What a welcomed surprise!…read more We were craving some authentic Jamaican food and as per, Yelp didn't disappoint. We placed an online order for pickup (no dining in) and within about 3 minutes the owner (Orville) called us and alerted us that the steamed fish can take about 25 minutes. This helped us plan our trip, and we greatly appreciated it! We ordered the Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, and the Steamed Fish. We selected rice and beans/peas for our starchy sides and green beans for our vegetables. And we threw in an order of Fried Plantains (I cannot pass them up EVER). The restaurant is small and immaculately clean. I had the pleasure of chatting with Orville while he completed my to-go order. I love a hands-on business owner who genuinely cares about his product. The aromas were making my stomach growl, and I couldn't wait to get home to dig in! The portions were huge, and this made my day, as I love having lunch options for the next day (and the day following!). Everything was piping hot and sensational. You know how you can tell when food is made with love? Well, our dishes were created with extra helpings. SO GOOD. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with ample parking. There is nothing worse than circling the block and trying to find street parking...not so here! We are so thankful for having found this little gem!

Came here several months ago. It was not worth it... 1. I…read morewaited over 40 minutes for my food, even though it was just me and one other the person in line. 2. The food didn't have much flavor. How can you mess up jerk chicken at a Jamaican establishment? 3. It was pretty expensive for long awaited, kind-of-bland food. 4. They gave me the wrong side. I ordered takeout so I did not discover this mistake until after I got home. So disappointing and underwhelming.

It took me to tropical location immediately. The owner and his wife were so pleasant and he walked through the whole menu and made great suggestions. We got the Oxtail, fried pork, black rice, rice and beans, macaroni and cheese, creamy corn bread. The complimentary chicken Patty was delicious, so flaky, so light. We ordered additional 4 patties to go. Everything was so fresh. Everything was so seasoned. It was so good. We finished everything and ordered an additional meal to go. We definitely recommend you come out and try if you're in the area or don't mind the drive.We're certainly looking forward to his future location in central jersey **fingers crossed** Will definitely be back

Totally empty and they acted like I was bothering them when I ordered. I asked for extra gravy and she put maybe half a spoon extra. It was 7pm and they had a full try of oxtails- she was like searching for the ones to give me (I thought she was gonna weigh them) like they were precious. It was 20 bucks for basically 2 sides with a kids portion of oxtails and then they do that thing where they show the screen with the top option like I was gonna add a tip on top of that. I said no so fast and paid. Never again. Had I known I was gonna get 2 cups of rice and peas and 4 oxtails I would not have bothered.

I decided to give this place a try because the pictures looked promising and the prices were reasonable. However, when I arrived, I was surprised to find out it was actually a Chinese restaurant that also served soul food. Unfortunately, I was hoping for authentic Southern cuisine, and this just didn't deliver. While the food was edible, it lacked the flavor, seasoning, and homemade feel you typically expect from a true soul food restaurant.

I first want to start off by saying I have been a supporter of this establishment from when she…read morefirst opened doors at this location... From the very beginning she was always a little off in regards to poor time management, bad customer service, etc. The food however at the beginning was great, so my husband and I would deal with the quirks. I can finally say not only do I despise the horrible business owner that she is but also the food. Not sure what she did over the years (my guess is her crock pot usage) but the food is horrendous. This is how my night went. Go there, very friendly prompt young man helps me out, I place my order, of course she is out of something (she gives the most longwinded excuses). that's no problem I say. Wait 20 minutes ( shortest I've ever wAited I might add) give the pleasurable have a nice night. Drive home. Husband and child hungry. Open styrofoam containers. Noooo jerk chicken. Pretty sure i ordered jerk chicken platters... Drive back and they are astonished. She talks to the young man and seems annoyed (I should be more annoyed for the mere inconvenience) then I watch this nice polite boy scoop what looks like wet cat food out of a crock pot over the what is now cold rice and beans. She says nothing. Irritated, I just think if it was all right there in a crock pot why did I initially wait so long only to drive back because they forgot the meat. I get all the way home with now semi cold food and watch my son spit out the Mac and cheese (who knows how old it was) my husband almost choke on the bits of bones and me grazing over this "meal" in pure disgust. None the less I'm $36 dollars poorer for 2 jerk platters, side of Mac and cheese, 2 drinks. Food in trash and hungry. I never write reviews, but since it is the last time I will ever step foot into that establishment I thought I'd save someone else some hard earned money for this disappointment in a box.

How do you cook jerk without scotch bonnet, geez. Their West Indian grannies are turning over in the grave.
