A very commercialized version of Jamaican food/restaurant.
It's like Taco Cabana or Taco bell for Mexican food.
You get the idea but it doesn't give me authenticity at all.
Very clean and decent service.
Limited parking.
Rice and peas was the best part unfortunately.

This place is spicy, but it's a jerk shack, and it's supposed to be.
I open with that because if you don't enjoy a lot of seasoning on your food, this might not be for you.
I showed up at about 4:30 pm, and the place was packed.
They were wrapping up a filming of Dinners Drive-ins and Dives, and that may have increased the popularity a bit.
I went specifically to try the jerk chicken, but they were out.
This is a veteran owned business so there was no way I was leaving without trying something.
I went with the fried chicken, and it was pretty good, The Masala fries are very flavorful with a sweet, salty, and almost curry taste to them.
They had a lot of seasoning, but it was balanced well.
Here's the kicker, I'd go back just for the Mac N Cheese...
it's really good and tastes like no other Mac N Cheese I've ever had. Atmosphere wise, this place sits about 60 people and can get pretty crowded.
Service wise, it was busy when we got there.
I waited 15 minutes to order, and it took 30 minutes to get my order. The staff was really friendly and helpful, but I did notice that not everyone in the kitchen area was wearing a hat.
That kinda turned me off a little bit, but that aside, I think I'm going back to try the jerk chicken...
I feel like it's calling me!

Let's be honest it is a jerk place so you are going to want to try the jerk chicken.
Nice modern place to grab lunch.
I suggest the platter with two pieces of jerk and two pieces of fried chicken.
Also had the pork sandwich.
And I can recommend that as well. First let's talk chicken moist, tender and definitely has the jerk spices.
The pork was moist and tender as well.
the pork reminded almost of a pulled pork slider but with jerk spices.
Both were solid meals. Sides: GET THE.
FRIES the are crisp on the out side perfect on the inside.
And the seasoning is spot on. I could see this place becoming a favorite for take-out.
