He said the shrimp was okay, but we both really enjoyed the chicken and ribs. The meat was tender, cooked to perfection and well flavored. The mac salad could have used more seasoning but overall it was a solid meal and we will definitely be back.

I'd generally opt not to leave a review because they're in our neighborhood, but all the reviews…read morehere about the food are high stars...and that doesn't feel accurate to me. If you check the google reviews and sort by "newest," you'll get a better idea of what's actually going on. We picked up a jerk chicken meal and a beef and cheese patty to share. We also ordered a side of the escovitch vegetables that we didn't receive, and a bottle of Jamaican grapefruit soda. The total came to $39.15. The jerk chicken wasn't a generous portion and was basically shredded, with one cleavered hunk of thigh sitting on top of the pile. It tasted okay, but mostly just like regular charcoal-grilled chicken. The rice and peas that came with the meal were bland and not cooked properly. There was a massive amount of it, unfortunately. The cabbage was pretty tasteless as well, and it was a very small amount sitting on top of the rice that filled the container, maybe four bites total. Cabbage is pretty inexpensive, so this felt odd to me. The plantains weren't ripe enough for this cooking method; they weren't sweet and were hard and starchy in the middle, inedible. All around, this food doesn't taste good and isn't well prepared. The amount of chicken was ridiculous for $24, and they forgot the escovitch vegetables. Most of the meal went in the trash because it was majority rice and peas, which weren't tasty. We won't be back, which probably goes without saying.

Great service from our waitress. Was sat right away and most of our needs were met. I ordered the…read morepancake breakfast with the pancakes prepared well done, cheese eggs, bacon and a side of cheesy grits. My hubby had the catfish and shrimp dinner with greens, coleslaw, mac and cheese with cornbread. Breakfast: Pro's- my pancakes were cooked perfectly. Well done, crispy edges, fluffy and soft inside. Some of the BEST pancakes I've had in a very long time. Eggs were good and I really enjoyed the thick cut bacon. The consistency of the grits were the perfect texture and required NO extra salt. Con's- I asked for more strawberries and was denied. They said it was just a garnish. I would've paid extra if need be, so I was taken a back by the response. The fruit complimented the cakes like jelly does with peanut butter. You can have it alone, but together it's even better. Another con was they charge extra for cheese in the grits and in the eggs. The charge has become customary so thats no big deal, I just hate when you're not told it'll be an extra charge and get a surprise when you're settling the bill. Lunch: Pro's- Shrimp and coleslaw were very tasty. Con's-My husband was disappointed with the fish. He stated it lacked flavor despite it looking well seasoned on the outside. I guess it didnt soak into the actual fish. The greens were ok and he didnt care for the mac and cheese. Overall, good. However, just an ok lunch which was surprising because we used to come here for our Black History celebration every year and the food would always exceed expectations. The music playing in the background added to the ambiance in a good way. Give them a shot. Pro tip- Brunch starts at 12pm on Sunday so if you want to beat the church crowd go b/w 12-12:45pm that day. Definitely worth checking out. The brunch is delicious!

You're guaranteed to see people from all over Buffalo gathered at the bar enjoying great food, drinks, and even better conversation. The food is outstanding, and the servers are fun, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The only downside is the wait time for the food, which can be a bit long at times, waiting an hour is the minimum. Even with that, the atmosphere and quality of the experience keep me coming back. Order the haddock and macaroni/cheese. #HappyEating

We placed a reservation and were told when our table was ready. Our server Ruby was outstanding! She promptly brought more drinks, answered questions and gave us the time to decide. The breaded fish was delicious, as was the Mac salad and slaw. I chose onion straws as my third side. They were fine and would have complimented a steak nicely. My fault, they were lost under a fried fish. They had a good crowd despite the frigid conditions and the lot was well plowed. I should have gone with the mac and cheese. It looked great and everyone else liked it. Shout out to Ruby who certainly made our night. A great place for Mardi Gras reveling in a few weeks!

I've visited Hawaii several times to see relatives and was born in Southern California, where Hawaiian plate lunch spots are common, and this food absolutely reminded me of those experiences. What really stood out was the hospitality. David was incredibly friendly, took the time to talk with us, and made us feel welcome. You can tell he cares about both the food and the people who walk through the door. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and has a great atmosphere, and the small bar area is a nice touch. For a place that's only been open a few months, they're doing something special.

You can also add side of homemade hot sauce which is an up-charge but oh my it's so hot but also so delicious, I'd recommend it! This entree was a lot of food and worth the wait (about 10 minutes) and price. I also ordered the lemon tiramisu for dessert which was also very good. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere was warm, lively, and inviting for both intimate conversations and lots of laughter. For my drink, the sorrel smash was definitely a smash! It was smooth, refreshing, and beautifully balanced. For appetizers, the Tallyman Boat completely surprised me. The plantain hummus was so creamy and flavorful. I also got the Saltfish Fritters which are a must order. Now if you enjoy jerk chicken and pork, do not skip the Jerk Experience - table side. The jerk pork especially had me about to do a praise dance. Now keep in mind it ain't cheap, it was $85, but it was a good time for my tastebuds. The only miss was the fried snapper. It was more so because it was a such a little piece and not necessarily because of flavor.

All of the lunch specials come with rice & peas, cabbage, and plantain, but they were out of plantain that day so I swapped it for extra cabbage. Both meals hit the spot. Nothing that completely blew me away, but definitely the kind of food that satisfies the craving. The jerk chicken tasted like it came straight off the grill, super flavorful with that smoky char. The curry chicken was really good too. I ran into a couple chewy bones, which I expected since it's a bone-in stew, so it didn't take away from the meal. My only real complaint is that I wish the curry had a little more gravy because it was slightly dry. It also felt like it was missing a little something... maybe it really was the missing plantain. Still a solid lunch and a place I'll keep coming back to. Can't wait to try the dinner menu. 7.8/10.
