★★★★☆ 4.0 Simona Bambina · Jul 2025

Nice lil jerk spot with Fast service about 15-35mins. Very good catfish dinner. Had everything i like. Wish it was bigger to sit in but great for after work pick up.

10 years ago this place was a hit🎯 everything use to be fresh, and cooked with care. When the owner (Jamaican woman) was in there preparing,and cooking the meals herself. It used to be one of my faves! l Now it has gone completely downhill❕ They microwave the food. The customer service sucks, and one customer had a roach in her rice. It's really sad how this restaurant turned out. I'm not sure who's running the place now, I'll never return, unless they get new cooks, new management, new everything ‼️ I don't try to bash businesses or be mean, but as a customer you have an opinion, especially when you're spending your hard earned money 😢

So, my son wanted jerk chicken, so we came here. He ordered his food, came to the car and started eating. I asked how was it and he told that he wish it had more jerk sauce on it and that it wasn't what he expected.

I ordered the oxtails and catfish as I was eating the catfish smell old I mean it was really loud so I called them and the lady that worked there told me the fish is not old. She just made it this morning. Mind you I ordered my food at 8 o’clock at night. This Restaurant can get somebody sick and clearly the people that work there knows nothing about food and need some type of license or class to teach them

*Completely Crushed* I have been coming to this Jerk spot for years. However today was my last time. I grabbed a jerk chicken lunch special today with the intentions to devour my plate. I began eating my food and to my surprise I had a (roach) or bug of some sort under my chicken. Horrified and severely unsettled I called the establishment to inform a manager of there unsanitary health conditions to only be told to come back to the location. I live 30 minutes away but nevertheless. I deserved a full refund. While in the restaurant the cashier reacted as if this was an everyday occurrence. No concern nor remorse. I honestly felt like this may happen quit often and she was immune to the facts. I did receive a full refund but I will never return. JUST NASTY (DO NOT RECOMMEND)
