Visited after a long day at work. I suggest ordering ahead because it takes quite a while for them…read moreto prepare food and i was also informed some dishes are made to order. I should say that for non-Caribbean folks the food would taste ok, but for me I think the food lacked effort. I must say that I was impressed with the bone to meat ratio for the goat curry. The oxtail was a bit tough and I am kinda bummed they didn't add butter beans in the sauce. I expected a lot more from a highly rated place.

Can't lie, I go here once a week or every two for lunch. And I get the same thing, the jerk bbq…read moreribs plate. With the rib plate I typically get about three meaty ribs. They're covered in a tangy, somewhat spicy sauce, and are tender. I mean, finger licking good delicious. The other items of rice and peas and cabbage are good and are plenty to fill you up paired with the ribs. The time from placing your order until getting your food usually takes about 15 maybe 20 minutes. And the price for everything is bad, typically comes in under $15. I've been to a few Jamaican restaurants in the area and this one seems to be the most consistent and best tasting if you ask me. So I highly recommend them.

I found exactly what I was craving and couldn't be happier I stopped here.

While I wasn't immediately impressed, I truly appreciated her engaging and friendly service, which made the experience more valuable. The ambiance has a charming island vibe, and the taste is authentic and vibrant. The jerk chicken was freshly made, perfectly spicy, and served with rice and peas--not leftovers like some places serve. It's definitely more authentic than most spots in Atlanta where I'm from. Without a doubt, they're the best in the area. If you aren't getting Jamaican food from here, you're missing out!!

I decided on the curry chicken lunch special which came with rice and peas, cabbage, plantain, cabbage and vegetables. Its a fairly small portion thats why I subtracted a star. I've never gotten such a teeny meal as a lunch special. It was delicious nonetheless. I'll be back.

Spicy (not too, but substantial) jerk chicken plate with half a chicken served over a bed of delightfully aromatic red beans and rice (unfortunately a bit dry) and a slightly overcooked, sweet piece of corn on the cob. But the star of the show, without a doubt, was the chicken... Beautifully grilled / smoked half chicken, super moist with flavor that lasts and lasts. I have been following Chef Champion online and made it a point to stop in today, regardless of the rain, to meet him. I am so glad I did. The food truck staff were friendly and polite, and chef was outgoing, personable and even stepped out to turn on the outside patio heaters in the middle of the rainy afternoon just for me. Thank you! Yes, we will be bringing the family back because there's so many more delightfully, delicious. Looking things to try.
