Definitely the best chicken I’ve had in Texas.
Reminds me of chicken I’ve had in Georgia and Tennessee.
I also loved the sides.
Where else could I get sweet plantains with fried chicken.
The owner was great.
My daughter even loved it.

This place has really gone downhill.
I spent $28 on the oxtail and jerk chicken combo and it was a disappointment! The oxtail had more bones than meat and the jerk chicken was extra dry and tasted like bland baked chicken with no seasoning.
I got up to inform the waitress about the issues but all she stated was that it was jerk chicken and they had to get the jerk seasoning elsewhere and just said sorry and didn't try to rectify the situation.
I ended up not eating it and left the establishment.
If you love Jamaican food like I do, this place isn't it! I wouldn't spend my hard earned money at this establishment again. Edit: Response to the owner: If you read the post correctly, it didn't state anything about me wanting the chicken spicy it was "extra dry and tasted like bland baked chicken with no seasoning".
My boyfriend got the rasta pasta which was a different plate than the one I received so why would he complain about the same thing? Instead of being combative why don't you look at some of your poorly rated reviews within the last 6 months and improve the quality of your food and customer service so you wouldn't be receiving reviews such as this.

Owner response

So you’ve been eating here all along and you’ve never complimented the food and the one time that it’s not exactly what you’re looking for then you choose to leave a negative review.
You asked what have we changed about the jerk chicken because it’s not as spicy as it use to be and you were advised that we haven’t changed anything it was just not as spicy. We are an establishment that’s cooking for not just one person.
We have several customers and we will never be able to please everyone.
Some people complain that it’s too spicy and some people complain that’s it’s not spicy enough.
The person that you were here with comes here very often and he never complains and he wasn’t complaining.
So obviously he was satisfied but you weren’t.

The food here is buzzin.
Somebody pour their soul into make my plate!! I have been searching for some really good food and I FINALLY found the real deal.
I got the oxtail plate with plantain and the rice&peas.
The plantain have the right level of sweetness and are not overly oily.
The rice&pea are golden especially in the oxtail sauce.
The oxtail are cooked to perfection!!! I promise that this is the golden spot!
