Reviews
“ Came here for the first time in about 4 years & the jerk chicken is still the bomb! I might make another drive over this weekend & get some more! ”

“ Small corner store packed with the essentials! Jamaican food that's worth any drive and drinks. Across the street from the best show in town as well! This is a get and go spot unless you decide to eat in the parking lot. I highly recommend any tray of food you get from here! ”

“ The food was amazing. I had the oxtails rice and beans with cabbage. Plantains on the side! It was delicious. The oxtails were juicy and fall off the bone! I will be coming back again soon. ”

“ One should not judge a book by its cover. This is not a restaurant, not even a dive. It is one of those food places that only locals know about. When you overlook the appearance and find courage to go in, you won't be disappointed. I order a jerk chicken and a side of collard greens. The collard greens is the best I ever had. Soft, but not mushy, perfectly seasoned, with a tinge of vinegar. A generous serving of jerk chicken on a perfectly cooked bed of rice and peas. All these for less than the price of an appetizer at a restaurant. "Cooks and hosts" were very friendly also. ”
Richard K.
“ Seriously the real deal y'all, go get ya some! The curry chicken and brown stew chicken are both delicious, rice and peas, cabbage, and yams are equally tasty. Huge portions for the price as well. This is not a dine-in joint, but the folks are friendly. ”
