I go I intend to take pictures...but I started eating even before the plate hits the table - lol.

Visited: Friday, June 13th, 2025…read more We decided to check this place out, and overall, it was a solid experience with a lot of potential! Here's the full scoop Ambiance: There's a nice amount of outdoor seating with a chill vibe. Inside, the space is cozy and clean--nothing fancy, but definitely inviting. I loved that the buffet is behind glass and served by staff --much more hygienic than your typical buffet setup. Pricing: Shoutout to them for offering a senior buffet price of $9.99, compared to the regular $16.99. That's super appreciated when you're dining out with parents or older relatives . Drinks: We ordered jugo de maracuyá (passionfruit juice). The flavor was there, but the pulp kept floating to the top, so the texture was a little odd. Still refreshing though! Food Experience: My mom started with the buffet and felt the food was lukewarm--not cold, but definitely not hot either . No heat lamps or lids on the trays might be the reason. Thankfully, the manager, Jesús, was amazing and open to feedback. He told us the place is under new ownership (just a few months in), so I'm hopeful improvements are coming. My husband also had the buffet and really enjoyed the rice and beans --well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. I ordered the Mar y Tierra mofongo platter , which came with: Garlic shrimp, Steak, Arroz con gandules, Fresh salad, And oddly... beans, even though the rice already had pigeon peas? The mofongo was great, and the salad was fresh and crisp. The steak and garlic sauce were both flavorful but unfortunately super salty--I couldn't finish it. The dish itself could definitely feed two people though! Dessert Letdown: I asked for tres leches cake, and I'm so glad I've learned to smell it before digging in. The milk had definitely gone bad . It's tricky with that kind of dessert since it spoils quickly if not stored right, since it consists of three different milks. Service: Top-notch. Jesús (manager) was kind, professional, and genuinely cared about our experience. Cris, our waitress, was sweet and attentive--she kept our table spotless and always checked if we needed refills or anything else. 10/10 for service --- Final Verdict: Great service Clean and comfortable setting Good flavors (but watch the salt) Affordable for seniors Just needs better temperature control and fresher desserts Would I come back? Yes. Especially to see how it improves over time with the new owners.
