Felt bad for the bartender, I believe his name was Rodney? He was the only one working the front! Husband had a burger and fries. He really enjoyed his meal. I tried their grilled pork steak chop dinner. Comes with two and you have options to have them grilled, fried, or smothered. Two sides I had corn bread and green beans. Also a side of cabbage. All very good!! Pork chop I give a 8/10! For drinks I did try one of the drinks of the night which was a pink senorita. Wasn't too bad and then finished off with a Stella Artois! Husband drank modelo. The Friday night drink special was a bucket of modelo or coronas.

The restaurant is so much bigger and livelier and were so excited to see all of their success. Definitely come early to be able to try their brisket and Tony Mac! You wont regret anything you try but those are defnitely our favorites. Oh and the ribs, if you're looking for the incredible smokey juicy flavor look no further. Any of their bbq sauces are great and pair well, but we highly recommend giving their original a go because of the perfect balance of sweet, savory, with a bit of a kick.

Went here on a Saturday night to grab an early dinner. We ended up going to the bar side which may…read morehave been the wrong decision, as it took quite a while to get our food. Our waitress came quick enough to get our order, it's just that the food took a while. Maybe the side with counter walk-up is quicker. I ended up getting the catfish sandwich with fries and of course tried all the bbq sauces with the fries. The catfish was fried perfectly and the seasoning on the outside was quite tasty. Made for a very good sandwich. The fries were a little soggier/more oily than I would like, but I did use them to try the sauces. None of them were overly spicy, just a good flavor. I think my favorite was the Memphis which had a nice smokiness to it. For dessert I did end up ordering the key lime pie and was very happy with it. Tangy and refreshing! I somehow managed to save some for the next day and it was just as good. Overall, the food was good and the staff was friendly, it just took a while to get the food. There was a lot of to go business, so that's maybe the best way to order.

Just delicious! We thank them all for their southern hospitality!!! We will definitely be returning!

I had a rib tip dinner, which came with 2 sides, and purchased an extra side of green beans (which…read morewas $6.99!!!!!!). My total was just over $30, which is absurd; particularly since the ribs were on the tougher side - almost as if they were reheated. While I love to support black owned businesses, and this one has a rich family origin story - I'm not sure I'll be returning with that price tag and experience.

Better than some I've had _in the Caribbean_ Fried catfish? Crispy. Not greasy. Flaky, moist fillet. Don't even get me started on the greens!

The mac and cheese is everything you want it to be--rich, creamy, and perfectly cheesy that tastes like home. The collard greens are seasoned just right, tender and full of flavor without being too salty. The chicken wings? Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned so well they don't even need sauce. And let's talk about the smothered chicken. Tender, flavorful, and swimming in that perfectly seasoned gravy that just begs for a piece of cornbread to soak it up. The portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and the food tastes like it was made with love. Best place when you're craving comfort food, you can't go wrong here. I'll be back soon!

We really wanted to love Mama Jerk N Tings, but the food really missed the mark…read more I was excited about this place because I love supporting small businesses, but unfortunately with the higher prices and poor quality food we were served, we won't be back. We went around 5 PM, there was one other person waiting when we walked in. First let me say, the cashier was amazing. She was beyond pleasant and professional, and truly the only good part of the visit. But the vibe got super uncomfortable when the cook came out of the kitchen and snapped at her right in front of us over a custom order. Plus, it took almost 30 minutes to get our food, which makes no sense because the restaurant wasn't crowded at all. As for the food, most of it lacked authentic flavor. To be honest, I've had better Jamaican food from the grocery store. The Good: The jerk sauce itself was actually good. The Sides: The gungo rice and peas were unremarkable (parboiled rice, no flavor). The cabbage wasn't fresh at all and used what tasted like canned carrots and corn. The plantains were dry and tasted like they were old and/or microwaved. The Chicken: The jerk chicken was incredibly dry and lacked flavor. It was almost crumbly in consistency. We also tried the jerk egg rolls which had bones in them and the jerk nachos which tasted like cheap nachos you'd get at a high school football game. Nothing exciting. The restaurant itself is a really nice space--honestly, I hope they find other good uses for it--but the dining experience we had left us very disappointed.

Music is pretty loud in this small space. We decided on the 3 entrees for 69.00 with a glass of wine. We chose the pepper steak, smothered chicken, orange chicken, catfish and spaghetti, and the bbq catfish. Overall the food was ok., The bbq fish was a little to fishy and the smothered chicken was heavily salted. The star of our 6 dishes was the fried piece of catfish. The food came out quickly but nothing was piping hot. The server was OK as well, he did exactly what we expect of a server nothing more nothing less. I will say next time I would take the drive to the West side location, to me the food choices are better as well as the service.
