    First time here and this has been a pleasant experience. We were greeted very warmly and welcoming. My sister and I ordered the jerk chicken and curry chicken. The place wasn't too busy and we waited about 15-20 minutes for our order to be completed. We quietly sat and listened to a nice mix of popular Jamaican hits to keep us entertained. Here's my take on the food: Jerk chicken: Tender. Smokey. Flavorful. Unfortunately not spicy. Everyone makes their jerk differently and in my opinion the flavor of the chicken makes up for the lack of heat that I was anticipating. Curry chicken: Pretty good, very tender. A good amount of flavor. Vegetables: The cooked/steamed perfectly with the right amount of flavor. Rice and peas: A bit on the mellow side when it comes to flavor but it's a good consistency in texture. It serves its purpose in soaking up the flavors of the entrée to provide a balanced experience without being overwhelmed. I will definitely come back and I encourage others to give this place a try.

    Friendly service and delicious food. I ordered fried snapper, head removed, and jerk wings. I got a whole snapper with head and leg thigh quarter instead of wings. This is the reason for 3 stars instead of 4. The food was delicious! Snapper was crispy and seasoned. The flavor of the chicken was so good. Then I combined it with the rice and cabbage and it was another level. Get extra jerk sauce on your rice. The portions were very generous. I'm going back to get my wings. Great food.

    Small portion of Jerk Chicken and cabbage. Yum!

    I ordered the jerk and cabbage and OMGoodness! The dish was bursting with flavor!!! The smokiness of the chicken, the ginger, allspice and pepper I could clearly distinguish, it was all good. Because it is a "carryout only" spot (curbside for now) and it was my first time dining there, I figured I should take a couple of bites before I left. Well, I ended up devouring most of it before I drove off. Lol If you enjoy Jamaican food, this is it! In all transparency, the people in the surrounding area initially had me on guard, but proved to be unbothersome. Don't let that deter your visit.

He was genuinely friendly, accommodating with my order, and made me feel like a valued customer from the moment I walked in. While waiting for my food, we chatted about other Jamaican restaurants around Cincinnati. What stood out most was how highly he spoke of the competition. Instead of putting other restaurants down, he gave each one credit where it was due. That level of confidence and respect says a lot about both the owner and the business. I took a quick look around while I waited, and the restaurant was spotless. The space felt clean, comfortable, and inviting. I ordered my meal to go and had about a 30-minute drive home. When I finally opened my container, steam poured out and the food was still piping hot. That's the kind of freshness you hope for but don't always get! The only hiccup was that my macaroni and cheese was accidentally left out of my bag. I called the restaurant, and before I could even explain why I was calling, the owner immediately acknowledged the mistake. He apologized and assured me he'd remember me the next time I came in. His response was genuine and customer focused, which made the situation easy to overlook. Great hospitality, delicious fresh food, and excellent customer service. If this first visit is any indication, I'll definitely be back and next time, I'm getting extra mac and cheese!

The menu looked amazing, so I drove us there. When we pulled up, I thought we had the wrong place. It is inside of an office building. Tip: Go to the second floor and make a left. The aroma of the food will lead your right to it. When we arrived, they had music playing and chill vibes. You can order and pay through the kiosk. After we placed our order, we went into the dining area. The food came out pretty quickly. I ordered 10 wings and coco bread. For my flavors, I selected the pineapple jerk wings and the honey jerk wings. The owner came out personally and brought my wings to me. The owner is a really solid dude. He gave us the backstory on the restaurant and told us about his homemade sauces. You can tell that he really is passionate about his business. The wings were smoked and sauced to perfection! And they are 10 for $10! Can't beat that price for the quality they are giving you. The coco bread was a nice addition, I used it to soak up the leftover jerk sauce I had in my container! My wife got the jerk salmon with fried rice and jerk yum yum sauce. Yes, you heard me right! Jerk Yum Yum Sauce!!! I had to steal a couple of bites off of her plate, and I shared one of my wings with her. She loved her meal, and the jerk yum yum sauce was phenomenal. We ordered The Hut Punch, which is sugar-free and comes with real fruit pieces. It was very refreshing and flavorful. Lastly, the customer service! We met the owner and his wife. They have managed to bring a piece of Jamaica to Ohio. When we were about to leave to head back to Columbus, I told my wife that I couldn't leave without getting some jerk yum yum sauce to go. I asked if they sold sauces to go. The owner went out of his way to go and purchase containers so that I could take some home. He didn't have to do that, but I am truly grateful that he did. I am now back in Columbus, and I have already started pouring on my fried rice and loving every bite! If you love Jamaican food, you have to try this place! Jerk Wings 1-5=5! Coco Bread 1-5=4. Salmon Fried Rice 1-5=5. Hut Punch 1-5=4. Jerk Yum Yum Sauce 1-5=5! Customer Service 1-5=5! Even though they are Bengals fans. #GoBrowns

I ordered their island rice box: Jamaican rice & beans, Caribbean slaw, mango salsa and of course their jerked chicken. The mango was bright and tart, the slaw was crisp and creamy, the rice soaked up some of the flavor from the smokey and succulent chicken. I would eat this once a day if I could! The plantains were perfectly sweet with just enough sear and caramelization. I actually dropped my first order seconds after collecting it, and they replaced it free of charge rather than let me enact the five second rule. If you see this bright green truck, do not fail to stop!

I love what they have done with the building. I love all the artwork that you can buy from several local artist hanging all over the place. They have two arcade games, a pool table and a jukebox. A coin machine for all three. Everyone who works here is really nice and down to earth for the most part. The bartenders were always making sure the place, including the restrooms were always clean. Which is nice for a bar especially when a show is happening. Things can get gross REAL fast. The woman who reviewed this place and said they didn't have cans of beer or draft, I have literally no idea what she's talking about because they definitely have both. They had three beers on tap and I know they for sure had Cheetah by Rhinegeist and PBR in cans. I'm sure they had more. They have a large drink selection at the bar. Apparently, they also have food usually, but the kitchen was closed last night. The stage is small and oddly set up with a weird pillar in the middle, in-front of the stage. But it's still a good small place to play. Just prepare to get sweaty when the room is packed. Glad we have a low key, cool place now to hang out and have shows in Latonia. We will definitely be back.
