This was my first time eating here……NEVER AGAIN! I had the most horrible tasting brown stewed chunks that I have EVER had.
I ordered a jumbo dinner with 2 sides.
THE WORST.
The chunks tasted as if they were soaked in pure vinegar.
The gravy or whatever tasted like it had a slimy/mushy texture pon di rice.
The rice in the rice and KIDNEY BEANS was parboiled….uggghhhh!!! Plaintains were nasty yf, coco bread nah even coco bread!! I was told I could have mac n cheese as a side for an additional $3…..it was a very small amount, not tasty at all, but the most bearable and the only thing I was able to FINISH .
I am very sorry I wasted almost $26 on this meal.
The food tastes old and horrible which was not expected being that it was before 1pm…..LUNCHTIME! The pics that I shared is what I COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT EAT!!! Money WASTED instead od waisted as I hoped.👎🏾

We ordered the curry shrimp plate with cabbage and rice.
Also, the jerk chicken with double cabbage with rice.
It was so good.
We only had one Jamaica restaurant go to, but now we have another.
The chicken was so juicy, and the cabbage had so much flavor.
I couldn't stop eating it, lol.
We ordered the cornbread, which was very different (especially for a southerner).
It was a little too sweet for my liking.
The flavor had a bit of cinnamon in it.

Not that impressed as my first time.
Yellow rice was not good.
Cabbage was bland.
Oxtails ok.
Macaroni only took one bite (don’t even remember what it tasted like) Beef patties seemed like frozen ones because it wasn’t fresh….
Overall because it was the basic of basic Caribbean food and because I would go back if I got desperate, I’ll give them 3 out 5.
No rush to go back but I would.
When I was in there a man was taking his jerk chicken back because they were salty.
Reviews on Yelp, there were a few complaints about the saltiness.
My next visit will be to try the jerk wings/chicken… whenever that will be!
