It was my first time trying Jamaican food and I loved it. My husband got ox tail which was the best.. I want to go back to eat that for myself. I chose jerk chicken with rice & cabbage, and we also got sweet plantains on the side, those were delicious as well. The lady saw the plantains that were left didn't look as fresh so she made us some fresh ones which was very appreciated, and thoughtful. Will definitely come here again! There's a lot of choices, some Jamaican treats and appetizers as well, and drinks! Also the portions were good!

I've had Oxtails at half a dozen Jamaican places, the Oxtail here is the most flavorful I've had, amazingly delicious! The portions are perfect. Other Jamaican restaurants are typically take-out places, fast casual instead if sit-down dinning, they do tend to give more meat but they weren't as tasty as this. I also loved the fact that I got both rice & plantains! The young waitress was the daughter of the owner & she was super friendly, chatty & genuinely a nice person. Thanks for the chat & a wonderful dinning experience. I promised to share some photos of the tractor, so here they are.

But my husband and I managed to sneak away for a dinner,just the two of us, and I was so excited to get to try Miss Penny. We will 100% be back this place did not disappoint! First of all the daughter of the owner and chef was one of the most lovely people. She was just perfect! She welcomed us so warmly and took the time to explain everything on the menu when we were new to Jamaican food. She gave her recommendations for the different fruit juices and what to try on the menu. When my husband with a more adventurous palette tried the oxtail. She was giving him tips on how best to eat and enjoy it. She was so helpful and made the whole experience perfect. I loved the more upscale setting with the white tablecloths and the beautiful dish ware, which made it feel like a nice date spot. I'll be back! I hope this restaurant stays for a long time in Manchester! We started with the jerk chicken eggroll, which was very yummy. I just wish there was a little side of the extra sauce that was d drizzled on top as that was good and I would have liked a little bit more. I'm sure I could've asked for some, and they would have provided it. I ordered the Rasta pasta with jerk chicken, and it was the most perfect flavor and taste. It did have a little bit of spice, but I like spice! And the owner's daughter made sure to let me know so it wasn't a surprise or anything. The chicken in the pasta was nice and tender and I'm picky with chicken. My husband really liked his oxtail, but I'm not adventurous so I didn't try it.

The jerk burger was good also from what I hear. I originally came here to have the mimosa tower, but they didn't have mimosas anymore. So instead we had a rum punch tower and a margarita flight.

My favorite hands down was the curry chickpea zucchini. It was a flavor explosion of veggies that was amazing. They also have a fridge full of patties packaged up for you to take home and bake. They had a dessert box too and today's special was pumpkin coco bread. The lucky couple in front of me grabbed the last two. Glad I live close enough to drop in regularly now.

Place is smallish, but there's a counter with a few stools if you want to eat inside. Service was very friendly & efficient. Brisket was good -- tender and moist. Nice bark too. Ribs had a smokey flavor, I liked the rub they used. But a few were borderline tough. Collards were excellent. Overall, this is decent "northern Q", I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area. Thomas' Smokey Pit Stop BBQ is a solid 4 Star rating, IMO, and that's coming from a guy who consumed a lot of Q in northern Alabama when he lived down there.
