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.

Tender but not as tender as it could be. The plantains were also dry and hard not really sweet. They left the super big stems from the fresh herbs. The oxtail and plantains were so dry I could swear they were cooked at least a week ahead of time. The rice was okay and so was the patties. I had one beef and one chicken curry. Over all I was so so disappointed and for $25 a platter like I really want my money back. I will never go back. You should always take pride in your food and business.

I ordered a side of Jerk chicken, patties and a drink. I could not wait to eat. (Sigh) I was a bit disappointed because the Jerk chicken portions were way too big and it seemed as if they were done in the oven instead of on the grill. Authentic Jamaican Jerk Chicken is not usually served with gravy and this had way too much; it was almost like a stew but with less gravy. I ate it because it was edible but I'm not so sure I'll be back now, I could be nit picking because, like I said, I'm an island girl and I grew up on this type of food so YOU may like it if you end up going here.

Beef patties are delish, or so I am told :( Before I could try them, fellow diner had already consumed both! Maybe next time. Unfortunately too, no coco bread :( For vegetarians, there are options. Their vegetable stew was quite good. Also got a free sample with order. I picked the brown stew chicken, another tasty. Service very friendly. And takeout nicely packaged.

I loved the Salmon with beans & rice.

The plantains and meat pies were out of this world delicious!! Also, be sure to try a couple of their bottled sauces - hot sauce and their "Secret Sauce" are both made by Ziggels and taste excellent! Pick up a bottle or 2! I'll be back to try the Jerk Chicken and Fried Fish Mac Bowl!

This might be that Afro-Caribbean influence they are infusing. It would be hard for me not to get that. Their Jerk Smoke Salmon was also incredible -- another dish that was beyond amazing, besting your typical salmon dish that you'll find in many places. My only caution is for the parents; On certain nights , such as Wednesday (not sure if it's every week), they may have a comedy night, and that isn't family-friendly at all based on my experience. I would advise that they post a note to caution those bringing kids to ensure everyone has a good experience.
