The waiter was nice but the service was very hit/miss because sometimes we had to wait for him or try to find him but it usually didn't take long. He also had a difficult time figuring out how to split the 4-person tab into 2 couples. Hopefully he was new and this helped him learn. The music was very loud, more like closer to club level than restaurant level, which made it difficult for me to hear most of the time. I am not a true seafood lover as there are very few seafood items I eat but needless to say my husband couldn't say enough positive things about the catfish and grits and the other couple we were with absolutely loved that they got their calypso sauce on the side because then they got to enjoy the flavor and crispiness of the fish. The one crabcake on the Chesapeake Crabcake meal was very flavorful and I enjoyed it. Their food was very good. The prices weren't too bad but you also got a lot of food for the price. We had leftovers which was nice!

But even just based off of that, I thought the bread was super fluffy especially with it being fresh out the oven, I was in love. The beef patty was fine, but I've had better.

The service was good and I when I arrived I saw people sitting outside on the patio and it seemed like a chill after work hang out.

I am glad I tried this as I am hooked to this place now. I have gone back here three weekends in a row to try different things. On my first visit, I tried chicken roti wrap and oxtails with rice, cabbage and peas. They were both so delicious. The portions were great. Lasted for 4 meals. Definitely get the hot sauce on the side. Adds nice kick to it if you like it extra spicy. The next time I ordered buss up roti with oxtail stew and buss up roti with lamb stew. They both come with chicken peas and potato curry. Blend so well together. So delicious. Kinda addicting. It's a small place to dine in. They have about 5 tables. I recommend take out.

Just a note that the food does take a while to come out so if you're ordering with a large group make sure to pass the menu around beforehand so you can order when you sit down.

The entrees are quite large and if you wanted you could split them as well. I got the stew chicken with rice and plantain and it was extremely flavorful and great comfort food.

It's something that's only available from 7:00-11:00am on weekends, and I'm usually sleeping in or just not ready to get out of the house that early. My family and I were leaving for NY early on a Saturday morning, and I had no choice but to be awake and ready. So before we took off, I took advantage! It was around 8:30am and I was the only one in the restaurant. But it smelled amazing in there and they were friendly and happy! I had glimpsed the menu online, and I was scanning their screens for it above the register, but they had their regular menu up. I was walked through the options, and even got to taste a few things. I got to try sa\da roti for the first time, and I was intrigued. It's very similar to pita bread, but after looking it up I learned of the subtle differences. I was able to put pumpkin, smoked herring, saltfish, or eggplant & potatoes in it. I got food for my parents as well, so I settled on quite a few things: -Sada roti w/ pumpkin -Sada roti w/ eggplant/potatoes -Bake & saltfish -3 aloo pies Everything... was... STELLAR.

For those who don't know, Flavor Hive is a halal truck that will either give you a tray or stuff your bag of chips, fries, pizza, or anything you bring to them.

I stepped inside and was surprised by how empty it was. And yes, items like jerk chicken, plantain, and cabbage were options to top my lovely bag of multigrain chips with.
