Cuisine: 10/10 Service: 10/10…read moreDecor: 9/10 Value: 10/10 Overall: 9 out of 10 Caribbean food in this area is lacking. When I came across this shop I was excited but not optimistic. I've had some seriously bad experiences including one where a shop didnt have any of the items I ordered so they sent me random stuff including french fries .... since when do Caribbean spots have french fries? To this day I think the shop was closed, they forgot to turn of the orders and decided to send me someones lunch. With that in mind, I was really pleased to see the positive reviews about this place and planned to head over on my day off. Here is the order I placed, in store, on 05/20/24: Lg Jerk Chicken (spicy) w/ mac and cheese, cabbage, and plantains Red velvet cake Champagne Cola (12oz) Total: $28 You cant miss this place. The signage is colorful and large. There was on street parking right out front but I noticed two or three spots on the actual lot with one marked handicapped. There's no seating in this place but I'm sure we've grown used to that shift following the pandemic. In this place, although there might be room for a table or two, the shop occupies that floor space with merchandise. Not like, shirts and bags but detergents, body washes and other personal care items like tooth brushes and deodarant for sale to the public. Given the size of the space, it wasnt obstructive or crowded. I love that entrepreneurship says everyplace can be a one stop shop. A smart move since the building is mixed use with residences above and I imagine that tenants can come down, grab a beef patty and Colgate. Most of us have a certain expectation for how we like our Jerk so ordering it as a first experience helps you to cage the cooking style. Dry or saucy? Spicy or Mild? Sweet? I'm not going to say that Jerk should always be spicy and sweet but Jerk should always be spicy and sweet. Argue with your mama. The platter I received was LOADED. Huge portion even for Large. Enough for two people (or one person with at least two leftover meals). The mac looked great - cheese pull proved it was creamy and the varying shades of gold let you know the mix of cheeses. The plantains were fresh, sweet, moist and not burned. Some places give you exactly five slanted slices with your meal be not here. Cabbage was flavorful and had bite (not limp, mushy). And the entire thing was delicious. As written on the interior signage, 'rice and peas' is not included in your platter purchase. It is a side dish option like all the others. Every drink you'd expect in the refrigerator was there: peanut punch, soursop, homemade sorrel as well as ginger pineapple drinks and various jamaican and american sodas. Carrot cake, red velvet, rainbow layer and cheesecakes available for dessert. Rumor has it that the worse the customer service the better the food at Caribbean spots. Dont believe the hype. The woman that took my order was pleasant and friendly and laughed with me when checking out. All in all it was a straightforward, fast and polite exchange like all food orders should be. The food was certainly good and I intend to go back. Wishing this place and its staff much success.

The quesadillas were super stuffed and healthy! Black beans, pico de gallo, chicken, and chipotle aioli on the side. The salsas were fresh and great flavor! I loved my chicken tacos and the guacamole was freshly smashed. The chips were fresh, everything was so fresh and tasty. I will be back to try their burrito. The service was attentive, quick, and detailed. This is a to go spot, so my husband and I waited outside in our truck while our food was made. The owner brought our order to us! Great customer service. The inside was clean, well lit, and I am hoping the summer time will mean stocked paletas in the freezer section of their spot.

I called ahead and asked if they could hold off on cooking my meal since I wasn't nearby yet (it was going to take me about 50 minutes to get there). I wanted my food hot and fresh, and they delivered exactly that! By the time I arrived, my order was still piping hot and ready to go. I ordered the salmon nuggets and swai with broccoli and red potatoes. The portion sizes were HUGE, I shared it with my teenager and still had enough left over for lunch the next day. Everything was cooked perfectly. The salmon nuggets were moist, not overcooked (which is hard to get right when frying salmon), and the swai was clean and flavorful. Even after reheating the next day, the fish was still tender and juicy, not dry at all. On top of all that, the customer service was amazing; and let's be honest, that's not always the case at seafood spots. the place looked like a typical seafood spot. If you know you know. It's not a dine-in restaurant. Overall, I give this place a 10/10. I'll definitely be back!

We were dining at a moderately quiet Saturday dinner, and there was a good amount of different seafood options.

Service was also really kind, we had such a sweet waitress who was ready to tell us when certain foods were ready or had been refilled. We'll be back!

(3 buffets, 3 sodas). We will not be returning. Fortune Buffet in Toms River is much better.
