    Chicken & ox tails

    The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. The owners are very welcoming and the portion sizes were very generous! The curry chicken and ox tail were fantastic! We will be back!

    Great local spot. Stopped in while in town because I was craving something authentic & this is the place to get it from. Real food from real people. Amazing flavors from this restaurant!

    Oxtail with cabbage and rice ( and beans?)

    I had seen the sign along Dayton Blvd. in Red Bank and curious as I've never had Jamaican cuisine, so I decided to stop in. I got t an option of three mains and four sides (I believe). I chose the oxtail with cabbage and rice (and beans?). Even though I ordered for dine in, I received my order in a to-go container. The oxtail was tender and tasty - lots of little bones, so beware. The star on my plate was the cabbage!! So flavorful and tender. The rice was quite dry - needed more gravy. The overall meal was good, although a tad pricey; however I would go back to try other dishes.

    I went for the first time. There is plenty of parking. There is a dine-in area. The food is out, cafeteria style. I was a little disappointed. There was no jerk chicken at 5pm. I got chicken patties that appear to be fried. They were not good and were not at all flaky and more like doughy. Didn't eat them. I didn't check before I got home so I will take the loss. Not sure if I will return. I know they are getting started so may try one more time. Glad I'm headed to NYC for authentic homemade patties soon. Hope that they bake them in the future and not fry them.

    Awesome spot in Redbank, the owners are super sweet and you can tell take great pride in their food. I got the jerk chicken wings with rice as well as some mac and cheese. When it was being made for me they said I had to get some ox tail gravy on top as it is the only way to eat it. Boy were they right, it was so flavorful and delicious I was almost licking the plate. Highly recommend checking the place out for a quick lunch or dinner.

    Curry Goat

    I wanted to treat my boyfriend to his favorite food. He is original from Jamaica and has been missing the authentic taste of Jamaica. He really enjoyed his food, he told his family about it multiple times! I found this place online and decided to give it a try. I'm very happy we did, we will definitely be back here!

    goat curry, cabbage, and fried plantains. dumplings w oxtail gravy with beef patties. oxtail with rice and peas and greens.

    This is a new business that opened October 2023. When I went in the people were extremely friendly,…read morewelcoming, and answered my questions. It is located in the shopping plaza. There is tons of parking available. I asked about the chicken tenders due to other experiences with soul, food restaurants. They actually cut their chicken breast themselves and do the batter for the chicken tenders. I also got mac & cheese and cabbage with mine. They use smoked turkey no pork for their vegetables, so that was good for me. They offer sweet tea, Kool-Aid and other soft drinks. I believe I am the first review for this business. Overall good experience, good, customer service, and good food. I look forward to supporting them in the future, and hopefully having a Yelp event to bring in more business.

    We visited this restaurant while in Chattanooga a few months ago. Yelp helped me find it (Kudos to…read moreYelp!) The owners were very nice and friendly and that made our visit enjoyable. I had read that they had some of the best chicken tenders ever, so that I knew I wanted to find out. On this day, they happened to be cooked a little hard. I could tell they were seasoned well and hand battered, meaning they weren't just from a frozen bag somewhere. I just wished they hadn't been cooked so long. They were kinda...tough to eat. The sides were ok...if I remembered correctly Bae and I talked about the lack of seasoning in the veggies. I understand that sometimes you can't always season veggies to everyone's liking. Some people need less, some need more. The price for two meals was a little expensive since we didn't have enough left over for a to-go box. For $40, the amount of food received wasn't what we were expecting. Oh and be prepared to wait. While there was only a few customers ahead of us, there was a long wait for our food. I think they cooked their meats to order so it wasn't a deal breaker. But waiting on the meats made the veggies be not so warm. However, I did enjoy the decor of the restaurant and the chit chat of the owners, and I want to see them successful. Hopefully they fix the kinks noted here. I would return if I'm in the area again.

    I knew this was gonna be good when I pulled up and saw a line of people in 40 degree weather…read morefreezing their behinds off for a plate. FYI, this is a food truck of sorts, so check out their Facebook page to see where they're located (Thurs-Sun). I got an oxtail plate with rice, greens and yams and a beef rib plate with greens and Mac n cheese (they doused my ribs with bbq sauce before I left--mmm!). Obviously that's too much food for one person, so when I came home I ate a couple ribs and a bite of everything else. Ribs and oxtail both succulent, juicy, and well seasoned; rice was covered in oxtail gravy (as it should be); yams were very good and the perfect amount of sweet; Mac n cheese was good, but I probably won't get it again (in general, mac n cheese is too heavy for me if I'm eating red meat as well. I wanna save my stomach space for meat!); greens were also well seasoned, not too salty. Two-person operation (at least on the day I went), very nice customer service and they take very good care with your food. Cash or cashapp only. Pay 'em a visit!

(the mark of a GREAT business man) Sent me away with a free sampling of the BBQ Ribs. Got home, and never even made it to the table... ate the whole thing, standing at the counter !!! (could NOT put it down) Best BBQ I've had in years... no exaggeration. Absolutely some of the best I've ever tasted. The people were VERY friendly, and definitely knew their business. Reminded me of the real Caribbean BBQ from the islands. (not the stuff they feed the tourists) Please, treat yourself to this food, and this unique BBQ experience the first chance you get, and support this local business. God bless the man that feeds his brothers and sisters.
