    Devilish Eggs w/ Jerk Fried Shrimp
    Joshua P.

    I haven't been to the actual restaurant, I've only ordered through UberEats. It has been a hit every time. I have ordered so many things and I have yet to be disappointed. The devil eggs, the oxtails, jerk chicken and stuffed salmon all a hit. I will continue to order from here.

    Stuffed Jerk Salmon with Candied Yams & Greens & Cabbage

    I've been wanting to try this place out. It did not disappoint. The spice is spicing. I got stuffed salmon with sweet potatoes & cabbage & greens. We got an order of the jerk crab fries and he got spicy chicken linguine & 2 orders of watermelon breeze. Superb.

    Oxtail, Candied Yams Curry Cabbage
    Grace J.

    Yum, yum, yum! Ordered the oxtail dinner delivery last night and it was DELICIOUS. They give you more than enough oxtails that are all meaty, candied yams cooked perfectly and the curry cabbage was surprisingly good. I ate the entire plate and was so full afterwards. My friend ordered the jerk chicken dinner which she shared was perfectly spicy, along with collards and rice and peas. She also enjoyed everything on her plate. Since we ordered delivery, I can't speak for service or ambiance; however, I will be making an in-person visit to try more of their menu in the future! If you haven't already, try them out!

    Honey Butter Corn Muffin

    Had a taste for Caribbean and wanted to try somewhere I haven't before. Did a quick search on Uber Eats and found this spot. I ordered quite a lot because they were running a special. Greens & Cabbage:9/10- Not well seasoned and had a kick but still good Mac n cheese: 5/10- wouldn't order this again. Too spicy for my liking and oily. Shrimp- 5/10- wouldn't order this again. Not sure if it was the restaurants mix up or Uber Eats. There was supposed to be a Hot Honey Jerk Option but no selection could be made. I called the restaurant to let them know I had placed an Uber Eats order and this is what I wanted. They told me the Hot Honey Jerk wasn't a thing but they could give me jerk sauce on the side. I was appreciative, however, when the food came there was no jerk sauce lol. I might've liked it better jerked. Oreos: 1/10- they were soggy by time I got them (understandable) and I didn't know they came with chocolate drizzle. I would probably order them inside but never again uber eats Rice & Peas- 10/10- DELICIOUS!! I mean I ate this by itself! Probably the best part of the meal Cornbread Muffin- 10/10- this was some of the best cornbread I've had. It was very soft and cake like. I wish I had ordered 2. Definitely would get this again and again. Next time I eat here I would go and sit inside to get a feel of the atmosphere because the staff was extremely nice over the phone .

    My second visit and the food is consistently good. The restaurant is clean but nothing special in terms of atmosphere. Service is efficient and this time was super quick. The food is well prepared and delicious. I had the jerk wings not visits with the macaroni and cheese, which was wonderful, along with the greens and cabbage. I had a taste of my daughter's yams and they were fantastic. Glad to stop in for my second visit, and we will make this a regular stop when in the area!

    Food was good. The oxtail taco the cheese made it a bit salty. The keel shrimp taco flavorful n spiced right. The fried shrimp was ok. The Mac n cheese needed some flavor. Rice n beans compliment the spice n saltiness. The lemonades were delicious. Sweet little spot with a take out vibe. Service was friendly and didn't take too long. I would go back for those oxtail tacos!!!!

    Jerk crab fries
    Shaunie W.

    The food was ok. We ordered the salmon with curry cabbage and fried rice, suga and spice wings and the oxtail sandwich (which isn't displayed on the menu) and jerk crab fries. The oxtail sandwich would've hit better if it didn't have so many BIG pieces of peppers and there weren't pieces of bone inside. There was also way more "gristle" than meat. The flavor was good however. Maybe consider adding the oxtail gravy on the side because my bread was super soggy and offer it on coco bread instead of a roll. The crab fried were really good just really spicy. They give a good amount of lump crab which you don't find at other places. Highly recommend these. The salmon dinner had good flavor, I didn't taste the fried rice (because who would he even order that lol). The suga & spice wings tastes like they fried it and put sweet chili sauce on it. I also ordered the mango cooler which was good. It tastes like a mango jumex. The service wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. They weren't mean or anything but their attitude was just "blah". The menu online and the menu in the restaurant have prices that don't match. It's only by $1 however they need to match. The place was clean as well as the restroom. He wants to go back, I don't because I don't think what we had was worth $100. The only thing worth the price in MY opinion were the crab fries.

    Lemon Pepper Shrimp w/ Hot Honey Drizzle. Sides: rice and peas and honey cornbread

    The service was great. We were welcomed when we walked in. We were served in a timely manner. The food was okay. It has a lot of potential to be greater. The oxtail sliders were good, but it didn't have any sweetness to it. It tasted like stewed brisket with melted cheese on a slider. I wish it had a slaw on it or a different flavor profile. The jerk chicken egg rolls tasted great on the first bite but not the rest. I understand that the chicken may have jerk seasoning, but the sauce was needed throughout the egg roll. I would ask for extra sauce next time. Also, the aioli was a little heavy on the mayo. The seasoning on the fries was great. I tried the shrimp from my friend's plate. It was cooked well, but I felt like there was something missing. Maybe it needed more sauce. Last, but not least, I tried the honey cornbread. It was amazing! It was moist and sweet. I would definitely go back just for the cornbread.

    Jerk Chicken Coco Bread Coco Sandwich
    Larry H.

    I came here with a friend to catch up and grab some delicious comfort food. Joy greeted us the minute we walked in with a cheerful and friendly vibe, and within two minutes, she ran down the entire menu like a pro. Even though it was dinnertime, I ordered the Coco Jerk Chicken Sandwich, and wow I was seriously surprised by the portion size. This might be the best $15.90 I've spent in a while. The fries? Seasoned with chili and Old Bay, crispy and flavorful. The chicken fillet had that perfect balance soft inside with a slight crunch, and seasoned just right. Next time I'm in the area, I'm definitely coming back.

    Sunday 2/9/25 I made a takeout order online via toast and got the coco jerk chicken sandwich with/ fries & peach lemonade $15, fried chicken and Hawaiian French toast (Suga & spice sauced wings) $20, and the white chocolate bread pudding. My food was slated to be ready at 1:40 pm, but it wasn't ready until 1:48 pm. Also, I was really looking forward to the oxtail sliders, strawberry lemonade, and strawberry mango lemonade, but they were all sold out. - The coco jerk sandwich meal is the definition of VALUE due to the great bang for your buck. The jerk chicken sandwich was cheesy & messy, and it was still good, and they don't skimp on portions at all. - The seasoned fries were flat out awful: they tasted stale and old. You can just tell the fries weren't fresh. - The Peach lemonade, while not being my first or second option, turned out to be decent. - The Suga & spice fried wings were good. You get around 7x wings that are slightly sauced with the Suga & spice sauce, which reminds me of a specific Asian/Chinese type of sauce that I can't remember. Also, the wings would've been better if they were properly sauced. - The Hawaiian French toast is a very cool concept, but it suffered from an underwhelming execution. They're alright, but I honestly expected better. - The white chocolate bread pudding was delicious. It's a different type of bread pudding that's very moist & dense. You get a good portion of it, and it would be taken to another level with the addition of ice cream & a house-made bread pudding sauce like a praline sauce, but that's just me nitpicking, it's good as is. Overall, my experience at Suga & Spice was good and memorable, and what makes it even better is that it's a black owned business, which is great to see. I would be open to returning and recommending. I really want to go 5-star, but the disappointing fries and French toast are keeping me at a 4-star for now.

    I haven't been to the DMV in 20 years. So blessed to see a spot like this in my family's hometown. Put my father to rest last week. This was the comfort and healing I needed. Suga & Spice was an absolutely loving environment. Warm embrace, authentic Caribbean cooking. Antoine and his loving staff greeted me and chopped it up with a welcome informed conversation genuine condolences on my father's passing. Antoine and his whole team came out talk to me and laughed with me making me sure we feel welcome .Time and laughter heal all wounds, thank you, Suga & Spice.

    S & S Wings with Crab Mac and Curry Cabbage
    Jahaan T.

    My coworkers and I ordered from here back in April. The food was just okay. I had the S & S wings which were pretty good. I just recommend not getting them deep fried since they're tossed. I also had the crab Mac and curry cabbage. I wish the Mac had the crab mixed in and was better seasoned. But I'd try again.

After walking in (take-out only), and seeing that there were six people waiting for their food, I was convinced, this place CAN be trusted. So, staff, really nice. Informative, hospitable, and accommodating. As indicated, exclusively "Take-out," so not much attention given to aesthetics. All those waiting raved about the food. People there have been patronizing the restaurant for decades. Again, very good sign. Ordered chitterlings, potato salad, and collard greens. Initially thought $30.00 was a bit much, given I'd NEVER eaten chitterlings "out," BUT, thought about what it actually requires, and quickly changed my mind. The price point is fine. Everything was delicious. Everything. Including the Cornbread. Given I know how to cook, there were obviously some things I would have done differently. That doesn't even matter, this place is my "Soul Food" "go-to." If they can do chitterlings well, they can do anything. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu. I highly recommend.

Customer service is consistently fast and friendly, which keeps me coming back. When I'm here, I usually stick to my go-to favorites: the catfish bites or the shrimp. Both are packed with flavor and fried to absolute perfection. And let's talk about the fries--crispy, tasty, and honestly some of the best in the area. Bonus points because the food always comes out piping hot. The music playlist will have you dancing in your seat while you eat, adding to the already lively atmosphere. They run great daily specials, and happy hour can get pretty busy--but it's always love, good vibes, and a good time. Parking does fill up fast, so plan accordingly--but trust me, you don't want to miss out on the food, drinks, and overall experience

Bright and open with an integrated coffee bar, the noise level is better than most. Table settings are beautiful with fresh flowers. The food, though, is outstanding. We were there for brunch on a Saturday. We shared the skillet cornbread and deviled eggs and agreed they were excellent, but the deviled eggs were top-notch. For entrees we had a brisket bennie, brisket hash, and fried chicken and biscuits. Everyone said their dish was the best dish. I had the fried chicken - just the right honey and heat, and the biscuits were fluffy, buttery heaven. We were stuffed but Jorge and Matt (one of the owners) dropped off a complimentary order of apple donuts with raspberry jam. I shouldn't be surprised but the chunks of real apple in the donuts - wow. I don't know how they serve food this good in a location this beautiful and such reasonable prices. I guarantee, though, we'll be back for dinner and be regular customers in the future.
