I told i got an extra beef patty for the wait, which isn't comparable to an hour of someone's time, however , when i finally got home to eat, there's no extra beef patty or anything. just my order and the rice which is bland even for white rice. i left my change as a tip,wasn't rude, wasn't rushing, didn't fuss but maybe i should've cause this is disappointing and feels like i wasted my money. i enjoy supporting local restaurants and family business, the owner is well intentioned but this was just enough to make me not come back.

How nice to travel to find a little piece of familiar culture!…read more I didn't expect to have a mind blowing experience. Opted for the oxtail because (go big or go home!) I felt it would be a good baseline by which to judge their skills. I think it was an excellent dish because the meat was tender, flavorful and light. Delightful. I definitely know they cook their own rice and peas fresh. So that winner and their appetizers are great and I definitely recommend them if you want something other than the local fare. As for their customer service, it's like a typical Caribbean spot. Service may seem surly but it is what it is. I will definitely be back!

So I'm going to start with the negative. If you call the phone number, no one will answer but you…read morewill very shortly after get a text message with the menu and a "how can I help you". Seemed super awesome at first right..... yes for the first 5 minutes. After that it become a very tedious and annoying process of 30 min of back and forth texting that could easily be handled in a 5 minute phone conversation. This method of ordering is not the best way to conduct business in my opinion. Then if/when you go to the location, there is only a door that is closed with a window on top. It instructs you not to bang, to text, and to have a mask on. Okayyyyy. There's also a chalkboard menu outside the door. Half the things on the menu, once texted to ordered, you will be told is unavailable. So what's the point of the menu. Also, you get no pricing. Even if you ask unless you press for the price and ask multiple times, you will not get it. So your total will be a surprise when you go to pay...and trust it will likely be a surprise with how expensive it is. When you finally get a text that your food is ready, your card will be taken from you, your food bag shoved at you, and very little words if any exchanged. But your food bags will be heavy. NOW THE FOOD. As a Jamaican myself, the food was delicious. The portions are ginormous, so think about sharing. We ordered the stew snapper and jerk salmon. Each comes with rice and peas (which is 3/4 of the container), steamed veg, and plantain. A large Mac and cheese will be the entire container. So unless you need to feed 3-4, don't get a large. The rice and peas is good. Flavorful and clearly done with coconut and pimento seeds... how it should be. The jerk salmon looked burnt and dry but surprisingly was not in the least. The veg was delicious and I could eat a side of that alone. The macaroni and cheese was perfectly cheesy and seasoned. The food itself might be why people put up with the terrible ordering system and lack luster customer service.

We asked what kind of soup they had he was clearly annoyed and very short in his response. After ordering we sat to wait. The man went to talk to two waitresses and all three looked at us and laughed. After waiting for a while I went to him and asked how long before the soup will be ready he looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and said I don't know. We got up and left. We've heard some people around there had the same experience with rudeness. And that the food isn't good either. I'll make sure I let everyone I know never go there. Very unprofessional. Wish I could give less than one star.
