There is not a lot of interior seating so prepared to wait in your vehicle (I'm a fan) . The menu is easy to follow and all of the staff is welcoming. I like that when they give an estimated time for your order to be ready, that it's pretty spot on! Now to the food. The salmon was not dry, nor was it over a seasoned. The macaroni was awesome and the okra was fresh and crispy. Not a huge rice eater and it was a lot, I ate some of eat; it was also good. Definitely on the visit again list!

I left a 3 review then and the owners contacted me. It's been 4 months and I just made it back. Glad I did! They had the oxtails and I'll be back for them again. My daughter got the grilled cheese with oxtails and she loved it. It's full of oxtail. We got fried okra Mac n cheese and collards as our side dishes. Nicole was super kind when we came in, we waited in the car for our food and it was ready early so she brought it out to us. I know that's not a usual service but she had the time, thanks Nicole.

It's a pick up location that is clean and well maintained. Now, the main attraction, the food. Those smoked oxtails made me want to turn around and order a full pan of them! They were tender, flavorful, and saucy. The seafood Mac and cheese had the right amount of cheese and you could enjoy the seafood! The lamb chops, cooked medium, were cooked to perfection. Flavor was through and through. The yams needed a little sauce for me, but they were still flavorful. I am coming back to Columbia JUST to revisit this place forsure! Make sure yall go get a plate ASAP.

For our lunch, we decided to dive into the menu with the Brown Stew Chicken and Oxtail, and let me tell you... every bite was packed with flavor. The kind of meal where the first bite makes you pause because you can instantly taste the love and seasoning that went into it. The Brown Stew Chicken was tender, flavorful, and falling right off the bone. Served with rice, and one side, I upgraded my side to the Rasta Pasta and it was 100% worth it. Creamy, delicious, and the perfect addition to the meal. My husband went for the Oxtail with peas and rice plus a side of macaroni and cheese. That oxtail was cooked perfectly -- rich, comforting, and full of those bold island spices you hope for. And don't forget about one of their lemonades! We got Island Apple Lemonade -- refreshing, sweet, and the perfect match for all those incredible flavors. One thing that stood out to us was the attention to detail. The sides weren't just there to fill the plate -- they brought their own flavor and made the whole meal come together. We left already talking about what we need to try next because there is definitely more of this menu we need to explore! If you're craving authentic island-inspired comfort food in the Columbia area, be sure to give Tati's Island Cuisine a try! Everyone was so kind and can't wait to go back!

Oh, and the oxtail egg rolls, my,my,my! My disappointment was that they were sold out of plantains.

Most people did carry out, but I chose to stay and really enjoyed the flavors and music!.

After scrolling online, I realized I've been waiting a long time. It wasn't a 45 minute wait and not a 90 minute wait. At 4:55 I inquired about my order and was told it was coming soon. I asked what happened and was told that I have to understand they only have one oven and four eyes on the stove. She also said that it's like that because their online post went viral. And to top it off, one of my sides was not even put on the plate. I'm a patient person and have some sympathy when a restaurant receives a large crowd which was not the case. When I arrived there was about 12 people inside. Tell everyone what's going on. If there's gonna be a longer wait time or if you ran out of something. Nobody says anything until you go to the counter. This was my first visit and I can guarantee it was my last.

I thought I had found a pretty good soul food restaurant, NOT!! I like the cook-to-order thing they got going on, but they need to practice timely preparation. I ordered a hamburger the other day and waited 30mins, when I got it home it was like eating a brick burger, talking about well done, it was well over done. That was almost $15 gone down the drain. If it hadn't been for the fries, I would've thrown the whole thing away. I could've taken it back up there and express my concern, but you know dealing with ya'll ain't in the cards. Some people don't know how to take criticism when someone is being nice and low-key about it. I ordered a porkchop sandwich another time and when I got it home, I did throw the whole sandwich away, I waited 45mins for that sandwich and I live 3mins from the place and it was like they re-heated something from the day before. I don't know if they're changed managment, family members or what, but what I do know is that they need to do better than what they're doing now. You know, that place is too small to have 3 violations, hope there's not another one. Let me get back to the good, I've had their loaded potatoes twice and they haven't disappointed me yet with that one. I haven't had one since their time of operation changed, since that plays a big part in building a successful business, I will give them a try one more time, hope they don't make me write them up or should I say write them off.
